An impending lead-manager change creates uncertainty for this otherwise strong healthcare strategy, prompting a downgrade of the People Pillar to Average from Above Average. Longtime lead manager Ziad Bakri announced in December 2025 that he will leave T. Rowe Price in July 2026 after a decade at the helm. His departure is certainly a loss, but incoming lead manager Jeff Holford knows the process well and plans to stick with it, supporting the decision to maintain an Above Average Process rating.
