About VSFCX
The Federated Hermes Clover Small Value Fund is a mutual fund targeting capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of smaller U.S. companies, with an emphasis on value-oriented opportunities. The fund’s strategy centers on identifying undervalued businesses whose market capitalizations place them within the small-cap segment, typically defined by their relatively smaller size compared to large-cap peers. By focusing on value, the Clover Small Value Fund seeks out firms believed to be trading below their intrinsic worth, often featuring stable financials, solid fundamentals, and potential for growth unrecognized by the broader market. This approach enables investors to gain exposure to a diversified basket of U.S. small-cap value stocks, spanning sectors such as financials, real estate, utilities, and energy. As a managed portfolio, its holdings are actively adjusted to respond to changing market conditions and sector opportunities. The fund serves as a tool for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios or access the unique return characteristics and risks associated with the small-cap value market segment. Performance and holdings are subject to fluctuation, and the fund’s value can rise or fall based on market movements and the performance of its underlying assets.
