Commentary

Dear

Shareholder

Most

major

global

stock

and

bond

indexes

produced

positive

returns

during

the

first

half

of

your

fund’s

fiscal

year,

the

six-month

period

ended

June

30,

2023.

Despite

turmoil

in

the

banking

sector

and

a

protracted

debt

ceiling

standoff,

markets

were

resilient

as

growth

remained

positive

in

the

major

economies

and

corporate

earnings

results

came

in

stronger

than

expected.

For

the

six-month

period,

the

technology-oriented

Nasdaq

Composite

Index

gained

more

than

30%,

the

strongest

result

of

the

major

benchmarks,

as

tech

companies

benefited

from

investor

enthusiasm

for

artificial

intelligence

applications.

Growth

stocks

outperformed

value

shares,

and

developed

market

stocks

generally

outpaced

their

emerging

market

counterparts.

Currency

movements

were

mixed

over

the

period,

although

a

weaker

dollar

versus

major

European

currencies

was

beneficial

for

U.S.

investors

in

European

securities.

Within

the

S&P

500

Index,

the

information

technology,

communication

services,

and

consumer

discretionary

sectors

were

all

lifted

by

the

tech

rally

and

recorded

significant

gains.

Conversely,

the

defensive

utilities

sector

had

the

weakest

returns

in

the

growth-focused

environment,

and

the

energy

sector

also

lost

ground

amid

declining

oil

prices.

The

financials

sector

partly

recovered

from

the

failure

of

three

large

regional

banks

during

the

period

but

still

finished

with

modest

losses.

Cheaper

oil

contributed

to

slowing

inflation,

although

core

inflation

readings—

which

exclude

volatile

food

and

energy

prices—remained

stubbornly

high.

In

response,

the

Federal

Reserve

raised

its

short-term

lending

benchmark

rate

to

a

target

range

of

5.00%

to

5.25%

by

early

May,

the

highest

level

since

2007.

The

Fed

held

rates

steady

at

its

June

meeting,

but

policymakers

indicated

that

two

more

rate

hikes

could

come

by

the

end

of

the

year.

In

the

fixed

income

market,

returns

were

generally

positive

across

most

sectors

as

investors

benefited

from

the

higher

interest

rates

that

have

become

available

over

the

past

year.

Investment-grade

corporate

bonds

were

supported

by

generally

solid

balance

sheets

and

were

among

the

strongest

performers.

Global

economies

and

markets

showed

surprising

resilience

in

recent

months,

but,

moving

into

the

second

half

of

2023,

we

believe

investors

could

face

potential

challenges.

The

impact

of

the

Fed’s

rate

hikes

has

yet

to

be

fully

felt

in

the

economy,

and

while

the

regional

banking

turmoil

appears

to

have

been

contained

by

the

swift

actions

of

regulators,

it

could

weigh

on

credit

conditions.

Moreover,

market

consensus

still

seems

to

point

to

a

coming

recession,

although

hopes

have

emerged

that

such

a

downturn

could

be

more

modest.

We

believe

this

environment

makes

skilled

active

management

a

critical

tool

for

identifying

risks

and

opportunities,

and

our

investment

teams

will

continue

to

use

fundamental

research

to

identify

securities

that

can

add

value

to

your

portfolio

over

the

long

term.

You

may

notice

that

this

report

no

longer

contains

the

commentary

on

your

fund’s

performance

and

positioning

that

we

previously

included

in

the

semiannual

shareholder

letters.

The

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

(SEC)

adopted

new

rules

in

January

that

will

require

fund

reports

to

transition

to

a

new

format

known

as

a

Tailored

Shareholder

Report.

This

change

will

require

a

much

more

concise

summary

of

performance

rather

than

the

level

of

detail

we

have

provided

historically

while

also

aiming

to

be

more

visually

engaging.

As

we

prepare

to

make

changes

to

the

annual

reports

to

meet

the

new

report

regulatory

requirements

by

mid-2024,

we

felt

the

time

was

right

to

discontinue

the

optional

six-month

semiannual

fund

letter

to

focus

on

the

changes

to

come.

