1 SEMIANNual REPORT November 30, 2017 T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds The funds invest for growth, income, or both through diversified portfolios of stocks, bonds, and money market securities.

2 T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds HIGHLIGHTS Global stocks rallied over the past six months as the global economic recovery broadened and corporate earnings improved worldwide. U.S. investment-grade bonds edged slightly higher, while high yield bonds advanced amid buoyant demand for higher-risk assets. Non-U.S. dollar-denominated debt outpaced high yield as the dollar weakened against most developed markets currencies. The Personal Strategy Funds posted solid absolute returns in the six months ended November 30, Each fund outperformed its respective combined index benchmark and Lipper peer group. Synchronized global growth this year has brightened the macro and profitability outlooks for most regions. However, current valuations in global stock markets and for riskier assets in general largely reflect this view and may not sufficiently reflect risks, including the prospective tightening in monetary stimulus worldwide next year or continued political uncertainty in many countries. Given our current outlook, we believe the Personal Strategy Funds broad diversification and ability to exploit investment opportunities in various sectors and regions should benefit shareholders in a range of potential market environments.

3 T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds Manager s Letter Fellow Shareholders Stocks and bonds worldwide strengthened over the past six months as the global economic upswing that began at the end of 2016 continued to gain momentum in The major U.S. stock market indexes repeatedly hit record highs as corporate earnings rose and investors anticipated that corporate tax cuts would boost profits even further. Stocks in international developed and emerging markets posted strong returns as growth in Europe and Japan accelerated and global demand lifted commodity exporters in the developing world. In fixed income, U.S. investment-grade bonds edged higher, while high yield bonds gained on rising oil prices and steady demand for higher-yielding assets. Non-U.S. dollar-denominated debt advanced as the dollar fell against most developed markets currencies. Against this positive backdrop, the Personal Strategy Funds generated modest absolute returns over the six months ended November 30, 2017, and outperformed their respective combined index benchmarks. Market Environment Signs of a global economic recovery grew more plentiful over the past six months, pointing to the broadest synchronized upswing the world economy has experienced in the last decade, as the International Monetary Fund stated in July. The S&P 500 Index and other U.S. stock market indexes hit record levels amid better-than-expected earnings and optimism about tax changes and other pro-business policies under President Donald Trump. Small-cap stocks outperformed their largeand mid-cap counterparts. The U.S. economy expanded at an upwardly revised 3.2% annual rate in the third quarter of 2017, its strongest 1

4 growth pace in three years, raising hopes that the economy may be emerging from the modest growth trend seen since the recession ended in The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in March and June as the central bank continued to unwind its accommodative monetary policy in place since the 2008 financial crisis. Major Index Returns (The Fed raised rates for the third time this Six-Month Period Ended 11/30/17 year on December 13, S&P 500 Index 10.89% 2017, after our reporting Russell 3000 Index period ended.)

Japanese stocks rallied as the country s economy gained steam. Japan s gross domestic product expanded an upwardly revised 2.5% annual pace in the third quarter, marking the country s seventh straight quarter of growth and longest expansion in 16 years. However, inflation in Japan is still far from its official target, and years of ultra-loose monetary policy have so far failed to boost weak household spending. Emerging markets stocks were bolstered by signs of improving global demand, rising corporate earnings, and strong growth in China. 2

5 8% U.S. investment-grade bonds generated slightly positive returns. Treasury yields decreased in the first half of our reporting period but retraced their declines in subsequent months as investors anticipated that the Fed would Interest Rate Levels 10-Year Treasury Note 5-Year Treasury Note 90-Day Treasury Bill 11/30/16 2/17 5/17 8/17 11/30/17 Source: Federal Reserve Board. gradually tighten policy and that inflation would slowly pick up. Most Treasury yields ended the period at higher levels than at the start, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note increasing to 2.42% at the end of November from 2.21% at the end of May. High yield bonds outperformed their investment-grade peers as rising oil prices brightened the outlook for the energy companies that compose a large part of the high yield market. Low yields on sovereign bonds in most developed markets outside the U.S. also fueled demand for credit, including high yield bonds. Non-U.S. dollar-denominated bonds in developed markets gained as the dollar fell against most developed markets currencies over the period, continuing a depreciation trend that began in January. Over the past six months, the euro and British pound strengthened roughly 6% and 5% against the dollar, respectively, while the Japanese yen slightly declined. The gains in most global currencies versus the dollar helped offset declining prices of government bonds in local currency terms as yields increased in many developed markets. Dollar-denominated emerging markets bonds advanced as relatively higher interest rates in developing countries drew yield-seeking investors. 3

