1 SEMIANNual REPORT November 30, 2017 PRWBX PASHX TBSIX T. Rowe Price Short-Term Bond Fund Short-Term Bond Fund Advisor Class Short-Term Bond Fund I Class The fund invests in high-quality short- and intermediate-term bonds for current income and minimal principal fluctuation.

2 HIGHLIGHTS Short-term Treasury yields increased faster than those on longer maturities as the Federal Reserve continued to slowly raise its federal funds target rate. The yield curve flattened through much of the period amid expectations of further rate increases in line with stronger economic growth and sustained employment gains. The Short-Term Bond Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays 1 3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index and its Lipper peer group average during the six-month reporting period. The portfolio s strategic underweight to U.S. Treasuries and corresponding overweight to investment-grade corporate debt benefited results as investors maintained their willingness to add risk. While future rate increases could pressure short-term securities, we expect that investor demand for higher-yielding securities with lower duration risk should support the portfolio.

3 Manager s Letter Fellow Shareholders We increased our exposure to short-term corporate debt and maintained our overweight to investment-grade corporate debt, given the possibility that economic growth may get a boost from increased spending and deregulation under the Trump administration. Along with increasing exposure to other market segments with more attractive yields, these asset allocation decisions helped your fund outperform its benchmark as Treasuries and other high-quality bonds underperformed. PERFORMANCE Performance Comparison Six-Month Period Ended 11/30/17 Total Return Short-Term Bond Fund 0.46% Short-Term Bond Fund Advisor Class 0.11 Short-Term Bond Fund I Class 0.30 Bloomberg Barclays 1 3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index 0.06 Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average 0.44 Your fund returned 0.46% during the six months ended November 30, 2017, outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1 3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which returned 0.06%, and the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average, which returned 0.44% for the same period. The fund s net asset value ended the reporting period at $4.70, down from $4.72 at the end of May Dividends contributed $0.04 per share during the six-month period. (Performance for the Advisor Class and I Class shares will vary, reflecting their different fee structures.) 1

4 What Rising Rates Mean for Bonds With the Federal Reserve expected to continue its measured approach to interest rate hikes, yields on U.S. Treasuries and other fixed income securities have slowly increased from the low levels of the recent past. We expect the Fed to pause after each increase in the federal funds rate and to carefully analyze incoming U.S. economic data to be sure that economic activity is strong enough to withstand further incremental moves toward normalization of monetary policy. The Fed s more gradual approach to interest rate increases than in previous cycles nonetheless brings the risk of rising rates to the forefront for bond investors. Higher interest rates weigh on the prices of most types of bonds. Importantly, investors also need to understand that not all bonds or bond funds respond uniformly in such an environment. In particular, the duration of a bond or bond fund, which is tied in part to its maturity, provides important information about how the asset will perform when rates change. Also, some bond sectors and bonds of varying quality are better insulated from rate changes and may even perform well as rates rise. A bond fund s duration (shown in the Portfolio Characteristics exhibit) is the most precise indicator of how the fund will respond to rising rates. If a bond fund has a duration of 5.3 years, for example, the fund s net asset value (NAV) would be expected to fall about 5.3% for every one-percentage-point rise in rates. Even this is only part of the picture, however rising rates will also generally mean higher dividends per share as the fund invests in new, higher-yielding bonds. As a result, the fund s total return (change in NAV plus dividend income) is unlikely to fall as steeply as the duration indicates. Generally, bond funds with a shorter weighted average maturity in other words, those with holdings that come due sooner have lower durations and should fare better than funds with longer average maturities when rates rise. This is because investors in the bonds will not be locked into lower yields, or coupon payments, for long. When the fund receives principal payments from maturing bonds, it can reinvest them at a higher yield. Indeed, for investors in a bond fund with a low duration and a low weighted average maturity, higher rates can mean an increase in income potential. Some fixed income sectors offer an added degree of protection from rising rates. Floating rate funds invest in bank loans where the interest rate on the loan is periodically reset, meaning that investors face very little interest rate risk. However, the bank loans usually have a credit profile that is below investment quality, which means these investments may have greater exposure to default risk than investment-grade bonds. Mortgage-backed securities typically fare better than other bonds of similar maturity when rates rise modestly, as fewer homeowners will refinance and pay off their loans early. In addition, lower-quality bonds with a price that is highly sensitive to the issuer s credit rating (shown in the Quality Diversification exhibit) may perform better as rates increase. Rising rates often accompany a strengthening economy, which can lead to credit upgrades for lower-rated issuers. Also, the higher yields offered by lower-quality bonds provide an additional cushion to total return if bond prices fall as interest rates increase. However, lower-quality bonds are generally exposed to greater credit risk than other bonds because the securities carry a higher risk of default. 2

