What drove fund performance during the past 12 months?
The global investment-grade fixed income market declined over the trailing 12-month period amid rising bond yields, despite many central banks easing monetary policies, and weakening global currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Despite sovereign yield volatility, the fund’s credit holdings, especially among high yield, emerging markets, securitized, and bank loans, helped drive positive performance. With central banks looking to unwind restrictive monetary policy, credit sectors largely benefited from increased risk appetite and demand for attractive yields.
The fund utilizes short credit positions to reflect an investment view where our global research team has low conviction, and this sleeve of the fund weighed on performance amid a generally healthy environment for credit assets.
The fund employs a flexible, cross-sector approach to source high-conviction security selection from our global multi-sector research platform while aiming to deliver attractive returns and targeting lower beta to high yield and equities. Over the period, the fund took a mostly defensive stance in terms of credit risk and duration, but we moderated that position somewhat after the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election cleared.
The fund held material exposure to derivatives, including currency, interest rate, and credit derivatives, which we use to manage positioning more nimbly across the fund’s wide investment universe. Credit derivatives had a negative impact on performance, but other derivative exposure modestly aided returns for the period.
How has the fund performed?

The preceding line graph shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The fund’s performance information included in the line graph and table above is compared with a regulatory required index that represents an overall securities market (Regulatory Benchmark). In addition, the line graph and table may also include one or more indexes that more closely aligns to the fund's investment strategy (Strategy Benchmark(s)).

Market index returns do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns. The fund's total return figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any.Neither the fund’s returns nor the index returns reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemptions of fund shares.The fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of the fund’s future performance.Updated performance information can be found at www.troweprice.com.

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 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:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | |
| | | | | | |
Audit Fees | | | $46,029 | | | | $46,733 | |
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 $1,262,000 and $1,524,000, 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.
(i) Not applicable.
(j) Not applicable.

International
Funds,
Inc. (the
corporation) is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
1940
Act).
The
Dynamic
Credit
Fund
(the
fund)
is a
diversified, open-end
management
investment
company
established
by
the
corporation. The
fund
seeks total
return
through
a
combination
of
income
and
capital
appreciation.
The
fund
has three classes
of
shares:
the
Dynamic
Credit
Fund
(Investor
Class),
the
Dynamic
Credit
Fund–I
Class
(I
Class)
and
the
Dynamic
Credit
Fund–Z
Class
(Z
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.
The
Z
Class
is
only
available
to
funds
advised
by
T.
Rowe
Price

Inc.
and
its
affiliates
and
other
clients
that
are
subject
to
a
contractual
fee
for
investment
management
services. 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.

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
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Dynamic
Credit
Fund
companies are
reflected
as
dividend income;
capital
gain
distributions
are
reflected
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

are
allocated
based

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.
Eastern
time,
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

PRICE
Dynamic

of
income
tax
disclosures.
The
ASU
requires
public
entities,
on
an
annual
basis,
to
provide
disclosure
of
specific
categories
in
the
rate
reconciliation,
as
well
as
disclosure

this
ASU
are
required
to
be
applied
prospectively
and
are
effective
for
fiscal

after
December

Management
expects
that
adoption
of
the
guidance
will
not
have
a
material
impact
on
the

Indemnification
In

business, the
fund
may
provide
indemnification
in

with
its
officers

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
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Dynamic
Credit
Fund
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

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

services
consider
factors
such
as,
but

the
yield
or

of
bonds
of
comparable
quality,

securities,
including
exchange-traded
funds, listed
or

traded
on
a
securities
exchange

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

day
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices
for
domestic

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
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
year ended
December
31,
2024,
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
or
delivery
of
cash
or
other
assets.
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
December
31,
2024,

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

exchange

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
by
counterparties
is
not
included
in
the
fund’s
assets
because
the
fund
does
not
obtain
effective
control
over
those
assets.
For
bilateral
derivatives,
collateral
posted
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

where
the
contracts
were
cleared,
and
OTC
and
bilateral
derivatives
may
be
unwound
with

or

assigned
to
other
counterparties
to
allow
the

to

This
ability
is
subject
to
the

of
underlying

are
agreements
where
one

agrees
to
make
periodic

to
another

such
as

issuer
or
index
of
such

is
required
to
pay
the
buyer
the
difference
between
the
notional

a
specified
credit
event
may
affect
all

and
will
be
settled
based
upon
the
relative
weighting
of
the
affected
underlying

the
payment
risk
for
the
seller
of

is
inversely
related
to
the

OTHER
INVESTMENT
TRANSACTIONS
Consistent
with
its
investment
objective, the
fund
engages
in
the
following
practices
to
manage
exposure
to
certain
risks
and/or
to
enhance
performance.
The
investment
objective,
policies,
program,
and
risk
factors
of the
fund
are
described
more
fully
in the
fund’s prospectus
and
Statement
of
Additional
Information.
Emerging
and
Frontier
Markets
The fund
invests,
either
directly
or
through
investments
in
other
T.
Rowe
Price
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
a
greater
extent
frontier
markets, tend
to
have
economic
structures
that
are
less
diverse
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
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Dynamic
Credit
Fund
to
greater
price
volatility,
less
liquidity,
and
higher
rates
of
inflation
than
U.S.
securities.
Investing
in
frontier
markets
is
typically
significantly
riskier
than
investing
in
other
countries,
including
emerging
markets.
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;
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Dynamic
Credit
Fund
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.
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
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.