6 Portfolio Review and Positioning Asset Allocation The Personal Strategy Funds have the ability to overweight or underweight allocations to asset classes or sub-asset classes based on the views of the T. Rowe Price Asset Allocation Committee. The committee meets every month to evaluate economic, market, and earnings trends and to look for opportunities over a 6- to 18-month investment horizon. We typically seek to overweight segments of the market that we believe are undervalued and underweight areas that appear fully valued. Several years of strong performance have left valuations at or above fair value in many asset classes, which has decreased the number of compelling investment opportunities. However, we continue to find opportunities in select areas where valuations appear more attractive and have reduced allocations where we see potential risks. As of November 30, 2017, we are underweight stocks relative to bonds. We maintained this allocation over the reporting period given our view of extended stock valuations, especially in the U.S., and elevated earnings expectations in an environment of modest economic growth. On the other hand, we believe that bonds offer downside protection despite low yields and extended duration. Though interest rates globally are on track to gradually rise in the coming months, inflation remains tame in most markets. Stocks We ended the period overweight to international stocks relative to U.S. stocks. We increased our overweight allocation over the past six months given our view that valuations in the U.S. appear extended relative to stocks in overseas markets, which are benefiting from stronger economic growth, positive earnings trends, and greater exposure to improving global trade. Over the summer, we gradually moved our allocation to emerging markets stocks relative to developed markets stocks from underweight to neutral. Our positioning shift reflected a lower risk of protectionist trade policies being implemented by the Trump administration, as well as supportive economic and earnings growth trends in emerging markets. While the runup in emerging markets stocks has pushed valuations slightly above their historical averages, they are still attractively valued versus their developed markets peers. 4

7 We maintained an underweight to real assets equities over the period. This stance reflects our continued caution regarding long-term imbalances between global energy supply and demand and our expectations for a slowdown in China, whose government has prioritized slower but more sustainable economic growth in the coming years. As for real estate investment trusts, we believe that they are fairly valued and vulnerable to rising interest rates. We gradually increased our overweight to U.S. small-cap stocks and associated underweight to large-cap stocks as small-cap stocks lagged large-caps for much of this year, making their relative valuations more attractive as a result. Moreover, despite the strong outperformance of large-cap stocks, market leadership has been driven by a few technology and consumer-related companies. We ended the period neutral between U.S. growth and value stocks after reducing our overweight to growth stocks over the summer following a period of significant outperformance. We eliminated our underweight to value, as value-focused sectors such as financials and energy could benefit from increased spending, tax cuts, and deregulation though we believe that low economic growth could restrain the impact of such measures. Bonds We moved to an underweight allocation to high yield bonds relative to U.S. investment-grade bonds in August, departing from a previously neutral stance as valuations became less compelling following a period of strong performance in the high yield sector. Despite the yield advantage that high yield debt has over investment-grade bonds, we believed that high yield bonds offered limited upside potential, particularly if energy prices were to fall or other risks materialized. Our neutral positioning between emerging markets bonds and U.S. investment-grade bonds stayed constant as strong performance for emerging markets bonds in 2017 made their valuations less appealing. While developing economies are broadly in better fiscal shape than they were just a few years ago, individual countries differ widely in their fiscal positions, political stability, and reform progress. We stayed underweight to nondollar bonds relative to U.S. investment-grade bonds and increased the size of our underweight in the fall. Developed markets bonds outside the U.S. have a less attractive outlook due to their low yields and long duration, and European bonds are at risk for capital losses as the European Central 5

