What is the credit quality of the fund's investments?
Securities purchased by the fund must be rated within the four highest credit
categories (AAA, AA, A, BBB) by at least one established public rating agency
(or, if unrated, must have a T. Rowe Price equivalent). The fund will not
purchase any security rated below investment grade (i.e., below BBB) by Standard
& Poor's, Moody's, or Fitch Investors Services, except that with respect to 15%
of its total assets, the fund may invest in "split-rated securities" which are
securities that are rated within the four highest credit categories by at least
one rating agency and below investment grade by another rating agency.
Investment-grade securities include a range from the highest rated to medium
quality. Securities in the BBB category may be more susceptible to adverse
economic conditions or changing circumstances, and securities at the lower end
of the BBB category have certain speculative characteristics.
