The

underperformed
the
MSCI
Emerging

Index
Net
and
the
Lipper
Emerging

Average
for
the
12-month
period
ended
October

Stock
selection
in
China
detracted,
while
our
choice
of
securities
and
an
overweight
position
in
consumer
discretionary
also
hurt.
Conversely,
our
holdings
in
materials
and
communication
services
benefited.
The
portfolio
has
a
large
allocation
to
the
consumer
discretionary
sector,
where
we
believe
our
holdings
are
well
placed
to
gain
from
strong
company
fundamentals
and
increasing
household
disposable
income,
particularly
in
Asia.
Meanwhile,
we
have
a
long-standing
underweight
position
in
materials
and
energy,
although
we
have
started
to
find
select
companies
within
those
sectors
that
fit
our
process
and
philosophy.
Value
as
a
style
has
significantly
outperformed
growth
over
the
past
three
years,
which
has
been
a
challenge
for
our
“growth
at
a
reasonable
price”
framework.
However,
we
remain
confident
in
our
process
and
its
ability
to
find
and
invest
in
companies
that
we
believe
can
achieve
sustained
long-term
growth,
particularly
as
growth
has
become
scarcer.

Commentary

Dear
Investor
Most
major
global
stock
and
bond
indexes
produced
positive
results
during
your
fund’s
fiscal
year,
the
12-month
period
ended
October
31,
2023,
although
a
downturn
over
the
past
six
months
offset
some
of
the
strong
gains
recorded
in
the
first
half
of
the
period.
Global
economies
managed
to
avoid
the
recession
that
was
widely
predicted
at
the
start
of
2023,
but
signs
that
central
banks
might
need
to
keep
interest
rates
higher
for
longer
than
previously
expected
weighed
on
market
sentiment.
Growth
stocks
outperformed
value
shares
over
the
12-month
period,
and
stocks
in
developed
markets
generally
outpaced
their
counterparts
in
emerging
markets.
Currency
movements
were
mixed
over
the
period,
although
a
weaker
dollar
versus
major
European
currencies
was
beneficial
for
U.S.
investors
in
European
securities.
Technology
companies
benefited
from
investor
enthusiasm
for
artificial
intelligence
developments
and
produced
some
of
the
strongest
results
in
the
equity
market.
Within
the
S&P
500
Index,
the
communication
services
and
information
technology
sectors
were
lifted
by
the
rally
in
tech-related
companies
and
recorded
significant
gains.
The
financials
sector
partly
recovered
from
the
failure
of
three
large
regional
banks
during
the
period
but
still
finished
in
negative
territory.
Corporate
fundamentals
were
broadly
supportive.
Although
year-over-year
earnings
growth
contracted
in
the
first
and
second
quarters
of
2023,
results
were
better
than
expected,
and
preliminary
estimates
pointed
to
a
resumption
of
growth
in
the
third
quarter.
The
U.S.
economy
was
the
strongest
among
the
major
markets
during
the
period,
with
gross
domestic
product
growth
coming
in
at
4.9%
in
the
third
quarter’s
initial
estimate,
the
highest
since
the
end
of
2021.
Growth
in
Europe
and
Japan
was
more
sluggish,
and
China’s
economy
was
beset
by
worries
about
its
property
sector
after
an
initial
boost
from
its
decision
at
the
end
of
2022
to
lift
most
of
its
pandemic-related
restrictions.
A
protracted
debt
ceiling
standoff
in
the
U.S.,
the
ongoing
conflict
between
Ukraine
and
Russia,
and
the
outbreak
of
war
in
the
Middle
East
following
the
attack
on
Israel
by
Hamas
produced
headwinds
for
markets
at
various
times.
Investors
also
remained
focused
on
inflation
as
price
increases
moderated
but
remained
well
above
the
Federal
Reserve’s
2%
target.
In
response,
the
Fed
continued
to
raise
its
short-term
lending
benchmark
rate,
lifting
it
to
a
target
range
of
5.25%
to
5.50%
by
the
end
of
July,
the
highest
level
since
March
2001.
U.S.
Treasury
yields
increased
as
the
Fed
tightened
monetary
policy
and
investors
priced
in
the
possibility
that
the
central
bank
may
have
to
keep
rates
higher
for
longer
than
previously
anticipated.
In
addition,
Treasuries
were
pressured
by
Fitch
Ratings’
decision
to
downgrade
the
credit
rating
of
U.S.
government
debt
from
the
highest
level,
AAA,
to
AA+
along
with
expectations
for
higher
levels
of
borrowing
by
the
Treasury
Department.
The
yield
on
the
benchmark
10-year
Treasury
note
briefly
reached
5.00%
in
October
for
the
first
time
since
late
2007
before
falling
back
to
4.88%
by
period-end.
Increasing
yields
over
the
past
six
months
led
to
weak
results
across
most
of
the
fixed
income
market,
although
high
yield
bonds,
which
are
less
sensitive
to
rising
rates,
held
up
relatively
well
as
default
rates
remained
low
by
historical
standards.
Global
economies
and
markets
showed
surprising
resilience
in
2023,
but
considerable
uncertainty
remains
as
we
look
ahead
to
2024.
Geopolitical
events,
the
path
of
monetary
policy,
and
the
impact
of
the
Fed’s
rate
hikes
on
the
economy
all
raise
the
potential
for
additional
volatility.
We
believe
this
environment
makes
skilled
active
management
a
critical
tool
for
identifying
risks
and
opportunities,
and
our
investment
teams
will
continue
to
use
fundamental
research
to
identify
securities
that
have
the
potential
to add
value
to
your
portfolio
over
the
long
term.

