The Federated Hermes Mortgage Strategy Portfolio is a mutual fund designed to provide total return, primarily through investment in mortgage-backed securities. Its core strategy involves allocating assets chiefly to the Federated Mortgage Core Portfolio, a diversified pool within the Federated Core Trust, which itself invests in various mortgage-backed instruments, including collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). The fund serves as a fixed-income solution for eligible investors, particularly those participating in wrap fee, separately managed, or other discretionary investment accounts advised by Federated Hermes or affiliated managers. By focusing on mortgage-related securities, the fund plays a key role in the intermediate core bond sector, offering exposure to credit quality and interest-rate sensitivity characteristic of this segment. Its investments emphasize securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, reflecting a preference for established issuers in the mortgage market. With a low expense ratio and monthly dividend distributions, the portfolio aims to balance consistent income with total return objectives. The strategy is designed to appeal to investors seeking diversification and liquidity within fixed income, especially those utilizing managed account platforms.
