Federated Hermes Launches Australia Wholesale Access to Global Trade Finance Fund
The global asset manager introduces its trade finance strategy to Australian wholesale investors, widening access to an established institutional asset class
Federated Hermes has entered Australia’s wholesale investment market with the launch of a feeder into its Global Trade Finance Fund, marking a significant expansion of its local product offerings.
The AUD-denominated share class provides wholesale investors in Australia with access to a trade finance strategy that Federated Hermes has deployed for more than 15 years for global institutional clients.
The fund invests across a broad spectrum of trade and project finance assets — including export, import and supply chain financing — that are designed to generate income and diversify portfolios with limited reliance on traditional market return drivers.
The strategy’s ability to deliver risk-adjusted returns, quarterly liquidity and defensive characteristics during periods of public market turbulence has been a cornerstone of its appeal to institutional clients internationally.
Senior figures at Federated Hermes emphasised that this launch leverages the firm’s extensive wealth management heritage in the United States and Europe and responds to demand from Australian wholesale investors for investment solutions beyond traditional fixed income.
The expansion also strengthens Federated Hermes’ presence in Australia’s investment management landscape and lays the groundwork for future products tailored to local investors’ needs as part of broader growth plans in the Asia-Pacific region.
