HIGHLIGHTS
The
Emerging

Discovery
Stock
Fund
outperformed
the
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
Index
Net
in
the
12
months
ended
October
31,
2023.
Stock
selection
in
financials
and
materials
significantly
contributed
to
the
fund’s
outperformance.
In
contrast,
our
stock
choices
in
the
energy
sector
detracted.
We
maintained
our
focus
on
finding
undervalued,
“forgotten”
stocks
with
self-help
stories
and
distinctive
growth
drivers
and
that
have
strong
appreciation
potential.
We
are
constructive
toward
emerging
markets
for
their
long-term
outperformance
potential
over
their
developed
market
counterparts.
We
think
that
emerging
markets
will
benefit
from
substantially
higher
levels
of
capital
expenditure
needed
for
the
rebuilding
of
supply
chains
and
the
transition
to
green
energy.

Commentary

Dear
Shareholder
Most
major
global
stock
and
bond
indexes
produced
positive
results
during
your
fund’s
fiscal
year,
the
12-month
period
ended
October
31,
2023,
although
a
downturn
over
the
past
six
months
offset
some
of
the
strong
gains
recorded
in
the
first
half
of
the
period.
Global
economies
managed
to
avoid
the
recession
that
was
widely
predicted
at
the
start
of
2023,
but
signs
that
central
banks
might
need
to
keep
interest
rates
higher
for
longer
than
previously
expected
weighed
on
market
sentiment.
Growth
stocks
outperformed
value
shares
over
the
12-month
period,
and
stocks
in
developed
markets
generally
outpaced
their
counterparts
in
emerging
markets.
Currency
movements
were
mixed
over
the
period,
although
a
weaker
dollar
versus
major
European
currencies
was
beneficial
for
U.S.
investors
in
European
securities.
Technology
companies
benefited
from
investor
enthusiasm
for
artificial
intelligence
developments
and
produced
some
of
the
strongest
results
in
the
equity
market.
Within
the
S&P
500
Index,
the
communication
services
and
information
technology
sectors
were
lifted
by
the
rally
in
tech-related
companies
and
recorded
significant
gains.
The
financials
sector
partly
recovered
from
the
failure
of
three
large
regional
banks
during
the
period
but
still
finished
in
negative
territory.
Corporate
fundamentals
were
broadly
supportive.
Although
year-over-year
earnings
growth
contracted
in
the
first
and
second
quarters
of
2023,
results
were
better
than
expected,
and
preliminary
estimates
pointed
to
a
resumption
of
growth
in
the
third
quarter.
The
U.S.
economy
was
the
strongest
among
the
major
markets
during
the
period,
with
gross
domestic
product
growth
coming
in
at
4.9%
in
the
third
quarter’s
initial
estimate,
the
highest
since
the
end
of
2021.
Growth
in
Europe
and
Japan
was
more
sluggish,
and
China’s
economy
was
beset
by
worries
about
its
property
sector
after
an
initial
boost
from
its
decision
at
the
end
of
2022
to
lift
most
of
its
pandemic-related
restrictions.
A
protracted
debt
ceiling
standoff
in
the
U.S.,
the
ongoing
conflict
between
Ukraine
and
Russia,
and
the
outbreak
of
war
in
the
Middle
East
following
the
attack
on
Israel
by
Hamas
produced
headwinds
for
markets
at
various
times.
Investors
also
remained
focused
on
inflation
as
price
increases
moderated
but
remained
well
above
the
Federal
Reserve’s
2%
target.
In
response,
the
Fed
continued
to
raise
its
short-term
lending
benchmark
rate,
lifting
it
to
a
target
range
of
5.25%
to
5.50%
by
the
end
of
July,
the
highest
level
since
March
2001.

