About FGFRX
The Federated Hermes International Leaders Fund Class R is an actively managed mutual fund focused on international equity investments. Its primary objective is long-term capital growth, achieved by investing mainly in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by leading companies based outside the United States. The fund predominantly targets large, established firms across developed and, at times, emerging markets, aiming for a blend of growth and value exposures within the "foreign large-blend" category. By seeking opportunities in various global sectors, the fund provides investors with access to international diversification and the potential for participation in global economic trends. This approach introduces some unique risks, including currency fluctuations, political and regulatory differences, and heightened volatility, especially in emerging markets. The fund’s active management and broad geographic reach make it a vehicle for investors seeking to complement or expand beyond domestic equity exposure within their investment portfolios.
