About FGCIX

Federated Hermes Short-Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering total return through a diversified portfolio of high-quality fixed income securities. The strategy emphasizes U.S. government obligations—including Treasury and agency securities—and investment‑grade corporate bonds, positioning the portfolio in the short‑ to intermediate‑term segment to balance income generation with interest rate risk management. The fund typically aligns its dollar‑weighted average duration near a recognized intermediate government/credit benchmark, reflecting a disciplined approach to rate sensitivity. It distributes income monthly and maintains a broad mix of holdings, reflecting a multi‑sector credit and government allocation aimed at consistent total return across market cycles. Serving institutions and sophisticated investors, the fund’s approach seeks to combine credit research, duration positioning, and sector rotation within investment‑grade parameters. Its role in the market is to provide a core short‑intermediate bond allocation that complements broader fixed income portfolios by targeting stability, liquidity, and income while moderating volatility relative to longer‑duration strategies.
