The world’s best investment manager – public equities 2026: Federated Hermes

Federated Hermes is the world’s best investment manager for public equities, in no small part thanks to its Asia ex Japan Equity strategy. The product offers a compelling blueprint for what a best in class public equities manager should deliver to private banks and wealth managers globally: consistent outperformance, genuinely active stock selection, and a philosophy that aligns with long term, benchmark aware but unconstrained portfolios.
