MDT Advisers, a Division of Federated MDTA LLC

MDT Advisers, a division of Federated MDTA LLC, is an institutional-scale quantitative investment manager that provides discretionary Investment Supervisory Services, model portfolio management, and subadvisory services to a mix of individual, high-net-worth, and institutional clients, including registered investment companies and managed-account programs. The firm’s brochure reports approximately $11.66 billion in discretionary assets under management and describes services for Separate Accounts, Managed Accounts, Investment Companies and other pooled vehicles.

The firm describes a proprietary quantitative investment process built around three elements — portfolio selection, trading, and model construction — and offers a range of equity strategies (all-cap, large-, mid-, small- and micro-cap, market neutral, tax-aware, and a balanced option for investment companies). The brochure emphasizes bottom-up stock selection, incorporation of trading- and tax-cost considerations to control turnover, and periodic model releases used to generate model portfolios for Overlay Managers and Managed Account sponsors.

The brochure also highlights two features that differ from many peers: it discloses affiliated entities that are registered as commodity pool operators and trading advisors, and it makes performance materials available (including GIPS-compliant reports posted at FederatedHermes.com) and presents predecessor performance information in its materials. The filing further notes the firm operates within the Federated Hermes group and leverages shared resources — for example, stewardship and engagement insights from EOS — which the firm says are managed under information barriers and governance protocols.
