How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Advisers HLS Fund returned -31.64% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, versus the returns of -36.99% for the S&P 500 Index and 5.70% for the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index. The Fund underperformed the
-29.60% return of the average fund in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds that hold between 60%-80% in equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash, and cash equivalents.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as a widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These included the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy weakened further, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a U.S. and global recession, investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity and credit-related securities broadly in favor of the safety of government bonds. The credit crunch intensified as lending standards tightened and broad-based deleveraging occurred. During the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate to a target range of 0% - 0.25% and indicated that low rates are likely to persist for an extended period of time. The government also introduced a number of liquidity programs in an effort to alleviate pressures in the fixed income markets and renew investor confidence.

Treasury yields reached record lows, economic conditions deteriorated further, and a U.S. recession was confirmed in December.
Equity markets as measured by the S&P 500 returned -36.99% during the period, as all sectors within the index posted double-digit declines. Financials (-56%), Materials (-46%), and Information Technology (-43%) were the biggest laggards, while traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-15%) and Health Care (-23%) declined the least. The bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Index, returned +5.7% during the period. However, amid the flight to quality, Treasury securities rose while most non-Treasury fixed income sectors fell.
The Fund has three primary levers to generate investment performance: equity investments, fixed income investments, and asset allocation among stocks, bonds, and cash. During the period, the equity portion and the fixed income portion of the Fund both underperformed their respective benchmarks. Asset allocation detracted from the Fund’s performance as the Fund’s overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to equities and underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) to fixed income hurt relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns.
Equity underperformance versus the benchmark was primarily driven by security selection, which was weakest in Financials, Information Technology, and Energy. Sector positioning, which is a result of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) security selection, also detracted from performance due to underweight exposures to Consumer Staples and Utilities, and overweight exposures to Financials and Information Technology.
Stocks that detracted the most from the equity portion of the Fund’s relative returns during the period were Washington Mutual (Financials), Gazprom (Energy) and Lehman Brothers (Financials). Shares of consumer and small business banking company Washington Mutual fell significantly early in the year on fears that the losses it would incur on its residential real estate portfolio could force another dilutive capital raise and depress earnings for the next several years. We believed the company had substantial resources to weather the current environment and absorb the coming losses through the credit cycle. However, the FDIC forced the company’s hand by publicly expressing concern about the quality of their mortgage assets and by facilitating an acquisition by JP Morgan to minimize future risk to FDIC insurance assets. Gazprom, the world’s largest natural gas producer, saw its shares fall amid a weakening economic environment, escalating geopolitical concerns, and declining natural gas prices. Investment bank Lehman Brothers’ shares collapsed as the company fell victim to the financial crisis during the third quarter; lack of confidence, a liquidity crisis, and an inability to attract a partner ultimately led to the firm’s demise. Significant detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) returns also included General Electric (Industrials), Alcoa (Materials) and Goldman Sachs (Financials).
Top contributors to equity performance, on a relative basis, during the period were Shionogi (Health Care), Delta Air Lines (Industrials) and Comcast (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Shionogi, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, rose after the company reported steady earnings growth driven by sales of cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor and allergy drug Claritin. Delta Air Lines’ share price rallied on falling oil prices in the second half of the year. Shares of cable company Comcast outperformed as the company’s solid operating results during a challenging economic environment helped the stock price. The Fund’s holdings in Qualcomm (Information Technology) and Genentech (Health Care) also contributed positively to the equity portion of the Fund’s returns on an absolute basis.
The fixed income portion of the Fund underperformed its benchmark primarily due to its overweight allocations to spread sectors (i.e. those that offer yield premiums over Treasuries). The Fund’s allocations to mortgage-backed securities (MBS), in particular nonagency MBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and asset-backed securities (ABS), and an overweight to corporate bonds all detracted from relative results. During the twelve-month period, mortgage-backed pass-through securities underperformed duration-equivalent Treasuries due to increased interest rate volatility and a lack of market liquidity which led to forced selling of even higher quality assets. Nonagency MBS also suffered in this environment as the liquidity premium combined with elevated risk aversion pushed valuations materially lower. CMBS spreads widened as recession concerns mounted and speculation increased that commercial real estate defaults would rise. Corporate spreads also widened amid growing risk aversion, a lack of liquidity, and the largest bankruptcy in corporate bond history, Lehman Brothers. The Fund’s overweight positioning in these sectors detracted from relative performance. In addition, the Fund was positioned with an overweight to corporate debt issued by Financials. Financial issuers, at the epicenter of the credit crunch, underperformed and the Fund’s credit security selection had a negative impact on relative results.
What is the outlook?
We believe that recent government intervention will reduce systemic risk. However, U.S. economic fundamentals remain weak and the risk of further downside surprises in growth remains.
The equity portion of the Fund is managed with a large cap, core approach. We apply a bottom-up investment process in constructing a diversified portfolio. We look for companies that exhibit the following qualities: industry leadership, strong balance sheets, solid management, high return on equity,

accelerating earnings, and/or attractive valuation with a catalyst. At the end of the period, our bottom-up investment approach resulted in overweight exposures in Information Technology, Financials and Consumer Discretionary, as we found a number of attractive investment opportunities in these sectors. The Fund’s largest underweights relative to the S&P 500 were in Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Telecommunication Services.
The fixed income portion of the Fund ended the period positioned with a neutral duration (i.e. a measure of interest rate sensitivity) posture. We expect that the global slowdown will lead to further write-downs and deleveraging for corporations as the financial system struggles to raise new capital and that profits will be pressured amid slower growth. However, as of the end of the period, the Fund valuations were attractive with spreads at levels wider than in past recessions, and we positioned the Fund with an overweight to the credit sector. Government initiatives were focused on the mortgage sector and mortgage spreads continue to be attractive relative to Treasuries. The Fund ended the period with an allocation to MBS pass-throughs and select non-agency MBS, where default concerns priced into the valuations were excessive. In the CMBS market, wide spreads reflect deteriorating fundamentals. We continue to believe that there is strong collateralization in senior CMBS tranches. These securities are priced for high levels of losses and we believe that the implied loss levels are too severe. We also held a modest allocation to the ABS sector primarily in auto and credit card deals at period end.
The equity and fixed income managers will continue to work collaboratively to make decisions regarding portfolio weights in stocks, bonds, and cash. As of December 31, 2008, the Fund’s equity exposure was at 68% compared to 60% in its benchmark and at the upper end of the Fund’s 50-70% range.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund returned -45.59% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, which returned -37.31% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the
-38.66% return of the average fund in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
After rising for five consecutive years, equity markets, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, fell in 2008 as investors sought to shed risk in response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a looming global recession. An extended credit crunch has reshaped the financial landscape, beginning with the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns in February and culminating more recently in the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also slowed, sending energy and commodities prices lower.
Weakness was broad-based as every sector in the Russell 3000 Index declined by double digit amounts. Financials (-50%), Materials (-47%), and Information Technology (-43%) led the way lower. Relative strength was seen in traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-17%), Health Care (-24%), and Utilities (-28%).
The Fund underperformed its benchmark primarily due to weak stock selection. Fund results trailed those of the benchmark in nine of ten economic sectors, with the largest underperformance in the Materials, Financials, and Energy sectors. Selection was stronger in Information Technology. Allocation among sectors, a result of the bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process, was a negative contributor, largely due to underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) positions in Consumer Staples and Utilities. The Fund benefited from a modest cash position, which helped relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance in a downward-trending market.

The largest detractors from relative returns were Vedanta Resources (Materials), Ford Motor (Consumer Discretionary), and American International Group (AIG) (Financials). Vedanta, a diversified London-based mining company with operations in India, Zambia and Australia, was negatively impacted by falling commodity prices and negative investor reaction to a proposed reorganization plan. Shares of automotive company Ford Motor fell on concerns about the company’s near term earnings outlook and the unexpected retirement of its Chief Financial Officer. Insurer AIG saw its shares plummet as liquidity constraints and credit rating downgrades led to an unprecedented government bailout of the firm. The Fund also was negatively impacted by its underweight position in Exxon Mobil, a relatively strong performer during the year. Top detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) results included industrial and financial conglomerate General Electric, financial services company Bank of America, and investment bank Goldman Sachs.
ACE (Financials), Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), and Roche (Health Care) were among the top contributors to relative returns. ACE, a global property and casualty insurance company, got a share price boost from robust earnings results. Shares of Israeli drug manufacturer Teva Pharmaceuticals rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings driven by strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone. Shares of Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche benefited from positive news related to its portfolio of cancer drugs, including one used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The Fund also benefited from its underweight position in Apple, shares of which fell significantly during the period. Top absolute contributors included airline operator Delta Air Lines, agricultural products company Archer-Daniels-Midland, and online travel firm Priceline.com.
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment we continue to focus our efforts on stock-by-stock fundamental research. These bottom-up investment decisions have resulted in overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) positions in the Health Care, Financials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors and underweight exposure to Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Telecommunication Services. The Fund’s largest absolute positions were in the Health Care, Financials, and Information Technology sectors.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund returned -37.27% for the one year period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned -36.99% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the -38.76% return of the average fund in the Lipper Large-Cap Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as the widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These included the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a potential U.S. recession, equity investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity securities broadly.
Large (-37%), mid (-36%), and small (-34%) cap stocks declined in unison during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 , S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. Growth (-38%) and Value (-37%) stocks also declined, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value indices. Weakness was widespread during the period as all sectors in the S&P 500 posted large double-digit negative returns. Financials (-56%), Materials (-46%) and Information Technology (-43%) posted the largest losses. Consumer Staples (-15%) was the best relative performer given the defensive nature of the companies within the sector.
The Fund’s relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) underperformance was primarily due to weak security selection in Health Care and Consumer Discretionary, offsetting favorable stock selection in Financials and Information Technology. Sector allocation, which is a result of the bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance primarily due to our overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) allocation to the Health Care sector and underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) allocations to Financials and Materials.

The largest detractors on a relative basis were Assurant (Financials), Health Care Services stocks UnitedHealth and WellPoint, and Energy stock Exxon Mobil. Shares of insurance holding company Assurant, whose main business lines include homeowners insurance and credit protection, declined in response to the widespread credit contraction. Shares of insurers UnitedHealth Group and WellPoint fell on sector-wide concerns of increasing medical claims rates and physician cost estimates. The Fund’s underweight position in integrated oil and natural gas company Exxon Mobil hurt relative performance as the firm’s track record of high returns on capital, strong cash flow generation, and solid balance sheet positioning provided a relatively safe haven within the Energy sector. Other top detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) returns included energy-related stocks Marathon Oil and Hess.
Top contributors to relative performance during the period were Amgen (Health Care), Occidental Petroleum (Energy) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (Health Care). Leading biotechnology company Amgen reported positive, long awaited phase three data for its osteoporosis drug in development, Denosumab. The drug may be more effective than currently available products and thus far has an acceptable safety profile. Shares of the fourth-largest U.S. oil company by value, Occidental Petroleum, rose due to better-than-expected earnings driven by strong crude oil prices during the first half of 2008 before sliding sharply in the second half of the year. Shares of drug-maker Bristol-Myers Squibb rose following news that the company and Exelixis, a biotechnology company, signed an agreement to collaborate on the research and development of two novel molecules to treat cancer. Both molecules are within various stages of clinical trials. Relative performance also benefited from not owning Financials stocks AIG and Citigroup and Industrials stock General Electric. All three companies’ shares fell sharply during the period. Other top absolute contributors included Visa (Information Technology) and U.S. Steel (Materials).
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment, the Fund continues to focus on stock selection as the key driver of returns, using proprietary fundamental and quantitative research in a disciplined framework to build a portfolio of the most attractive stocks. Sector exposures are residuals from this bottom-up stock selection process and are not explicit management decisions. Based on individual stock decisions, the Fund ended the period most overweight the Health Care and Information Technology sectors and most underweight the Energy, Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund returned -32.43% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned -36.99% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -35.83% return of the average fund in the Lipper Equity Income VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as credit- related issues contributed to the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a potential U.S. recession, equity investors sought to shed risk.
Overall equity market performance was weak for the period across all market capitalizations: large cap equities (-37%), mid caps (-36%), and small caps (-34%) declined as represented by the S&P 500, S&P 400 MidCap, and Russell 2000 indices respectively. During the twelve month period all sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted sharp negative returns led lower by Financials (-56%), Materials (-46%) and Information Technology (-43%). Traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-15%) and Health Care (-23%) declined the least.

