  • The electric vehicle (EV) market has the potential to deliver strong growth and long-term outperformance both in terms of financial returns and driving sustainable change.
  • Companies that provide key components to the auto industry and boast significant market share can provide a compelling way to gain indirect exposure to the market. Federated Hermes Limited prefer to focus on suppliers developing products that they believe will prove integral to the electric-powered, self-driving vehicles of the future.
