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
and
perspectives
from
our
investment
team
on
our
personal
investing

Thank
you

your
continued

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
three
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,
and
I
Class
shares
are
available
to
institutionally
oriented
clients
and
impose
no
12b-1
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.

International
Funds,
Inc.
(the
corporation) is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
1940
Act).
The
Global
High
Income
Bond
Fund
(the
fund)
is a
diversified, open-end
management
investment
company
established
by
the
corporation. The
fund
seeks
high
income
and,
secondarily,
capital
appreciation.
The
fund
has
three classes
of
shares:
the
Global
High
Income
Bond
Fund
(Investor
Class),
the
Global
High
Income
Bond
Fund–Advisor
Class
(Advisor
Class)
and
the
Global
High
Income
Bond
Fund–I
Class
(I
Class).
Advisor
Class
shares
are
sold
only
through
various
brokers
and
other
financial
intermediaries.
I
Class
shares
require
a
$500,000
initial
investment
minimum,
although
the
minimum
generally
is
waived
or
reduced
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
certain
other
accounts.
The
Advisor
Class
operates
under
a
Board-approved
Rule
12b-1
plan
pursuant
to
which
the
class
compensates
financial
intermediaries
for
distribution,
shareholder
servicing,
and/
or
certain
administrative
services;
the
Investor
and
I
Classes
do
not
pay
Rule
12b-1
fees. Each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
related
solely
to
that
class;
separate
voting
rights
on
matters
that
relate
to
all classes;
and,
in
all
other
respects,
the
same
rights
and
obligations
as
the
other
classes.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES 
Basis
of
Preparation
 The fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946
(ASC
946).
The
accompanying
financial
statements
were
prepared
in
accordance
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
financial
statements
may
differ
from
the
value
ultimately
realized
upon
sale
or
maturity.
Investment
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
and
Distributions
 Investment
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
the
trade
date
basis.
Income
and
expenses
are
recorded
on
the
accrual
basis.
Realized
gains
and
losses
are
reported
on
the
identified
cost
basis.
Premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities
are
amortized
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Income
tax-related
interest
and
penalties,
if
incurred,
are
recorded
as
income
tax
expense.
Dividends
received
from other
investment
companies are
reflected
as
dividend
income;
capital
gain
distributions
are
reflected
as
realized
gain/
loss.
Dividend
income and
capital
gain
distributions
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
T.
ROWE
PRICE

Fund
35
date.
Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
at
the
fair
market
value
of
the
asset
received.
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Income
distributions,
if
any, are
declared
by
each
class daily
and
paid
monthly.
A
capital
gain
distribution,
if
any, may
also
be
declared
and
paid
by
the
fund
annually.
Currency
Translation
 Assets,
including
investments,
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollar
values
each
day
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate,
using
the
mean
of
the
bid
and
asked
prices
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
as
provided
by
an
outside
pricing
service.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income,
and
expenses
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate
on
the
respective
date
of
such
transaction.
The
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
on
realized
and
unrealized
security
gains
and
losses
is
not
bifurcated
from
the
portion
attributable
to
changes
in
market
prices.
Class
Accounting
 Shareholder
servicing,
prospectus,
and
shareholder
report
expenses
incurred
by
each
class
are
charged
directly
to
the
class
to
which
they
relate.
Expenses
common
to
all
classes
and
investment
income
are
allocated
to
the
classes
based
upon
the
relative
daily
net
assets
of
each
class’s
settled
shares;
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
based
upon
the
relative
daily
net
assets
of
each
class’s
outstanding
shares.
The
Advisor
Class
pays
Rule
12b-1
fees,
in
an
amount
not
exceeding
0.25%
of
the
class’s
average
daily
net
assets;
during
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2023,
the
Advisor
Class
incurred
less
than
$1,000
in
these
fees.
Capital
Transactions
 Each
investor’s
interest
in
the
net
assets
of the
fund
is
represented
by
fund
shares. The
fund’s
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
is
computed
at
the
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
normally
4
p.m.
ET,
each
day
the
NYSE
is
open
for
business.
However,
the
NAV
per
share
may
be
calculated
at
a
time
other
than
the
normal
close
of
the
NYSE
if
trading
on
the
NYSE
is
restricted,
if
the
NYSE
closes
earlier,
or
as
may
be
permitted
by
the
SEC.
Purchases
and
redemptions
of
fund
shares
are
transacted
at
the
next-computed
NAV
per
share,
after
receipt
of
the
transaction
order
by
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.,
or
its
agents.

