On

hand,

many

are

benefiting

from

a

pricing

upcycle

that

could

extend

for

several

years.

In

the

six

months,

we

eliminated

some

lower-conviction

holdings

in

the

P&C

Among

companies,

we

reduced

it

remains

to

be

seen

if

we

will

have

a

or

just

slower—but

still

positive—

economic

We

continue

to

Commentary

Dear

Shareholder

Nearly

all

major

global

stock

and

bond

indexes

fell

sharply

in

2022,

as

investors

contended

with

persistently

high

inflation,

tightening

financial

conditions,

and

slowing

economic

and

corporate

earnings

growth.

Double-digit

losses

were

common

in

equity

markets

around

the

world,

and

bond

investors

also

faced

a

historically

tough

environment

amid

a

sharp

rise

in

interest

rates.

Value

shares

declined

but

outperformed

growth

stocks

by

a

considerable

margin

as

equity

investors

turned

risk

averse

and

as

rising

rates

put

downward

pressure

on

growth

stock

valuations.

Emerging

markets

stocks

generally

underperformed

shares

in

developed

markets.

Meanwhile,

the

U.S.

dollar

strengthened

versus

most

currencies

during

the

period,

which

weighed

on

returns

for

U.S.

investors

in

international

securities.

Within

the

S&P

500

Index,

energy

was

a

rare

bright

spot,

gaining

more

than

60%

as

oil

prices

jumped

in

response

to

Russia’s

invasion

of

Ukraine

and

concerns

over

commodity

supply

shortages.

Defensive

shares,

such

as

utilities,

consumer

staples,

and

health

care,

held

up

relatively

well

and

finished

the

year

with

roughly

flat

returns.

Conversely,

communication

services,

consumer

discretionary,

and

information

technology

shares

suffered

the

largest

declines.

Elevated

inflation

remained

a

leading

concern

for

investors

throughout

the

period,

although

there

were

signs

that

price

increases

were

moderating

by

year-

end.

November’s

consumer

price

index

data

showed

headline

inflation

rising

7.1%

on

a

12-month

basis,

the

lowest

level

since

December

2021

but

still

well

above

the

Federal

Reserve’s

2%

long-term

target.

In

response

to

the

high

inflation

readings,

global

central

banks

tightened

monetary

policy,

and

investors

focused

on

communications

from

central

bank

officials

on

how

high

rates

would

have

to

go.

The

Fed,

which

at

the

end

of

2021

had

forecast

that

it

would

only

need

to

raise

interest

rates

0.75

percentage

point

in

all

of

2022,

raised

its

short-term

lending

benchmark

from

near

zero

in

March

to

a

target

range

of

4.25%

to

4.50%

by

December

and

indicated

that

additional

hikes

are

likely.

Bond

yields

increased

considerably

across

the

U.S.

Treasury

yield

curve

as

the

Fed

tightened

monetary

policy,

with

the

yield

on

the

benchmark

10-year

U.S.

Treasury

note

climbing

from

1.52%

at

the

start

of

the

period

to

3.88%

at

the

end

of

the

year.

Significant

inversions

in

the

yield

curve,

which

are

often

considered

a

warning

sign

of

a

coming

recession,

occurred

during

the

period

as

shorter-maturity

Treasuries

experienced

the

largest

yield

increases.

The

T.

ROWE

PRICE

Financial

Services

Fund

sharp

increase

in

yields

led

to

historically

weak

results

across

the

fixed

income

market,

with

the

Bloomberg

U.S.

Aggregate

Bond

Index

delivering

its

worst

year

on

record.

(Bond

prices

and

yields

move

in

opposite

directions.)

As

the

period

came

to

an

end,

the

economic

backdrop

appeared

mixed.

Although

manufacturing

gauges

have

drifted

toward

contraction

levels,

the

U.S.

jobs

market

remained

resilient,

and

corporate

and

household

balance

sheets

appeared

strong.

