Our Viewpoint

T. Rowe Price’s robust balance sheet provides sufficient liquidity, thereby supporting the roll out of new funds. Also, its diverse business model is anticipated to stoke AUM growth. However, elevated costs and stringent regulatory pressure across the investment management industry might be headwinds over the long term.

Over the past six months, shares of T. Rowe Price have risen 33.1%, outperforming the industry’s growth of 26%.
