Taft-Hartley fund selects Putnam

International Union of Operating Engineers Local Union 94-94A-94B, AFL-CIO, New York, hired Putnam Investments as bundled provider for its $600 million Taft-Hartley fund, said Laura McNamara, spokeswoman for Putnam. Details on the previous provider were not available at press time; James F. Berg, employer trustee for Local 94, did not return calls seeking information. Morgan Stanley assisted with the search, and a Morgan Stanley spokesman referred calls to the fund.
