Market
Commentary
Dear
Shareholder
Major
global
stock
and
bond
indexes
produced
mixed
returns
during
the
first
half
of
your
fund’s
fiscal
year,
the
six-month
period
ended
November
30,
2023.
Nearly
all
equity
benchmarks
finished
the
period
with
positive
results
after
a
strong
rally
in
November;
however,
rising
U.S.
Treasury
yields
left
some
fixed
income
sectors
in
negative
territory.
Within
the
S&P
500
Index,
the
financials
sector
recovered
from
the
failure
of
three
large
regional
banks
earlier
in
the
year and
recorded
the
best
results
for
the
period.
The
information
technology
sector
also
delivered
strong
gains
as
technology
companies
benefited
from
investor
enthusiasm
for
artificial
intelligence
developments.
Outside
the
U.S.,
stocks
in
developed
markets
generally
outpaced
their
counterparts
in
emerging
markets,
although
emerging
Europe
and
Latin
America
produced
very
strong
returns
at
the
regional
level.
The
U.S.
economy
was
the
strongest
among
the
major
markets
during
the
period,
with
gross
domestic
product
growth
coming
in
at
5.2%
in
the
third
quarter’s
revised
estimate,
the
highest
since
the
end
of
2021.
Corporate
fundamentals
were
also
broadly
supportive.
Although
year-over-year
earnings
growth
contracted
in
the
first
and
second
quarters
of
2023,
results
were
better
than
expected,
and
earnings
growth
turned
positive
again
in
the
third
quarter.
Inflation
remained
a
concern
for
both
investors
and
policymakers,
but
lower-
than-expected
inflation
data
in
November
helped
spur
a
rally
late
in
the
period
as
many
investors
concluded
that
the
Federal
Reserve
had
reached
the
end
of
its
hiking
cycle.
The
Fed
raised
its
short-term
lending
benchmark
rate
to
a
target
range
of
5.25%
to
5.50%
in
July,
the
highest
level
since
March
2001,
and
then
held
rates
steady
for
the
remainder
of
the
period.
Despite
a
drop
in
yields
as
investor
sentiment
shifted
in
November,
intermediate-
and
longer-term
U.S.
Treasury
yields
finished
the
period
notably
higher.
After
starting
the
period
at
3.64%,
the
yield
on
the
benchmark
10-year
Treasury
note
briefly
reached
5.00%
in
October
for
the
first
time
since
late
2007
before
falling to
4.37%
by
the
end
of
November.
The
rise
in
yields
led
to
negative
returns
in
some
fixed
income
sectors,
but
both
investment-grade
and
high
yield
corporate
bonds
produced
solid
returns,
supported
by
the
higher
coupons
that
have
become
available
over
the
past
year
as
well
as
by increasing
hopes
that
the
economy
might
be
able
to
avoid
a
recession.
Global
economies
and
markets
showed
surprising
resilience
in
2023,
but
considerable
uncertainty
remains
as
we
look
ahead.
Geopolitical
events,
the
path
of
monetary
policy,
and
the
impact
of
the
Fed’s
rate
hikes
on
the
economy
all
raise
the
potential
for
additional
volatility.
We
believe
this
environment
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund
makes
skilled
active
management
a
critical
tool
for
identifying
risks
and
opportunities,
and
our
investment
teams
will
continue
to
use
fundamental
research
to
help
identify
securities
that
can
add
value
to
your
portfolio
over
the
long
term.
You
may
notice
that
this
report
no
longer
contains
the
commentary
on
your
fund’s
performance
and
positioning
that
we
previously
included
in
the
semiannual
shareholder
letters.
The
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
adopted
new
rules
recently
that
will
require
fund
reports
to
transition
to
a
new
format
known
as
a
Tailored
Shareholder
Report.
This
change
will
require
a
much
more
concise
summary
of
performance
rather
than
the
level
of
detail
we
have
provided
historically
while
also
aiming
to
be
more
visually
engaging.
As
we
prepare
to
make
changes
to
the
annual
reports
to
meet
the
new regulatory
requirements
by
mid-2024,
we
felt
the
time
was
right
to
discontinue
the
optional
six-month
semiannual
fund
letter
to
focus
on
the
changes
to
come.
Although
semiannual
fund
letters
will
no
longer
be
produced,
you
may
continue
to
access
current
fund
information
as
well
as
insights
and
perspectives
from
our
investment
team
on
our
personal
investing
website.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
confidence
in
T.
Rowe
Price.

