Watch video: Introducing the T. Rowe Price Global Impact Equity Fund
Investing used to just be about making a meaningful return on your investment. But what if your investment could not only deliver a return on your investment, but also do more good, both environmentally and socially for the world we all live in?
The opportunities now to own quality businesses that create a positive impact on society and the planet are broader than they have ever been in equity markets.
The T. Rowe Price Global Impact Equity Fund targets specific companies that not only make good economic sense, but also focus on making the world a better place for all.
It’s really about pursuing more meaningful returns for investors who care.
Invest in companies which make an impact
