What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The fund seeks to provide capital growth, current income, and preservation of capital through a portfolio of stocks and fixed income securities.

Strategy, summarised

The fund maintains a balanced allocation of approximately 65% stocks and 35% fixed income, adjusting the mix based on economic outlook; it selects stocks by examining relative value across growth and value styles, market caps, and geographies, while bonds are chosen from investment-grade and lower-rated securities across government, corporate, and mortgage-backed markets, with duration and credit positioning guided by inflation, interest rate, and earnings forecasts. The fund gains additional exposure through investments in other T. Rowe Price mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Because security selection depends on the adviser's assessment of value and economic conditions, portfolio composition may shift materially toward particular sectors or markets that appear attractive at any given time.

Cumulative return, last three years· Jul 2023 – May 2026

Volatility over the last 12 months: 8.69%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

The 2 share classes hold the same portfolio

Share classExpense ratio1 year3 years5 yearsWorst fall
0.60%+18.47%+52.68%+42.29%-7.08%
0.47%+18.61%+53.30%+43.26%-7.06%

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.98pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.20pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

These three overlap — one holding can be in arrears and paying in kind at once — so they are shown separately and never summed.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying about half as much.

1.02 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

Interest rates63%
Credit spreads37%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. This filer signs its rate and credit disclosures differently; the direction shown follows its interest-rate filing, and a negative reading is the least-supported figure here.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