Robert

Sources:
Credit
ratings
for
the
securities
held
in
the
fund
are
provided
by
Moody’s,
Standard
&
Poor’s,
and
Fitch
and
are
converted
to
the
Standard
&
Poor’s
nomenclature.
A
rating
of
AAA
represents
the
highest-
rated
securities,
and
a
rating
of
D
represents
the
lowest-
rated
securities.
If
the
rating
agencies
differ,
the
highest
rating
is
applied
to
the
security.
If
a
rating
is
not
available,
the
security
is
classified
as
Not
Rated.
T.
Rowe
Price
uses
the
rating
of
the
underlying
investment
vehicle
to
determine
the
creditworthiness
of
credit
default
swaps.
The

is
not
rated
by
any

are
issued

by

unlike
Treasuries,
government

are
generally
unrated
but
may
have
credit

from
the
U.S.
Treasury
(e.g.,
FHLMC
and
FNMA
issues)
or
a
direct
government
guarantee
(e.g.,

Therefore,
this
category
may
include
rated

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.

Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund,
Inc.
(the
fund) is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
1940
Act)
as a
diversified, open-end
management
investment
company. The
fund
seeks
to
provide
high
income
and
some
capital
appreciation.
The
fund
has
three classes
of
shares:
the
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund
(Investor
Class),
the
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund–Advisor
Class
(Advisor
Class)
and
the
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund–I
Class
(I
Class).
Advisor
Class
shares
are
sold
only
through
various
brokers
and
other
financial
intermediaries.
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.
The
Advisor
Class
operates
under
a
Board-approved
Rule
12b-1
plan
pursuant
to
which
the
class
compensates
financial
intermediaries
for
distribution,
shareholder
servicing,
and/or
certain
administrative
services;
the
Investor
and
I
Classes
do
not
pay
Rule
12b-1
fees. Each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
related
solely
to
that
class;
separate
voting
rights
on
matters
that
relate
to
all classes;
and,
in
all
other
respects,
the
same
rights
and
obligations
as
the
other
classes.
NOTE

-
SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis
of
Preparation
The fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946
(ASC
946).
The
accompanying
financial
statements
were
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(GAAP),
including,
but
not
limited
to,
ASC
946.
GAAP
requires
the
use
of
estimates
made
by
management.
Management
believes
that
estimates
and
valuations
are
appropriate;
however,
actual
results
may
differ
from
those
estimates,
and
the
valuations
reflected
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements
may
differ
from
the
value
ultimately
realized
upon
sale
or
maturity.
Investment
Transactions,
Investment
Income,
and
Distributions
Investment
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
the
trade
date
basis.
Income
and
expenses
are
recorded
on
the
accrual
basis.
Realized
gains
and
losses
are
reported
on
the
identified
cost
basis. Premiums
and
discounts
on
debt
securities
are
amortized
for
financial
reporting
purposes. Paydown
gains
and
losses
are
recorded
as
an
adjustment
to
interest
income. Inflation
adjustments
to
the
principal
amount
of
inflation-indexed
bonds
are
reflected
as
interest
income. Income
tax-related
interest
and
penalties,
if
incurred,
are
recorded
as
income
tax
expense. Dividends
received
from other
investment
companies are
reflected
as
dividend
income;
capital
gain
distributions
are
reflected
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund
as
realized
gain/loss. Dividend
income and
capital
gain
distributions
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date. Earnings
on
investments
recognized
as
partnerships
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
reflect
the
tax
character
of
such
earnings. Non-cash
dividends,
if
any,
are
recorded
at
the
fair
market
value
of
the
asset
received. Proceeds
from
litigation
payments,
if
any,
are
included
in
either
net
realized
gain
(loss)
or
change
in
net
unrealized
gain/loss
from
securities. Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date. Income
distributions,
if
any, are
declared
by
each
class daily
and
paid
monthly. A
capital
gain
distribution,
if
any, may
also
be
declared
and
paid
by
the
fund
annually.
Currency
Translation
Assets,
including
investments,
and
liabilities
denominated
in
foreign
currencies
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollar
values
each
day
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate,
using
the
mean
of
the
bid
and
asked
prices
of
such
currencies
against
U.S.
dollars
as
provided
by
an
outside
pricing
service.
Purchases
and
sales
of
securities,
income,
and
expenses
are
translated
into
U.S.
dollars
at
the
prevailing
exchange
rate
on
the
respective
date
of
such
transaction.
The
effect
of
changes
in
foreign
currency
exchange
rates
on
realized
and
unrealized
security
gains
and
losses
is
not
bifurcated
from
the
portion
attributable
to
changes
in
market
prices.
Class
Accounting
Shareholder
servicing,
prospectus,
and
shareholder
report
expenses
incurred
by
each
class
are
charged
directly
to
the
class
to
which
they
relate.
Expenses
common
to
all
classes
and
investment
income
are
allocated
to
the
classes
based
upon
the
relative
daily
net
assets
of
each
class’s
settled
shares;
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
based
upon
the
relative
daily
net
assets
of
each
class’s
outstanding
shares.
The
Advisor
Class
pays
Rule
12b-1
fees,
in
an
amount
not
exceeding
0.25%
of
the
class’s
average
daily
net
assets.
Capital
Transactions
Each
investor’s
interest
in
the
net
assets
of the
fund
is
represented
by
fund
shares. The
fund’s
net
asset
value
(NAV)
per
share
is
computed
at
the
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(NYSE),
normally
4
p.m.
ET,
each
day
the
NYSE
is
open
for
business.
However,
the
NAV
per
share
may
be
calculated
at
a
time
other
than
the
normal
close
of
the
NYSE
if
trading
on
the
NYSE
is
restricted,
if
the
NYSE
closes
earlier,
or
as
may
be
permitted
by
the
SEC.
Purchases
and
redemptions
of
fund
shares
are
transacted
at
the
next-computed
NAV
per
share,
after
receipt
of
the
transaction
order
by
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.,
or
its
agents.

