3 Investment solutions designed for a multifaceted retirement landscape Today, defined contribution (DC) plan sponsors face an increasingly multifaceted retirement landscape. Multiple factors, including fiduciary considerations, regulatory changes, participant behavior, and plan-specific priorities, converge in the decision-making process. To help optimize participants outcomes, it is critical that sponsors have a consultative partner that can understand their objectives both from a plan design and an investment perspective. T. Rowe Price has nearly years of defined contribution experience, and we have gained valuable insights from our close to 2 million participants, including their behavior, preferences, and investment tendencies. Our knowledge of the participant landscape helps to inform and shape our asset allocation philosophy. For more than 20 years, we have managed asset allocation portfolios, seeking to add value through portfolio construction, risk management, and glidepath design. A long-term approach underlies this philosophy. This experience has also enabled us to pioneer target date solutions designed to meet plan sponsors primary investment objectives and optimize participant behavior. T. Rowe Price has demonstrated consistent growth in the DC plan and target date markets.

4 A disciplined approach to asset allocation innovation T. Rowe Price s target date solutions seek to improve participants asset allocation profiles. DESIGNED WITH PARTICIPANT BEHAVIOR IN MIND Our asset allocation expertise and breadth of participant experience helped us design target date solutions that address behavioral challenges including proper asset allocation, diversification, and rebalancing and market uncertainties. Each solution offers a one-step, professionally diversified portfolio with an asset allocation that continues to shift for 30 years after the target retirement date. More Than 25 Years of Asset Allocation Innovation Since 1990, T. Rowe Price has developed numerous asset allocation solutions to meet a diverse set of client objectives Asset Allocation Committee Created 1990 Spectrum Growth and Spectrum Income Funds 1994 Personal Strategy Funds 1996 Spectrum International Fund 2001 College Savings Plans 2002 Retirement Funds 2008 Retirement Hybrid Trusts 2010 Real Assets Fund 2012 Retirement Trusts 2013 Global Allocation Fund 2013 Target Funds 2015 Retirement I Funds 1990s: Created Asset Allocation Committee and first target-risk products 2000s: Introduced first target date series and commingled trust vehicle 2010s: Expanded target date offerings to include multiple trust and glide-path options 3 TARGET DATE SOLUTIONS FROM T. ROWE PRICE

5 Consistent and reliable target date investment framework Our target date solutions share common attributes: philosophy, process and people, global research platform, and portfolio construction. PHILOSOPHY On the highest level, we believe that retirement accounts are designed to achieve two primary goals: accumulation of wealth prior to retirement and conversion of wealth to income during retirement. We also believe that the risk of participants outliving their retirement assets should be the key driver behind our management of retirement portfolios. To help reduce this risk, we use time horizon as the main determinant of asset allocation throughout the participant s life. We employ active management and modest tactical asset allocation shifts in an attempt to enhance long-term performance. Since we actively invest across a wide range of asset classes, we can create broadly diversified portfolios to provide the opportunity for enhanced returns while reducing volatility.

6 PROCESS AND PEOPLE The investment process for our target date solutions reflects the firm s broader investment culture a commitment to fundamental research and close collaboration among seasoned professionals in order to deliver investment management excellence. This process begins with the firm s Asset Allocation Committee a team of senior investment professionals that helps to guide more than $200 billion 1 in asset allocation portfolios. The committee approves all strategic and tactical asset allocation changes for our suite of target date solutions. Committee members are chosen from among senior managers in both the Fixed Income and Equity Divisions, and each has significant investment experience. The target date portfolio management team implements the Asset Allocation Committee s recommendations for each of the firm s target date solutions and is responsible for the day-to-day management, ongoing research, and oversight of these products. Asset Allocation Committee Approves all strategic and tactical asset allocation changes within target date solutions. Select committee members include: ¾ Head of Asset Allocation Sebastien Page, 19 years of investment experience ¾ Co-Chair of Asset Allocation Charles M. Shriver, 17 years of investment experience ¾ Co-Chair of Asset Allocation David R. Giroux, 18 years of investment experience ¾ Chief Investment Officer Brian Rogers, 37 years of investment experience ¾ Co-Portfolio Manager Jerome Clark, 24 years of investment experience Asset Allocation Committee Individual Portfolios Target Date Investment Management Team Research Target date portfolio management team Implements the Asset Allocation Committee s recommendations for each target date solution and conducts ongoing research for all of T. Rowe Price s asset allocation products. ¾ Portfolio Manager Jerome Clark, 24 years of investment experience ¾ Portfolio Manager Wyatt Lee, 19 years of investment experience Individual portfolios Represent distinct investment strategies that underlie each of the target date solutions. n T.

