Manager’s Letter

Fellow Shareholders

The U.S. and global economies spiraled into an economic downturn of historic proportions during the year ended May 31, 2009, although scattered signs of stabilization began to appear toward the end of our reporting period. U.S. stocks plunged in this volatile environment, but a strong rally that began in March helped most major indices generate positive returns over the last six months. Most domestic fixed-income sectors generated solid 12-month returns as securities with a yield advantage over U.S. Treasuries rebounded strongly since the end of 2008. Although high-yield securities have rallied sharply year-to-date, their returns were still negative over the 12-month period as a result of the flight to higher-quality securities during the most turbulent months of 2008. Non-U.S. equities tumbled over the first half of the reporting period, but rallied in the latter half, led by emerging market stocks. Each of the Personal Strategy Funds declined for the 12-month period, but strong gains in the closing months of our reporting period helped to pare the losses.

The past year has been extraordinary by any measure as both the economy and markets have taken investors on a roller coaster ride of volatility. While we cannot predict what the coming months will bring, we are cautiously optimistic that the economy is stabilizing and expect a gradual recovery to begin in the coming quarters. Relying on our disciplined, fundamental approach to identify attractive long-term investment opportunities for our shareholders, we are encouraged by recent market strength and continue to position the funds for an eventual economic and market recovery.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The U.S. economy is mired in one of the deepest and longest downturns since the Great Depression, with gross domestic product contracting at an annualized rate exceeding 5% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009. The unemployment rate rose from 6.5% in October to 9.4% at the end of our reporting period, with further increases likely over the coming months. Consumers cut back on spending in the face of the uncertain employment outlook, shrinking home values, and a declining stock market.

The historic scope of the downturn led to an equally historic policy response from Washington. The Fed lowered the federal funds rate to a range of 0% to 0.25% in December, pushing the pedal of its traditional monetary driver to the floor. Through its “quantitative easing” program, the Fed began purchasing Treasury debt across a broad range of maturities in order to increase the money supply, keep long-term rates at low levels, and encourage investors to buy other securities. The Treasury Department initiated the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), committing extraordinary sums of money to some of the nation’s largest financial institutions in order to ensure their solvency. Congress also enacted a $787 billion stimulus package in late February—the largest such program in absolute terms in history. Scattered signs of economic stabilization began to emerge toward the end of our reporting period, including a moderating pace of home price declines and increases in both consumer confidence and spending. While the economy appears to be in the process of bottoming, we anticipate economic weakness will persist for some time.

Stock Markets
U.S. stocks tumbled during most of the last 12 months as global economies and financial systems weakened significantly following last September’s shocking collapse of Lehman Brothers, and investors around the world fled the capital markets in favor of U.S. Treasury securities. However, equities rallied sharply from their March lows amid early signs that the economy is in the process of bottoming and that government measures to stabilize the financial markets may be starting to bear fruit.

Growth and value stocks across all market capitalizations suffered extraordinary losses over the last year. Over the last six months of our reporting period, stocks have rebounded moderately, with the S&P 500 Index returning 4.05%.

Non-U.S. stocks also plunged over the first half of our reporting period as the economic and financial crisis spread and investors fled equities en masse. In the one-year period, equities in developed and emerging markets suffered severe losses. However, markets rebounded sharply in the last six months, helped by the U.S. dollar’s weakness versus other currencies and the strong rebound in emerging markets. Stocks in developed European markets produced less robust returns than emerging markets, while Japanese stocks were mostly flat in dollar terms.

Bond Markets
U.S. Treasury yields declined across all maturities over the last year as investors rushed to the safety of securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and the Fed slashed the fed funds rate. In the last six months, however, Treasury yields have rebounded from their lowest levels (and Treasury bond prices have fallen) in anticipation of heavy new issuance in the months ahead and concerns that the government’s massive stimulus efforts could produce significant inflation after the economy recovers. As the financial markets have stabilized, fixed-income investors have become less risk averse and sought attractive yields and discounted valuations in other bond market sectors, especially the high-yield market.

Domestic bond returns over the last year were mostly positive, thanks to a brisk rebound in 2009 by non-Treasury bond sectors that had lagged Treasuries in the fourth quarter of last year. In the one-year period, agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries fared best, while municipal and asset-backed securities produced more modest gains. Investment-grade corporate bonds were flat and high-yield bonds fell moderately. In the last six months, high-yield debt produced extraordinary gains, as signs of stabilization in financial markets and the economy encouraged investors to seek higher-yielding securities. Asset-backed securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, and municipal securities were less robust but still performed very well. Agency mortgage-backed securities lagged with moderate gains. U.S. government bonds were flat, as prices fell in response to a rebound in Treasury yields, offsetting income. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures the performance of domestic taxable investment-grade bonds, returned 5.10% in the last six months and 5.36% for the one-year period.

