We work in a fast-paced environment, influenced by strict regulations and compliance.

What We Do
GIO is committed to successful outcomes for our clients. Our rigorous process, and the people behind it, makes that possible. GIO is responsible for:
- Ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the transaction process. We make certain this process runs seamlessly behind the scenes ensuring transactions are properly cleared, settled on time, and reported to all required parties.
- Analyzing investment performance. Our analysts carefully measure the return on an investment portfolio relative to market benchmarks. They regularly analyze allocation decisions, market risks, and security selection decisions.
- Integrating regulatory and legal compliance throughout our process. Our Investment Compliance associates provide real-time consultation and support to our trading and investment personnel around the globe.
- Protecting and promote the interests of shareholders. Our Fund Administration department serves internal and external clients by providing or overseeing accounting, financial reporting, tax, and valuation operations of T. Rowe Price-sponsored investment products.
- Providing valuable context about our fund data. Our Fund Accounting team owns the production of the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share for T. Rowe Price sponsored investment products which affects fund valuation and pricing.