was due to both stock selection and sector allocation. Stock selection was strongest in the Information Technology, Energy and Financials sectors. An underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) allocation to Information Technology and Financials and an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) allocation to Energy contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. The Fund also benefited from a modest cash position in a declining equity market.
The Fund’s top contributors to relative performance during the period were Chevron (Energy), AstraZeneca (Health Care), and Nestle (Consumer Staples). Chevron benefited from the rally in crude oil and natural gas prices during the first part of the period, pushing the company’s shares higher. Shares of pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca gained as the market’s near-term worries over patent risk for Seroquel and Nexium eased, and cholesterol drug Crestor beat cautious expectations. Shares of Nestle performed well as the world’s largest food maker reported strong earnings driven by volume growth from emerging markets and better-than-expected margins. Retail giant Wal-Mart (Consumer Staples), specialty materials company Rohm & Haas (Materials), and insurer MetLife (Financials) were top contributors to the Fund’s absolute (i.e. total return) performance.
Top detractors from relative performance were Johnson & Johnson (Health Care), UBS (Financials), and Deere & Company (Industrials). Johnson & Johnson, a medical device, consumer product, and pharmaceutical company, performed relatively well during the period due to its diversified business model. The Fund did not hold shares in the company, which hurt relative performance. Diversified financials firm UBS was hurt by the credit and liquidity crises that continue to impact financial companies. Additionally, lawsuits in the U.S. regarding illegal sheltering of client assets from U.S. taxes have resulted in unwanted publicity for their U.S. wealth management business. Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment company, moved lower on soft commodity prices, concerns about the fiscal health of farmers around the globe, and on fears that its captive finance company would have problems funding itself. Bank of America (Financials) and General Electric (Industrials) were top detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance.
What is the outlook?
Liquidity constraints continued to dominate the economic landscape at the end of the year as the Federal Government was forced to undertake its largest role in the economy since the Great Depression. Despite an equity market bounce to finish the year, the economic outlook remains grim. Our investment discipline is focused on investing in areas of strong demand and avoiding areas of oversupply. In Financials, balance sheet exposures appear to be playing out. Credit supply is tight, but demand is low. We remain positive on natural gas and oil, despite their recent poor performance and have therefore maintained an overweight to the Energy sector.
At the end of the period, our largest overweights were to the Energy, Telecommunication Services, and Utilities sectors, while we were most underweight the Information Technology, Consumer Staples, and Consumer Discretionary sectors relative to the S&P 500 Index.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Equity Income HLS Fund returned -28.76% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned -36.85% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the
-35.83% return of the average fund in the Lipper Equity Income VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Liquidity constraints dominated the economic landscape over the last year, leading the Federal Government to undertake its largest role in the markets since the Great Depression. Failures and forced mergers crippled financial services companies while insurers faced new questions about the health of their business. Investors looked to shed risk at every possible opportunity, providing a headwind for equities broadly.
All ten broad economic sectors of the Fund’s Russell 1000 Value benchmark declined sharply during the year. Financials (-52%), Information Technology (-49%), and Materials (-48%) performed the worst; the relative winners in this environment were less economically-sensitive areas like Consumer Staples (-17%), Health Care (-20%), and Utilities (-24%). Small cap, mid cap and large cap stocks all declined during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 -34%, S&P 400 MidCap -36% and S&P 500 -37% indices, respectively. Value and growth stocks performed equally poorly: the Russell 1000 Value’s -37% return was marginally better than the Russell 1000 Growth’s -38% loss.
The primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) to the benchmark was favorable stock selection, as Fund results exceeded those of the benchmark in nine of ten economic sectors. Selection was most additive within Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary. In addition, allocation among sectors, which is driven by bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) fundamental research, helped performance, particularly the Fund’s overweight (i.e. the Fund’s

sector position was greater than the benchmark position) positions in Consumer Staples and Utilities and underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position in Financials.
Among the top contributors to benchmark-relative returns were our positions in Abbott Laboratories (Health Care), ACE (Financials), and Waste Management (Industrials). Shares of Abbott Labs rose on robust sales of the company’s blockbuster arthritis drug Humira, as well as stronger sales in the company’s stents and other heart-related devices. ACE’s stock benefited from investor preference for companies with stable balance sheets and solid free cash flow, as well as the perception that the company would gain market share from beleaguered AIG, one of the world’s largest insurance firms. Waste Management saw its shares gain on strong quarterly earnings results. Relative performance also benefited from stocks we avoided or were underweight. We did not hold American International Group (Financials), whose shares declined as liquidity constraints and credit rating downgrades forced the Federal Reserve to undertake the largest bailout of a private company in the country’s history. We had an underweight exposure to Citigroup (Financials), which saw its shares fall as investors questioned the firm’s balance sheet exposures and ability to weather the credit crisis. Top contributors to absolute (i.e. total return) returns during the year included Merck (Health Care), Occidental Petroleum (Energy), and General Mills (Consumer Staples).
Top detractors from benchmark-relative returns were Johnson & Johnson (Health Care), Procter & Gamble (Consumer Staples) and Amgen (Health Care). All three performed relatively well during the period; however, we chose not to own them in favor of companies which we believed had better fundamentals. Other top detractors from relative returns included Wells Fargo (Financials), Lloyds (Financials), and UBS (Financials). We were underweight Wells Fargo earlier in the year when its share price performance was relatively strong, hurting relative results. We have since increased our exposure to the company. Shares of Lloyds were weak due to concerns that the slowing UK economy would result in higher credit losses, while UBS’ stock declined due to the company’s mortgage-related securities exposure, which was much higher than expected. The top three detractors from absolute performance were Bank of America (Financials), General Electric (Industrials), and Conoco Phillips (Energy).
What is the outlook?
In the latter part of the year, credit market and banking concerns led to further economic distress in the industrial and commercial sectors. This distress was reflected in the market’s slide during the fourth quarter as investors grew more uncertain about the depth and duration of the downturn. Central banks and governments are throwing every relief tool into the mix. These actions are likely to have a beneficial effect over the short term, but their long-term impact is still unknown.
We believe that equity markets incorporated a deep recession into valuations during the fourth quarter. Prices and valuations consequently began to approach attractive levels, even given a continuing decline in the economy. Accordingly, we reduced holdings in some of the more defensive names, such as Utilities, Health Care, and Consumer Staples stocks, while we increased positions in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology.
*As disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus, as of July 1, 2008, John R. Ryan is no longer involved in the management of the Fund. Mr. Reckmeyer, Ms. Grimes, and Mr. Link have succeeded Mr. Ryan in the management of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Fundamental Growth HLS Fund returned -41.25% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned -38.44% and the S&P 500 Index, which returned -36.99% for the same period. The Fund performed in line with the -41.68% return of the average fund in the Lipper Large Cap Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as the widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These included the near collapse of large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a global recession, equity investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity securities broadly.
Small cap (-34%), mid cap (-36%), and large cap stocks (-37%) declined in unison during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P 400 MidCap, and S&P 500 indices, respectively. Value (-37%) and Growth (-38%) stocks performed similarly during the period, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value and Russell 1000 Growth indices. There were no safe havens, as all ten sectors within the Russell 1000 Growth Index posted negative returns. Financials (-53%), Energy (-50%), and Materials (-46%) declined the most, while traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-16%) and Health Care (-25%) declined the least.
The Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark during the period primarily due to weak stock selection. Weak stock

selection in Materials, Industrials, and Financials was only partially offset by strong stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Utilities, and Energy sectors. An underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) in Consumer Staples also detracted from benchmark-relative returns.
Top detractors from relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance included Freeport-McMoRan (Materials), Hercules Offshore (Energy), and NII Holdings (Telecommunication). Shares of Louisiana-based copper and gold mining company Freeport-McMoRan fell due to slowing growth in emerging markets and falling metal prices. Hercules, a provider of shallow-water drilling and marine services to the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry, saw its shares fall after the company reported second quarter earnings that were weaker than expected. Earnings were hurt by a steep escalation in costs and expenses. Shares of wireless communication services provider NII Holdings fell amid concerns about the negative effects of a global economic slowdown. Corning (Information Technology) and Microsoft (Information Technology) also detracted from the Fund’s absolute (i.e. total return) performance.
The three largest contributors to relative performance were Amgen (Health Care), AstraZeneca (Health Care), and Accenture (Information Technology). Shares of leading biotechnology company Amgen outperformed after the company announced better than expected quarterly results and raised its guidance for fiscal year 2008 revenue and earnings. The company also reported positive, long awaited Phase 3 data for its osteoporosis drug in development, Denosumab. Pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca’s shares rose as investors’ near-term concerns over patent risk for Seroquel and Nexium eased and Crestor beat cautious expectations. Accenture’s shares outperformed over the period as the resiliency of its business model during this economic downturn allowed it to post solid results and future guidance. Holdings in leading biotechnology company Genentech (Health Care) and McDonald’s (Consumer Discretionary) were also among top contributors to absolute performance.
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year, and particularly in recent months, on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment we continue to focus our efforts on stock-by-stock fundamental research to construct a diversified portfolio of high-quality growth companies with attractive valuations. As a result of this bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) process, the Fund ended the period most overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) the Health Care sector, where we are finding attractive growth opportunities. We were also overweight the Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, and Energy sectors. At the end of the period, the Fund was most underweight the Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Utilities sectors relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Global Advisers HLS Fund returned -32.50% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, versus the returns of -40.90 for the MSCI World Growth Index and 5.56% for the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index USD Hedged. The Fund underperformed the -26.52% return of the average fund in the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Global equity and fixed income markets were down for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, which was an extraordinary year in financial markets as nearly every asset class recorded significant price declines. Global equity markets suffered historic declines as the worldwide credit crisis persisted and deteriorating economic data pointed toward a global recession that may be deeper and more protracted than previously expected. Many investors responded to the financial crisis by shedding risk

broadly, increasing exposure to cash, and selling equities with little regard for the quality or valuation of their holdings. The MSCI World Growth Index returned -40.9% over the twelve months. Declines were broad-based as all ten sectors in the MSCI World Growth Index posted negative results for the twelve-month period. Financials, Energy, and Materials fell the most during the period.
Global fixed income markets were similarly fragile throughout much of 2008 as the ongoing credit crunch, a deteriorating U.S. housing market, and the onset of a global recession led lower-quality assets to underperform higher quality assets like U.S. Treasurys. As risk aversion remained elevated, investors sought to shed risk, pushing yield curves steeper and global rates lower, with Treasury yields establishing historically low levels, culminating in the periodically negative yields associated with U.S. Treasury bills. For much of the period, preservation of capital became the paramount concern and risk assets suffered, with all sectors underperforming Treasuries on a duration-equivalent basis. Buoyed by the strong performance of government debt, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index USD Hedged returned 5.56% for the period.
The Fund trailed its benchmark primarily due to weak relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns in the equity portion of the Fund. The fixed income portion also underperformed its benchmark for the period. Allocation among equities, bonds, and cash had only a minimal impact on relative performance during the period.
The underperformance of the Fund’s equities relative to the MSCI World Growth Index during the period was primarily a result of security selection. Positive stock selection in Materials was more than offset by weaker stock selection in the Financials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Sector allocation, which is a fall-out of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) security selection, also detracted from relative performance as the Fund’s underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) to Consumer Staples and overweights (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to Energy and Financials hurt benchmark-relative returns.
The top detractors from the equity portion of the Fund’s relative performance were Lehman Brothers (Financials), Electronic Arts (Information Technology), and Las Vegas Sands (Consumer Discretionary). Lehman Brothers, a U.S.-based investment bank, filed for bankruptcy in September as its exposure to mortgage-related securities caused asset write-downs and a liquidity crunch. Although we sold our holdings prior to the company’s bankruptcy due to concerns over the firm’s liquidity and solvency, the position was still a negative contributor. Video game company Electronic Arts reported an annual profit outlook that fell short of expectations as a drive to improve the quality of its products increased its costs, pushing the company’s shares lower. Shares of Las Vegas Sands, a developer and operator of hotel, gaming, and resort businesses, fell due to disappointing earnings. Beverage company Carlsberg (Consumer Discretionary) also detracted from absolute (i.e. total return) performance.
MetroPCS Communications (Telecommunications), Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), and Gilead Sciences (Health Care) were the leading contributors to benchmark-relative performance. Shares of wireless service provider MetroPCS Communications benefited from potential opportunities for growth as consumers shifted to low-cost wireless plans. Shares of the Israel-based drug manufacturer Teva rose after the company reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings driven by strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone. Biotechnology company Gilead benefited from its market-leadership position in HIV and AIDS treatments. Top absolute contributors included German insurance company Munich Re (Financials), media company Comcast (Consumer Discretionary), and telecommunications and media provider Softbank (Telecommunication Services).
The fixed income portion of the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the period. The portfolio generated positive results among its currency, yield curve and country strategies, but the results were not sufficient to offset the more significant losses generated in duration (i.e. a measure of interest rate sensitivity) and particularly, credit strategies. Overweight allocations among credit sectors, including MBS and CMBS, particularly hard-hit during the period, served as a drag on performance. Duration positions, including overweight allocations to Japanese inflation-linked debt, and positioning among corporate debt also detracted from results during the period. Currency positions were more favorable during the period as an underweight to the euro and the British pound aided results. Country and yield curve strategies were also favorable, with the latter providing a more modest lift, as positions benefited from expectations for steeper yield curves in the U.S. and Germany.
What is the outlook?
The seizing up of credit markets has resulted in the worst global slowdown since the early 1980s. Governments around the world have responded to the crisis with a myriad of rescue measures, and central banks around the world have also used monetary policy to loosen credit conditions, cutting rates aggressively in the second half of 2008. There are tentative signs that these measures are beginning to work, but it remains uncertain whether this government action will be sufficient to reignite global and domestic demand.
At the end of the period, our stock-by-stock investment process resulted in greater-than-benchmark weights in Telecommunication Services, Health Care, Financials, Energy, and Information Technology in the equity portion of the Fund. The Fund held less-than-benchmark weights in Materials, Industrials, Utilities, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples names.

In the fixed income portion of the Fund, positioning at the end of the period reflected the fact that a deep, global recession is underway and additional policy stimulus is likely as central banks and governments focus their attention on weakening growth and protecting the financial system. In the U.S., recessionary readings on growth are likely to continue as the consumer remains plagued by debt deflation. Deleveraging will provide a significant headwind and lower commodity prices will ease inflationary pressures. We will look to position U.S. duration (i.e. a measure of interest rate sensitivity) tactically with a bias toward an underweight position versus Europe. The U.S. dollar is likely to remain range-bound in the months ahead while we expect the euro to weaken versus a broad range of currencies in the months ahead. As global deleveraging continues, the currencies of economies with large external financing needs are likely to remain under pressure. As the period drew to a close, we continued to maintain a modest overweight position in corporates in order to benefit from recent spread widening (i.e., increased credit spread or yield differential between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities). As markets are fully engaged with the idea of a deep, global recession, we have focused positions on consumer noncyclicals and banking companies that are critically important to global and local economies and have good sources of funds and strong balance sheets.
From an asset allocation standpoint, the Fund ended the period with slight underweights to equities and fixed income and a slight overweight to cash.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Global Equity HLS Fund returned -37.87% for the eleven-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index, which returned -36.67% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -34.76% return of the average fund in the Lipper Global Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The period was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a positive start to the year, the global equity markets stumbled on credit-crunch related issues such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a global recession, equity investors sought to shed risk. In this environment, all sectors within the MSCI All Country World Index posted double digit declines for the eleven-month period ending December 31st. Financials (-50%), Materials (-48%), and Industrials (-39%) declined the most while traditionally defensive sectors Health Care (-17%) and Consumer Staples (-18%) declined the least.
The Fund benefited from positive sector allocation, particularly an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to Health Care and an underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) to Financials, as well as stock selection in Financials. However, these gains were more than offset by weak security selection, particularly in the Energy, Telecommunications Services, and Consumer Discretionary sectors.
The largest detractors from relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns were Smurfit-Stone (Materials), Exxon Mobil (Energy), and Vale (Materials). Paper-based packaging products manufacturer Smurfit-Stone faced headwinds as higher energy prices drove up the costs of transportation and chemicals in the first half of the year. Then liquidity concerns and product demand pushed its shares even lower. Integrated oil and natural gas company Exxon Mobil benefited from its status as a safe haven within the energy sector during the period. However, the Fund’s underweight position in