you
for
your
continued
confidence

INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE 
The
fund
seeks
long-term
growth
of
capital
through
investments
primarily
in
the
common
stocks
of
companies
located
(or
with
primary
operations)
in
emerging
markets.
FUND
COMMENTARY
How
did
the
fund
perform
in
the
past 12
months?
The
Institutional
Emerging
Markets
Equity
Fund
returned
5.54%
in
the
12-month
period
ended
October
31,
2023.
The
fund
underperformed
the
MSCI
Emerging
Markets
Index
Net
and
the
Lipper
Emerging
Markets
Funds
Average.
(
Past
performance
cannot
guarantee
future
results
.
)
What
factors
influenced
the
fund’s
performance?
Emerging
markets
rose
during
the
reporting
period.
Equities
started
the
year
strong
on
optimism
about
China’s
reopening
and
broader
expectations
that
major
central
banks
would
slow
the
pace
of
their
interest
rates
hikes
amid
signs
of
cooling
inflation.
Sentiment
reversed
in
the
latter
part
of
the
period
as
financial
markets
were
challenged
against
a
backdrop
of
elevated
oil
prices,
a
hawkish
U.S.
Federal
Reserve,
and
ongoing
supply
pressures,
which
raised
concerns
that
interest
rates
may
be
kept
higher
for
longer.
China
struggled
as
fears
about
its
faltering
recovery
and
property
deleveraging
cycle
weighed
on
consumer
sentiment
significantly,
particularly
among
consumer
staples
and
consumer
discretionary
names.
Stock
selection
in
China
detracted.
Here,
our
investments
in
Chinese
auto
dealer
Zhongsheng
Group
and
sportswear
company
Li
Ning
were
a
notable
drag
on
relative
performance
as
their
shares
declined
on
the
broader
negative
sentiment
about
waning
demand.
Zhongsheng
Group
reported
a
decline
in
new
car
sales
in
the
first
half
of
the
year,
which
further
weighed
on
its
stock
price.
Overall,
we
retain
conviction
in
our
China
holdings
and
believe
their
strong
underlying
fundamentals
position
them
well
to
regain
growth
once
the
economy
stabilizes
and
sentiment
improves.
(Please
refer
to
the
portfolio
of
investments
for
a
complete
list
of
holdings
and
the
amount
each
represents
in
the
portfolio.)
Overweighting
consumer
discretionary
and
consumer
staples
also
hurt,
as
did
our
security
picks
in
both
sectors.
Stocks
in
consumer
discretionary
pulled
back
over
the
review
period
as
investor
confidence
was
weak
amid
fears
around
China’s
slowing
economy.
In
consumer
staples,
shares
of
Nahdi
Medical,
a
leading
pharmacy
retailer
in
Saudi
Arabia,
retreated
after
it
reported
disappointing
earnings
that
showed
weak
operating
performance
in
the
second
quarter
of
the
year.
Our
holdings
in
materials
added
value,
due
to
both
security
selection
and
an
underweight
allocation.
Shares
in
POSCO,
a
large
steel
producer
in
South
Korea,
contributed
substantially
to
relative
returns.
We
took
advantage
of
the
strong
stock
performance
and
sold
out
of
the
company
in
the
third
quarter
to
lock
in
gains
from
its
outperformance.
In
our
view,
POSCO
currently
trades
at
an
expensive
valuation
relative
to
its
fundamentals.
Stock
choices
in
communication
services
was
another
area
of
relative
strength.
Tencent
Holdings,
the
dominant
social
media
platform
in
China,
remained
resilient
despite
the
weak
macroeconomic
backdrop
in
the
country.
The
firm
reported
robust
earnings
that
were
driven
by
better-than-expected
advertising
revenue
and
gross
margins.
We
remain
optimistic
about
Tencent’s
potential
to
demonstrate
durable
growth
and
further
monetize
in
areas
including
advertising,
e-commerce,
and
internet
finance.
In
our
view,
the
company
has
a
significant
opportunity
to
gain
share
in
the
international
game
market.
How
is
the
fund
positioned?
Our
process
is
focused
on
owning
high-quality
companies
that
we
believe
can
achieve
sustainable
earnings
growth
over
many
years
and
that
we
can
hold
for
the
long
run.
The
attributes
we
look
for
include
qualitative
factors,
such
as
our
assessment
of
management
teams,
but
also
quantitative
factors
like
return
on
equity,
profit
margins,
earnings
stability,
and
lower
levels
of
leverage.
Some
of
our
largest
sector
overweights
relative
to
the
index
are
in
consumer
staples
and
consumer
discretionary.
We
have
strong
conviction
in
the
consumer
across
emerging
markets,
which
we
believe
will
benefit
shares
as
personal
consumption
recovers.
In
contrast,
we
are
slightly
underweight
the
financials
sector
on
a
relative
basis,
although
we
have
been
taking
advantage
of
improved
valuations
and
adding
to
some
of
our
holdings.
We
also
have
underweight
positions
in
communication
services
and
energy.

