Company:

Values and Principles

The tenets that guide a professional organization serve as both compass and map. Putnam's values have been shaped by experience and the shared personal convictions of its leaders. The articulation of these values serves as guidance for the members of our firm and as a pledge to our clients.

Focus:  At the core of our value creation for clients is our unequivocal focus on the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostics, and medical device industries. Since 1988, Putnam Associates has been dedicated to these markets more intensively and expertly than anyone else.

Dedication:  Each client’s success is our success. We are dedicated to helping our clients maximize the value of their opportunities through superior analysis and insight. The extraordinary efforts of our professionals in support of our clients are testimony to this core value.

Innovation:  The challenges our clients face are dynamic as are our efforts to develop insightful approaches to help them. We push ourselves to continually innovate in our knowledge base and analytic approaches to provide our clients with cutting edge tools to forge creative strategies for competitive advantage.

Versatility:  Our abilities as a firm are broad and deep. We approach a wide variety of issues for our clients with a diverse and flexible set of methodological alternatives. We use the right tools for each problem.

Integrity:  We demand the highest levels of personal and professional integrity from the members of our firm. Our interactions with clients at all levels are guided by these standards. Rigorously honest analysis of a strategic issue is at times painful, but the expectation of that honesty is the bedrock of our practice.

Respect:  Respect for our clients and for our colleagues is integral to our culture. Collaboration is an essential element of the Putnam team approach to problem solving and client interaction. It is part and parcel of being a professional at our firm.