While

semiannual

fund

letters

will

no

longer

be

produced,

you

may

continue

to

access

current

fund

information

as

well

as

insights

our

investment

personal

you

FUND

EXPENSE

EXAMPLE

As

a

mutual

fund

shareholder,

you

may

incur

two

types

of

costs:

(1)

transaction

costs,

such

as

redemption

fees

or

sales

loads,

and

(2)

ongoing

costs,

including

management

fees,

distribution

and

service

(12b-1)

fees,

and

other

fund

expenses.

The

following

example

is

intended

to

help

you

understand

your

ongoing

costs

(in

dollars)

of

investing

in

the

fund

and

to

compare

these

costs

with

the

ongoing

costs

of

investing

in

other

mutual

funds.

The

example

is

based

on

an

investment

of

$1,000

invested

at

the

beginning

of

the

most

recent

six-month

period

and

held

for

the

entire

period.

Please

note

that

the

fund

has

four

share

classes:

The

original

share

class

(Investor

Class)

charges

no

distribution

and

service

(12b-1)

fee,

Advisor

Class

shares

are

offered

only

through

unaffiliated

brokers

and

other

financial

intermediaries

and

charge

a

0.25%

12b-1

fee,

I

Class

shares

are

available

to

institutionally

oriented

clients

and

impose

no

12b-1

or

administrative

fee

payment,

and

Z

Class

shares

are

offered

only

to

funds

advised

by

T.

Rowe

Price

and

other

advisory

clients

of

T.

Rowe

Price

or

its

affiliates

that

are

subject

to

a

contractual

fee

for

investment

management

services

and

impose

no

12b-1

fee

or

administrative

fee

payment.

Each

share

class

is

presented

separately

in

the

table.

Actual

Expenses

The

first

line

of

the

following

table

(Actual)

provides

information

about

actual

account

values

and

expenses

based

on

the

fund’s

actual

returns.

You

may

use

the

information

on

this

line,

together

with

your

account

balance,

to

estimate

the

expenses

that

you

paid

over

the

period.

Simply

divide

your

account

value

by

$1,000

(for

example,

an

$8,600

account

value

divided

by

$1,000

=

8.6),

then

multiply

the

result

by

the

number

on

the

first

line

under

the

heading

“Expenses

Paid

During

Period”

to

estimate

the

expenses

you

paid

on

your

account

during

this

period.

Hypothetical

Example

for

Comparison

Purposes

The

information

on

the

second

line

of

the

table

(Hypothetical)

is

based

on

hypothetical

account

values

and

expenses

derived

from

the

fund’s

actual

expense

ratio

and

an

assumed

5%

per

year

rate

of

return

before

expenses

(not

the

fund’s

actual

return).

You

may

compare

the

ongoing

costs

of

investing

in

the

fund

with

other

funds

by

contrasting

this

5%

hypothetical

example

and

the

5%

hypothetical

examples

that

appear

in

the

shareholder

reports

of

the

other

funds.

The

hypothetical

account

values

and

expenses

may

not

be

used

to

estimate

the

actual

ending

account

balance

or

expenses

you

paid

for

the

period.

Note:

T.

Rowe

Price

charges

an

annual

account

service

fee

of

$20,

generally

for

accounts

with

less

than

$10,000.

The

fee

is

waived

for

any

investor

whose

T.

Rowe

Price

mutual

fund

accounts

total

$50,000

or

more;

accounts

electing

to

receive

electronic

delivery

of

account

statements,

transaction

confirmations,

prospectuses,

and

shareholder

reports;

or

accounts

of

an

investor

who

is

a

T.

Rowe

Price

Personal

Services

or

Enhanced

Personal

Services

client

(enrollment

in

these

programs

generally

requires

T.

Rowe

Price

assets

of

at

least

$250,000).

This

fee

is

not

included

in

the

accompanying

table.