Rowe Price WYATT LEE, CFA Portfolio Manager B.A., Vanderbilt University M.B.A., Washington University 19 years of investment experience 17 years with T. Rowe Price Highly experienced, focused portfolio management teams average 21 years of investment experience and 17 years tenure with T. Rowe Price. GLOBAL RESEARCH PLATFORM As with all T. Rowe Price investment strategies, fundamental, proprietary research is integral to the investment management process for our target date solutions. Knowledge gathered through on-site company visits; conversations with company management; and meetings with suppliers, competitors, distributors, and clients Rigorous fundamental analysis done at regional, sector, industry, and company levels Insights shared across investment styles and strategies, allowing portfolio managers to quickly identify and pursue opportunities for clients A byproduct of our proprietary, research-intensive approach is that the portfolio management team enjoys real-time holdings transparency for each of the investment strategies underlying our target date solutions. We believe this transparency helps promote both style consistency and long-term investment success. INVEST WITH CONFIDENCE 6

8 DISCIPLINED PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION At their core, our target date solutions are composed of a complementary range of diversified investment strategies. Each strategy is led by highly experienced portfolio managers who are supported by the firm s global research platform of more than 200 analysts. TACTICAL ASSET ALLOCATION We believe that modest tactical tilts can enhance participant outcomes. Our Asset Allocation Committee determines tactical allocation decisions monthly or more frequently, if necessary. Its approach is largely qualitative and valuation-based, with attention to a broad scope of potential risk and return scenarios. CONSISTENT PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFICATION T. Rowe Price s target date strategies are among the most diversified in the industry.

ROWE PRICE

9 Two glide paths designed to address the two primary sponsor objectives While the underlying investment philosophy and tactical allocation decisions supported by our global research platform are consistent across our solutions, we offer two target date glide paths to address distinct client objectives: lifetime income withdrawals during retirement or a moderate withdrawal horizon. Our research indicates that plan participants face three primary risks: market risk, inflation risk, and longevity risk. Our target date approach strives to balance and prioritize these risks and to maintain sufficient equity exposure to support the duration of retirement income needs. Market Risk Longevity Risk Inflation Risk Target date managers must strike a balance between the three investment risks: market risk, inflation risk, and longevity risk The primary target date objective should drive the relative emphasis among the investment risks within the glide-path design A glide path focused on lifetime income will tilt more toward offsetting inflation and longevity risks A glide path focused on a moderate withdrawal horizon will tilt more toward offsetting market risk INVEST WITH CONFIDENCE 8

10 The retirement glide path seeks to promote accumulation prior to retirement while supporting lifetime income withdrawals after retirement. To address inflation and longevity risks, the glide path maintains significant equity exposure and emphasizes capital appreciation. These investments may be appropriate for clients who are willing to pursue greater growth potential over the long term in exchange for higher market risk. Retirement Glide Path Percent (%) YEARS TO RETIREMENT YEARS PAST RETIREMENT Retirement 2060 Retirement 2055 Retirement 2050 Retirement 2045 Retirement 20 Retirement 2035 Retirement 2030 Retirement 2025 Retirement 2020 Retirement 2015 Retirement 2010 Retirement 2005 Stocks Real Assets Equity Non-U.S. Equity U.S. Equity Bonds U.S. Investment-Grade Int l. and High Yield Inflation Focused The retirement age is assumed to be age 65. The Retirement Balanced portfolio for each product does not follow the glide path and will maintain a static, neutral allocation of approximately % stock- and 60% bond-related investments. This chart shows the neutral allocations for the funds as of January 1, The allocation for each fund may vary from the long-term neutral allocation. Call for the most current asset allocation. The principal value of the target date strategies is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the target date, which is the approximate year an investor plans to retire (assumed to be age 65) and likely stop making new investments in the fund/trust. If an investor plans to retire significantly earlier or later than age 65, the target date strategies may not be an appropriate investment even if the investor is retiring on or near the target date. The target date strategies allocations among a broad range of underlying T. Rowe Price stock and bond portfolios will change over time. The Retirement Funds, Retirement Trusts, and Retirement Hybrid Trusts (Retirement Strategies) emphasize potential capital appreciation during the early phases of retirement asset accumulation, balance the need for appreciation with the need for income as retirement approaches, and focus on supporting an income stream over a long-term retirement withdrawal horizon. The Target Funds (Target Retirement Strategies) emphasize asset accumulation prior to retirement, balance the need for reduced market risk and income as retirement approaches, and focus on supporting an income stream over a moderate postretirement withdrawal horizon. The target date strategies are not designed for a lump-sum redemption at the target date and do not guarantee a particular level of income. The key difference between the Retirement Strategies and the Target Retirement Strategies is the overall allocation to equity; although they each maintain significant allocations to equities both prior to and after the target date, the Retirement Strategies maintain a higher equity allocation, which can result in greater volatility over shorter time horizons. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. 9 TARGET DATE SOLUTIONS FROM T. ROWE PRICE

