About FHERX
The Federated Hermes SDG Engagement Equity Fund R6 is a mutual fund designed to generate long-term capital appreciation while promoting a positive societal impact. Its primary function is to invest in equity and equity-related securities of small- and mid-cap companies, which are either domiciled in or derive significant income from both developed and emerging markets. The fund’s strategy is unique in that it actively engages with companies to encourage progress aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), targeting businesses that show potential for improvement in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices—even if their current ESG ratings are low.