STRATEGY AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW

All of the Personal Strategy Funds posted negative returns for the 12-month period and underperformed their respective benchmarks. However, strong security selection within the portfolios and solid performance from our high-yield bonds boosted second-half returns, which significantly outpaced the benchmarks and helped pare the losses suffered over the first six months of the reporting period.

Stocks
The global economic slide in 2008 and early 2009 weighed on global stocks of virtually all styles and market capitalization ranges over the last 12 months. While the funds’ equity holdings were among the largest drags on absolute 12-month performance across both U.S. and non-U.S. equities, our U.S. stocks outperformed for the period relative to the style-specific benchmarks. Fund performance relative to the combined index portfolios was hampered by our tactical underweight position in small-cap stocks, which outperformed relative to their large-cap counterparts.

Among domestic equities, strong stock selection across both large-cap and small-cap stocks helped returns relative to the Russell 3000 Index over the last 12 months. However, underperformance in our international portfolios versus the MSCI All Country World Index ex-U.S. mitigated the outperformance of our domestic equity holdings, primarily due to relative weakness in our emerging markets stock allocation. Returns were volatile and varied by both region and sector in the emerging markets universe. After a challenging 2008, Asian and Latin American shares rallied sharply over the last six months behind improved commodities demand, but plunging oil prices and ongoing financial and economic challenges plagued our holdings in the Middle East and Africa throughout last year.

We increased our allocation to international equity relative to domestic equity toward the end of the period because we believe that valuations are favorable in non-U.S. markets as they currently price in continued economic weakness. We have also reduced our overweight to large-cap versus small-cap stocks as the valuation differential has moved closer to long-term levels. Additionally, we increased our allocation to value stocks and, as a result, moved to a neutral allocation between growth and value equities. We believe that value shares stand to benefit as corporate earnings prospects increase from their trough levels, even though growth stocks with consistent above-market earnings have fared better during the current earnings downturn and are inexpensive relative to historic valuations.

Over the last six months, strong stock selection in the underlying portfolios was the primary driver of our outperformance on both an absolute and relative basis. Depressed market valuations in late 2008 and early 2009 provided opportunities for our underlying managers to purchase stocks of companies with strong long-term prospects selling at attractive levels. This supported favorable returns in the most recent six-month period as markets rebounded. Additionally, our tactical overweight to equities was also a strong contributor to performance as stocks outperformed bonds. The funds benefited from an overweight to growth stocks relative to value stocks for most of the period; however, an underweight to small-cap stocks relative to large-cap stocks hurt performance as small-cap stocks outperformed.

Our equity holdings provide a good example of the volatility experienced over the past year. The funds’ financial and information technology stocks were among our biggest detractors for the 12-month period; however, many of the same stocks performed very well over the last six months, helping to drive the strong positive performance for the period. Among the funds’ larger equity positions, global investment bank Goldman Sachs has diversified capital markets operations, a leading prime brokerage business, and a large and diversified asset management business. Benefiting from a unique franchise that has even greater differentiation now that its weaker peers have fallen away, we believe that Goldman is poised for solid long-term gains. Despite the significant challenges of the past year, State Street appears well positioned to regain its former blue chip status as long as credit markets remain sound and the economy resumes some level of growth in the coming quarters. Driven by a stable of segment-leading products like the iconic iPhone and iPod, technology holding Apple is a well-managed, cash-rich company that continues to generate strong sales and earnings growth even in this challenging environment. Although the short- to intermediate-term environment remains challenging, we believe that Web powerhouse Google is a solid long-term investment based on the strength of its core search engine business, with substantial growth opportunities in its YouTube video content site and mobile phone search business. (Please refer to each fund’s separate financial statements for a complete listing of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

Bonds
Our allocation to high-yield bonds drove the performance of our fixed-income portfolio. Over the 12-month period, concerns about rising defaults and brisk selling by many investment managers drove yields on high-yield bonds to all-time highs in late 2008. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) As a result, our exposure to high-yield bonds weighed on the funds’ absolute returns for the year as the latter half of 2008 proved to be the worst period in the history of the asset class. The poor performance of high-yield bonds also detracted from the funds’ relative 12-month performance as the sector significantly underperformed our fixed-income benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. Over the last six months, however, the performance of high-yield bonds improved dramatically as lower-quality issues rallied from their historic lows, generating both robust income and capital appreciation as investors became increasingly risk tolerant. We believe that the prospects of an eventual economic recovery should help to support the high-yield market and offset pressures from rising default rates.

Within our fixed-income allocation, we remain underweight high-yield bonds relative to investment grade although we have moderated that underweight due to the significant spread between the yields of high-yield bonds and Treasuries. Additionally, we have initiated an allocation to emerging markets bonds and continue to increase the position as yield spreads remain wide relative to recent history and expanded policy initiatives from the International Monetary Fund have lessened the default risks. Over the long term, we believe our exposure to emerging markets bonds expands our opportunity set, offering enhanced diversification and income potential. Emerging markets bonds offer an attractive risk/reward profile as volatility has subsided significantly since the late 1990s. The asset class is now more diverse and liquid, the underlying investor base has become much more stable, and credit quality has improved along with the economic fundamentals of the sector. We have also increased our allocation to non-U.S. dollar bonds.

