Research is the lifeblood of our organization
Investment idea generation
Professional development: focused mentoring effort nurtures investment talent―career analyst or portfolio management track
Fundamental approach to research—analysts are industry specialists across capitalization and style
Understanding impact of all competitors within an industry group is key to assessing the outlook for any individual company
Ideas leveraged across styles as valuation opportunities arise
Formal and informal communication channels foster a collaborative research approach
Multiple signaling tools communicate analysts’ conviction and urgency—company rankings, Research Management System (RMS), analyst portfolios, and weekly meetings
Ongoing informal interaction between the portfolio managers and analysts is also central to the process
Rigorous performance and contribution review drives compensation
Key retention tools include performance-based bonus and equity participation
EQUITY RESEARCH
Extensive analyst interaction across industry groups, sectors, and asset classes promotes a broad perspective and timely decision making.

Value vs. growth returns have been heavily influenced by economic growth expectations during the current cycle, as evidenced by the comparison of returns and the steepness of the yield curve. This is partially due to the much higher representation of banks in value indices (bank profit margins are generally driven by yield spreads), but is also due to the relationship between the yield curve and economic growth expectations. When the curve is flat (indicating weaker growth expectations), growth stocks outperform—as growth stocks typically are driven more by their own product cycles than by the broad economic cycle. Meanwhile, value stocks are typically very sensitive to the economic cycle.
GROWTH VS. VALUE: HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY ECONOMIC GROWTH EXPECTATIONS DURING THIS CYCLE

S&P 500 Financials Sector Relative to S&P 500 Index
While financials have outperformed since the election, they have lagged on a multiyear
basis
Relative to the S&P, the Financials sector is trading below both the median forward relative
P/E and the median relative P/B over the last 15 years
Yet, with tax reform and higher interest rates, financials should have among the highest
levels of earnings growth and ROE expansion

OUTLOOK
Expect synchronized global economic expansion to continue into 2018, with balanced risks to the upside and downside.
Corporate earnings growth will remain supportive. Recent underperformance of defensive sectors suggest the market has
become more complacent and is starting to play more offense. Monetary policy will continue to become less accommodative. Energy prices will be pressured as higher North American supply offsets
OPEC production cuts. Equity valuations appear stretched and opportunities are more idiosyncratic. Key risks include geopolitics, monetary policy missteps, unexpected inflation,
and protectionist trade policies.
T. ROWE PRICE33
ENERGY PRICES
Increased supply and lower cost curve will pressure oil prices
Prefer strong balance sheets, optionality, free-cash-flow inflection (Total, Hess)
INTEREST RATES & INFLATION
Expect three rate hikes as fiscal stimulus could drive inflation higher
Higher rates good for financials, companies with pension obligations (J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Boeing)
OFFENSIVE ROTATION
Bond proxies have traded off amid expectations for higher interest rates
Valuations in defensive areas are beginning to look more attractive (CVS Health, Kimberly-Clark)
P&C INSURANCE CYCLE
Insurance providers saw a significant increase in claims following several natural disasters that impacted North America
Insurance demand and premiums are likely to rise, which should benefit brokers and providers (Marsh & McLennan, American International Group)