11 The target glide path seeks to promote accumulation prior to retirement while supporting income withdrawals over a moderate postretirement time horizon. To address market risk, the target glide path maintains a more moderate equity exposure in favor of fixed income investments in order to reduce the risk of principal loss around and after the target retirement date. These investments may be appropriate for clients who are willing to accept more modest growth potential in exchange for potentially lower market volatility around the target date. Target Glide Path Percent (%) Target Target 2055 DESIGNED TO ADDRESS TWO PRIMARY SPONSOR OBJECTIVES The retirement glide path has a higher equity allocation to address inflation and longevity risks.

13 Implementation experience and expertise T. Rowe Price uses its experience as a pioneer of target date investment solutions to help sponsors successfully integrate these strategies into existing plans. A WIDE ARRAY OF APPLICATIONS Our experience implementing target date solutions in diverse plans allows us to anticipate participants needs, provide meaningful assistance, and share firsthand learning with sponsors. Auto-investment at conversion Having pioneered and advocated for today s automated solutions, including the use of target date investment options as qualified default investment alternatives (QDIAs), T. Rowe Price has emerged as a leader in the target date conversion process. Our experience managing these conversions since 2005 has led to a proven, results-driven process for sponsors looking to help participants achieve a more optimal asset allocation. Since 2005, 48% of conversions by T. Rowe Price full-service clients used the auto-investment strategy. 1 When clients employed target date investments in the auto-investment strategy at conversion, 71% of participant assets 2 remained invested in target date products 18 months later. Streamlined mergers and acquisitions Retirement plan investment options can vary widely among companies, making mapping of like-investments an imperfect process. The auto-investment strategy streamlines plan integration by focusing on a single diversified investment eligible for QDIA status. Investment lineup changes When eliminating or closing investment options, target date funds as a default option can assist in the process. For example, when a sector fund is removed, there is an opportunity to encourage participants to use diversified investments by defaulting participants who have not made an investment election into a target date fund. Automatic-enrollment opportunities Plan sponsors can positively impact plan participation and asset allocation through auto-enrollment. For plans that offer autoenrollment, T. Rowe Price has long advocated using target date investment solutions as the default option, an approach supported by the 2006 Pension Protection Act and associated regulatory guidance. Plan sponsors may also consider employing a periodic reenrollment strategy for nonparticipating employees and automatic increases for all participating employees. Automatic-reset programs A one-time reset of participant portfolios with an appropriately communicated opt-out opportunity is an accepted practice to offer an automatic way to invest in a diversified portfolio such as a target date fund. Periodic resetting of undiversified participant portfolios (such as those that have high concentrations in one investment position), while not a common practice today, may present opportunities for plan sponsors to target specific participant investing situations. 1 Includes client conversions and merger and acquisition activities from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2015, on the T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services OMNI recordkeeping platform. 2 The statistic is based on 171 conversions completed for T. Rowe Price using the Retirement Funds auto-investment strategy from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2015, on the T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services OMNI recordkeeping platform.