Subject

Contractual

Restrictions,
which
clarifies
that
a

restriction
on
the
sale
of
an

is
not
considered
part
of

and,
therefore,
is
not
considered
in
measuring

The
amendments
under
this
ASU
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023;
however,
the
fund
opted
to
early

as

effective
December

of

impact
on

Indemnification
 In

of
business, the
fund
may
provide
indemnification
in
connection
with
its
officers
and
directors,
service
providers,

-
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
quoted
prices
that
are
observable,
either
directly
or
indirectly
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
T.

Global

instruments
in
active

quoted

for
identical
or
similar
financial
instruments
in
inactive
markets,
interest
rates
and
yield
curves,
implied
volatilities,
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

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
dealers
who
make
markets
in
such
securities.   
Investments
in
mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
mutual
fund’s
closing
NAV
per
share
on
the
day
of
valuation.
Forward
currency
exchange
contracts
are
valued
using
the
prevailing
forward
exchange
rate.
Assets
and
liabilities
other
than
financial
instruments,
including
short-term
receivables
and
payables,
are
carried
at
cost,
or
estimated
realizable
value,
if
less,
which
approximates
fair
value. 
Investments
for
which
market
quotations are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
the
Valuation
Designee.
The
Valuation
Designee
has
adopted
methodologies
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable,
including
the
use
of
other
pricing
sources.
Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
vary
by
type
of
investment
and
may
include
market
or
investment
specific
considerations.
The
Valuation
Designee typically
will
afford
greatest
weight
to
actual
prices
in
arm’s
length
transactions,
to
the
extent
they
represent
orderly
transactions
between
market
participants,
transaction
information
can
be
reliably
obtained,
and
prices
are
deemed

representative
of
fair
value.
However,
the
Valuation
Designee may
also
consider
other
valuation
methods
such
as
market-based
valuation
multiples;
a
discount
or
premium
from
market
value
of
a
similar,
freely
traded
security
of
the
same
issuer;
discounted
cash
flows;
yield
to
maturity;
or
some
combination.
Fair
value
determinations
are
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis.
Because
any
fair
value
determination
involves
a
significant
amount
of
judgment,
there
is
a
degree
of
subjectivity
inherent
in
such
pricing
decisions. Fair
value
prices
determined
by
the
Valuation
Designee could
differ
from
those
of
other
market
participants,
and
it
is
possible
that
the
fair
value
determined
for
a
security
may
be
materially
different
from
the
value
that
could
be
realized
upon
the
sale
of
that
security.

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
30,
2023,

Counterparty
Risk
and
Collateral
 The
fund
invests
in
derivatives,
such
as
non-cleared
bilateral
swaps,
forward
currency
exchange
contracts,
and/or
OTC
options,
that
are
transacted
and
settle
directly
with
a
counterparty
(bilateral
derivatives),
and
thereby
may
expose
the
fund
to
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
govern
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
determined.
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
each
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
from
withdrawal
by
the
fund;
securities
posted
by
the
fund
are
so
noted
in
the
accompanying
Portfolio
of
Investments;
both
remain
in
the
fund’s
assets.
Collateral
pledged
by
counterparties
is
not
included
in
the
fund’s
assets
because
the
fund
does
not
obtain
effective
control
over
those
assets.
For
bilateral
derivatives,
collateral
posted
or
received
by
the
fund
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
at
the
fund’s
custodian.
While
typically
not
sold
in
the
same
manner
as
equity
or
fixed
income
securities,
OTC
and
bilateral
derivatives
may
be
unwound
with
counterparties
or
transactions
assigned
to
other
counterparties
to
allow
the
fund
to
exit
the
transaction.
This
ability

