Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PREPARATION	THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PREPARATION. T. Rowe Price Group (Price Group) derives its consolidated revenues and net income primarily from investment advisory services that its subsidiaries provide to individual and institutional investors in the sponsored T. Rowe Price U.S. mutual funds and other investment portfolios, including separately managed accounts, subadvised funds, and other sponsored investment portfolios. We also provide our investment advisory clients with related administrative services, including distribution, mutual fund transfer agent, accounting, and shareholder services; participant recordkeeping and transfer agent services for defined contribution retirement plans; brokerage; and trust services. Investment advisory revenues depend largely on the total value and composition of assets under our management. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and in the composition of assets under management impact our revenues and results of operations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the use of estimates and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Actual results may vary from our estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. The unaudited interim financial information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2016 Annual Report. NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE We early adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 — Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting on July 1, 2016, which changed the accounting for certain aspects of stock-based compensation awards, including the accounting for income taxes upon settlement of awards, the classification of cash flows associated with awards, the accounting for award forfeitures, and the treatment of hypothetical tax benefits when calculating weighted-average shares outstanding assuming dilution. The guidance required adjustments to be reflected as of January 1, 2016, so we recognized adjustments related to the first and second quarter of 2016 in our condensed consolidated financial statement results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As such, we have revised the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2016 financial statements reported in these statements to reflect the impact of the new guidance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the recognition of net tax benefits on exercised options and vested restricted stock relative to the stock-based compensation expense reduced our previously reported income tax provisions by $8 million and $16.9 million , respectively. The impact (in millions) on our condensed consolidated statement of income and earnings per share on common stock data three- and six- months is as follows: Three months ended 6/30/2016 Six months ended 6/30/2016 As previously reported As reported herein As previously reported As reported herein Income before income taxes $ 325.0 $ 325.0 $ 821.0 $ 821.0 Provision for income taxes 121.8 113.8 313.4 296.5 Net income 203.2 211.2 507.6 524.5 Less: net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests 7.9 7.9 17.1 17.1 Net income attributable to T.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. We determine the fair value of our cash equivalents and certain investments using the following broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk. These inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. Level 3 – unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions based on the best information available. We do not value any investments using Level 3 inputs. These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with our investments. There have been no transfers between the levels. The following table summarizes our investments (in millions) that are recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets using fair value measurements determined based on the differing levels of inputs.

Consolidated Sponsored Investment Portfolios [Abstract]
CONSOLIDATED SPONSORED INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS	CONSOLIDATED SPONSORED INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS. The sponsored investment portfolios that we consolidate in our condensed consolidated financial statements are generally those products we provided initial seed capital at the time of their formation and have a controlling interest. Our U.S. sponsored investment portfolios are considered voting interest entities, while those regulated outside the U.S. are considered variable interest entities. The following table details the net assets of the consolidated sponsored investment portfolios: December 31, 2016 June 30, 2017 Voting Variable interest entities Total Voting interest entities Variable interest entities Total Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 10.3 $ 55.3 $ 65.6 $ 6.6 $ 67.1 $ 73.7 Investments (2) 219.3 1,340.6 1,559.9 179.8 1,325.6 1,505.4 Other assets 4.8 50.2 55.0 5.0 19.9 24.9 Total assets 234.4 1,446.1 1,680.5 191.4 1,412.6 1,604.0 Liabilities 8.8 56.8 65.6 11.2 44.2 55.4 Net assets $ 225.6 $ 1,389.3 $ 1,614.9 $ 180.2 $ 1,368.4 $ 1,548.6 Attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests $ 69.5 $ 617.7 $ 687.2 $ 50.1 $ 577.5 $ 627.6 Attributable to T.

(2) Investments includes $4.2 million and $9.0 million at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 , respectively, of investments in sponsored portfolios. Although we can redeem our net interest in these sponsored investment portfolios at any time, we cannot directly access or sell the assets held by the portfolios to obtain cash for general operations. Additionally, the assets of these investment portfolios are not available to our general creditors. Since third party investors in these investment funds have no recourse to our credit, our overall risk related to the net assets of consolidated sponsored investment portfolios is limited to valuation changes associated with our net interest. We, however, are required to recognize the valuation changes associated with all underlying investments held by these portfolios in our condensed consolidated statements of income, and disclose the portion attributable to third party investors as net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests. The operating results (in millions) of the consolidated sponsored investment portfolios for the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017 , are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income as follows: Three months ended 6/30/2016 6/30/2017 Voting Variable interest entities Total Voting Variable interest entities Total Operating expenses reflected in net operating income $ (.3 ) $ (3.2 ) $ (3.5 ) $ (.2 ) $ (2.5 ) $ (2.7 ) Net investment income reflected in non-operating income 5.8 20.6 26.4 4.8 34.6 39.4 Impact on income before taxes $ 5.5 $ 17.4 $ 22.9 $ 4.6 $ 32.1 $ 36.7 Net income attributable to T.