If

you

are

subject

to

the

fee,

keep

it

in

mind

when

you

are

estimating

the

ongoing

expenses

of

investing

in

the

fund

and

when

comparing

the

expenses

of

this

fund

with

other

funds.

You

should

also

be

aware

that

the

expenses

shown

in

the

table

highlight

only

your

ongoing

costs

and

do

not

reflect

any

transaction

costs,

such

as

redemption

fees

or

sales

loads.

Therefore,

the

second

line

of

the

table

is

useful

in

comparing

ongoing

costs

only

and

will

not

help

you

determine

the

relative

total

costs

of

owning

different

funds.

To

the

extent

a

fund

charges

transaction

costs,

however,

the

total

cost

of

owning

that

fund

is

higher.

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America

(GAAP),

including,

but

not

limited

to,

ASC

946.

GAAP

requires

the

use

of

estimates

made

by

management.

Management

believes

that

estimates

and

valuations

are

appropriate;

however,

actual

results

may

differ

from

those

estimates,

and

the

valuations

reflected

in

the

accompanying

may

differ

from

the

ultimately

realized

upon

VALUATION 

Fair

Value

  The

fund’s

financial

instruments

are

valued

at

the

close

of

the

NYSE

and

are

reported

at

fair

value,

which

GAAP

defines

as

the

price

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

at

the

measurement

date. The fund’s

Board

of

Directors

(the

Board)

has

designated

T.

Rowe

Price

Associates,

Inc.

as

the

fund’s

valuation

designee

(Valuation

Designee).

Subject

to

oversight

by

the

Board,

the

Valuation

Designee

performs

the

following

functions

in

performing

fair

value

determinations:

assesses

and

manages

valuation

risks;

establishes

and

applies

fair

value

methodologies;

tests

fair

value

methodologies;

and

evaluates

pricing

vendors

and

pricing

agents.

The

duties

and

responsibilities

of

the

Valuation

Designee

are

performed

by

its

Valuation

Committee. The

Valuation

Designee provides

periodic

reporting

to

the

Board

on

valuation

matters.

Various

valuation

techniques

and

inputs

are

used

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments.

GAAP

establishes

the

following

fair

value

hierarchy

that

categorizes

the

inputs

used

to

measure

fair

value:

Level

1

–

quoted

prices

(unadjusted)

in

active

markets

for

identical

financial

instruments

that

the

fund

can

access

at

the

reporting

date

Level

2

–

inputs

other

than

Level

1

prices

that

are

observable,

either

directly

or

indirectly

(including,

to,

quoted

interest

rates

and

yield

and

credit

spreads)

Level

3

–

unobservable

inputs

(including

the Valuation

Designee’s assumptions

in

determining

fair

value)

Observable

inputs

are

developed

using

market

data,

such

as

publicly

available

information

about

actual

events

or

transactions,

and

reflect

the

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

to

price

the

financial

instrument.

Unobservable

inputs

are

those

for

which

market

data

are

not

available

and

are

developed

using

the

best

information

available

about

the

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

to

price

the

financial

instrument.

GAAP

requires

valuation

techniques

to

maximize

the

use

of

relevant

observable

inputs

and

minimize

the

use

of

unobservable

inputs.

When

multiple

inputs

are

used

to

derive

fair

value,

the

financial

instrument

is

assigned

to

the

level

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy

based

on

the

lowest-level

input

that

is

significant

to

the

fair

value

of

the

financial

instrument.

Input

levels

are

not

necessarily

an

indication

of

the

risk

or

liquidity

associated

with

financial

instruments

at

that

level

but

rather

the

degree

of

judgment

used

in

determining

those

values.

Valuation

Techniques 

Debt

securities

generally

are

traded

in

the over-the-counter

(OTC)

market

and

are

valued

at

prices

furnished

by

independent

pricing

services

or

by

broker

dealers

who

make

markets

in

such

securities.

