Rowe Price Global Real Estate Fund, Inc. 2025-03-01 Global Real Estate Fund Investment Objective(s) The fund seeks to provide long-term growth through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. Fees and Expenses This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the fund. You may also incur brokerage commissions and other charges when buying or selling shares of the fund, which are not reflected in the table or example below. Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment) 20 0 0 Annual fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0068 0.0068 0.0068 0 0 0.0025 0.0090 0.0053 0.0077 0.0158 0.0121 0.0170 -0.0063 -0.0048 -0.0055 0.0095 0.0073 0.0115 Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The example also assumes that any current expense limitation arrangement remains in place for the period noted in the previous table; therefore, the figures have been adjusted to reflect fee waivers or expense reimbursements only in the periods for which the expense limitation arrangement is expected to continue. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 97 372 738 1768 75 286 570 1378 117 425 817 1914 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 31.9% of the average value of its portfolio. Portfolio Turnover 0.319 Principal Investment Strategies The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of real estate companies throughout the world, including the U.S. The fund’s definition of real estate companies is broad and includes any company that derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from, or commits at least 50% of assets to, real estate activities. 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. For purposes of selecting investments, the fund’s investments in the real estate industry may include (but are not limited to) the following:· Real estate investment trusts (REITs);· real estate operating companies;· brokers, developers, and builders of residential, commercial, and industrial properties;· property management firms;· finance, mortgage, and mortgage servicing firms;· construction supply and equipment manufacturing companies; and· firms dependent on real estate holdings for revenues and profits, including lodging, leisure, timber, mining, and agriculture companies.A significant portion of the fund’s U.S. investments is expected to be in REITs. REITs pool money to invest in properties (equity REITs) or mortgages (mortgage REITs). The fund’s investments in REITs are generally made in equity REITs.The fund will not own real estate directly and will have no restrictions on the size of companies selected for investment. Up to 20% of the fund’s total assets may be invested in companies that either derive a substantial portion of revenues or profits from servicing real estate firms, or that are unrelated to the real estate business.Stock selection is based on fundamental, bottom-up analysis that generally seeks to identify high-quality companies with both good appreciation prospects and income-producing potential. Factors considered by the portfolio manager in selecting real estate companies include one or more of the following: relative valuation; free cash flow; undervalued assets; quality and experience of management; type of real estate owned; and the nature of a company’s real estate activities. Principal Risks The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. Real estate companies: A fund that focuses its investments in specific industries or sectors is more susceptible to adverse developments affecting those industries and sectors than a more broadly diversified fund. Because the fund invests significantly in real estate companies, the fund may perform poorly during a downturn in the real estate industry. Real estate companies can be adversely affected by, among other things, general and local economic conditions, interest rate movements, changes in zoning or tax laws or other government regulations, overbuilding, intense competition, and demographic trends such as population shifts. REIT investing: REITs must satisfy specific requirements for favorable tax treatment and can involve unique risks in addition to the risks generally affecting the real estate industry. REITs are dependent upon the quality of their management, may have limited financial resources and heavy cash flow dependency, may be highly leveraged, may not be diversified geographically or by property type, or may own a limited number of properties. Foreign investing: Non-U.S. securities tend to be more volatile and have lower overall liquidity and trading volume 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. Further, securities of non-U.S. issuers are subject to trading markets with potential governmental interference, varying regulatory, auditing, and accounting standards, and settlement and clearance practices that differ from those of U.S. issuers. Investment in non-U.S. securities also carries currency risk. Any attempts to hedge currency risk could be unsuccessful. Such investments may have higher transaction costs compared with U.S. markets. The fund’s overall foreign investing risk is increased to the extent it has exposure to emerging markets. 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. Interest rates: The fund is subject to greater interest rate risk when compared to other stock funds due to the chance that periods of rising interest rates will cause the overall cost of borrowing to increase, which could cause declines in the prices of stocks of real estate companies. 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. 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. 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.