2023,
cash of
$1,390,000
had
been
posted
by
the

to
counterparties
for

no

Forward
Currency
Exchange
Contracts
 The
fund
is
subject
to
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk
in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives.
It may use
forward
currency
exchange
contracts
(forwards)
primarily
to
protect
its
non-U.S.
dollar-
denominated
securities
from
adverse
currency
movements
or
to
increase
exposure
to
a
particular
foreign
currency,
to
shift
the
fund’s
foreign
currency
exposure
from
one
country
to
another,
or
to
enhance
the
fund’s
return.
A
forward
involves
an
obligation
to
purchase
or
sell
a
fixed
amount
of
a
specific
currency
on
a
future
date
at
a
price
set
at
the
time
of
the
contract.
Although
certain
forwards
may
be
settled
by
exchanging
only
the
net
gain
or
loss
on
the
contract,
most
forwards
are
settled
with
the
exchange
of
the
underlying
currencies
in
accordance
with
the
specified
terms.
Forwards
are
valued
at
the
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on
the
contract,
which
reflects
the
net
amount
the
fund
either
is
entitled
to
receive
or
obligated
to
deliver,
as
measured
by
the
difference
between
the
forward
exchange
rates
at
the
date
of
entry
into
the
contract
and
the
forward
rates
at
the
reporting
date.
Appreciated
forwards
are
reflected
as
assets
and
depreciated
forwards
are
reflected
as
liabilities
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
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
between
26%
and
28%
of
net
assets.
Swaps
 The
fund
is
subject
to
credit
risk in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives
and
uses
swap
contracts
to
help
manage
such
risk.
The
fund
may
use
swaps
in
an
effort
to
manage
both
long
and
short
exposure
to
changes
in
interest
rates,
inflation
rates,
and
credit
quality;
to
adjust
overall
exposure
to
certain
markets;
to
enhance
total
return
or
protect
the
value
of
portfolio
securities;
to
serve
as
a
cash
management
tool;
or
to
adjust
portfolio
duration
and
credit
exposure.
Swap
agreements
can
be
settled
either
directly
with
the
counterparty
(bilateral
swap)
or
through
a
central
clearinghouse
(centrally
cleared
swap).
Fluctuations
in
the
fair
value
of
a
contract
are
reflected
in
unrealized
gain
or
loss
and
are
reclassified
to
realized
gain
or
loss
upon
contract
termination
or
cash
settlement.
Net
periodic
receipts
or
payments
required
by
a

increase
or
decrease,
respectively,
the

contract
until
the
contractual

date,
at
which
time
such
amounts
are
reclassified
from
unrealized
to

or

For

and

on
the

Statement
of

For
bilateral
swaps,
premiums
paid
or

are
amortized
over
the
life
of
the
swap
and
are
recognized
as
realized

in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
For
centrally
cleared
swaps,
payments
are
made
or
received
by
the
fund
each
day
to
settle
the
daily
fluctuation
in
the
value
of
the
contract
(variation
margin).
Accordingly,
the
value
of
a
centrally
cleared
swap
included
in
net
assets
is
the
unsettled
variation
margin;
net
variation
margin
receivable
is
reflected
as
an
asset
and
net
variation
margin
payable
is
reflected
as
a

on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Credit
default
swaps
are
agreements
where
one
party
(the
protection
buyer)
agrees
to
make
periodic
payments
to
another
party
(the
protection
seller)
in
exchange
for
protection
against
specified
credit
events,
such
as
certain
defaults
and
bankruptcies
related
to
an
underlying
credit
instrument,
or
issuer
or
index
of
such
instruments.
Upon
occurrence
of
a
specified
credit
event,
the
protection
seller
is
required
to
pay
the
buyer
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
the
value
of
the
underlying
credit,
either
in
the
form
of
a
net
cash
settlement
or
by
paying
the
gross
notional
amount
and
accepting
delivery
of
the
relevant
underlying
credit.
For
credit
default
swaps
where
the
underlying
credit
is
an
index,
a
specified
credit
event
may
affect
all
or
individual
underlying
securities
included
in
the
index
and
will
be
settled
based
upon
the
relative
weighting
of
the
affected
underlying
security(ies)
within
the
index. Risks
related
to
the
use
of
credit
default
swaps
include
the
possible
inability
of
the
fund
to
accurately
assess
the
current
and
future
creditworthiness
of
underlying
issuers,
the
possible
failure
of
a
counterparty
to
perform
in
accordance
with
the
terms
of
the
swap
agreements,
potential
government
regulation
that
could
adversely
affect
the
fund’s
swap
investments,
and
potential
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
swaps,
based
on
underlying
notional
amounts,
was
generally
less
than
1%
of
net
assets.

its
investment
objective,
the
fund
engages
in
the
following
practices
to
manage
exposure
to
certain
risks
and/or
to
enhance
performance.
The
investment
objective,
policies,
program,
and
risk
factors
of
the
fund
are
described
more
fully
in
the
fund's
prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
Emerging
and
Frontier
Markets
 The fund
invests,
either
directly
or
through
investments
in
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
in
securities
of
companies
located
in,
issued
by
governments
of,
or
denominated
in
or
linked
to
the
currencies
of
emerging
T.

