Our experience shows...

Long-term growth in earnings and cash flow drive stockholder returns.

Rapid growth is often fueled by innovation. Innovation drives lasting change. Companies positioned to exploit change are among the most durable growth investments.

Robust investment results can be produced by capitalizing on two inefficiencies in the U.S. large-cap growth universe.

The market systematically overestimates the ability of large U.S. companies to grow at double-digit rates

Short-term momentum and sentiment are often overemphasized by investors

OUR US LARGE-CAP GROWTH PHILOSOPHY

Our objective is to produce robust investment results by understanding and exploiting these inefficiencies.

OUTLOOK

Expect the current bull market to continue into 2019, though the downside risks have increased.

U.S. economic growth is still on solid footing, but the impact of fiscal and tax policy stimulus will likely wane throughout 2019.

Consumers have benefited from wage growth and low unemployment. Corporate earnings growth are likely to decelerate but remain positive. Energy prices will likely remain pressured as higher North American supply

offsets OPEC production cuts. Valuations are a neutral factor, as they are in-line with long-term historical

averages. Key risks include geopolitics, monetary policy missteps, and protectionist

trade policies.

The specific securities identified and described do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold, or recommended and no assumptions should be made that the securities identified and discussed were or will be profitable.

KEY CONTROVERSIES AND OPPORTUNITIES

TECHNOLOGY SELLOFF Increased volatility caused by data privacy concerns and potential regulatory pressure provided

an opportunity to rebuild positions at attractive valuations (Facebook). Broad selloff in technology related names created opportunities to purchase long-term secular

winners in cloud software (Splunk, VMware, ServiceNow).

HEALTH CARE HEADLINE RISKS Political overlay weighing on many health care stocks as 2020 campaigning begins to ramp.

With medical costs back in focus, managed care companies that are helping deliver more cost-effective health care solutions should remain well positioned (Cigna, Humana, WellCare). Concerns about drug pricing are likely to weigh on therapeutics companies, but innovative

medical devices and equipment manufacturers should come under less scrutiny (Becton Dickinson, Intuitive Surgical, Stryker).

ECONOMIC CONCERNS Monetary policy concerns and tensions on global trade weighed on the market in 2018. Cyclical stocks traded lower on slowing global economic growth and created opportunities to

buy idiosyncratic names with secular tailwinds and valuation support (Aptiv). Ongoing trade conflict with the U.S. exacerbated China’s economic challenges and deeply

discounted high quality names with dominant positions in key secular growth industries.

Economic growth is likely to moderate in 2019 and could challenge cyclically oriented sectors

Ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China remains a key source of risk

Earnings growth in the U.S. is expected to slow as companies lap the benefit of 2018 corporate tax reform; higher wages and input costs could also pressure profit margins

KEY THREE MONTH PERFORMANCE DRIVERS Three Months Ended 31 December 2018

CONTRIBUTORS Information Technology Stock selection within Information Technology was the dominant driver of strong relative performance during the quarter. Disruptive business models and

technologies within the sector continue to present compelling investment opportunities in our view. Secular demand for public cloud computing services should continue to be a growth driver.

Apple: Shares of Apple sold off due to softer than expected demand for the latest iPhone launch, particularly amongst consumers in China. We hold an underweight position relative to the benchmark due to concerns over saturation and elongation of replacement cycles for smartphones and Apple’s ability to monetize its installed base of users as hardware reaches parity and operating systems become less differentiated.

Red Hat: Shares of Red Hat climbed after the announcement that the company would be acquired by IBM in an effort to gain a foothold in the cloud era of enterprise technology. IBM’s vast amount of technology, services, and distribution capabilities should benefit Red Hat as they attempt to scale their hybrid cloud platform, OpenShift.

VMware: Management guided revenue growth higher than anticipated, reflecting an accelerating IT spending environment as companies continue to modernize their platforms. We expect VMware to gain market share as its new products become more widely adopted within its installed base, in part due to the company’s hybrid cloud initiative and partnership with Amazon Web Services.

Health Care Stock selection and our overweight to Health Care contributed to relative performance during the quarter. We continue to focus on finding opportunities to

take advantage of lasting trends such as managed care industry consolidation, innovations in medical equipment, and robotic technology. Anthem: Improved margins within its Commercial segment, driven by better medical cost performance, caused shares to trade higher. Anthem stands to

benefit from the secular lull in cost trends and stable pricing resulting from the Affordable Care Act. The transition to CVS for pharmacy benefit manager services should provide additional cost savings.

