Rowe Price has been independently verified for the twenty four-year period ended June 30, 2020, by KPMG LLP. The verification report is available upon request.

Verification does not provide assurance on the accuracy of any specific performance report.

Strategies with co-portfolio managers display the manager with the longer tenure. 

Holdings information and other breakdowns (such as country and currency) are related to those of representative portfolio ("Portfolio"). The Portfolio is an account in the composite we believe most closely reflects current portfolio management style for the strategy. Performance is not a consideration in the selection of the representative portfolio. The characteristics of the representative portfolio shown may differ from those of other accounts in the strategy. Please see the GIPS® Disclosure page for additional information on the composite.

The specific securities identified and described above do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients and no assumptions should be made that investments in the securities identified and discussed were or will be profitable.
