Fund Profile

What are each fund`s objectives and principal investment strategies?

Worldwide funds:

Emerging Markets Stock Fund

Objective::The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in emerging markets.

Strategy::The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments (normally at least 80% of net assets) in emerging markets in Latin America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Stock selection reflects a growth style. An emerging market includes any country defined as emerging or developing by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), the International Finance Corporation, or the United Nations.

Countries in which the fund may invest are listed below and others will be added as opportunities develop:

  • Asia: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
  • Latin America: Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.
  • Europe: Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
  • Africa and the Middle East: Botswana, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe.
  • Global Stock Fund

    Objective::The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of established companies throughout the world, including the U.S.

    Strategy::We will diversify broadly by investing in a variety of industries in developed and, to a lesser extent, emerging markets. Normally, the fund will invest in at least five countries, one of which will be the U.S. Stock selection reflects a growth style. While we can purchase stocks without regard to a company`s market capitalization (shares outstanding multiplied by share price), investments will generally be in large and, to a lesser extent, medium-sized companies. The percentage of assets invested in U.S. and foreign stocks will normally be at least 80% of net assets and will vary over time according to the manager`s outlook.

    Fund Profile

    International Discovery Fund

    Objective: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of rapidly growing, small- to medium-sized companies outside the U.S.

    Strategy: The fund expects to invest substantially all of its assets outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly among developed and emerging countries throughout the world. Stock selection reflects a growth style. The fund will emphasize small- to medium-sized companies. Depending on conditions, the fund`s portfolio should be composed of at least 10 countries and 100 different companies. Normally, at least 80% of the fund`s net assets will be invested in stocks.

    International Growth & Income Fund

    Objective::The fund seeks long-term growth of capital and reasonable income through investments primarily in the common stocks of well-established, dividend-paying, non-U.S. companies.

    Strategy::We expect to invest substantially all of the fund`s assets outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly, primarily among the world`s developed countries. The fund will invest primarily (at least 65% of total assets) in the stocks of large, dividend-paying, well-established companies that have favorable prospects for capital appreciation, as determined by T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (T. Rowe Price International). Investments in emerging markets will be modest and limited to more mature developing countries. Our investing style is value-oriented, although we also look for earnings growth potential and catalysts for value to be realized. Country and sector allocations are driven both by stock selection and our assessment of top-down, fundamental prospects.

    International Stock Fund

    Objective::The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of established, non-U.S. companies.

    Strategy::The fund expects to invest substantially all of its assets in stocks outside the U.S. and to diversify broadly among developed and emerging countries throughout the world. Stock selection reflects a growth style. We may purchase the stocks of companies of any size, but our focus will typically be on large and, to a lesser extent, medium-sized companies. Normally, at least 80% of the fund`s net assets will be invested in stocks.

    Regional or country funds:

    Emerging Europe & Mediterranean Fund

    Objective: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of companies in the emerging market countries of Europe and the Mediterranean region.

    Fund Profile

    Strategy: The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments (normally at least 80% of net assets) in the emerging markets of Europe, including Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and the Mediterranean region, including the Middle East and North Africa. The fund may invest in common stocks in the countries listed below, as well as others as their markets develop:

  • Primary Emphasis: Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Poland, Russia, and Turkey.
  • Others: Bulgaria, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Morocco, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Tunisia, and Ukraine.
  • The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size, but our focus will typically be on the larger and, to a lesser extent, medium-sized companies in the regions. The fund seeks to take advantage of opportunities arising from such trends as privatization, the reduction of trade barriers, and progress toward Economic and Monetary Union in Europe. The fund is registered as "nondiversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a single company and own more of the company`s voting securities than is permissible for a "diversified" fund. Stock selection reflects a growth style.

    European Stock Fund

    Objective: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of European companies. Current income is a secondary objective.

    Strategy: Normally, at least five countries will be represented in the portfolio. The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments (normally at least 80% of net assets) in stocks of companies located in the countries listed below, as well as others as their markets develop:

  • Primary Emphasis: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom.
  • Others: Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, and Turkey.
  • Stock selection reflects a growth style. We also seek to take advantage of opportunities arising from such trends as privatization, the reduction of trade barriers, progress toward Economic and Monetary Union, and the potential growth of the emerging economies of Eastern Europe.

    Japan Fund

    Objective: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Japan.

    Strategy: The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments (normally at least 80% of net assets) across a wide range of Japanese industries and companies. Stock selection reflects a growth style.

    Latin America Fund

    Objective: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of companies located (or with primary operations) in Latin America.

