DISCLOSURES

${expenseRatioVoluntaryFeeWaiversExpenseReimbursments}

The fund's R6 Shares commenced operations on October 18, 2016. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of the R6 Shares, the performance information shown is for Service Shares, adjusted to remove any voluntary waiver of fund expenses related to the fund's Service Shares that occurred during the period prior to the commencement of the fund's R6 Shares.

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.

Mutual funds are subject to risks and fluctuate in value.

Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss.

The value of equity securities in the fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the fund’s share price may decline. Equity securities may decline in value because of an increase in interest rates or changes in the stock market.

The quantitative models and analysis used by the fund's adviser may perform differently than expected and negatively affect fund performance.

Because the fund may allocate relatively more assets to certain industry sectors than others, the fund’s performance may be more susceptible to any developments which affect those sectors emphasized by the Fund.

The fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional instruments.

S&P MidCap 400 Index is an unmanaged capitalization weighted index of common stocks representing all major industries in the mid-range of the U.S. stock market. "Standard & Poor's®", "S&P®", "S&P MidCap 400 Index", and "Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index" are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by Federated Securities Corp. The fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by, or affiliated with, Standard & Poor’s ("S&P"). S&P makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the fund or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the fund particularly or the ability of the S&P 400 Index to track general stock market performance.

Mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets and limited managerial and financial resources compared to larger and more established companies.

After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates, but do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. Return After Taxes on Distributions assumes a continued investment in the fund and shows the effect of taxes on fund distributions. Return After Taxes on Distribution and Sale of Fund Shares assumes all shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on fund distributions. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA, 401(k) plans. The after-tax average annual total returns are based on the 37% tax bracket and include the 3.8% tax on net investment income.

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

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.
