Where FHI is headed
Federated Hermes spent the 2022-2025 rate cycle gorging on money market assets. By mid-2026, MMF AUM sits around $630 billion, roughly 70% of total managed assets, throwing off the bulk of revenue at expanded fee rates after the 2023 waivers rolled off. The business is in better shape than it has been in a decade. The share price reflects that, parked at $58 against a 52-week high of $59.05.