and
frontier
market
countries.
Emerging
markets,
and
to
a
greater
extent
frontier
markets, tend
to
have
economic
structures
that
are
less
diverse
and
mature,
less
developed
legal
and
regulatory
regimes,
and
political
systems
that
are
less
stable,
than
those
of
developed
countries.
These
markets
may
be
subject
to
greater
political,
economic,
and
social
uncertainty
and
differing
accounting
standards
and
regulatory
environments
that
may
potentially
impact
the
fund’s
ability
to
buy
or
sell
certain
securities
or
repatriate
proceeds
to
U.S.
dollars.
Emerging
markets
securities
exchanges
are
more
likely
to
experience
delays
with
the
clearing
and
settling
of
trades,
as
well
as
the
custody
of
holdings
by
local
banks,
agents,
and
depositories.
Such
securities
are
often
subject
to
greater
price
volatility,
less
liquidity,
and
higher
rates
of
inflation
than
U.S.
securities.
Investing
in
frontier
markets
is
typically
significantly
riskier
than
investing
in
other
countries,
including
emerging
markets.
Noninvestment-Grade
Debt
 The
fund
invests,
either
directly
or
through
its
investment
in
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
in
noninvestment-grade
debt,
including
“high
yield”
or
“junk”
bonds
or
leveraged
loans.
Noninvestment-grade
debt
issuers
are
more
likely
to
suffer
an
adverse
change
in
financial
condition
that
would
result
in
the
inability
to
meet
a
financial
obligation.
The
noninvestment-grade
debt
market
may
experience
sudden
and
sharp
price
swings
due
to
a
variety
of
factors
that
may
decrease
the
ability
of
issuers
to
make
principal
and
interest
payments
and
adversely
affect
the
liquidity
or
value,
or
both,
of
such
securities.
Accordingly,
securities
issued
by
such
companies
carry
a
higher
risk
of
default
and
should
be
considered
speculative. 
Restricted
Securities
 The
fund
invests
in
securities
that
are
subject
to
legal
or
contractual
restrictions
on
resale.
Prompt
sale
of
such
securities
at
an
acceptable
price
may
be
difficult
and
may
involve
substantial
delays
and
additional
costs.
Bank
Loans
 The
fund
invests
in
bank
loans,
which
represent
an
interest
in
amounts
owed
by
a
borrower
to
a
syndicate
of
lenders.
Bank
loans
are
generally
noninvestment
grade
and
often
involve
borrowers
whose
financial
condition
is
highly
leveraged.
The
fund
may
invest
in
fixed
and
floating
rate
loans,
which
may
include
senior
floating
rate
loans;
secured
and
unsecured
loans,
second
lien
or
more
junior
loans;
and
bridge
loans
or
bridge
facilities.
Certain
bank
loans
may
be
revolvers
which
are
a
form
of
senior
bank
debt,
where
the
borrower
can
draw
down
the
credit
of
the
revolver
when
it
needs
cash
and
repays
the
credit
when
the
borrower
has
excess
cash.
Certain
loans
may
be
“covenant-lite”
loans,
which
means
the
loans
contain
fewer
maintenance
covenants
than
other
loans
(in
some
cases,
none)
and
do
not
include
terms
which
allow
the
lender
to
monitor
the
performance
of
the
borrower
and
declare
a
default
if
certain
criteria
are
breached.
As
a
result
of
these
risks,
the
fund’s
exposure
to
losses
may
be
increased.
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
High
Income
Bond
Fund
45
Bank
loans
may
be
in
the
form
of
either
assignments
or
participations.
A
loan
assignment
transfers
all
legal,
beneficial,
and
economic
rights
to
the
buyer,
and
transfer
typically
requires
consent
of
both
the
borrower
and
agent.
In
contrast,
a
loan
participation
generally
entitles
the
buyer
to
receive
the
cash
flows
from
principal,
interest,
and
any
fee
payments
on
a
portion
of
a
loan;
however,
the
seller
continues
to
hold
legal
title
to
that
portion
of
the
loan.
As
a
result,
the
buyer
of
a
loan
participation
generally
has
no
direct
recourse
against
the
borrower
and
is
exposed
to
credit
risk
of
both
the
borrower
and
seller
of
the
participation.
Bank
loans
often
have
extended
settlement
periods,
generally
may
be
repaid
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
borrower,
and
may
require
additional
principal
to
be
funded
at
the
borrowers’
discretion
at
a
later
date
(e.g.
unfunded
commitments
and
revolving
debt
instruments).
Until
settlement,
the
fund
maintains
liquid
assets
sufficient
to
settle
its
unfunded
loan
commitments.
The
fund
reflects
both
the
funded
portion
of
a
bank
loan
as
well
as
its
unfunded
commitment
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments.
However,
if
a
credit
agreement
provides
no
initial
funding
of
a
tranche,
and
funding
of
the
full
commitment
at
a
future
date(s)
is
at
the
borrower’s
discretion
and
considered
uncertain,
a
loan
is
reflected
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
only
if,
and
only
to
the
extent
that,
the
fund
has
actually
settled
a
funding
commitment.
Other 
Purchases
and
sales
of
portfolio
securities
other
than
short-term securities
aggregated $98,130,000 and
$66,448,000,