Personal Strategy Income Fund

The Personal Strategy Income Fund returned 12.37% for the six-month period ended May 31, 2009, significantly outperforming both its combined index portfolio and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. For the 12-month period, the fund posted a -12.80% return, modestly trailing its combined index portfolio while underperforming the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index. The fund’s high-yield bond exposure and strong equity performance helped returns over the last six months of the reporting period. However, these same asset classes weighed on the fund’s 12-month returns as their strong performance over recent months could not overcome the losses from 2008. Relative to their style benchmarks, security selection in underlying portfolios benefited returns over both the 6- and 12-month periods.

We continue to overweight the fund’s equity exposure relative to fixed income given the low yields on government bonds. While the Fed’s quantitative easing program has lowered U.S. Treasury rates, an increased supply of new Treasuries could provide upward pressure on interest rates. At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s overall target equity allocation was 45% versus a neutral allocation of 40%, and we have sought to regularly rebalance back to the target equity allocation when strong equity markets move our allocation above the target level. We maintain a modest underweight to small-cap stocks versus large-caps, although that underweight has been moderated due to valuations in the small-cap sector. Relative underperformance by small-cap stocks in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 narrowed the gap between small-cap and large-cap valuations.

Within fixed income, we maintain an overweight position in investment-grade U.S. bonds and remain underweight in high-yield bonds, but have moderated that underweight as a result of the attractive valuations in the high-yield sector. Additionally, we initiated a position in emerging markets bonds and continue to increase our allocations to both emerging markets bonds as well as non-U.S. dollar bonds. The fund’s target allocation to bonds stood at 43% versus a 40% neutral allocation.

Personal Strategy Balanced Fund

For the six-month period ended May 31, 2009, the Personal Strategy Balanced Fund posted a 15.04% return and significantly outperformed both its combined index portfolio and the Merrill Lynch-Wilshire Capital Market Index. For the 12-month period, the fund recorded a -20.08% return, underperforming both the combined index portfolio and the Merrill Lynch-Wilshire index. Our allocation to high-yield bonds along with strong equity results helped performance over the last six months of the reporting period. However, these same assets weighed on the fund’s returns for the year as their strong performance over recent months could not overcome the losses from 2008. Positive security selection within underlying portfolios relative to their style-specific benchmarks benefited the fund’s 6- and 12-month returns.

Based mainly on the low yields among government bonds, we continue to overweight the fund’s equity exposure relative to fixed income. While the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program has resulted in lower U.S. Treasury rates, increased Treasury issuance supply could pressure interest rates higher. At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s overall target equity allocation was 65% versus a neutral allocation of 60%, and we have sought to regularly rebalance to the target equity allocation when strong equity markets move our allocation above the target level. Although we maintain a modest underweight to small-cap relative to large-cap stocks, we have reduced the underweight as relative underperformance by small-caps in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 have moved small- and large-cap valuations closer together.

Among the fund’s fixed-income allocations, we maintained an overweight position in investment-grade U.S. bonds and remained underweight to high-yield bonds, although we have reduced the size of this underweight due to the outlook for high-yield issues as a result of the historically depressed valuations in the sector. Additionally, we initiated a position in emerging markets bonds and continue to increase our allocations to both emerging markets bonds as well as non-U.S. dollar bonds. The fund’s target allocation to bonds stood at 32% versus a 30% neutral allocation.

Personal Strategy Growth Fund

For the six-month period ended May 31, 2009, the Personal Strategy Growth Fund returned 15.98%, significantly outperforming both its combined index portfolio and the Merrill Lynch-Wilshire Capital Market Index. For the 12-month period, the fund posted a -28.04% return, lagging both the combined index portfolio and the Merrill Lynch-Wilshire index. The fund’s high-yield bond exposure and strong equity performance helped performance over the last six months of the reporting period. However, these same asset classes weighed on the fund’s 12-month returns as their strong performance over recent months could not overcome the losses of 2008. Positive security selection within underlying portfolios relative to style-specific benchmarks contributed positively to returns over the 6- and 12-month periods.

We continue to overweight the fund’s equity exposure relative to fixed income, considering the low yields on government bonds. While the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program has lowered rates on U.S. Treasuries, new issuance and increased supply may put upward pressure on interest rates. At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s overall target equity allocation was 85% versus a neutral allocation of 80%, and we have sought to regularly rebalance to the target equity allocation when strong equity markets move our allocation above the target level. We maintain a modest underweight to small-cap stocks in relation to large-caps, although we have moderated this underweight due to valuations in the small-cap sector as relative underperformance in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 narrowed the valuation differential with large-caps.

