Market
Commentary
Dear
Shareholder
Major
global
stock
and
bond
indexes
produced
positive
results
during
the
first
half
of
your
fund’s
fiscal
year,
the
six-month
period
ended
April
30,
2024.
Investor
sentiment
was
bolstered
by
rising
hopes
at
the
end
of
2023
that
central
banks
would
be
able
to
cut
interest
rates
soon;
however,
stronger-than-expected
inflation
data
in
the
first
quarter
of
2024
contributed
to
a
downturn
in
April
that
offset
some
of
the
strong
gains
recorded
earlier
in
the
period.
Growth
stocks
outperformed
value
shares
over
the
six-month
period,
and
stocks
in
developed
markets
generally
outpaced
their
counterparts
in
emerging
markets.
Currency
movements
were
mixed
over
the
period—a
weaker
U.S.
dollar
versus
some
major
European
currencies
was
beneficial
for
U.S.
investors
in
European
securities,
while
a
downturn
in
the
Japanese
yen
had
the
reverse
effect.
Technology
companies
benefited
from
investor
enthusiasm
for
artificial
intelligence
developments
and
produced
some
of
the
strongest
results
in
the
equity
market.
Within
the
U.S.-focused
S&P
500
Index,
the
communication
services,
financials, information
technology,
and
industrials sectors
all
recorded
strong
gains,
while
returns
for
energy
companies
were
more
muted
as
oil
prices
dipped
at
the
end
of
2023
before
rebounding
in
the
new
year.
U.S.
Treasury
yields
finished
the
period
lower,
which
supported
broadly
positive
results
in
the
fixed
income
market.
High
yield
corporate
bonds
produced
some
of
the
strongest
returns,
aided
by
the
higher
coupons
that
have
become
available
since
the
Fed
began
hiking
rates
about
two
years
ago,
as
well
as
strength
in
the
economy
that
kept
default
expectations
at
low
levels.
The
U.S.
economy
was
the
strongest
among
the
major
markets
during
the
period,
although
first-quarter
gross
domestic
product
growth—according
to
a
preliminary
estimate—slowed
from
the
level
reported
at
the
end
of
2023.
Meanwhile,
after
flirting
with
a
recession
late
last
year,
growth
in
the
eurozone
appeared
to
be
healthier
in
the
latest
reports,
and
China’s
economy
showed
signs
of
recovery
after
a
sluggish
performance
in
2023.
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Impact
Equity
Fund
The
positive
economic
news
aided
investor
sentiment
following
widespread
expectations
for
a
downturn
last
year.
But
the
outlook
for
monetary
policy
as
global
central
banks
continued
their
fight
against
inflation
was
more
difficult
to
decipher.
After
significant
progress
in
reducing
the
rate
of
price
increases—
12-month
consumer
price
index
inflation
dropped
from
6.4%
to
3.3%
over
the
course
of
2023—Federal
Reserve
policymakers
helped
boost
sentiment
when
their
year-end
economic
projections
indicated
that
three
quarter-point
interest
rate
cuts
were
likely
in
2024,
up
from
the
two
they
had
forecast
previously.
However,
with
inflation
improvements
stalling
so
far
this
year,
Fed
officials
indicated
that
they
will
take
a
patient
approach
to
loosening
monetary
policy,
a
message
that
weighed
on
markets
near
the
end
of
our
reporting
period.
Outside
the
U.S.,
the
European
Central
Bank was
also
facing
sticky
inflation,
but
officials
indicated
that
they
would
like
to
begin
cutting
rates
soon
if
upcoming
reports
are
favorable.
Meanwhile,
moving
in
the
other
direction,
the
Bank
of
Japan
lifted
short-term
interest
rates
from
negative
territory
for
the
first
time
in
over
seven
years
following
a
long
campaign
against
disinflation,
although
Japan’s
monetary
policy
remains
among
the
most
accommodative
in
the
world.
Global
economies
have
displayed
continued
resilience
in
the
year-to-date
period,
but
risks
remain
as
we
look
ahead.
Elevated
geopolitical
tensions,
uncertainty
about
the
path
of
monetary
policy,
and
fading
fiscal
stimulus
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
help
identify
securities
that
can
add
value
to
your
portfolio
over
the
long
term.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
confidence
in
T.
Rowe
Price.

