About FKAIX
Federated Hermes Kaufmann Small Cap Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving capital appreciation by investing primarily in the common stocks of small-cap companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to small companies that are traded on major U.S. securities exchanges, including the NASDAQ, but may also include select international holdings, with about 11% of assets in foreign stocks. This strategy aims at identifying reasonably priced growth opportunities among smaller firms with the potential for above-average expansion. Managed by an experienced team with a diverse tenure, the fund employs rigorous fundamental analysis to construct a diversified portfolio, holding around 170 securities with the top ten positions constituting nearly a quarter of assets. It does not have an explicit environmental, social, or governance (ESG) mandate. As an institutional share class, it features a relatively low expense ratio for its category and requires a high minimum investment. The fund's role in the market is to serve institutional and large investors seeking targeted exposure to emerging growth companies in the small-cap segment, offering diversification beyond large-cap and mid-cap equities.