DETRACTORS Consumer Staples Stock selection and our underweight to Consumer Staples detracted from relative performance during the quarter. Philip Morris: Shares of Philip Morris sold off upon news that Altria Group had bought a 35% stake in JUUL, the electronic cigarette manufacturer. JUUL

should benefit from Altria Group’s distribution network and infrastructure, aiding its international growth prospects and potentially posing a threat to Philip Morris. Philip Morris offers an attractive underlying business model, that along with promising reduced risk products, should drive durable earnings growth.

KEY ONE YEAR PERFORMANCE DRIVERS One Year Ended 31 December 2018

CONTRIBUTORS Information Technology Stock selection within Information Technology was a primary driver for 2018. Red Hat: Shares of Red Hat gained as growing demand for hybrid cloud solutions and a record number of large deals fueled top line growth. Shares

traded higher after the announcement that the company would be acquired by IBM in an effort to gain a foothold in the cloud era of enterprise technology. IBM’s vast amount of technology, services, and distribution capabilities should benefit Red Hat as they attempt to scale their hybrid cloud platform, OpenShift.

Apple: Shares of Apple sold off due to softer than expected demand for the latest iPhone launch, particularly amongst consumers in China. We hold an underweight position relative to the benchmark due to concerns over saturation and elongation of replacement cycles for smartphones and Apple’s ability to monetize its installed base of users as hardware reaches parity and operating systems become less differentiated.

VMware: Shares of VMware benefitted from a robust IT spending environment, with broad based growth across products categories. Shares received an additional lift after Dell elected to scrap its plan for a reverse merger to the relief of VMware investors. We expect VMware to gain market share as its new products become more widely adopted within its installed base, in part due to the company’s hybrid cloud initiative and partnership with Amazon Web Services.

Health Care Stock selection and our overweight to Health Care contributed to relative performance during the year. We continue to focus on finding opportunities to

take advantage of lasting trends such as managed care industry consolidation, innovations in medical equipment, and robotic technology. Intuitive Surgical: Accelerated growth in the number of global procedures being performed by da Vinci, the company’s robotic surgical system, helped

drive shares of Intuitive Surgical higher over the past year. Procedure growth—the engine of the business model—should continue to benefit from the roll out of more affordable systems, which should provide opportunities to expand into many more hospitals.

Industrials & Business Services Stock selection and our underweight to Industrials & Business Services contributed to relative performance for the year. We continue to emphasize unique,

company-specific opportunities that we believe can drive meaningful growth regardless of the economic backdrop. Boeing: Boeing shares climbed higher as operating margins continue to expand thanks to favorable delivery volume and mix within Commercial Aircraft

and better than expected revenue growth from Defense and Services. We believe that the company is well positioned for several years of healthy earnings and free cash flow growth, supported by its robust backlog of orders and tailwinds from secular growth in global air traffic expansion in emerging markets.

DETRACTORS Financials Charles Schwab: Investor sentiment and the fourth quarter market decline weighed on shares of Charles Schwab as industry pricing pressure and

concerns that the Fed’s tightening cycle is coming to an end caused shares to selloff. We believe Charles Schwab can deliver durable earnings growth as it continues to gather assets, utilize scale efficiencies, and grow its bank with low cost brokerage sweep deposits.

Compared with tracking error, which measures the standard deviation of the difference in a manager’s returns versus the index returns, Active Share allows investors to get a clearer understanding of what a manager is doing to drive performance, rather than drawing conclusions from observed returns. The greater the difference between the asset composition of a product and its benchmark, the greater the active share is.

US Large-Cap Growth Equity CompositeTOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.1 Net-of-fees performance reflects the deduction of the highest applicable management fee (Model Net Fee) that would be charged based on the fee schedule appropriate to you for this

mandate, without the benefit of breakpoints. Please be advised that the composite may include other investment products that are subject to management fees that are inapplicable to you but are in excess of the Model Net Fee. Therefore, the actual performance of all the portfolios in the composite on a net-fee basis will be different and may be lower than the Model Net Fee performance. However, such Model Net Fee performance is intended to provide the most appropriate example of the impact management fees would have by applying management fees relevant to you to the gross performance of the composite.Supplemental information. Please see the GIPS® Disclosure page for additional information on the composite. Monthly composite performance is available upon request.