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
T. ROWE PRICE71
Active Share – Active Share is a holdings based measure of active management representing the percentage of a portfolio’s holdings that differ from those in its benchmark. Compared to 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. Alpha – A measure of a strategy’s risk-adjusted performance. Alpha represents the difference between a strategy’s actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. The difference is expressed as an annualized percentage. Batting Average – A statistical measure used to determine the percentage of months where the portfolio’s performance exceeded or matched the return of the index.Beta – A measure of the market risk of a strategy showing how responsive the strategy is to a given market index, such as the S&P 500 Index (an index for equity strategies) or the Bloomberg Barclays Government/Corporate Bond Index (an index for fixed income strategies). By definition, the beta of the benchmark index is 1.00. A strategy with a 1.10 beta is expected to perform 10% better than the index in up markets and 10% worse in down markets. Usually, higher betas represent riskier investments. Earnings Growth Rate (Current Fiscal Year) – Measures the annualized percent change in earnings per share from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year. Earnings Growth Rate (Next Fiscal Year) – Measures the annualized percent change in earnings per share from the current fiscal year and the forecast for the next fiscal year. Enterprise Value to EBITDA – A financial ratio that measures a company’s return on investment. The EBITDA/EV ratio may be preferred over other measures of return because it is normalized for differences between companies. Using EBITDA normalizes for differences in capital structure, taxation and fixed asset accounting. Meanwhile, using enterprise value also normalizes for differences in a company’s capital structure.Five-Year EPS Growth (Least Squares) – Uses the least squares regression approach to adjust for sharp fluctuations and reflect the average growth rate over the past five years.Historical Tracking Error – Standard deviation of the strategy’s excess return over the market benchmark. Information Ratio – A measure of the significance or quality of alpha. It is defined as the ratio of alpha to the standard deviation of alpha. A larger number is better—either a very strong alpha score or a consistent alpha with low standard deviation. Long-Term Growth – Average expected 3-5 year earnings growth rate based on IBES analyst estimates.Market Capitalization – A measure of a company’s total value and is equal to the total dollar value of all outstanding shares.
Median – Represents the midpoint of market capitalization of stocks in a portfolio where 50% of holdings are above the value. Investment-Weighted Median – Represents the breakpoint where 50% of the weights are above the value. Investment-Weighted Average – Sum of each holding’s market capitalization multiplied by its weight in the portfolio.
Net Debt to EBITDA – A measurement of leverage, calculated as a company’s interest-bearing liabilities minus cash or cash equivalents, divided by its EBITDA. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is a debt ratio that shows how many years it would take for a company to pay back its debt if net debt and EBITDA are held constant. If a company has more cash than debt, the ratio can be negative.Price to Book Ratio – Used to compare a stock’s market value to its book value. It is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter’s book value (book value is simply total assets minus intangible assets and liabilities). Price-to-Earnings Ratio (12 Months Forward) – P/E is a valuation measure calculated by dividing the price of a stock by the analysts’ forecast of the next 12 months expected earnings. The ratio is a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for the company’s future earnings. The higher the P/E, the more investors are paying for a company’s earnings growth in the next 12 months.Price-to-Earnings Ratio (Current Fiscal Year) – P/E is a valuation measure calculated by dividing the price of a stock by its reported earnings per share from the latest fiscal year. The ratio is a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for the company’s earnings. The higher the P/E, the more investors are paying for a company’s current earnings.Price-to-Earnings Ratio (Next Fiscal Year) – P/E is a valuation measure calculated by dividing the price of a stock by its estimated earnings for the next fiscal year. The ratio is a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for the company’s future earnings. The higher the P/E, the more investors are paying for the company’s expected earnings growth in the next fiscal year. Price to FFO – A figure used by real estate investment trusts (REITs) to define the cash flow from their operations. It is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization expenses to earnings, and sometimes quoted on a per share basis.Projected Earnings Growth Rate (IBES) – A company’s expected earnings per share growth rate for a given time period based on the forecast from the Institutional Broker’s Estimate System, which is commonly referred to as IBES.Return on Equity – ROE is a valuation measure calculated by dividing the company’s current fiscal year net income by shareholders’ equity (i.e., the company’s book value). Return on equity measures how much a company earns on each dollar that common stock investors have put into the company. It indicates how effectively and efficiently a company and its management are using stockholder investments. Return on Invested Capital – Measures how well a company generates cash flow relative to the amount invested. The return on invested capital measures how efficiently a company is using its money to generate returns. It is calculated by dividing net income minus dividends by the sum of long-term debt and common equity.R-Squared – Measures the percentage of a strategy’s movement that is explained by movements in the benchmark index. R-Squared helps indicate the accuracy of a strategy’s alpha and beta. Sharpe Ratio – A risk-adjusted measure, which is calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the strategy’s historical risk-adjusted performance. Standard Deviation – Indicates the volatility of a strategy’s total returns as measured against its mean performance. Unlike alpha, beta, and R-Squared, which are compared with a benchmark index, standard deviation is strategy-specific. In general, the higher the standard deviation, the greater the volatility or risk. Turnover – A measurement of how frequently assets within a fund are bought and sold by the managers. Up and Down Capture – A statistical measure used to quantify the percentage of market gains captured by the portfolio in either up or down markets. It is expressed as a percentage.
