About VSFIX

Federated Hermes Clover Small Value Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation by primarily investing in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. companies with small market capitalizations. The fund follows a value-oriented strategy, focusing on companies that appear undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth, often identified by lower price-to-earnings ratios and higher dividend yields. By concentrating its portfolio in small-cap value stocks, the fund aims to capitalize on growth potential within the small-cap segment, though this approach introduces higher volatility and liquidity risk compared to investments in larger companies. Additionally, the fund’s sector allocations may vary, potentially making its performance more susceptible to developments in those sectors. Federated Hermes Clover Small Value Fund Institutional Shares benchmarks its performance to the Russell 2000 Index, reflecting its focus on the U.S. small-cap value market segment and serving investors seeking diversification and exposure to underrepresented corners of the equity market.
