About QCSCX
Federated Hermes MDT Small Cap Core Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of small U.S. companies. The fund maintains an investment strategy that allocates at least 80% of its net assets to small-cap equities, targeting firms that typically exhibit higher growth potential and greater market volatility compared to larger counterparts. Utilizing quantitative models and multi-layered risk management, the fund seeks to construct a diversified portfolio across sectors, often adjusting its sector weights in alignment with its benchmark while applying over- or underweight positions as opportunities arise. Its portfolio composition frequently features industries such as financial services, industrials, healthcare, and technology. The fund is designed for investors aiming to participate in the performance of the small-cap segment, which can provide unique exposure and diversification benefits within broader equity portfolios. Investments in small-cap companies naturally entail heightened liquidity risk and price volatility, positioning the fund as a specialized instrument within the equity market landscape.
