INTERNATIONAL GROWTH ACCOUNT
Following is a summary of information about the Sentry International Growth
Account. Investors are advised to learn key data about an investment prior to
making any investment decision.
Objective
The objective of this account is to seek long-term growth of capital. It is
invested solely in the T. Rowe Price International Stock FundŽ.
Investor Profile
The International Growth Account may be suitable for investors with a very
long-term investment horizon who are seeking long-term growth of capital
through investing primarily in company stocks of established non-U.S. companies
and who accept the risks associated with common stocks of foreign companies and
the volatility of converting foreign currency to U.S. dollars. Individuals must
be willing and able to accept substantial change in unit price in the short,
long and very long term.
Investment Strategy
T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund seeks to identify non-U.S. companies
with above average growth at a reasonable value. The fund is managed by a team
of professionals from T. Rowe Price, each of whom invests in his/her own area
of specialty. The fund has a low portfolio turnover rate. It invests worldwide
primarily in well-established, non-U.S. companies and diversifies broadly among
developed and emerging countries. As a hedge or defensive measure against
currency rate risk, the fund will occasionally buy currency future options.
Investment Considerations
This International Growth Account is one of the five highest risk options
offered by Sentry to retirement plan participants. Diversifying overseas can
help your retirement portfolio stay on track through a variety of market
conditions. Foreign stock markets often move out of sync with domestic stock
markets. Investing a portion of a retirement portfolio in the International
Growth Account may provide a cushion when there is a downturn in domestic stock
markets. Investors must be willing and able to accept a high level of
investment risk.
