About ISCIX
The Federated Hermes International Small-Mid Company Fund is a mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of small- and mid-cap companies located outside the United States. With a commitment to allocate at least 80% of its net assets to non-U.S. businesses, the fund seeks opportunities in developed, emerging, and frontier markets, emphasizing firms that demonstrate strong growth potential and specialized capabilities. Its broadly diversified portfolio spans multiple sectors, including industrials, communication services, energy, technology, healthcare, and basic materials, which helps mitigate company-specific and sector-specific risks. The fund is notable for its institutional share class with a cost-effective fee structure, making it appealing for larger investors. By focusing on international small- and mid-cap equities, the fund provides exposure to dynamic market segments that may offer higher growth prospects compared to larger, more established global companies. This strategic approach enables the fund to play a key role for investors seeking diversification beyond U.S. markets and exposure to a broader array of global economic growth drivers.
