Federated Hermes Opportunistic High Yield Bond Fund - SS Shares (FHYTX)

The primary objective of this fund is to deliver a high level of current income. To achieve this, it strategically invests in a broad, diversified portfolio consisting mainly of higher-yielding, sub-investment-grade fixed-income instruments, often referred to as "junk bonds," from both domestic and foreign companies, including various loan-based securities. The fund's investment adviser carefully handpicks assets based on their assessment of favorable risk-adjusted return potential. This selection methodology entails an in-depth evaluation of the issuing entity's financial stability, the robustness of its business and product offerings, its competitive market position, and the proficiency of its management team.