Meanwhile,

the

housing

market

has

weakened

amid

rising

mortgage

rates.

The

past

year

has

been

a

trying

time

for

investors

as

few

sectors

remained

untouched

by

the

broad

headwinds

that

markets

faced,

and

volatility

may

continue

in

the

near

term

as

central

banks

tighten

policy

amid

slowing

economic

growth.

However,

in

our

view,

there

continue

to

be

opportunities

for

selective

investors

focused

on

fundamentals.

Valuations

in

most

global

equity

markets

have

improved

markedly,

although

U.S.

equities

still

appear

relatively

expensive

by

historical

standards,

while

bond

yields

have

reached

some

of

the

most

attractive

levels

since

the

2008

global

financial

crisis.

We

believe

this

environment

makes

skilled

active

management

a

critical

tool

for

identifying

risks

and

opportunities,

and

our

investment

teams

will

continue

to

use

fundamental

research

to

identify

securities

that

can

add

value

to

your

portfolio

over

the

long

term.

you

FUND

COMMENTARY

How

did

the

fund

perform

in

the

past 12

months?

Stocks

of

financial

services

companies

generally

rose

in

the

second

half

of

2022,

reducing

significant

first-half

losses.

Your

fund

returned

-10.95%

for

the

full

year

but

outperformed

the

benchmark

Russell

3000

Financial

Index,

the

Lipper

peer

group

index,

and

the

Morningstar

Financial

Average,

as

shown

in

the

Performance

Comparison

table.

Because

the

Russell

benchmark

is

highly

concentrated

in

large

financial

companies,

we

believe

that

the

Lipper

index

and

the

Morningstar

average

are

better

representations

of

our

opportunity

set.

(Returns

for

I

Class

shares

will

vary,

reflecting

a

different

fee

structure.

Past

performance

cannot

guarantee

future

results

.)

What

factors

influenced

the

fund’s

performance?

Our

positions

in

regional

banks,

such

as

Fifth

Third

Bancorp,

PNC

Financial

Services

Group,

and

East

West

Bancorp,

generally

declined

in

value

in

2022.

While

a

widening

gap

between

long-term

loan

interest

rates

and

short-term

rates

paid

to

depositors

(i.e.,

net

interest

margin)

usually

increases

bank

profits,

regional

banks—which

tend

to

be

credit-sensitive—have

been

hurt

by

expectations

for

considerable

credit

losses

in

the

event

of

a

recession.

Such

losses

have

yet

to

materialize,

and

we

believe

such

losses

will

ultimately

be

more

modest

than

the

reserve

profiles

of

the

banks

suggest.

One

of

our

better-performing

regional

banks

was

Midwest

lender

Huntington

Bancshares.

Shares

fell

slightly

for

the

year,

but

it

is

one

of

our

higher-conviction

holdings.

We

like

Huntington’s

strong

household

growth

and

its

consumer-heavy

deposit

franchise

that

seems

to

be

less

sensitive

to

rising

rates,

and

we

believe

that

the

bank

is

well

(Please

the

of

for

a

complete

list

of

holdings

and

the

represents

in

the

portfolio.)

Shares

of

money

center

banks,

such

as

Citigroup

and

Bank

of

America,

have

also

declined

due

to

expectations

for

loan-related

losses

to

increase.

Other

factors

that

have

weighed

on

the

money

centers

include

reduced

mortgage

lending

as

well

as

increased

provisions

(i.e.,

capital

set

aside)

to

cover

anticipated

credit

card

delinquencies.

Wells

Fargo

also

struggled

in

2022,

as

the

bank

continues

working

to

resolve

legacy

issues

stemming

from

unethical

practices

under

previous

management,

but

we

continue

to

expect

that

the

eventual

removal

of

its

regulatory

asset

cap

will

enable

the

bank

to

grow

its

balance

sheet

and

harness

its

lending

potential.

The

property

and

casualty

(P&C)

insurance

industry

was

a

bright

spot

for

the

portfolio

in

2022.

