T.

Spectrum
Fund,
Inc.
(the
corporation)
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940
(the
1940
Act).
The Spectrum
International
Equity
Fund (the
fund)
is
a diversified,
open-end
management
investment
company
established
by
the
corporation.
The
fund broadly
diversifies
its
assets
within
specified
ranges
among
a
set
of
T.
Rowe
Price
mutual
funds
or
exchange-traded
funds
(ETFs)
(underlying
Price
Funds)
representing
specific
market
segments.
The
fund
seeks
long-term
capital
appreciation.
The fund
has
two
classes
of
shares
as
follows:
Spectrum
International
Equity
Fund (Investor
Class)
and
Spectrum
International
Equity
Fund –
I
Class
(I
Class).
I
Class
shares
require
a
$500,000
initial
investment
minimum,
although
the
minimum
generally
is
waived
or
reduced
for
financial
intermediaries,
eligible
retirement
plans
and
certain
other
accounts.
Each
class
has
exclusive
voting
rights
on
matters
related
solely
to
that
class;
separate
voting
rights
on
matters
that
relate
to
both
classes;
and,
in
all
other
respects,
the
same
rights
and
obligations
as
the
other
class.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis
of
Preparation
The fund
is
an
investment
company
and
follows
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
in
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
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
of
the
underlying
Price
Funds
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
of
the
underlying
Price
Funds.
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.
Income
tax-related
interest
and
penalties,
if
incurred,
are
recorded
as
income
tax
expense.
Dividends
received
from
underlying
Price
Fund
investments
are
reflected
as income;
capital
gain
distributions
are
reflected
as
realized
gain/loss.
Income
and
capital
gain
distributions
from
the
underlying
Price
Funds
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
to
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Spectrum
International
Equity
Fund
13
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Income
distributions,
if
any,
are
declared
and
paid
by
each
class
annually.
A
capital
gain
distribution,
if
any, may
also
be
declared
and
paid
by the
fund
annually.
Class
Accounting
Investment
management
and
administrative
expenses
incurred
by
each
class
are
charged
directly
to
the
class
to
which
they
relate.
Expenses
common
to
all
classes,
investment
income,
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
and
losses
are
allocated
to
the
classes
based
upon
the
relative
daily
net
assets
of
each
class.
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.
Indemnification
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the fund
may
provide
indemnification
in
connection
with
its
officers
and
directors,
service
providers
and/or
private
company
investments. The
fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown;
however,
the
risk
of
material
loss
is
currently
considered
to
be
remote.
NOTE

VALUATION
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.
Investments
in
the
underlying
Price
Funds
are
valued
at
their
closing
NAV
per
share
on
the
day
of
valuation. 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.
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
T.
ROWE
PRICE
Spectrum
International
Equity
Fund
14
valuation
risks;
establishes
and
applies
fair
value
methodologies;
tests
methodologies;
and
evaluates
pricing
vendors
and
pricing
agents.
The
duties
and
responsibilities
of
the
Valuation
Designee
are
performed
by
its
Valuation
Committee.
The
Valuation Designee
provides
periodic
reporting
to
the
Board
on
valuation
matters.
Various
valuation
techniques
and
inputs
are
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
financial
instruments.
GAAP
establishes
the
following
fair
value
hierarchy
that
categorizes
the
inputs
used
to
measure
fair
value:
Level
1 – quoted
prices
(unadjusted)
in
active
markets
for
identical
financial
instruments
that
the
fund
can
access
at
the
reporting
date
Level
2 – inputs
other
than
Level
1
quoted
prices
that
are
observable,
either
directly
or
indirectly
(including,
but
not
limited
to,
quoted
prices
for
similar
financial
instruments
in
active
markets,
quoted
prices
for
identical
or
similar
financial
instruments
in
inactive
markets,
interest
rates
and
yield
curves,
implied
volatilities,
and
credit
spreads)
Level
3 – unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Valuation Designee’s
assumptions
in
determining
fair
value)
Observable
inputs
are
developed
using
market
data,
such
as
publicly
available
information
about
actual
events
or
transactions,
and
reflect
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
Unobservable
inputs
are
those
for
which
market
data
are
not
available
and
are
developed
using
the
best
information
available
about
the
assumptions
that
market
participants
would
use
to
price
the
financial
instrument.
GAAP
requires
valuation
techniques
to
maximize
the
use
of
relevant
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.
On
June
30,
2024,
all
of
the
fund’s
financial
instruments
were
classified
as
Level
1,
based
on
the
inputs
used
to
determine
their
fair
values.

