About FGFCX
Federated Hermes International Leaders Fund Class C Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by foreign companies outside the United States, spanning both developed and emerging markets. Through a blend of large-cap stocks from multiple regions—including Europe and Asia—the fund aims for balanced exposure across industries, with a portfolio construction style that does not favor either growth or value stocks, placing it in the foreign large-blend category. A key aspect of this fund is its global diversification, which seeks to reduce single-market risk and tap into growth opportunities worldwide. The fund’s strategy involves managing risks associated with international investing, such as currency fluctuations, political uncertainty, and variable financial standards. It may also use derivatives as part of its investment approach, adding another dimension to risk and return management. With its focus on non-U.S. leaders in their respective industries, the fund serves investors looking to broaden the geographic scope of their equity holdings beyond domestic markets.