These

Indemnification
In

of
business, the
fund
may
provide
indemnification
in
connection
with
its
officers
and
directors,
service
providers,
and/or
private

fund’s
maximum

is
unknown;
however,
the

of
material
loss
is
currently
considered
to
be
remote.

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:
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund
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
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
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
or
liquidity
associated
with
financial
instruments
at
that
level
but
rather
the
degree
of
judgment
used
in
determining
those
values.
Valuation
Techniques
Debt
securities
generally
are
traded
in
the over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
and
are
valued
at
prices
furnished
by
independent
pricing
services
or
by
broker
dealers
who
make
markets
in
such
securities.
When
valuing
securities,
the
independent
pricing
services
consider
factors
such
as,
but
not
limited
to,
the
yield
or
price
of
bonds
of
comparable
quality,
coupon,
maturity,
and
type,
as
well
as
prices
quoted
by
dealers
who
make
markets
in
such
securities.
Equity
securities,
including
exchange-traded
funds, listed
or
regularly
traded
on
a
securities
exchange
or
in
the
over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or,
for
certain
markets,
the
official
closing
price
at
the
time
the
valuations
are
made.
OTC
Bulletin
Board
securities
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices.
A
security
that
is
listed
or
traded
on
more
than
one
exchange
is
valued
at
the
quotation
on
the
exchange
determined
to
be
the
primary
market
for
such
security.
Listed
securities
not
traded
on
a
particular
day
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices
for
domestic
securities
and
the
last
quoted
sale
or
closing
price
for
international
securities.
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Multi-Sector

Fund
The
last

prices
of

may
be
adjusted
to
reflect
the
fair
value
of
such
securities
at
the
close

if
the Valuation
Designee
determines
that
developments
between

will
affect
the

quoted
prices
of
portfolio
securities
and,
if
appropriate,
decide whether
it
is
necessary
to

by
reviewing
a

of
factors,
including
developments

Designee
uses
outside

services
to
provide

and
information
to
evaluate
or
adjust
those
prices.
The Valuation
Designee
cannot
predict
how
often
it
will
use
quoted

and
how
often
it
will
determine
it
necessary

Investments
in
mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
mutual
fund’s
closing
NAV
per
share
on
the
day
of
valuation.
Investments
in
private
investment
companies
are
valued
at
the
investee’s
NAV
per
share
as
of
the
valuation
date,
if
available.
If
the
investee’s
NAV
is
not
available
as
of
the
valuation
date
or
is
not
calculated
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
the
Valuation Designee
may
adjust
the
investee’s
NAV
to
reflect
fair
value
at
the
valuation
date.
Listed
options,
and
OTC
options
with
a
listed
equivalent,
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices
and
exchange-traded
options
on
futures
contracts
are
valued
at
closing
settlement
prices.
Futures
contracts
are
valued
at
closing
settlement
prices.
Forward
currency
exchange
contracts
are
valued
using
the
prevailing
forward
exchange
rate.
Swaps
are
valued
at
prices
furnished
by
an
independent
pricing
service
or
independent
swap
dealers.
Assets
and
liabilities
other
than
financial
instruments,
including
short-term
receivables
and
payables,
are
carried
at
cost,
or
estimated
realizable
value,
if
less,
which
approximates
fair
value.
Investments
for
which
market
quotations are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
the
Valuation
Designee.
The
Valuation
Designee
has
adopted
methodologies
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
or
deemed
unreliable,
including
the
use
of
other
pricing
sources.
Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
vary
by
type
of
investment
and
may
include
market
or
investment
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
value.
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
same
issuer;
discounted
cash
T.

flows;
yield
to
maturity;
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
Valuation
Designee could
differ
from
those
of
other
market
participants,
and
it
is
possible
that
the
fair
value
determined
for
a
security
may
be
materially
different
from
the
value
that
could
be
realized
upon
the
sale
of
that
security.

DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS
During
the
six
months ended
November
30,
2023,
the
fund
invested
in
derivative
instruments.
As
defined
by
GAAP,
a
derivative
is
a
financial
instrument
whose
value
is
derived
from
an
underlying
security
price,
foreign
exchange
rate,
interest
rate,
index
of
prices
or
rates,
or
other
variable;
it
requires
little
or
no
initial
investment
and
permits
or
requires
net
settlement.
The
fund
invests
in
derivatives
only
if
the
expected
risks
and
rewards
are
consistent
with
its
investment
objectives,
policies,
and
overall
risk
profile,
as
described
in
its
prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
The
fund
may
use
derivatives
for
a
variety
of
purposes
and
may
use
them
to
establish
both
long
and
short
positions
within
the
fund’s
portfolio.
Potential
uses
include
to
hedge
against
declines
in
principal
value,
increase
yield,
invest
in
an
asset
with
greater
efficiency
and
at
a
lower
cost
than
is
possible
through
direct
investment,
to
enhance
return,
or
to
adjust
portfolio
duration
and
credit
exposure.
The
risks
associated
with
the
use
of
derivatives
are
different
from,
and
potentially
much
greater
than,
the
risks
associated
with
investing
directly
in
the
instruments
on
which
the
derivatives
are
based.
The
fund
values
its
derivatives
at
fair
value
and
recognizes
changes
in
fair
value
currently
in
its
results
of
operations.
Accordingly,
the
fund
does
not
follow
hedge
accounting,
even
for
derivatives
employed
as
economic
hedges.
Generally,
the
fund
accounts
for
its
derivatives
on
a
gross
basis.
It
does
not
offset
the
fair
value
of
derivative
liabilities
against
the
fair
value
of
derivative
assets
on
its
financial
statements,
nor
does
it
offset
the
fair
value
of
derivative
instruments
against
the
right
to
reclaim
or
obligation
to
return
collateral.
The
following
table
summarizes
the
fair
value
of
the
fund’s
derivative
instruments
held
as
of
November
30,
2023,
and
the
related
location
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities,
presented
by
primary
underlying
risk
exposure:

In

with
Subtopic
820-10,
certain
investments
that
are
measured
at
fair
value

the
net
asset
value
per
unit
(or

practical

Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund
Counterparty
Risk
and
Collateral
The
fund
invests
in
derivatives
in
various
markets,
which
expose
it
to
differing
levels
of
counterparty
risk.
Counterparty
risk
on
exchange-
traded
and
centrally
cleared
derivative
contracts,
such
as
futures,
exchange-traded
options,
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
is
minimal
because
the
clearinghouse
provides
protection
against
counterparty
defaults.
For
futures
and
centrally
cleared
swaps,
the
fund
is
required
to
deposit
collateral
in
an
amount
specified
by
the
clearinghouse
and
the
clearing
firm
(margin
requirement),
and
the
margin
requirement
must
be
maintained
over
the
life
of
the
contract.
Each
clearinghouse
and
clearing
firm,
in
its
sole
discretion,
may
adjust
the
margin
requirements
applicable
to
the
fund.
Derivatives,
such
as
non-cleared bilateral
swaps,
forward
currency
exchange
contracts,
and
OTC
options,
that
are
transacted
and
settle
directly
with
a
counterparty
(bilateral
derivatives)
may
expose
the
fund
to
greater
counterparty
risk.
To
mitigate
this
risk,
the
fund
has
entered
into
master
netting
arrangements
(MNAs)
with
certain
counterparties
that
permit
net
settlement
under
specified
conditions
and,
for
certain
counterparties,
also
require
the
exchange
of
collateral
to
cover
mark-to-market
exposure.
MNAs
may
be
in
the
form
of
International
Swaps
and
Derivatives
Association
master
agreements
(ISDAs)
or
foreign
exchange
letter
agreements
(FX
letters).
MNAs
provide
the
ability
to
offset
amounts
the
fund
owes
a
counterparty
against
amounts
the
counterparty
owes
the
fund
(net
settlement).
Both
ISDAs
and
FX
letters
generally
allow
termination
of
transactions
and
net
settlement
upon
the
occurrence
of
contractually
specified
events,
such
as
failure
to
pay
or
bankruptcy.
In
addition,
ISDAs
specify
other
events,
the
occurrence
of
which
would
allow
one
of
the
parties
to
terminate.
For
example,
a
downgrade
in
credit
rating
of
a
counterparty
below
a
specified
rating
would
allow
the
fund
to
terminate,
while
a
decline
in
the
fund’s
net
assets
of
more
than
a
specified
percentage
would
allow
the
counterparty
to
terminate.
Upon
termination,
all
transactions
with
that
counterparty
would
be
liquidated
and
a
net
termination
amount
settled.
ISDAs
typically
include
collateral
agreements
whereas
FX
letters
do
not.
Collateral
requirements
are
determined
daily
based
on
the
net
aggregate
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on
all
bilateral
derivatives
with
a
counterparty,
subject
to
minimum
transfer
amounts
that
typically
range
from
$100,000
to
$250,000.
Any
additional
collateral
required
due
to
changes
in
security
values
is
typically
transferred
the
next
business
day.
Collateral
may
be
in
the
form
of
cash
or
debt
securities
issued
by
the
U.S.
government
or
related
agencies,
although
other
securities
may
be
used
depending
on
the
terms
outlined
in
the
applicable
MNA.
Cash
posted
by
the
fund
is
reflected
as
cash
deposits
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements
and
generally
is
restricted
from
withdrawal
by
the
fund;
securities
posted
by
the
fund
are
so
noted
in
the
accompanying
Portfolio
of
Investments;
both
remain
in
the
fund’s
assets.
Collateral
pledged

