The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities.

Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment focus suggested by the fund’s name, or to one or more market risk factors associated with the investment focus suggested by the fund’s name, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the fund’s 80% investment policy.

The fund typically invests in at least five countries, including the U.S., and the amount of the fund’s assets invested outside the U.S. will vary depending on the adviser’s outlook for market conditions and opportunities overseas versus those in the U.S. However, the fund typically invests at least 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers. The fund relies on MSCI Inc., a third-party provider of benchmark indexes and data services, or another unaffiliated data provider to determine the country assigned to a security.

The fund invests predominantly in common stocks and may invest in companies of any market capitalization, but generally focuses on large- and mid-cap companies. The fund seeks investments in companies around the world that are expected by T. Rowe Price to be mispriced by the markets based on certain quantitative metrics.

The fund’s integrated approach to investing combines fundamental analysis and quantitative models to identify stocks that could be included in the portfolio. Stocks are selected based on a variety of metrics such as a company’s valuation, profitability, stability, earnings quality, management capital allocation actions, and indicators of near-term appreciation potential.

At times, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the same economic sector, such as the information technology sector.
