FHI Federated Investors
FMP Stock News 78

Builds on over 50-years of money markets innovation Further evidence of commitment to evolving Digital Assets Product and Strategy Continues growth of APAC product offering following recent announcement of Hong Kong expansion plans , /PRNewswire/ -- Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a global leader in active investing, today announced a strategic alliance with Singapore-based Conduit Digital Holdings Pte Ltd, part of the Conduit Group, to support the launch of a regulated tokenized distribution structure in APAC. Under this arrangement, the Conduit-managed investment fund will invest in the Federated Hermes Short-Term U.S. Prime Fund. Shares of the Conduit fund, which provide exposure to the underlying Federated Hermes fund, will then be tokenized and offered to institutional and wholesale investors, in APAC.

For over 50 years, Federated Hermes has been a leader in money market innovation with US$676.9 billion1 in money market assets under management. The Federated Hermes Short-Term U.S. Prime Fund is an actively managed, UCITS-authorized money market fund that aims to provide current income while maintaining daily liquidity and a stable principal value. It invests primarily in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term debt instruments like commercial paper and certificates of deposit.

Federated Hermes' strategic alliance with Conduit builds on a series of recent money market initiatives including: an alliance with UK-based Archax, an FCA-regulated digital securities exchange, to provide tokenized access to three UCITS money market funds; participation in an industry-wide, regulated initiative using mirrored tokenization to enhance transferability, collateral utility and real-time tracking of fund shares; and the launch of Federated Hermes' first GENIUS Act-aligned money market fund in the US, designed to support stablecoin reserve use cases, with potential for future tokenization/tokenized share classes.

Federated Hermes' approach to regulated digital assets, tokenization and next-generation investment infrastructure is led by Kevin Barr, who was appointed as Director, Digital Assets Product and Platform Strategy in May 2026.

This announcement represents Federated Hermes' first digital assets initiative in APAC, demonstrating a continued commitment to the growing digital asset ecosystem in the market by enhancing visibility and supporting customer needs through its role as the underlying asset manager to this tokenized offering. Earlier this year, Federated Hermes announced plans to expand its Asia-Pacific footprint - which includes existing offices in Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney - with the opening of a Hong Kong office as part of a long-term growth strategy to deepen relationships with private banks, family offices, wealth intermediaries and institutional investors across the region.

1As of 30 June 2026

Kevin Barr, Director, Digital Assets Product and Platform Strategy at Federated Hermes comments: "We are excited to support innovative cash management solutions that better serve client needs, building on our legacy of innovation in the money market fund space. Vaults represent a compelling evolution in investment management, and we see a significant opportunity to bring our legacy of trust and fiduciary responsibility to this emerging space. We continue to explore on-chain distribution opportunities to enhance flexibility and accessibility, while preserving access to the stability and yield characteristics typically associated with money market funds. Today's announcement reflects our continued commitment to building a larger digital asset presence, leveraging one of our core strengths in liquidity management.

Jim Roland, Head of Business Development, Asia Pacific and Australia at Federated Hermes further added: "Tokenized products represent a new and evolving way to engage with our clients, combining our investment expertise with Conduit's MAS-regulated end-to-end tokenization capabilities and regional distribution network. Our customers in the APAC market are leading worldwide adoption of tokenization, making this strategically important region a highly receptive market the natural choice for the launch our latest digital assets initiative."

Richard Schroder, Co-Founder and CEO of Conduit Digital Holdings commented: "We are delighted to work with Federated Hermes to have their U.S. Prime Fund as the anchor product of the CDH tokenized multicurrency money market offering. We are committed to unlocking the full utility of these tokens - moving beyond simple settlement to enable use as collateral, multicurrency management, and integration into AI agentic treasury management systems. This is where the real efficiency gains for our customers lie, and we are building the infrastructure to make that a reality." 

Chris O'Meara, CEO of Conduit Asset Management and Chairman of the Conduit Group, added: "This collaboration with Federated Hermes marks a defining moment for the Conduit Group. Conduit Digital Holdings sits at the heart of our vision for the future of asset management in Asia-Pacific - bringing institutional-grade products onchain through regulated, MAS-licensed infrastructure. As investment manager to the fund, Conduit Asset Management is proud to combine our fiduciary oversight with the strength of an active manager with over 50 years of money market leadership. The Group is fully committed to Conduit Digital Holding's growth, and this launch is only the first step in building the institutional access layer for tokenized real-world assets across the region."