    Strategy: The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments (normally at least 80% of net assets) in Latin American companies. At least four countries should be represented at any time. Investments may be made in the countries below, as well as others as their markets develop:

  • Primary Emphasis: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.
  • Others: Belize, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guatemala.
  • Stock selection reflects a growth style. We may make substantial investments (at times more than 25% of total assets) in the telephone companies of various Latin American countries. These utilities play a critical role in a country`s economic development. The fund is registered as "nondiversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a single company and own more of the company`s voting securities than is permissible for a "diversified" fund.

    New Asia Fund

    Objective: The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in companies located (or with primary operations) in Asia (excluding Japan).

    Strategy: The fund expects to make substantially all of its investments (normally at least 80% of net assets) in the countries listed below, as well as others as their markets develop:

  • Primary Emphasis: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
  • Others: Pakistan and Vietnam.
  • Stock selection reflects a growth style. The fund is registered as "nondiversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of assets in a single company and own more of the company`s voting securities than is permissible for a "diversified" fund.

    All funds (excluding International Growth & Income Fund):

    The funds use a growth investing approach in their individual investment
    strategies.

    Fund Profile

    Growth Investing

    T. Rowe Price International employs in-depth fundamental research in an effort to identify companies capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term earnings growth. We seek to purchase such stocks at reasonable prices in relation to present or anticipated earnings, cash flow, or book value, and valuation factors often influence our allocations among large-, mid-, or small-cap shares.

    While we invest with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and our outlook for industry sectors and individual countries, bottom-up stock selection is the focus of our decision-making. Country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, though we may limit investments in markets that appear to have poor overall prospects.

    In selecting stocks, we generally favor companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

  • leading market position;
  • attractive business niche;
  • strong franchise or monopoly;
  • technological leadership or proprietary advantages;
  • seasoned management;
  • earnings growth and cash flow sufficient to support growing dividends; and
  • healthy balance sheet with relatively low debt.
  • All funds

    Fund Profile

    In addition to their investments in common stocks (which will normally compose 80% of fund net assets), the funds may also purchase other securities, including futures and options, in keeping with each fund`s objectives.

    Each fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.

    Investment restrictions, such as a required minimum or maximum investment in a particular type of security, are measured at the time each fund purchases a security. The status, market value, maturity, credit quality, or other characteristics of each fund`s securities may change after they are purchased, and this may cause the amount of each fund`s assets invested in such securities to exceed the stated maximum restriction or fall below the stated minimum restriction. If this occurs, it would not be considered a violation of the investment restriction.

    Further information about each fund`s investments, including a review of market conditions and fund strategies and their impact on performance, is available in the annual and semiannual shareholder reports. To obtain free copies of these documents, call 1-800-638-5660. These documents are also available at troweprice.com.

    What are the main risks of investing in the funds?

    The risk profile of the funds varies with the investment style they pursue, their geographic focus, and whether they invest in developed markets, emerging markets, or both. Even investments in countries with highly developed economies are subject to significant risks.

    Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Some particular risks affecting these funds include the following:

  • Currency risk  This refers to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact on a fund`s holdings can be significant, unpredictable, and long-lasting, depending on the currencies represented in the portfolio and how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the funds do not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging programs. Further, exchange rate movements are volatile, and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.

    </R>

    Fund Profile

  • Geographic risk (Japan and regional funds)  Funds that are less diversified across geographic regions, countries, industries, or individual companies are generally riskier than more diversified funds. For example, investors in the Japan Fund are fully exposed to that country`s economic cycles, stock market valuations, and currency exchange rates, which could increase its risks compared with a more diversified fund. The economies and financial markets of certain regions  such as Latin America, Asia, and Europe and the Mediterranean regioncan be interdependent and may all decline at the same time.
  • Emerging market risk (Emerging Europe & Mediterranean, Emerging Markets Stock, Latin America, New Asia; other funds to a lesser degree, except Japan)  Investments in emerging markets are subject to abrupt and severe price declines. The economic and political structures of developing nations, in most cases, do not compare favorably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth and stability, and their financial markets often lack liquidity. These economies are less well developed and can be overly reliant on particular industries and more vulnerable to the ebb and flow of international trade, trade barriers, and other protectionist or retaliatory measures. Certain countries have legacies and/or periodic episodes of hyperinflation and currency devaluations. Governments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets. Investments in countries or regions that have recently begun moving away from central planning and state-owned industries toward free markets should be regarded as speculative. While some countries have made progress in economic growth, liberalization, fiscal discipline, and political and social stability, there is no assurance these trends will continue. Some countries have histories of instability and upheaval that could cause their governments to act in a detrimental or hostile manner toward private enterprise or foreign investment. Significant external risks currently affect some emerging countries.
  • The volatility of emerging markets may be heightened by the actions of a few major investors. For example, substantial increases or decreases in cash flows of mutual funds investing in these markets could significantly affect local stock prices and, therefore, fund share prices. These factors make investing in such countries significantly riskier than in other countries and any one of them could cause a fund`s share price to decline.

