- T. Rowe Price Global Stock Fund (PRGSX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in common stocks of established, large-cap growth companies worldwide, including the United States; it targets firms demonstrating strong free cash flow, sustainable margins, long product cycles, and experienced management teams across developed and emerging markets, with at least 80% of net assets normally allocated to equities and exposure to at least five countries. The fund emphasizes sectors such as technology (approximately 41%), financial services, communication services, industrials, and consumer cyclicals; top holdings typically include leading global names like NVIDIA Corp., Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc., and Unilever PLC, with U.S. stocks comprising about 59% of the portfolio, non-U.S. stocks 38%, and diversified regional exposure to the Eurozone, developed Asia, the United Kingdom, and emerging Asia. Managed by David Eiswert since October 2012, the fund features a net expense ratio of 0.80%, daily pricing, minimum initial investment of $2,500 ($1,000 for IRAs), and total net assets exceeding $7.6 billion as of recent data.
Launched on December 29, 1995, and domiciled in the United States, the fund operates within the Global Large-Stock Growth category and is available primarily to U.S. investors through broker-dealers and retirement plans. It is part of the broader T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. lineup of mutual funds, with no reported subsidiaries or parent relationships specific to PRGSX; dividends and capital gains, if any, are distributed annually in December.
Recent developments at the parent firm T. Rowe Price Group Inc. include a February 2025 strategic partnership with OHA and Aspida to provide diversified investment strategies and services to insurance companies, leveraging T. Rowe Price's $1.6 trillion in assets under management and existing minority equity stake in Aspida; this alliance aims to support Aspida's growth through public and private asset management, product development, and tailored solutions amid expanding insurance capabilities. In September 2025, T. Rowe Price announced a multi-year collaboration with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., involving up to $1 billion in equity investment from Goldman and joint efforts to launch private-market products for retail and retirement investors by mid-2026. These initiatives reflect T. Rowe Price's strategic push into alternatives, insurance, and retirement-focused offerings, with ongoing portfolio adjustments as of September 30, 2025, amid U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut expectations and global market shifts.