When

valuing

securities,

the

independent

pricing

services

consider

factors

such

as,

but

not

limited

to,

the

yield

or

price

of

bonds

of

comparable

quality,

coupon,

maturity,

and

type,

as

well

as

prices

quoted

by

who

make

are

valued

at

the

Investments

in

private

investment

companies

are

valued

at

the

investee’s

NAV

per

as

of

the

date,

if

available.

If

the

investee’s

NAV

is

not

available

as

of

the

valuation

date

or

is

not

calculated

in

accordance

with

GAAP,

the

Valuation Designee

may

adjust

the

investee’s

NAV

to

reflect

fair

value

at

the

valuation

date.

Listed

and

OTC

options

with

a

listed

equivalent,

are

valued

at

the

mean

of

the

closing

bid

and

asked

prices

and

exchange-traded

on

contracts

are

valued

at

there

DERIVATIVE

INSTRUMENTS 

During

the

six

months ended

June

30,

2023,

the

fund

invested

in

derivative

instruments.

As

defined

by

GAAP,

a

derivative

is

a

financial

instrument

whose

value

is

derived

from

an

underlying

security

price,

foreign

exchange

rate,

interest

rate,

index

of

prices

or

rates,

or

other

variable;

it

requires

little

or

no

initial

investment

and

permits

or

requires

net

settlement.

The

fund

invests

in

derivatives

only

if

the

expected

risks

and

rewards

are

consistent

with

its

investment

objectives,

policies,

and

overall

risk

profile,

as

described

in

its

prospectus

and

Statement

of

Additional

Information.

The

fund

may

use

derivatives

for

a

variety

of

purposes

and

may

use

them

to

establish

both

long

and

short

positions

within

the

fund’s

portfolio.

Potential

uses

include

to

hedge

against

declines

in

principal

value,

increase

yield,

invest

in

an

asset

with

greater

efficiency

and

at

a

lower

cost

than

is

possible

through

direct

investment,

to

enhance

return,

or

to

adjust

portfolio

duration

and

credit

exposure.

The

risks

associated

with

the

use

of

derivatives

are

different

from,

and

potentially

much

greater

than,

the

risks

associated

with

investing

directly

in

the

instruments

on

which

the

derivatives

are

based.

The

fund

values

its

derivatives

at

fair

value

and

recognizes

changes

in

fair

value

currently

in

its

results

of

operations.

Accordingly,

the

fund

does

not

follow

hedge

accounting,

even

for

derivatives

employed

as

economic

hedges.

Generally,

the

fund

accounts

for

its

derivatives

on

a

gross

basis.

It

does

not

offset

the

fair

value

of

derivative

liabilities

against

the

fair

value

of

derivative

assets

on

its

financial

statements,

nor

does

it

offset

the

fair

value

of

derivative

instruments

against

the

right

to

reclaim

or

obligation

to

return

collateral.

The

following

table

summarizes

the

fair

value

of

the

fund’s

derivative

instruments

held

as

of

June

Counterparty

Risk

and

Collateral

 The

fund

invests

in

derivatives

in

various

markets,

which

expose

it

to

differing

levels

of

counterparty

risk.

Counterparty

risk

on

exchange-

traded

and

centrally

cleared

derivative

contracts,

such

as

futures,

exchange-traded

options,

and

centrally

cleared

swaps,

is

minimal

because

the

clearinghouse

provides

protection

against

counterparty

defaults.

For

futures

and

centrally

cleared

swaps,

the

fund

is

required

to

deposit

collateral

in

an

amount

specified

by

the

clearinghouse

and

the

clearing

firm

(margin

requirement),

and

the

margin

requirement

must

be

maintained

over

the

life

of

the

contract.

Each

clearinghouse

and

clearing

firm,

in

its

sole

discretion,

may

adjust

the

margin

requirements

applicable

to

the

fund.

Derivatives,

such

as

non-cleared bilateral

swaps,

forward

currency

exchange

contracts,

and

OTC

options,

that

are

transacted

and

settle

directly

with

a

counterparty

(bilateral

derivatives)

may

expose

the

fund

to

greater

counterparty

risk.