T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund
is
not
included
in
the
fund’s
assets
because
the
fund
does
not
obtain
effective
control
over
those
assets.
For
bilateral
derivatives,
collateral
posted
or
received
by
the
fund
is
held
in
a
segregated
account
at
the
fund’s
custodian.
While
typically
not
sold
in
the
same
manner
as
equity
or
fixed
income
securities,
exchange-traded
or
centrally
cleared
derivatives
may
be
closed
out
only
on
the
exchange
or
clearinghouse
where
the
contracts
were
cleared,
and
OTC
and
bilateral
derivatives
may
be
unwound
with
counterparties
or
transactions
assigned
to
other
counterparties
to
allow
the
fund
to
exit
the
transaction.
This
ability
is
subject
to
the
liquidity
of
underlying
positions. As
of
November
30,
2023,
cash
of $5,027,000 had
been
pledged
or
posted
by
the
fund
to
counterparties
for
bilateral
derivatives. As
of
November
30,
2023,
collateral
pledged
by
counterparties
to
the
fund
for
bilateral
derivatives
consisted
of $1,970,000 cash
and
securities
valued
at
$331,000. As
of
November
30,
2023,
cash
of $23,980,000 had
been
posted
by
the
fund
for
exchange-traded
and/or
centrally
cleared
derivatives.
Forward
Currency
Exchange
Contracts
The
fund
is
subject
to
foreign
currency
exchange
rate
risk
in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives.
It may use
forward
currency
exchange
contracts
(forwards)
primarily
to
protect
its
non-U.S.
dollar-
denominated
securities
from
adverse
currency
movements
or
to
increase
exposure
to
a
particular
foreign
currency,
to
shift
the
fund’s
foreign
currency
exposure
from
one
country
to
another,
or
to
enhance
the
fund’s
return.
A
forward
involves
an
obligation
to
purchase
or
sell
a
fixed
amount
of
a
specific
currency
on
a
future
date
at
a
price
set
at
the
time
of
the
contract.
Although
certain
forwards
may
be
settled
by
exchanging
only
the
net
gain
or
loss
on
the
contract,
most
forwards
are
settled
with
the
exchange
of
the
underlying
currencies
in
accordance
with
the
specified
terms.
Forwards
are
valued
at
the
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on
the
contract,
which
reflects
the
net
amount
the
fund
either
is
entitled
to
receive
or
obligated
to
deliver,
as
measured
by
the
difference
between
the
forward
exchange
rates
at
the
date
of
entry
into
the
contract
and
the
forward
rates
at
the
reporting
date.
Appreciated
forwards
are
reflected
as
assets
and
depreciated
forwards
are
reflected
as
liabilities
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
When
a
contract
is
closed,
a
realized
gain
or
loss
is
recorded
on
the
accompanying
Statement
of
Operations.
Risks
related
to
the
use
of
forwards
include
the
possible
failure
of
counterparties
to
meet
the
terms
of
the
agreements;
that
anticipated
currency
movements
will
not
occur,
thereby
reducing
the
fund’s
total
return;
and
the
potential
for
losses
in
excess
of
the
fund’s
initial
investment.
During
the
six
months ended
November

to
interest
rate
risk,
credit
risk
and
inflation
risk in
the
normal
course
of
pursuing
its
investment
objectives
and
uses
swap

to
help
manage
such
risks.
The

may
use
swaps
in
an
effort
to
manage
both
long
and
short
exposure
to
changes
in
interest
rates,
inflation
rates,
and

