What drove fund performance during the past 12 months?

  • Global stock indexes were broadly positive, while fixed income markets were mixed for the 12 months ended May 31, 2024. Many central banks maintained tight monetary policies to combat inflation, and markets fluctuated amid shifting expectations for interest rate cuts as rates remained "higher for longer." Nevertheless, investor sentiment was elevated by resilient corporate earnings and enthusiasm around the profit potential from artificial intelligence developments.

  • Versus the style-specific S&P Target Date 2045 Index, structural composition contributed to performance for the trailing one-year period. Security selection within the underlying U.S. large-cap equity strategies also had a favorable impact. The fund's allocations to U.S. large-cap value and core equities each outpaced their respective benchmarks, which added value on a relative basis.

  • On the negative side, as global equity markets climbed, the fund's lower equity allocations relative to its benchmark weighed on results. Additionally, a leading detractor from relative performance was security selection among the emerging markets stock allocation, which trailed its benchmark. Selection among the U.S. small-cap growth stock allocation weighed as well, as it also trailed its benchmark and detracted on a relative basis.

  • The fund seeks the highest total return over time, consistent with an emphasis on both capital growth and income. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of other T. Rowe Price stock and bond mutual funds that represent various asset classes and sectors. Its allocation among T. Rowe Price funds will change over time in relation to its target retirement date.

The preceding line graph shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The fund's performance information included in the line graph and table above is compared with a regulatory required index that represents an overall securities market (Regulatory Benchmark). In addition, the line graph and table may also include one or more indexes that more closely aligns to the fund's investment strategy (Strategy Benchmark(s)). Due to new SEC Rules on shareholder reporting the fund adopted a new broad-based securities market index, referred to as the Regulatory Benchmark. Market index returns do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns. The fund's total return figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Neither the fund's returns nor the index returns reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemptions of fund shares. The fund's past performance is not a good predictor of the fund's future performance.Updated performance information can be found at www.troweprice.com.

The preceding line graph shows the value of a hypothetical $500,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The fund's performance information included in the line graph and table above is compared with a regulatory required index that represents an overall securities market (Regulatory Benchmark). In addition, the line graph and table may also include one or more indexes that more closely aligns to the fund's investment strategy (Strategy Benchmark(s)). Due to new SEC Rules on shareholder reporting the fund adopted a new broad-based securities market index, referred to as the Regulatory Benchmark. Market index returns do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns. The fund's total return figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Neither the fund's returns nor the index returns reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemptions of fund shares. The fund's past performance is not a good predictor of the fund's future performance.Updated performance information can be found at www.troweprice.com.

Highlights

For
a
share
outstanding
throughout
each
period
The
accompanying
notes
are
an
integral
part
of
these
financial
statements.
(1)
Per
share
amounts
calculated
using
average
shares
outstanding
method.
(2)
Includes
the
impact
of
expense-related
arrangements
with
Price
Associates.
Effective
April
15,
2020,
the
fund
began
charging
an
all-inclusive
management
fee
based
on
the
class'
average
daily
net
assets.
On
that
same
date,
the
fund
converted
its
investments
from
each
underlying
Price
Fund's
I
Class
to
its
Z
Class,
which
has
a
net
expense
ratio
of
less
than
0.01%.
(3)
The
amount
presented
is
inconsistent
with
the
fund's
results
of
operations
because
of
the
timing
of
redemptions
of
fund
shares
in
relation
to
fluctuating
market
values
for
the
investment
portfolio.
(4)
Total
return
reflects
the
rate
that
an
investor
would
have
earned
on
an
investment
in
the
fund
during
each
period,
assuming
reinvestment
of
all
distributions,
and
payment
of
no
redemption
or
account
fees,
if
applicable.
The
fund's
total
return
may
be
higher
or
lower
than
the
investment
results
of
the
individual
underlying
Price
Funds.
(5)
Reflects
the
activity
of
the
fund,
and
does
not
include
the
activity
of
the
underlying
Price
Funds.
However,
investment
performance
of
the
fund
is
directly
related
to
the
investment
performance
of
the
underlying
Price
Funds
in
which
it
invests.
(6)
Reflects
the
indirect
expense
impact
to
the
fund
from
its
investment
in
the
underlying
Price
Funds,
based
on
the
actual
expense
ratio
of
each
underlying
Price
Fund
weighted
for
the
fund's
relative
average
investment
therein.