8 Bank draws closer to scaling back its quantitative easing program. Moreover, yields on U.S. investment-grade bonds are the highest among developed markets, and the Fed is expected to continue gradually tightening policy in the coming years. Recent Changes to Underlying Investment Strategies At the end of 2017, we introduced three new investment strategies to the Personal Strategy Funds: the Floating Rate Fund, the U.S. Treasury Long-Term Fund, and the International Bond Fund (USD hedged). These changes are being implemented within the fixed income allocation across the three Personal Strategy Funds, and the process of fully integrating these changes is expected to occur over an extended period of time. The Floating Rate Fund seeks to generate high current income with a lesser focus on capital appreciation by investing in floating rate bank loans and bonds. The U.S. Treasury Long-Term Fund aims to generate a high level of income through investments in long-term U.S. Treasury securities. This fund s weighted average maturity typically ranges from 15 to 20 years but may range from 10 to 30 years. Finally, the International Bond Fund (USD hedged) invests in investmentgrade, nondollar-denominated bonds, most of which are hedged to the U.S. dollar. This fund is intended to give U.S. investors exposure to potentially higher yields or favorable changes in interest rates in overseas bond markets, which often move independently of each other and U.S. markets. The new underlying strategies are intended to increase the diversification benefits within the fixed income allocation for each of the Personal Strategy Funds. By incorporating a broader opportunity set within fixed income, the changes are designed to increase the funds ability to perform well in a variety of market conditions. However, the addition of these strategies will not change the overall strategic, or neutral, allocations assigned to the broad asset classes for each fund or its respective benchmark. 6

9 Performance Comparison Personal Strategy Income Fund The investment objective of the Personal Strategy Income Fund is to generate the highest total return consistent with a primary emphasis on income and a secondary emphasis on capital appreciation. The fund s typical asset mix is 40% stocks, 55% bonds and cash, and 5% alternatives. The stock and bond allocations can vary as much as 10 percentage points above or below these targets, while the alternatives allocation can vary as much as five percentage points above or below its target. As shown in the Performance Comparison table, the Personal Strategy Income Fund returned 5.36% for the six months ended November 30, 2017, outperforming its combined index benchmark and Lipper peer Performance Comparison Six-Month Period Ended 11/30/17 Total Return Personal Strategy Income Fund 5.36% Personal Strategy Income Fund I Class 5.42 Morningstar Moderately Conservative Target Risk Index 4.55 Combined Index Benchmark 4.54 Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Index 3.66 For a definition of the benchmarks, please see the glossary at the end of this report. group index. The Personal Strategy Income Fund s performance versus its peers over longer time periods remained solid: The fund is in the top decile of its Lipper peer group for the trailing 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. Based on cumulative total return, Lipper ranked the fund 7 of 353, 16 of 314, 9 of 287, and 12 of 214 mixed-asset target allocation conservative funds for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, ended November 30, (Past performance cannot guarantee future results.) Security selection in the fund s underlying investments contributed the most to relative performance. Favorable security selection among the fund s U.S. large-cap value and U.S. large-cap growth stocks added the most to relative returns, as these underlying strategies outpaced their respective benchmarks. Selection within the fund s international 7

10 and emerging markets equity strategies was also positive. A modest allocation to alternative investments through a hedge fund-of-funds also helped relative performance. On the other hand, selection in emerging markets bonds and small-cap stocks detracted from relative returns, as both underlying strategies trailed their respective benchmarks over the period. The inclusion of diversifying sectors, especially those within fixed income, also helped relative performance. Our exposure to nondollardenominated bonds in overseas markets lifted relative returns as most global currencies strengthened against the dollar. Additionally, our exposure to emerging markets and high yield bonds contributed to relative performance amid strong risk appetite and rising oil prices, which benefited the energy companies that dominate the high yield market. Conversely, an allocation to real assets weighed on relative returns, as this asset class lagged broader equity markets over the period. Tactical decisions to overweight and underweight asset classes detracted from relative returns. Our underweight to stocks relative to bonds held back our performance versus the benchmark as stronger economic and corporate earnings growth worldwide drove a rally in global stock markets, while bonds produced more muted returns. Microsoft, Amazon.com, and Facebook ranked among the fund s top contributors to absolute returns as investors piled into fast-growing technology companies. Banks and industrial companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Boeing also performed well as investors bet that they would benefit from anticipated tax cuts, looser regulations, and infrastructure spending. Among non-u.s. stocks, Chinese Internet companies Alibaba and Tencent produced outsized gains as both solidified their dominance in China s online economy. Large detractors included tobacco company Philip Morris International and drugmaker Merck, whose respective shares slumped after each reported disappointing third-quarter earnings, and utility PG&E, whose shares fell amid concerns about its potential liability in deadly wildfires that struck Northern California in October.