We
are
invested
in
several
companies
in
consumer
discretionary
that
we
think
are
well
placed
to
gain
from
increasing
household
disposable
income
over
the
longer
term,
particularly
in
Asia.
Over
the
review
period,
we
purchased
shares
in
Las
Vegas
Sands,
a
global
developer
and
operator
of
gaming
resorts
in
Macau
and
Singapore.
The
company
gained
market
share
in
its
premium
mass
segment,
and
we
anticipate
that
it
is
likely
a
beneficiary
of
pent-up
gaming
demand.
Meanwhile,
we
sold
our
holding
in
Meituan,
a
Chinese
food
delivery
company,
as
we
believe
the
company
is
facing
increased
competitive
pressures
and
will
likely
lose
market
share
in
the
long
term.
In
the
information
technology
sector,
we
sold
our
shares
in
ASML,
the
dominant
supplier
of
lithography
equipment
for
semiconductor
manufacturing
based
in
the
Netherlands.
We
chose
to
moderate
our
holding
in
the
stock
and
reallocated
the
funds
to
other
areas
of
the
market
that
we
find
more
compelling.
The
portfolio
has
a
diverse
and
global
exposure
to
financials.
We
have
a
considerable
absolute
position
here
as
we
believe
there
is
a
significant
long-term
structural
growth
runway
for
credit
and
insurance
penetration
in
a
number
of
emerging
markets.
We
bought
shares
of
Saudi
National
Bank,
Saudi
Arabia’s
largest
bank,
to
take
advantage
of
weakness
in
its
share
price.
In
our
view,
the
company
has
surpassed
earlier
headwinds
associated
with
its
intention
to
purchase
a
stake
in
Credit
Suisse
and
is
likely
to
scale
down
going
forward.
We
have
a
long-standing
underweight
position
in
energy
as
we
generally
do
not
see
many
firms
in
this
space
with
the
kind
of
long-term
growth
characteristics
that
we
favor.
That
said,
we
found
some
select
opportunities
that
we
added
to
over
the
review
period.
We
bought
more
shares
of
Reliance
Industries,
an
industrial
conglomerate
based
in
India.
In
our
view,
Reliance
is
a
high-growth
market
participant
that
will
benefit
from
strong
digital
and
retail
revenues.
In
the
longer
term,
we
have
conviction
that
the
company’s
robust
balance
sheet
and
its
ability
to
effectively
navigate
government
regulations
will
reflect
strongly
in
its
share
price.
What
is
portfolio
management’s
outlook?
Our
investment
style
is
“growth
at
a
reasonable
price”;
this
has
been
challenged
in
an
environment
where
emerging
market
stocks
with
growth
characteristics
have
underperformed
value
names.
However,
we
continue
to
believe
in
our
approach
and
our
ability
to
make
the
most
of
the
investment
potential
in
emerging
markets
in
the
long
run,
particularly
in
a
world
where
growth
is
likely
to
become
scarcer.
We
remain
cautious
about
the
economic
outlook
in
China
as
it
continues
to
struggle
with
poor
consumer
demand,
a
sluggish
recovery,
and
ongoing
problems
in
its
property
market.
While
this
weak
macroeconomic
environment
has
created
stiffer
near-term
headwinds
than
we
anticipated,
we
are
positive
about
the
medium-
to
longer-term
outlook
of
our
holdings
here
and
believe
they
are
well
positioned
to
outperform
when
sentiment
improves.
We
have
identified
a
broad
range
of
investment
opportunities
in
Brazil
that
are
trading
at
attractive
valuations.
In
our
view,
the
growth
outlook
for
the
country
this
year
remains
positive,
and
we
continue
to
find
areas
of
the
market
that
we
believe
will
be
beneficiaries
of
its
robust
macroeconomic
backdrop.
Broadly
speaking,
while
the
interest
rate
cycle
has
taken
much
longer
to
reach
its
peak
than
anticipated,
inflation
metrics
in
most
markets
have
started
to
show
signs
of
improvement,
which
has
increased
the
likelihood
that
we
are
near,
if
not
at,
the
top.

