ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES Portfolio Construction: There is no guarantee that the investment will remain within the anticipated ranges of exposure. Weighted Average Maturity is an average of the maturities of the underlying bonds, with each bond s maturity weighted by the percentage of Fund assets it represents. Weighted Average Effective Duration is a calculation that seeks to measure the price sensitivity of the Fund to changes in interest rates. In general, the longer the average maturity or duration, the greater the Fund s sensitivity to interest rates. Duration is a better indicator of price sensitivity because it takes into account the time value of cash flows. Unless indicated otherwise the source of all data is T. Rowe Price.