FEDERAL
INCOME
TAXES
Generally,
no
provision
for
federal
income
taxes
is
required
since the fund
intends
to continue
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
and
distribute
to
shareholders
all
of
its taxable
income
and
gains.
Distributions
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations
may
differ
in
amount
or
character
from
net
investment
income
and
realized
gains
for
financial
reporting
purposes.
Financial
reporting
records
are
adjusted
for
permanent
book/tax
differences
to
reflect
tax
character
but
are
not
adjusted
for
temporary
differences.
The
amount
and
character
of
tax-basis
distributions
and
composition
of
net
assets
are
finalized
at
fiscal
year-end;
accordingly,
tax-basis
balances
have
not
been
determined
as
of
the
date
of
this
report.
The
fund
intends
to
retain
realized
gains
to
the
extent
of
available
capital
loss
carryforwards.
Net
realized
capital
losses
may
be
carried
forward
indefinitely
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains.
As
of
December
31,
2023,
the
fund
had
$38,021,000
of
available

At
June

2024,
the
cost
of
investments
(including
derivatives,
if
any)
for
federal
income
tax
purposes
was
$1,022,973,000. Net
unrealized
gain
aggregated $322,763,000
at

of
which $396,020,000
related

and $73,257,000

OF
INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT
Each
year,
the
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
considers
the
continuation
of
the
investment
management
agreement
(Advisory
Contract)
between
the
fund
and
its
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser).
In
that
regard,
at
a
meeting
held
on
March
11–12,
2024
(Meeting),
the
Board,
including
all
of
the
fund’s
independent
directors
present
in
person
at
the
Meeting,
approved
the
continuation
of
the
fund’s
Advisory
Contract.
At
the
Meeting,
the
Board
considered
the
factors
and
reached
the
conclusions
described
below
relating
to
the
selection
of
the
Adviser
and
the
approval
of
the
Advisory
Contract.
The
independent
directors
were
assisted
in
their
evaluation
of
the
Advisory
Contract
by
independent
legal
counsel
from
whom
they
received
separate
legal
advice
and
with
whom
they
met
separately.
In
providing
information
to
the
Board,
the
Adviser
was
guided
by
a
detailed
set
of
requests
for
information
submitted
by
independent
legal
counsel
on
behalf
of
the
independent
directors.
In
considering
and
approving
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract,
the
Board
considered
the
information
it
believed
was
relevant,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
the
information
discussed
below.
The
Board
considered
not
only
the
specific
information
presented
in
connection
with
the
Meeting,
but
also
the
knowledge
gained
over
time
through
interaction
with
the
Adviser
about
various
topics.
The
Board
meets
regularly
and,
at
each
of
its
meetings,
covers
an
extensive
agenda
of
topics
and
materials
and
considers
factors
that
are
relevant
to
its
annual
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
advisory
contracts,
including
performance
and
the
services
and
support
provided
to
the
funds
and
their
shareholders.
Services
Provided
by
the
Adviser
The
Board
considered
the
nature,
quality,
and
extent
of
the
services
provided
to
the
fund
by
the
Adviser.
These
services
included,
but
were
not
limited
to,
directing
the
fund’s
investments
in
accordance
with
its
investment
program
and
the
overall
management
of
the
fund’s
portfolio,
as
well
as
a
variety
of
related
activities
such
as
financial,
investment
operations,
and
administrative
services;
compliance;
maintaining
the
fund’s
records
and
registrations;
and
shareholder
communications.
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
background
and
experience
of
the
Adviser’s
senior
management
team
and
investment
personnel
involved
in
the
management
of
the
fund,
as
well
as
the
Adviser’s
compliance
record.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
information
it
considered
with
respect
to
the
nature,
quality,
and
extent
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Adviser,
as
well
as
the
other
factors
considered
at
the
Meeting,
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract.