Over

long

we
believe
that
quality
compounders
will
outperform
in

We
also
believe
that
as
growth
in

non-zero

highlight
the

5
RISKS
OF
INVESTING
IN
THE
FUND
Investments
in
emerging
market
countries
are
subject
to
greater
risk
and
overall
volatility
than
investments
in
the
U.S.
and
other
developed
markets.
Emerging
market
countries
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.
In
addition
to
the
risks
associated
with
investing
outside
the
U.S.,
emerging
markets
are
more
susceptible
to
governmental
interference,
political
and
economic
uncertainty,
local
taxes
and
restrictions
on
the
fund’s
investments,
less
efficient
trading
markets
with
lower
overall
liquidity,
and
more
volatile
currency
exchange
rates.
The
value
of
the
fund’s
investments
may
decrease,
sometimes
rapidly
or
unexpectedly,
due
to
factors
affecting
an
issuer
held
by
the
fund,
particular
industries,
or
the
overall
securities
markets.
A
variety
of
factors
can
increase
the
volatility
of
the
fund’s
holdings
and
markets
generally,
including
political
or
regulatory
developments;
recessions;
inflation;
rapid
interest
rate
changes;
war,
military
conflict,
or
acts
of
terrorism;
natural
disasters;
and
outbreaks
of
infectious
illnesses
or
other
widespread
public
health
issues,
such
as
the
coronavirus
pandemic
and
related
governmental
and
public
responses
(including
sanctions).
Certain
events
may
cause
instability
across
global
markets,
including
reduced
liquidity
and
disruptions
in
trading
markets,
while
some
events
may
affect
certain
geographic
regions,
countries,
sectors,
and
industries
more
significantly
than
others.
Government
intervention
in
markets
may
impact
interest
rates,
market
volatility,
and
security
pricing.
These
adverse
developments
may
cause
broad
declines
in
market
value
due
to
short-term
market
movements
or
for
significantly
longer
periods
during
more
prolonged
market
downturns.
Many
Asian
economies
have
at
various
times
been
negatively
affected
by
inflation,
currency
devaluations,
an
overreliance
on
international
trade
and
exports,
particularly
for
certain
commodities,
political
and
social
instability,
and
less
developed
financial
systems
and
securities
trading
markets.
Trade
restrictions,
unexpected
decreases
in
exports,
changes
in
government
policies,
expropriation
and/or
nationalization
of
assets,
confiscatory
taxation,
or
natural
disasters
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
companies
doing
business
in
Asia.
The
Asian
region
may
be
significantly
affected
by
political
unrest,
military
conflict,
economic
sanctions,
and
less
demand
for
Asian
products
and
services.
For
a
more
thorough
discussion
of
risks,
please
see
the
fund’s
prospectus.

