Powerful factors provide a relatively positive backdrop for equity markets in 2025.
By David J. Eiswert
In the second season of The Angle from T. Rowe Price, we explore the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Does AI represent the monumental change that headlines often indicate, or should we temper expectations? Where are we seeing the initial impacts on industries, and are there hidden risks to monitor? Host Jennifer Martin, portfolio specialist, and guests consider the evolving implications for financial markets and the global economy—including the potential opportunities and pitfalls.
Ten-year periods, rolling monthly, over the last 20 years ended 31/12/23.
T. Rowe Price equity strategies delivered higher average annualised returns than their benchmarks over time. And they showed better results in the vast majority of rolling monthly periods over a 20-year span.
That’s the result of our rigorous global research and an understanding of regions, sectors, and companies that allowed us to uncover equity investment opportunities with long-term growth potential.
That's the T. Rowe Price difference.
Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.
Analysis by T. Rowe Price. Represents a comparison of all marketable institutional equity composites compared with the official composite primary benchmark assigned to each. Excludes money market and index/passive composites. In order to avoid double-counting in the analysis, specialised composites viewed as substantially similar to strategies already included (e.g., constrained strategies, ex-single country excluded strategies, etc.) are also excluded. Composite net returns are calculated using the highest applicable separate account fee schedule for institutional clients. All figures in USD. The performance of each T. Rowe Price composite was compared against its official composite primary benchmark using 10-year rolling monthly periods from 1/1/04 to 31/12/23. For more information on the methodology of this analysis, please see Comparing T. Rowe Price Composites with Their Benchmarks, which is available upon request.
Analysis aggregates and averages the performance history of 52 equity composites covering 5,525 periods (33 U.S. equity composites covering 3,809 periods and 19 international equity composites covering 1,716 periods).

General Portfolio Risks
Equities
Capital risk – the value of your investment will vary and is not guaranteed. It will be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the base currency of the portfolio and the currency in which you subscribed, if different.
Equity risk – in general, equities involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments.Geographic concentration risk – to the extent that a portfolio invests a large portion of its assets in a particular geographic area, its performance will be more strongly affected by events within that area.
Hedging risk – a portfolio's attempts to reduce or eliminate certain risks through hedging may not work as intended.
Investment portfolio risk – investing in portfolios involves certain risks an investor would not face if investing in markets directly.
Management risk – the investment manager or its designees may at times find their obligations to a portfolio to be in conflict with their obligations to other investment portfolios they manage (although in such cases, all portfolios will be dealt with equitably).
Operational risk – operational failures could lead to disruptions of portfolio operations or financial losses.
