Mutual Funds vs. ETFs: Which is best for your investment strategy?

12024 Investment Company Fact Book (PDF).

Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investments are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal.

Important Information

Risks: All investments are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. As with all equity investments, the share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry or specific holdings. Fixed income investing involves risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk. Active investing may have higher costs than passive investing and may underperform the broad market or passive peers with similar objectives. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Additional risks vary depending on the investment objectives and strategies. When applicable, please refer to a prospectus for more information.

All T. Rowe Price ETFs: ETFs are bought and sold at market prices, not NAV. Investors generally incur the cost of the spread between the prices at which shares are bought and sold. Buying and selling shares may result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns.

T. Rowe Price Equity ETFs: T. Rowe Price active equity ETFs publish a daily Proxy Portfolio, a basket of securities designed to closely track the daily performance of the actual portfolio holdings. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the ETF’s holdings, it is not the actual portfolio. Daily portfolio statistics will be provided as an indication of the similarities and differences between the Proxy Portfolio and the actual holdings. The Proxy Portfolio and other metrics, including Portfolio Overlap, are intended to provide investors and traders with enough information to encourage transactions that help keep the ETF’s market price close to its NAV. There is a risk that market prices will differ from the NAV. ETFs trading on the basis of a Proxy Portfolio may trade at a wider bid/ask spread than shares of ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, especially during periods of market disruption or volatility, and, therefore, may cost investors more to trade. The ETF’s daily Proxy Portfolio, Portfolio Overlap, and other tracking data are available at troweprice.com.

Although the ETF seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information confidential, others may attempt to use publicly available information to identify the ETF’s investment and trading strategy. If successful, these trading practices may have the potential to reduce the efficiency and performance of the ETF.
