The Adviser and certain of its affiliates on their own initiative have agreed to waive certain amounts
of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Effective August 1, 2026, total annual fund
operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, tax reclaim recovery expenses,
interest expense, extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses, if any) paid by the Fund’s A
class and C class (after the voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements) will not exceed 1.24% and
1.99% (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”):
(a) August 1, 2027; or (b) the date of the Fund’s next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its
affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the
Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the
Termination Date with the approval of the Trustees.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 26% of the average value of its portfolio.
RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: INVESTMENTS, RISKS and PERFORMANCE
What are the Fund’s Main Investment Strategies?
The Fund primarily invests in a portfolio of equity securities of issuers tied economically to emerging market countries (“emerging market issuers”). Emerging market issuers include companies meeting one or more of the following criteria: (i) the principal trading market for the issuer’s securities is in an emerging market country; (ii) the issuer derives at least 50% of its total
2

revenue or profit from goods produced or sold and investments made or services performed in emerging market countries; (iii) the issuer has at least 50% of its assets in emerging market countries; or (iv) the company is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, an emerging market country. Emerging market countries include any country designated as an emerging market country in any widely recognized index of emerging market or frontier market securities, such as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, MSCI ACWI ex USA Index and the MSCI Frontier Markets Index. Emerging markets include frontier markets and most countries in the world other than Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, most of the countries of Western Europe and Hong Kong. “Frontier markets” refers to the markets of smaller, less accessible, but still investable, countries of the developing world.
The Fund may make significant investments in issuers located or doing business in a single country or geographic region. The Fund may invest in securities across all market capitalizations, and the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies of any one particular market capitalization category.
Federated Global Investment Management Corp.’s (the “Adviser”) investment process seeks to identify companies with robust and sustainable growth rates, high-quality balance sheets and management teams with clearly defined growth strategies. In allocating the Fund’s assets across geographies, the Adviser uses its proprietary, multi-factor country allocation model to identify and score countries based on factors such as the economic and financial market conditions within each country, specifically economic growth projections, stock market valuation, risk position and stock market momentum. Next, the Adviser applies a bottom-up security selection screen, which scores all stocks with a particular market capitalization based on growth, profitability and momentum factors, to yield a pool of securities for further fundamental analysis and review. The Adviser’s portfolio construction process seeks to combine the best investment candidates within the Adviser’s recommended framework of country allocations and security selections.
The Fund may invest in securities denominated in any currency, including U.S. dollars, other developed market currencies, such as the euro, yen and pound sterling, and the currencies of the emerging markets in which the Fund may invest. The Fund may use closed-end funds and derivative instruments to gain exposure to markets, a particular index, or a particular issuer or security. Derivative instruments include, but are not limited to, financial futures, as well as currency futures and currency forward contracts.
3

The Fund typically does not seek to limit its foreign currency exposure, but the Adviser may determine in its discretion to seek to hedge some of its currency exposures back to the U.S. dollar. For example, the Fund may utilize currency forwards to seek to reduce the effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the Fund’s performance, where practical. The Fund may also use exchange-traded futures for the efficient management of cash flows and to gain exposure to the asset classes discussed above.
The Fund’s investment strategy may involve, at times, investing a significant portion of its assets in one or more industries or sectors that the Adviser believes hold high potential. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in the securities of a particular issuer or companies in a particular country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class. The Fund’s exposure to various risks may be heightened, including price volatility and adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that issuer, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class.
The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include, for example, common and preferred stocks, American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts, and other U.S. listings of foreign common stocks. The Fund may use closed-end funds and derivative instruments to gain exposure to markets, a particular index, or a particular issuer or security.
The Fund may use derivative contracts to increase or decrease the portfolio’s exposure to the investment(s) underlying the derivative instruments in an attempt to benefit from changes in the value of the underlying investment(s), to obtain premiums from the sale of derivative contracts; to realize gains from trading a derivative contract or to hedge against potential losses. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s use of derivative contracts will work as intended. Derivative investments made by the Fund that provide investment exposure to investments suggested by the Fund’s name are included within the Fund’s 80% policy and are calculated at notional value.
The Fund will invest its assets so that at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) are invested in equity securities of emerging market countries. The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policies.
The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective. Active trading will cause the Fund to have an increased portfolio turnover rate and increase the Fund’s trading costs, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s performance. An active trading strategy will likely result in the Fund generating more short-term capital gains or losses. Short-term gains are generally taxed at a higher rate than long-term gains. Any short-term losses are used first to offset short-term gains.

