At December 31, 2024 and 2023, Federated Hermes held investments in non-consolidated fluctuating-value Federated Hermes Funds of $48.0 million and $99.5 million, respectively, primarily in mutual funds which represent equity investments for Federated Hermes, and held investments in Separate Accounts of $6.2 million and $7.5 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were included in Investments—Affiliates and Other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Federated Hermes’ investments held in Separate Accounts as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were primarily composed of stocks of large

domestic and foreign companies ($2.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively) and domestic debt securities ($1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively).

Federated Hermes consolidates certain Federated Hermes Funds into its Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of its controlling financial interest in these Federated Hermes Funds (see Note (5)). All investments held by these consolidated Federated Hermes Funds were included in Investments—Consolidated Investment Companies on Federated Hermes’ Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The investments held by consolidated Federated Hermes Funds as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were primarily composed of foreign and domestic debt securities ($70.4 million and $59.1 million, respectively), stocks of large foreign and domestic companies ($7.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively) and stocks of small and mid-sized domestic and foreign companies ($4.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively).