To

mitigate

this

risk,

the

fund

has

entered

into

master

netting

arrangements

(MNAs)

with

certain

counterparties

that

permit

net

settlement

under

specified

conditions

and,

for

certain

counterparties,

also

require

the

exchange

of

collateral

to

cover

mark-to-market

exposure.

MNAs

may

be

in

the

form

of

International

Swaps

and

Derivatives

Association

master

agreements

(ISDAs)

or

foreign

exchange

letter

agreements

(FX

letters).

MNAs

provide

the

ability

to

offset

amounts

the

fund

owes

a

counterparty

against

amounts

the

counterparty

owes

the

fund

(net

settlement).

Both

ISDAs

and

FX

letters

generally

allow

termination

of

transactions

and

net

settlement

upon

the

occurrence

of

contractually

specified

events,

such

as

failure

to

pay

or

bankruptcy.

In

addition,

ISDAs

specify

other

events,

the

occurrence

of

which

would

allow

one

of

the

parties

to

terminate.

For

example,

a

downgrade

in

credit

rating

of

a

counterparty

below

a

specified

rating

would

allow

the

fund

to

terminate,

while

a

decline

in

the

fund’s

net

assets

of

more

than

a

specified

percentage

would

allow

the

counterparty

to

terminate.

Upon

termination,

all

transactions

with

that

counterparty

would

be

liquidated

and

a

net

termination

amount

settled.

ISDAs

typically

include

collateral

agreements

whereas

FX

letters

do

not.

Collateral

requirements

are

determined

daily

based

on

the

net

aggregate

unrealized

gain

or

loss

on

all

bilateral

derivatives

with

a

counterparty,

subject

to

minimum

transfer

amounts

that

typically

range

from

$100,000

to

$250,000.

Any

additional

collateral

required

due

to

changes

in

security

values

is

typically

transferred

the

next

business

day.

Collateral

may

be

in

the

form

of

cash

or

debt

securities

issued

by

the

U.S.

government

or

related

agencies,

although

other

securities

may

be

used

depending

on

the

terms

outlined

in

the

applicable

MNA.

Cash

posted

by

the

fund

is

reflected

as

cash

deposits

in

the

accompanying

financial

statements

and

generally

is

restricted

by

because

For

bilateral

derivatives,

collateral

by

the

fund

is

held

in

a

segregated

account

at

the

fund’s

custodian.

While

typically

not

sold

in

the

manner

or

fixed

income

securities,

exchange-traded

or

centrally

derivatives

may

This

 The

risk

in

the

course

of

pursuing

It may use

forward

currency

exchange

(forwards)

primarily

to

protect

to

shift

the

fund’s

exposure

from

one

country

another,

or

to

enhance

A

forwards

are

reflected

are

reflected

as

on

the

accompanying

Statement

of

Risks

related

to

the

use

of

forwards

include

the

possible

failure

of

counterparties

to

meet

the

terms

of

the

agreements;

that

anticipated

currency

movements

will

not

occur,

thereby

reducing

the

fund’s

total

return;

and

the

potential

for

losses

in

excess

of

the

fund’s

initial

investment.

During

the

six

months ended

June

30,

2023,

the

volume

of

the

fund’s

activity

in

forwards,

based

on

underlying

notional

amounts,

was

generally

38%

Futures

Contracts

 The

fund

is

subject

to interest

rate

risk in

the

normal

course

of

pursuing

its

investment

objectives

and

uses

futures

contracts

to

help

manage

such

risk.

The

may

enter

into

futures

contracts

to

manage

exposure

to

interest

rate

and

yield

curve

movements,

security

prices,

foreign

currencies,

credit

quality,

and

mortgage

prepayments;

as

an

efficient

means

of

adjusting

exposure

to

all

or

part

of

a

target

market;

to

enhance

income;

as

a

another

of

a

specified

amount

of

a

specific

underlying

financial

instrument

at

Unpredictable

events

such

as

environmental

or

natural

disasters,

war,

terrorism,

pandemics,

outbreaks

of

infectious

diseases,

and

similar

public

health

threats

may

significantly

affect

the

economy

and

the

markets

and

issuers

in

which

the fund

invests.