11 Personal Strategy Balanced Fund The investment objective of the Personal Strategy Balanced Fund is to generate the highest total return consistent with an equal emphasis on income and capital appreciation. The fund s typical asset mix is 60% stocks, 35% bonds and cash, and 5% alternatives. The stocks and bonds allocations can vary as much as 10 percentage points above or below these targets, while the alternatives allocation can vary as much as five percentage points above or below its target. This asset allocation entails higher risk but a higher potential return than the Personal Strategy Income Fund over the long term. As shown in the Performance Comparison table, the Personal Strategy Balanced Fund returned 7.52% for the six months ended November 30, 2017, outperforming its combined index benchmark and Lipper peer group index. The Personal Strategy Balanced Fund s performance versus its peers over longer time periods remained solid: The fund is in the top decile of its Lipper peer group for the trailing 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. Based on cumulative total return, Lipper ranked the fund 19 of 549, 6 of 499, 40 of 452, and 12 of 343 mixed-asset target Performance Comparison allocation moderate funds for the 1-, 3-, 5-, Six-Month Period Ended 11/30/17 Total Return and 10-year periods, Personal Strategy Balanced Fund 7.52% respectively, ended Personal Strategy Balanced Fund I Class 7.56 November 30, Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index 6.51 (Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

13 Personal Strategy Growth Fund The investment objective of the Personal Strategy Growth Fund is to seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks. The fund s typical asset mix is 80% stocks, 16% bonds and cash, and 4% alternatives. The allocation to stocks can vary as much as 10 percentage points above or below its target, while the allocation to bonds and cash can vary between 5% and 25%. The alternatives allocation can range from 0% to 10% of the fund. This asset allocation entails higher risk but also a higher potential long-term return than the Personal Strategy Income Fund and the Personal Strategy Balanced Fund. As shown in the Performance Comparison table, the Personal Strategy Growth Fund returned 9.62% for the six months ended November 30, 2017, outperforming its combined index benchmark and Lipper peer group index. The Personal Strategy Growth Fund s performance versus its peers over longer time periods remained solid: The fund is in the top decile of its Lipper peer group for the trailing 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods.

Outlook The broadening global economic recovery should be supportive for risk assets in However, relatively high stock valuations and low bond yields in many major markets provide little buffer against unexpected market events. Given elevated valuations, we believe that continued strong earnings growth will be required to sustain further 12

15 T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds stock market gains in the coming year. Regarding fixed income, we expect that low yields, tight credit spreads, and less accommodative central bank policies will leave little room for upside across most fixed income sectors. Despite this environment, bonds offer beneficial attributes within portfolios to counter potential periods of heightened stock market volatility. Positive factors include the potential for U.S. corporate tax cuts to generate further earnings upside and for domestic demand-driven recoveries underway in Europe and Japan to underpin growth prospects in their respective markets. On the other hand, risks to our outlook include a rise in geopolitical or trade tensions or the possibility of a central bank policy misstep. We are encouraged by the supportive factors underpinning our current outlook but are mindful of the geopolitical and policy risks that could derail the current recovery. In light of the many crosscurrents that have the potential to impact global financial markets, we believe that the Personal Strategy Funds broad diversification and T. Rowe Price s strengths in fundamental research will allow us to continue generating solid returns for our shareholders over the long run. Thank you for investing with T. Rowe Price.

16 T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds Risks of Investing As with all stock and bond mutual funds, each fund s share price can fall because of weakness in the stock or bond markets, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Stock markets can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic developments, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive environment. In addition, the investment manager s assessment of companies held in a fund may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance even in rising markets. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk, the decline in bond prices that usually accompanies a rise in interest rates, and credit risk, the chance that any fund holding could have its credit rating downgraded or that a bond issuer will default (fail to make timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund s income level and share price. High yield corporate bonds could have greater price declines than funds that invest primarily in high-quality bonds. Companies issuing high yield bonds are not as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings, so the bonds are usually considered speculative investments. Funds that invest overseas may carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards; and higher transaction costs of non-u.s. markets. Non-U.S. investments are also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

23 T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds Fund Expense Example As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period. Please note that the fund has two share classes: The original share class (Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, and the I Class shares are also available to institutionally oriented clients and impose no 12b-1 or administrative fee payment. Each share class is presented separately in the table. Actual Expenses The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund s actual returns. You may use the information on this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts with less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Personal Services or Enhanced Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price assets of at least $250,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher. 21