Capital
Transactions
Each

in
the

of the
fund
is
represented
by
fund
shares. The
fund's
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per

is
computed
at
the
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
normally
4
p.m.
ET,
each
day
the
NYSE
is
open
for
business.
However,
the
NAV
per
share
may
be
calculated
at
a
time
other
than
the
normal
close
of
the
NYSE
if
trading
on
the
NYSE
is
restricted,
if
the
NYSE
closes
earlier,
or
as
may
be
permitted
by
the
SEC.
Purchases
and
redemptions
of
fund
shares
are
transacted
at
the
next-computed
NAV
per

after
receipt
of
the

order
by

Indemnification
In

of
business,
the fund
may
provide
indemnification
in

with
its
officers
and
directors,
service
providers
and/or

VALUATION
The fund's
financial
instruments
are
valued
at
the
close
of
the
NYSE
and
are
reported
at
fair
value,
which
GAAP
defines
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
at
the
measurement
date.
Investments
in
the
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Target
2045
Fund
19
underlying
Price
Funds
are
valued
at
their
closing
NAV
per
share
on
the
day
of
valuation. Assets
and
liabilities
other
than
financial
instruments,
including
short-term
receivables
and
payables,
are
carried
at
cost,
or
estimated
realizable
value,
if
less,
which
approximates
fair
value.
The fund's
Board
of
Directors
(the
Board) has
designated
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
as
the fund's
valuation
designee
(Valuation
Designee).
Subject
to
oversight
by
the
Board,
the
Valuation
Designee
performs
the
following
functions
in
performing
fair
value
determinations:
assesses
and
manages
valuation
risks;
establishes
and
applies
fair
value
methodologies;
tests
methodologies;
and
evaluates
pricing
vendors
and
pricing
agents.
The
duties
and
responsibilities
of
the
Valuation
Designee
are
performed
by
its
Valuation
Committee.
The
Valuation Designee
provides
periodic
reporting
to
the
Board
on
valuation
matters.
Various
valuation
techniques
and
inputs
are
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
GAAP
establishes
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy
that
categorizes
the
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value:
Level
1 - quoted
prices
(unadjusted)
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
that
the
fund
can
access
at
the
reporting
date
Level
2 - inputs
other
than
Level
1
quoted
prices
that
are
observable,
either
directly
or
indirectly
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments
in
active
markets,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
financial
instruments
in
inactive
markets,
interest
rates
and
yield
curves,
implied
volatilities,
and
credit
spreads)
Level
3 - unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Valuation Designee's
assumptions
in
determining
fair
value)
Observable
inputs
are
developed
using
market
data,
such
as
publicly
available
information
about
actual
events
or
transactions,
and
reflect
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
for
which
market
data
are
not
available
and
are
developed
using
the
best
information
available
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
GAAP
requires
valuation
techniques
to
maximize
the
use
of
relevant
observable
inputs
and
minimize
the
use
of
unobservable
inputs.
When
multiple
inputs
are
used
to
derive
fair
value,
the
financial
instrument
is
assigned
to
the
level
within
the
fair
value
hierarchy
based
on
the
lowest-level
input
that
is
significant
to
the
fair
value
of
the
financial
instrument.
Input
levels
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level
but
rather

Generally,
no

since
the

intends
to continue
to
qualify

investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
and
distribute
to
shareholders
all
of
its taxable
income
and

Distributions
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations
may
differ
in
amount
or
character
from

income
and
realized
gains
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
The
fund
files
U.S.
federal,
state,
and
local
tax
returns
as
required.
The
fund's
tax
returns
are
subject
to
examination
by
the
relevant
tax
authorities
until
expiration
of
the
applicable
statute
of
limitations,
which
is
generally
three
years
after
the
filing
of
the
tax
return
but
which
can
be
extended
to
six
years
in
certain
circumstances.
Tax
returns
for
open
years
have
incorporated
no
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
a
provision
for
income
taxes.
Capital
accounts
within
the
financial
reporting
records
are
adjusted
for
permanent
book/tax
differences
to
reflect
tax
character
but
are
not
adjusted
for
temporary
differences.
The
permanent
book/tax
adjustments,
if
any,
have
no
impact
on
results
of
operations
or
net
assets.
The
permanent
book/tax

relate
primarily
to

Class
and
0.46%
to
0.30%
for
the
I

generally
declining
as
the

reduces
its
overall

path.
The
all-inclusive

fee
covers
investment

and
any
12b-1
fees
applicable
to
a

Differences
in
the
all-inclusive

in
expected
shareholder
servicing
expenses.
At

the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
portfolio
of
investments,
of
T.
Rowe
Price
Target
2045
Fund
(one
of
the
funds
constituting
T.
Rowe
Price
Retirement

Inc.,
referred
to
hereafter
as
the
"Fund")
as
of
May
31,
2024,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
ended
May
31,
2024,
the
statement
of
changes
in
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
May
31,
2024,
including
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
May
31,
2024
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
"financial
statements").
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
May
31,
2024,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
ended
May
31,
2024
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
five
years
in
the

in
conformity
with

generally
accepted
in

Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund's
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund's
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.

Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
May
31,
2024
by
correspondence
with
the
transfer
agent.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

Approvals
of

Management
Agreements
Each year,
the
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
of
the
T.

Price
Target
Funds
considers
the
continuation
of
the
investment
management
agreement
(Advisory
Contract)
between
each
T.
Rowe
Price
Target
Fund
and
its
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser).
In
that
regard,
at
a
meeting
held
on
March
11-12,
2024
(Meeting),
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
funds'
independent
directors
present
in
person
at
the
Meeting,
approved
the
continuation
of
the
funds'
Advisory
Contracts.
At
the
Meeting,
the
Board
considered
the
factors
and
reached
the
conclusions
described
below
relating
to
the
selection
of
the
Adviser
and
the
approval
of
the
Advisory
Contracts.
The
independent
directors
were
assisted
in
their
evaluation
of
the
Advisory
Contracts
by
independent
legal
counsel
from
whom
they
received
separate
legal
advice
and
with
whom
they
met
separately.
In
providing
information
to
the
Board,
the
Adviser
was
guided
by
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
by
independent
legal
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
independent
directors.
In
considering
and
approving
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contracts,
the
Board
considered
the
information
it
believed
was
relevant,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
information
discussed
below.
The
Board
considered
not
only
the
specific
information
presented
in
connection
with
the
Meeting
but
also
the
knowledge
gained
over
time
through
interaction
with
the
Adviser
about
various
topics.
The
Board
meets
regularly
and,
at
each
of
its
meetings,
covers
an
extensive
agenda
of
topics
and
materials
and
considers
factors
that
are
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds'
advisory
contracts,
including
performance
and
the
services
and
support
provided
to
the
funds
and
their shareholders.
Services
Provided
by
the
Adviser
The Board
considered
the
nature,
quality,
and
extent
of
the
services
provided
to
the
funds
by
the
Adviser.
These
services
included,
but
were
not
limited
to,
directing
the
funds'
investments
in
accordance
with
their
investment
programs
and
the
overall
management
of
the
funds'
portfolios,
as
well
as
a
variety
of
related
activities
such
as
financial,
investment
operations,
and
administrative
services;
compliance;
maintaining
the
funds'
records
and
registrations;
and
shareholder
communications.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
background
and
experience
of
the
Adviser's
senior
management
team
and
investment
personnel
involved
in
the
management
of
the
funds,
as
well
as
the

record.
The

concluded
that
the
information
it
considered
with
respect
to
the
nature,
quality,
and
extent
of
the
services
provided
by
the

as
well
as

other
factors
considered
at

Investment
Performance
of
the
Funds
The
Board
took
into
account
discussions
with
the
Adviser
and
detailed
reports
that
it
regularly
receives
throughout
the
year
on
relative
and
absolute
performance
for
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
In
connection
with
the
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
that
compared
each
fund's
total
returns,
as
well
as
a
wide
variety
of
other
previously
agreed-upon
performance
measures
and
market
data,
against
relevant
benchmark
indexes
and
peer
groups
of
funds
with
similar
investment
programs
for
various
periods
through
December
31,
2023.
Additionally,
the
Board
reviewed
each
fund's
relative
performance
information
as
of
September
30,
2023,
which
ranked
the
returns
of
the
fund's
Investor
Class
for
various
periods
against
a
universe
of
funds
with
similar
investment
programs
selected
by
Broadridge,
an
independent
provider
of
mutual
fund
data.
In
the
course
of
its
deliberations,
the
Board
considered
performance
information
provided
throughout
the
year
and
in
connection
with
the
Advisory
Contracts'
review
at
the
Meeting,
as
well
as
information
provided
during
investment
review
meetings
conducted
with
portfolio
managers
and
senior
investment
personnel
during
the
course
of
the
year
regarding
the
funds'
performance.
The
Board
also
considered
relevant
factors,
such
as
overall
market
conditions
and
trends
that
could
adversely
impact
each
fund's
performance,
the
length
of
each
fund's
performance
track
record,
and
how
closely
each
fund's
strategies
align
with
its
benchmarks
and
peer
groups.
With
respect
to
the
Target
2040
Fund,
the
Board
noted
that,
as
of
December
31,
2023,
the
fund
lagged
its
benchmark
for
certain
performance
periods
and
the
fund's
total
returns
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
for
certain
periods
when
compared
with
performance
peer
groups
selected
by
third-party
data
providers.
The
Adviser
provided
the
Board
with
information
addressing
the
Target
2040
Fund's
performance
relative
to
its
benchmarks
and
performance
peers
during
the
applicable
periods
and
the
primary
reasons
for
such
results.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser's
responses
relating
to
the
Target
2040
Fund's
performance
during
certain
of
the
evaluated
periods
and
noted
that
it
will
continue
to
monitor
the
fund's
performance.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
information
it
considered
with
respect
to
each
Target
Fund's
performance,
as
well
as
the
other
factors
considered
at
the
Meeting,
supported
the
Board's
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contracts.
Costs,
Benefits,
Profits,
and
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
detailed
information
regarding
the
revenues
received
by
the
Adviser
under
the
Advisory
Contracts
and
other
direct
and
indirect
benefits
that
the
Adviser
(and
its