Certain

events

may

cause

instability

across

global

markets,

including

reduced

liquidity

and

disruptions

in

trading

markets,

while

some

events

may

affect

certain

geographic

regions,

countries,

sectors,

and

industries

more

significantly

than

others,

and

exacerbate

other

pre-existing

political,

social,

and

economic

risks.

Since

2020,

a

novel

strain

of

coronavirus

(COVID-19)

has

resulted

in

disruptions

to

global

business

activity

and

caused

significant

volatility

and

declines

in

global

financial

markets.

In

February

2022,

Russian

forces

entered

Ukraine

and

commenced

an

armed

conflict

leading

to

economic

sanctions

being

imposed

on

Russia

and

certain

of

its

citizens,

creating

impacts

on

Russian-related

stocks

and

debt

and

greater

volatility

in

global

markets.

In

March

2023,

the

collapse

of

some

US

regional

and

global

banks

as

well

as

overall

concerns

around

the

soundness

and

stability

of

the

global

banking

sector

has

sparked

concerns

of

a

broader

financial

crisis

impacting

the

overall

global

banking

sector.

In

certain

cases,

government

agencies

have

assumed

control

or

otherwise

intervened

in

the

operations

of

certain

banks

due

to

liquidity

and

solvency

concerns.

The

extent

of

impact

of

these

events

on

the

US

and

global

markets

is

highly

uncertain.

These

are

recent

examples

of

global

events

which

may

have

a

negative

impact

on

the

values

of

or

AGREEMENT

Each

continuation

of

management

agreement

(Advisory

Contract)

between

the

and

its

that

the

Adviser

has

entered

into

with

T.

on

behalf

In

that

regard,

at

a

meeting

held

on

March

6–7,

2023

(Meeting),

the

Board,

including

all

of

the

approved

the

At

the

approval

by

independent

legal

from

whom

they

received

separate

In

providing

was

guided

by

a

detailed

set

of

requests

for

information

submitted

by

independent

counsel

on

In

considering

and

approving

the

the

Board

considered

the

information

it

believed

was

considered

not

with

the

Meeting

but

also

the

knowledge

gained

over

time

through

various

topics.

The

regularly

at

each

of

covers

an

extensive

and

considers

advisory

contracts,

including

performance

and

the

services

and

support

provided

to

the

and

their

shareholders.

Services

Provided

by

the

Adviser

and

The

Board

considered

the

nature,

quality,

and

extent

of

the

services

provided

to

the

fund

by

the

Adviser

and

Subadviser.

These

services

included,

but

were

not

limited

to,

directing

the

fund’s

investments

in

accordance

with

its

investment

program

and

the

overall

management

of

the

as

well

as

a

activities

such

as

financial,

investment

operations,

and

administrative

services;

compliance;

maintaining

the

fund’s

records

and

registrations;

and

shareholder

communications.

The

Board

also

reviewed

the

background

and

experience

of

the

Adviser’s

and

Subadviser’s

senior

management

teams

and

investment

personnel

involved

in

the

and

extent

of

the

services

provided

by

In

as

which

In

in

conducted

with

during

The

that

could

Costs,

Benefits,

Profits,

and

Economies

of

The

Board

reviewed

detailed

information

regarding

the

revenues

received

by

the

Adviser

under

the

Advisory

and

other

direct

and

indirect

benefits

that

the

(and

its

may

have

realized

from

its

relationship

with

the

In

considering

soft-

dollar

arrangements

pursuant

to

which

research

may

be

received

from

broker-dealers

that

execute

the

fund’s

portfolio

transactions,

the

Board

noted

that

the

Adviser

bears

the

cost

of

research

services

for

all

client

accounts

that

it

advises,

including

the

T.

The

Board

received

information

on

estimated

realized

While

the

did

not

review

information

regarding

profits

realized

from

in

particular

because

the

had

either

not

achieved

sufficient

recognized

The

Board

also

considered

whether

the

benefits

under

the

fee

levels

set

forth

in

the

Advisory

Contract

or

otherwise

from

any

economies

of

scale

realized

by

the

Adviser.