GROWTH
OF
$1
MILLION 
This
chart
shows
the
value
of
a
hypothetical
$1
million
investment
in
the
fund
over
the
past
10
fiscal
year
periods
or
since
inception
(for funds
lacking
10-year
records).
The
result
is
compared
with
benchmarks,
which
include
a
broad-based
market
index
and
may
also
include
a
peer
group
average
or
index.
Market
indexes
do
not
include
expenses,
which
are
deducted
from
fund returns
as
well
as
mutual fund
averages
and

EXPENSE
EXAMPLE
As
a
mutual
fund
shareholder,
you
may
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads,
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees,
and
other
fund
expenses.
The
following
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
fund
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
most
recent
six-month
period
and
held
for
the
entire
period.
Actual
Expenses
The
first
line
of
the
following
table
(Actual)
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
on
this
line,
together
with
your
account
balance,
to
estimate
the
expenses
that
you
paid
over
the
period.
Simply
divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(for
example,
an
$8,600
account
value
divided
by
$1,000
=
8.6),
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
on
the
first
line
under
the
heading
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your
account
during
this
period.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
Purposes
The
information
on
the
second
line
of
the
table
(Hypothetical)
is
based
on
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
derived
from
the
fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
5%
per
year
rate
of
return
before
expenses
(not
the
fund’s
actual
return).
You
may
compare
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
fund
with
other
funds
by
contrasting
this
5%
hypothetical
example
and
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
the
other
funds.
The
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period.
You
should
also
be
aware
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
table
highlight
only
your
ongoing
costs
and
do
not
reflect
any
transaction
costs,
such
as
redemption
fees
or
sales
loads.
Therefore,
the
second
line
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only
and
will
not
help
you
determine
the
relative
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
To
the
extent
a
fund
charges
transaction
costs,
however,
the
total
cost
of
owning
that
fund
is
higher.

is a
nondiversified, open-end

-
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.
 Income
tax-related
interest
and
penalties,
if
incurred,
are
recorded
as
income
tax
expense.
 Dividends
received
from other
investment
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.
 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
and
paid annually.
 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.
Capital
Transactions
 Each
investor’s
interest
in
the
net
assets
of the
fund
is
represented
by
fund
shares. The
fund’s

New
Accounting
Guidance
 In
June
2022,
the
FASB
issued
Accounting
Standards
Update
(ASU),
ASU
2022-03,
Fair
Value
Measurement
(Topic
820)
Fair
Value
Measurement
of
Equity
Securities
Subject
to
Contractual
Sale
Restrictions,
which
clarifies
that
a
contractual
restriction
on
the
sale
of
an
equity
security
is
not
considered
part
of
the
unit
of
account
of
the
equity
security
and,
therefore,
is
not
considered
in
measuring
fair
value.
The
amendments
under
this
ASU
are
effective
for
fiscal
years
beginning
after
December
15,
2023;
however,
the
fund
opted
to
early
adopt,
as
permitted,
effective
December
1,
2022. Adoption
of
the
guidance
did not
have
a
material
impact
on
the fund's
financial  statements.
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.

