Established in 1937 and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, T.

The TRBFX fund targets investors seeking total return through current income and capital appreciation in inflationary environments, with a benchmark against the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury TIPS Index. In recent developments, T. Rowe Price announced enhancements to its inflation-focused strategies in 2024, including increased allocations to real asset-linked securities amid rising global inflation pressures, and formed a strategic research partnership with inflation analytics firm Pantheon Macro in early 2025 to refine duration and swap overlay tactics.