Key Takeaways FHI raised its quarterly dividend 11.8% and maintains a 28% payout ratio.Federated Hermes had nearly 2.3 million shares available for repurchase as of June 30, 2026.FHI's acquisitions are expanding its asset management platform and assets under management. Federated Hermes, Inc. (FHI - Free Report) maintains a disciplined capital allocation strategy focused on returning value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The company has a strong dividend track record, having paid regular dividends since its initial public offering in 1998. In April 2026, FHI raised its quarterly dividend by 11.8% to 38 cents per share, further strengthening its shareholder return profile.

Over the past five years, FHI has increased its dividend five times, delivering an annualized growth rate of 9%. Its payout ratio stands at 28%, while the stock currently offers a 2.3% dividend yield. The moderate payout ratio provides the company with flexibility to retain earnings for business investments while continuing to reward shareholders.

Beyond dividends, Federated Hermes actively returns capital through share repurchases. In July 2025, its board authorized the company’s 18th repurchase program, allowing it to buy back up to an additional 5 million shares with no expiration date. With three active programs, its total repurchase authorization reached 15 million shares. As of June 30, 2026, nearly 2.3 million shares remained available for repurchase, providing additional capacity for capital deployment.

Meanwhile, FHI continues to pursue strategic acquisitions to strengthen its asset management platform and expand assets under management. In April 2026, the company acquired an 80% stake in FCP Fund Manager, adding approximately $3.2 billion in U.S. multifamily real estate managed assets. Earlier acquisitions, including Rivington Energy Management and C.W. Henderson, further expanded its infrastructure and separately managed accounts capabilities. These investments are positioning FHI to support both growth initiatives and shareholder returns.

The company also maintains a solid liquidity profile. As of June 30, 2026, it had $480.7 million in cash and other investments compared with $348.5 million in long-term debt. It also had access to a $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility, with no outstanding borrowings. The healthy liquidity position provides financial flexibility to meet its obligations, pursue growth opportunities and navigate challenging economic conditions.

With consistent dividend growth, additional share repurchase capacity, strategic acquisitions and a solid liquidity profile, FHI is well-positioned to balance shareholder returns with investments that can drive sustainable long-term growth.

Where Do FHI’s Peers Stand in Terms of Capital Returns?Similar to Federated Hermes, its peers T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW - Free Report) and Franklin Resources, Inc. (BEN - Free Report) have also strengthened shareholder returns through dividend increases and buybacks.

T. Rowe Price raised its quarterly dividend by 2.4% to $1.30 per share in February 2026, marking another annual increase since its IPO in 1986. In March 2020, T. Rowe Price approved a repurchase plan for 24.1 million shares, which was increased by nearly 15 million shares in 2020 to 39.1 million shares. As of June 30, 2026, 6.9 million shares remained available under the authorization.

Meanwhile, Franklin Resources announced a 3.1% increase in its common stock dividend in December 2025. Franklin Resources also authorized an additional 20.8 million shares for repurchase, bringing the total authorization to 40 million shares, with $35.6 million worth of shares remaining available as of June 30, 2026.

FHI’s Price Performance and Zack RankShares of the company have gained 16.7% in the past six months compared with the industry’s growth of 12.7%.

Original source text
Federated Hermes NYSE: FHI ended the second quarter with record assets under management of $912 billion, supported by growth in equities and private markets, while money market assets declined modestly from the prior quarter, executives said during the company’s analyst call.

President and CEO Chris Donahue said equity assets reached a record $110 billion at quarter-end, rising $8.8 billion, or 9%, from the first quarter, primarily reflecting market appreciation. Gross equity sales totaled $9.1 billion, near the prior quarter’s record level, while net redemptions were $1.1 billion. That figure included an expected $3 billion global equity sub-advisory redemption previously discussed by the company.

Get Federated Hermes alerts:

Equity and Fixed-Income Activity Equity sales were led by Federated Hermes’ MDT fundamental quantitative strategies. MDT equity and market-neutral strategies generated a record $6 billion in gross sales and more than $3.5 billion in net sales during the quarter. Across the company’s equity platform, 35 equity fund and separately managed account strategies posted net sales, including $2.7 billion from MDT offerings, excluding market-neutral strategies, and $470 million from Strategic Value.