Investment
Performance
of
the
Fund
The
Board
took
into
account
discussions
with
the
Adviser
and
detailed
reports
that
it
regularly
receives
throughout
the
year
on
relative
and
absolute
performance
for
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
In
connection
with
the
Meeting,
the
Board
reviewed
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
that
compared
the
fund’s
total
returns,
as
well
as
a
wide
variety
of
other
previously
agreed-upon
performance
measures
and
market
data,
against
relevant
benchmark
indexes
and
peer
groups
of
funds
with
similar
investment
programs
for
various
periods
through
December
31,
2023.
Additionally,
the
Board
reviewed
the
fund’s
relative
performance
information
as
of
September
30,
2023,
which
ranked
the
returns
of
the
fund
for
various
periods
against
a
universe
of
funds
with
similar
investment
programs
selected
by
Broadridge,
an
independent
provider
of
mutual
fund
data.
In
the
course
of
its
deliberations,
the
Board
considered
performance
information
provided
throughout
the
year
and
in
connection
with
the
Advisory
Contract
review
at
the
Meeting,
as
well
as
information
provided
during
investment
review
meetings
conducted
with
portfolio
managers
and
senior
investment
personnel
during
the
course
of
the
year
regarding
the
fund’s
performance.
The
Board
also
considered
relevant
factors,
such
as
overall
market
conditions
and
trends
that
could
adversely
impact
the
fund’s
performance,
the
length
of
the
fund’s
performance
track
record,
and
how
closely
the
fund’s
strategies
align
with
its
benchmarks
and
peer
groups.
The
Board
noted
that,
as
of
December
31,
2023,
the
fund
lagged
its
benchmark
for
certain
performance
periods
and
the
fund’s
total
returns
ranked
in
the
fourth
quartile
for
certain
periods
when
compared
with
performance
peer
groups
selected
by
third-party
data
providers.
The
Adviser
provided
the
Board
with
information
addressing
the
fund’s
performance
relative
to
its
benchmarks
and
performance
peers
during
the
applicable
periods
and
the
primary
reasons
for
such
results.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
responses
relating
to
the
fund’s
performance
during
certain
of
the
evaluated
periods
and
noted
that
it
will
continue
to
monitor
the
fund’s
performance.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
information
it
considered
with
respect
to
the
fund’s
performance,
as
well
as
the
other
factors
considered
at
the
Meeting,
supported
the
Board’s
approval
of
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract.
Costs,
Benefits,
Profits,
and
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
reviewed
detailed
information
regarding
the
revenues
received
by
the
Adviser
under
the
Advisory
Contract
and
other
direct
and
indirect
benefits
that
the
Adviser
(and
its
affiliates)
may
have
realized
from
its
relationship
with
the
fund.
In
considering
soft-dollar
arrangements
pursuant
to
which
research
may
be
received
from
broker-dealers
that
execute
the
fund’s
portfolio
transactions,
the
Board
noted

that
during
2023
the
Adviser
paid
the
costs
of
research
services
for
all
client
accounts
that
it
advises,
including
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
However,
effective
January
1,
2024,
the
Adviser
will
begin
using
brokerage
commissions
in
connection
with
certain
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
securities
transactions
to
pay
for
research
when
permissible.
The
Board
received
information
on
the
estimated
costs
incurred
and
profits
realized
by
the
Adviser
from
managing
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds.
The
Board
also
reviewed
estimates
of
the
profits
realized
from
managing
the
fund
in
particular,
and
the
Board
concluded
that
the
Adviser’s
profits
were
reasonable
in
light
of
the
services
provided
to
the
fund.
The
Board
also
considered
whether
the
benefits
under
the
fee
levels
set
forth
in
the
Advisory
Contract
or
otherwise
from
any
economies
of
scale
realized
by
the
Adviser.
Under
the
fund’s
Advisory
Contract,
the
fund
pays
the
Adviser
an
all-inclusive
management
fee,
which
is
based
on
the
fund’s
average
daily
net
assets.
The
all-inclusive
management
fee
includes
investment
management
services
and
provides
for
the
Adviser
to
pay
all
of
the
fund’s
ordinary,
recurring
operating
expenses
except
for
interest;
expenses
related
to
borrowings,
taxes,
and
brokerage;
nonrecurring,
extraordinary
expenses;
and
any
acquired
fund
fees
and
expenses.
The
Adviser
has
generally
implemented
an
all-inclusive
management
fee
structure
in
situations
where
a
fixed
total
expense
ratio
is
useful
for
purposes
of
providing
certainty
of
fees
and
expenses
for
the
fund’s
investors
and
historically
has
sought
to
set
the
all-inclusive
management
fee
rate
at
levels
below
the
expense
ratios
of
comparable
funds
to
take
into
account
potential
future
economies
of
scale.
The
all-inclusive
management
fee
structure
also
provides
greater
flexibility
to
make
investment
changes,
including
underlying
fund
changes,
while
maintaining
a
certain
expense
ratio
for
investors.
In
addition,
the
Board
noted
that
the
funds
potentially
share
in
indirect
economies
of
scale
through
the
Adviser’s
ongoing
investments
in
its
business
in
support
of
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
including
investments
in
trading
systems,
technology,
and
regulatory
support
enhancements,
and
the
ability
to
possibly
negotiate
lower
fee
arrangements
with
third-party
service
providers.
The
Board
concluded
that
the
advisory
fee
structure
for
the
funds
provide
for
a
reasonable
sharing
of
benefits
from
any
economies
of
scale
with
the
funds’
investors.
Fees
and
Expenses
The
Board
was
provided
with
information
regarding
industry
trends
in
management
fees
and
expenses.
Among
other
things,
the
Board
reviewed
data
for
peer
groups
that
were
compiled
by
Broadridge,
which
compared:
(i)
contractual
management
fees,
actual
management
fees,
nonmanagement
expenses,
and
total
expenses
of
the
Investor
Class
of
the
fund
with
a