FEDERAL
INCOME
TAXES
Generally,
no
provision
for
federal
income
taxes
is
required
since
the
fund
intends
to
continue
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
and
distribute
to
shareholders
all
of
its
taxable
income
and
gains.
Distributions
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations
may
differ
in
amount
or
character
from
net
investment
income
and
realized
gains
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Financial
reporting
records
are
adjusted
for
permanent
book/

differences
to
reflect
tax
character
but
are
not

for
temporary
differences.
The
amount
and

of
tax-basis
distributions
and
composition
of

are
finalized
at
fiscal
year-end;
accordingly,

RELATED
PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
The
fund
is
managed
by
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Price
Associates),
a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
T.
Rowe
Price
Group,
Inc.
(Price
Group). Price
Associates
has
entered
into
a
sub-advisory
agreement(s)
with
one
or
more
of
its
wholly
owned
subsidiaries,
to
provide
investment
advisory
services
to
the
fund.
The
investment
management
agreement
between
the
fund
and
Price
Associates
provides
for
an
annual
investment
management
fee,
which
is
computed
daily
and
paid
monthly. The
fee
consists
of
an
individual
fund
fee,
equal
to
0.27%
of
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets,
and
a
group
fee.
The
group
fee
rate
is
calculated
based
on
the
combined
net
assets
of
certain
mutual
funds
sponsored
by
Price
Associates
(the
group)
applied
to
a
graduated
fee
schedule,
with
rates
ranging
from
0.48%
for
the
first
$1
billion
of
assets
to
0.260%
for
assets
in
excess
of
$845
billion.
The
fund’s
group
fee
is
determined
by
applying
the
group
fee
rate
to
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets. At
June
30,
2023,
the
effective
annual
group
fee
rate
was
0.29%.
The Investor Class

APPROVAL
OF
INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT
AND
SUBADVISORY
AGREEMENTS
Each
year,
the
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
considers
the
continuation
of
the
investment
management
agreement
(Advisory
Contract)
between
the
fund
and
its
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
as
well
as
the
investment
subadvisory
agreements
(Subadvisory
Contracts)
that
the
Adviser
has
entered
into
with
T.
Rowe
Price
International
Ltd
and
T.
Rowe
Price
Hong
Kong
Limited
(Subadvisers)
on
behalf
of
the
fund.
In
that
regard,
at
a
meeting
held
on
March
6–7,
2023
(Meeting),
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
fund’s
independent
directors,
approved
the
continuation
of
the
fund’s
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contracts.
At
the
Meeting,
the
Board
considered
the
factors
and
reached
the
conclusions
described
below
relating
to
the
selection
of
the
Adviser
and
Subadvisers
and
the
approval
of
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contracts.
The
independent
directors
were
assisted
in
their
evaluation
of
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contracts
by
independent
legal
counsel
from
whom
they
received
separate
legal
advice
and
with
whom
they
met
separately.
In
providing
information
to
the
Board,
the
Adviser
was
guided
by
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
by
independent
legal
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
independent
directors.
In
considering
and
approving
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contracts,
the
Board
considered
the
information
it
believed
was
relevant,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
information
discussed
below.
The
Board
considered
not
only
the
specific
information
presented
in
connection
with
the
Meeting
but
also
the
knowledge
gained
over
time
through
interaction
with
the
Adviser
and
Subadvisers
about
various
topics.
The
Board
meets
regularly
and,
at
each
of
its
meetings,
covers
an
extensive
agenda
of
topics
and
materials
and
considers
factors
that
are
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
advisory
contracts,
including
performance
and
the
services
and
support
provided
to
the
funds
and
their
shareholders.
Services
Provided
by
the
Adviser
and
Subadvisers
The
Board
considered
the
nature,
quality,
and
extent
of
the
services
provided
to
the
fund
by
the
Adviser
and
Subadvisers.
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
fund’s
portfolio,
as
well
as
a
variety
of
related
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
Subadvisers’
senior
management
teams
and
investment
personnel
involved
in
the
management
of
the
fund,
as
well
as
the
Adviser’s
compliance
record.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
information
it
considered
with
respect
to
the
nature,
quality,
and
extent
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
and
Subadvisers,
as
well
as
the
other
factors
considered
at
the
Meeting,
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contracts.

