About ISCAX
Federated Hermes International Small-Mid Company Fund A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities issued by small- and mid-capitalization companies outside the United States. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to these international companies, spanning both developed and emerging markets. Its portfolio tends to emphasize sectors such as industrials, communication services, financials, healthcare, and energy, reflecting a diversified approach to non-U.S. growth opportunities. Managed actively, the fund may utilize derivative instruments and participate in initial public offerings to enhance portfolio outcomes, but these strategies also introduce unique risks such as increased volatility and liquidity challenges. The fund’s investment process is designed to capitalize on the potential for higher growth among smaller international companies, complementing broader global equity exposure in a diversified portfolio. With a front-load share structure and a moderate annual expense ratio, Federated Hermes International Small-Mid Company Fund A plays a notable role in providing access to international, small- and mid-cap equities for investors seeking diversification beyond large-cap and U.S. markets.