2 The value added is shown as US Large-Cap Growth Equity Composite (Net of Fees) minus Russell 1000 Growth Index.Pursuant to T. Rowe Price (“TRP”) policy, the firm does not claim compliance with GIPS outside of the 15-year period.

US Large-Cap Growth Equity CompositeTOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.1 Net-of-fees performance reflects the deduction of the highest applicable management fee (Model Net Fee) that would be charged based on the fee schedule appropriate to you for this

mandate, without the benefit of breakpoints. Please be advised that the composite may include other investment products that are subject to management fees that are inapplicable to you but are in excess of the Model Net Fee. Therefore, the actual performance of all the portfolios in the composite on a net-fee basis will be different and may be lower than the Model Net Fee performance. However, such Model Net Fee performance is intended to provide the most appropriate example of the impact management fees would have by applying management fees relevant to you to the gross performance of the composite.Supplemental information. Please see the GIPS® Disclosure page for additional information on the composite. Monthly composite performance is available upon request.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Monthly composite performance is available upon request. See below for further information related to net of fee calculations.

T. Rowe Price (TRP) has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). TRP has been independently verified for the 22‐year period ended June 30, 2018 by KPMG LLP. The verification report is available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm‐wide basis and (2) the firm's policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation.TRP is a U.S. investment management firm with various investment advisers registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, and other regulatory bodies in various countriesand holds itself out as such to potential clients for GIPS purposes. TRP further defines itself under GIPS as a discretionary investment manager providing services primarily to institutional clients with regard to various mandates, which include U.S., international, and global strategies but excluding the services of the Private Asset Management group. The minimum asset level for equity portfolios to be included in composites is $5 million and prior to January 2002 the minimum was $1 million. The minimum asset level for fixed income and asset allocation portfolios to be included in composites is $10 million; prior to October 2004 the minimum was $5 million; and prior to January 2002 the minimum was $1 million. Valuations are computedand performance reported in U.S. dollars.Gross performance returns are presented before management and all other fees, where applicable, but after trading expenses. Net of fees performance reflects the deduction of the highest applicable management fee that would be charged based on the fee schedule appropriate to you for this mandate, without the benefit of breakpoints. Gross and net performance returns are net of nonreclaimable withholding taxes on dividends, interest income, and capital gains. Effective June 30, 2013, portfolio valuation and assets under management are calculated based on the closing price of the security in its respective market. Previously portfolios holding international securities may have been adjusted for after‐market events. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request. Dispersion is measured by the standard deviation across asset‐weighted portfolio returns represented within a composite for the full year. Dispersion is not calculated for the composites in which there are five or fewer portfolios.Some portfolios may trade futures, options, and other potentially high‐risk derivatives which generally represent less than 10% of a portfolio.Benchmarks are taken from published sources and may have different calculation methodologies, pricing times, and foreign exchange sources from the composite.Composite policy requires the temporary removal of any portfolio incurring a client initiated significant cash inflow or outflow greater than or equal to 25% of portfolio assets. The temporary removal of such an account occurs at the beginning of the measurement period in which the significant cash flow occurs and the account re‐enters the composite on the last day of the current month after the cash flow. Additional information regarding the treatment of significant cash flows is available uponrequest.The firm's list of composite descriptions and/or a presentation that adheres to the GIPS® standards are available upon request.A portfolio management change occurred effective January 1, 2017. There were no changes to the investment program or strategy related to this composite.

Objective

The US Large-Cap Growth Equity Composite seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of large-cap growth companies based in the U.S. (Created June 2006)

Risks – the following risks are materially relevant to the portfolio:

Small and mid-cap risk - stocks of small and mid-size companies can be more volatile than stocks of larger companies.

General Portfolio Risks

Capital risk - the value of your investment will vary and is not guaranteed. It will be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the base currency of the portfolio and the currency in which you subscribed, if different.

Equity risk - in general, equities involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments.

Geographic concentration risk - to the extent that a portfolio invests a large portion of its assets in a particular geographic area, its performance will be more strongly affected by events within that area.

Hedging risk - a portfolio's attempts to reduce or eliminate certain risks through hedging may not work as intended.

Investment portfolio risk - investing in portfolios involves certain risks an investor would not face if investing in markets directly.

Management risk - the investment manager or its designees may at times find their obligations to a portfolio to be in conflict with their obligations to other investment portfolios they manage (although in such cases, all portfolios will be dealt with equitably).

Operational risk - operational failures could lead to disruptions of portfolio operations or financial losses.