U.S.
Treasury
yields
increased
as
the
Fed
tightened
monetary
policy
and
investors
priced
in
the
possibility
that
the
central
bank
may
have
to
keep
rates
higher
for
longer
than
previously
anticipated.
In
addition,
Treasuries
were
pressured
by
Fitch
Ratings’
decision
to
downgrade
the
credit
rating
of
U.S.
government
debt
from
the
highest
level,
AAA,
to
AA+
along
with
expectations
for
higher
levels
of
borrowing
by
the
Treasury
Department.
The
yield
on
the
benchmark
10-year
Treasury
note
briefly
reached
5.00%
in
October
for
the
first
time
since
late
2007
before
falling
back
to
4.88%
by
period-end.
Increasing
yields
over
the
past
six
months
led
to
weak
results
across
most
of
the
fixed
income
market,
although
high
yield
bonds,
which
are
less
sensitive
to
rising
rates,
held
up
relatively
well
as
default
rates
remained
low
by
historical
standards.
Global
economies
and
markets
showed
surprising
resilience
in
2023,
but
considerable
uncertainty
remains
as
we
look
ahead
to
2024.
Geopolitical
events,
the
path
of
monetary
policy,
and
the
impact
of
the
Fed’s
rate
hikes
on
the
economy
all
raise
the
potential
for
additional
volatility.
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
have
the
potential
to add
value
to
your
portfolio
over
the
long
term.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
confidence
in

FUND
COMMENTARY
How
did
the
fund
perform
in
the
past 12
months?
The
Emerging
Markets
Discovery
Stock
Fund
returned
12.61%
in
the
12
months
ended
October
31,
2023.
The
fund
outperformed
the
MSCI
Emerging

Index
Net,
which
returned
10.80%.
(Returns

I,

Z
Class
shares

to
their
different
fee
structures.
Past
performance

guarantee
future
results
.)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
The
financials
sector
significantly
contributed
to
the
fund
due
to
our
stock
selection.
Our
position
in
Powszechny
Zaklad
Ubezpieczen,
a
Polish
state-run
insurer,
helped
as
shares
advanced
in
a
post-parliamentary
election
rally
in
Poland.
The
market
expects
that
the
election
victory
by
three
pro-
European
Union
parties
will
lead
to
Poland
improving
troubled
relations
with
the
European
Union.
Our
holding
in
OTP
Bank,
a
lender
in
Hungary
with
a
dominant
retail
franchise,
lifted
relative
returns
following
strong
second-
quarter
results
and
a
positive
earnings
outlook.
Shriram
Finance,
an
Indian
provider
of
used
commercial
vehicle
financing,
aided
fund
performance
as
its
shares
rose
on
consensus-beating
results
and
robust
commercial
vehicle
demand
as
India’s
economy
grew
rapidly
over
the
year.

Stock
selection
in
materials
added
value.
Our
position
in
Switzerland-based
building
materials
maker
Holcim
was
beneficial.
The
company
delivered
solid
second-quarter
results
as
margins
expanded
to
record
levels.
Consumer
discretionary
contributed
to
relative
performance
due
to
our
stock
choices.
Owning
shares
of
Trip.com,
the
dominant
online
travel
agency
in
China
in
terms
of
market
share,
worked
well
following
its
strong
growth
outlook
in
the
third
quarter.
Turning
to
detractors,
our
stock
selection
in
the
energy
sector
detracted
the
most
from
relative
performance.
In
particular,
China
Oilfield
Services
(COSL),
one
of
the
country’s
biggest
oil
services
companies,
weighed
on
relative
returns
as
investors
pocketed
recent
share
gains
and
oil
prices
retreated
in
October.
We
view
COSL
as
levered
to
an
increase
in
oil
and
gas
capital
expenditures
outside
of
China.
Health
care
dragged
fund
performance
due
to
regulatory
headwinds
in
China
after
the
government
launched
an
anticorruption
campaign
amid
public
frustration
over
high
health
care
costs.
Shandong
Weigao
Group
Medical
Polymer,
which
makes
consumable
medical
products,
detracted
due
to
worries
about
the
impact
of
the
antigraft
movement.
We
view
the
company,
with
its
low-cost
and
essential
products,
as
less
sensitive
to
this
regulatory
phase
and
a
beneficiary
of
China’s
rising
health
care
spending
in
the
long
term.
How
is
the
fund
positioned?
Our
portfolio
invests
in
“forgotten”
or
underappreciated
stocks
that
our
research
shows
have
asymmetrical
risk
and
reward
characteristics.
Our
holdings
are
stocks
with
limited
potential
downside
yet
have
strong
potential
for
fundamental
improvements
that
could
lead
to
outperformance
over
time.
Our
portfolio
positioning
is
driven
by
bottom-up
stock
selection,
and
we
typically
do
not
make
large
country
bets.
China
was
our
biggest
absolute
country
allocation
at
fiscal
year-end.
We
continued
to
invest
in
names
with
“self-help”
potential
that
could
improve
their
earnings
prospects,
or
those
with
restructuring
plans
that
may
enable
them
to
outperform.
We
bought
more
shares
of
Alibaba
Group
Holding,
which
operates
one
of
the
largest
e-commerce
platforms
in
China.
The
company’s
first-quarter
results
beat
market
expectations
following
its
restructuring
and
showed
its
market
share
loss
has
been
significantly
narrowed.
We
look
favorably
at
the
firm’s
intent
to
bring
its
core
business
back
to
growth
and
the
normalization
of
regulation
following
a
crackdown
on
China’s
internet
sector.