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
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 
Equity
securities,
including
exchange-traded
funds, listed
or
regularly
traded
on
a
securities
exchange
or
in
the
over-the-counter
(OTC)
market
are
valued
at
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
particular
day
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
closing
bid
and
asked
prices
for
domestic
securities
and
the
last
quoted
sale
or
closing
price
for
international
securities.
The
last
quoted
prices
of
non-U.S.
equity
securities
may
be
adjusted
to
reflect
the
fair
value
of
such
securities
at
the
close
of
the
NYSE,
if
the Valuation
Designee
determines
that
developments
between
the
close
of
a
foreign
market
and
the
close
of
the
NYSE
will
affect
the
value
of
some
or
all
of
the fund’s portfolio
securities.
Each
business
day,
the
Valuation
Designee uses
information
from
outside
pricing
services
to
evaluate
the
quoted
prices
of
portfolio
securities
and,
if
appropriate,
decide whether
it
is
necessary
to
adjust
quoted
prices
to
reflect
fair
value
by
reviewing
a
variety
of
factors,
including
developments
in
foreign
markets,
the
performance
of
U.S.
securities
markets,
and
the
performance
of
instruments
trading
in
U.S.
markets
that
represent
foreign
securities
and
baskets
of
foreign
securities. The Valuation
Designee
uses
outside
pricing
services
to
provide
it
with
quoted
prices
and
information
to
evaluate
or
adjust
those
prices.
The Valuation
Designee
cannot
predict
how
often
it
will
use
quoted
prices
and
how
often
it
will
determine
it
necessary
to
adjust
those
prices
to
reflect
fair
value.
Investments
in
mutual
funds
are
valued
at
the
mutual
fund’s
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. 
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

20
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

issuer;
discounted
cash
flows;
yield
to

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

determined
for
a
security
may
be
materially
different
from
the
value
that
could
be
realized
upon
the
sale
of
that
security.

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
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.
China
A
Shares
 The
fund
invests
in
certain
Chinese
equity
securities
(A
shares)
that
have
limited
availability
to
investors
outside
of
China.
The
fund
gains
access
to
the
A
share
market
through
the
Shanghai-Hong
Kong
Stock
Connect
program
(Shanghai
Stock
Connect),
through
the
Shenzhen-Hong
Kong
Stock
Connect
program
(Shenzhen
Stock
Connect),
or
through
a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
Price
Associates,
which
serves
as
the
registered
Qualified
Foreign
Institutional
Investor
(QFII)
for
all
participating
T.
Rowe
Price-
sponsored
products
(each
a
participating
account).
Related
to
A
shares
held
through
the
QFII,
investment
decisions
are
specific
to
each
participating
account,
and
each
account
bears
the
economic
consequences
of
its
holdings
and
transactions
in
A
shares.
Further,
the
fund’s
ability
to
repatriate
cash
associated
with
its
A
shares
held
through
the
QFII
is
subject
to
certain
restrictions
and
administrative
processes
involving
the
Chinese
government;
consequently,
the
fund
may
experience
substantial
delays
in
gaining
access
to
its
assets
or
incur
a
loss
of
value
in
the
event
of
noncompliance
with
governmental
requirements.
A
shares
acquired
through
the
QFII
are
valued
using
the
onshore
renminbi
exchange
rate
(CNY),
and
those
acquired
through
the
Shanghai
Stock
Connect
and
the
Shenzhen
Stock
Connect
are
valued
using
the
offshore
renminbi
exchange
rate
(CNH).
CNY
and
CNH
exchange
rates
may
differ;
accordingly,
A
shares
of
the
same
issue
purchased
through
different
channels
may
not
have
the
same
U.S.
dollar
value.
Generally,
the
fund
is
not
subject
to
capital
gains
tax
in
China
related
to
its
A
share
investments
through
the
QFII
(pursuant
to
a
temporary
exemption
from
tax
on

derived
from
the

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.
The fund
files
U.S.
federal,
state,
and
local
tax
returns
as
required. The
fund’s
tax
returns
are
subject
to
examination
by
the
relevant
tax
authorities
until
expiration
of
the
applicable
statute
of
limitations,
which
is
generally
three
years
after
the
filing
of
the
tax
return,
but
which
can
be
extended
to
six
years
in
certain
circumstances.
Tax
returns
for
open
years
have
incorporated
no
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
a
provision
for
income
taxes.
Capital
accounts
within
the
financial
reporting
records
are
adjusted
for
permanent
book/tax
differences
to
reflect
tax
character
but
are
not
adjusted
for
temporary
differences.
The
permanent
book/tax
adjustments,
if
any,
have
no
impact
on
results
of
operations
or
net
assets.
The
permanent
book/tax
adjustments
relate
primarily
to
the
character
of
income
on
passive
foreign
investment
companies,
the
recharacterization
of
distributions,
the
character
of
foreign
capital
gains
taxes
and
differences
in
treatment
of
corporate
actions.
The
tax
character
of
distributions
paid
for
the
periods
presented
was
as
follows:
At
October
31,
2023,
the
tax-basis
cost
of
investments
(including
derivatives,
if
any)
and
gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
were
as
follows:
At
October
31,
2023,
the
tax-basis
components
of
accumulated
net
earnings
(loss)
were
as
follows:
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
and
differences
in
treatment
of
corporate
actions.
The
loss
carryforwards
and
deferrals
primarily
relate
to
capital
loss
carryforwards.
Capital
loss
carryforwards
are
available
indefinitely
to
offset

