During two of the most prolonged market crises in the past 25 years, T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity funds generated higher returns than their respective indexes through the largest decline.1 This resulted in more money saved—followed by more money gained—for our clients.
We delivered higher returns in the biggest downturns.
Whether markets were up or down, we've outperformed.
Limiting investors' losses is just as important as—and goes hand in hand with—delivering growth. For the last 20 years, the same 17 U.S. equity funds beat their designated benchmarks over 70% of the time when the benchmarks were positive.2
And when benchmarks were down, our funds lost less over 90% of the time.
Includes trailing five-year monthly rolling periods over 20 years from 2002 to 2022.
