Example
|
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing
in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated
and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods, that your investment has a 5% return each
year, and that the fund’s fees and expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Turnover
|
Portfolio
Turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities
(or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction
costs and may result in higher taxes when the fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs,
which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance.
Because the fund commenced operations on or following the date of this prospectus, there is no portfolio
turnover information quoted for the fund.

Investment Strategies
|
The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings
for investments purposes) in equity securities. Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment
focus suggested by the fund’s name, or to one or more market risk factors associated with the investment
focus suggested by the fund’s name, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the fund’s
80% investment policy. Under
normal conditions, the fund primarily invests in stocks outside the U.S. and in at least five countries,
including developed and emerging market countries. The fund relies on MSCI Inc., a third-party provider
of benchmark indexes and data services, or another unaffiliated data provider to determine the country
assigned to a security. The adviser’s decision-making process focuses on bottom-up stock selection with
an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the adviser’s outlook for certain industries, sectors,
and individual countries. The fund diversifies broadly across a variety of industries. The fund may purchase
the stocks of companies of any size, but its focus is typically on large-cap companies. While country
allocation is driven largely by stock selection, the adviser may limit investments in markets or industries
that appear to have poor overall prospects. The adviser also attempts to create a portfolio with similar
characteristics to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Index) with the potential to provide excess returns relative
to the Index. The Index gives a representation of equity stocks across both developed and emerging market
countries globally, excluding the United States. The Index also gives coverage of large and mid-cap equity
stocks across all sectors and style segments.The fund uses a disciplined portfolio construction process
whereby it weights each country/region, sector, and industry approximately the same as the Index. Within
each country/region, sector, and industry, the weighting of individual fund holdings can vary significantly
from their weighting within the Index. The fund attempts to outperform the Index by overweighting those
stocks that are viewed favorably relative to their weighting in the Index, and underweighting or avoiding
those stocks that are viewed negatively. A portfolio oversight team, which includes the portfolio managers,
is responsible for the overall structure of the fund and for developing rules for portfolio construction
and seeks to take advantage of T. Rowe Price’s fundamental research by assigning equity analysts to
select stocks for the fund within industries where they have focused expertise. At times, the fund may
have a significant portion of its assets invested in the same economic sector.

Risks As
with any fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective(s). The fund’s share
price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing
in this fund, which may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions, are summarized as follows:
|
Risk Lose Money [Member] |
The fund’s share
price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund.
|
Foreign investing |
Foreign
investing: Non-U.S. securities tend to be more volatile and have lower overall
liquidity and trading volume than investments in U.S. securities and may lose value because of adverse
local, political, social, or economic developments overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates
between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Further, securities of non-U.S. issuers are subject to
trading markets with potential governmental interference, varying regulatory, auditing, and accounting
standards, and settlement and clearance practices that differ from those of U.S. issuers. Investment
in non-U.S. securities also carries currency risk. Any attempts to hedge currency risk could be unsuccessful.
Such investments may have higher transaction costs compared
with U.S. markets. The fund’s overall foreign investing risk is increased to the extent it has exposure
to emerging markets.
|
Emerging markets |
Emerging markets: 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.
|
Stock investing |
Stock investing: Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and
may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline
because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of
stocks held by the fund may decline due to general weakness or volatility in the stock markets in which
the fund invests or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry.
|
Market conditions |
Market
conditions: 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 geopolitical developments (such as trading and tariff arrangements, sanctions, and cybersecurity
attacks), recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, war, military conflict, 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. 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.
|
Large-cap stocks |
Large-cap
stocks: Securities issued by large-cap companies tend to be less volatile than securities
issued by small- and mid-cap companies. However, large-cap companies may not be able to attain the high
growth rates of successful small- and mid-cap companies, especially during strong economic periods, and
may be unable to respond as quickly to competitive challenges.
|
Sector exposure |
Sector exposure:
Issuers in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the
fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more
broadly.
|
Index correlation |
Index correlation: Because the fund weights each sector and industry similar
to the Index, the fund’s ability to broadly reallocate its portfolio due to changes in outlook for
a particular sector or industry is less than other actively managed funds with greater flexibility to
overweight or
underweight
certain industries due to changes in market conditions. As a result, the fund’s performance may lag
the performance of other actively managed funds with more flexible investment programs.
|
Active management |
Active
management: The fund’s overall investment program and holdings selected by the fund’s
investment adviser may underperform the broad markets, relevant indices, or other funds with similar
objectives and investment strategies.
|
Authorized Participant |
Authorized Participant: Only an Authorized
Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a
limited number of intermediaries that act as Authorized Participants, and none of these Authorized Participants
are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that Authorized
Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect
to the fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, (i) the
market price of the fund’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV),
(ii) an active trading market for the fund may not develop or be maintained, and (iii) there is no
assurance that the requirements of the exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the fund will continue
to be met or remain unchanged.
|
ETF shares trading |
ETF shares trading: Shares of the fund are listed for trading
on a national securities exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The
market prices of shares are expected to fluctuate in response to changes in the fund’s NAV, the value
of the fund’s holdings, and supply and demand for shares. Disruptions to creations and redemptions,
significant market volatility, potential lack of an active trading market for the shares (including through
a trading halt), or other factors may widen bid-ask spreads and result in the shares trading significantly
above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV or to the value of the fund’s holdings. If a shareholder
purchases shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time
when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses.
|
New fund |
New fund: Because
the fund is new, it has a relatively small number of shareholders and assets under management. As a result,
the portfolio manager may experience difficulties in fully implementing the fund’s investment program
and may be less able to respond to increases in shareholder transaction activity. The fund’s limited
operating history could make it more difficult to evaluate the performance of the portfolio manager and
the fund’s investment strategies. In addition, there can be no assurance that the fund will ultimately
grow to an economically viable size, which could lead to the fund eventually ceasing its operations.
|
Cybersecurity breaches |
Cybersecurity
breaches: The fund could be harmed by intentional cyberattacks and other cybersecurity
breaches, including unauthorized access to the fund’s assets, confidential information, or other proprietary
information. In addition, a cybersecurity breach could cause one of the fund’s service providers or
financial intermediaries to suffer unauthorized data access, data corruption, or loss of operational
functionality.
