**SUPPLEMENT TO SUMMARY PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 31, 2024** 

The Fund is updating its investment policy to indicate that it intends to be "diversified," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in approximately the same proportion as the S&P 500 Index (the "Index") is diversified. Shareholder approval will not be sought if the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of the constituents of the Index.

Accordingly, effective December 29, 2025, the Fund's Summary Prospectus will be revised to reflect the following changes:

1. Under the Summary Prospectus heading entitled "**What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies?**," please add the following information to the end of that section:

**"Diversification Policy.** The Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as the Index is diversified. The Fund may become "non-diversified," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index. Shareholder approval will not be sought if the Fund becomes "non-diversified" due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Index. The Fund discloses its portfolio holdings and weightings at FederatedHermes.com/us."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

2. Under the Summary Prospectus heading entitled "**What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund?**," please add the following risk factor to the list of risk factors in that section:

**"Non-Diversification Risk.** To the extent the Fund is non-diversified, the Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in securities or other instruments representing a small number of issuers or counterparties and thus may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers or counterparties. As a result, the Fund's performance may depend to a greater extent on the performance of a small number of issuers or counterparties, which may lead to more volatility in the Fund's net asset value (NAV)."
