The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in the common stock of large-sized U.S. companies. The investment strategy of Federated MDTA LLC ("Federated"), the Fund's sub-adviser, utilizes a large-cap growth approach by selecting most of its investments from companies listed in the Russell 1000 ? Growth Index, an index that measures the performance of those companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values within the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, which includes the 1,000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization. Federated considers a company to be large-cap if it falls within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 ? Growth Index. As the Fund's sector exposure approximates the Russell 1000 ? Growth Index, the Fund may, from time to time, have large allocations to certain broad market sectors, such as technology, consumer discretionary and healthcare. As of March 31, 2025, companies in the Russell 1000 ? Growth Index ranged in market capitalization from $681 million to $3.3 trillion. The Fund is classified as a non-diversified mutual fund, which means that the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers than a diversified fund. Federated implements its strategy using a quantitative model driven by fundamental and technical stock selection variables. This process seeks to impose strict discipline over stock selection, unimpeded by market or manager psychology. It seeks to maximize compound annual return while controlling risk. The process also takes into account trading costs in an effort to ensure that trades are generated only to the extent they are expected to be profitable on an after-trading-cost basis. Additionally, risk is controlled through diversification constraints which limit exposure to individual companies as well as groups of correlated companies. This strategy to invest at least 80% of its total assets in domestic equity securities of U.S. large-cap securities is not fundamental (it may be changed without shareholder approval), but should the Fund decide to change this strategy, it will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' notice. The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective. Show less
