Report Highlights
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Strategy Funds
. Stocks sold off sharply before recovering their earlier highs; Treasuries
benefited from the flight to safety, but lower-quality bonds had poor
returns.
. The funds trailed their benchmarks during the six months ended November 30,
1998, largely due to the inclusion of small-cap stocks in the portfolios;
12-month returns were good.
. During the past six months, the Balanced and Growth Funds with their higher
stock allocations lagged behind the Income Fund as high-grade bonds
outperformed the overall stock market.
. The funds continued to favor bonds over stocks and domestic bonds over
foreign bonds.
. We expect economic and earnings growth to slow in the months ahead and
believe the funds' diversified investment strategies could serve investors
well through 1999.

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS
Stocks sold off in late summer following the financial collapse in Russia and
continuing weakness in Asian markets, then rebounded during the past two months
to recapture their earlier highs. Most types of bonds also suffered from the
turmoil, except for Treasuries and high-grade corporate bonds, which benefited
from an investor flight to safety.
MARKET REVIEW
Global stock markets recovered after the Federal Reserve initiated a series of
key short-term rate cuts in an attempt to arrest further weakness in the U.S.
and foreign economies. This loosening of monetary policy sent a positive message
around the globe, and investors responded enthusiastically.

Treasury bonds benefited from the global uncertainty, and the 30-year yield fell
to its lowest level in decades. As can be seen in the chart, the long-term yield
dropped from more than 6% a year ago to 5.21% at the end of November. The
five-year note yield declined by a wider margin from 5.82% to 4.62%, and the
90-day Treasury bill yield ended at 4.58%, down from 5.27% last November.
Corporate bonds were mixed, as the high-yield sector suffered when investors
began to flee from riskier securities, and high-grade corporate bonds posted
solid returns for both the past 6- and 12-month periods in the midst of all the
volatility.

PREPARING FOR THE YEAR 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Year 2000 draws closer every day, and it holds special meaning beyond the
arrival of a new millennium. The issue for investors is that many computer
programs throughout the world use two digits instead of four to identify the
year and may assume the next century starts with 1900. If these programs are not
modified, they will not be able to correctly handle the century change when the
year changes from "99" to "00" on January 1, 2000, and they will no longer be
able to perform necessary functions. The Year 2000 issue affects all companies
and organizations.
T. Rowe Price has been taking steps to assure that its computer systems and
processes are capable of functioning in the Year 2000. Detailed plans for
remediation efforts have been developed and are currently being executed.
Our Plan of Action
We began to address these issues several years ago by requiring that all new
systems process and store four-digit years. We will complete all reprogramming
efforts for the major application systems, including business applications
required to service our customers and processing infrastructure necessary to
ensure the integrity of customer data and investments, by December 31, 1998,
leaving a full 12 months for system testing. Because we exchange data
electronically with customers and vendors, we are working with them to assess
the adequacy of their own compliance efforts. Our goal is to ensure the
continuation of the same level of service to all our mutual fund shareholders
and clients after December 31, 1999.
We are asking all vendors and companies we do business with for a Year 2000
compliance status, with the expectation that some organizations will not be able
to modify their interface files prior to December 31, 1999. Our goal is to
identify any noncompliant files so that we can implement alternative solutions.
In addition, we are scheduling tests for critical vendors and companies that
claim Year 2000 compliance to ensure that time-related data and calculations
function properly as we move into the next century.
Smooth Transition Planned
We believe our programs and initiatives will provide a smooth transition into
the next millennium. We are assessing all systems providing products or services
to our retail mutual fund shareholders, retirement plan sponsors, and
participants, and we are taking steps to modify them where necessary for the
Year 2000. Our plan provides time to develop solutions for all noncompliant
systems and data files from customers or vendors.
The Securities Industry Association (SIA) is coordinating Year 2000 testing to
assure that securities markets, clearing corporations, depositories, and third
party service providers can send, receive, and process files and transactions
accurately. In late July 1998, the SIA completed a beta test of Year 2000
readiness. The test was considered successful in terms of transactions completed
and will serve as the basis for the SIA's industry-wide approach. During October
1998, T. Rowe Price completed its beta test of Year 2000 readiness with the SIA
and is ready for the industry-wide test that is scheduled for March and April
1999.
For a more detailed discussion of our Year 2000 effort, as well as continuing
updates on our progress, please check our Web site (www.troweprice.com).

