Launched on March 31, 2000, as an Advisor Class share of the broader T. Rowe Price Value Fund (with the original fund inception on September 30, 1994), PAVLX features a net expense ratio of 0.94-0.95%, a minimum initial investment of $2,500, and daily pricing. The fund is managed by Ryan Hedrick since January 1, 2023, with total net assets of approximately $29.61 billion across the fund family and a share class size of $225.31 million. T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., the fund's investment manager, was founded in 1937 and is headquartered at 100 East Pratt Street in Baltimore, Maryland, with additional offices across the United States and internationally, serving clients in over 50 countries.
Recent developments at T. Rowe Price Group include a strategic partnership announced on February 3, 2025, with Oak Hill Advisors (OHA), its alternative credit subsidiary, and Aspida Holdings Ltd. to manage public and private assets for insurance clients, explore product development, and support Aspida's growth, building on T. Rowe Price's prior minority equity investment in Aspida. In September 2025, T. Rowe Price entered a multi-year collaboration with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., under which Goldman committed up to $1 billion to purchase T. Rowe Price stock and the firms will jointly develop and offer private-market investment products to retail and retirement investors, with new launches expected by mid-2026. These alliances underscore T. Rowe Price's expansion into insurance asset management, alternatives, and private markets amid $1.6 trillion in total assets under management.
