PITTSBURGH, Sept. 26, 2024 ~ Federated Hermes, Inc. has recently announced the launch of their newest investment strategy, the Federated Hermes MDT Mid Cap Growth Collective Investment Fund. This fund is specifically designed for qualified retirement plan investors and aims to achieve capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of US mid-cap growth companies.

The company's stock-selection process for this fund is unique and utilizes cutting-edge research, technology, and daily data from multiple market cycles. This approach removes subjective and emotional influences from the stock-selection process, providing investors with a disciplined, testable, and repeatable strategy.

The trust for this fund is managed by Great Gray Trust Company, LLC (Great Gray), a leading provider of collective investment trusts (CITs) to the retirement plan market. Through this new CIT, Great Gray will offer retirement plan investors access to Federated Hermes MDT's experience in seeking alpha from multiple sources, setting it apart from other growth strategies.