Among our fixed-income allocations, we maintain an overweight position in investment-grade U.S. bonds and remain underweight in high-yield bonds. However, we reduced the size of this underweight position as the outlook for high-yield issues improved due to the historically depressed valuations in the sector. Additionally, we initiated a position in emerging markets bonds and continue to increase our allocations to both emerging markets bonds as well as non-U.S. dollar bonds. The fund’s target allocation to bonds and cash was 15% versus a 20% neutral allocation.

OUTLOOK

We continue to overweight the fund’s equity exposure relative to fixed income given low yields on government bonds. While the U.S. Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program has lowered U.S. Treasury rates, elevated levels of new Treasury supply could provide upward pressure on interest rates. We have moved to a modest overweight in both developed and emerging non-U.S. equity markets relative to U.S. equities based on attractive valuations. The long-term growth story of emerging markets remains promising, although the timing and scope of recovery will vary from country to country.

We have moved to a neutral bias between growth and value stocks. The value segment could benefit as corporate earnings prospects begin to tick up from their low levels, although growth stocks with consistent above-market earnings have fared better during the current earnings downturn. We have reduced our underweight to small-cap stocks relative to large-caps as underperformance by small-cap stocks in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 has brought valuations closer in line with each other.

Among bonds, we are modestly underweighting high-yield bonds relative to investment-grade corporates in light of ongoing economic weakness and rising default rates. This highlights the importance of our fundamental credit research, which remains a critical part of our security-selection process in the current uncertain environment.

We realize that the volatility and losses of the past year have been extremely upsetting for our fellow shareholders. However, we are encouraged by the recent signs of stabilization in economic conditions and the funds’ performance. We continue to believe that our commitment to broad diversification across asset classes and our emphasis on strong fundamental research in seeking investment opportunities will continue to serve our clients well over the long term.

RISKS OF INVESTING

As with all stock and bond mutual funds, each fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the stock or bond markets, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Stock markets can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic developments, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive environment. In addition, the investment manager’s assessment of companies held in a fund may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance even in rising markets.

Bonds are subject to interest rate risk, the decline in bond prices that usually accompanies a rise in interest rates, and credit risk, the chance that any fund holding could have its credit rating downgraded or that a bond issuer will default (fail to make timely payments of interest or principal), potentially reducing the fund’s income level and share price. High-yield corporate bonds could have greater price declines than funds that invest primarily in high-quality bonds. Companies issuing high-yield bonds are not as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings, so the bonds are usually considered speculative investments.

Funds that invest overseas may carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

FUND 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 expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in 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 in 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.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual small-account maintenance fee of $10, generally for accounts with less than $2,000 ($500 for UGMA/UTMA). The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $25,000 or more, accounts employing automatic investing, and IRAs and other retirement plan accounts that utilize a prototype plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price (although a separate custodial or administrative fee may apply to such accounts). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Personal Strategy Balanced Fund (the fund), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is one portfolio established by the corporation. The fund commenced operations on July 29, 1994. The fund seeks the highest total return over time consistent with an emphasis on both capital growth and income. The fund pursues this objective by investing in a diversified portfolio typically consisting of about 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% money market securities.

NOTE1-SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basisof Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Fund management believes that estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the securities.

InvestmentTransactions,InvestmentIncome,andDistributions Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-indexed bonds are reflected as interest income. Dividends received from mutual fund investments 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. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid by the fund, typically on an annual basis.

CurrencyTranslation 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 quoted by a major bank. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

RebatesandCredits Subject to best execution, the fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the fund in cash. Commission rebates are reflected as realized gain on securities in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $19,000 for the year ended May 31, 2009. Additionally, the fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at the custodian which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits, which are reflected as expenses paid indirectly.

NewAccounting Pronouncements On June 1, 2008, the fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures of fair value measurements in the financial statements. Adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.

On December 1, 2008, the fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (FAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on financial position, performance and cash flows. Adoption of FAS 161 had no impact on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.

NOTE2-VALUATION

The fund’s investments are reported at fair value as defined under FAS 157. The fund values its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business.

ValuationMethods Equity securities 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, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest 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 latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities.

Debt securities are generally traded in the OTC market. Securities with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of acquisition are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which considers the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Securities with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition generally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Financial futures contracts are valued at closing settlement prices. Swaps are valued at prices furnished by independent swap dealers or by an independent pricing service.

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors.

For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair value, the fund reviews 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. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

ValuationInputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices because the fund evaluates and determines whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the fund’s investments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on May 31, 2009:

Following is a reconciliation of the fund’s Level 3 investments for the year ended May 31, 2009:

NOTE3-DERIVATIVEINSTRUMENTS

During the year ended May 31, 2009, the fund invested in derivative instruments. As defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (FAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable; it requires little or no initial investment and permits or requires net settlement. The fund invests in derivatives only if the expected risks and rewards are consistent with its investment objectives, policies, and overall risk profile, as described in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes, such as seeking to hedge against declines in principal value, increase yield, invest in an asset with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than is possible through direct investment, or to adjust credit exposure. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and potentially much greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the instruments on which the derivatives are based. Investments in derivatives can magnify returns positively or negatively; however, the fund at all times maintains sufficient cash reserves, liquid assets, or other SEC-permitted asset types to cover the settlement obligations under its open derivative contracts. The fund’s period-end derivatives, as presented in the Portfolio of Investments or the tables following, generally are indicative of the volume of its derivative activity during the period.