Under

the

Advisory

Contract,

the

fund

pays

a

fee

to

the

Adviser

for

investment

management

services

composed

of

two

components—a

group

fee

rate

based

on

the

combined

average

net

assets

of

most

of

the

T.

Rowe

Price

funds

(including

the

that

declines

at

certain

asset

levels

and

an

individual

fund

fee

rate

based

on

the

fund’s

average

daily

net

assets—and

the

fund

pays

its

own

expenses

of

operations.

Under

the

Adviser

may

pay

the

Subadviser

up

to

60%

of

that

the

receives

from

The

group

fee

rate

decreases

as

grow,

which

reduces

the

management

fee

rate

for

any

fund

that

has

a

group

management

fee,

and

reflects

that

certain

resources

utilized

to

operate

are

shared

thus

allowing

shareholders

of

those

funds

to

share

potential

economies

of

scale.

The

fund

is

also

subject

to

contractual

expense

limitations

that

require

the

Adviser

to

waive

its

fees

and/or

bear

any

expenses

that

would

otherwise

cause

the

expenses

of

certain

share

classes

of

the

fund

to

exceed

a

certain

percentage

based

on

the

class’s

net

assets.

The

expense

limitations

mitigate

the

potential

for

an

increase

in

operating

expenses

above

a

certain

level

that

could

impact

shareholders.

The

fund

also

offers

a

Z

Class,

which

serves

as

an

underlying

investment

within

certain

T.

Rowe

Price

fund

of

funds

arrangements.

The

Adviser

waives

its

advisory

fee

on

the

Z

Class

and

waives

or

bears

the

Z

Class’s

other

operating

expenses,

with

certain

exceptions.

The

Board

considered

whether

the

advisory

fee

and

operating

expense

waivers

on

the

Z

Class

may

present

a

means

for

cross-subsidization

of

the

Z

Class

by

other

share

classes

of

the

fund.

In

that

regard,

the

Board

noted

that

the

Z

Class

operating

expenses

are

largely

covered

by

the

all-inclusive

fees

charged

by

the

investing

T.

Rowe

Price

fund

of

funds

and

that

any

Z

Class

operating

expenses

not

covered

by

the

investing

T.

Rowe

Price

funds

of

funds’

fees

are

paid

by

the

Adviser

and

not

by

shareholders

of

any

other

share

class

of

the

fund.

In

addition,

the

Board

noted

that

the

fund

potentially

shares

in

indirect

economies

of

scale

through

the

Adviser’s

ongoing

investments

in

its

business

in

support

of

the

T.

Rowe

Price

funds,

including

investments

in

trading

systems,

technology,

and

regulatory

support

enhancements,

and

the

ability

to

possibly

negotiate

lower

fee

arrangements

with

third-

party

service

providers.

The

Board

concluded

that

the

advisory

fee

structure

for

the

fund

provides

for

a

reasonable

sharing

of

benefits

from

any

economies

of

scale

with

the

fund’s

investors.

Fees

and

Expenses

The

Board

was

provided

with

information

regarding

industry

trends

in

management

fees

and

expenses.

Among

other

things,

the

Board

reviewed

data

for

peer

groups

that

were

compiled

by

Broadridge,

which

compared:

(i)

contractual

management

fees,

actual

management

fees,

nonmanagement

expenses,

and

total

expenses

of

the

Investor

Class

of

the

fund

with

a

group

of

competitor

funds

selected

by

Broadridge

(Investor

Class

Expense

Group);

(ii)

actual

management

fees

and

total

expenses

of

the

Advisor

Class

of

the

fund

with

a

group

of

competitor

funds

selected

by

Broadridge

(Advisor

and

(iii)

actual

management

fees,

nonmanagement

expenses,

and

total

expenses

of

the

Investor

Class

of

the

fund

with

a

broader

set

of

funds

within

the

Lipper

investment

classification

(Expense

Universe).

