FUND PROFILE
May 1, 1999
T. Rowe Price Equity Market Index Funds
Three funds seeking long-term capital growth through investments in common
stocks.
This profile summarizes key information about each fund that is included in
each funds' prospectus. The fund's prospectus includes additional information
about the fund, including a more detailed description of the risks associated
with investing in the fund that you may want to consider before you invest. You
may obtain the prospectus and other information about each fund at no cost by
calling 1-800-XXX-XXXX, or by visiting our Web site at www.troweprice.com.
1. What is each fund's objective?
Equity Index 500 Fund (formerly the Equity Index Fund)
To match the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index/(R)/. The
S&P 500 is made up of primarily large-capitalization companies that represent
a broad spectrum of the U.S. economy and about 70% of the U.S. stock market's
total capitalization. (Market capitalization is the number of a company's
outstanding shares multiplied by the market price per share.)
Extended Equity Market Index Fund
To match the performance of the U.S. stocks not included in the S&P 500.
These are primarily small- and mid-cap stocks (market caps under $1 billion
and $1 billion to $5 billion, respectively). We use the Wilshire 4500 Equity
Index to represent this universe.
<PAGE>
Total Equity Market Index Fund
To match the performance of the entire U.S. stock market. We use the Wilshire
5000 Equity Index to represent the market as a whole. Because the largest
stocks carry the most weight in the index (as in the other two indices),
large-cap stocks make up a substantial majority of the Wilshire 5000's value.
The inclusion of a stock in the S&P 500 Index or the Wilshire indices is in
no way an endorsement by Standard & Poor's or Wilshire Associates of the
stock as an investment, nor are S&P and Wilshire sponsors of the funds or in
any way affiliated with them.
2. What is each fund's principal investment strategy?
The Equity Index 500 Fund invests in all of the stocks in the S&P 500 Index.
We attempt to maintain holdings of each stock in proportion to its weight in
the index. This is known as a full replication strategy.
Standard & Poor's constructs the index by first identifying major industry
categories and then allocating a representative sample of the larger and more
liquid stocks in those industries to the index. S&P weights each stock
according to its total market value. The 50 largest companies in the index
currently account for about 55% of its value.
The Extended Equity Market Index Fund uses a sampling strategy, investing in
a group of stocks representative of the Wilshire 4500 Index. The fund does
not attempt to fully replicate the index by owning each of the stocks in it.
Despite its name, the Wilshire 4500 includes more than 6,500 stocks.
The Total Equity Market Index Fund also uses a sampling strategy, investing
in a broad spectrum of small-, mid-, and large-cap stocks representative of
the Wilshire 5000 Index.
In an attempt to recreate the Wilshire indices, we select stocks in terms of
industry, size and other characteristics. For example, if technology stocks
made up 15% of the Wilshire 4500, the Extended Equity Market Index Fund would
invest about 15% of its assets in technology stocks with similar
characteristics. Several factors are considered in selecting representative
stocks, including historical price movement, market cap, transaction costs,
etc.
T. Rowe Price continually compares the composition of all three funds to that
of the indices. If a misweighting develops, the portfolios are rebalanced in
an effort to bring them into line with their respective indices. When
investing cash flow, the funds may purchase stocks, stock index futures, or
stock options. This approach is intended to minimize any deviations in
performance.
All three funds intend to remain fully invested during all market conditions.

Each fund may sell securities primarily to rebalance its portfolio or satisfy
redemption requests.
Further information about each fund's investments, including a review of
market conditions and fund strategies and their impact on performance, is
available in the annual and semiannual shareholder reports. To obtain free
copies of any of these documents, call 1-800-XXX-XXXX.
3. What are the main risks of investing in the funds?
The funds are designed to track broad segments of the stock market--whether
they are rising or falling. Markets as a whole can decline for many reasons,
including adverse political or economic developments here or abroad, changes
in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling.
Since the funds are passively managed and seek to remain fully invested at
all times, assets cannot be shifted from one stock or group of stocks to
another based on their prospects, or from stocks into bonds or cash
equivalents in an attempt to cushion the impact of a market decline.
Therefore, actively managed funds may outperform these funds.
While there is no guarantee, Equity Index 500 Fund should tend to be less
volatile than the other two portfolios because of its focus on larger-cap
stocks. It should also have the highest dividend yield of the group, which
can help offset losses in falling markets. The fund emphasizes large-cap
stocks, which may at times lag shares of smaller, faster-growing companies.
The Extended Equity Market Index Fund will be subject to the greater risks
associated with small- and mid-cap stocks. Smaller companies often have
limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, and may depend on a
small group of inexperienced managers. The securities of small companies may
have limited marketability and liquidity and are often subject to more abrupt
or erratic market movements than shares of larger companies or the major
market averages. The very nature of investing in smaller companies involves
greater risk than is customarily associated with large-cap companies.
<PAGE>
While these is no guarantee, Total Equity Market Index Fund is expected to
have a risk level between the other two funds, and should have higher
dividends than the Extended Equity Market fund.
The use of sampling for the Extended Equity and Total Equity Funds will
likely result in some deviation from their respective indices. In addition,
for all three index funds, returns are likely to be slightly below those of
the indices because the funds have fees and transaction expenses while
indices have none. The timing of cash flows and a fund's size can also
influence returns. While there is no guarantee, the investment manager
expects the correlation between the funds and their respective indices to be
at least .95. A correlation of 1.00 means the return of a fund can be
completely explained by the return of an index.
To the extent each fund uses futures and options, it is exposed to additional
volatility and potential losses.
As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee the funds will achieve
their objectives.
. Each fund's share price may decline, so when you sell your shares, you may
lose money. An investment in the funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other government agency.
4. How can I tell which fund is most appropriate for me?
Consider your investment goals, your time horizon for achieving them, and
your tolerance for the inherent risk of common stock investments. If you seek
a relatively low-cost way of participating in the U.S. equity markets through
a passively managed portfolio, one or more of the funds could be an
appropriate part of your overall investment strategy. The fund or funds you
select should not represent your complete investment program or be used for
short-term trading purposes.
The segments of the stock market to which you want exposure and the degree of
volatility you can accept in pursuit of long-term capital gains can guide you
in choosing among the funds.
The S&P 500 Index is one of the most widely tracked stock indices in the
world. If you want to closely match the performance of the mostly large-cap
stocks in this index, with the same level of risk, the Equity Index 500 Fund
may be an appropriate choice.
If you seek potentially higher returns, can assume greater risk, and want
broad exposure to small- and mid-cap stocks, you may wish to invest in the
Extended Equity Market Index Fund.
<PAGE>
Finally, if your risk/reward profile is between that of the first two funds
and you would like to participate in the entire U.S. stock market, you may
want to consider the Total Equity Market Index Fund.
Each fund can be used in both regular and tax-deferred accounts, such as
IRAs.
. Equity investors should have a long-term investment horizon and be willing
to wait out bear markets.
5. How has each fund performed in the past?
The bar charts and the average annual total return table indicate risk by
illustrating how much returns can differ from one year to the next. Each
fund's past performance is no guarantee of its future returns.