Exxon Mobil hurt relative performance during the period. Brazil-based mining company Vale’s shares fell on concerns that slowing economic growth would lead to soft demand and weaker prices for key commodities, including iron ore and nickel. Russian natural gas supplier Gazprom (Energy) and DBS Group Holdings (Financials) were among the top detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) performance.
Top contributors to relative performance during the period included Eisai (Health Care), ACE (Financials), and Barr Pharmaceuticals (Health Care). Not holding troubled global insurance and financial services company AIG (Financials) also aided relative performance during the period. Shares of Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai rose after the company posted solid earnings driven by strong global sales of the Alzheimer’s disease treatment, Aricept, and good domestic sales of ulcer treatment, Aciphex. ACE, a global property and casualty insurance company, benefited from robust earnings results, generated in part from the company’s strong balance sheet and troubles at rival AIG. Shares of specialty pharmaceutical company Barr Pharmaceuticals rose after the company received a stock and cash takeover offer from generic drug firm Teva Pharmaceutical. National City (Financials), FMC Corp (Materials), and Travelers (Financials) were top contributors to absolute performance.
What is the outlook?
As the market continues to price in a weak economic environment, equities may remain challenged and volatile. Governments and central banks have taken aggressive actions including cutting interest rates and injecting capital into institutions in order to provide stability and stimulate economic growth. Further intervention may be necessary to unclog the capital markets. We believe the recent wave of selling has created disconnects between company fundamentals and stock prices for many securities. Wide valuation spreads are creating tremendous buying opportunities for active managers. In this environment, the Fund ended the period most overweight the Health Care and Information Technology sectors and most underweight the Telecommunication Services, Consumer Discretionary, and Energy sectors. The Fund’s largest absolute positions were in the Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund returned -52.46% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World Growth Index, which returned -40.90% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -43.56% return of the average fund in the Lipper Global Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Global equity markets fell during the period amid ongoing turmoil in global credit markets and accelerating deterioration in the housing, employment, and credit markets in the U.S., driving slower global economic growth. In this environment, the MSCI World Growth Index
(-40.9%) modestly outperformed the MSCI World Value Index (-39.8%). Returns within the MSCI World Growth Index were significantly negative across all sectors. Financials (-53.3%), Energy (-53.0%), and Materials (-51.3%) fell the most, while traditionally defensive sectors like Health Care (-23.8%) and Consumer Staples (-23.5%) declined the least.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the MSCI World Growth Index was primarily driven by security selection. Selection was weakest in the Financials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. This was partially offset by positive stock selection in Materials and Energy. Sector allocation, which is a residual of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) security selection, also detracted from relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance. The Fund’s underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) to Consumer Staples and overweights (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to Energy and Financials hurt benchmark-relative returns.
The top detractors from the Fund’s relative performance were Lehman Brothers (Financials), Electronic Arts (Information Technology), and Las Vegas Sands (Consumer Discretionary).

bankruptcy due to concerns over the firm’s liquidity and solvency, the position was still a negative contributor. Video game company Electronic Arts reported an annual profit outlook that fell short of expectations as a drive to improve the quality of its products increased its costs, pushing the company’s shares lower. Shares of Las Vegas Sands, a developer and operator of hotel, gaming, and resort businesses, fell due to disappointing earnings. Other significant detractors from relative and absolute (i.e. total return) returns included beverage company Carlsberg (Consumer Staples) and solar products producer SunPower (Industrials).
MetroPCS Communications (Telecommunication Services), Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), and Gilead Sciences (Health Care) were the leading contributors to benchmark-relative performance. Shares of wireless service provider MetroPCS Communications benefited from potential opportunities for growth as consumers shift to low-cost wireless plans. Shares of the Israel-based drug manufacturer Teva rose after the company reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings driven by strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone.

Portfolio construction is a bottom-up process based on intensive company research. Allocations among sectors are the result of individual stock decisions. At the end of the period, our stock-by-stock investment process resulted in greater-than-benchmark weights in Telecommunication Services, Health Care, Financials, Energy, Information Technology, and Industrials. The Fund held less-than-benchmark weights in Materials, Utilities, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples names. Exposure to Health Care increased during the year as we found companies we believe offer attractive valuations and that should perform relatively well in a difficult economic environment. Top positions at the end of December included pharmaceutical company Wyeth and Israeli generic drug company Teva Pharmaceuticals.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Global Health HLS Fund returned -25.56% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P North American Health Care Sector Index, which returned -23.58% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -25.05% return of the average fund in the Lipper Health and Biotechnology VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
It has been a difficult environment for all investment styles over the last twelve months, and the Health Care sector has certainly not been spared. Health Care stocks, as measured by the S&P North American Health Care Index, returned -24% and proved to be somewhat defensive during the period, outperforming the broader U.S. market, which returned -37%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, and the world market return of -40%, as measured by the MSCI World Index. Within the S&P North American Health Care Index, eight out of nine sub-sectors posted negative returns. Life Sciences Tools & Services (-45%), Health Care Providers & Services (-44%), and Health Care Equipment & Supplies (-31%) declined the most. Biotechnology stocks (+8%) performed well relative to the other sub-sectors.

The Fund underperformed versus its benchmark primarily due to weak stock selection in the Biotechnology and Health Care Providers & Services sub-sectors. Partially offsetting this was favorable stock selection in Pharmaceuticals, and an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) allocation to the Biotechnology sub-sector.
Elan, Coventry Health Care, and Human Genome Science were among the leading detractors from performance on a relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) basis. Shares of neuroscience-based biotechnology firm Elan declined on disappointing developments concerning the firm’s experimental Alzheimer’s disease drug Bapineuzumab and multiple-sclerosis drug Tysabri. Shares of Coventry, a diversified managed healthcare company, fell after the company reported lower profits and reduced its 2008 guidance due to higher Medicare and Commercial medical loss ratios. Shares of biotechnology company Human Genome Science fell after it sharply lowered its fiscal 2008 revenue guidance due to delayed shipments of anthrax treatment ABthrax. The Fund’s relative performance was also hurt by not owning health products maker Johnson & Johnson whose stock performed well as its diversified revenue stream was highly valued in the current market environment. Medical device and technology company Medtronic and integrated managed care organization Health Net were top detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) performance.
Security selection was particularly strong in Pharmaceutical stocks. Shionogi, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, and Eisai were among the top contributors to relative performance during the period. Shionogi, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, saw its shares rise after reporting steady earnings growth driven by sales of cholesterol lowering drug Crestor and allergy drug Claritin. Shares of U.S.-based biotech company Millennium Pharmaceuticals rose on news of an acquisition of the company by Japan’s biggest drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceutical. Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai’s shares rose after the company posted solid earnings driven by strong global sales of Alzheimer’s disease treatment Aricept and solid domestic sales of ulcer treatment Aciphex. Not owning pharmaceutical firm Merck, whose shares fell significantly after bad news about its cholesterol drug Vytorin, also helped relative performance. Among other top contributors to absolute performance was biopharmaceutical company Genentech.
What is the outlook?
Within the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology sub-sectors we may be entering a period where strong performance is not as concentrated in one or two areas, but more broadly diverse. Given their extended period of underperformance, major pharmaceuticals may begin to turn, as new product pipelines provide upside potential long-term. Japanese companies remain attractive given their interesting pipelines, strong balance sheets, and the leverage of their pipelines relative to their modest market capitalizations. Challenges in 2009 will include patent expiration worries for 2011-2013, health care reform rhetoric with a new administration in office, cost containment across the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and a continued conservative FDA. In this environment we strive to take advantage of market opportunities to upgrade the Fund with those stocks that have the best ratio of revenue growth relative to market capitalization, adding good companies on price weakness and trimming into strength.
Unlike during previous recessions, the Health Care Providers & Services sub-sector experienced significant volatility during 2008. With consumers shouldering a greater share of health care costs, health care has become less defensive compared to prior cycles. Looking out to 2009 and beyond, it appears that the country and, more importantly, Washington, are more predisposed for health care reform than we have seen in some time. Nonetheless, due to considerable political and economic hurdles, we continue to believe that health care reform will be evolutionary — not revolutionary — and will likely rely on a mix of public and private funding.
We believe that as the new Administration and Congress get back to business in 2009, the focus of health care reform will shift from “access” to “affordable access.” Given the U.S. government’s significant debt burden, we believe that health care reform will entail increasingly difficult decisions. The new health care environment will be one in which financial incentives between payers, providers and consumers will have to be better aligned. Value-based reimbursement and pay-for-performance will become increasingly prevalent. In our opinion, the government will need to access the capabilities and skill sets of the private sector to effect this type of change. During the past year, we took advantage of the market’s unprecedented volatility to initiate or add to existing positions in stocks that are both attractively valued and poised to thrive under this new model.
Within the Health Care Equipment & Supplies sub-sector, most stocks have become attractively valued so we continue to look for companies with underappreciated franchises or promising R&D projects. There are fewer relatively large merger & acquisition targets of opportunity versus prior years, but we expect to see some additional consolidation. It remains our view that cardiovascular disease represents one of the strongest prospects for growth.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Growth HLS Fund returned -41.79% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008 underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned -38.44% for the same period. The Fund’s performance was in line with the -41.68% return of the average fund in the Large-Cap Growth Funds VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as the widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These included the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. Equity investors sought to shed risk in response to increasing concerns about the financial system and the declared U.S. recession, punishing equity securities broadly.
Large (-37%), mid (-36%), and small (-34%) cap stocks declined by similar levels during the period, as measured by the S&P 500, S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. The same was true for Growth (-38%) and Value (-37%) stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value indices. All ten sectors within the Russell 1000 Growth Index posted sharp negative returns during the period, led by Financials (-53%), Energy (-50%) and Materials (-46%). Traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-16%) and Health Care (-25%) declined the least.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its benchmark was driven by both stock selection and sector positioning, which is a fallout of the bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process. Strong security selection in Information Technology and Telecommunication Services was more than offset by weaker results in Health Care, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary. In addition, relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns were hurt by our below-benchmark weight in Consumer Staples and above-benchmark weight in Information Technology. The Fund

benefited from a modest cash position, which helped relative performance in a downward-trending market.
Focus Media (Consumer Discretionary), MF Global (Financials) and Wal-Mart Stores (Consumer Staples) were the top detractors from relative performance during the period. Shares of Chinese digital advertising and media company Focus Media trended lower due to concerns about management changes, accounting issues, and mobile spamming. Shares of Bermuda-based independent derivatives broker MF Global fell sharply after a rogue trader within the firm caused significant losses by unauthorized trading in wheat futures contracts. Not owning the world’s largest retailer Wal-Mart, which held up well in a softening retail environment, hurt benchmark-relative performance. Several Information Technology firms were among the top detractors from the Fund’s absolute (i.e. total return) returns, including software giant Microsoft, consumer electronics company Apple, and internet-search firm Google.
Top contributors to benchmark-relative returns were Abbott Laboratories (Health Care), Apollo Group (Consumer Discretionary), and Teva Pharmaceutical (Health Care). Shares of Abbott Laboratories, a drug and medical device company, continued to benefit from the strong growth of Humira, a drug for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Shares of Apollo Group, a private education provider, benefited from strong industry fundamentals as the softer economy aided enrollment growth and increases in federal loan limits enhanced pricing power. Israel-based generic drug manufacturer Teva Pharmaceutical saw its shares rise after the company reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings driven by strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone. Top contributors to the Fund’s absolute returns included managed care provider UnitedHealth (Health Care) and steel producer U.S. Steel (Materials).
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment we continue to focus our efforts on stock-by-stock fundamental research, picking one stock at a time based upon the attractiveness of each company’s valuation and fundamentals. As a result of this bottom up stock selection, our largest exposures relative to the benchmark at the end of the period were in Information Technology, Financials, and Industrials. At the end of the period, we were most underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) the Consumer Staples, Materials, and Utilities sectors.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund returned -45.66% for the one year period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which returned -38.44% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -42.50% return of the average fund in the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a positive start to the year, the global equity markets stumbled on credit crunch related issues such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a potential U.S. recession, equity investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity securities broadly.
Large (-37%), mid (-36%), and small (-34%) cap stocks declined in unison during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 , S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. Both Growth (-38%) and Value (-37%) stocks also declined, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value indices. Within the Russell 3000 Growth Index, all sectors posted sharp negative returns led by Financials (-51%), Energy (-50%), and Materials (-47%). The sectors that declined the least
         
  26  

 


Table of Contents

 
in this environment were Consumer Staples (-16%) and Health Care (-26%).
The Fund underperformed its benchmark due to weak security selection, particularly in the Health Care, Consumer Staples, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Sector weight positioning, the result of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection decisions, had a negative impact on benchmark-relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance primarily due to an underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position in Consumer Staples, which outperformed on a relative basis.
The top detractors from benchmark-relative returns were Focus Media (Consumer Discretionary), SunTech Power (Industrials) and SunPower (Industrials). We did not own Wal-Mart Stores (Consumer Staples) which also detracted from relative returns given the stock’s strong performance during the period. Shares of China-based digital advertising company Focus Media trended lower due to concerns about management changes, accounting practices, and mobile spamming. Shares in solar energy manufacturer SunTech Power declined due to lower demand for solar equipment, high inventory levels and the expected decline in ASP (average selling price) of its Photovoltaic (PV) products due to devaluation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. Solar cell and panel maker SunPower’s shares also declined due to management’s guidance for lower profits due to currency weakness. Other top detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) returns included two Information Technology stocks, video game maker Electronic Arts and Blackberry device manufacturer Research In Motion.
Top contributors to relative returns included Cephalon (Health Care), Shionogi (Health Care) and Aecom Technology (Industrials). Biotechnology stock Cephalon delivered better-than-expected earnings on strength in the company’s cancer treatment and nervous system drug businesses. Japanese pharmaceutical company Shionogi’s shares increased due to better-than-expected sales of Crestor, a cholesterol-lowering drug marketed by AstraZeneca. Shares of Aecom Technology, a global provider of professional technical and management support services, increased during the period due to strong earnings and backlog gains supported by solid growth across segments and geographies. Other top contributors to absolute returns included European airline company Ryanair (Industrials) and consumer electronics retailer Best Buy (Consumer Discretionary).
What is the outlook?
An uncertain global economic outlook together with unpredictable and volatile equity markets have inflicted wounds that will take time to heal. Leverage and illiquidity are exacerbating the situation, creating in many cases what we see as a disconnect between fundamentals and valuation. As always, we continue to focus our research efforts on identifying stocks of companies whose future growth is under-priced in our opinion. At the end of the period, our bottom-up decisions resulted in overweights (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) in Financials, Industrials and Health Care and underweights in Consumer Staples, Information Technology and Energy relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford High Yield HLS Fund returned -25.23% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the Barclays Capital High Yield Corporate Index, which returned -26.16% for the same period, and outperforming the -26.93% return of the average fund in the Lipper High Current Yield VP-UF Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The main factor influencing the Fund’s relative performance (i.e., performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) during the year was security selection. Of particular importance was the Fund’s positioning within the Media Non-Cable Industry, as the Fund was generally overweight (i.e., the Fund’s position was greater than the benchmark position) to the sector, but underweight (i.e., the Fund’s position was less than the benchmark position) to a number of the large Leveraged Buyout-financed deals such as Univision and Tribune which looked certain to collapse. Another important positive consideration was the Fund’s overweight to the Cable Television sector (and security selection within the sector), which has many defensive attributes in an economic downturn. Also notable for its favorable impact on the Fund’s performance was security selection within the Banking sector, as the Fund steered clear of credits such as Washington Mutual, which migrated down to the high yield ratings category. Rather, the Fund’s banking exposure was limited to firms that we viewed as clear survivors, such as JP Morgan and Bank of America. While these holdings were outside of the Index, we viewed them as offering attractive risk/return potential. The Fund’s relative underweight to the Technology sector was also a detractor to performance. Throughout this period of extreme volatility the Fund maintained an allocation to cash in order to ensure that redemptions could be met with a minimum of disruption to the Fund, while also providing a cash-reserve for opportunities that presented themselves during the year.

