Frequently Asked Questions

What is T. Rowe Price ActivePlus Portfolios and how does it work?

T. Rowe Price ActivePlus Portfolios is a digital discretionary investment management service currently composed of 10 model portfolios designed to meet specific objectives. Each model portfolio invests in approximately 8 to 15 T. Rowe Price mutual funds according to a predetermined asset allocation strategy. How it works:

  • The program recommends a model portfolio based on information you provide in response to our online questionnaire, such as your investing time horizon and risk tolerance. Once you receive your recommendation, it’s easy to open an account.
  • We regularly monitor the model portfolios and rebalance the asset allocation of each as determined by our investment professionals. When the model portfolio is rebalanced, we seek to rebalance your account to generally align it with the target allocation of your recommended portfolio. Note: If you restrict any funds,* we will still rebalance your account to align with your target allocation, to the extent allowable.
  • At least annually, you should review your risk tolerance and time horizon. It’s important to let us know if things change—such as life events or your financial situation. You can update your profile anytime to receive a new model portfolio recommendation.

Once your account is assigned to a model portfolio, we will diversify your holdings by aligning the asset allocation of your account with the model portfolio appropriate for your time horizon and risk tolerance. Because we manage your account based on your most recent responses to our questionnaire, you must update your time horizon and risk tolerance anytime there are changes to your individual circumstances. In addition, at least annually, you must update your time horizon to reflect the passage of time so that we can adjust your portfolio as necessary.

Retirement Advisory Service™

The range shown above includes the expense ratios for the portfolio with the lowest and highest expense ratio in the program, as of 9/30/2025 (unaudited).
The expenses use historical data on the portfolios and are not a prediction of future expenses. Certain funds may have contractual expense limitations that have been factored in here, but may not continue for the period you hold the portfolio.
The expense ratio is calculated using the most recent quarter-end data on the program;

  • primary funds used in the portfolios,
  • the underlying fund expense ratios, and
  • the target allocations for each portfolio.

The actual expenses experienced by an investor may be different than the expenses here. Actual expenses will depend upon the timing of investments into and out of the portfolio, the performance of the funds within the portfolio during the time held, share class, tactical portfolio changes, fund restrictions requested, as well as other factors. 

*You may request to restrict up to 3 funds from your portfolio at a time. By restricting a fund(s), you're requesting that we replace that mutual fund with an alternative program fund within the same asset class (for example, U.S. large-cap growth, U.S. investment-grade fixed income, etc.). Keep in mind: Not all mutual funds within a portfolio have an acceptable alternative. In this scenario, we'll contact you to review your options, which may include changing or removing the request or, in some cases, closing your account.
