Important information
The principal value of target date strategies is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target date, which is the approximate date when investors plan to retire (assumed to be age 65) and likely stop making new investments in the strategy. If an investor plans to retire significantly earlier or later than age 65, the target date strategies may not be an appropriate investment even if the investor is retiring on or near the target date. These target date strategies invest in a diversified portfolio of other T. Rowe Price stock and bond strategies that represent various asset classes and sectors and are therefore subject to the risks of different areas of the market. The allocations among a broad range of underlying T. Rowe Price stock and bond strategies will change over time. The strategies emphasize potential capital appreciation during the early phases of retirement asset accumulation, balance the need for appreciation with the need for income as retirement approaches, and focus on supporting an income stream over a long-term post-retirement withdrawal horizon. The target date strategies are not designed for a lump-sum redemption at the target date and do not guarantee a particular level of income. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

The Morningstar Quantitative Rating is not a credit or risk rating. It is a quantitative evaluation performed by Morningstar, Inc. The Quantitative Ratings are composed of the Morningstar Quantitative Rating for funds, Quantitative Parent Pillar, Quantitative People Pillar, and Quantitative Process Pillar. The Quantitative Rating consists of a series of seven individual models working in unison that were designed to provide a best approximation for the Analyst Rating on the global universe of open-end funds and ETFs. The Quantitative Rating scale ranges from Gold to Bronze, with Gold being the highest rating and Negative being the lowest rating. The top 15% of eligible share classes in a rating group are given a Gold rating, the next 35% Silver, and the bottom 50% a Bronze rating. For more detailed information about Morningstar’s Quantitative Rating, including its methodology, please go to https://shareholders.morningstar.com/investor-relations/governance/Compliance--Disclosure/default.aspx.
The Morningstar Quantitative Rating should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a mutual fund. In no way does Morningstar represent ratings as a guarantee nor should they be viewed by an investor as such. Morningstar Quantitative Ratings involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Morningstar’s expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what we expected.

Important information about the Morningstar Analyst Ratings
The Retirement I 2005-2065 Funds–I Class and the Retirement 2005-2065 Trusts received a Morningstar Analyst RatingTM of Gold as of February 9, 2023. The Retirement 2005-2065 Blend Trusts received a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold as of March 31, 2022. The Retirement 2005-2065 Funds, Investor Class received a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Silver as of February 9, 2023. The T. Rowe Price Retirement Blend Funds have not been rated due to their limited history.
The Morningstar Analyst Rating™ is not a credit or risk rating. It is a subjective evaluation performed by Morningstar’s manager research group, which consists of various Morningstar, Inc. subsidiaries (“Manager Research Group”). In the United States, that subsidiary is Morningstar Research Services LLC, which is registered with and governed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Manager Research Group evaluates funds based on five key pillars, which are process, performance, people, parent, and price. The Manager Research Group uses this five-pillar evaluation to determine how they believe funds are likely to perform relative to a benchmark over the long term on a risk adjusted basis. They consider quantitative and qualitative factors in their research. For actively managed strategies, people and process each receive a 45% weighting in their analysis, while parent receives a 10% weighting. For passive strategies, process receives an 80% weighting, while people and parent each receive a 10% weighting. For both active and passive strategies, performance has no explicit weight as it is incorporated into the analysis of people and process; price at the share-class level (where applicable) is directly subtracted from an expected gross alpha estimate derived from the analysis of the other pillars. The impact of the weighted pillar scores for people, process and parent on the final Analyst Rating is further modified by a measure of the dispersion of historical alphas among relevant peers. For certain peer groups where standard benchmarking is not applicable, primarily peer groups of funds using alternative investment strategies, the modification by alpha dispersion is not used.
The Analyst Rating scale is Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. For active funds, a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze reflects the Manager Research Group’s expectation that an active fund will be able to deliver positive alpha net of fees relative to the standard benchmark index assigned to the Morningstar category. The level of the rating relates to the level of expected positive net alpha relative to Morningstar category peers for active funds. For passive funds, a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze reflects the Manager Research Group’s expectation that a fund will be able to deliver a higher alpha net of fees than the lesser of the relevant Morningstar category median or 0. The level of the rating relates to the level of expected net alpha relative to Morningstar category peers for passive funds. For certain peer groups where standard benchmarking is not applicable, primarily peer groups of funds using alternative investment strategies, a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze reflects the Manager Research Group’s expectation that a fund will deliver a weighted pillar score above a predetermined threshold within its peer group. Analyst Ratings ultimately reflect the Manager Research Group’s overall assessment, are overseen by an Analyst Rating Committee, and are continuously monitored and reevaluated at least every 14 months.
