Federated Hermes Ultrashort Bond Fund R6 is an open-end mutual fund focused on investment-grade, short-duration fixed income. Its primary objective is total return consistent with current income, achieved by investing mainly in high-quality debt such as asset- and mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, and government-agency securities. The strategy emphasizes capital preservation and liquidity while managing interest-rate risk through an ultrashort duration profile typically around a year or less. Positioned within the ultrashort bond category, it uses sector allocation and security selection across high-quality credit to balance yield and risk, with a Bloomberg U.S. Short-Term Government/Corporate Index commonly referenced for benchmarking context. The R6 share class is designed for institutional platforms, reflecting lower expense structures and separate performance history conventions relative to other share classes. The fund serves investors seeking a conservative fixed-income core complement or cash-plus exposure, offering diversification across multiple high-grade sectors with disciplined credit research and risk controls integral to its process.
