MID-CAP
GROWTH ACCOUNT - II
Following is a
summary of information about the Mid-Cap Growth Account
II. 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 by investing primarily in common stocks of medium-sized
growth companies. It invests solely in the T. Rowe Price
Diversified Mid-Cap Growth Fund.
Investor Profile
The Mid-Cap Growth Account II may be suitable for investors
seeking greater potential for capital appreciation than
is provided by investing in large companies and are willing
to incur the higher risk associated with investments in
mid-cap stocks. Investors 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 Diversified Mid-Cap Growth Fund invests at
least 80 percent of the fund’s net assets in a diversified
portfolio of common stocks of mid-cap companies whose earnings
T. Rowe Price expects to grow at a faster rate than the
average company. Mid-cap companies are defined as those
whose market capitalization falls within the range of either
the S&P MidCap 400 Index ($336 million to $11,819 million
as of December 31, 2003) or the Russell MidCap Growth Index
($480 million to $17,024 million as of December 31, 2003).
Investment Considerations
The principal value of the Mid-Cap Growth Account II is
subject to decline over short and even long periods because
of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry or
specific holdings. The stocks of mid-cap companies entail
greater risks and are usually more volatile than shares
of larger companies. In addition, growth stocks can be more
volatile because they usually reinvest a high proportion
of earnings in their own business and may lack the dividends
usually associated with value stocks that can cushion their
decline in a falling market. Also, since investors buy these
shares because of their expected superior earning growth,
earnings disappointments often result in sharp price declines.
