Performance

Premium and Discount

DISCLOSURES

The premium/discount is the amount the fund’s closing price is trading above or below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. When the fund’s closing price is greater than the fund’s NAV, it is said to be trading at a “premium” and the percentage is expressed as a positive number. When the fund’s closing price is less than the fund’s NAV, it is said to be trading at a “discount” and the percentage is expressed as a negative number. Shareholders may pay more than NAV when buying fund shares and receive less than NAV when selling fund shares, because shares are bought and sold at current market prices.

The median bid/ask spread is the midpoint of the difference between the best price at which a buyer has purchased a fund share (the bid) and the best price at which a seller has sold a fund share (the ask). The median bid-ask spread is calculated by identifying the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") for the fund as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days and dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the NBBO. The median of those values is identified and that value is expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Distributions and Taxes

Standard Performance

 
DISCLOSURES

Effective at the start of business June 24, 2026 the Ultrashort Bond ETF commenced operations.

dagger disclosure The fund's expense ratio is from the most recent prospectus. The expense ratio may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements determined by the fund's Advisor and its affiliates. The voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements, if applicable, are in effect up to but not including the later of 06/01/2027 or the date of the fund's next effective prospectus.

Total return may have been lower in the absence of temporary expense waivers or reimbursements.

Total returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative.

ETFs are subject to risks and fluctuate in value.

See the prospectus for other fees and expenses that apply to a continued investment in the fund.

Product classifications noted at the top are Federated Hermes' internal classifications.

The fund may invest in Federated Hermes Portfolios that are not available to the public and provide for more effective diversification than is available through the purchase of individual securities. Where applicable, the fund holdings reflect exposure to underlying securities held by the portfolios.

The holdings percentages are based on net assets at the close of business on the date above, and may not necessarily reflect adjustments that are routinely made when presenting net assets for formal financial statement purposes. Because this is a managed portfolio, the investment mix will change.

Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

The fund is not a “money market” mutual fund. Some money market mutual funds attempt to maintain a stable net asset value through compliance with relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. The fund is not governed by those rules, and its shares will fluctuate in value.

Fund shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates the current NAV per share. NAVs are calculated using prices as of the end of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 PM Eastern Time).

Investors should carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. To obtain a summary prospectus or prospectus containing this and other information, contact us or view the prospectus provided on this website. Please carefully read the summary prospectus or prospectus before investing.

The value of some mortgage-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates, and although the securities are generally supported by some form of government or private insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices. In addition, fixed-income investors should be aware of other risks such as credit risk, inflation risk, call risk and liquidity risk.

The ratings agencies that provided the ratings are S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s and Fitch. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of A or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of BBB are good credit quality and the lowest category of investment grade; credit ratings BB and below are lower-rated securities (“junk bonds”); and credit ratings of CCC or below have high default risk. The credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the fund.