At the end of the quarter, 54% of the company’s equity funds outperformed their Morningstar peer groups over three years, while 30% ranked in the top quartile of their categories. Through July 24, combined equity funds and separately managed accounts had $61 million in net sales for the third quarter to date.

Fixed-income assets ended the second quarter at slightly more than $100 billion, up $689 million. Market appreciation added roughly $1 billion, partly offset by net redemptions and exchanges. The company cited net sales in 26 fixed-income funds and separately managed accounts, led by Core Plus and Core Aggregate SMAs, ultrashort bond funds and the Conservative Muni Micro Short Fund.

Donahue said the firm believes its fixed-income product range and investment management capabilities position it for positive flows. He noted increased interest in shorter-duration offerings such as ultrashort and conservative micro-short strategies. Through July 24, fixed-income funds and SMAs had generated $362 million of net sales in the third quarter.

Private Markets Expansion and Pipeline Alternative private-market assets increased $2.6 billion during the quarter to $21.6 billion. The increase included $3.2 billion in U.S. multifamily real estate assets added through the early-April completion of Federated Hermes’ acquisition of an 80% interest in FCP Fund Manager, L.P.

The company said its MDT market-neutral fund and ETF recorded $150 million in net sales. Federated Hermes is also raising capital for the sixth vintage of its global private equity co-investment fund, which had closed on $300 million to date. The company said its first four private equity co-investment funds raised between $400 million and $600 million each, while the fifth raised $500 million.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the company had about $3.4 billion of net institutional wins yet to fund into funds and separate accounts. The expected inflows include approximately $1.7 billion in equity strategies, $1.3 billion in private-market strategies and $300 million in fixed income. Private-market commitments include expected additions in direct lending, private equity and trade finance.

Money Market Assets and Digital Initiatives Total money market assets declined $7.9 billion, or about 1%, in the second quarter. Money market fund assets fell $2.9 billion from the first quarter to $500 billion, though they remained nearly $32 billion, or 7%, above the year-earlier level. Money market separate-account assets declined about $5 billion, which Donahue said was consistent with seasonal patterns among large state pools managed by the company.

The company estimated its money market mutual fund market share, including sub-advised funds, at about 6.7% at quarter-end, compared with 6.9% in the first quarter. Donahue said market-share movements can reflect a variety of factors, including client activity, retail yield programs, large capital-markets transactions and investors moving into ultrashort strategies.

Chief Investment Officer for Money Markets Debbie Cunningham said the first half saw volatility tied to large IPO and long-term debt transactions, including activity involving Amazon, Alphabet, Anthropic and SpaceX. She said money market funds remain attractive in a short-end rate environment of roughly 3.5% to 4.5% and that the company expects money market funds, separate accounts and pools to continue gathering assets.

Federated Hermes also discussed early-stage digital asset efforts. It recently launched the Money Market Management Digital Treasury Fund, designed to support traditional and on-chain distribution. The fund’s initial reserve shares class is non-tokenized and intended for institutional investors and stablecoin issuers seeking investments aligned with stablecoin reserve requirements. The company is also developing an on-chain share class using blockchain infrastructure for its official books and records.

Revenue, Expenses and Outlook Chief Financial Officer Tom Donahue said second-quarter revenue increased $23.8 million, or 5%, from the first quarter. The FCP acquisition contributed approximately $14 million of revenue, while equity asset growth added $7.6 million and the additional calendar day added $5.1 million. Lower average money market assets reduced revenue by $8.4 million.

Operating expenses rose $17.3 million, or 5%, sequentially, driven largely by FCP acquisition costs, including $6.5 million in nonrecurring acquisition-related compensation and $3.2 million in higher professional service fees. Advertising and promotional costs increased $3.2 million, while intangible asset amortization rose $3 million, primarily because of the acquisition.

Donahue said some acquisition-related costs should decline in the next quarter, including the one-time compensation expense and professional service fees. Federated Hermes ended the quarter with $481 million in cash investments, or $416 million excluding the portion attributable to non-controlling interests. The company estimated its tax rate would range from 25% to 28% for 2026.