may
have
realized
from
its
relationship
with

In
considering
soft-dollar
arrangements
pursuant
to
which
research
may
be
received
from
broker-dealers
that
execute
the
funds'
portfolio
transactions,
the
Board
noted
that
during

However,
effective
January

the

will
begin
using
brokerage
commissions
in
connection
with
certain
T.

securities
transactions
to
pay
for

when
permissible.
The
Board
received
information
on
the
estimated
costs
incurred
and
profits
realized
by
the
Adviser
from
managing
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
The
Board
also
reviewed
estimates
of
the
profits
realized
from
managing
the
Target

Target

Target
2030

Target

and

in
particular,
and
the
Board
concluded
that
the
Adviser's
profits
were
reasonable
in
light
of
the
services
provided
to
those
funds.
While
the
Board
did
not
review
information
regarding
profits
realized
from
managing
the
Target

2050
Fund,
Target

Fund,
Target

or
Target

Fund
in
particular
because
those
funds
had
either
not
achieved
sufficient
portfolio
asset
size
or
not
recognized
sufficient
revenues
to
produce
meaningful
profit
margin
percentages,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
Adviser's
profits
were
reasonable
in
light
of
the
overall
services
provided
to
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
The
Board
also
considered
whether
the
funds
benefit
under
the
fee
levels
set
forth
in
the
Advisory
Contracts
or
otherwise
from
any
economies
of
scale
realized
by
the
Adviser.
Under
each
fund's
Advisory
Contract,
the
fund
pays
the
Adviser
an
all-inclusive
management
fee,
which
is
based
on
the
fund's
average
daily
net
assets.
The
all-inclusive
management
fee
includes
investment
management
services
and
provides
for
the
Adviser
to
pay
all
of
the
fund's
ordinary,
recurring
operating
expenses
except
for
interest;
expenses
related
to
borrowings,
taxes,
and
brokerage;
nonrecurring,
extraordinary
expenses;
any
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses;
and
any
12b-1
fees
applicable
to
a
class.
In
accordance
with
a
predetermined
contractual
fee
schedule,
the
all-inclusive
management
fee
rate
for
the
T.
Rowe
Price
Target
Funds
generally
starts
to
decline
around
the
time
a
fund
begins
reducing
its
overall
stock
exposure
and
then
continues
to
decline
over
time
as
a
fund
nears
and
then
passes
its
predetermined
target
date.
The
Adviser
has
generally
implemented
an
all-inclusive
management
fee
structure
in
situations
where
a
fixed
total
expense
ratio
is
useful
for
purposes
of
providing
certainty
of
fees
and
expenses
for
the
investors
in
these
funds
and
historically
has
sought
to
set
the
all-inclusive
management
fee
rate
at
levels
below
the
expense
ratios
of
comparable
funds
to
take
into
account
potential
future
economies
of
scale.
The
all-inclusive
management
fee
structure
also
provides
greater
flexibility
to
make
investment
changes,
including
underlying
fund
changes,
while
maintaining
a
certain
expense
ratio
for investors.