We
initiated
a
position
in
Focus
Media
Information,
a
dominant
elevator
advertising
company
in
China,
which
we
believe
will
gain
from
a
cyclical
advertising
spending
recovery.
We
purchased
shares
of
China
Pacific
Insurance,
an
out-of-favor
name
that
we
believe
will
benefit
as
the
ongoing
property
downturn
in
China
encourages
people
to
invest
their
household
savings
into
insurance
plans.
The
company
has
substantially
reduced
its
agency
force
and
upgraded
its
distribution
capability,
which
should
help
its
business.
From

sector
viewpoint,

was
our
biggest
allocation.
We
own
banks
with
well-capitalized
and
low-risk
balance
sheets
as
well
as
improved
asset
quality.
We
own
shares
of
CIMB
Group
Holdings,
a
Malaysia-based
financial
services
company
focused
on
Southeast
Asia,
which
we
believe
will
benefit
from
cost
cuts
and
improving
asset
quality.
We
bought
shares
of
Banco
Bradesco,
one
of
Brazil’s
largest
private
banks,
for
its
improving
credit
quality
and
earnings.
Materials
saw
the
biggest
increase
in
relative
weight
during
the
period
as
we
saw
compelling
opportunities
in
copper
miners,
iron
ore
producers,
and
petrochemical
manufacturers.
We
initiated
a
position
in
Kumba
Iron
Ore,
a
South
African
iron
ore
producer
with
a
net
cash
position
and
an
attractive
dividend
yield.
We
also
bought
shares
of
Saudi
Basic
Industries,
one
of
the
world’s
largest
petrochemical
makers,
which
we
think
will
benefit
from
rising
global
chemical
prices
as
China’s
recovery
picks
up.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
We
are
constructive
toward
emerging
markets,
which
we
believe
will
grow
faster
than
their
developed
market
counterparts.
We
are
open-minded
about
opportunities
in
our
investment
universe
and
continue
to
dig
deeper
to
find
“forgotten”
stocks
with
promising
prospects.