In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we eliminated operating expenses of $1.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017 , respectively, against the investment advisory and administrative fees earned from these portfolios. Operating expenses eliminated for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017 , were $3.1 million and $1.8 million , respectively. The net investment income reflected in non-operating income includes dividend and interest income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying securities held by the consolidated sponsored investment portfolios. The table below details the impact of these consolidated investment portfolios on the individual lines of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in millions) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2017 .

These cash flows were eliminated in consolidation. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. We determine the fair value of investments held by consolidated sponsored investment portfolios using the following broad levels of inputs as defined by related accounting standards: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk. These inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. Level 3 – unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions based on the best information available. The value of investments using Level 3 inputs is insignificant. These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investment holdings. There have been no material transfers between the levels.

DELL APPRAISAL RIGHTS MATTER	DELL APPRAISAL RIGHTS MATTER. In 2016, we paid $166.2 million to compensate certain T. Rowe Price mutual funds, trusts, separately managed accounts, and subadvised clients (collectively, Clients) for the denial of their appraisal rights by the Delaware Chancery Court (Court) in connection with the 2013 leveraged buyout of Dell, Inc. (Dell). The Court ruled on May 11, 2016, that the Clients could not pursue an appraisal of any shares they held that were voted in favor of the Dell merger. The appraisal statute governing the transaction required the record holder to vote against or abstain from voting on the transaction in order to assert appraisal rights. After previously voting against prior transaction proposals, the voting instructions submitted on behalf of the Clients in connection with voting on the final proposed transaction were incorrectly submitted in favor of the transaction. On May 31, 2016, the Court determined that the fair value of Dell at the time of the merger was $17.62 per share, as opposed to the $13.75 price offered in the transaction. As a result, any shareholder perfecting appraisal rights is entitled to a payment at $17.62 per share plus statutory interest from the date the Dell transaction closed. The compensation to Clients was intended to make them whole for the voting discrepancy that resulted in the denial of their appraisal rights. On December 30, 2016, we signed a settlement agreement with our insurance carrier for insurance proceeds totaling $100.0 million related to this matter. We recognized the proceeds as a reduction to the $166.2 million nonrecurring charge that we recognized in the second quarter of 2016 and as a receivable in other assets at December 31, 2016. We received the insurance proceeds on January 24, 2017. In the first quarter of 2017, we recognized a reduction in operating expenses from insurance recoveries from other insurance carriers totaling an additional $50 million , of which $40 million was paid during the first quarter and the remaining $10 million was paid during the second quarter.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. On February 14, 2017, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., T. Rowe Price Trust Company, current and former members of the management committee, and trustees of the T. Rowe Price U.S. Retirement Program were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The plaintiff is a former employee who alleges breaches of ERISA’s fiduciary duty and prohibited transaction provisions on behalf of a class of all participants and beneficiaries of the T. Rowe Price 401(k) Plan from February 14, 2011, to the time of judgment. The plaintiff is seeking certification of the complaint as a class action. T. Rowe Price believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. This matter is in the early stages of litigation and we cannot predict the eventual outcome or whether it will have a material negative impact on our financial results, or estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may arise from any negative outcome. On April 27, 2016, certain shareholders in the T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund, T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund, T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund, T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund, T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund, T. Rowe Price High Yield Fund, T. Rowe Price New Income Fund and T. Rowe Price Small Cap Stock Fund (the “Funds”) filed a Section 36(b) complaint under the caption Zoidis v. T. Rowe Price Assoc., Inc., against T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that the management fees for the identified funds are excessive because T. Rowe Price charges lower advisory fees to subadvised clients with funds in the same strategy. The complaint seeks to recover the allegedly excessive advisory fees received by T. Rowe Price in the year preceding the start of the lawsuit, along with investments’ returns and profits. In the alternative, the complaint seeks the rescission of each fund’s investment management agreement and restitution of any allegedly excessive management fees. T. Rowe Price believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. This matter is in the early stages of litigation and we cannot predict the eventual outcome or whether it will have a material negative impact on our financial results, or estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may arise from any negative outcome. In addition to the matters discussed above, various claims against us arise in the ordinary course of business, including employment-related claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the likelihood of an adverse determination in one or more of these pending ordinary course of business claims that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations is remote.

New accounting guidance	NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE We early adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 — Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting on July 1, 2016, which changed the accounting for certain aspects of stock-based compensation awards, including the accounting for income taxes upon settlement of awards, the classification of cash flows associated with awards, the accounting for award forfeitures, and the treatment of hypothetical tax benefits when calculating weighted-average shares outstanding assuming dilution. The guidance required adjustments to be reflected as of January 1, 2016, so we recognized adjustments related to the first and second quarter of 2016 in our condensed consolidated financial statement results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As such, we have revised the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2016 financial statements reported in these statements to reflect the impact of the new guidance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the recognition of net tax benefits on exercised options and vested restricted stock relative to the stock-based compensation expense reduced our previously reported income tax provisions by $8 million and $16.9 million , respectively.
