Investment Objective
This portfolio invests exclusively in the T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth
Fund. T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund seeks to provide long-term
capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. Its principal investment
strategy is to invest at least 80% of net assets in the common stocks of
large and medium-sized blue chip companies. These are firms that, in T.
Rowe Price's view, are well-established in their industries and have the
potential for above-average earnings growth.
Since many investors buy these stocks because of anticipated
superior earnings growth, earnings disappointments often result in sharp
price declines.