6. What fees or expenses will I pay?
The funds are 100% no load. However, the funds charge a redemption fee of
0.50%, payable to the funds, for shares held less than six months, and a
quarterly maintenance fee of $2.50 for accounts of less than $10,000. There
are no other fees or charges to buy or sell fund shares, reinvest dividends,
or exchange into other T. Rowe Price funds. There are no 12b-1 fees. The
Extended Equity Market Index and Total Equity Market Index Funds each have a
single, all-inclusive fee covering investment management and operating
expenses. This will not fluctuate.

The Equity Index 500 Fund's management fee, other expenses, and total expense
ratio would have been 0.20%, 0.22%, and 0.42%, respectively, had T. Rowe
Price not agreed to waive fees and bear any expenses in accordance with the
following expense limitations. The fund previously operated under limitations
that expired December 31, 1995 (a 0.45% limitation), and December 31, 1997 (a
0.40% limitation); the 0.40% limitation has been extended through December
31, 1999. T. Rowe Price is entitled to reimbursement of fees and expenses
previously waived. However, no reimbursement will be made after December 31,
1997 (for the first agreement); or December 31, 1999 (for the second
agreement); or December 31, 2001 (for the third agreement) or if it would
result in the expense ratio exceeding 0.45% (for the first agreement) or
0.40% (for the second and third agreements).
/c/ The management fee includes operating expenses.
Example. The following table gives you a rough idea of how expense ratios
may translate into dollars and helps you to compare the cost of investing in
these funds with that of other funds. Although your actual costs may be
higher or lower, the table shows how much you would pay if operating expenses
remain the same, the expense limitation currently in place is not renewed,
you invest $10,000, you earn a 5% annual return, and you hold the investment
for the following periods:

8 SIGN YOUR NEW ACCOUNT FORM
By signing this form, I certify that:
- - I agree to be bound by the terms of the prospectus for each fund in which

am of legal age in my state, and believe each investment is suitable for me.
- - I authorize T. Rowe Price, the Funds, their affiliates and agents to act on
any
instructions believed to be genuine for any service authorized on this form,
including telephone/computer services. The Funds use reasonable procedures
(including shareholder identity verification) to confirm that instructions
given by telephone/computer are genuine, and the Funds are not liable for
acting on these instructions. (If these procedures are not followed, it is the
opinion of certain regulatory agencies that the Funds may be liable for any
loss that may result from acting on instructions given.) I understand that
anyone who can properly identify my account(s) can make phone/computer
transactions on my behalf.
- - The Funds can redeem shares from my account(s) to reimburse a fund for
any loss due to nonpayment or other indebtedness.
<PAGE>
- - By selecting the electronic transfer service in Section 7C, I hereby authorize
T. Rowe Price to initiate credit and debit entries to my (our) account at the
Financial Institution indicated and for the Financial Institution to credit or
debit the same to such account through the Automated Clearing House
(ACH) system, subject to the rules of the Financial Institution, ACH, and the
Fund. T. Rowe Price may correct any transaction error with a debit or credit
to my Financial Institution account and/or Fund account. THIS AUTHORIZATION,
including any credit or debit entries initiated thereunder, is in full
force and effect until I notify T. Rowe Price of its revocation by telephone
or in writing and T. Rowe Price has had sufficient time to act on it.
- - Under penalties of perjury, the tax identification number(s) shown on
this form is correct. If I fail to give the correct number or fail to sign this

also be subject to IRS backup withholding (currently 31%) on all

- - Under penalties of perjury, I am NOT subject to IRS backup withholding
because 1) I have not been notified, or 2) notification has been revoked
(cross out "NOT" if you are currently subject to withholding), or 3) I have
indicated in Section 4 that I am a nonresident alien and certify that for
dividends I am not a U.S. citizen or resident (or I am filing for a foreign
corporation, partnership, estate, or trust).
- - For clarification on any of these certification issues, please contact us for
assistance.
- - The IRS does not require your consent to any provision of this document
other than the certifications required to avoid backup withholding.
