Portfolio Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 58.6% of the average value of its portfolio.
The fund normally invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities that are capable of generating a positive environmental and/or social impact. 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. Equity securities may include common or preferred stocks. In addition, for purposes of these policies,
the fund’s investments include instruments that are linked to, or provide exposure to, equities or companies outside of the U.S., such as depositary receipts. 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 may invest in issuers of any market capitalization and in securities offerings that are not registered in the U.S. or denominated in the U.S. dollar. The fund may invest in issuers in emerging markets.
The fund selects companies for its portfolio using an in-house proprietary screening process. This screening process relies on the portfolio manager’s independent analysis of each issuer. The fund seeks to select companies for its portfolio that are, in the opinion of the portfolio manager, capable of achieving and sustaining above-average, long-term earnings and cash flow growth, and that are capable of generating a positive impact under one of the following impact categories:
· Environmental impact and/or
· Social impact.
For purposes of the fund’s 80% investment policy, a holding is considered an equity security that is capable of generating a positive environmental and/or social impact if a majority of the issuer’s current revenues are tied to either or both of the two impact categories. The materiality of positive impact is assessed according to specific, in-house metrics for every business activity that aligns to one of the impact categories.
In assessing each company under the impact categories, T. Rowe Price relies primarily on proprietary analysis incorporating company-provided data, direct engagement with companies and their management, and, in certain situations, research and analytics prepared by third-party data providers (for example, data on a company’s carbon emissions).
The environmental impact category encompasses companies with business activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs), promoting healthy ecosystems, or nurturing circular economies. Examples may include but are not limited to companies that manufacture electric vehicles or companies that manufacture building insulation that may lower carbon emissions.
The social impact category includes companies that employ business activities aimed at enabling social equity, improving health, or improving safety and security. Examples may include but are not limited to companies in emerging markets that seek to expand access to banking to lower income consumers, or companies that provide education or childcare solutions to support working mothers.
In addition, the fund’s adviser seeks to identify companies that are expected to deliver above average earnings and/or cashflows, over the long term based on a rigorous fundamental analysis, including an evaluation of a variety of criteria, including but not limited to:
· fertile industry structure and management quality, including expert capital allocation and value creation;
· innovative product or service offerings, such as new technology or a unique manufacturing process (for example, companies that may benefit from change, such as a new business model or regulatory change);
· medium to long-term earnings, cash flows, and returns; and/or
· overall financial health.
At times, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the same economic sector.
Risk Table - T. Rowe Price Global Impact Equity Fund |
Risk [Text Block] |
|---|---|
| Risk Lose Money [Member] | The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. |
| Impact investing | Impact investing: The fund may not succeed in generating a positive environmental and/or social impact. The fund’s incorporation of environmental and/or social impact criteria into its investment process may cause the fund to perform differently from a fund that uses a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate environmental and/or social impact criteria or relies solely or primarily on financial metrics. In addition, the fund’s focus on impact investing may cause the fund to forego opportunities to buy certain securities that otherwise might be advantageous, or to sell securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to continue to hold these securities. The definition of “impact investing” varies according to an investor’s beliefs and values. There is no guarantee that T. Rowe Price’s definition of impact investing, security selection criteria, or investment judgment will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor. To the extent T. Rowe Price references third party research and analytics in conducting its proprietary analysis, there is no guarantee that the data will be accurate. |
| Stock investing | Stock investing: Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of stocks held by the fund may decline due to general weakness or volatility in the stock markets in which the fund invests or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry. |
| International investing | International investing: Non-U.S. securities tend to be more volatile and have lower overall liquidity than investments in U.S. securities and may lose value because of adverse local, political, social, or economic developments overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In addition, investments outside the U.S. are subject to settlement practices and regulatory and financial reporting standards that differ from those of the U.S. The risks of investing outside the U.S. are heightened for any investments in emerging markets, which are susceptible to greater volatility than investments in developed markets. |
| Market conditions | Market conditions: The value of the fund’s investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting an issuer held by the fund, particular industries, or the overall securities markets. A variety of factors can increase the volatility of the fund’s holdings and markets generally, including economic, political, or regulatory developments, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues (such as the coronavirus pandemic) and related governmental and public responses (including sanctions). Certain events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others. Government intervention in markets may impact interest rates, market volatility, and security pricing. These adverse developments may cause broad declines in market value due to short-term market movements or for significantly longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. |
| Currency exposure | Currency exposure: Because the fund is normally heavily exposed to foreign currencies, the fund is subject to the significant risk that it could experience losses based solely on the weakness of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar and changes in the exchange rates between such currencies and the U.S. dollar. |
| Emerging markets | Emerging markets: Investments in emerging market countries are subject to greater risk and overall volatility than investments in the U.S. and other developed markets. Emerging market countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, less developed legal and regulatory regimes, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to the risks associated with investing outside the U.S., emerging markets are more susceptible to governmental interference, political and economic uncertainty, local taxes and restrictions on the fund’s investments, less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity, and more volatile currency exchange rates. |
| Sector exposure | Sector exposure: Issuers in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly. |
| Active management | Active management: The fund’s overall investment program and holdings selected by the fund’s investment adviser may underperform the broad markets, relevant indices, or other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies. |
| Cybersecurity breaches | Cybersecurity breaches: The fund could be harmed by intentional cyberattacks and other cybersecurity breaches, including unauthorized access to the fund’s assets, confidential information, or other proprietary information. In addition, a cybersecurity breach could cause one of the fund’s service providers or financial intermediaries to suffer unauthorized data access, data corruption, or loss of operational functionality. |
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The fund’s performance information represents only past performance (before and after taxes) and is not necessarily an indication of future results.
The following bar chart illustrates how much returns can differ from year to year by showing calendar year returns and the best and worst calendar quarter returns during those years for the fund’s I Class. Returns for other share classes vary since they have different expenses.
The fund’s return for the nine months ended 9/30/24 was 12.74%.

The following table shows the average annual total returns for each class of the fund that has been in operation for at least one full calendar year. The fund’s performance information included in the table is compared with a regulatory required index that represents an overall securities market (Regulatory Benchmark). In addition, the table may also include one or more indexes that more closely aligns to the fund’s investment strategy (Strategy Benchmark(s)).
In addition, the table shows hypothetical after-tax returns to demonstrate how taxes paid by a shareholder may influence returns. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a 401(k) account or an IRA. After-tax returns are shown only for the I Class and will differ for other share classes.
