Our read on each fund
EPSA
FLCCC
In short
EPS Large-cap core with a profit filter. Roughly 500 U.S. companies, all of them earnings generators, tracked since 2007 for 0.08% a year. Same plumbing as a plain index fund, with a screen most of them skip.
FLCC A model, not a committee, picks the roughly 150 large-cap US stocks here. Federated Hermes put its MDT quant team into an ETF wrapper in 2024, building a core-shaped portfolio instead of tracking an index.
Stated mandate
EPS The fund seeks to track earnings-generating large-cap companies in the U.S. equity market.
FLCC The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation primarily through common stocks of large-capitalization U.S. companies.