What is the outlook?
Throughout the year the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”) reacted with bold initiatives to address the seizure that has occurred within the credit markets. As a necessary step towards recovery, capital markets are adjusting to an environment of deleveraging as they continue efforts to reduce risk. This activity, coupled with the current economic backdrop, has caused risk premiums (i.e., increased credit spread or yield differential between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities) to widen to levels greater than the past two periods of High Yield sell-off. In reaction to speculation that default activity will continue to rise into the coming year, the market has priced in an annualized default rate that is in excess of previous cyclical peaks.
With the markets experiencing indiscriminate selling, the Fund is being very selective as to its outlook on bond issues that are believed to outperform. The current volatility in the capital markets is creating an opportunity for value among the credits that have an ability to withstand the turbulence. Both the fixed-income and equity markets are rediscovering a lesson learned in the early part of this decade, one that illustrates the consequence of suspected bankruptcy and its effect on a stock’s perceived value. With high expectations for prudent management decisions coming from both the equity and credit markets, companies will have to show diligence in order to not be perceived as overly challenged in leverage and liquidity practices. Given the present market conditions, not every company will successfully navigate through the volatility, and therefore we believe defaults will continue to rise from current levels. However, with spreads and yields experiencing at or near record levels across many segments of the market, there are a number of attractive opportunities for the discriminating investor.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Index HLS Fund returned -37.11% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned –36.99% for the same period, and outperforming the -37.20% return of the average fund in the Lipper S&P500 Index Objective VP-UF Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Global economic and financial market crises during the year drove the U.S. equity markets to their worst performance since the Great Depression. All 10 sectors within the Index, as defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), had double-digit negative returns. Financial stocks experienced the highest underperformance, dropping more than half for the year, brought on by the collapse of several major financial institutions that included mortgage banks, insurance companies and brokerage firms. The Materials and Information Technology sectors were the second and third highest contributors to underperformance. The best performing sector was Consumer Staples.
Looking at individual stocks within the benchmark, most of the Index constituents produced negative returns throughout the year. Many of the best and worst performers did not spend the entire calendar year as constituents of the Index. The top three performers were Wrigley, the candy maker, Family Dollar Stores, a discount retailer, and Anheuser Busch, before being acquired by InBev. Financial stocks that contributed the most to underperformance relative to the Index were eventually dropped as Index constituents. This list included Washington Mutual, Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
What is the outlook?
The overall market environment looks challenging for 2009. The equity markets may not have yet fully priced in the possibility of further write-downs within the Banking sector or other negative economic headlines (i.e., further trouble within the housing market and continued severity of the credit crunch). Thus, any further declines may serve to retest the markets’ lows. Many investors will be focused on forthcoming decisions by the new Obama administration with regards to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other stimulus package details. Other factors that may impact investor sentiment include the impact of the recent interest rate cuts, the price of oil, the value of the U.S.

dollar, and the unemployment level in the United States. As the main driver of the current downturn, global housing markets will continue to be scrutinized by investors seeking the beginning of recovery. Until many of these factors stabilize, most investors will likely remain defensive, expecting a continuation of market volatility.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford International Growth HLS Fund returned -56.78% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned -42.46% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -46.61% return of the average fund in the Lipper International Growth VP-UF Multi-Cap Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Non-U.S. equity markets fell during the period amid ongoing turmoil in global credit markets and accelerating deterioration in the housing and employment markets in the U.S., driving slower global economic growth. Growth stocks (-42.5%) slightly outperformed Value stocks (-43.7%), as measured by the MSCI EAFE Growth and the MSCI EAFE Value indices, respectively. Within the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, all sectors declined sharply. Materials (-54.9%), Financials (-54.6%), and Energy (-52.5%) fell the most during the period, while Health Care (-20.0%), Telecommunication Services (-29.1%), and Consumer Staples (-31.2%) declined the least.
The Fund’s underperformance relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) to the MSCI EAFE Growth Index was a result of weak security selection. Stock selection was weakest in Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials. Sector positioning, a residual of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection, contributed positively to benchmark-relative results during the period primarily due to the Fund’s underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) exposure to Materials and Energy. The Fund also benefited from a moderate cash position, which helped relative performance in a downward-trending market.
Arcandor (Consumer Discretionary), Suntech Power (Industrials), and UBS (Financials) detracted most from relative performance. Shares of Arcandor, Germany’s largest department store chain, moved lower amid poor domestic consumer sentiment. Shares of China-based solar energy company Suntech Power fell sharply amid volatile commodity prices, tightening credit markets, and an anticipated excess supply of solar panels. Shares of Switzerland-based financial services provider UBS fell sharply due to a larger-than-expected exposure to subprime loans, which resulted in a dilutive capital

raise. Other detractors from the Fund’s absolute (i.e. total return) performance were Denmark-based wind power equipment and services company Vestas Wind Systems (Industrials) and British private equity firm 3i Group (Financials).
Top contributors to the Fund’s relative performance were K&S (Materials), Teva Pharmaceutical (Health Care), and Reckitt Benckiser (Consumer Staples). Shares of K&S, a German chemical company and the European leader in potash products, moved higher during the period in which we held the shares after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and issued optimistic earnings guidance for 2008. K&S also benefited from the global boom in agricultural products in the first half of the year. Israel-based drug manufacturer Teva reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings driven by strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis drug, Copaxone, pushing its shares higher. Shares of British household and personal care products company Reckitt Benckiser rose after the company beat earnings expectations and announced a greater-than-expected dividend increase. Telecommunications and media provider Softbank (Telecommunication Services) and German insurance company Munich Re (Financials) also contributed positively to the Fund’s absolute performance.
What is the outlook?
We select stocks individually based on their merits. During the period we increased our exposure to Telecommunications Services and Health Care, traditionally defensive sectors, as we found investment opportunities that we believe are less economically sensitive and should perform relatively well in a difficult economic environment. As a result, Health Care was the Fund’s largest absolute weight and Telecommunications Services was the largest overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) exposure relative to the benchmark at the end of the period. The Fund held less-than-benchmark weights in the Utilities, Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials sectors.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA of the Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund returned -42.25% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI AC (All Country) World Free ex U.S. Index, which returned -45.24% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -42.59% return of the average fund in the Lipper International Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
2008 was one of the most volatile years in recent history. Markets fell to open the year and, despite a late-Spring rally, fell sharply in the second half as global economic news worsened. Events such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual all highlighted the widespread destruction being wrought by a sudden withdrawal of credit from the global financial system. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. Equity investors reacted to these events by shedding risk, leading to large declines in every sector of the MSCI All Country World Free ex—U.S. Index. The hardest hit areas were Financials (-54%), Materials (-53%), and Industrials (-47%). Less economically-sensitive areas like Health Care (-19%), Utilities (-30%), and Consumer Staples (-31%) declined the least.
The Fund’s outperformance versus its benchmark was due to favorable allocation among sectors, a result of the bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process, as well as favorable stock selection in Financials. Relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance benefited from overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) positions in Health Care and Consumer Staples and underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) positions in Materials and Financials. This more than offset weak stock selection in several sectors, particularly Energy, Utilities, and Materials.

Table of Contents

 
Top contributors to relative performance during the period included Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), Synthes (Health Care), and Nestle (Consumer Staples). Shares of Teva, the world’s largest generic pharmaceutical company, rose after the company raised its fiscal year 2008 earnings per share outlook above consensus estimates. Synthes, a Swiss medical device company, published very solid first-half results that were operationally strong, pushing its shares higher. Nestle is the world’s largest food maker. The company reported strong earnings driven by volume growth from emerging markets and successful execution, boosting its share price. Stocks that contributed most to absolute (i.e. total return) returns were German reinsurance company Munich Re (Financials), and Japanese communications firms Softbank (Telecommunication Services) and Nippon Telephone & Telegraph (Telecommunication Services).
The largest detractors from relative returns were Xstrata (Materials), Talisman Energy (Energy), and Gazprom (Energy). Xstrata is a Swiss-based diversified mining group. Shares in the company fell amid weakening commodity prices and depressed sentiment. Talisman Energy, a Canadian exploration and production company, saw its shares pressured as oil prices spiraled lower. Russian gas company Gazprom’s stock price fell with the continued decline in commodity prices and was further impacted by the broad downturn in Russian equities as investors sought to liquidate risky assets. Other detractors from absolute returns included Swiss bank UBS (Financials) and Japanese finance company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (Financials).
What is the outlook?
2008 was an extraordinary year in financial markets as nearly every asset class recorded significant price declines. Deleveraging across the financial sector accelerated into the fourth quarter, limiting the availability of credit to even the most secure corporate borrowers and exacerbating a slowdown across the real economy. We expect that 2009 will continue to be difficult as we begin to see the impact of the deterioration of the real economy, leading to higher unemployment and increased losses on consumer credit.
At year-end we maintained a defensive posture with our largest overweight positions in Health Care, Telecom Services and Consumer Staples. Looking into 2009, we estimate the cyclical downturn may last several quarters, leading us to favor companies with strong cash flow generation, healthy balance sheets, and a diversified client base.
We ended the period most underweight Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials. In Financials, consolidation and government intervention favor good management in companies with strong balance sheets that can gain share and improve returns over time, effectively becoming national champions. We continue to look for signals that the market is stabilizing, focusing on four key areas: government intervention, bank recapitalization, credit spread reduction, and a return of liquidity to the financial system.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford International Small Company HLS Fund returned -42.44% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P/Citigroup Extended Market Euro-Pacific Index, which returned
-46.62% for the same period. The Fund’s return was in line with the -42.59% return of the average fund in the Lipper International Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Global equity markets fell sharply during the year amid a significant deterioration in both credit market conditions and investor confidence. Forced deleveraging by financial institutions triggered an unprecedented set of bank failures and mergers, significantly reshaping the global financial map. Impaired access to capital has now begun impacting the real economy, reducing expectations for global growth and forcing energy and commodity prices sharply lower. Recent economic data provided little encouragement to investors, as housing, employment, and manufacturing metrics all trended downward. Central banks acted aggressively to soften an economic slowdown, with the U.S. Federal Reserve lowering the federal funds rate and the U.S. government introducing multiple programs aimed at improving liquidity within financial markets. In response to increasing concerns over a shaky financial system and a likely global recession, equity investors across regions sought to shed risk. All ten sectors in the S&P/Citigroup Extended Market Euro-Pacific Index fell significantly during the period, led lower by Energy (-58%), Consumer Discretionary (-52%), Industrials (-49%), and Financials (-49%). Results were less negative in traditionally defensive sectors such as Consumer Staples (-28%), Utilities (-29%), and Health Care (-33%).
The Fund outperformed its benchmark due to both stock selection and allocation among sectors, which is a result of our bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process. Stock selection was strongest in Health Care, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary. This was partially offset by weaker selection in the Industrials, Utilities,
         
  36

and Consumer Staples sectors. Relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance benefited from an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) position in the relatively strong Health Care sector and an underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position in lagging Materials stocks.
Among the top contributors to relative and absolute (i.e. total return) returns were Jupiter Telecommunications (Consumer Discretionary), Shionogi (Health Care), and OBIC Business Consulting (Information Technology). Jupiter Telecommunications, a Japanese cable company, benefited from the stability of its business model and its focus on the relatively insulated domestic Japanese market. Japanese pharmaceutical company Shionogi’s stock rose on the release of positive clinical results for its cholesterol lowering drug, Crestor. Shares of OBIC, a leading provider of accounting software to small and middle market companies in Japan, rose after the company announced a share repurchase program. Top absolute contributors also included Japanese medical equipment and consumer products company Kobayashi Pharmaceutical.
The largest detractors from relative and absolute performance during the period were Dufry Group (Consumer Discretionary), Cape PLC (Industrials), and Rhodia (Materials). Shares of Dufry, a global operator of duty-free shops, fell on concerns that a global economic slowdown would change the trajectory of its earnings growth. Cape PLC, a British oil and energy services group, was negatively impacted by concerns relating to the availability of credit for the company and potential slowing demand amid decelerating global growth. French specialty chemicals company Rhodia saw its shares decline on concerns about rising input costs as energy prices increased earlier in the year.
What is the outlook?
We select stocks in the Fund one at a time based on their individual merits. At the end of the period we were most overweight Health Care and Energy stocks and most underweight Financials and Consumer Discretionary. Within Health Care, we are focused on the high margin and recurring revenue potential of equipment & service companies, as well as providers of supplies and consumables, and niche, private sector hospital providers. Our Energy overweight is based on the belief that the sector is well positioned to outperform due to compelling supply and demand fundamentals. We continue to be overweight commercial services companies where margins are steady, revenue predictable and profits recurring. We continue to be underweight Financials, where we have avoided exposure to European banks, and Consumer Discretionary stocks, as the headwinds of a slowing global economy are likely to weigh on consumer spending.
On a regional basis, our greatest underweight position at the end of the period was in Europe, mostly due to less-than-benchmark exposures to Spain, the UK, and Finland, as valuations no longer appear compelling relative to the risk/reward profile of many companies in these regions. This was offset by overweight positions in Japan and select Emerging Markets.

