Important Information
For more information on the methodology of this analysis, please visit troweprice.com/complete-performance-study.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. Results from other time periods may differ. Active investing may have higher costs than passive investing and may underperform the broad market or passive peers with similar objectives. Passive investing may lag the performance of actively managed peers as holdings are not reallocated based on changes in market conditions or outlooks on specific securities.

The analysis was conducted at the Morningstar category level analyzing all open-end funds and ETFs within U.S. Morningstar categories where passive funds are present.