Stocks

of

many

P&C

insurers

climbed,

as

the

favorable

pricing

upcycle

continued

and

looks

poised

to

extend

beyond

2024.

The

trend

is

increasingly

driven

by

rising

loss

inflation,

which

means

higher

rebuilding

and

replacement

expenses

due

to

increased

labor

and

materials

costs

are

being

passed

down

in

the

form

of

higher

insurance

premiums.

Top

holdings

such

as

Chubb,

American

International

Group

(AIG),

and

Hartford

Financial

Services

Group

produced

solid

gains

for

the

year.

Shares

of

Kemper,

a

Chicago-based

multiline

insurance

company

whose

premiums

come

primarily

from

auto

and

home

insurance

offerings,

declined

for

the

year.

However,

the

company

is

in

the

midst

of

a

turnaround

that

we

believe

will

bear

fruit

in

2023,

helped

in

part

by

a

cost-cutting

plan

to

improve

underwriting

margins

and

efforts

to

increase

its

capital

levels.

How

is

the

fund

positioned?

In

the

last

six

months,

we

trimmed

the

portfolio’s

exposure

to

P&C

insurers,

though

we

continue

to

overweight

the

industry

versus

the

Lipper

index.

Industry

fundamentals

remain

healthy,

but

valuations

have

been

increasing,

and

we

eliminated

some

lower-conviction

holdings,

such

as

Hanover

Insurance

Group

and

Selective

Insurance

Group,

to

fund

other

opportunities

in

the

financials

sector.

As

for

other

insurance

entities,

we

eliminated

positions

in

traditional

insurers

Sampo

and

Sun

Life

Financial

but

established

a

sizable

stake

in

Corebridge

Financial.

Corebridge

is

a

spinoff

of

AIG’s

life

insurance

business

that

should

benefit

from

the

tailwind

of

higher

interest

rates,

and

we

found

its

valuation

compelling

at

the

time

of

its

initial

public

offering.

PRICE

Financial

Among

regional

banks,

which

we

are

underweighting

versus

Lipper,

we

eliminated

Pinnacle

Financial

Partners

but

established

a

considerable

stake

in

U.S.

Bancorp,

which

we

considered

very

attractively

valued.

The

company

completed

the

acquisition

of

MUFG

Union

Bank

at

the

beginning

of

December,

and

we

believe

that

the

deal

should

be

meaningfully

accretive

to

earnings

over

the

next

year

or

two.

Shares

of

M&T

Bank,

which

has

a

strong

presence

in

the

northeast

and

mid-Atlantic,

fell

sharply

in

the

latter

part

of

the

year

following

a

disappointing

third-quarter

earnings

report.

We

started

a

small

position.

Among

capital

markets

companies,

we

trimmed

Bank

of

New

York

Mellon,

a

trust

bank

that

has

over

$40

trillion

in

assets

under

custody

but

seems

to

lack

strong

growth

catalysts.

We

also

reduced

our

stakes

in

Wall

Street

giants

Goldman

Sachs

Group

and

Morgan

Stanley

as

they

appreciated

in

the

latter

part

of

the

year.

Goldman

Sachs

has

great

global

securities

and

investment

banking

franchises,

and

while

we

like

its

diversification

into

wealth

and

asset

management

businesses,

we

believe

the

company

could

struggle

due

to

some

revenue

and

macroeconomic

headwinds.

We

have

higher

conviction

in

Morgan

Stanley,

however.

It

has

built

a

premier

wealth

management

business

that

has

been

increasing

market

share,

and

we

believe

that

the

durability

of

its

organic

growth

potential

is

underappreciated

by

investors.

What

is

portfolio

management’s

outlook?

Stocks

of

financial

services

companies,

which

are

closely

tied

to

the

health

of

the

economy,

were

under

pressure

for

much

of

2022.

