Annual

b T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. has agreed (through February 28, 2014) to waive its fees and/or bear any expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees) that would cause the funds ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.75%. Termination of the agreement would require approval by the funds Board of Directors. Fees waived and expenses paid under this agreement are subject to reimbursement to T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. by the fund whenever the funds expense ratio is below 0.75%. However, no reimbursement will be made more than three years after the waiver or payment, or if it would result in the expense ratio exceeding 0.75% (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees).
Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, the funds operating expenses remain the same, and the expense limitation currently in place is not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 year | 3 years |
$77 | $939 |
Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund

shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the funds performance. For the period of July 26, 2012 through October 31, 2012, the funds portfolio turnover rate was 13.5% of the average value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities issued by companies throughout the world. The percentage of assets allocated to investments outside the U.S. will vary according to the portfolio managers outlook. However, under normal conditions, at least 40% of the funds net assets will be invested in companies outside the U.S. (and at least 30% of its net assets will be invested in companies outside the U.S. if foreign market conditions are not favorable). The fund invests in companies across a broad range of industries in the U.S. and developed markets and, to a lesser extent, emerging markets. Although the fund may invest in companies of any size, investments will generally be made in stocks of large- and mid-cap companies.
While the fund invests with an awareness of the global economic landscape and the outlook for certain industries and countries, stock selection is driven mainly by fundamental research that seeks to identify companies that are undervalued but have the potential for improving earnings over time. The funds value approach to investing relies on a global research team that searches for companies that appear to be undervalued by various measures and may be temporarily out of favor but have good prospects for capital appreciation or dividend growth.
In selecting investments, the fund generally favors companies with one or more of the following characteristics:
· low valuation on various earnings, book value, sales, and cash flow metrics, in absolute terms and/or relative to the companys peers or its own historical norm;
· low valuation relative to a companys growth potential;
· companies that may benefit from restructuring activity or other turnaround opportunities;
· a sound balance sheet and other positive financial characteristics; and
· above-average dividend yield and/or the potential to grow dividends.
The fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
Principal Risks As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective. The funds share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are summarized as follows:
Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment advisers judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the funds

investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Risks of stock investing Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which the fund invests may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a company or a particular industry.
Foreign investing risk Investing in the securities of non-U.S. companies involves special risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities, and may lose value because of adverse political, social, or economic developments overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In addition, foreign investments are subject to settlement practices, and regulatory and financial reporting standards, that differ from those of the U.S. These risks are heightened for the funds investments in emerging markets.
Investment style risk Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor, depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The funds value approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ a different investment style. The intrinsic value of a stock with value characteristics may not be fully recognized by the market for a long time or a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced at a low level.
Performance Because the fund commenced operations in 2012, there is no historical performance information shown here. Performance history will be presented after the fund has been in operation for one full calendar year.
