The Board of Trustees of Federated Hermes Adviser Series has approved a new non-fundamental investment policy for the Federated Hermes Conservative Microshort Fund (the "Fund") in connection with amendments adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to Rule 35d-1 (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The new policy will become effective concurrent with the effective date of the Fund's next registration statement which is anticipated to be October 29, 2026 unless the SEC postpones, delays, reconsiders or repeals the amendments to the Rule in which case shareholders will be further notified (the "Effective Date").

For purposes of the Fund's investment strategy, the Fund will define "conservative" as investment-grade fixed income securities."
