A unit of Power Corp. of Canada has acquired a mutual fund company from Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc.

Great-West Lifeco Inc., Winnipeg, paid Marsh, New York, $3.9 billion in cash for Putnam Investments, Boston.

Power Financial Corp., a financial services arm of Power Corp., Montreal, is Great-West’s parent.