Robert

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
two
share
classes:
The
original
share
class
(Investor
Class)
charges
no
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fee,
and
the
I
Class
shares
are
also
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.

The
Global

is a
diversified, open-end
management
investment
company
established
by

seeks
long-term

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. 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

Capital
Transactions
Each

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

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

are
transacted
at
the

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
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
T.

Equity

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.
Investments
in
mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
mutual
fund’s
closing
NAV
per
share
on
the
day
of
valuation.
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
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Impact
Equity
Fund
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.

agreement
(Advisory
Contract)
between
the

and
its

T.

as
well
as
the

(Subadvisory

that
the
Adviser
has
entered
into
with
T.

(Subadviser)
on
behalf
of
the

In
that
regard,
at
a

held

the
Board,
including
all
of

present

approved
the

the

by
independent

from
whom
they
received

In
providing

was
guided
by
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
by
independent

of
the

In
considering

considered
the

it
believed
was

considered

but
also
the
knowledge
gained
over

The

considered

These

included,

Performance
of

The
Board
took
into
account
discussions
with

and
detailed
reports
that
it
regularly
receives
throughout
the
year
on
relative
and
absolute
performance
for
the
T.

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,

relevant
benchmark
indexes
and
peer
groups
of
funds
with
similar
investment
programs
for
various
periods
through
December
31,

Additionally,
the
Board
reviewed
the
fund’s
relative
performance
information
as
of
September
30,
2023,
which
ranked
the
returns
of
the
fund’s
Investor

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,
the
length
of
the
fund’s
performance
track
record,
and
how
closely
the
fund’s
strategies
align
with
its
benchmarks
and
peer
groups.
The
Board
noted
that,
as
of
December
31,
2023,
the
fund
lagged
its
benchmark
for
certain
performance
periods
and
the
fund’s
total
returns
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
for
certain
periods
when
compared
with
performance
peer
groups
selected
by
third-party
data
providers.
The
Adviser
provided
the
Board
with
information
addressing
the
fund’s
performance
relative
to
its
benchmarks
and
performance
peers
during
the
applicable
periods
and
the
primary
reasons
for
such
results.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
responses
relating
to
the
fund’s
performance
during
certain
of
the
evaluated
periods
and
noted
that
it
will
continue
to
monitor
the
fund’s
performance.
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

and
Subadvisory

that
it

including

the

to
pay

The
Board
received
information
on
the
estimated
costs
incurred
and
profits
realized
by
the
Adviser
from
managing
the
T.
Rowe

While
the
Board
did
not
review
information
regarding
profits
realized
from
managing
the
fund
in
particular
because
the
fund
had
either
not
achieved
sufficient

size
or
not
recognized
sufficient

to
produce
meaningful

the

concluded

were
reasonable

of
the

The

otherwise
from
any

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
the
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’s
shareholders
may
also
benefit
from
future
economies
of
scale
through
a
decline
in
certain
operating
expenses
as
the
fund
grows
in
size.
However,
the
fund
is
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
a
share
class
of
the
fund
to
exceed
a
certain
percentage
based
on
the
class’s
net
assets.
The
expense
limitations
protect
shareholders
from
relatively
high
expenses
until
the
fund
reaches
greater
scale
and
mitigate
the
potential
for
an
increase
in
operating
expenses
above
a
certain
level
that
could
impact
shareholders.

ROWE
PRICE
Global
Impact
Equity
Fund
In
addition,
the
Board
noted
that
the
fund
potentially
shares
in
indirect
economies
of
scale
through
the
Adviser’s
and
Subadviser’s
ongoing
investments
in
their
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
(Expense
Group)
and
(ii)
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
fourth
quintile
(Expense
Group),
the
fund’s
actual
management
fee
rate
ranked
in
the
first
quintile
(Expense
Group
and
Expense
Universe),
and
the
fund’s
total
expenses
ranked
in
the
fifth
quintile
(Expense
Group
and
Expense
Universe).
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

T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Impact
Equity
Fund
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.
Approval
of
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contract
As
noted,
the
Board
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
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
the
Advisory
Contract
and
Subadvisory
Contract
(including
the
fees
to
be
charged
for
services
thereunder).