The fund values its derivatives at fair value, as described below and in Note 2, and recognizes changes in fair value currently in its results of operations. Accordingly, the fund does not follow hedge accounting as prescribed by FAS 133, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the fund’s derivative instruments held as of May 31, 2009, and the related location on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Additionally, the amount of gains and losses on derivative instruments recognized in fund earnings during the six months ended May 31, 2009, and the related location on the accompanying Statement of Operations is summarized in the following table by primary underlying risk exposure:

FuturesContracts The fund is subject to interest rate risk and/or credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses futures contracts to help manage such risks. The fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rates, security prices, foreign currencies, and credit quality; as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to all or part of a target market; to enhance income; as a cash management tool; and/or to adjust credit exposure. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another of a specified amount of a specific underlying financial instrument at an agreed upon price, date, time, and place. The fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures, which generally are standardized as to maturity date, underlying financial instrument, and other contract terms. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin deposit); the margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the fund each day (variation margin) to settle daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, which reflect changes in the value of the underlying financial instrument. Variation margin is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until the contracts are closed. For a futures contract, the value included in net assets is the amount of unsettled variation margin; variation margin receivable is included in Other Assets and variation margin payable is included in Other Liabilities. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in hedged security values and interest rates and foreign currencies, and potential losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment.

CreditDefaultSwaps The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses swap contracts to help manage such risk. The fund may use swaps in an effort to manage exposure to changes in interest rates and credit quality, to adjust overall exposure to certain markets, to enhance total return or protect the value of portfolio securities, to serve as a cash management tool, and/or to adjust portfolio duration or credit exposure. Credit default swaps are agreements where one party (the protection buyer) agrees to make periodic payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for protection against specified credit events, such as certain defaults and bankruptcies related to an underlying credit instrument, index, or issuer thereof. Upon occurrence of a specified credit event, the protection seller is required to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount of the swap and the value of the underlying credit, either in the form of a net cash settlement or by paying the gross notional amount and accepting delivery of the relevant underlying credit. Generally, the payment risk for the seller of protection is inversely related to the current market price of the underlying credit; therefore, the payment risk increases as the price of the relevant underlying credit declines due to market valuations of credit quality. As of May 31, 2009, the notional amount of protection sold by the fund totaled $920,000 (0.0% of net assets), which reflects the maximum potential amount the fund could be required to pay under such contracts. Risks related to the use of credit default swaps include the possible inability of the fund to accurately assess the current and future creditworthiness of underlying issuers, the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the swap agreements, potential government regulation that could adversely affect the fund’s swap investments, and potential losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment.

CounterpartyRiskandCollateral The fund has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk associated with over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, including swaps and forward currency exchange contracts. Subject to certain minimum exposure requirements (which range from $100,000 to $500,000), collateral generally is determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all OTC derivative contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral, both pledged by and for the benefit of the fund, is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies. Securities posted as collateral by the fund are so noted in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments and remain in the fund’s net assets. As of May 31, 2009, securities valued at $323,000 had been posted by the fund for the benefit of counterparties and no collateral was pledged by counterparties for the benefit of the fund.

The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is the aggregate unrealized gain on appreciated contracts in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty for the benefit of the fund. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded futures and options contracts is minimal because the exchange’s clearinghouse provides protection against defaults. In accordance with standard derivatives agreements, counterparties to OTC derivatives may be able to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the fund fails to maintain sufficient asset coverage; its net assets decline by stated percentages; or it otherwise fails to meet the terms of its agreements, which would cause the fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty under the contract. For exchange-traded derivatives such as futures and options, each broker in its sole discretion may change margin requirements applicable to the fund.

NOTE4-OTHERINVESTMENTTRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks 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.

RestrictedSecurities The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.

RepurchaseAgreements All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities. Collateral is in the possession of the fund’s custodian or, for tri-party agreements, the custodian designated by the agreement. Collateral is evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds the delivery value of the repurchase agreements at maturity. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

SecuritiesLending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securities valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested by the fund’s lending agent(s) in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities or if collateral investments decline in value. Securities lending revenue recognized by the fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the lending agent. On May 31, 2009, the value of loaned securities was $9,088,000.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term and U.S. government securities aggregated $520,778,000 and $463,733,000, respectively, for the year ended May 31, 2009. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities aggregated $208,189,000 and $319,179,000, respectively, for the year ended May 31, 2009.

NOTE5-FEDERALINCOMETAXES

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from generally accepted accounting principles, and, therefore, may differ significantly 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.

Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to a tax practice that treats a portion of the proceeds from each redemption of capital shares as a distribution of taxable net investment income. For the year ended May 31, 2009, the following reclassifications, which had no impact on results of operations or net assets, were recorded to reflect tax character:

Distributions during the years ended May 31, 2009, and May 31, 2008, were characterized for tax purposes as follows:

At May 31, 2009, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales for tax purposes. The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. As of May 31, 2009, all unused capital loss carryforwards expire in fiscal 2017. Realized losses reflected in the accompanying financial statements include net capital losses realized between November 1 and the fund’s fiscal year-end that have not been recognized for tax purposes (Post-October loss deferrals).

NOTE6-RELATED PARTYTRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the manager or Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.25% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.285% for assets in excess of $220 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At May 31, 2009, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.31%.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates computes the daily share price and provides certain other administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the fund. For the year ended May 31, 2009, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $205,000 for Price Associates, $420,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., and $1,342,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements.

The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates and/or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment management fees.

The fund may also invest in certain T. Rowe Price institutional funds (underlying institutional funds) as a means of gaining efficient and cost-effective exposure to certain markets. The underlying institutional funds are open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and/or T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (collectively, the Price managers) and are considered affiliates of the fund. Each underlying institutional fund pays an all-inclusive management and administrative fee to its Price manager. To ensure that the fund does not incur duplicate fees, each Price manager has agreed to permanently waive a portion of its management fee charged to the fund in an amount sufficient to fully offset the fees paid by the underlying institutional funds related to fund assets invested therein. Accordingly, the accompanying Statement of Operations includes management fees permanently waived pursuant to this agreement. Annual fee rates and amounts waived within the accompanying Statement of Operations related to shares of the underlying institutional funds for the year ended May 31, 2009, are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

ShareholdersofT.Rowe Price PersonalStrategyBalancedFund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Fund (one of the portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at May 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and confirmation of the underlying funds by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT  

On March 10, 2009, the fund’s Board of Directors (Board) unanimously approved the investment advisory contract (Contract) between the fund and its investment manager, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Manager). The Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its review of the Contract, also taking into account information provided by the Manager during the course of the year, as discussed below:

Services ProvidedbytheManager
The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the fund by the Manager. These services included, but were not limited to, management of the fund’s portfolio and a variety of related activities, as well as financial and administrative services, reporting, and communications. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the Manager’s senior management team and investment personnel involved in the management of the fund. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Manager.

Investment PerformanceoftheFund
The Board reviewed the fund’s average annual total returns over the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods as well as the fund’s year-by-year returns and compared these returns with previously agreed upon comparable performance measures and market data, including those supplied by Lipper and Morningstar, which are independent providers of mutual fund data. On the basis of this evaluation and the Board’s ongoing review of investment results, and factoring in the severity of market turmoil in 2008, the Board concluded that the fund’s performance was satisfactory.

Costs,Benefits, Profits,andEconomiesofScale
The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Manager under the Contract and other benefits that the Manager (and its affiliates) may have realized from its relationship with the fund, including research received under “soft dollar” agreements. The Board noted that soft dollars were not used to pay for third-party, non-broker research during 2008. The Board also received information on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from advising T. Rowe Price mutual funds, as well as estimates of the gross profits realized from managing the fund in particular. The Board concluded that the Manager’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the fund. The Board also considered whether the fund or other funds benefit under the fee levels set forth in the Contract from any economies of scale realized by the Manager. Under the Contract, the fund pays a fee to the Manager composed of two components—a group fee rate based on the aggregate assets of certain T. Rowe Price mutual funds (including the fund) that declines at certain asset levels and an individual fund fee rate that is assessed on the assets of the fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fee structure for the fund continued to provide for a reasonable sharing of benefits from economies of scale with the fund’s investors.

Fees
The Board reviewed the fund’s management fee rate, operating expenses, and total expense ratio and compared them with fees and expenses of other comparable funds based on information and data supplied by Lipper. The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund’s management fee was above the median for comparable funds. The information also indicated that the fund’s expense ratio was at or below the median for comparable funds. The Board also reviewed the fee schedules for comparable privately managed accounts of the Manager and its affiliates. Management informed the Board that the Manager’s responsibilities for privately managed accounts are more limited than its responsibilities for the fund and other T. Rowe Price mutual funds that it or its affiliates advise. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the fees paid by the fund under the Contract were reasonable.

ApprovaloftheContract
As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the 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 to approve the continuation of the Contract, including the fees to be charged for services thereunder.

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/Trustees has determined that Ms. Karen N. Horn qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Horn is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

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 $1,922,000 and $1,529,000, 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.

(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 registrant’s second fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

EX-99.CODE ETH

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL     

OFFICERS OF THE PRICE FUNDS     

UNDER THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002     

I. General Statement. This Code of Ethics (the “Price Funds S-O Code”) has been designed 

to bring the Price Funds into compliance with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley 

Act of 2002 (the “Act”) rules promulgated by The Securities and Exchange Commission 

thereunder (“Regulations”). The Price Funds S-O Code applies solely to the Principal 

Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Controller of, or 

persons performing similar functions for, a Price Fund (whether such persons are employed by a 

Price Fund or third party) (“Covered Officers”). The “Price Funds” shall include each mutual 

fund that is managed, sponsored and distributed by affiliates of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. 