5 4.0% ECONOMY AND INTEREST RATES The U.S. economy grew at an annualized pace of 3.3% in the third quarter and is on track to expand about 2% for the full year of The solid growth combined with strong employment and expectations for accelerating inflation prompted the Federal Reserve to raise its federal funds target rate to the 1.00% to 1.25% range in June. (On December 13, 2017, immediately after our reporting period ended, the central bank raised rates again, bringing the fed funds target rate to the 1.25% to 1.50% range.) The central bank also indicated that three more rate hikes would likely follow in Adding to upward rate pressure during the period, the Fed began to slowly unwind its $4.5 trillion balance sheet built up as part of its quantitative easing process that it put in place in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Short-term Treasury yields increased in the six-month period ended November 30, 2017, as the market anticipated that the Fed would continue to gradually raise rates. Yields on two-year Treasury notes rose faster than those of their five-year counterparts, resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. The yield on the two-year Treasury note began the six-month period at 1.28% and finished at 1.78%, whereas the yield on the five-year Interest Rate Levels Treasury note started 2-Year Treasury Note the period at 1.75% and 5-Year Treasury Note ended at 2.14%. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.) 11/30/16 2/17 5/17 8/17 11/30/17 Source: Federal Reserve Board. Companies continued to issue debt at a fast pace. However, technical conditions remained healthy with strong demand, especially from foreign buyers, absorbing the supply. Corporate bonds outpaced U.S. Treasuries of similar maturities as credit spreads compressed. Asset-backed securities (ABS) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) gained modestly. ABS were supported by strong consumer fundamentals, while MBS benefited from the rise in rates that helped mitigate prepayment risk. 3

The portfolio s strategic underweight to U.S. Treasuries and corresponding overweight to investment-grade corporate debt benefited results. Typically, we underweight loweryielding Treasury securities and overweight investment-grade corporates for their incremental yield advantage. We maintained our out-of-benchmark exposure in the securitized sector (including ABS and MBS), which, as noted above, benefited from the strength in the consumer and housing markets during the period. Our exposure to securities 12-month dividends may not equal the combined with a yield advantage 6-month figures due to rounding. over Treasuries remained high, with corporate debt composing 51% of the portfolio and out-of-benchmark securitized debt accounting for 35% as of the end of the reporting period. While valuations appear stretched in many areas of the markets, we continue to use the insights of our research team to find shorter-maturity securities that can still produce value for investors while providing the portfolio with the needed protection thanks to their short maturity to withstand risk-related selling. 4

7 Credit Ratings in a Nutshell Credit rating agencies assign letter ratings to bonds after analyzing the issuer s financial situation, although some issuers choose not to be rated. The chart below shows the range of ratings used by Moody s Investors Service, Standard & Poor s, and Fitch Ratings. Bonds within the four highest rating categories are considered to be investment grade; those with lower ratings are considered noninvestment grade and are often called high yield or junk bonds. There are also intermediate gradations called split ratings; these occur when two of the rating agencies do not agree on a rating. For example, one agency may rate a bond BB and another B, creating a BB/B split rating. Moody s and Standard & Poor s/fitch Rating Codes Investment-Grade Bonds Moody s S&P/Fitch Meaning Aaa AAA Highest-quality bonds. Issuers are considered extremely stable and dependable. Aa AA High-quality bonds. The long-term investment risk is slightly higher than on AAA bonds. A A Bonds with many favorable attributes. Baa BBB Medium-grade bonds. Quality is adequate at present but less certain for the long term. Noninvestment-Grade Bonds Ba BB Bonds with a speculative element. B B Security of payments is not well safeguarded. Caa CCC Ca CC Bonds are extremely speculative. The danger of a default is high. C C D In default. Security selection marginally detracted from relative results. Our holdings in the short-maturity debt of pharmaceutical companies hurt relative performance. We sold some debt of Teva Pharmaceutical Finance, which was one of the most significant detractors from relative performance. We expected the company would announce a restructuring plan, which could involve new issuance and debt refinancing, perhaps prompting a credit rating downgrade. In November, Fitch Ratings cut Teva s credit rating to the below 5

