Business Combination And Equity Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Combination and Equity Acquisition	Business Combination and Equity Acquisition Effective October 1, 2022, Federated Hermes completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of C.W. Henderson and Associates, Inc. (CWH), a Chicago-based registered investment advisor specializing in the management of tax-exempt municipal securities (CWH Acquisition). This acquisition will enhance Federated Hermes’ existing separately managed accounts business. An initial closing purchase price of $28.0 million was paid on September 30, 2022 and was recorded in Other Current Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The purchase agreement provides for a series of contingent purchase price payments, which can total as much as $17.6 million in the aggregate and can become payable annually over the next five years based on certain levels of net revenue growth. Due to the timing of the CWH Acquisition, the information necessary to complete the preliminary purchase price allocation is not yet available. Federated Hermes expects to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocation in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. On March 14, 2022, Federated Hermes completed a tender offer resulting in the acquisition of the remaining approximate 10% noncontrolling interests in Federated Hermes Limited (FHL, formerly known as Hermes Fund Managers Limited) from a trustee of a non-U.S. domiciled employee benefit trust established for the benefit of certain members of FHL’s management, a non-U.S. resident former FHL employee and other non-U.S. resident key FHL employees under a long-term incentive plan established in connection with the 2018 acquisition of FHL (2022 Acquisition of FHL Noncontrolling Interests). Pursuant to the 2022 Acquisition of FHL Noncontrolling Interests, FHL became a 100% indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Federated Hermes. The 2022 Acquisition of FHL Noncontrolling Interests was transacted in shares whereby Federated Hermes issued awards of restricted Class B common stock under Federated Hermes Stock Incentive Plan and Federated Hermes UK Sub-Plan, as amended, and treasury Class B common stock, in exchange for the beneficial interests in shares of FHL. The FHL shares were exchanged at fair value for Federated Hermes shares valued at £36.4 million or $47.5 million, which was based on a third-party valuation of FHL. See Note (12) for additional information regarding the share exchange.
