Investment Income, Gains and Losses,
Expenses and Distributions
Investment
transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. In addition, distributions of capital gains, if any,
are declared and paid at least annually. Amortization/accretion
of premium and discount is included in investment income. The detail of the
total fund expense waiver and reimbursements of $90,084 is disclosed in various locations in this Note 2 and Note 4.
The
Fund may pay other service fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund to unaffiliated financial intermediaries or to
Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services
to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to
the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for other service fees. In addition, unaffiliated
third-party financial intermediaries may waive other service fees. This waiver can be modified or terminated at any time. For the
period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund did not incur other service fees.
It
is the Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and
to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its
income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the period
ended July 31, 2026, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if
any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of July 31, 2026, the current tax year will be
subject to examination by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions,
which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The
Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains
security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased
on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses
may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the
contract.
The
Fund may purchase securities which are considered restricted. Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered
for public sale without first being registered, or being able
to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of
1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale
without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security
has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either
upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be
resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria
established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. Restricted securities are valued at amortized
cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from
those estimated. The Fund applies investment company accounting
and reporting guidance.

4. INVESTMENT
ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The
advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or
reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund for competitive reasons such as to maintain the Fund’s expense ratio, or as and
when appropriate, to maintain positive or zero net yields. For
the period ended July 31, 2026, the Adviser voluntarily waived $5,472 of its
fee and voluntarily reimbursed $53,637 of other operating expenses and $30,975 of transfer agent fees.