Managing Director
How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Large Cap Growth HLS Fund returned -42.96% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned -38.44% for the same period and underperforming the return of the average fund in the Lipper Large-Cap Growth VP-UF Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, which returned -41.68%.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Our team invests in companies that we believe have compelling stock characteristics versus the Index. The team’s systematic approach weighs over fifty fundamental characteristics across four broad categories, including business behavior, management behavior, valuation and investor behavior. This analysis is used to build a broadly diversified portfolio of companies, with sector weightings determined largely by the attractiveness of specific stocks within the Fund’s investment universe, an approach which we believe will yield attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to the Index over the long-term.
The Fund’s underperformance for the one-year period relative to the Index (i.e., performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) was primarily driven by poor security selection in the Health Care, Information Technology, and Energy sectors. However, the Fund did benefit from favorable security selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Utilities and Telecommunications sectors.
Among the largest detractors from returns was an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s position was greater than the benchmark position) in Waddell & Reed Financials Inc. (Financials) and CF Industries Holdings Inc. (Materials) Although missing analyst expectations, Waddell & Reed’s net income increased during the 3rd quarter compared to the same period a year ago. Despite this, the stock continued to underperform along with the rest of the Financial sector. Shares of CF Industries, a fertilizer manufacturer and distributor, faced challenges due to price weakness in nitrogen and phosphate components.
Among the largest contributors to returns were Schlumberger Ltd. (Energy) and American Express Co. (Financials). While both securities experienced negative total returns, the Fund’s underweight position (i.e. the Fund’s position was less than the
         
  38  

 


Table of Contents

 
benchmark position) to these securities provided a positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance. The shares of Schlumberger, an oilfield services company, declined along with the rest of the Energy sector as the economic slowdown had a pronounced impact on oil prices. Despite gaining preliminary approval to access over $3 billion of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds, as well as initiating corporate restructuring, shares of American Express Co. fell nearly two-thirds, placing it among the worst declines in the Financial sector.
At the end of the period, the Fund’s top constituents included Microsoft, Inc. and Watson Pharmaceuticals. When evaluating a stock’s attractiveness, we consider four categories of characteristics: business behavior, management behavior, valuation, and investor behavior. Microsoft is a top holding primarily due to a combination of good business performance represented by strong returns on invested capital and positive investor sentiment. Similarly, Watson Pharmaceuticals is a top holding primarily due to a combination of good management behavior exhibited by favorable earnings management, positive investor behavior represented by analyst recommendations, and favorable overall valuation.
What is the outlook?
The overall market environment looks challenging for 2009. The equity markets may not have yet fully priced in the possibility of further write-downs within the Banking sector or other negative economic headlines (i.e., further trouble within the housing market and continued severity of the credit crunch). Thus, any further declines may serve to retest the markets’ lows. Many investors will be focused on forthcoming decisions by the new Obama administration with regards to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other stimulus package details. Other factors that may exert influence upon investor sentiment include the impact of the recent interest rate cuts, the price of oil, the value of the U.S. dollar, and the unemployment level in the United States. As the main driver of the current downturn, global housing markets will continue to be scrutinized by investors seeking the beginning of a recovery. Until many of these factors stabilize, most investors will likely remain defensive, expecting a continuation of market volatility. However, we believe this stressful environment, characterized by high price-volatility, uncertainty, and fear, will favor the high quality, fundamentally sound stocks that the Fund’s investment philosophy emphasizes.
At a meeting held on February 3-4, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. approved the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of Hartford LargeCap Growth HLS Fund (the “Aquired Fund”) with and into Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund (the “Acquring Fund”).
The Board of Directors has called for a special meeting of shareholder of the Aquired Fund (the “Meeting”) to be held on or about September 15, 2009, for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Reorganization Agreement”) with respect to the Acquired Fund. If approved, the Reorganization is expected to Occur on or about October 2, 2009.
If the Reorganization Agreement is approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, the Reorganization Agreement comtemplates: (1) the transfer of all of the assets of the Aq1uired Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having equal net asset value of the Acquired Fund; (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; and (3) th distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the Shareholders of the Acquirined Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Each shareholder of the Acquired Fund would receive shares of the Acquiring Fund equal in value to the shares of the Acquired Fund held by that shareholder as of the closingdate of the Reorganization.
A proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the Reorganization is expected to be mailed to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders in July, 2009.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford MidCap HLS Fund returned -35.32% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 400 MidCap Index, which returned -36.23% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the
-38.25% return of the average fund in the Lipper Mid-Cap Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was an extraordinarily challenging year in financial markets as nearly every asset class recorded significant price declines. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as a widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These changes included the near collapse of large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. Equity investors sought to shed risk in response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a U.S. recession, punishing stock prices broadly.
Small cap (-34%), mid cap (-36%), and large cap stocks (-37%) declined in unison during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P 400 MidCap, and S&P 500 indices, respectively. Value (-37%) and Growth (-38%) stocks performed similarly during the period, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value and Russell 1000 Growth indices. There were no safe havens as all ten sectors within the S&P 400 MidCap Index posted negative returns. Energy (-58%), Telecommunication Services (-51%), and Materials (-44%) were the biggest laggards, while Utilities
(-19%) and Consumer Staples (-24%) declined the least.
Favorable security selection in Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Materials contributed to positive relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance for the Fund and more than offset weaker stock selection in the Financials, Information Technology, and Energy sectors. Sector positioning, driven by security selection, detracted from benchmark-relative returns during the period, primarily due to underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) positions in Financials and

Table of Contents

Utilities. The Fund benefited from a modest cash position, which helped relative performance in a downward-trending market.
Top contributors to returns on a relative basis included Barr Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), ITT Educational Services (Consumer Discretionary), and Allied Waste (Industrials). Shares of specialty pharmaceutical company Barr Pharmaceuticals rose after the company received a stock and cash takeover offer from generic drug firm Teva Pharmaceutical. Shares of ITT, a technology-oriented postsecondary degree programs provider, benefited from strong industry fundamentals as the softer economy aided enrollment growth and increases in federal loan limits enhanced pricing power. Waste management company Allied Waste was acquired by Republic Services in early December. Other top contributors to absolute (i.e. total return) performance included drug developer Millennium Pharmaceuticals (Health Care) and specialty automotive aftermarket parts and accessories retailer O’Reilly Automotive (Consumer Discretionary).
Top detractors from relative performance included Electronic Arts (Information Technology), Chicago Bridge & Iron (Industrials), and CGG Veritas (Energy). Video game software company Electronic Arts saw its shares drift lower on disappointing bottom-line results due to high development costs and acquisition charges. Shares of global engineering and construction company Chicago Bridge & Iron declined due to project cost overruns and poor project bidding. Shares of CGG Veritas, a geophysical equipment and services provider, fell on concerns that demand for its seismic services will decline as energy companies cut back their exploration and production expenditures. U.S. hospital operator Community Health Systems (Health Care) and medical diagnostic test maker Beckman Coulter (Health Care) were also among the top detractors from absolute performance.
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year, and particularly in recent months, on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment we continue to focus our efforts on picking stocks based on a bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) review of their fundamental numbers. As a result of these individual stock decisions, we ended the period with overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) positions in the Information Technology sector and the traditionally less economically sensitive Health Care sector. The Fund’s largest underweight position at period-end was the Financials sector, an area that continues to be under significant stress amid volatile credit markets.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford MidCap Growth HLS Fund returned -46.85% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell MidCap Growth Index, which returned -44.32% for the same period, and underperforming the return of the average fund in the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth VP-UF Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, which returned -45.24%.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Our team invests in companies that we believe have compelling stock characteristics versus the Index. The team’s systematic approach weighs over thirty fundamental characteristics across four broad categories, including business behavior, management behavior, valuation and investor behavior. This analysis is used to build a broadly diversified portfolio of companies, with sector weightings determined largely by the attractiveness of specific stocks within the Fund’s investment universe. Overall, the Fund tends to invest in financially efficient companies with attractive valuations and strong balance sheets. We believe this approach will yield attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to the Index over the long term.
The Fund’s underperformance for the one-year period relative to the Index (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) was primarily due to an overweight position (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) in the Energy sector as well as adverse security selection in the Material and Financial sectors. This was offset by favorable security selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors.
The primary detractor from returns was an overweight position in Tesoro Corp, a petroleum refining company. A declining crack-spread, defined as the difference between the price of a
 
  42

unit of crude oil and a unit of refined petroleum, eroded much of the company’s bottom line as well as future earnings potential. An overweight position in fertilizer manufacturer and distributor CF Industries Holdings Inc. also detracted from relative return. The company’s stock experienced a pronounced slide amid fears that the credit crisis would negatively impact farmers’ ability to raise new capital for next year’s growing season
Among the largest contributors to relative returns was a large underweight position (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) in McDermott International, a specialty engineering and construction company. McDermott suffered substantial losses on several Middle-Eastern oil pipeline construction projects. Similarly, an underweight in motorcycle stalwart Harley Davidson helped buoy relative performance. Harley Davidson struggled due to the retrenchment of the consumer and a growing aversion toward luxury items.
What is the outlook?
The overall market environment looks challenging for 2009. The equity markets may not have yet fully priced in the possibility of further write-downs within the Banking sector or other negative economic headlines (i.e., further trouble within the housing market and continued severity of the credit crunch). Thus, any further declines may serve to retest the markets’ lows. Many investors will be focused on forthcoming decisions by the new Obama administration with regards to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other stimulus package details. Other factors that may exert influence upon investor sentiment include the impact of the recent interest rate cuts, the price of oil, the value of the U.S. dollar, and the unemployment level in the United States. As the main driver of the current downturn, global housing markets will continue to be scrutinized by investors seeking the beginning of a recovery. Until many of these factors stabilize, most investors will likely remain defensive, expecting a continuation of market volatility. However, we believe this stressful environment, characterized by high price-volatility, uncertainty, and fear, will favor the high quality, fundamentally sound stocks that the Fund’s investment philosophy emphasizes.
At the end of the period the Fund’s top holdings included overweight positions in Yum! Brands, a quick-service restaurant operator and Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefits management company. Yum! Brands is a top holding because of positive investor preferences, including strong volume and a high consensus of analyst estimates. Express Scripts is a top holding due to strong management behavior as evidenced by disciplined capital spending patterns and conservative accounting practices.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford MidCap Value HLS Fund returned -40.21% for the one year period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned -31.99% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -38.72 % return of the average fund in the Lipper Mid-Cap Value VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
We are in a period of tremendous uncertainty. Confidence in our global financial system has been badly damaged by the contagion which began with the U.S. housing slump and has spread to the collapse of major financial institutions, a transformation of Wall Street, and a complete failure of global credit markets which has pushed us into a global recession. The impact of the credit crunch on the real economy is now starkly evident. Governments around the world are taking unprecedented actions to provide liquidity and prevent a worst case meltdown. We think many of the steps taken, including TARP, equitizing banks, supporting commercial paper markets, raising insured deposit limits, and Federal Reserve rate cuts are
all positive measures. More actions will no doubt follow. The U.S. Federal Reserve will greatly expand its balance sheet until the private sector again shows an appetite for some risk.
In this environment equity markets fell dramatically across the board. Large (-37%), mid (-36%), and small (-34%) cap stocks declined in unison during the period, as measured by the S&P 500, S&P 400 MidCap, and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. Growth (-38%) and Value
(-37%) stocks also declined, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value indices. Weakness was widespread during the period as all sectors in the Russell 2500 Value Index posted large double-digit negative returns. Energy (-51%), Consumer Discretionary
(-46%) and Information Technology (-45%) posted the largest losses. Utilities (-16%) was the best relative performer given the defensive nature of the companies within the sector.
The Fund’s underperformance versus its benchmark was driven primarily by weak stock selection particularly within Financials, Consumer Staples and Energy. Stock selection within the traditionally defensive Health Care sector contributed positively to relative (i.e. performance of the Fund
         
 
  44

as measured against the benchmark) performance. Overall sector allocation, which is a fall-out from bottom up stock selection, also detracted from relative performance. In particular, our underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position in Financials and our overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) position in Information Technology more than offset positive returns from our underweight position in Energy and overweight position in Consumer Staples.
The largest detractors from performance during the period included Flextronics (Information Technology), Rhodia (Materials) and R.H. Donnelley (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of global electronics assembly contractor Flextronics declined due to lower new orders and a reduction in earnings guidance from management. French specialty chemical company Rhodia’s shares declined due to consensus’ perceived cyclicality of the company’s business lines and foreign currency pressures. U.S. Yellow Pages company R.H. Donnelley’s stock price fell as investors worried about the negative impact of softer advertising sales during a recession on earnings and cash flow, given the company’s financial leverage. Another top detractor from absolute (i.e. total return) returns was electronic components manufacturer Arrow Electronics (Information Technology).
Among the top contributors to relative performance during the period were Barr Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), Delta Airlines (Industrials) and CACI (Information Technology). Global specialty pharmaceutical company Barr Pharmaceutical’s shares increased following an offer by Teva Pharmaceuticals (a generic global pharmaceutical company) to acquire the company. Delta Airlines’ shares benefited from lower jet fuel prices during the period and the industry’s capacity curtailment ahead of weaker demand. Shares of technology services company CACI rose on news that the company recently received new U.S. government contracts. Another contributor to absolute returns was Annaly Capital Management (Financials).
What is the outlook?
The U.S. economy is declining at its sharpest pace in recent history. The global economy has also continued to deteriorate, with Europe and Japan succumbing to a recession that has engulfed the developed world and large segments of the emerging markets. China and India are downshifting to mid single digit growth, and thus are contributing to the economic malaise. As the massive global deleveraging continues, both consumption and capital goods purchases are likely to see a meaningful contraction over the next year. The destruction in consumer wealth in the U.S., so far estimated at $9 trillion, suggests a timid pace of growth is in store once a recovery begins, as an increased savings rate seems likely to be sustained for some time.
It would seem that this gloomy economic picture is now widely recognized. Government efforts to reignite the economy are massive in scope and provide some basis for improving investor sentiment. With a little luck, we could see a sequential bottom in GDP by mid ’09. While we remain wary of highly leveraged or illiquid balance sheets, we are inclined to begin moving away from some of our more defensive positions. At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight Health Care and Information Technology and most underweight Financials.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Small Company HLS Fund returned -40.60% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned -38.54% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the
-41.12% return of the average fund in the Lipper Small Cap Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one year period was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a positive start to the year, the global equity markets stumbled on credit crunch related issues such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a global recession, equity investors sought to shed risk. In this environment, small cap, mid cap and large cap stocks all declined by over 30% during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 (-34%), S&P 400 MidCap (-36%) and S&P 500 (-37%) indices, respectively. All sectors within the Russell 2000 Growth Index posted double digit declines. Energy (-51%), Telecommunication Services (-49%), Materials (-47%), and Consumer Discretionary (-44%) declined the most while Consumer Staples (-19%) declined the least.
The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period primarily due to weak stock selection within Financials, Information Technology, and Energy. Sector allocation helped performance due to an underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position in Energy and an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) position in Telecommunication Services. Stock selection in Telecommunication Services helped performance during the period, as did a moderate allocation to cash in a declining market.
On an individual stock basis, Focus Media (Consumer Discretionary) was the biggest setback to relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark)