We
believe
that
capital
spending
in
emerging
markets
will
substantially
increase
in
response
to
the
capacity
requirements
needed
to
achieve
the
decarbonization
of
industries
and
the
impact
of
deglobalization.
The
rebuilding
of
supply
chains
and
transition
to
green
energy
could
benefit
companies
in
the
financials
and
industrials
sectors.
In
China,
economic
indicators
have
lately
revealed
tentative
signs
of
stabilization,
and
we
view
Beijing’s
recent
stimulus
efforts
as
a
sign
that
the
government
is
prioritizing
economic
growth.
We
also
believe
that
the
high
savings
rate
in
China
will
benefit
travel,
insurance,
and
other
consumer-
related
names,
which
could
become
attractive
investments
as
domestic
demand
improves.
Geopolitical
friction
is
driving
changes
in
global
supply
chains
and
may
lead
to
a
multiyear
investment
cycle.
Deglobalization
is
prompting
many
U.S.
and
European
companies
to
shift
their
sourcing
strategies
as
they
seek
to
reduce
transport
costs
and
their
environmental
footprint.
We
believe
that
certain
commodities
and
value-focused
sectors
will
gain
from
the
renewable
energy
transition.
Moreover,
infrastructure
spending
is
long
overdue
after
years
of
underinvestment
from
companies
and
governments
since
the
2007—2008
global
financial
crisis,
when
the
focus
was
on
repairing
balance
sheets.
Value-oriented
emerging
markets
stocks
have
outperformed
their
growth
counterparts
for
the
past
three
years,
but
the
depth
of
forgotten
stocks
in
our
investment
universe
remains
unchanged.
Our
contrarian
approach
and
fundamental
research
capabilities
continue
to
uncover
promising
long-term
opportunities.
Despite
the

heightened
uncertainty,
we

PRINCIPAL
RISKS
Emerging
markets.
Investments
in
emerging
market
countries
are
subject
to
greater
risk
and
overall
volatility
than
investments
in
the
U.S.
and
other
developed
markets.
Emerging
market
countries
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.
In
addition
to
the
risks
associated
with
investing
outside
the
U.S.,
emerging
markets
are
more
susceptible
to
governmental
interference,
political
and
economic
uncertainty,
local
taxes
and
restrictions
on
the
fund’s
investments,
less
efficient
trading
markets
with
lower
overall
liquidity,
and
more
volatile
currency
exchange
rates.
Value
investing.
The

Market
conditions.
The
value
of
the
fund’s
investments
may
decrease,
sometimes
rapidly
or
unexpectedly,
due
to
factors
affecting
an
issuer
held
by
the
fund,
particular
industries,
or
the
overall
securities
markets.
A
variety
of
factors
can
increase
the
volatility
of
the
fund’s
holdings
and
markets
generally,
including
political
or
regulatory
developments;
recessions;
inflation;
rapid
interest
rate
changes;
war;
or
acts
of
terrorism,
natural
disasters,
and
outbreaks
of
infectious
illnesses
or
other
widespread
public
health
issues,
such
as
the
coronavirus
pandemic
and
related
governmental
and
public
responses.
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.
Government
intervention
in
markets
may
impact
interest
rates,
market
volatility,
and
security
pricing.
These
adverse
developments
may
cause
broad
declines
in
market
value
due
to
short-term
market
movements
or
for
significantly
longer
periods
during
more
prolonged
market
downturns.

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.

Advisor

that
are
subject
to
a

for

and

no
12b-1

or
administrative

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

registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the

Act).
The
Emerging

Fund
(the

is a
diversified, open-end
management
investment
company
established
by
the
corporation. The
fund
seeks
long-term
growth
of
capital.
The

(Investor

the
Emerging

(Advisor

the

Class
(Z

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.
Prior
to
November
15,
2021,
the
initial
investment
minimum
was
$1
million
and
was
generally
waived
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans,
and
other
certain
accounts.
As
a
result
of
the
reduction
in
the
I
Class
minimum,
certain
assets
transferred
from
the
Investor
Class
to
the
I
Class.
This
transfer
of
shares
from
Investor
Class
to
I
Class
is
reflected
in
the
Statement
of
Changes
in
Net
Assets
within
the
Capital
shares
transactions
as
Shares
redeemed
and
Shares
sold,
respectively.
The
Z
Class
is
only
available
to
funds
advised
by
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
and
its
affiliates
and
other
clients
that
are
subject
to
a
contractual
fee
for
investment
management
services.
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,
I
and
Z
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.

