II.  SUB-ADVISER CHANGE TO THE VALUE EQUITY FUND
Effective on or about October 2, 2026, Federated MDTA LLC (MDT) will become a new sub-adviser to the Value Equity Fund (VEF).
In the section disclosing Control Persons of Sub-Advisers for the VEF, on page 76, the following paragraph is added in alphabetical order.
Federated MDTA LLC (MDT), 125 High Street, Oliver Street Tower, 21st Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110: MDT is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Federated Hermes, Inc. (Federated Hermes). MDT organized as a Delaware limited liability company on February 13, 1997. Its original name was HBSS Newco LLC. MDT first registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, on November 13, 1997. Federated Hermes is organized as a Pennsylvania corporation and is a publicly owned company (Ticker Symbol: FHI).
i
In the section disclosing Portfolio Manager Compensation, beginning on page 89, the disclosure pertaining to MDT is added in alphabetical order:
Federated MDTA LLC (MDT). Portfolio managers receive a fixed base salary and a variable annual incentive designed to be competitive within the investment management industry. Base salary is determined based on experience, responsibilities and individual performance within a market-based salary range.
The variable annual incentive is based primarily on investment performance and may also include a discretionary component reflecting factors such as financial results, overall contributions and other considerations deemed relevant by management. Incentive compensation may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and restricted stock of Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI).
Investment performance is generally evaluated on a rolling one-, three- and five-year pre-tax gross total return basis relative to a fund's benchmark (e.g., the Russell 1000® Value Index) and designated peer groups of comparable accounts. Performance periods may be adjusted when a portfolio manager has managed an account for less than the full evaluation period, and accounts with less than one year of performance history may be excluded.
In determining incentive compensation, accounts managed by a portfolio manager are grouped into investment strategies. Strategy performance is measured against applicable benchmarks and peer groups, with different strategies assigned varying weightings. Because the portfolio managers are responsible for multiple accounts and strategies, the Fund's performance represents one component of the overall performance evaluation. Management retains discretion to adjust incentive awards based on overall contributions, account performance, and other factors deemed relevant.
Certain portfolio managers may also receive discretionary awards of restricted Federated Hermes, Inc. stock. The amount and timing of such awards are determined by senior management in its discretion.