  • Other risks of foreign investing  Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development, differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards, uncertain tax laws, and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Investments outside the United States could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalization of a company or industry, expropriation of assets, or imposition of high taxes.
  • Small- and medium-sized company risk (International Discovery; others to a lesser degree)  To the extent each fund invests in small- and mid-capitalization stocks,

  • <R>
    8
    </R>

    Fund Profile

  • it is likely to be more volatile than a fund that invests only in large companies. Small and medium-sized companies are generally riskier because they may have limited product lines, capital, and managerial resources. Their securities may trade less frequently and with greater price swings.
  • Nondiversified status (Emerging Europe & Mediterranean, Latin America, and New Asia)  There is additional risk with each fund that is nondiversified and thus can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of companies. For example, poor performance by a single large holding of a fund would adversely affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of companies.
  • Futures/options risk  To the extent each fund uses futures and options, it is exposed to additional volatility and potential losses.
  • As with all stock funds, each fund`s share price can fall because of weakness in one or more of its primary equity markets, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Stock markets can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic developments, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive environment. In addition, our assessment of companies held in a fund may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets.

    As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee the funds will achieve their objectives.

    <R>
    Each fund`s share price may decline, so when you sell your shares, you may lose money. An investment in each fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
    </R>

    How can I tell which fund is most appropriate for me?

    Consider your investment goals, your time horizon for achieving them, and your tolerance for risk. Your decision should take into account whether you have any other foreign stock investments. If not, you may wish to invest in a widely diversified fund to gain the broadest exposure to global opportunities. A diversified emerging markets fund may be an appropriate part of your portfolio if you are supplementing existing holdings primarily in developed foreign markets. If you seek to supplement a diversified portfolio with a concentrated investment, a regional or single-country fund may be appropriate.

    Each fund can be used in both regular and tax-deferred accounts, such as IRAs.

    The fund or funds you select should not represent your complete investment program or be used for short-term trading purposes.

    Fund Profile

    How has each fund performed in the past?

    The bar charts showing calendar year returns and the average annual total returns table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable market index. Fund past returns (before and after taxes) are not necessarily an indication of future performance.

    The funds can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted.

    In addition, the average annual total returns table shows hypothetical after-tax returns to suggest how taxes paid by the shareholder may influence returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor`s situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant if the shares are held in a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) or IRA. During periods of fund losses, the post-liquidation after-tax return may exceed the fund`s other returns because the loss generates a tax benefit that is factored into the result.

    Returns are based on changes in principal value, reinvested dividends, and capital gain distributions, if any. Returns before taxes do not reflect effects of any income or capital gains taxes. Taxes are computed using the highest federal income tax rate. The after-tax returns reflect the rates applicable to ordinary and qualified dividends and capital gains effective in 2003. The returns do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Returns after taxes on distributions reflect the taxed return on the payment of dividends and capital gains. Returns after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares assume the shares were sold at period-end and, therefore, are also adjusted for any capital gains or losses incurred by the shareholder. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns, or taxes.

    aPrincipal return only.

    To participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans: The following questions and answers about buying and selling shares and services do not apply to your plan. Please call your plan`s toll-free number for additional information. Also note that this profile may include funds not available through your plan.

    How can I purchase shares?

    Fill out the New Account Form and return it with your check in the postpaid envelope. The minimum initial purchase is $2,500 ($1,000 for IRAs and gifts or transfers to minors). The minimum subsequent investment is $100 ($50 for IRAs, gifts or transfers to minors, or Automatic Asset Builder). You can also open an account by bank wire, by exchanging from another T. Rowe Price fund, or by transferring assets from another financial institution.

    How can I sell shares?

    <R>
    You may redeem or sell any portion of your account on any business day. Simply write to us or call. You can also access your account at any time via Tele*Access SM or our Web site. We offer convenient exchange among our entire family of domestic and international funds. Restrictions may apply in special circumstances, and some redemption requests need a signature guarantee.
    </R>

    When will I receive income and capital gain distributions?

    Each fund distributes income annually and net capital gains, if any, at year-end. For regular accounts, income and short-term gains are taxable at ordinary income rates, and long-term gains are taxable at the capital gains rate. Distributions are reinvested automatically in additional shares unless you choose another option, such as receiving a check. Distributions paid to IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans are automatically reinvested.