What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund?
All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s returns include:
■ Stock Market Risk. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Declines in value can occur because of events relating to an issuer of a particular security resulting in a decline in the price of a particular portfolio holding, shareholder redemptions, or events relating to the broader stock market or economy, including changes in interest rates, industry or economic trends, monetary policy changes, market volatility and liquidity, or other adverse effects, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. Information publicly available about an issuer, whether from the issuer’s financial statements or other disclosures or from third parties, or information available to some but not all market participants, also can affect the price of an issuer’s shares in the market. The Adviser and its affiliated investment advisers, as well as third party advisers, also may manage other funds and accounts that use similar investment strategies, and invest in similar securities, as the Fund, and investments in certain securities by multiple funds and accounts, including those managed by the Adviser and its affiliates, could impact the availability of suitable securities and cause a capacity constraint associated with the Fund’s investment strategy and could cause the Fund to be closed entirely or partially to new investment by all or certain shareholders.
■ Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the Fund invests and/or other markets. Global economic, political and financial conditions, including geopolitical conflicts and other events (e.g., wars, sanctions and terrorism), legislative changes, industry or economic trends and developments, natural disasters or public health risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time, and for varying periods of time, have a significant effect the economies of many nations, including the U.S., on financial markets generally and cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, loss of value, shareholder redemptions, and/or other potentially adverse effects.
■ Risk of Foreign Investing. The foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be subject to economic or political conditions which are less favorable than those of the United States and may lack financial reporting standards or regulatory requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.
■ Risk of Investing in Depositary Receipts and Domestically Traded Securities of Foreign Issuers. Because the Fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts and other domestically traded securities of foreign companies, whether in the United States or in foreign local markets, the
5

Fund’s Share price may be more affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies and accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case.
■ Risk of Investing in Emerging Market Countries. Securities issued or traded in emerging markets generally entail greater risks than securities issued or traded in developed markets. Securities markets within emerging market countries may experience low or non-existent trading volume, resulting in a lack of liquidity and increased volatility in prices for such securities. Political and economic structures in emerging market countries generally lack the social, political and economic stability of developed countries, which may affect the value of the Fund’s investments in these countries. There may be less publicly available information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets, and such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject.
■ Greater China Risk. Although larger and/or more established than many emerging markets, the markets of the Greater China region function in many ways as emerging markets, and carry the high levels of risks associated with emerging markets. Investments in the Greater China region may be subject to the risks associated with trading on less-developed trading markets, in addition to risks associated with the Chinese government’s substantial control over the Chinese economy and possible negative repercussions from such authority, acute political risks resulting from China’s relationship with Taiwan or Hong Kong, restrictions on monetary repatriation, and/or other adverse government actions, which could likely have a significant adverse impact on the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments in the Greater China region. As export-driven economies, the economies of countries in the Greater China region are affected by developments in the economies of and relations with their principal trading partners. The implementation of more stringent tariffs or trade restrictions on Chinese exports by the U.S. government or other foreign governments, or even the threat of these actions, could have a negative impact on the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. In addition, the risk of sanctions or restrictions on certain Chinese issuers and their securities by the U.S. government or other governments may impact investments in such securities, and the Fund may be forced to sell such restricted securities and incur a loss as a result.
■ Currency Risk. Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. Accordingly, the Fund may experience increased volatility with respect to the value of its Shares and its returns as a result of its exposure to foreign currencies through direct holdings of such currencies or holdings of non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities.
■ European Union and Eurozone Related Risk. A number of countries in the European Union (EU), including certain countries within the EU that have adopted the euro (Eurozone), have experienced, and may continue to
6

