Why MDT?

Federated Hermes MDT Advisers offers a broad suite of US quantitative investment solutions to fit a variety of portfolio structures as a core or complementary strategy. MDT US equity seeks to not only deliver positive relative performance for our clients, but also to do so with as much consistency as possible.

Investment philosophy

We believe excess returns can be achieved using an active, systematic investment approach. Our view is that sophisticated modelling can identify forecasting techniques that are most relevant to different company types, resulting in greater breadth of alpha sources and the potential for more consistent performance.

Investment process

Each day, we evaluate every stock in the US market and forecast its expected return relative to each Strategy’s respective benchmark. We do this by identifying unique combinations of over a dozen factors we believe are most relevant to successfully predicting each stock’s future performance.