As

the

new

year

unfolds,

they

remain

challenged

amid

concerns

that

continued

Federal

Reserve

interest

rate

increases

in

2023

will

eventually

lead

to

a

recession

and

meaningful

credit

losses

for

lenders.

It

remains

to

be

seen

if

we

will

have

a

recession

or

just

slower—but

still

positive—economic

growth.

However,

we

continue

to

believe

that

many

financial

services

firms

are

pricing

in

an

unfavorable

scenario

that

ultimately

may

not

be

as

severe

as

their

valuations

imply.

We

are

encouraged

that

the

economy

remains

resilient

despite

higher

interest

rates,

that

the

labor

market

is

still

strong,

and

that

corporate

and

consumers’

balance

sheets

appear

healthy.

Compared

with

2008,

banks

are

in

much

better

shape,

and

we

believe

that

most

lenders

currently

have

little

or

no

stress

in

their

credit

portfolios.

Although

the

housing

market

and

mortgage

lending

have

cooled

off,

loan

demand

otherwise

remains

strong,

but

banks

are

proactively

tightening

their

underwriting

practices

and

lending

standards

in

anticipation

of

a

slowdown.

As

a

result,

we

believe

many

banks

have

some

upside

potential

if

credit

losses

turn

out

to

be

lower

than

the

market

expects.

Beyond

the

banks,

we

believe

that

fundamentals

for

other

financial

services

industries

remain

favorable.

Insurers,

for

example,

seem

poised

to

benefit

from

strong

underwriting

profits

as

well

as

increased

investment

income

stemming

from

generally

higher

interest

rates.

Also,

P&C

insurers,

as

we

have

discussed,

should

have

pricing

tailwinds

for

at

least

another

year

or

two.

In

addition,

stock

valuations

in

many

financial

services

industries

are

more

attractive

today

than

they

were

one

year

ago,

or

even

six

months

ago.

No

matter

how

the

economic

and

interest

rate

environment

evolves,

we

will

continue

to

seek

out

the

best

risk/reward

trade-offs

among

financials

and

other

businesses

that

serve

the

sector.

We

remain

committed

to

our

fundamental,

proprietary

research

process

to

assess

the

long-term

opportunities

and

risk

profiles

of

both

current

and

potential

portfolio

holdings.

RISKS

OF

INVESTING

IN

THE

FINANCIAL

SERVICES

FUND

Stocks

generally

fluctuate

in

value

more

than

bonds

and

may

decline

significantly

over

short

time

periods.

There

is

a

chance

that

stock

prices

overall

will

decline

because

stock

markets

tend

to

move

in

cycles,

with

periods

of

rising

and

falling

prices.

The

value

of

stocks

held

by

the

fund

may

decline

due

to

general

weakness

or

volatility

in

the

stock

markets

in

which

the

fund

invests

or

because

of

factors

that

affect

a

particular

company

or

industry.

A

fund

that

focuses

its

investments

in

specific

industries

or

sectors

is

more

susceptible

to

adverse

developments

affecting

those

industries

and

sectors

than

a

more

broadly

diversified

fund.

Because

the

fund

invests

significantly

in

financial

services

companies,

the

fund

may

perform

poorly

during

a

downturn

in

the

financial

services

industry.

Financial

services

companies

can

be

adversely

affected

by,

among

other

things,

regulatory

changes,

the

availability

of

capital

and

cost

to

borrow,

the

rate

of

debt

defaults,

interest

rate

movements,

and

price

competition.

Investments

in

the

securities

of

non-U.S.

issuers

may

be

adversely

affected

by

local,

political,

social,

and

economic

conditions

overseas;

greater

volatility;

reduced

liquidity;

or

decreases

in

foreign

currency

values

relative

to

the

U.S.

dollar.

The

risks

of

investing

outside

the

U.S.

are

heightened

for

any

investments

in

emerging

markets,

which

are

susceptible

to

greater

volatility

than

investments

in

developed

markets.