Interest
rate
swaps
are
agreements
to

flows
based
on
the
difference
between
specified
interest
rates
applied
to
a
notional
principal
amount
for
a
specified
period
of
time.
Risks
related
to
the
use
of
interest
rate
swaps
include
the
potential
for
unanticipated
movements
in
interest

rates,
the
possible
failure
of
a

and
potential

Credit
default
swaps
are
agreements
where
one
party
(the
protection
buyer)
agrees
to
make
periodic
payments
to
another
party
(the
protection
seller)
in
exchange
for
protection
against
specified
credit
events,
such
as
certain
defaults
and
bankruptcies
related
to
an
underlying
credit
instrument,
or
issuer
or
index
of
such
instruments.
Upon
occurrence
of
a
specified
credit
event,
the
protection
seller
is
required
to
pay
the
buyer
the
difference
between
the
notional
amount
of
the
swap
and
the
value
of
the
underlying
credit,
either
in
the
form
of
a
net
cash
settlement
or
by
paying
the
gross
notional
amount
and
accepting
delivery
of
the
relevant
underlying
credit.
For
credit
default
swaps
where
the
underlying
credit
is
an
index,
a
specified
credit
event
may
affect
all
or
individual
underlying
securities
included
in
the
index
and
will
be
settled
based
upon
the
relative
weighting
of
the
affected
underlying
security(ies)
within
the
index. Generally,
the
payment
risk
for
the
seller
of
protection
is
inversely
related
to
the
current
market
price
or
credit
rating
of
the
underlying
credit
or
the
market
value
of
the
contract
relative
to
the
notional
amount,
which
are
indicators
of
the
markets’
valuation
of
credit
quality.
As
of
November
30,
2023,
the
notional
amount
of
protection
sold
by
the
fund
totaled $143,045,000
(10.7%
of
net
assets),
which
reflects
the
maximum
potential
amount
the
fund
could
be
required
to
pay
under
such
contracts.
Risks
related
to
the
use
of
credit
default
swaps
include
the
possible
inability
of
the
fund
to
accurately
assess
the
current

funds,
in
securities
of
companies
located
in,
issued
by
governments
of,
or
denominated
in
or
linked
to
the
currencies
of
emerging
and
frontier
market
countries.
Emerging
markets,
and
to

to
have
economic
structures
that
are
less

and
mature,
less
developed
legal
and
regulatory
regimes,
and
political
systems
that
are
less
stable,
than
those
of
developed
countries.
These
markets
may
be
subject
to
greater
political,
economic,
and
social
uncertainty
and
differing
accounting
standards
and
regulatory
environments
that
may
potentially
impact
the
fund’s
ability
to
buy
or
sell
certain
securities
or
repatriate
proceeds
to
U.S.
dollars.
Emerging
markets
securities
exchanges
are
more
likely
to
experience
delays
with
the
clearing
and
settling
of
trades,
as
well
as
the
custody
of
holdings
by
local
banks,
agents,
and
depositories.
Such
securities
are
often
subject
to
greater
price
volatility,
less
liquidity,
and
higher
rates
of
inflation
than
U.S.

Investing
in
frontier
markets
is
typically
significantly
riskier
than
investing
in
other
countries,
including
emerging

Noninvestment-Grade
Debt
The
fund
invests,
either
directly
or
through
its
investment
in
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
in
noninvestment-grade
debt,
including
“high
yield”
or
“junk”
bonds
or
leveraged
loans.
Noninvestment-grade
debt
issuers
are
more
likely
to
suffer
an
adverse
change
in
financial
condition
that
would
result
in
the
inability
to
meet
a
financial
obligation.
The
noninvestment-grade
debt
market
may
experience
sudden
and
sharp
price
swings
due
to
a
variety
of
factors
that
may
decrease
the
ability
of
issuers
to
make
principal
and
interest
payments
and
adversely
affect
the
liquidity
or
value,
or
both,
of
such
securities.
Accordingly,
securities
issued
by
such
companies
carry
a
higher
risk
of
default
and
should
be
considered
speculative.
Restricted
Securities
The
fund
invests
in
securities
that
are
subject
to
legal
or
contractual
restrictions
on
resale.
Prompt
sale
of
such
securities
at
an
acceptable
price
may
be
difficult
and
may
involve
substantial
delays
and
additional
costs.
Collateralized
Loan
Obligations
The
fund
invests
in
collateralized
loan
obligations
(CLOs)
which
are
entities
backed
by
a
diversified
pool
of
syndicated
bank
loans.
The
cash
flows
of
the
CLO
can
be
split
into
multiple
segments,
called
“tranches”
or
“classes”,
which
will
vary
in
risk
profile
and
yield.
The
riskiest
segments,
which
are
the
subordinate
or
“equity”
tranches,
bear
the
greatest
risk
of
loss
from
defaults
in
the
underlying
assets
of
the
CLO
and
serve
to
protect
the
other,
more
senior,
tranches.
Senior
tranches
will
typically
have
higher
credit
ratings
and
lower
yields
than
the
securities
underlying
the
CLO.
Despite
the
protection
from
the
more
junior
tranches,
senior
tranches
can
experience
substantial
losses.
Mortgage-Backed
Securities
The
fund
invests
in
mortgage-backed
securities
(MBS
or
pass-through
certificates)
that
represent
an
interest
in
a
pool
of
specific
underlying
mortgage
loans
and
entitle
the
fund
to
the
periodic
payments
of
principal
and
interest
from
those
mortgages.
MBS
may
be
issued
by
government
agencies
or
corporations,
or
private
issuers.
Most
MBS
issued
by
government
agencies
are
guaranteed;
however,
the
degree
of
protection
differs
based
on
the
issuer.
The
fund
also
invests
in
stripped
MBS,
created
when
a
traditional
MBS
is
split
into
an
interest-only
(IO)
and
a
principal-
only
(PO)
strip.
MBS,
including
IOs
and
POs, are
sensitive
to
changes
in
economic
conditions
that
affect
the
rate
of
prepayments
and
defaults
on
the
underlying
mortgages;
accordingly,
the
value,
income,
and
related
cash
flows
from
MBS
may
be
more
volatile
than
other
debt
instruments.
IOs
also
risk
loss
of
invested
principal
from
faster-
than-anticipated
prepayments.

