Numbers tell only half the story. Our strategic investing approach demands going further to get the full story.
Strategic investing has guided us since 1937.
We strive to deliver consistently better outcomes for our clients. Here's how we go further:
We delivered better returns in up and down markets.
Our 17 U.S. equity funds beat their benchmarks most of the time in both up and down markets (6/30/2001–6/30/2021).
Helping to limit investors’ losses is just as important as—if not more important than—delivering growth. In addition to identifying promising investment opportunities, our strategic investing approach has helped us prudently manage risk for our clients’ investments.
It's about more than just higher returns.
Over a 20-year period from 2001 to 2021, our U.S. equity funds analyzed beat their benchmarks over 70% of the time in trailing five-year monthly rolling preiods when their designated benchmarks were positive.1 Perhaps more importantly, our funds helped investors limit losses better than the benchmark during that same period, outperforming over 90% of the time when benchmarks were down.
1 Results based on an analysis of T. Rowe Price’s active, diversified U.S. equity mutual funds (oldest share class). Index, sector, specialized, and institutional clones of our retail funds were excluded. Funds with less than a 15-year track record were also excluded due to limited performance data availability. Of T. Rowe Price’s 25 diversified U.S. equity funds, 17 met the criteria for the analysis and are represented within. One of the 17 funds, the Capital Appreciation Fund, also has the ability to invest in fixed income assets but is primarily an equity portfolio and benchmarked to the S&P 500 Index. The funds included in the analysis represented over 75% of total U.S. equity assets in the domestic and global equity mutual funds advised by the firm as of 6/30/2021. Results for other time periods will differ. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