EXPENSE

RATIO

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.

of

This

number

may

vary

from

the

expense

ratio

shown

elsewhere

in

this

report

because

it

is

based

on

a

different

time

if

Financial

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

shareholder

reports;

or

accounts

of

an

investor

who

is

a

T.

Enhanced

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.

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940

(the

as a

diversified,

open-end

management

investment

company. The

fund

seeks

long-term

growth

of

capital

and

a

modest

level

of

income.

The

fund

has

two classes

of

shares:

the

Financial

Services

Fund

(Investor

Class)

and

the

Financial

Services

Fund–I

Class

(I

Class).

I

Class

shares

require

a

$500,000

initial

investment

minimum,

although

the

minimum

generally

is

waived

or

reduced

for

financial

intermediaries,

eligible

retirement

plans,

and

certain

other

accounts.

Prior

to

November

15,

2021,

the

initial

investment

minimum

was

$1

million

and

was

generally

waived

for

financial

intermediaries,

eligible

retirement

plans,

and

other

certain

As

a

result

of

the

reduction

in

the

certain

assets

transferred

from

the

to

the

I

This

transfer

of

generally

accepted

in

the

Capital

Transactions

 Each

However,

the

may

be

calculated

at

a

time

other

than

the

VALUATION 

Fair

Value

  The

fund’s

financial

instruments

are

valued

at

the

close

of

the

NYSE

and

are

reported

at

fair

value,

which

GAAP

defines

as

the

price

that

would

be

received

to

sell

an

asset

or

paid

to

transfer

a

liability

in

an

orderly

transaction

between

market

participants

at

the

measurement

date. The fund’s

Board

of

Directors

(the

Board)

has

designated

T.

Rowe

Price

Associates,

Inc.

as

the

fund’s

valuation

designee

(Valuation

Designee).

Subject

to

oversight

by

the

Board,

the

Valuation

Designee

performs

the

following

functions

in

performing

fair

value

determinations:

assesses

and

manages

valuation

risks;

establishes

and

applies

fair

value

methodologies;

tests

fair

value

methodologies;

and

evaluates

pricing

vendors

and

pricing

agents.

The

duties

and

responsibilities

of

the

Valuation

Designee

are

performed

by

its

Valuation

Committee. The

Valuation

Designee provides

periodic

reporting

to

the

Board

on

valuation

matters.

Various

valuation

techniques

and

inputs

are

used

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

financial

instruments.

GAAP

establishes

the

following

fair

value

hierarchy

that

categorizes

the

inputs

used

to

measure

fair

value:

Level

1

–

quoted

prices

(unadjusted)

in

active

markets

for

identical

financial

instruments

that

the

fund

can

access

at

the

reporting

date

Level

2

–

inputs

other

than

Level

1

quoted

prices

that

are

observable,

either

directly

or

indirectly

(including,

but

not

limited

to,

quoted

prices

for

similar

financial

instruments

in

active

markets,

quoted

prices

for

identical

or

similar

financial

instruments

in

inactive

markets,

interest

rates

and

yield

curves,

implied

volatilities,

and

credit

spreads)

Level

3

–

unobservable

inputs

(including

the Valuation

Designee’s assumptions

in

determining

fair

value)

Observable

inputs

are

developed

using

market

data,

such

as

publicly

available

information

about

actual

events

or

transactions,

and

reflect

the

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

to

price

the

financial

instrument.

Unobservable

inputs

are

those

for

which

market

data

are

not

available

and

are

developed

using

the

best

information

available

about

the

assumptions

that

market

participants

would

use

to

price

the

financial

instrument.

GAAP

requires

valuation

techniques

to

maximize

the

use

of

relevant

T.

ROWE

PRICE

Financial

Services

Fund

observable

inputs

and

minimize

the

use

of

unobservable

inputs.

When

multiple

inputs

are

used

to

derive

fair

value,

the

financial

instrument

is

assigned

to

the

level

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy

based

on

the

lowest-level

input

that

is

significant

to

the

fair

value

of

the

financial

instrument.