must
meet
specified
terms,
including
rate
and
mortgage
term,
and
be
within
industry-accepted
“good
delivery”
standards.
The
fund
may
enter
into
TBA
transactions
with
the
intention
of
taking
possession
of
or
relinquishing
the
underlying
securities,
may
elect
to
extend
the
settlement
by
“rolling”
the
transaction,
and/or
may
use
TBA
transactions
to
gain
or
reduce
interim
exposure
to
underlying
securities.
To
mitigate
counterparty
risk,
the
fund
has
entered
into
Master
Securities
Forward
Transaction
Agreements
(MSFTA)
with
counterparties
that
provide
for
collateral
and
the
right
to
offset
amounts
due
to
or
from
those
counterparties
under
specified
conditions.
Subject
to
minimum
transfer
amounts,
collateral
requirements
are
determined
and
transfers
made
based
on
the
net
aggregate
unrealized
gain
or
loss
on
all
TBA
commitments
and
other
forward
settling
mortgage
obligations
with
a
particular
counterparty
(collectively,
MSFTA
Transactions).
At
any
time,
the
fund’s
risk
of
loss
from
a
particular
counterparty
related
to
its
MSFTA
Transactions
is
the
aggregate
unrealized
gain
on
appreciated
MSFTA
Transactions
in
excess
of
unrealized
loss
on
depreciated
MSFTA
Transactions
and
collateral
received,
if
any,
from
such
counterparty. As
of
November
30,
2023,
no
collateral
had
been
posted
by
the
fund
to
counterparties
for
MSFTA
Transactions. Collateral
pledged
by
counterparties
to
the
fund
for
MSFTA
Transactions
consisted
of $433,000
cash
and
securities
valued
at
$2,825,000
as
of
November
30,
2023.
Dollar
Rolls
The
fund
enters
into
dollar
roll
transactions,
pursuant
to
which
it
sells
a
mortgage-backed
TBA
or
security
and
simultaneously
agrees
to
purchase
a
similar,
but
not
identical,
TBA
with
the
same
issuer,
rate,
and
terms
on
a
later
date
at
a
set
price
from
the
same
counterparty.
The
fund
may
execute
a
“roll”
to
obtain
better
underlying
mortgage
securities
or
to
enhance
returns.
While
the
fund
may
enter
into
dollar
roll
transactions
with
the
intention
of
taking
possession
of
the
underlying
mortgage
securities,
it
may
also
close
a
contract
prior
to
settlement
or
“roll”
settlement
to
a
later
date
if
deemed
to
be
in
the
best
interest
of
shareholders.
Actual
mortgages
received
by
the
fund
may
be
less
favorable
than
those
anticipated.
The
fund
accounts
for
dollar
roll
transactions
as
purchases
and
sales,
which
has
the
effect
of
increasing
its
portfolio
turnover
rate.
Bank
Loans
The
fund
invests
in
bank
loans,
which
represent
an
interest
in
amounts
owed
by
a
borrower
to
a
syndicate
of
lenders.
Bank
loans
are
generally
noninvestment
grade
and
often
involve
borrowers
whose
financial
condition
is
highly
leveraged.
The
fund
may
invest
in
fixed
and
floating
rate
loans,
which
may
include
senior
floating
rate
loans;
secured
and
unsecured
loans,
second
lien
or
more
junior
loans;
and
bridge
loans
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global
Multi-Sector
Bond
Fund
or
bridge
facilities.
Certain
bank
loans
may
be
revolvers
which
are
a
form
of
senior
bank
debt,
where
the
borrower
can
draw
down
the
credit
of
the
revolver
when
it
needs
cash
and
repays
the
credit
when
the
borrower
has
excess
cash.
Certain
loans
may
be
“covenant-lite”
loans,
which
means
the
loans
contain
fewer
maintenance
covenants
than
other
loans
(in
some
cases,
none)
and
do
not
include
terms
which
allow
the
lender
to
monitor
the
performance
of
the
borrower
and
declare
a
default
if
certain
criteria
are
breached.
As
a
result
of
these
risks,
the
fund’s
exposure
to
losses
may
be
increased.
Bank
loans
may
be
in
the
form
of
either
assignments
or
participations.
A
loan
assignment
transfers
all
legal,
beneficial,
and
economic
rights
to
the
buyer,
and
transfer
typically
requires
consent
of
both
the
borrower
and
agent.
In
contrast,
a
loan
participation
generally
entitles
the
buyer
to
receive
the
cash
flows
from
principal,
interest,
and
any
fee
payments
on
a
portion
of
a
loan;
however,
the
seller
continues
to
hold
legal
title
to
that
portion
of
the
loan.
As
a
result,
the
buyer
of
a
loan
participation
generally
has
no
direct
recourse
against
the
borrower
and
is
exposed
to
credit
risk
of
both
the
borrower
and
seller
of
the
participation.
Bank
loans
often
have
extended
settlement
periods,
generally
may
be
repaid
at
any
time
at
the
option
of
the
borrower,
and
may
require
additional
principal
to
be
funded
at
the
borrowers’
discretion
at
a
later
date
(e.g.
unfunded
commitments
and
revolving
debt
instruments).
Until
settlement,
the
fund
maintains
liquid
assets
sufficient
to
settle
its
unfunded
loan
commitments.
The
fund
reflects
both
the
funded
portion
of
a
bank
loan
as
well
as
its
unfunded
commitment
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments.
However,
if
a
credit
agreement
provides
no
initial
funding
of
a
tranche,
and
funding
of
the
full
commitment
at
a
future
date(s)
is
at
the
borrower’s
discretion
and
considered
uncertain,
a
loan
is
reflected
in
the
Portfolio
of
Investments
only
if,
and
only
to
the
extent
that,
the
fund
has
actually
settled
a
funding
commitment.
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