experience, severe economic and financial difficulties. Additional countries within the EU may also fall subject to such difficulties. These events could negatively affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments in euro-denominated securities and derivatives contracts, securities of issuers located in the EU or with significant exposure to EU issuers or countries.
■ Liquidity Risk. The securities in which the Fund invests may be less readily marketable and may be subject to greater fluctuation in price than other securities.
■ Small-Cap Company Risk. The Fund may invest in small capitalization (or “small-cap”) companies. Small-cap companies may have less liquid stock, a more volatile share price, unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. The above factors could make small-cap companies more likely to fail than larger companies, and increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio, performance and Share price.
■ Mid-Cap Company Risk. The Fund may invest in mid-capitalization (or “mid-cap”) companies. Mid-cap companies often have narrower markets, limited managerial and financial resources, more volatile performance and greater risk of failure, compared to larger, more established companies. These factors could increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio, performance and Share price.
■ Focused Investment Risk. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in the securities of a particular issuer or companies in a particular country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class, the Fund’s exposure to various risks may be heightened, including price volatility and adverse economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting that issuer, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class.
■ Risk Related to Investing for Growth. Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks. Additionally, growth stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks.
■ Risk of Investing in Derivative Contracts. Derivative contracts involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Specific risk issues related to the use of such contracts include valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund and a potential reduction in gains to the Fund. Each of these issues is described in greater detail in this Prospectus. Derivative contracts may also involve other risks described in this Prospectus, such as stock market, interest rate, credit, currency, liquidity and leverage risks.
■ Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Such non-payment or default may reduce the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price and its performance.
7

■ Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.
■ Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise. The longer the duration of a fixed-income security, the more susceptible it is to interest rate risk. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates.
■ Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs. Custodial services and other costs relating to investment in international securities markets generally are more expensive due to differing settlement and clearance procedures than those of the United States.
■ Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange-traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down.
■ Quantitative Modeling Risk. The Fund employs quantitative models as a management technique. These models examine multiple economic factors using various proprietary and third-party data. The results generated by quantitative analysis may perform differently than expected and may negatively affect Fund performance for various reasons (for example, human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, or programming inaccuracies).
■ Technology Risk. The Adviser uses various technologies in managing the Fund consistent with its investment objective and strategy described in this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance.
The Shares offered by this Prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Performance: Bar Chart and Table
Risk/Return Bar Chart
The Fund is the legal entity successor to the PNC Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“Predecessor Fund”), a portfolio of PNC Funds, pursuant to a tax-free reorganization that took place on November 15, 2019. Pursuant to the reorganization, the Fund is the legal entity survivor and the Predecessor Fund is the accounting and tax survivor of the reorganization. Accordingly, the
8

performance information, including information on fees and expenses and financial information provided in this prospectus for periods prior to the reorganization (the Fund’s commencement of investment operations) is historical information for the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund was managed by the same portfolio management team as the Fund, had an identical investment objective and substantially identical strategies, policies and restrictions. Given the above, unless specifically stated otherwise, subsequent references in this section to the Fund should be read to include the Predecessor Fund.
The Fund’s A and C classes have not yet commenced operations. The Fund currently offers two other classes of shares: Institutional Shares (“IS class”) and Class R6 Shares. For periods prior to the reorganization (the Fund’s commencement of investment operations) the performance of the Fund’s IS class is the historical performance of the Predecessor Fund’s I class. For the periods prior to the commencement of operations of the A and C classes, the performance information shown below is for the Fund’s IS class. The performance of the IS class has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses applicable to the A or C class. The performance has been adjusted to reflect the differences in sale charges and deferred sales charges applicable to A class and C class. The A, C and IS classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns will differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses and sales loads. It is anticipated that the expense ratios of the A and C classes will be higher than the expense ratio of the IS class; accordingly, the actual performance of the A and C classes is anticipated to be lower than the performance of the IS class.
The bar chart and performance table below are intended to help you analyze the Fund’s investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund’s IS class total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods, and includes comparative performance information with a broad-based securities market index. The Fund’s performance is also compared to a secondary index to show how the Fund’s performance compares with the returns of an index with similar investments. The Fund’s performance will fluctuate, and past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of future results. Updated performance information for the Fund is
9

available under the “Products” section at FederatedHermes.com/us or by calling 1-800-341-7400.
The Fund’s IS class total return for the six-month period from January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026, was 37.94%.
Within the periods shown in the bar chart, the Fund’s IS class highest quarterly return was 31.63% (quarter ended June 30, 2020). Its lowest quarterly return was (20.27)% (quarter ended March 31, 2020).
Average Annual Total Return Table
The Fund’s A and C classes have not yet commenced operations. The A and C class performance information shown below is for the Fund’s IS class as described above. In addition to Return Before Taxes, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s A class to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor’s personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding Shares through a 401(k) plan, an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other tax-advantaged investment plans.