Input

levels

are

not

rather

the

A

security

that

is

listed

or

on

more

than

one

exchange

is

valued

at

the

on

determined

to

be

the

for

such

security.

Listed

not

traded

on

a

asked

prices

for

domestic

and

the

last

quoted

sale

or

closing

price

for

international

securities.

The

last

quoted

prices

of

non-U.S.

equity

securities

may

be

adjusted

to

reflect

the

fair

value

of

such

securities

at

the

close

of

the

NYSE,

if

the Valuation

Designee

determines

that

developments

between

the

close

of

a

foreign

market

and

the

close

of

the

NYSE

will

affect

the

value

of

some

or

all

of the

fund’s

portfolio

securities.

Each

business

day,

the

Valuation

Designee uses

information

from

outside

pricing

services

to

evaluate

the

quoted

prices

of

portfolio

securities

and,

if

appropriate,

decide whether

it

is

necessary

to

adjust

quoted

prices

to

reflect

fair

value

by

reviewing

a

variety

of

factors,

including

developments

in

foreign

markets,

the

performance

of

U.S.

securities

markets,

and

the

performance

of

instruments

trading

in

U.S.

markets

that

represent

foreign

securities

and

baskets

of

foreign

securities. The Valuation

Designee

uses

outside

pricing

services

to

provide

it

with

quoted

prices

and

information

to

evaluate

or

adjust

those

prices.

The Valuation

Designee

cannot

predict

how

often

it

will

use

quoted

prices

and

how

often

it

will

determine

it

necessary

to

adjust

those

prices

Fund

31

by

type

of

investment

and

may

include

market

or

specific

considerations.

The

Valuation

Designee typically

will

afford

greatest

weight

to

actual

prices

in

arm’s

length

transactions,

to

the

extent

they

represent

orderly

transactions

between

market

participants,

transaction

information

can

be

reliably

obtained,

and

prices

are

deemed

representative

of

fair

However,

the

Valuation

Designee may

also

consider

other

valuation

methods

such

as

market-based

valuation

multiples;

a

discount

or

premium

from

market

value

of

a

similar,

freely

traded

security

of

the

issuer;

discounted

cash

flows;

yield

to

or

some

combination.

Fair

value

determinations

are

reviewed

on

a

regular

basis.

Because

any

fair

value

determination

involves

a

significant

amount

of

judgment,

there

is

a

degree

of

subjectivity

inherent

in

such

pricing

decisions. Fair

value

prices

determined

by

the

Designee could

differ

from

those

of

other

market

participants,

and

it

is

possible

that

the

fair

determined

for

a

security

may

be

materially

different

from

the

that

could

be

upon

Securities

Lending

 The fund

may

lend

its

securities

to

approved

borrowers

to

earn

additional

income.

Its

securities

lending

activities

are

administered

by

a

lending

agent

in

accordance

with

a

securities

lending

agreement.

Security

loans

generally

do

not

have

stated

maturity

dates,

and

the

fund

may

recall

a

security

at

any

time.

The

fund

receives

collateral

in

the

form

of

cash

or

U.S.

government

securities.

Collateral

is

maintained

over

the

life

of

the

loan

in

an

amount

not

less

than

the

value

of

loaned

securities;

any

additional

collateral

required

due

to

changes

in

security

values

is

delivered

to

the

fund

the

next

business

day.

Cash

collateral

is

invested

in

accordance

with

investment

guidelines

approved

by

fund

management.

Additionally,

the

lending

agent

indemnifies

the

fund

against

losses

resulting

from

borrower

default.

Although

risk

is

mitigated

by

the

collateral

and

indemnification,

the

fund

could

experience

a

delay

in

recovering

its

securities

and

a

possible

loss

of

income

or

value

if

the

borrower

fails

to

return

the

securities,

collateral

investments

decline

in

value,

and

the

lending

agent

fails

to

perform.

