26th June | Hong Kong
UK asset manager Federated Hermes ($839 billion AUM) has announced the launch of a new short duration bond fund (Federated Hermes Global Short Duration Bond Fund) for investors in Singapore & selected countries in Europe (UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal & Ireland), allowing investors to maintain lower exposure to interest rate & credit risk compared to mid & long-duration fixed income. The new bond fund is co-managed by Ihab Salib (Head of International Fixed Income) and Nicholas Tripodes (Head of Low Duration & Structured Products Group). Announcement (25/6/25): “Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE:FHI), a global leader in active investment management, today announced the launch of the Federated Hermes Global Short Duration Bond Fund. The new fund is now available to investors and offers a portfolio dedicated to credit opportunities at the shorter end of the curve. It is available to investors in Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. The Federated Hermes Global Short Duration Bond fund aims to provide investors with the ability to take a step further along the yield curve from liquidity products, while maintaining a lower exposure to interest rate and credit risk than intermediate and long-duration fixed income offerings. It is part of a wider range of short duration products that bridge the gap between Federated Hermes USD 637 billion global liquidity platform and USD100 billion fixed income platform. The current macro environment means that interest rates are likely to remain elevated and the pace of future monetary policy easing likely to be gradual. This, coupled with the possibility of further geopolitical risks and idiosyncratic events, has resulted in increased investor demand for opportunities to access short-dated investments across multiple sectors globally. The Fund is co-managed by Ihab Salib, Head of International Fixed Income, and Nicholas Tripodes, CFA, Head of Low Duration and Structured Products Group. Yulia di Mambro will be responsible for Emerging Market research; John Polinski for European Corporates research and Andrew Lennox for European ABS research.”

Jim Roland, Head of APAC distribution, Federated Hermes: “We’ve seen strong and sustained momentum in the uptake of our liquidity solutions across Asia Pacific. The launch of the Federated Hermes Global Short Duration Bond Fund is a natural extension of our fixed income and liquidity capabilities—designed to meet the evolving priorities of institutional and private banking clients. We remain committed to partnering closely with clients to deliver differentiated strategies and solutions that align with today’s market demands and tomorrow’s opportunities.”
Ihab Salib, Head of International Fixed Income, Federated Hermes: “Our global strategy enhances diversification by spreading investments across various markets and currencies. This approach not only taps into various sources of alpha from across our fixed income platform but is also capable of generating better risk adjusted total returns. The fund also benefits from the higher liquidity typically associated with short duration bonds, allowing investors easier access to their capital. We believe this new offering perfectly complements our existing liquidity, ultrashort, and low duration strategies.”