performance. The China-based digital advertising and media company’s shares were beset by a series of company-specific issues, including management changes, accounting questions, and mobile spamming. A broad market sell-off across China compounded share price weakness. MF Global (Financials), a leading broker of exchange traded futures and options, also significantly hurt results. A rogue trading incident and consequent misgivings about MF Global’s controls and counterparty risk led the stock price to fall. We eliminated the position in favor of more attractive opportunities. ON Semiconductor (Information Technology) also hurt the Fund as semiconductors were impacted by global economic weakness, particularly in the auto and industrial sectors. This deterioration also caused ON Semiconductor to withdraw its proposal to acquire Amtel Corporation, further impacting the share price. Other significant detractors from absolute returns included Solutia (Materials) and Forest Oil (Energy).
Strong earnings and solid growth across practice areas and geographies boosted shares of Aecom Technology (Industrials), the top contributor to returns relative to the benchmark. In addition, Energy holding Cabot Oil & Gas (Energy), an independent exploration and production company with oil and gas properties in North America, and Centennial Communications (Telecommunications), a wireless service provider, contributed to relative performance. Cabot Oil & Gas posted gains on rising natural gas prices, impressive results in their East Texas acreage that helped boost reserves, and disciplined execution that helped control exploration and development costs. We took profit on Cabot Oil & Gas before the broad commodities sell off. Centennial Communications climbed after AT&T made a bid to acquire it. Other significant contributors to absolute returns included Millennium Pharmaceuticals (Health Care) and Arch Coal (Energy).
What is the outlook?
The overall market environment looks challenging for 2009. We are in a period of tremendous uncertainty. Confidence in our global financial system has been badly damaged by the contagion which began with the U.S. housing slump and has spread to the collapse of major financial institutions, a transformation of Wall Street, a seizure of global credit markets, and the ensuing global recession.
Despite the uncertainty, the Fund continues to focus on stocks of companies that we see as having unique business models, special market opportunities or sound fundamentals that should allow them to deliver growth during these turbulent times. The Fund remains well diversified, with holdings across all major market sectors. Bottom-up, fundamental research-driven stock-by-stock investment decisions led to overweights in Financials, Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, Industrials, and Consumer Staples relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index at the end of the period. The Fund ended the period underweight in Health Care, Energy, Materials, and Utilities. Our largest holdings included Aecom Technology
(Industrials), Solera Holdings (Information Technology), and Waste Connections (Industrials).
At the end of the period, 51% of the Fund’s assets were managed by Wellington Management Company and 49% were managed by Hartford Investment Management Company.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Small Cap Growth HLS Fund returned -37.42% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned -38.54% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the
-41.12% return of the average fund in the Lipper Small Cap Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one year period was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a modestly positive start to the year, the global equity markets stumbled on credit crunch related issues such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a global recession, equity investors sought to shed risk.
In this environment, small cap, mid cap and large cap stocks all declined by over 30% during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000
(-33.79%), S&P 400 MidCap (-36.23%) and S&P 500 (-37.00%) indices, respectively. All sectors within the Russell 2000 Growth Index posted double digit declines. Energy (-51.74%), Telecommunication Services (-49.07%), Materials (-46.82%), and Consumer Discretionary
(-44.23%) declined the most while Consumer Staples (-18.68%) declined the least.
Security selection had a positive effect on relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns, as favorable stock selection primarily in Materials and Consumer Discretionary was only slightly offset by weaker security selection in Energy and Health Care.
Top contributors to absolute (i.e. total return) and relative performance included Amerisafe (Financials), Watson Wyatt (Industrials) and ITT Educational Services (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Amerisafe, a specialty provider of workers’ compensation insurance, rose with strong third quarter results, helped by better-than-expected accident year loss ratio

(a measure of profitability) and lower than expected underwriting and operating expenses. Watson Wyatt, a global provider of human capital and financial management consulting services, performed well as it reported solid fiscal first quarter results. ITT Educational Services, a U.S. provider of post-secondary degree programs, saw its shares rise, as the company raised its estimates for 2009 on strong enrollments, revenue upside and lower expenses. Cliff Natural Resources, a mining company, was another top contributor to absolute performance.
The top relative and absolute detractors from performance were ATP Oil & Gas (Energy), Complete Production (Energy), and Rigel Pharmaceutical (Health Care). Shares of ATP Oil & Gas, an offshore oil and natural gas company, declined sharply in the second half of the year, on lower commodity prices, softer production volumes and liquidity concerns. Complete Production, a North American drilling and production services provider, performed poorly amid weakening economy, lack of credit availability, declining commodity prices and anticipation of slower drilling activity in 2009. Shares of a clinical stage drug development company Rigel Pharmaceutical slipped after test results for its rheumatoid arthritis drug indicated elevated blood pressure and liver enzyme levels.
What is the outlook?
The economy is declining at its sharpest pace in recent history. While the current pace of decline is unlikely to persist for long, further significant contraction is still expected in 2009. With a little luck, the economy can put in a sequential bottom some time late this spring or early summer, yet the deleveraging process will continue to be felt for years.
A company’s balance sheet strength, cash flow generation and ability to control financial outcomes – always critical considerations in assessing opportunity and risk – are of paramount importance in this environment. Confidence in a company’s ability to achieve our earnings forecasts, upside potential in its stock price, and reasonable liquidity can help us determine whether, and how much, to own of any given security. We believe the elevated level of fear in the market will eventually abate and that our care, diligence and patience will be rewarded.
At the end of the period the Fund was most overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) Health Care and Information Technology, while underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) Industrials, Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Materials relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.
At the end of the period, 91% of the Fund’s assets were managed by Wellington Management Company and 9% were managed by Hartford Investment Management Company.

How did the fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford SmallCap Value HLS Fund returned -29.36% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008. The Fund underperformed the -28.92% return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, and outperformed the -32.92% return of the Lipper Small Cap Value VP-UF peer group average, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Overall the equity market in the second half of the period was marked by extreme volatility. Equities fell during the period due to continued turmoil in the credit and housing markets and concerns regarding economic growth. Within the Russell 2000 Value Index, all ten sectors posted negative returns for the period led by Telecommunication Services (-51.6%), and Consumer Discretionary (-50.5%). Utilities (-8.3%) and Consumer Staples (-19.5%) declined the least.
Stock selection was the primary driver of our performance during the year ended December 31, 2008. Detractors from performance included Tempur-Pedic International (Consumer Discretionary), National Financial Partners (Financials) and Crosstex Energy (Energy). Tempur-Pedic, which was one of our top performers in 2007, fell hard on weak sales, the tough economic environment and increased competition. During the period, Tempur-Pedic suspended its dividend and lowered its earning guidance. National Financial Partners, an independent distributor of financial service products, dropped during the period on poor sales, analysts’ downgrades and liquidity concerns. Shares of Crosstex Energy, a natural gas company, tumbled during the period due to declining commodity prices, a reduction in its distributions and the slowdown in industry drilling activity.
World Fuel Services (Energy), Children’s Place Retail Stores (Consumer Discretionary) and Cathay General Bancorp (Financials) were top relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performers. Shares of World

Fuel Services, a company that engages in the marketing and sales of marine, aviation and land fuel products, rose during 2008 due to record earnings and the successful integration of Kropp Holdings. World Fuel Services acquired Kropp Holdings in December 2007. During the reporting period, Children’s Place stock recouped some of its prior losses as it divested its ailing Disney Store business. Based in Los Angeles and targeting a Chinese-American clientele, Cathay General boasts one of the most disciplined management teams in the industry. To its credit, Cathay has not needed to raise capital throughout the credit crisis, setting it apart from the vast majority of its peers. Cathay General ended the period as one of our largest holdings.
What is the outlook?
The U.S. economy is declining at the sharpest pace in recent history. The overall market environment continues to look challenging for 2009. Nevertheless, while the policymakers’ (including the Fed) actions taken recently should help stem the current crisis, obstacles will likely remain. The fallout and the resulting changes taking place at present in the Financial Services sector are going to have reverberations for the global economy in the short and medium term and will ultimately impact most sectors. However, we have little doubt that now, with the full attention of the world’s central banks, governments and regulators, financial markets will make their way through the chasm caused by an historical confluence of circumstances.
Currently, the Fund’s overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) positions relative to the benchmark were in Industrials and Health Care. Conversely, the Fund’s largest underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position relative to the benchmark continues to be in Financials. We believe that the complementary style of the three sub-advisers provides the Fund with a well positioned portfolio in this environment to add value relative to the market and its peers.
At the end of the period, 37% of the Fund’s assets were managed by Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, 34% of the Fund’s assets were managed by Metropolitan West Capital Management and 29% of the Fund’s assets were managed by SSgA Funds Management.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Stock HLS Fund returned -43.13% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index which returned -36.99% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -38.76% return of the average fund in the Lipper Large Cap Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as the widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These changes included the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a potential U.S. recession, equity investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity securities broadly.
Large (-37%), mid (-36%), and small (-34%) cap stocks declined, by similar levels during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 , S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. The same was true for Growth (-38%) and Value (-37%) stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value indices. All ten sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted sharp negative returns during the period, led by Financials (-55%), Materials (-46%) and Information Technology (-43%). Traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-15%) and Health Care (-23%) declined the least.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the benchmark was driven by security selection, which was weakest in Financials, Information Technology, and Energy. Sector positioning, which is a result of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) security selection, also detracted from performance due to underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) exposures to Consumer Staples and Utilities, and overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) exposures to Financials and Information Technology.

Table of Contents

Stocks that detracted the most from relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns during the period were Washington Mutual (Financials), Gazprom (Energy) and Lehman Brothers (Financials). Shares of consumer and small business banking company Washington Mutual fell significantly early in the year on fears that the losses it would incur on its residential real estate portfolio could force another dilutive capital raise and further depress earnings. We believed the company had substantial resources to weather the current environment and absorb the coming losses through the credit cycle. However, the FDIC forced the company’s hand by publicly expressing concern about the quality of their mortgage assets and by facilitating an acquisition by JP Morgan to minimize future risk to FDIC insurance assets. Russia-based Gazprom, the world’s largest natural gas producer, saw its shares fall amid a weakening economic environment, escalating geopolitical concerns, and declining natural gas prices. Investment bank Lehman Brothers’ shares collapsed as the company fell victim to the financial crisis during the third quarter; lack of confidence, a liquidity crisis, and inability to attract a partner ultimately led to the firm’s demise. Significant detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) returns also included General Electric (Industrials) and Goldman Sachs (Financials).
Top contributors to relative performance during the period were Shionogi (Health Care), Comcast (Consumer Discretionary) and Delta Air Lines (Industrials). Shares of Shionogi, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, rose after the company reported steady earnings growth driven by sales of cholesterol lowering drug Crestor and allergy drug Claritin. Shares of cable company Comcast outperformed as the company’s solid operating results during a challenging economic environment helped the stock price. Delta Air Lines’ share price rallied on falling oil prices in the second half of the year. The Fund’s holdings in Qualcomm (Information Technology) and Genentech (Health Care) also contributed positively to the Fund’s returns on an absolute basis.
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment we continue to focus our efforts on stock-by-stock fundamental research to construct a diversified large-cap core portfolio. We look for companies that exhibit the following qualities: industry leadership, strong balance sheets, solid management, high return on equity, accelerating earnings, and/or attractive valuation with a catalyst. At the end of the period, our bottom-up investment approach resulted in overweight exposures in Financials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary, as we found a number of attractive investment opportunities in these sectors. The Fund’s largest
underweights relative to the S&P 500 were in Utilities, Consumer Staples and Telecommunication Services.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund returned -7.62 % for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 5.24% for the same period, and underperforming the return of the average fund in the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt VP-UF Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, which returned -3.00%.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Broadly speaking, the Fund had greater exposure to widening risk premiums (i.e., increased credit spread or yield differential between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities) than the Index. Credit spreads gapped wider in all spread (i.e., non-Treasury) sectors to levels not seen since the Great Depression. Within this framework, various factors contributed to the Fund’s underperformance versus the Index.
The Fund maintained an overweight position (i.e., the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to the investment grade corporate bond sector throughout the year. The Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index produced an excess return (Treasury adjusted return or the index return less the return on a set of duration-equivalent Treasuries) of negative 17.86%. In particular, the Fund maintained an overweight to subordinate financial issues which suffered to a greater extent than senior financial issues.
Asset Backed Securities (ABS) detracted from performance as the consumer’s ability to repay loans declined and the housing crisis continued to worsen. The value of home equity ABS receivables declined as home prices continued to slip and similarly prices of auto loan and revolving consumer credit receivables continued to decline. Although exposure to these sectors of the ABS market represented a small fraction of the overall NAV of the Fund, the declining value of these receivables caused a negative impact on relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance.