(“Group”). The investment managers to the Price Funds will be referred to as the “Price Fund 

Advisers.” A list of Covered Officers is attached as Exhibit A. 

The Price Fund Advisers have, along with their parent, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (“Group”) 

also maintained a comprehensive Code of Ethics and Conduct (the “Group Code”) since 1972, 

which applies to all officers, directors and employees of the Price Funds, Group and its affiliates. 

As mandated by the Act, Group has adopted a Code (the “Group S-O Code”), similar to the 

Price Funds S-O Code, which applies solely to its principal executive and senior financial 

officers. The Group S-O Code and the Price Funds S-O Code will be referred to collectively as 

the “S-O Codes”. 

The Price Funds S-O Code has been adopted by the Price Funds in accordance with the Act and 

Regulations thereunder and will be administered in conformity with the disclosure requirements 

of Item 2 of Form N-CSR. The S-O Codes are attachments to the Group Code. In many respects 

the S-O Codes are supplementary to the Group Code, but the Group Code is administered 

separately from the S-O Codes, as the S-O Codes are from each other. 

II. Purpose of the Price Funds S-O Code. The purpose of the Price Funds S-O Code, as 

mandated by the Act and the Regulations, is to establish standards that are reasonably designed 

to deter wrongdoing and to promote: 

             Ethical Conduct. Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or 

             apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. 

             Disclosure. Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and 

             documents that the Price Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public 

             communications made by the Price Funds. 

             Compliance. Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. 

             Reporting of Violations. The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Price Funds 

             S-O Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Price Funds S-O Code. 

             Accountability. Accountability for adherence to the Price Funds S-O Code. 

III. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest. 

Overview. Each Covered Officer owes a duty to the Price Funds to adhere to a high standard of 

honesty and business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as 

well as apparent conflicts of interest. 

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the 

interests of, or his or her service to, the Price Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would 

arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits 

as a result of his or her position with a Price Fund. 

Certain conflicts of interest covered by the Price Funds S-O Code arise out of the relationships 

between Covered Officers and the Price Funds and may already be subject to provisions 

regulating conflicts of interest in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company 

Act”), the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”) and the Group Code. 

For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the 

purchase or sale of securities or other property) with a Price Fund because of their status as 

“affiliated persons” of a Price Fund. The compliance programs and procedures of the Price 

Funds and Price Fund Advisers are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of 

these provisions. 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise 

from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Price Fund and its Price Fund 

Adviser (and its affiliates) of which the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees. As 

a result, the Price Funds S-O Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal 

course of their duties (whether formally for the Price Funds or for the Price Fund Advisers, or for 

both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different 

effects on these entities. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent 

in the contractual relationship between each Price Fund and its respective Price Fund Adviser. 

Such participation is also consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties 

as officers of the Price Funds and, if consistent with the provisions of the Investment Company 

Act and the Investment Advisers Act, it will be deemed to have been handled ethically. 

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Price Funds S-O Code, even if these conflicts of 

interest are not addressed by or subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the 

Investment Advisers Act. 

Whenever a Covered Officer is confronted with a conflict of interest situation where he or she is 

uncertain as to the appropriate action to be taken, he or she should discuss the matter with the 

Chairperson of Group’s Ethics Committee or another member of the Committee. 

Handling of Specific Types of Conflicts. Each Covered Officer (and close family members) 

must not: 

              Entertainment. Accept entertainment from any company with which any Price 

              Fund or any Price Fund Adviser has current or prospective business dealings, 

              including portfolio companies, unless such entertainment is in full compliance 

              with the policy on entertainment as set forth in the Group Code. 

              Gifts. Accept any gifts, except as permitted by the Group Code. 

               Improper Personal Influence. Use his or her personal influence or personal 

               relationships improperly to influence investment decisions, brokerage allocations 

               or financial reporting by the Price Funds to the detriment of any one or more of 

               the Price Funds. 

               Taking Action at the Expense of a Price Fund. Cause a Price Fund to take 

               action, or fail to take action, for the personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather 

               than for the benefit of one or more of the Price Funds. 

               Misuse of Price Funds’ Transaction Information. Use knowledge of portfolio 

               transactions made or contemplated for a Price Fund or any other clients of the 

               Price Fund Advisers to trade personally or cause others to trade in order to take 

               advantage of or avoid the market impact of such portfolio transactions. 

               Outside Business Activities. Engage in any outside business activity that 

               detracts from a Covered Officer’s ability to devote appropriate time and attention 

               to his or her responsibilities to a Price Fund. 