Securities

lending

revenue

consists

of

earnings

on

invested

collateral

and

borrowing

fees,

net

of

any

rebates

to

the

borrower,

compensation

to

the

lending

agent,

and

other

administrative

costs.

In

accordance

with

GAAP,

investments

made

with

cash

collateral

are

reflected

in

the

accompanying

financial

statements,

but

collateral

received

in

the

form

of

securities

is

not.

At

December

31,

2022,

the

value

of

loaned

securities

was

$6,381,000;

the

value

of

cash

collateral

and

was

The

agreement

between

the

provides

for

an

and

a

The

events

such

as

environmental

or

natural

disasters,

war,

terrorism,

pandemics,

outbreaks

of

infectious

diseases,

and

similar

public

health

threats

may

significantly

affect

the

economy

and

the

markets

and

issuers

in

which

the fund

invests.

Certain

events

may

cause

instability

across

including

reduced

and

disruptions

in

may

affect

regions,

countries,

sectors,

and

industries

more

significantly

than

others,

and

exacerbate

other

pre-existing

political,

social,

and

economic

risks.

Since

2020,

a

novel

strain

of

coronavirus

(COVID-19)

has

resulted

in

disruptions

to

global

business

activity

and

caused

significant

volatility

and

declines

in

global

financial

markets.

In

February

2022,

Russian

forces

entered

Ukraine

and

commenced

an

armed

conflict

leading

to

economic

sanctions

being

imposed

on

Russia

and

certain

of

its

citizens,

creating

impacts

on

Russian-related

stocks

and

debt

and

greater

volatility

in

global

These

are

recent

examples

of

global

events

which

may

have

a

negative

impact

on

the

Our

to

express

an

We

conducted

our

audits

of

these

financial

statements

in

accordance

with

the

standards

of

Those

require

that

we

plan

to

obtain

are

free

of

Our

included

performing

of

material

misstatement

of

the

whether

due

and

performing

procedures

that

respond

to

those

risks.

Such

procedures

included

examining,

on

a

test

basis,

evidence

regarding

the

Our

also

included

evaluating

LIQUIDITY

RISK

MANAGEMENT

PROGRAM

In

accordance

with

Rule

22e-4

(Liquidity

Rule)

under

the

Investment

Company

Act

of

1940,

as

amended,

the

fund

has

established

a

liquidity

risk

management

program

(Liquidity

Program)

reasonably

designed

to

assess

and

manage

the

fund’s

liquidity

risk,

which

generally

represents

the

risk

that

the

fund

would

not

be

able

to

meet

redemption

requests

without

significant

dilution

of

remaining

investors’

interests

in

the

fund.

The

fund’s

Board

of

Directors

(Board)

has

appointed

the

fund’s

investment

adviser,

T.

Rowe

Price

Associates,

Inc.

(Adviser),

as

the

administrator

of

the

Liquidity

Program.

As

administrator,

the

Adviser

is

responsible

for

overseeing

the

day-to-day

operations

of

the

Liquidity

Program

and,

among

other

things,

is

responsible

for

assessing,

managing,

and

reviewing

with

the

Board

at

least

annually

the

liquidity

risk

of

each

T.

Rowe

Price

fund.

The

Adviser

has

delegated

oversight

of

the

Liquidity

Program

to

a

Liquidity

Risk

Committee

(LRC),

which

is

a

cross-functional

committee

composed

of

personnel

from

multiple

departments

within

the

Adviser.

The

Liquidity

Program’s

principal

objectives

include

supporting

the

T.

Rowe

Price

funds’

compliance

with

limits

on

investments

in

illiquid

assets

and

mitigating

the

risk

that

the

fund

will

be

unable

to

timely

meet

its

redemption

obligations.

