T. Rowe Price Group IncT. Rowe Price gains new mandates to manage portions of three Vanguard funds with $42B in assets.

Vanguard has brought T. Rowe Price Associates on board to manage portions of Vanguard Explorer, Vanguard Growth and Income, and the Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Small Company Growth Portfolio. It is the first time T. Rowe Price has advised Vanguard, and the three funds together hold more than $42 billion in combined net assets. Vanguard removed ArrowMark Colorado Holdings from Explorer and VVIF Small Company Growth, while Los Angeles Capital Management exited Growth and Income. T. Rowe Price received individual sleeves of each portfolio, not control of the entire fund. Vanguard also adjusted Explorer's adviser allocations to increase exposure toward the growth investment style.
