T. Rowe Price (Nasdaq: TROW) has launched its new Personal App for iPhone and iPod touch, which provides investors the ability to manage their accounts and view fund information.

Its launch follows that of the investment manager's Investor Magazine App for iPad, which came out earlier this year and gives free access to the company's quarterly magazine for mutual fund shareholders.

With the new app, individual investors and participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans can:

- Check account balances, including those associated with T. Rowe Price Brokerage and small business accounts; - View asset allocation charts; - Track fund performance; - Check the status of pending transactions; - Access T. Rowe Price investment insights and market news; - Conduct fund research.

Additionally, individual investors outside of an employer-sponsored retirement plan can conduct mutual fund transactions.

Todd Cleary, Vice President of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and director of the company's Retail Division, said, "The launch of the T. Rowe Price Personal App for iPhone and iPod touch continues our dedication to providing customers with the technology and mobile tools they need to stay connected with their investments in an increasingly mobile world. The app makes it easy for investors to manage multiple accounts and work with T. Rowe Price, with the same level of security they're used to experiencing on our website."

Cynthia Egan, President of T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., said, "The T. Rowe Price Personal App for iPhone and iPod touch provides plan participants with an additional way to monitor their 401(k) accounts wherever and whenever they need to. Participants want easy access to their workplace retirement savings information and this app gives them that in a secure, convenient manner."

Founded in 1937, Baltimore-based T. Rowe Price is an investment management organization with $554.8 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2012.