Table of Contents

 
As the economy deteriorated and investors increased their default frequency expectations, the high yield segment of the market performed poorly, negatively impacting the Fund’s exposure to that sector. Similarly, our slight overweight to the emerging markets sector detracted from performance as the global economic environment presented significant challenges for both corporate and sovereign issuers. In addition, our small overweight in the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) sector also hurt performance as fundamentals in that sector continued to deteriorate.
On a more positive note, the Fund’s duration (i.e. a measure of interest rate sensitivity) and yield curve positioning had a positive impact on performance by taking advantage of the flattening in the curve (i.e., short and long term interest rates moving closer together). The Fund’s duration was positioned long compared to the Index while rates declined in the latter months of the year.
What is the outlook?
The remarkable increase in credit spreads to Treasury securities in the fourth quarter reflects both the consequences of a broad based rush to deleverage among institutional investors as well as a repricing of risk in a world of rapidly collapsing real economic activity. As the first quarter of 2009 begins it is difficult to forecast whether either of these factors are behind us. The modest recovery in credit spreads in mid to late December in the wake of the U.S. Government’s infusion of capital in the banking system and the Federal Reserve System’s (the “Fed”) announcement of prospective purchases of key fixed income asset classes does suggest investors believe a safety net has been put in place beneath the bond market. However, even if we are past the extremes in valuations and volatility, earnings and capital adequacy concerns as well as uncertainty about the extent of the economic decline will keep risk aversion a key theme.
We expect the Fed to continue to pursue any and all policies to restart the credit markets and the economy. The anticipated result is that short-term interest rates will remain near zero for the foreseeable future and the Fed will be a buyer of all fixed income asset classes, from Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Securities to Treasuries.
In this environment we do not expect either interest rates or credit spreads to move decisively higher or lower from current levels. Rather, we expect ranges to prevail as the Fed holds rates low and investors digest what we expect to be a pattern of conflicting data. As a result, we believe duration opportunities will exist in the context of the market moving to the extremes of the range. With respect to credit sectors, we believe the best opportunities will be in high quality issuers whose balance sheets and cash flow best protect bondholder interests.
Diversification will also be an important theme as the economic crosscurrents of a severe recession raise the risks to over-concentrated positions.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of Hartford U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund returned -0.64% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government Bond Index, which returned 10.43% for the same period, and underperforming the return of the average fund in the Lipper General U.S. Government VP-UF Funds Category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, which returned 3.86%.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
A significant detractor to the Fund’s relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance was out-of-benchmark sector allocations, particularly to mortgage related securities such as Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) and Asset Backed Securities (ABS).
The beginning of December saw unprecedented spread widening (i.e., increased credit spread or yield differential between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities) in Asset Backed Securities (ABS) and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS), driven by the combination of a severe housing recession, a contraction of credit availability, and the forced deleveraging of risk by financial firms. Forces not dissimilar to these also pushed the entire U.S. economy into a severe recession. Although the Fund’s allocation to ABS- and CMBS- related securities was relatively small, these sectors resulted in a significant detraction in performance relative to the benchmark. Performance detractors were widespread, impacting all asset classes, including Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (RMBS), Government Agency debt and securities based on Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. As the seizing up of the capital markets and the resulting investor flight to quality ensued, interest rates moved to historically low levels. This provided an environment for Treasury securities to end the year outperforming all other asset classes.
In addition, although the Fund’s duration positioning (i.e., a measure of interest rate sensitivity) detracted from performance, the Fund’s yield curve positioning contributed a positive impact on overall performance, particularly in the beginning of the year by taking advantage of a steepening yield curve (i.e., short and long-term interest rates moving further apart).

What is the outlook?
In an effort to stem the continued downturn of the financial markets, the Federal Reserve System (“the “Fed”) is deploying a number of tools that it hopes will provide stimulus. These efforts include a commitment to purchase $500 billion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Agency Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), as well as a proposal to engage these Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) to lower mortgage rates. This solution should serve to support current MBS dollar prices while maintaining low consumer interest rates. With more focused government intervention expected as the new administration takes office, a continued flexibility will be required in order to respond to changes in the markets. Specifically, due to continuing economic uncertainty, high price volatility remains likely in various other spread (i.e., non-Treasury) sectors. There exists strong anticipation that the U.S. Government will remain committed to fostering a low interest rate environment, while continuing its efforts to support the housing market. However, residential mortgage securities will continue to be plagued by uncertainty over prepayment and loss-severity as markets seek clarity over the final form the new legislation will take. The next twelve months should see a record supply of Treasury securities coinciding with increased government involvement. Accordingly, interest rates could see upward pressure should the economic downturn reach a bottom and begin to stabilize.
While 2008 saw the build up to a financial maelstrom the likes of which the U.S. economy hasn’t dealt with since the Great Depression, there is at least a realization of where recovery may start from. The bond markets, via loose credit offerings, provided an environment for an unparalleled acquisition of real estate assets. We believe that it is these very markets that will signify recovery as the deleveraging processes wind down, with any sustainable signs of progress possibly coming from the narrowing of credit-risk spreads, or the difference in price between various credits over Treasuries, and improving equity prices. If coordinated efforts are successful, we believe that this may serve as a catalyst of an increased availability of credit to both businesses and consumers, as well as the restoration of otherwise high-quality credits.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Value HLS Fund returned -34.03% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned -36.85% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -37.09% return of the average fund in the Lipper Large Cap Value VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Liquidity constraints dominated the economic landscape over the last year, leading the Federal Government to undertake its largest role in the markets since the Great Depression. Failures and forced mergers crippled financial services companies while insurers faced new questions about the health of their business. Investors looked to shed risk at every possible opportunity, providing a headwind for equities broadly.
All ten broad economic sectors of the Fund’s Russell 1000 Value benchmark declined sharply during the year. Financials (-52%), Information Technology (-49%), and Materials (-48%) performed the worst; the relative winners in this environment were less economically-sensitive areas like Consumer Staples (-17%), Health Care (-20%), and Utilities (-24%). Small cap, mid cap and large cap stocks all declined during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 -34%, S&P 400 MidCap -36% and S&P 500 -37% indices, respectively. Value and growth stocks performed equally poorly: the Russell 1000 Value’s -37% return was marginally better than the Russell 1000 Growth’s -38% loss.
The primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) to the benchmark was favorable stock selection, particularly within Financials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary. Allocation among sectors, an outgrowth of the Fund’s bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process, was slightly positive during the year due to underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) positions in Financials and Consumer Discretionary and an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) position in Consumer Staples.
Among the top contributors to benchmark-relative returns were our positions in ACE (Financials), Bristol-Myers Squibb (Health

Care) and Abbott Labs (Health Care). Property/casualty insurance and reinsurance provider ACE benefited from troubles at rival AIG and favorable pricing, pushing its shares higher. Bristol-Myers Squibb, a global pharmaceutical firm, saw its shares rise when the company reported strong quarterly results and a positive outlook for 2009. Shares of Abbott Labs, a global pharmaceutical and diagnostic products company, gained on a strong quarterly earnings report based on robust results in psoriasis drug Humira and drug eluting stent Xience. Relative performance also benefited from our sale early in the year of AIG (Financials) and Wachovia (Financials) and from our underweight position in Citigroup (Financials), all of which saw sharp declines in their stock prices as the global financial crisis deepened. Top contributors to absolute (i.e. total return) returns included electronic payments network operator Visa and midatlantic banking company M&T Bank.
Top detractors from relative performance during the year included airline operator Delta Air Lines (Industrials), Wells Fargo (Financials), and Morgan Stanley (Financials). Following our purchase of the stock early in the year, Delta’s shares underperformed due to a dramatic rise in jet fuel prices and a further weakening U.S. economy. We eliminated the position prior to a rebound in the share price. Our underweight position in Wells Fargo during the year hurt us as investors favored the stock relative to other Financials companies given its AAA-credit rating. Shares of global financial services firm Morgan Stanley fell as investors reduced holdings of Financials companies in the face of the ongoing credit and liquidity crisis. We avoided Johnson & Johnson (Health Care) and Procter & Gamble (Consumer Staples) in favor of companies that we believed have better fundamentals. However, these stocks performed better than most during the year, which negatively impacted our benchmark-relative returns. Top detractors from absolute returns were Bank of America, General Electric, and Goldman Sachs.
What is the outlook?
Credit market and banking concerns led to further economic distress in the industrial and commercial sectors as 2008 came to a close. This distress was reflected in the market’s slide as investors grew more uncertain about the depth and duration of the downturn. Central banks and governments are throwing every relief tool into the mix. These actions are likely to have a beneficial effect over the short term, but their long-term impact is still unknown.
We believe that equity markets incorporated a deep recession into valuations over the recent period. Prices and valuations consequently began to approach attractive levels, even given a continuing decline in the economy. Accordingly, we reduced our positions in some of the more defensive names, such as Utilities, Health Care, and Consumer Staples stocks, while we increased our positions in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Value Opportunities HLS Fund returned -41.06% for the one year period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index, which returned -36.25% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -36.78% return of the average fund in the Lipper Multi-Cap Value VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
A tide of risk aversion swept through the equity markets during the second half of the year on the waves of worry about access to credit, home price depreciation and falling economic activity. In this environment, the Russell 3000 Index returned -37% during the period, with value stocks, as measured by the Russell 3000 Value Index -36%, outperforming growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 3000 Growth Index -38%, by 220 basis points. Small cap, mid cap and large cap stocks all struggled during the period. The Russell 2000 Index, a measure of small cap stocks, returned -34%, the S&P 400 MidCap Index returned -36% and the S&P 500 Index returned -37%. All ten broad economic sectors within the Russell 3000 Value Index suffered steep declines, with Consumer Staples declining the least.
In general, stocks with low price to book valuations, high debt levels, and those which are more volatile suffered the most. Historically, these conditions have been proven to be difficult for our contrarian, value-oriented investment strategy.
Stock selection was the primary driver of the Fund’s relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) underperformance and was particularly weak in Energy, Consumer Staples and Financials. Overall sector allocation also detracted modestly from the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) position in Information Technology and underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the
         
  60

benchmark position) positions in Energy and Utilities hurt relative performance; however, the Fund’s underweight position in Financials and its overweight position in Health Care helped relative performance.
The largest detractors from benchmark relative performance were Royal Bank of Scotland (Financials), Ambac Financial (Financials), and Exxon Mobil (Energy).
Financial Services stocks faced significant turmoil during the period resulting from heightened fear and eventually the seizure of the credit markets. This credit crisis resulted in swift and unprecedented action by the U.S. Federal government to keep the capital markets functioning. During this time, several of our financial holdings were negatively impacted. Shares of Royal Bank of Scotland fell as losses on asset-backed securities mounted, and the bank was forced to raise new equity to shore up its slim capital base. Shares in bond insurer Ambac plummeted early in the year, as guarantees it had written on mortgages and CDOs required highly-dilutive fresh capital which exceeded our expectations.
The Fund’s underweight position in integrated oil and natural gas company Exxon Mobil hurt relative performance, as the stock became a safe haven for investors fleeing the price declines elsewhere in the energy and commodity sectors. By year-end, this trend had taken ExxonMobil to nearly 8% of the Fund’s benchmark, a level not seen or sustained by any company in recent memory.
Bank of America was the largest detractor on an absolute (i.e. total return) basis. The bank’s shares declined due to concerns about its own portfolios of home equity and credit card loans, as well as the quality of assets acquired in the Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch deals. Another large detractor from absolute returns was oil and natural gas producer Newfield Exploration, which suffered as oil and gas prices fell precipitously from their mid-year peaks.
The largest contributors to relative performance included Delta Air Lines (Industrials), American International Group (Financials) and Comcast (Consumer Discretionary). Delta Airlines benefited from lower jet fuel prices during the period and the industry’s capacity curtailment ahead of weaker demand. Our exit strategy for AIG was well-timed: we eliminated our position ahead of the precipitous decline in the company’s shares, which resulted from liquidity constraints and credit rating downgrades, and eventually led to an unprecedented government bailout of the firm. Shares of Comcast continued to outperform due to solid operating results despite a challenging economic environment.
Other large contributors to absolute returns included health care services provider UnitedHealth Group and U.S. coal producer Arch Coal.
What is the outlook?
Credit markets have frozen globally, and policy makers are scrambling to come up with measures to restore confidence in the battered financial system. A combination of more rescue packages, unconventional monetary policies by the Federal Reserve Bank and world-wide rate cuts should succeed in reviving the funding-starved credit system. Still, these measures will not prevent a global recession from unfolding. We believe the unwinding of leverage will be a multi-year event, and any recovery next year will likely be followed by a period of sub-trend growth.
Amid the turmoil, we continue to analyze and select investments for the Fund which we believe offer outsized reward in return for the risks accepted. We believe we have positioned the Fund in companies with the liquidity to survive the crisis period and the ability to demonstrate material upside potential when economic fundamentals improve. In that context, we have emphasized technology companies — many with net cash balance sheets — cable companies, and insurers, relative to our benchmark. As prices have plummeted, we have added to certain Energy and Materials names while reducing exposure to regional banks.
At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight Information Technology and Health Care, and most underweight Telecommunication Services and Utilities, relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index.

Schedule of Investments — (continued)
December 31, 2008
(000’s Omitted)
 
Note:  Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets. Market value of investments in foreign securities represents 47.63% of total net assets at December 31, 2008.
 
Foreign securities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets are adjusted daily pursuant to a third party pricing service methodology approved by the Board of Directors in order to reflect an adjustment for factors occurring after the close of the foreign market but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange.
 
The disclosures required by FAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements” are shown following the Schedules of Investments.
 
(C) At December 31, 2008, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $113,376 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost were:
 
         
Unrealized Appreciation
  $ 1,309  
Unrealized Depreciation
    (34,958 )
         
Net Unrealized Depreciation
  $ (33,649 )
         
 
(A) The aggregate value of securities valued in good faith at fair value as determined under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors at December 31, 2008, was $17, which represents 0.02% of total net assets. This calculation excludes securities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets and whose prices were adjusted pursuant to a third party pricing service methodology approved by the Board of Directors.
 
(D) Currently non-income producing.
 
(I) Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum, exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers. Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, these issues are determined to be liquid. The aggregate value of these securities at December 31, 2008, was $379, which represents 0.48% of total net assets.
 
(K) Securities contain some restrictions as to public resale. These securities comply with Regulation S, rules governing offers and sales made outside the United States without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and are determined to be liquid. At December 31, 2008, the market value of these securities amounted to $69 or 0.09% of net assets.
 
(X) Convertible security.
 
(H) The following securities are considered illiquid. Illiquid securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are often not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may have contractual restrictions on resale. A security may also be considered illiquid if the security lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time.

(L) Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at December 31, 2008.
 
(M) The interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the effective yield on the date of acquisition.
 
(N) The interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the average coupon as of December 31, 2008.
 
(c) The interest rates disclosed for interest only strips represent effective yields based upon estimated future cash flows at December 31, 2008.
 
(Q) The cost of securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis at December 31, 2008 was $1,903.
 
(V) Senior floating rate interests in which the Fund invests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States Banks, or (iii) the bank’s certificate of deposit rate. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The interest rate indicated is the rate in effect at December 31, 2008.
 
