About FGFIX

Federated Hermes Core Bond Fund Institutional Shares is an open-end mutual fund focused on providing a total return through investments primarily in investment-grade U.S. fixed-income securities. Its diversified portfolio encompasses U.S. government, corporate, and securitized debt, including significant allocations to mortgage-backed securities, Treasury notes, and corporate bonds. The fund is actively managed by a team of specialists and maintains a strategy typical of the intermediate core bond category, aiming for balanced risk and interest-rate sensitivity by targeting portfolio duration within a middle range relative to market benchmarks. It plays a notable role for institutions and investors seeking broad-based exposure to high-quality bonds, serving as a core holding that can anchor diversified portfolios. The importance of the fund in the market stems from its focus on capital preservation and income generation, as well as its alignment with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which acts as a standard reference for U.S. fixed-income performance. With a disciplined investment process and broad sector exposure, it supports stability and income in varied interest rate environments.
