V.The section of the Prospectus entitled "MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON HOW THE PORTFOLIOS

INVEST - AST ACADEMIC STRATEGIES ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO - Principal Investment Policies" is hereby revised to add the information set forth below:

Principal Investment Policies:

International Value (Putnam). Putnam invests mainly in common stocks of large and midsize companies outside the United States, with a focus on value stocks. Value stocks are those Putnam believes are currently undervalued by the market. If Putnam is correct and other investors ultimately recognize the value of the company, the price of its stock may rise. Putnam invests mainly in developed countries but may also invest in emerging markets.

Putnam may consider, among other factors, a company's valuation, financial strength, growth potential, competitive position in its industry, projected future earnings, cash flows and dividends when deciding whether to buy or sell investments. Putnam may also use derivatives, such as certain foreign currency transactions, futures, options, warrants and swap contracts, for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. For example, Putnam typically use foreign currency forward contracts in connection with the portfolio's investments in foreign securities in order to hedge the portfolio's currency exposure relative to the portfolio's benchmark index. In addition, Putnam may engage in transactions involving equity-related derivatives, such as futures, options, certain foreign currency transactions and swap contracts, although they do not represent a primary focus of the portfolio.

VI.	The following paragraph is added to the section of the Prospectus entitled "HOW THE TRUST IS MANAGED
