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. Current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. To view performance current to the most recent month-end, and for after-tax returns, contact us or visit FederatedInvestors.com. Maximum offering price figures reflect the maximum sales charge of 5.5% for A Shares. See the prospectus for other fees and expenses that apply to a continued investment in the fund. Total returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative. ****The fund’s expense ratio is from the most recent prospectus. The expense ratio may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements determined by the fund’s Advisor and its affiliates. The voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements, if applicable, are in effect up to but not including the later of 2/1/22 or the date of the fund’s next effective prospectus. 30-day yield (also known as “SEC yield”) is a compounded and annualized figure calculated according to a formula set by the SEC. The formula requires use of a specific methodology for calculating dividends and interest earned, and expenses accrued, during the period, and reflects the maximum offering price per fund share. The standardized computation is designed to facilitate yield comparisons among different funds. The figure is compounded and annualized. In the absence of temporary expense waivers or reimbursements, the 30-day yield would have been 3.12% at maximum offering price and 3.32% at net asset value for A Shares, 3.59% for Institutional Shares and 3.60% for R6 Shares. The fund’s R6 Shares commenced operations on January 27, 2017. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of the R6 Shares, the performance information shown is for the fund’s Institutional Shares adjusted to remove any voluntary waiver of fund expenses related to the fund’s Institutional Shares that may have occurred during the periods prior to the commencement of operations of the fund’s R6 Shares. There are no guarantees that dividend-paying stocks will continue to pay dividends. In addition, dividend-paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation potential as non-dividend-paying stocks. Beta measures a portfolio’s volatility relative to the market. A beta greater than 1.00 suggests the portfolio has historically been more volatile than the market as measured by the fund’s benchmark. A beta less than 1.00 suggests the portfolio has historically had less volatility relative to the market. The ratings provided are sourced from securities ratings agencies Standard and Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s. S&P and (Moody’s), respectively, make the following credit rating classifications: A (A) or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of BBB (Baa) are good credit quality and the lowest category of investment grade; credit ratings BB (Ba) and below are lower-rated securities (“junk bonds”); and credit ratings of CCC (Caa) or below have high default risk. A modifier of 1 or + indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its rating category and a modifier of 3 or - indicates a ranking in the lower end of the category.