Fund
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

collateral
and
borrowing
fees,
net

Temporary
differences
between
book-basis
and
tax-basis
components
of
total
distributable
earnings
(loss)
arise
when
certain
items
of
income,
gain,
or
loss
are
recognized
in
different
periods
for
financial
statement
purposes
versus
for
tax
purposes;
these
differences
will
reverse
in
a
subsequent
reporting
period.
The
temporary
differences
relate
primarily
to
the
deferral
of
losses
from
wash
sales,
the
realization
of
gains/losses
on
certain
open
derivative
contracts
and
the
character
of
income
on
certain
derivatives
contracts.
The
loss
carryforwards
and
deferrals
primarily
relate
to
straddle
deferrals.
During
the
year
ended
December
31,
2024,
the
fund
utilized
$16,493,000
of
capital
loss
carryforwards.

FOREIGN TAXES
The
fund
is
subject
to
foreign
income
taxes
imposed
by
certain
countries
in
which
it
invests.
Additionally,
capital
gains
realized
upon
disposition
of
securities
issued
in
or
by
certain
foreign
countries
are
subject
to
capital
gains
tax
imposed
by
those
countries.
All
taxes
are
computed
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
foreign
tax
law,
and,
to
the
extent
permitted,
capital
losses
are
used
to
offset
capital
gains.
Taxes
attributable
to
income
are
accrued
by
the
fund
as
a
reduction
of
income.
Current
and
deferred
tax
expense
attributable
to
capital
gains
is
reflected
as
a
component
of
realized
or
change
in
unrealized
gain/
loss
on
securities
in
the
accompanying
financial
statements.
To
the
extent
that
the
fund
has
country
specific
capital
loss
carryforwards,
such
carryforwards
are
applied
against
net
unrealized
gains
when
determining
the
deferred

liability.
Any
deferred
tax
liability
incurred
by

is
included

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
0.22%
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
Price

applied
to
a
graduated
fee
schedule,
with
rates
ranging

The
fund’s

the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets. At
December
31,
2024,
the
effective
annual

rate
was
0.28%.
The Investor

to

The

for
expenses
previously
waived/paid
to
the

(1)
the
expense
limitation
in

at
the
time
such

We
conducted
our

performing

Such

included
examining,
on

APPROVAL
OF
SUBADVISORY
AGREEMENT
At
a
meeting
held
on
August
5,
2024
(Meeting),
the
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
considered
the
initial
approval
of
an
investment
subadvisory
agreement
(Subadvisory
Contract)
that
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
entered
into
with
T.
Rowe
Price
International
Ltd
(Subadviser)
on
behalf
of
the
fund.
The
Subadvisory
Contract
authorizes
the
Subadviser
to
have
investment
discretion
with
respect
to
all
or
a
portion
of
the
fund’s
portfolio.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Subadvisory
Contract
will
be
substantially
similar
to
other
subadvisory
agreements
that
are
in
place
for
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds
that
delegate
investment
management
responsibilities
to
affiliated
investment
advisers
and
that
the
Adviser
will
retain
oversight
responsibilities
with
respect
to
the
fund.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
new
subadvisory
arrangement
will
not
change
the
total
advisory
fees
paid
by
the
fund.
However,
under
the
Subadvisory
Contract,
the
Adviser
may
pay
the
Subadviser
up
to
60%
of
the
advisory
fees
that
the
Adviser
receives
from
the
fund.
At
the
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
materials
relevant
to
its
consideration
of
the
proposed
Subadvisory
Contract.
Each
year,
the
Board
considers
the
continuation
of
the
investment
management
agreement
(Advisory
Contract)
between
the
fund
and
the
Adviser.
The
fund’s
Advisory
Contract
was
most
recently
approved
by
the
Board
at
a
meeting
held
on
March
6–7,
2023
(March
Meeting).
A
discussion
of
the
basis
for
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
Advisory
Contract
is
included
in
the
fund’s
annual
shareholder
report
for
the
period
ended
May
31,
2024.
The
factors
considered
by
the
Board
at
the
Meeting
in
connection
with
approval
of
the
proposed
Subadvisory
Contract
were
substantially
similar
to
the
factors
considered
at
the
March
Meeting
in
connection
with
the
approval
to
continue
the
Advisory
Contract.
The
independent
directors
were
assisted
in
their
evaluation
of
the
Subadvisory
Contract
by
independent
legal
counsel
from
whom
they
received
separate
legal
advice
and
with
whom
they
met
separately.
Following
discussion
at
the
Meeting,
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
fund’s
independent
directors,
approved
the
Subadvisory
Contract
between
the
Adviser
and
Subadviser
on
behalf
of
the
fund.
No
single
factor
was
considered
in
isolation
or
to
be
determinative
to
the
decision.
Rather,
the
Board
concluded,
in
light
of
a
weighting
and
balancing
of
all
factors
considered,
that
it
was
in
the
best
interests
of
the
fund
and
its
shareholders
for
the
Board
to
approve
the
Subadvisory
Contract
effective
August
6,
2024.
