5 As of December 31, 2018 ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES Portfolio Construction: There is no guarantee that the investment will remain within the anticipated ranges of exposure. Active Share is a holdings based measure of active management representing the percentage of a portfolio s holdings that differ from those in its benchmark. Compared to tracking error, which measures the standard deviation of the difference in a manager s returns versus the Benchmark returns, Active Share allows investors to get a clearer understanding of what a manager is doing to drive performance, rather than drawing conclusions from observed returns. The greater the difference between the asset composition of a product and its benchmark, the greater the active share is. Unless indicated otherwise the source of all data is T. Rowe Price.
