1Established in 1988, the Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year award recognizes portfolio managers who demonstrate excellent investment skill and the courage to differ from the consensus to benefit investors. The Fund Manager of the Year award winners are chosen based on research and in-depth qualitative evaluation by Morningstar’s Manager Research Group. To qualify for the award, managers’ funds must have not only posted impressive returns for the year, but the managers also must have a record of delivering outstanding long-term risk-adjusted performance and of aligning their interests with shareholders’. Managers’ funds must currently have a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Gold or Silver. David Giroux won the award for Allocation Funds in 2012, Allocation/Alternative Funds in 2017, and Allocation Funds in 2025.
Morningstar’s Manager Research Group consists of various wholly owned subsidiaries of Morningstar, Inc., including, but not limited to, Morningstar Research Services LLC. Morningstar’s Manager Research Group produces various ratings, including the Morningstar Analyst Rating for funds and the Morningstar Quantitative Rating for funds. The Analyst Rating is derived from a qualitative assessment process performed by a manager research analyst, whereas the Morningstar Quantitative Rating uses a machine-learning model based on the decision-making processes of Morningstar’s analysts, their past ratings decisions, and the data used to support those decisions. In both cases, the ratings are forward-looking assessments and include assumptions of future events, which may or may not occur or may differ significantly from what was assumed. The Analyst Ratings and Quantitative Ratings are statements of opinions, are subject to change, are not to be considered as guarantees, and should not be used as the sole basis for investment decisions.

Rankings for other periods differ. For Lipper Best Individual Funds, the calculation periods extend over 36, 60, and 120 months. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over 3, 5, or 10 years as of the period-end and no other time periods. Only one share class (the one with the best Lipper Leader score) is used for each portfolio in determining asset class and overall awards. A high Lipper rating does not necessarily imply that a fund had the best total performance or that the fund achieved positive results for that period. Lipper ratings and Lipper Fund Awards are not intended to predict future results.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are bought and sold at market prices, not net asset value. Investors generally incur the cost of the spread between the prices at which shares are bought and sold. Buying and selling shares may result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns. The T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund, Capital Appreciation and Income Fund, Capital Appreciation Equity ETF, and Capital Appreciation Premium Income ETF share the same lead portfolio manager and investment research process. However, the funds’ implementation of the research process varies, including, but not limited to, differences in product structure, asset allocation, trading, and fees and expenses. There is no guarantee that the funds will perform similarly in any market environment. Review the prospectuses for detailed information on the funds' strategy, fees, and risks.
RISKS
Capital Appreciation Fund: The fund is subject to the inherent volatility of common stock investing. The value approach carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock judged to be undervalued may be appropriately priced. Because of the fund’s fixed income holdings or cash position, it may not keep pace in a rapidly rising market.
Capital Appreciation and Income Fund: The fund is subject to the inherent volatility of common stock investing. Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.
Capital Appreciation Equity ETF: The ETF is subject to the inherent volatility of common stock investing. The fund's value and growth investing styles may become out of favor, which may result in periods of underperformance. The fund is nondiversified, meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single company and own more of the company’s voting securities than is permissible for a diversified fund. The fund's share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a comparable diversified fund.
Capital Appreciation Premium Income ETF: The ETF is subject to the inherent volatility of common stock investing. The use of derivatives exposes the fund to additional volatility and potential losses. A derivative involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the assets on which the derivative is based, including liquidity risk, valuation risk, correlation risk, market risk, interest rate risk, leverage risk, counterparty and credit risk, operational risk, management risk, legal risk, and regulatory risk. The fund will write calls on instruments the fund owns or otherwise has exposure to (covered calls) in return for a premium. Under a call writing strategy, the fund typically would expect to receive cash (or a premium) for having written (sold) a call, which enables a purchaser of the call to buy the asset on which the option is written at a certain price within a specified time frame. Writing call options will limit the fund's opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value and other returns of the underlying asset to the exercise price (plus the premium received).
