Forward Guidance
Market expectations are that the central bank will raise interest rates multiple times in 2022, starting in March. Higher yields in 2022 will lower the impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers.
Positive Outlook
- Market expectations are that the central bank will raise interest rates multiple times in 2022, starting in March
- Higher yields in 2022 will lower the impact of voluntary yield-related fee waivers.
- The net negative impact on pre-tax income from voluntary yield-related fee waivers on money market mutual funds and certain separate accounts may be approximately $22 million during Q1 2022.
- Assuming an increase in interest rates of 25 basis points by the Federal Reserve in March 2022, the Q1 estimated $22 million of net negative impact on pre-tax income from voluntary yield-related waivers is expected to be reduced by approximately 90% for Q2.
Challenges Ahead

- Risk factors and uncertainties that can influence Federated Hermes' financial results are discussed in the company's annual and quarterly reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
- Any change in these factors can impact the amount and level of voluntary yield-related fee waivers, including in a material way.