are
allocated
to
the

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

2022-03,
Fair
Value
Measurement
(Topic
820)
Fair
Value
Measurement
of
Equity
Securities
Subject
to
Contractual
Sale
Restrictions,
which
clarifies
that
a
contractual
restriction
on
the
sale
of
an
equity
security
is
not
considered
part
of
the
unit
of
account
of
the
equity
security
and,
therefore,
is
not
considered
in
measuring
fair
value.
The
amendments
under
this
ASU
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023;
however,
the
fund
opted
to
early
adopt,
as
permitted,
effective
December
1,
2022. Adoption
of
the
guidance
did not
have
a
material
impact
on
the fund's
financial  statements.
Indemnification
 In
the
normal
course
of
business, the
fund
may
provide
indemnification
in
connection
with
its
officers
and
directors,
service
providers,
and/or
private
company
investments. The
fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown;
however,
the
risk
of
material
loss
is
currently
considered
to
be
remote.

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
instruments
in
active
markets,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
financial
instruments
in
inactive
markets,
interest
rates
and
yield
curves,
implied
volatilities,
and
credit
spreads)

Level

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 
Equity
securities,
including
exchange-traded
funds, listed
or
regularly
traded
on
a
securities
exchange
or
in
the
over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or,
for
certain
markets,
the
official
closing
price
at
the
time
the
valuations
are
made.
OTC
Bulletin
Board
securities
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices.
A
security
that
is
listed
or
traded
on
more
than
one
exchange
is
valued
at
the
quotation
on
the
exchange
determined
to
be
the
primary
market
for
such
security.
Listed
securities
not
traded
on
a
particular
day
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices
for
domestic
securities
and
the
last
quoted
sale
or
closing
price
for
international
securities.
The
last
quoted
prices
of
non-U.S.
equity
securities
may
be
adjusted
to
reflect
the
fair
value
of
such
securities
at
the
close
of
the
NYSE,
if
the Valuation
Designee
determines
that
developments
between
the
close
of
a
foreign
market
and
the
close
of
the
NYSE
will
affect
the
value
of
some
or
all
of
the fund’s portfolio
securities.
Each
business
day,
the
Valuation
Designee uses
information
from
outside
pricing
services
to
evaluate
the
quoted
prices
of
portfolio
securities
and,
if
appropriate,
decide whether
it
is
necessary
to
adjust
quoted
prices
to
reflect
fair
value
by
reviewing
a
variety
of
factors,
including
developments
in
foreign
markets,
the
performance
of
U.S.
securities
markets,
and
the
performance
of
instruments
trading
in
U.S.
markets
that
represent
foreign
securities
and
baskets
of
foreign
securities. The Valuation
Designee
uses
outside
pricing
services
to
provide
it
with
quoted
prices
and
information
to
evaluate
or
adjust
those
prices.
The Valuation
Designee
cannot
predict
how
often
it
will
use
quoted
prices
and
how
often
it
will
determine
it
necessary
to
adjust
those
prices
to
reflect
fair
value.

which
approximates

Investments
for

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.

OTHER
INVESTMENT
TRANSACTIONS 
Consistent
with
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
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.
Securities
Lending
 The fund
may
lend
its
securities
to
approved
borrowers
to
earn
additional
income.
Its
securities
lending
activities
are
administered
by
a
lending
agent
in
accordance
with
a
securities
lending
agreement.
Security
loans
generally
do
not
have
stated
maturity
dates,
and
the
fund
may
recall
a
security
at
any
time.
The
fund
receives
collateral
in
the
form
of
cash
or
U.S.
government
securities.
Collateral
is
maintained
over
the
life
of
the
loan
in
an
amount
not
less
than
the
value
of
loaned
securities;
any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
security
values
is
delivered
to
the
fund
the
next
business
day.
Cash
collateral
is
invested
in
accordance
with
investment
guidelines
approved
by
fund
management.
Additionally,
the
lending
agent
indemnifies
the
fund
against
losses
resulting
from
borrower
default.
Although
risk
is
mitigated
by
the
collateral
and
indemnification,
the
fund
could
experience
a
delay
in
recovering
its
securities
and
a
possible
loss
of
income
or
value
if
the
borrower
fails
to
return
the
securities,
collateral
investments
decline
in
value,
and
the
lending
agent
fails
to
perform.
Securities
lending
revenue
consists
of
earnings
on
invested
collateral
and
borrowing
fees,
net
of
any
rebates
to
the
borrower,
compensation
to
the
lending
agent,
and
other
administrative
costs.