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

such
carryforwards
are
applied
against
net

BORROWING
To
provide
temporary
liquidity,
the
fund
may
borrow
from
other
T.
Rowe
Price-sponsored
mutual
funds
under
an
interfund
borrowing
program
developed
and
managed
by
Price
Associates.
The
program
permits
the
borrowing
and
lending
of
cash
at
rates
beneficial
to
both
the
borrowing
and
lending
funds.
Pursuant
to
program
guidelines,
loans
totaling
10%
or
more
of
a
borrowing
fund’s
total
assets
require
collateralization
at
102%
of
the
value
of
the
loan;
loans
of
less
than
10%
are
unsecured.
During
the
year ended
October
31,
2023,
the
fund
incurred
$6,000
in
interest
expense
related
to
outstanding
borrowings
on
four
days
in
the
average
amount
of
$10,150,000
and
at
an
average
annual
rate
of
5.41%.
At

there
were
no

OTHER
MATTERS
Unpredictable
events
such
as
environmental
or
natural
disasters,
war
and
conflict,
terrorism,
geopolitical
events,
and
public
health
epidemics and
similar
public
health
threats
may
significantly
affect
the
economy
and
the
markets
and
issuers
in
which
the fund
invests.
Certain
events
may
cause
instability
across
global
markets,
including
reduced
liquidity
and
disruptions
in
trading
markets,
while
some
events
may
affect
certain
geographic
regions,
countries,
sectors,
and
industries
more
significantly
than
others,
and
exacerbate
other
pre-
existing
political,
social,
and
economic
risks.
The
global
outbreak
of
COVID-19
and
the
related
governmental
and
public
responses
have
led
and
may
continue
to
lead
to
increased
market
volatility
and
the
potential
for
illiquidity
in
certain
classes
of
securities
and
sectors
of
the
market
either
in
specific
countries
or
worldwide.
In
February
2022,
Russian
forces
entered
Ukraine
and
commenced
an
armed
conflict,
leading
to
economic
sanctions imposed
on
Russia
that
target certain
of
its
citizens
and
issuers
and
sectors
of
the
Russian
economy,
creating
impacts
on
Russian-related
stocks
and
debt
and
greater
volatility
in
global
markets.
In
March
2023,
the
banking
industry
experienced
heightened
volatility,
which
sparked
concerns
of
potential
broader
adverse
market
conditions.
The
extent
of
impact
of
these
events
on
the
US
and
global
markets
is
highly
uncertain.
These
are
recent
examples
of
global
events
which
may
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
values
of
certain
portfolio
holdings
or
the
fund’s
overall
performance.
Management
is
actively
monitoring
the
risks
and
financial
impacts
arising
from
these
events.

Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
portfolio
of
investments,
of
T.
Rowe
Price
Institutional
Emerging

(one

referred

as
of
October

the

statement
of

for

October

the
statement
of

in
net

for
each

of
the
five
years
in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2023
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
October
31,
2023,
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the

changes
in

and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the

in
the
period
ended
October
31,
2023
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(PCAOB)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
of
these
financial
statements
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
October
31,
2023
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian,
transfer
agent
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