In
addition,
the
Board
noted
that
the
funds
potentially
share
in
indirect
economies
of
scale
through
the
Adviser's
ongoing
investments
in
its
business
in
support
of
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
including
investments
in
trading
systems,
technology,
and
regulatory
support
enhancements,
and
the
ability
to
possibly
negotiate
lower
fee
arrangements
with
third-party
service
providers.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
advisory
fee
structure
for
the
funds
provide
for
a
reasonable
sharing
of
benefits
from
any
economies
of
scale
with
the
funds'
investors.
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
was
provided
with
information
regarding
industry
trends
in
management
fees
and
expenses.
Among
other
things,
the
Board
reviewed
data
for
peer
groups
that
were
compiled
by
Broadridge,
which
compared:
(i)
contractual
management
fees,
actual
management
fees,
nonmanagement
expenses,
and
total
expenses
of
the
Investor
Class
of
each

with

selected
by

(Investor

(ii)

of

and
(iii)
actual

and

of
the
Investor
Class
of
each
fund
with
a
broader
set
of
funds
within
the
Lipper
investment
classification
(Expense
Universe).
The
Board
considered
each
fund's
contractual
management
fee
rate,
actual
management
fee
rate,
and
total
expenses
(all
of
which
generally
reflect
the
all-inclusive
management
fee
rate
applicable
to
that
fund
and
do
not
deduct
the
operating
expenses
paid
by
the
Adviser
as
part
of
the
overall
management
fee)
in
comparison
with
the
information
for
the
Broadridge
peer
groups.
Broadridge
generally
constructed
the
peer
groups
by
seeking
the
most
comparable
funds
based
on
similar
investment
classifications
and
objectives,
expense
structure,
asset
size,
and
operating
components
and
attributes
and,
where
applicable,
ranked
funds
into
quintiles,
with
the
first
quintile
representing
the
funds
with
the
lowest
relative
expenses
and
the
fifth
quintile
representing
the
funds
with
the
highest
relative
expenses.
There
were
certain
funds
that
did
not
have
a
sufficient
number
of
funds
in
their
peer
group
to
rank
within
quintiles.
The
information
provided
to

indicated
that

The
Board
also
reviewed
the
fee
schedules
for
other
investment
portfolios
with
similar
mandates
that
are
advised
or
subadvised
by
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates,
including
separately
managed
accounts
for
institutional
and
individual
investors;
subadvised
funds;
and
other
sponsored
investment
portfolios,
including
collective
investment
trusts
and
pooled
vehicles
organized
and
offered
to
investors
outside
the
United
States.
Management
provided
the
Board
with
information
about
the
Adviser's
responsibilities
and
services
provided
to
subadvisory
and
other
institutional
account
clients,
including
information
about
how
the
requirements
and
economics
of
the
institutional
business
are
fundamentally
different
from
those
of
the
proprietary
mutual
fund
business.
The
Board
considered
information
showing
that
the
Adviser's
mutual
fund
business
is
generally
more
complex
from
a
business
and
compliance
perspective
than
its
institutional
account
business
and
considered
various
relevant
factors,
such
as
the
broader
scope
of
operations
and
oversight,
more
extensive
shareholder
communication
infrastructure,
greater
asset
flows,
heightened
business
risks,
and
differences
in
applicable
laws
and
regulations
associated
with
the
Adviser's
proprietary
mutual
fund
business.
In
assessing
the
reasonableness
of
each
fund's
management
fee
rate,
the
Board
considered
the
differences
in
the
nature
of
the
services
required
for
the
Adviser
to
manage
its
mutual
fund
business
versus
managing
a
discrete
pool
of
assets
as
a
subadviser
to
another
institution's
mutual
fund
or
for
an
institutional
account
and
that
the
Adviser
generally
performs
significant
additional
services
and
assumes
greater
risk
in
managing
the
funds
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds
than
it
does
for
institutional
account
clients,
including
subadvised
funds.

On
the
basis
of
the
information
provided
and
the
factors
considered,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
fees
paid
by
the
funds
under
the
Advisory
Contracts
are
reasonable.
Approvals
of
the
Advisory
Contracts
As
noted,
the
Board
approved
the
continuation
of
each
Target Fund's
Advisory
Contract.
No
single
factor
was
considered
in
isolation
or
to
be
determinative
to
the
decision.
Rather,
the
Board
concluded,
in
light
of
a
weighting
and
balancing
of
all
factors
considered,
that
it
was
in
the
best
interests
of
the
funds
and
their
shareholders
for
the
Board
to
approve
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contracts
(including
the
fees
to
be
charged
for
services
thereunder).
