About QCSGX
Federated Hermes MDT Small Cap Growth Fund Class C Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation. The fund primarily invests in growth-oriented stocks of small-cap U.S. companies, selecting its portfolio constituents mainly from the universe of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. It employs a bottom-up, quantitatively driven investment process designed to capitalize on market inefficiencies while minimizing subjective or emotional biases in security selection. The fund's strategy emphasizes diversification across sectors but may allocate more heavily to certain industries if opportunities are identified, potentially increasing sector-specific risk. Managed by a team of experienced portfolio managers with expertise in quantitative analysis, the fund holds a range of securities, with around 246 individual holdings and a weighted median market capitalization of approximately $2.9 billion. The fund is positioned within the small-growth category, a segment known for its potential for higher returns as well as higher volatility compared to larger, more established companies.