LIQUIDITY
RISK
MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM
In accordance
with
Rule
22e-4
(Liquidity
Rule)
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended,
the
fund
has
established
a
liquidity
risk
management
program
(Liquidity
Program)
reasonably
designed
to
assess
and
manage
the
fund’s
liquidity
risk,
which
generally
represents
the
risk
that
the
fund
would
not
be
able
to
meet
redemption
requests
without
significant
dilution
of
remaining
investors’
interests
in
the
fund.
The
fund’s
Board
of
Directors
(Board)
has
appointed
the
fund’s
investment
adviser,
T.
Rowe
Price
Associates,
Inc.
(Adviser),
as
the
administrator
of
the
Liquidity
Program.
As
administrator,
the
Adviser
is
responsible
for
overseeing
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and,
among
other
things,
is
responsible
for
assessing,
managing,
and
reviewing
with
the
Board
at
least
annually
the
liquidity
risk
of
each
T.
Rowe
Price
fund.
The
Adviser
has
delegated
oversight
of
the
Liquidity
Program
to
a
Liquidity
Risk
Committee
(LRC),
which
is
a
cross-
functional
committee
composed
of
personnel
from
multiple
departments
within
the
Adviser.
The
Liquidity
Program’s
principal
objectives
include
supporting
the
T.
Rowe
Price
funds’
compliance
with
limits
on
investments
in
illiquid
assets
and
mitigating
the
risk
that
the
fund
will
be
unable
to
timely
meet
its
redemption
obligations.
The
Liquidity
Program
also
includes
a
number
of
elements
that
support
the
management
and
assessment
of
liquidity
risk,
including
an
annual
assessment
of
factors
that
influence
the
fund’s
liquidity
and
the
periodic
classification
and
reclassification
of
a
fund’s
investments
into
categories
that
reflect
the
LRC’s
assessment
of
their
relative
liquidity
under
current
market
conditions.
Under
the
Liquidity
Program,
every
investment
held
by
the
fund
is
classified
at
least
monthly
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories
based
on
estimations
of
the
investment’s
ability
to
be
sold
during
designated
time
frames
in
current
market
conditions
without
significantly
changing
the
investment’s
market
value.
As
required
by
the
Liquidity
Rule,
at
a
meeting
held
on
July
24,
2023,
the
Board
was
presented
with
an
annual
assessment
that
was
prepared
by
the
LRC
on
behalf
of
the
Adviser
and
addressed
the
operation
of
the
Liquidity
Program
and
assessed
its
adequacy
and
effectiveness
of
implementation,
including
any
material
changes
to
the
Liquidity
Program
and
the
determination
of
each
fund’s
Highly
Liquid
Investment
Minimum
(HLIM).
The
annual
assessment
included
consideration
of
the
following
factors,
as
applicable:
the
fund’s
investment
strategy
and
liquidity
of
portfolio
investments
during
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions,
including
whether
the
investment
strategy
is
appropriate
for
an
open-end
fund,
the
extent
to
which
the
strategy
involves
a
relatively
concentrated
portfolio
or
large
positions
in
particular
issuers,
and
the
use
of
borrowings
for
investment
purposes
and
derivatives;
short-term
and
long-term
cash
flow
projections
covering
both
normal
and
reasonably
foreseeable
stressed
conditions;
and
holdings
of
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
as
well
as
available
borrowing
arrangements.
For the
fund
and
other
T.
Rowe
Price
funds,
the
annual
assessment
incorporated
a
report
related
to
a
fund’s
holdings,
shareholder
and
portfolio
concentration,
any
borrowings
during
the
period,
cash
flow
projections,
and
other
relevant
data
for
the
period
of
April
1,
2022,
through
March
31,
2023.
The
report
described
the
methodology
for
classifying
a
fund’s
investments
(including
any
derivative
transactions)
into
one
of
four
liquidity
categories,

no
less
frequently

annually.
During

assessment,
the

has
concluded,
and
reported
to
the
Board,
that
the
Liquidity

designed
to

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 Ms. Teresa Bryce Bazemore qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Bazemore 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:

 

   

2023

   

2022

 

Audit Fees

      $25,925         $24,349  

Audit-Related Fees

    1,457       -  

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 $1,584,000 and $2,760,000, 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.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Investments.

(a) Not applicable. The complete schedule of investments is included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

(b) Not applicable.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

Not applicable.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There has been no change to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

(a) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of this filing and have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of that date, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in this Form N-CSR was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported timely.

(b) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are aware of no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 


Item 12. Disclosure of Securities Lending Activities for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

(a)(1)    

The registrant’s code of ethics pursuant to Item 2 of Form N-CSR is attached.

Separate certifications by the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and required by Rule 30a-2(a) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, are attached.

     (3)    

Written solicitation to repurchase securities issued by closed-end companies: not applicable.
