TMSL | Small-Mid Cap ETF |
For more insights from T. Rowe Price investment professionals, go to troweprice.com. |
■ | U.S. small-cap and mid-cap stocks advanced in 2023, despite spending most of the year out of favor in an extremely narrow market, thanks to a late-period rally primarily influenced by the Federal Reserve signaling the conclusion of its rate-hike campaign and the initiation of rate cuts in 2024. |
■ | The Small-Mid Cap ETF outperformed the Russell 2500 Index and its secondary benchmark, the Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds Index, from inception on June 14, 2023, through December 31, 2023. |
■ | Stock selection within industrials and business services added value. In health care, stock choices boosted relative returns, though our overweight allocation modestly mitigated those gains. Conversely, security selection in utilities detracted. |
■ | We employ fundamental research and active, bottom-up stock selection to construct a portfolio of reasonably valued companies with high-quality characteristics within the U.S. small- and mid-cap universes. We value companies with attractive relative valuation, improving earnings and cash flow, high return on capital, attractive operating margins, and sound balance sheet and financial management. |
■ | Timely delivery of important documents |
■ | Convenient access to your documents anytime, anywhere |
■ | Strong security protocols to safeguard sensitive data |

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 Mr. Paul F. McBride qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. McBride 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:
2023 | 2022 | |||||||||||||
Audit Fees | $25,357 | $ | ||||||||||||
Audit-Related Fees | - | |||||||||||||
Tax Fees | - | |||||||||||||
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 $1,524,000 and $2,037,000, 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.