               Service Providers. Excluding Group and its affiliates, have any ownership 

               interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Price 

               Funds’ service providers, except that an ownership interest in public companies is 

               permitted 

               Receipt of Payments. Have a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, 

               transaction charges, spreads or other payments paid by a Price Fund for effecting 

               portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest 

               (such as compensation or equity ownership) arising from the Covered Officer’s 

               employment by Group or any of its affiliates. 

               Service as a Director or Trustee. Serve as a director, trustee or officer of any 

               public or private company or a non-profit organization that issues securities 

               eligible for purchase by any of the Price Funds, unless approval is obtained as 

               required by the Group Code. 

IV. Covered Officers’ Specific Obligations and Accountabilities.   

               A. Disclosure Requirements and Controls. Each Covered Officer must 

               familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements (Form N-1A registration 

               statement, proxy (Schedule 14A), shareholder reports, Forms N-SAR, N-CSR, etc.) 

               applicable to the Price Funds and the disclosure controls and procedures of the Price 

               Fund and the Price Fund Advisers. 

               B. Compliance with Applicable Law. It is the responsibility of each Covered 

               Officer to promote compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Price 

               Funds and the Price Fund Advisers. Each Covered Officer should, to the extent 

               appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and 

               employees of the Price Funds and the Price Fund Advisers and take other appropriate 

               steps with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure 

               in the reports and documents the Price Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC, and in 

               other public communications made by the Price Funds. 

               C. Fair Disclosure. Each Covered Officer must not knowingly misrepresent, or 

               cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Price Fund to others, whether within or 

               outside the Price organization, including to the Price Fund’s directors and auditors, and 

               to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations. 

               D. Initial and Annual Affirmations. Each Covered Officer must:

                     1. Upon adoption of the Price Funds S-O Code (or thereafter, as applicable, upon 

                     becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing that he or she has received, read, 

                     and understands the Price Funds S-O Code. 

                     2. Annually affirm that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Price 

                     Funds S-O Code. 

               E. Reporting of Material Violations of the Price Funds S-O Code. If a 

               Covered Officer becomes aware of any material violation of the Price Funds S-O Code 

               or laws and governmental rules and regulations applicable to the operations of the 

               Price Funds, he or she must promptly report the violation (“Report”) to the Chief 

               Legal Counsel of the Price Funds (“CLC”). Failure to report a material violation will 

               be considered itself a violation of the Price Funds S-O Code. The CLC is identified in 

               the attached Exhibit B. 

               It is the Price Funds policy that no retaliation or other adverse action will be taken 

               against any Covered Officer or other employee of a Price Fund, a Price Fund Adviser 

               or their affiliates based upon any lawful actions of the Covered Officer or employee 

               with respect to a Report made in good faith. 

               F. Annual Disclosures. Each Covered Officer must report, at least annually, all 

               affiliations or other relationships as called for in the “Annual Questionnaire for 

               Executive Officers and/or Employee Directors/Trustees of Group and the Price Funds.” 

V. Administration of the Price Funds S-O Code. The Ethics Committee is responsible for 

administering the Price Funds S-O Code and applying its provisions to specific situations in 

which questions are presented. 

               A. Waivers and Interpretations. The Chairperson of the Ethics Committee has 

               the authority to interpret the Price Funds S-O Code in any particular situation and to 

               grant waivers where justified, subject to the approval of the Joint Audit Committee of 

               the Price Funds. All material interpretations concerning Covered Officers will be 

               reported to the Joint Audit Committee of the Price Funds at its next meeting. Waivers, 

               including implicit waivers, to Covered Officers will be publicly disclosed as required 

               in the Instructions to N-CSR. Pursuant to the definition in the Regulations, an implicit 

               waiver means a Price Fund’s failure to take action within a reasonable period of time 

               regarding a material departure from a provision of the Price Funds S-O Code that has 

               been made known to an “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the 

               Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of a Price Fund. An executive officer of a Price 

               Fund includes its president and any vice-president in charge of a principal business 

               unit, division or function. 

               B. Violations/Investigations. The following procedures will be followed in 

               investigating and enforcing the Price Funds S-O Code: 

                     1. The CLC will take or cause to be taken appropriate action to 

                     investigate any potential or actual violation reported to him or her. 

                     2. The CLC, after consultation if deemed appropriate with Outside 

                     Counsel to the Price Funds, will make a recommendation to the 

                     appropriate Price Funds Board regarding the action to be taken with 

                     regard to each material violation. Such action could include any of the 

                     following: a letter of censure or suspension, a fine, a suspension of trading 

                     privileges or termination of officership or employment. In addition, the 

                     violator may be required to surrender any profit realized (or loss avoided) 

                     from any activity that is in violation of the Price Funds S-O Code. 

VI. Amendments to the Price Funds S-O Code. Except as to the contents of Exhibit A and 

Exhibit B, the Price Funds S-O Code may not be materially amended except in written form, 

which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of each Price Fund Board, including 

a majority of the independent directors on each Board. 

VII. Confidentiality. All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to the Price 

Funds S-O Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected
