Federated Hermes, based in Pittsburgh, is an asset management holding company with about $840 billion in AUM as of March 31, 2025. It offers equity, fixed-income, and money-market funds. The company's clients include high-net-worth individuals, registered investment advisors, pension funds, charities, and government organizations. Federated Hermes takes a relatively conservative, long-term approach to investing.

After three days of solid upward movement, stocks are waffling at midday on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower, the S&P 500 around breakeven, and the Nasdaq in the green, albeit by only 0.4% as of this writing. The Nasdaq is being helped by a generally good earnings report from Alphabet, offset a tad by a weak outlook from Intel. Still, tariff anxiety continues to loom in the background and the future of the U.S. economy appears to be very much on the mind of the average investor. The University of Michigan reported that its reading on consumer sentiment has improved to 52.2 from 50.8 earlier this month. But the final result is still among the weakest readings in almost three years and overall sentiment has fallen for four consecutive months.

Federated Hermes provides asset-management services for institutional and individual investors. The firm had $800 billion in managed assets at the end of September 2024, composed of equity (10%), multi-asset (less than 1%), fixed-income (12%), alternative (3%), and money market (74%) funds.

The company's products are distributed via trust banks, wealth managers, and retail broker/dealers (65% of AUM), institutional investors (26%), and international clients (9%).