fails

perform.

TAXES
Generally,
no

(Price

a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
T.

a
sub-advisory
agreement(s)
with
one
or
more
of
its
wholly
owned
subsidiaries,
to
provide
investment
advisory
services
to
the
fund.
The
investment
management
agreement
between
the
fund
and
Price
Associates
provides
for
an
annual
investment
management
fee,
which
is
computed
daily
and
paid
monthly. The
fee
consists
of
an
individual
fund
fee,
equal
to
0.19%
of
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets,
and
a
group
fee.
The
group
fee
rate
is
calculated
based
on
the
combined
net
assets
of
certain
mutual
funds
sponsored
by

for

billion
of
assets
to
0.260%
for
assets
in
excess
of

billion.
The
fund’s
group
fee
is
determined
by
applying
the
group
fee
rate
to
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets. At
November
30,
2023,
the

OTHER
MATTERS
Unpredictable
events
such
as
environmental
or
natural
disasters,
war
and
conflict,
terrorism,
geopolitical
events,
and
public
health
epidemics 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
global
markets,
including
reduced
liquidity
and
disruptions
in
trading
markets,
while
some
events
may
affect
certain
geographic
regions,
countries,
sectors,
and
industries
more
significantly
than
others,
and
exacerbate
other
pre-existing
political,
social,
and
economic
risks.
The
global
outbreak
of
COVID-19
and
the
related
governmental
and
public
responses
have
led
and
may
continue
to
lead
to
increased
market
volatility
and
the
potential
for
illiquidity
in
certain
classes
of
securities
and
sectors
of
the
market
either
in
specific
countries
or
worldwide.
In
February
2022,
Russian
forces
entered
Ukraine
and
commenced
an
armed
conflict,
leading
to
economic
sanctions imposed
on
Russia
that
target certain
of
its
citizens
and
issuers
and
sectors
of
the
Russian
economy,
creating
impacts
on
Russian-related
stocks
and
debt
and
greater
volatility
in
global
markets.
In
March
2023,
the
banking
industry
experienced
heightened
volatility,
which
sparked
concerns
of
potential
broader
adverse
market
conditions.
The
extent
of
impact
of
these
events
on
the
US
and
global
markets
is
highly
uncertain.
These
are
recent
examples
of
global
events
which
may
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
values
of
certain
portfolio
holdings
or
the
fund’s
overall
performance.
Management
is
actively
monitoring
the
risks
and
financial
impacts
arising
from
these
events.

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
24,
2023,
the
Board
was
presented
with
an
annual
assessment
that
was
prepared
by
the
LRC
on
behalf
of
the
Adviser
and
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.
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Global

Fund
For the
fund
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
the
annual
assessment
incorporated
a
report
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,
2022,
through
March
31,
2023.
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
fund’s
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
fund
no
less
frequently
than
annually.
During
the
period
covered
by
the
annual
assessment,
the
LRC
has
concluded,
and
reported
to
the
Board,
that
the
Liquidity
Program
continues
to
operate
adequately
and
effectively
and
is
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk.