appropriate ranges for each fund, based on market conditions and economic
fundamentals. The committee maintained its preference for bonds over stocks in
all three portfolios, for international stocks over domestic, and for growth as
opposed to value stocks. In the current environment, the committee believes that
bonds offer better potential for total returns than stocks, that European stocks
in particular are more attractively valued than domestic shares, and that growth
stocks have a better chance than value stocks to sustain their earnings growth
if the economy slows -- as we expect. In the bond area, the committee maintained
the funds' low exposure to foreign bonds, since we expect the dollar to
strengthen, and focused on both investment-grade and high-yield bonds in the
domestic market.
PERSONAL STRATEGY INCOME FUND
This fund's investment goal is to generate the highest total return consistent
with an emphasis on income first and capital appreciation second. The typical
mix of securities for the fund is 40% bonds, 40% stocks, and 20% money market
securities, although these figures can vary by as much as 10 percentage points
above or below these levels.
- --------------------
ASSET ALLOCATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Strategy Income Fund
[PIE CHART APPEARS HERE]
Stocks 40%
Bonds 45%
Money Markets 15%
Based on net assets as of 11/30/98.
During the past six months, the fund's stock component remained close to its
level of six months ago, and the bond holdings fell four percentage points to
45%. The drop in bond exposure was not a result of a conscious policy to alter
the asset mix, but rather a reflection of cash inflows near the end of the
period that were deployed into bonds in early December. We favored large-cap
growth stocks over large-cap value stocks, and in June we added a small position
in small-cap stocks to further diversify the portfolio. In addition, we
continued to maintain a maximum position in foreign equities where we see better
potential than in the U.S. market.
3
<PAGE>
Among bonds, we overweighted investment-grade and slightly overweighted
high-yield securities and continued to keep a relatively low exposure to foreign
bonds. As mentioned, we expect the U.S. dollar to strengthen against major
foreign currencies.

The fund's returns were modest for the last six months and solid for the 12
months ended November 30, 1998, but they lagged the Combined Index Portfolio in
both periods and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index over the six months. Our
emphasis on growth stocks served shareholders well during the longer period, but
the addition of small-cap stocks to the portfolio did not immediately benefit
shareholders as these stocks have yet to catch up with the torrid pace of
large-cap, S&P 500 stocks.

ASSET ALLOCATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Strategy Balanced Fund
[PIE CHART APPEARS HERE]
Stocks 58%
Bonds 35%
Money Markets 7%
Based on net assets as of 11/30/98.
The objective of this fund is to provide the highest total return consistent
with an emphasis on both income and capital appreciation. The typical asset mix
is 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% cash -- with 10-percentage-point variations
permitted for each asset class. This asset allocation structure offers higher
risk but also a higher potential return than the Income Fund.
On November 30, your fund had 58% of its assets in stocks, the same as at the
end of May; 35% in bonds; and the balance in money market securities. As in the
case of the Income Fund, cash inflows were deployed into bonds in early
December, boosting the bond portion. We favored growth over value stocks and
underweighted foreign

bonds for the reasons mentioned earlier. Among our major equity holdings were
Philip Morris, Mobil, GE, American Home Products, and Fannie Mae.

Your fund's returns for the 6- and 12-month periods ended November 30, 1998,
lagged the Combined Index Portfolio and the Merrill Lynch-Wilshire Capital
Market Index, as shown in the table, largely due to the increase of
small-capitalization stocks in the portfolio. Small-cap shares have been
underperforming their larger brethren for some time -- although they have
recently begun to strengthen. Fund performance during the past six months was
behind that of the Income Fund, an unusual occurrence. This can be attributed to
the higher component of bonds in the Income Fund. While large-cap stocks were
strong, bonds outperformed other equity sectors in the period. However, 12-month
results were solid and ahead of the Income Fund, as would normally be expected
given the higher risk associated with this fund.

Personal Strategy Growth Fund
[PIE CHART APPEARS HERE]
Stocks 74%
Bonds and Money Markets 26%
Based on net assets as of 11/30/98.
Your fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks.
The typical asset mix is 80% stocks and 20% bonds and money market securities,
with 10-percentage-point variations permitted. As of November 30, 1998, the
fund's stock allocation was 74%, one percentage point higher than six months
ago, and 26% was in bonds and cash equivalents.

<PAGE>
The fund's five largest stock holdings were Philip Morris, Mobil, GE, Fannie
Mae, and SBC Communications, in that order. As in the other funds, the portfolio
reflects a bias toward growth stocks whose more consistent earnings patterns
should help them perform relatively well as economic growth slows, which we
anticipate in 1999.

................................................................................
* An unmanaged portfolio composed of 80% stocks (S&P 500), and 20% bonds (Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index).
The fund's returns were strong for the last 12 months, but lagged the Combined
Index Portfolio and the Merrill Lynch-Wilshire Capital Market Index because of
our exposure to small-cap stocks, as explained. We believe the valuations of
smaller-company shares are appealing when compared with the large-cap universe.
Our purchase of these stocks has been premature so far, but we feel they may be
ready to outperform large-company shares after trailing them for several years.
You will notice that six-month results were behind the Income and Balanced Fund,
just as the Balanced Fund lagged behind the Income Fund. The reasons were
discussed in our Balanced Fund section.
OUTLOOK
Twelve months of global financial turmoil and economic upheaval have had an
impact on the domestic economy. Weakening exports have expanded the external
trade deficit, and available data indicate that export growth may be meager at
best. Low exports and surging imports have reduced demand for domestic
production, restraining the manufacturing sector. Corporate profit growth has
also waned, due in large measure to constrained corporate pricing power in an
atmosphere of higher global supply than demand. This confluence of forces has
put downward pressure on business fixed income investment and employment growth,
curtailing personal income expansion.
The cumulative effect of these evolving conditions could hold real GDP growth to
less than 2%, at least through the middle of 1999. Sluggish growth such as this
could lead to an upward drift in unemployment, alleviating wage and price
pressures. We anticipate a further decrease
6
<PAGE>
in both short- and long-term interest rates, as well as moderating stock returns
next year. In this environment, the diversified strategies offered by the
Personal Strategy Funds could serve shareholders well.