Broadridge
(Expense

and
(ii)
actual
management
fees,
nonmanagement

and
total

of
the
Investor
Class
of
the
fund
with
a
broader
set
of
funds
within
the
Lipper
investment
classification
(Expense
Universe).
The
Board
considered
the
fund’s
contractual
management
fee
rate,
actual
management
fee
rate,
and
total
expenses
(all
of
which
generally
reflect
the
all-inclusive
management
fee
rate
applicable
to
the
fund
and
do
not
deduct
the
operating
expenses
paid
by
the
Adviser
as
part
of
the
overall
management
fee)
in
comparison
with
the
information
for
the
Broadridge
peer
groups.
Broadridge
generally
constructed
the
peer
groups
by
seeking
the
most
comparable
funds
based
on
similar
investment
classifications
and
objectives,
expense
structure,
asset
size,
and
operating
components
and
attributes
and,
where
applicable,
ranked
funds
into
quintiles,
with
the
first
quintile
representing
the
funds
with
the
lowest
relative
expenses
and
the
fifth
quintile
representing
the
funds
with
the
highest
relative
expenses,
although
there
were
not
sufficient
funds
in
the
peer
group
to
rank
within
quintiles.
The
information
provided
to
the
Board
indicated
that
the
fund’s
contractual
management
fee
ranked
second
out
of
two
funds
(Expense
Group),
the
fund’s
actual
management
fee
rate
ranked
fifth
out
of
five
funds
(Expense
Group)
and
fifth
out
of
five
funds
(Expense
Universe),
and
the
fund’s
total
expenses
ranked
second
out
of
five
funds
(Expense
Group)
and
second
out
of
five
funds
(Expense
Universe).
The
Board
also
reviewed
the
fee
schedules
for
other
investment
portfolios
with
similar
mandates
that
are
advised
or
subadvised
by
the
Adviser
and
its
affiliates,
including
separately
managed
accounts
for
institutional
and
individual
investors;
subadvised
funds;
and
other
sponsored
investment
portfolios,
including
collective
investment
trusts
and
pooled
vehicles
organized
and
offered
to
investors
outside
the
United
States.
Management
provided
the
Board
with
information
about
the
Adviser’s
responsibilities
and
services
provided
to
subadvisory
and
other
institutional
account
clients,
including
information
about
how
the
requirements
and
economics
of
the
institutional
business
are
fundamentally
different
from
those
of
the
proprietary
mutual
fund
business.
The
Board
considered
information
showing
that
the
Adviser’s
mutual
fund
business
is
generally
more
complex
from
a
business
and
compliance
perspective
than
its
institutional
account
business
and
considered
various
relevant
factors,
such
as
the
broader
scope
of
operations
and
oversight,
more
extensive
shareholder
communication
infrastructure,
greater
asset
flows,
heightened
business
risks,
and
differences
in
applicable
laws
and
regulations
associated
with
the
Adviser’s
proprietary
mutual
fund
business.
In
assessing
the
reasonableness
of
the
fund’s
management
fee
rate,
the
Board
considered
the
differences
in
the
nature
of
the
services
required
for
the
Adviser
to
manage
its

mutual
fund
business
versus
managing
a
discrete
pool
of
assets
as
a
subadviser
to
another
institution’s
mutual
fund
or
for
an
institutional
account
and
that
the
Adviser
generally
performs
significant
additional
services
and
assumes
greater
risk
in
managing
the
fund
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds
than
it
does
for
institutional
account
clients,
including
subadvised
funds.
On
the
basis
of
the
information
provided
and
the
factors
considered,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
fees
paid
by
the
fund
under
the
Advisory
Contract
are
reasonable.
Approval
of
the
Advisory
Contract
As
noted,
the
Board
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract.
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
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Contract
(including
the
fees
to
be
charged

thereunder).
