Managed Account Pools (MAPs) are unique mutual fund pools of securities specially designed to provide diversification to separately managed accounts. Because these pools are highly liquid, they enhance the ability of separately managed account portfolios to quickly and efficiently respond to changing market conditions.
Unlike the typical mutual fund, each MAP has "zero" advisory fees. MAPs are available only in conjunction with Federated Hermes Separately Managed Accounts.
