Federated Hermes

One of the greatest strengths of Federated Hermes is the depth of collaboration across our global investment teams, in my view. When professionals from fixed income, equity, multi‑asset, alternatives and liquidity come together, their different perspectives and areas of focus sharpen thinking, surface new insights and strengthen decision‑making. A shared commitment to rigorous research anchors those discussions, while global perspectives matter more than ever in an increasingly interconnected world. This collaboration supports more informed conversations with advisors and institutions who rely on us for clarity and insight. While market conditions continue to evolve, our commitment to disciplined, research‑driven active management remains constant. I am inspired by the work of our investment professionals, and my priority is continuing to support an environment where collaboration and idea sharing help them do their best work on behalf of clients.

Investment professionals continue to navigate volatile markets. Across Federated Hermes’ global investment teams, we see a continued focus on understanding risk, identifying durable sources of return, and staying disciplined through uncertainty. Our investment processes are built with volatility in mind, so when markets are unsettled, we are prepared to stay focused rather than change course. As Federated Hermes MDT vice president Kelly Patel notes, “at times of upheaval, a set process can be a boon.” That mindset is central to how we invest.
