Thomas Rowe Price Jr. started in the 1920s as a junior researcher and account manager at brokerages in Baltimore, but didn`t like the operating models of sales-oriented businesses at the time. When he founded T. Rowe Price & Associates in 1937, his firm departed from the norm in three ways: fees based on assets under management rather than sales volume, active management of his clients` accounts solely as trustees, and investing in growth stocks rather than value stocks. He became known as the “father of growth investing” and was dubbed the “Sage of Baltimore” by Forbes. [9] [10] [11] In the 1970s and early 1980s, T. Rowe Price began to grow with more confidence than before, moving to its current location at 100 East Pratt Street and opening its first international office. In 1979, T.

Pension services were introduced in the 1990s along with new services and funds, including mutual funds acquired by other companies such as USF&G. [18] This momentum and the achievement of $100 billion in assets under management led T. Rowe Price to enter into an asset management partnership with Sumitomo Bank and Daiwa Securities in Tokyo in 1999 and acquire 100% of the shares of London-based Rowe Price-Fleming International, renamed T. Rowe Price International. [13] Also in 1999, T.

As more space was needed, the headquarters was moved in 1962 to the new One Charles Center building, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe near downtown Baltimore.[13] [14] At the same time, Price began preparing for retirement, resigning as president of the company in 1963, delegating certain responsibilities and selling his shares in the company. [13] Nevertheless, Price remained an active presence in the company for several years, pushing for the opening of the New Era Fund in 1969 in response to the rapid inflation that he believed would dominate the 1970s. [15] In 1971, the year Price retired completely, T. Rowe Price expanded its fixed income division and began modernizing and diversifying its business.