The

Board

considered

the

fund’s

contractual

management

fee

rate,

actual

management

fee

rate

(which

reflects

the

management

fees

actually

received

from

the

fund

by

the

Adviser

after

any

applicable

waivers,

reductions,

or

reimbursements),

operating

expenses,

and

total

expenses

(which

reflect

the

net

total

expense

ratio

of

the

fund

after

any

waivers,

reductions,

or reimbursements)

in

comparison

with

the

information

for

the

Broadridge

peer

groups.

Broadridge

generally

constructed

the

peer

groups

by

seeking

the

most

comparable

funds

based

on

similar

investment

classifications

and

objectives,

expense

structure,

asset

size,

and

operating

components

and

attributes

and

ranked

funds

into

quintiles,

with

the

first

quintile

representing

the

funds

with

the

lowest

relative

expenses

and

the

fifth

quintile

representing

the

funds

with

the

highest

relative

expenses.

The

information

provided

to

the

Board

indicated

that

the

fund’s

contractual

management

fee

ranked

in

the

first

quintile

(Investor

Class

Expense

Group),

the

fund’s

actual

management

fee

rate

ranked

in

the

fourth

quintile

(Investor

Class

Expense

Group

and

Expense

Universe)

and

first

quintile

(Advisor

Group),

and

the

fund’s

total

expenses

ranked

in

the

first

quintile

(Investor

Class

Expense

Group,

Expense

Universe,

and

Advisor

Class

Expense

Group).

The

Board

also

reviewed

the

fee

schedules

for

other

investment

portfolios

with

similar

mandates

that

are

advised

or

subadvised

by

the

Adviser

and

its

affiliates,

including

separately

managed

accounts

for

institutional

and

individual

investors;

subadvised

funds;

and

other

sponsored

investment

portfolios,

including

collective

investment

trusts

and

pooled

vehicles

organized

and

offered

to

investors

outside

the

United

States.

Management

provided

the

Board

with

information

about

the

Adviser’s

responsibilities

and

services

provided

to

subadvisory

and

other

institutional

account

clients,

including

information

about

how

the

requirements

and

economics

of

the

institutional

business

are

fundamentally

different

from

those

of

the

proprietary

mutual

fund

business.

The

Board

considered

information

showing

that

the

Adviser’s

mutual

fund

business

is

generally

more

complex

from

a

business

and

compliance

perspective

than

its

institutional

account

business

and

considered

various

relevant

factors,

such

as

the

broader

scope

of

operations

and

oversight,

more

extensive

shareholder

communication

infrastructure,

greater

asset

flows,

heightened

business

risks,

and

differences

in

applicable

laws

and

regulations

associated

with

the

Adviser’s

proprietary

mutual

fund

business.

the

reasonableness

of

the

fund’s

management

fee

rate,

the

Board

considered

the

differences

in

the

nature

of

the

services

required

for

the

Adviser

to

manage

its

mutual

fund

business

versus

managing

a

discrete

pool

of

assets

as

a

subadviser

to

another

institution’s

mutual

fund

or

for

an

institutional

account

and

that

the

Adviser

generally

performs

significant

additional

services

and

assumes

greater

risk

in

managing

the

fund

and

other

T.

Rowe

Price

funds

than

it

does

for

institutional

account

clients,

including

subadvised

funds.

On

the

basis

of

the

information

provided

and

the

factors

considered,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

fees

paid

by

the

fund

under

the

Advisory

Contract

are

reasonable.

Approval

of

Advisory

Contract

Subadvisory

Contract

As

noted,

the

Board

approved

the

continuation

of

the

Advisory

Contract

No

single

factor

was

considered

in

isolation

or

to

be

determinative

to

the

decision.

Rather,

the

Board

concluded,

in

light

of

a

weighting

and

balancing

of

all

factors

considered,

that

it

was

in

the

best

interests

of

the

fund

and

its

shareholders

for

the

Board

to

approve

the

continuation

of

thereunder).
