"We have a very strong client base in Florida, and the Boca Raton Investor Center will enable us to better serve investors in South Florida who prefer to meet with a T. Rowe Price investment counselor and who want to access a wide range of investment resources all in one place," said Edward C. Bernard, chairman of T. Rowe Price Investment Services.
