Important Information

^T. Rowe Price does not provide tax guidance or advice.

*Differences between compared investments may include sales and management fees, liquidity, volatility, tax features, holdings, and other features, which may result in differences in performance.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS:

All investments are subject to risks, including the possible loss of principal. International investments can be riskier than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates; differences in market structure and liquidity; as well as specific country, regional, and economic developments. A growth or value approach to investing could cause underperformance compared with other stock portfolios that employ different investment styles.Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than value stocks, and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. 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.