Government Related 4% Corporate Bonds and Notes 51% Asset-Backed Securities 19% investment-grade category, citing significant operational stress that the Israeli drugmaker faced as it dealt with debt obligations that were almost three times its market value. AbbVie, a global biotechnology company, was another detractor as the biotech industry as a whole came under pressure from uncertainty about drug regulation and health care reform. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of the holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.) Our yield curve positioning contributed to relative results. We maintained a defensive duration position during the reporting period. This helped relative performance as short-term rates increased. Out-ofbenchmark exposure to longer-duration maturities also contributed to positive yield curve positioning. OUTLOOK While uncertainties surrounding monetary policy and ongoing efforts at tax and regulatory reform could add to market volatility, the solid macroeconomic backdrop should remain supportive of the shortterm bond market. Global liquidity and favorable financial conditions persist despite signs from global central bank officials that years of ultra-loose monetary policy is coming to an end. We believe that the Fed will continue to tighten monetary policy at a gradual enough pace to ensure that it does not derail the economic expansion and that it will clearly telegraph its moves to investors. While future rate increases could pressure short-term securities, we expect that investor demand for higher-yielding securities with lower duration risk should support the portfolio.

Therefore, this category may include rated and unrated securities. this potential volatility, we have positioned the portfolio for a further flattening of the yield curve as short- and longterm rates continue to converge. We plan to hedge our riskier exposure by focusing on debt with maturities of 18 months and under. In this way, we will be able to reap the benefits of coupon payments while remaining somewhat protected in the event of a sell-off. While the backdrop for U.S. corporate bonds remains constructive buoyed by decent earnings and expectations of **U.S. Treasury securities are issued by the U.S. Treasury economic growth we and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. will be on the lookout for government.

10 Thank you for investing with T. Rowe Price.

11 Risks of Fixed Income Investing 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 by failing to make timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund s income level and share price. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, particularly if falling rates lead to heavy refinancing activity, and extension risk, which is an increase in interest rates that causes a fund s average maturity to lengthen unexpectedly due to a drop in mortgage prepayments. This could increase the fund s sensitivity to rising interest rates and its potential for price declines. Glossary Bloomberg Barclays 1 3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index: An index that measures the performance of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds that have maturities of between 1 and 3 years and are publicly issued. Credit spread: The difference between the yield on a corporate bond and a Treasury of a similar maturity. Duration: A measure of a bond fund s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. For example, a fund with a duration of two years would fall about 2% in price in response to a one-percentage-point rise in interest rates, and vice versa. Fed funds rate: The interest rate charged on overnight loans of reserves by one financial institution to another in the United States. The Federal Reserve sets a target federal funds rate to affect the direction of interest rates. Lipper averages: The averages of available mutual fund performance returns for specified time periods in defined categories as tracked by Lipper Inc. SEC yield (30-day): A method of calculating a fund s yield that assumes all portfolio securities are held until maturity. Yield will vary and is not guaranteed. Yield curve: A graphic depiction of the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar securities. A security with a longer maturity usually has a higher yield. If a short-term security offers a higher yield, then the curve is said to be inverted. If shortand long-term bonds are offering equivalent yields, then the curve is said to be flat.

Returns do not reflect taxes that the shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. 10

13 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 three share classes: The original share class (Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, the Advisor Class shares are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, and I Class shares are 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. 11

The annualized expense ratio of the Investor Class was 0.47%, the Advisor Class was 0.75%, and the I Class was 0.37%. 12

For the most recent month-end performance, please visit our website (troweprice.com) or contact a T. Rowe Price representative at or, for Advisor Class and I Class shares, This table provides returns through the most recent calendar quarter-end rather than through the end of the fund s fiscal period. It shows how the fund would have performed each year if its actual (or cumulative) returns for the period shown were earned at a constant rate. Average annual total return figures include changes in principal value, reinvested dividends, and capital gain distributions. Returns do not reflect taxes that the shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. When assessing performance, investors should consider both short- and long-term returns.