The

Liquidity

Program

also

includes

a

number

of

elements

that

support

the

management

and

assessment

of

liquidity

risk,

including

an

annual

assessment

of

factors

that

influence

the

fund’s

liquidity

and

the

periodic

classification

and

reclassification

of

a

fund’s

investments

into

categories

that

reflect

the

LRC’s

assessment

of

their

relative

liquidity

under

current

market

conditions.

Under

the

Liquidity

Program,

every

investment

held

by

the

fund

is

classified

at

least

monthly

into

one

of

four

liquidity

categories

based

on

estimations

of

the

investment’s

ability

to

be

sold

during

designated

time

frames

in

current

market

conditions

without

significantly

changing

the

investment’s

market

value.

As

required

by

the

Liquidity

Rule,

at

a

meeting

held

on

July

25,

2022,

the

Board

was

presented

with

an

annual

assessment

prepared

by

the

LRC,

on

behalf

of

the

Adviser,

that

addressed

the

operation

of

the

Liquidity

Program

and

assessed

its

adequacy

and

effectiveness

of

implementation,

including

any

material

changes

to

the

Liquidity

Program

and

the

determination

of

each

fund’s

Highly

Liquid

Investment

Minimum

(HLIM).

The

annual

assessment

included

consideration

of

the

following

factors,

as

applicable:

the

fund’s

investment

strategy

and

liquidity

of

portfolio

investments

during

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions,

including

whether

the

investment

strategy

is

appropriate

for

an

open-end

fund,

the

extent

to

which

the

strategy

involves

a

relatively

concentrated

portfolio

or

large

positions

in

particular

issuers,

and

the

use

of

borrowings

for

investment

purposes

and

derivatives;

short-term

and

long-term

cash

flow

projections

covering

both

normal

and

reasonably

foreseeable

stressed

conditions;

and

holdings

of

cash

and

cash

equivalents,

as

well

as

available

borrowing

arrangements.

For

and

the

incorporated

a

related

to

a

fund’s

holdings,

shareholder

and

portfolio

concentration,

any

borrowings

during

the

period,

cash

flow

projections,

and

other

relevant

data

for

the

period

of

April

1,

2021,

through

March

31,

The

report

described

the

methodology

for

classifying

a

fund’s

investments

(including

any

derivative

transactions)

into

one

of

four

liquidity

categories,

as

well

as

the

percentage

of

a

investments

assigned

to

each

category.

It

also

explained

the

methodology

for

establishing

a

fund’s

HLIM

and

noted

that

the

LRC

reviews

the

HLIM

assigned

to

each

no

During

the

that

Item 1. (b) Notice pursuant to Rule 30e-3.

Not applicable.

Item 2.  Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3.  Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Teresa Bryce Bazemore qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Bazemore is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4.  Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) – (d)  Aggregate fees billed for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered to, or on behalf of, the registrant by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

	2022		2021
Audit Fees	$	21,734	$	21,172
Audit-Related Fees		-		-
Tax Fees		-		1,540
All Other Fees		-		-

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. The nature of these services specifically includes the review of distribution calculations and the preparation of Federal, state, and excise tax returns. All other fees include the registrant’s pro-rata share of amounts for agreed-upon procedures in conjunction with service contract approvals by the registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees.

(e)(1)  The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.

(2)  No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f)  Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g)  The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $2,037,000 and $3,732,000, respectively.

(h)  All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5.  Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Investments.

(a)  Not applicable. The complete schedule of investments is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

(b)  Not applicable.

Item 7.  Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 8.  Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 9.  Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

Not applicable.

Item 10.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There has been no change to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.

Item 11.  Controls and Procedures.

(a)  The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of this filing and have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of that date, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in this Form N-CSR was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported timely.

(b)  The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are aware of no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 12. Disclosure of Securities Lending Activities for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

(a)(1) The registrant’s code of ethics pursuant to Item 2 of Form N-CSR is attached.

      (3) Written solicitation to repurchase securities issued by closed-end companies: not applicable.

(b) A certification by the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and required by Rule 30a-2(b) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, is attached.
