Continued stimulus by central banks as well as fiscal responses helped to elevate financial markets and recover the economies hit by the lockdowns. Global equities continued their ascent in the U.S. to all time high levels with the help of stimulus and continued improvement of economic data. The U.S. equity markets rose during the quarter led by the S&P 500 Index, up 8.55%, followed by large-cap stocks, represented by the Russell 1000 Index, up 8.54%, followed by mid-cap stocks, represented by the Russell MidCap Index, up 7.50% followed by small-cap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000 Index, up 4.29%. Large-cap growth stocks outperformed large-cap value stocks, a reversal of a two-quarter value trade. During the quarter, the portfolio team added new equity positions of the following: Chipotle Mexican Grill, CMG (new), Coinbase, COIN (new), Nextera Energy, NEE (new), Marvell Technology, MRVL, Schlumberger Ltd., SLB (new) and Adobe, ADBE (new). Also, during the quarter, the portfolio subtracted or reduced the following select equity positions in pursuit of better opportunities: Netflix, (exited), Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Abbott Laboratories, Workday and Roper Technologies (exited). The large-cap fund did not participate in any initial public offerings (IPOs) but did participate in one secondary offering during the quarter: Zai Lab Limited. Performance Federated Hermes Kaufmann Large Cap Fund Institutional Shares returned 11.45% at NAV for the three months ended June 30, 2021. That compares with its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 11.93% during the same period. Performance contributors • Stocks that made a positive contribution to perfor Inc., Microsoft Corporation,mance IDEXX included Laboratories, Moderna, Alphabet and Genmab Performance detractors • Stocks that detracted fr om performance included Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Las Vegas Sands, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, Coinbase Global and New Fortress Energy Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

How we are positioned As the U.S. economy continues through 2021, many unknowns remain, from the new composition of Washington D.C. to the sustainability of the current economic recovery. These questions among others are likely to persist throughout the year, which could cause market uncertainty. The U.S. equity market, however, continues to show resiliency throughout the year with the IPO market reaching record levels with the second quarter surpassing the first with issuance and capital raised. The U.S. IPO market priced 113 issuances, raising nearly $39.9 billion according to Renaissance Capital, an increase from 100 issuances in the first quarter of 2021. Despite the macro uncertainties, the Kaufmann team continues to be focused on finding and investing in companies that have little dependence on the economy, good or bad, to generate significant sales and earnings growth. This quarter the fund had approximately 73% of the portfolio invested in four sectors: Information Technology, Health Care, Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services. The sector weightings of the portfolio are a byproduct of our bottom-up stock selection strategy with a team of sector-specialist portfolio managers. These sectors also have historically provided good opportunities for bottom-up growth investors. We seek to find companies that have company-specific catalysts for growth rather than develop macro themes to construct sector weightings.