Investment
Performance
of
the
Fund
The
Board
took
into
account
discussions
with
the
Adviser
and
detailed
reports
that
it
regularly
receives
throughout
the
year
on
relative
and
absolute
performance
for
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
In
connection
with
the
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
that
compared
the
fund’s
total
returns,
as
well
as
a
wide
variety
of
other
previously
agreed-upon
performance
measures
and
market
data,
against
relevant
benchmark
indexes
and
peer
groups
of
funds
with
similar
investment
programs
for
various
periods
through
December
31,
2022. Additionally,
the
Board
reviewed
the
fund’s
relative
performance
information
as
of
September
30,
2022,
which
ranked
the
returns
of
the
fund’s
Investor
Class
for
various
periods
against
a
universe
of
funds
with
similar
investment
programs
selected
by
Broadridge,
an
independent
provider
of
mutual
fund
data.
In
the
course
of
its
deliberations,
the
Board
considered
performance
information
provided
throughout
the
year
and
in
connection
with
the
Advisory
Contract
review
at
the
Meeting,
as
well
as
information
provided
during
investment
review
meetings
conducted
with
portfolio
managers
and
senior
investment
personnel
during
the
course
of
the
year
regarding
the
fund’s
performance.
The
Board
also
considered
relevant
factors,
such
as
overall
market
conditions
and
trends
that
could
adversely
impact
the
fund’s
performance,
length
of
the
fund’s
performance
track
record,
and
how
closely
the
fund’s
strategies
align
with
its
benchmarks
and
peer
groups.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
information
it
considered
with
respect
to
the
fund’s
performance,
as
well
as
the
other
factors
considered
at
the
Meeting,
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contracts.
Costs,
Benefits,
Profits,
and
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
detailed
information
regarding
the
revenues
received
by
the
Adviser
under
the
Advisory
Contract
and
other
direct
and
indirect
benefits
that
the
Adviser
(and
its
affiliates)
may
have
realized
from
its
relationship
with
the
fund.
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.
Rowe
Price
funds.
The
Board
received
information
on
the
estimated
costs
incurred
and
profits
realized
by
the
Adviser
from
managing
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
While
the
Board
did
not
review
information
regarding
profits
realized
from
managing
the
fund
in
particular
because
the
fund
had
either
not
achieved
sufficient
portfolio
asset
size
or
not
recognized
sufficient
revenues
to
produce
meaningful
profit
margin
percentages,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
Adviser’s
profits
were
reasonable
in
light
of
the
services
provided
to
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.

The
Board
also
considered
whether
the
fund
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
fund)
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
each
Subadvisory
Contract,
the
Adviser
may
pay
the
Subadviser
up
to
60%
of
the
advisory
fees
that
the
Adviser
receives
from
the
fund.
The
group
fee
rate
decreases
as
total
T.
Rowe
Price
fund
assets
grow,
which
reduces
the
management
fee
rate
for
any
fund
that
has
a
group
fee
component
to
its
management
fee,
and
reflects
that
certain
resources
utilized
to
operate
the
fund
are
shared
with
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds
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
cause
the
expenses
of
a
share
class
of
the
fund
to
exceed
a
certain
percentage
based
on
the
class’s
net
assets.
The
expense
limitations
mitigate
the
potential
for
relatively
higher
expenses
until
the
fund
achieves
greater
scale
and
protect
against
an
increase
in
operating
expenses
above
a
certain
level
that
could
impact
shareholders.
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
Class

Group);
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

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
first
quintile
(Investor
Class
Expense
Group,
Advisor
Class
Expense
Group,
and
Expense
Universe),
and
the
fund’s
total
expenses
ranked
in
the
third
quintile
(Investor
Class
Expense
Group
and
Expense
Universe)
and
first
quintile
(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.
In
assessing
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.