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.
The fund
files
U.S.
federal,
state,
and
local
tax
returns
as
required. The
fund’s
tax
returns
are
subject
to
examination
by
the
relevant
tax
authorities
until
expiration
of
the
applicable
statute
of
limitations,
which
is
generally
three
years
after
the
filing
of
the
tax
return,
but
which
can
be
extended
to
six
years
in
certain
circumstances.
Tax
returns
for
open
years
have
incorporated
no
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
a
provision
for
income
taxes.
Capital
accounts
within
the
financial
reporting
records
are
adjusted
for
permanent
book/tax
differences
to
reflect
tax
character
but
are
not
adjusted
for
temporary
differences.
The
permanent
book/tax
adjustments,
if
any,
have
no
impact
on
results
of
operations
or
net
assets.
The
permanent
book/tax
adjustments
relate
primarily
to
the
character
of
income
on
passive
foreign

companies
and
differences
in
treatment
of

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
0.65%
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
October
31,
2023,
the
effective
annual
group
fee
rate
was
0.29%.
The Investor Class
and Advisor Class
are
each
subject
to
a
contractual
expense
limitation
through
the
expense
limitation
dates
indicated
in
the
table
below.
During
the
limitation
period,
Price
Associates
is required
to
waive
its
management
fee
or
pay
any
expenses
(excluding
interest;
expenses
related
to
borrowings,
taxes,
and
brokerage;
non-recurring,
extraordinary
expenses;
and
acquired

fees
and

that
would
otherwise
cause
the
class’s
ratio
of
annualized
total
expenses
to
average
net
assets
(net
expense
ratio)
to
exceed
its
expense
limitation.
Each
class
is
required
to
repay
Price
Associates
for
expenses
previously
waived/paid
to
the
extent
the
class’s
net
assets
grow
or
expenses
decline
sufficiently
to
allow
repayment
without
causing
the
class’s
net
expense
ratio
(after
the
repayment
is
taken
into

to
exceed
the
lesser
of:
(1)
the
expense
limitation
in
place
at
the
time
such
amounts
were
waived;
or
(2)
the
class’s
current
expense
limitation.
However,
no
repayment
will
be
made
more
than
three
years
after
the
date
of
a
payment
or
waiver.   
The
I
Class
is
also
subject
to
an
operating
expense
limitation
(I

pursuant
to
which
Price
Associates
is
contractually
required
to
pay
all

and
may
be

The
Z
Class
is
also
subject
to
a
contractual
expense
limitation
agreement
whereby
Price

has
agreed
to
waive
and/or
bear
all
of

related
to

in

This

to
remain
in
place
indefinitely,
and
the
agreement
may
only
be
amended

Expenses
of
the

MATTERS
Unpredictable
events
such
as
environmental
or
natural
disasters,
war
and
conflict,
terrorism,
geopolitical
events,
and
public
health
epidemics 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.
The
global
outbreak
of
COVID-19
and
the
related
governmental
and
public
responses
have
led
and
may
continue
to
lead
to
increased
market
volatility
and
the
potential
for
illiquidity
in
certain
classes
of
securities
and
sectors
of
the
market
either
in
specific
countries
or
worldwide.
In
February
2022,
Russian
forces
entered
Ukraine
and
commenced
an
armed
conflict,
leading
to
economic
sanctions imposed
on
Russia
that
target certain
of
its
citizens
and
issuers
and
sectors
of
the
Russian
economy,
creating
impacts
on
Russian-related
stocks
and
debt
and
greater
volatility
in
global
markets.
In
March
2023,
the
banking
industry
experienced
heightened
volatility,
which
sparked
concerns
of
potential
broader
adverse
market
conditions.
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
certain
portfolio
holdings
or
the
fund’s
overall
performance.
Management
is
actively
monitoring
the
risks
and
financial
impacts
arising
from
these
events.

Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial

are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be

with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the

Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due

Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the

Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of

by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when

were
not

from

we
performed
other

our

provide

LIQUIDITY
RISK
MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
In accordance
with
Rule
22e-4
(Liquidity
Rule)
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended,
the
fund
has
established
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(Liquidity
Program)
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
generally
represents
the
risk
that
the
fund
would
not
be
able
to
meet
redemption
requests
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
fund.
The
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
has
appointed
the
fund’s
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
as
the
administrator
of
the
Liquidity
Program.
As
administrator,
the
Adviser
is
responsible
for
overseeing
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and,
among
other
things,
is
responsible
for
assessing,
managing,
and
reviewing
with
the
Board
at
least
annually
the
liquidity
risk
of
each
T.
Rowe
Price
fund.
The
Adviser
has
delegated
oversight
of
the
Liquidity
Program
to
a
Liquidity
Risk
Committee
(LRC),
which
is
a
cross-functional
committee
composed
of
personnel
from
multiple
departments
within
the
Adviser.
The
Liquidity
Program’s
principal
objectives
include
supporting
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
compliance
with
limits
on
investments
in
illiquid
assets
and
mitigating
the
risk
that
the
fund
will
be
unable
to
timely
meet
its
redemption
obligations.
The
Liquidity
Program
also
includes
a
number
of
elements
that
support
the
management
and
assessment
of
liquidity
risk,
including
an
annual
assessment
of
factors
that
influence
the
fund’s
liquidity
and
the
periodic
classification
and
reclassification
of
a
fund’s
investments
into
categories
that
reflect
the
LRC’s
assessment
of
their
relative
liquidity
under
current
market
conditions.
Under
the
Liquidity
Program,
every
investment
held
by
the
fund
is
classified
at
least
monthly
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
based
on
estimations
of
the
investment’s
ability
to
be
sold
during
designated
time
frames
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
As
required
by
the
Liquidity
Rule,
at
a
meeting
held
on
July
24,
2023,
the
Board
was
presented
with
an
annual
assessment
that
was
prepared
by
the
LRC
on
behalf
of
the
Adviser
and
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
any
material
changes
to
the
Liquidity
Program
and
the
determination
of
each
fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(HLIM).
The
annual
assessment
included
consideration
of
the
following
factors,
as
applicable:
the
fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions,
including
whether
the
investment
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund,
the
extent
to
which
the
strategy
involves
a
relatively
concentrated
portfolio
or
large
positions
in
particular
issuers,
and
the
use
of
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
and
derivatives;
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
covering
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
and
holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
available
borrowing
arrangements.

For the
fund
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
the
annual
assessment
incorporated
a
report
related
to
a
fund’s
holdings,
shareholder
and
portfolio
concentration,
any
borrowings
during
the
period,
cash
flow
projections,
and
other
relevant
data
for
the
period
of
April
1,
2022,
through
March
31,
2023.
The
report
described
the
methodology
for
classifying
a
fund’s
investments
(including
any
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories,
as
well
as
the
percentage
of
a
fund’s
investments
assigned
to
each
category.
It
also
explained
the
methodology
for
establishing
a
fund’s
HLIM
and
noted
that
the
LRC
reviews
the
HLIM
assigned
to
each
fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
During
the
period
covered
by
the
annual
assessment,
the
LRC
has
concluded,
and
reported
to
the
Board,
that
the
Liquidity
Program
continues
to
operate
adequately
and
effectively
and
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk.

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. The nature of these services specifically includes the review of distribution calculations and the preparation of Federal, state, and excise tax returns. All other fees include the registrant’s pro-rata share of amounts for agreed-upon procedures in conjunction with service contract approvals by the registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.

(2) No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 


 

(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $1,584,000 and $2,760,000, respectively.

(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