(X) Convertible security.
 
(B) All principal amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. EUR — Euro
 
(H) The following securities are considered illiquid. Illiquid securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are often not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may have contractual restrictions on resale. A security may also be considered illiquid if the security lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time.

Table of Contents

 

 


 
(A) The aggregate value of securities valued in good faith at fair value as determined under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors at December 31, 2008, was $11,757, which represents 0.30% of total net assets. This calculation excludes securities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets and whose prices were adjusted pursuant to a third party pricing service methodology approved by the Board of Directors.
 
(CC) Perpetual maturity security. Maturity date shown is the first call date.
 
(D) Currently non-income producing. For long-term debt securities, items identified are in default as to payment of interest and/or principal.
 
(F) The company is in bankruptcy. The investment held by the fund is not in default.
 
(I) Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum, exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers. Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, these issues are determined to be liquid. The aggregate value of these securities at December 31, 2008, was $248,214, which represents 6.35% of total net assets.
 
(K) Securities contain some restrictions as to public resale. These securities comply with Regulation S, rules governing offers and sales made outside the United States without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and are determined to be liquid. At December 31, 2008, the market value of these securities amounted to $5,949 or 0.15% of net assets.
 
(L) Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at December 31, 2008.
 
(M) The interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the effective yield on the date of acquisition.
 
(N) The interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the average coupon as of December 31, 2008.
 
(?) The interest rates disclosed for interest only strips represent effective yields based upon estimated future cash flows at December 31, 2008.
 
(Q) The cost of securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis at December 31, 2008 was $892.
 
(V) Senior floating rate interests in which the Fund invests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States Banks, or (iii) the bank’s certificate of deposit rate. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The interest rate indicated is the rate in effect at December 31, 2008.
 
(X) Convertible security.
 
(B) All principal amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
 
     
BRL

EUR

(H) The following securities are considered illiquid. Illiquid securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are often not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may have contractual restrictions on resale. A security may also be considered illiquid if the security lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time.

Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc.
 
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
(000’s Omitted)
 
1.  Organization:
 
The Hartford HLS Funds serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (“HLIC”) and certain qualified retirement plans. Certain Hartford HLS Funds may also serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the accompanying variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the funds permitted by their plans.
 
Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. (each a “Company” or together the “Companies”) are open-end management investment companies comprised of forty-one portfolios. Thirty portfolios are included in these financial statements. They are Hartford Advisers HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Equity Income HLS Fund, Hartford Fundamental Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Global Advisers HLS Fund, Hartford Global Equity HLS Fund, Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Global Health HLS Fund, Hartford Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford High Yield HLS Fund, Hartford Index HLS Fund, Hartford International Growth HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford International Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford LargeCap Growth HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap Growth HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap Value HLS Fund, Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford SmallCap Growth HLS Fund, Hartford SmallCap Value HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, Hartford U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund, Hartford Value HLS Fund and Hartford Value Opportunities HLS Fund (each a “Fund” or together the “Funds”).
 
The Companies are organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as diversified open-end management investment companies, except for Hartford Global Health HLS Fund, which is non-diversified.
 
Each Fund is divided into Class IA and Class IB shares. Each class is offered at the per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge and is subject to the same expenses, except that the Class IB shares are subject to distribution fees charged pursuant to Distribution and Service Plans. These Distribution and Service Plans have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
 
  a)  Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
 
Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis.
 
  b)  Security Valuation — Except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, the Funds generally use market prices in valuing portfolio securities. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the security as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of that Fund’s Board of Directors. Market prices may be deemed unreliable, for example, if a security is thinly traded or if an event has occurred after the close of the security’s primary markets, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, referred to as the “Valuation Time”) that is expected to affect the value of the portfolio security. The circumstances in which a Fund may use fair value pricing include, among others: (i) the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructuring or defaults; (ii) the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or governmental actions; (iii) trading restrictions on securities; (iv) thinly traded securities and (v) market events such as trading halts and early market closings. In addition, with respect to the valuation of stocks primarily traded on foreign markets, each Fund uses a fair value pricing service approved by that Fund’s Board of Directors, which employs quantitative models which evaluate changes in the value of foreign market proxies (e.g., futures contracts, ADR’s, ETF’s) after the close of the foreign markets but before the close of the Exchange. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the NAV of their respective shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is primarily traded but before the close of the Exchange. There can be no assurance that any Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if the Fund were to sell the security at approximately the time at which that Fund determines its NAV.
 
Debt securities (other than short-term obligations and senior floating rate interests) held by the Funds are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units of debt securities. Senior floating rate interests generally trade in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and are priced through an independent pricing service utilizing independent market quotations from loan dealers or financial institutions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities in accordance with procedures established by that Fund’s Board of Directors. Generally, each Fund may use fair valuation in regard to debt securities when a Fund holds defaulted or distressed securities or securities in a company in which a reorganization is pending. Short-term investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased are valued based on

­ ­  196  ­ ­

market quotations until the remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. The Hartford Money Market HLS Fund’s investments and investments of other Funds that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Exchange traded equity securities shall be valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded (the “Primary Market”) at the Valuation Time. If the security did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the Valuation Time at the last reported sale price on another exchange where it trades. The value of an equity security not traded on any exchange but traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) or another OTC market shall be valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is traded as of the Valuation Time. If it is not possible to determine the last reported sale price or official closing price on the relevant exchange or market at the Valuation Time, the value of the security shall be taken to be the most recent mean between bid and asked prices on such exchange or market at the Valuation Time.
 
Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates.
 
Options contracts on securities, currencies, indexes, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments shall be valued at their most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on the Primary Market on which the instrument is traded. If the instrument did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on another exchange or market where it did trade.
 
Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. If a settlement price is not available, futures contracts will be valued at the most recent trade price as of the Valuation Time. If there were no trades, the contract shall be valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask prices as of the Valuation Time.
 
Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in securities in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
A forward currency contract shall be valued based on the price of the underlying currency at the prevailing interpolated exchange rate, which is a combination of the spot currency rate and the forward currency rate. Spot currency rates and forward currency rates are obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily basis not more than one hour before the Valuation Time.
 
Swaps are valued based on custom valuations furnished by an independent pricing service. Swaps for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
Other derivative or contractual type instruments shall be valued using market prices if such instruments trade on an exchange or market. If such instruments do not trade on an exchange or market, such instruments shall be valued at a price at which the counterparty to such contract would repurchase the instrument. In the event that the counterparty cannot provide a price, such valuation may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the valuation date.
 
  c)  Foreign Currency Transactions — The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
The Funds do not isolate that portion of portfolio security valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
 
  d)  Securities Lending — The Funds, except for the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, may lend their securities to certain qualified brokers who pay these Funds negotiated lender fees. The loans are fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or U.S. Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements. The cash collateral is then invested in short-term money market instruments. The repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Securities. The adequacy of the collateral for securities on loan is monitored on a daily basis. For instances where the market value of collateral falls below the market value of the securities out on loan, such collateral is supplemented on the following business day.
 
While securities are on loan, each Fund is subject to the following risks: 1) that the borrower may default on the loan and that the collateral could be inadequate in the event the borrower defaults, 2) that the earnings on the collateral invested may not be sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan, 3) that the principal value of the collateral invested may decline and may not be sufficient to pay back the borrower for the amount of the collateral posted, 4) that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale which may place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities, 5) that return of loaned securities could be delayed and could interfere with portfolio management decisions and 6) that any efforts to recall the securities for purposes of voting a proxy may not be effective. No Funds had securities on loan as of December 31, 2008.
 
  e)  Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”), or Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington”). These balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.
 
  f)  Repurchase Agreements — A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Funds enter into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies),

Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)

(000’s Omitted)
 
  including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities that serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by each Fund’s custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial account of the Funds or in a third party custodial account. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. Certain Funds, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  g)  Reverse Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund, except Hartford Index HLS Fund, may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio assets concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Reverse repurchase agreements carry the risk that the market value of the securities which a Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price. A reverse repurchase agreement is viewed as a collateralized borrowing by a Fund. Borrowing magnifies the potential for gain or loss on the portfolio securities of a Fund and, therefore, increases the possibility of a fluctuation in the Fund’s NAV. Reverse Repurchase Agreements are valued at proceeds plus accrued interest. There were no outstanding reverse repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  h)  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts that obligate the Funds to repurchase/replace or sell currencies at specified future dates. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies.
 
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain Funds as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had open forward foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
  i)  Indexed Securities — The Funds may invest in indexed securities whose values are linked to changes in interest rates, indices, or other underlying instruments. The Funds use these securities to increase or decrease their exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in using conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment and there may be a limit to the potential appreciation of the investment. Certain Funds had investments in indexed securities, as of December 31, 2008, as shown in the Schedule of Investments under Exchange Traded Funds.
 
  j)  Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Funds’ shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders or plan participants. The NAV of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the Exchange. The NAV is determined separately for each class of each Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of a Fund’s shares received by an insurance company or plan prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received by an insurance company or plan after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
 
Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Funds’ Board of Directors based upon the investment performance of the Funds. The policy of all Funds, except Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, is to pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains, if any, at least once a year.
 
Hartford Money Market HLS Fund seeks to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 by declaring a daily dividend from net investment income, including net short-term capital gains and losses, and by valuing its investments using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. Dividends are declared daily and distributed monthly.
 
Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing. These differences include foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales adjustments, related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies and certain derivatives, and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Funds’ capital accounts (see Note 4 (d)).
 
  k)  Illiquid and Restricted Securities — Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund which may invest up to 10% in such securities. “Illiquid Securities” are those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days, at approximately the price used to determine a Fund’s NAV. A Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities or other investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such securities or investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the securities or investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid securities or other investments may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of those that are liquid. Illiquid securities and investments also may be more difficult to value, due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such securities or investments, and investment in them may have an adverse impact on NAV. Each Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities, commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Funds’ Board of Directors. Certain Funds, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had illiquid or restricted securities as of December 31, 2008.
 
  l)  Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis — Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Funds on a forward commitment, or when-issued or delayed-delivery basis take place beyond the customary settlement period. During this period, such securities

­ ­  198  ­ ­

  are subject to market fluctuations, and the Funds identify securities segregated in their records with value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds had entered into outstanding when-issued or forward commitments as follows:
 
         
Fund
  Cost
 
Hartford Advisers HLS Fund
  $ 65,622  
Hartford Global Advisers HLS Fund
    2,590  
Hartford High Yield HLS Fund
    1,903  
Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund
    892  
 
  m)  Credit Risk — Credit risk depends largely on the perceived financial health of bond issuers. In general, lower rated bonds have higher credit risk. High yield bond prices can fall on bad news about the economy, an industry or a company. The share price, yield and total return of a Fund which holds securities with higher credit risk may fluctuate more than with less aggressive bond funds.
 
  n)  Senior Floating Rate Interests — Certain Funds, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, may invest in senior floating rate interests. Senior floating rate interests hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured by specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. Senior floating rate interests are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the senior floating rate interest. Senior floating rate interests are typically rated below-investment-grade, which suggests they are more likely to default and generally pay higher interest rates than investment-grade loans. A default could lead to non-payment of income which would result in a reduction of income to the Fund and there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.
 
  o)  Prepayment Risks — Most senior floating rate interests and certain debt securities allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Senior floating rate interests and securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. In addition, with respect to securities, rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower than expected rate, thereby effectively lengthening the maturity of the security and making the security more sensitive to interest rate changes. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities and certain asset-backed securities. Accordingly, the potential for the value of a senior floating rate interest or debt security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. For certain asset-backed securities, the actual maturity may be less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments. As a result, the timing of income recognition relating to these securities may vary based upon the actual maturity.
 
Senior floating rate interests or debt securities purchased to replace a prepaid loan or a debt security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid loan or debt security. Senior floating rate interests generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for the Borrower to repay, prepayments of senior floating rate interests may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior floating rate interests held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown in the Schedule of Investments.
 
  p)  Swaps — Certain Funds may enter into event linked swaps, including credit default swaps. The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, an index, or a basket of issuers. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. A “seller’s” exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract.
 
Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaps. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate multiplied by a “notional principal amount,” in return for payments equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the same amount, for a specific period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as well. Swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment rates. Certain funds, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding swaps as of December 31, 2008.
 
  q)  Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates.
 
  r)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Effective January 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
 
  •     Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, ETF’s, repurchase agreements and rights and warrants.

Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)

(000’s Omitted)
 
  •     Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities, whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost.
  •     Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker-quoted securities, long dated OTC options and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price.
 
Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than that presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.
 
FAS 157 also requires that a roll forward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3. For purposes of this reconciliation, transfers in are shown at the end of period fair value and transfers out are shown at the beginning of period fair value.
 
Refer to the valuation hierarchy levels summary and the Level 3 roll forward reconciliation found following the Schedules of Investments.
 
  s)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires companies to disclose information detailing the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the level of derivative activity entered into by the company and any credit risk- related contingent features of the agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and has not yet implemented the new disclosure standard.
 
  t)  Indemnifications:  Under the Companies’ organizational documents, each Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland Corporate Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Companies, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Companies’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Companies have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
3.  Futures and Options Transactions:
 
Certain Funds may invest in futures and options contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date. When the Funds enter into such futures contracts, they are required to deposit with a futures commission merchant an amount of “initial margin” of cash, commercial paper or U.S. Treasury Bills. Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market), which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the Funds.
 
At any time prior to the expiration of the futures contract, a Fund may close the position by taking an opposite position, which would effectively terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund and the Fund realizes a gain or loss.
 
The use of futures contracts involves elements of market risk, which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of the futures contracts may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in loss. Certain Funds, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding futures contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options to reflect the current market value of the option as of the end of the reporting period.
 
The Funds may write covered options. “Covered” means that so long as the Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the underlying securities or currency or an option to purchase or sell the same underlying securities or currency having an expiration date of the covered option and an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the covered option, or will pledge cash or other liquid securities having a value equal to or greater than the fluctuating market value of the option securities or currencies. A Fund receives a premium for writing a call or put option, which is recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options. There is a

risk of loss from a change in the value of such options, which may exceed the related premiums received. Transactions involving written options contracts for the Funds during the year ended December 31, 2008 are summarized below:

4.  Federal Income Taxes:
 
  a)  Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of their taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. The Funds have distributed substantially all of their income and capital gains in prior years and each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains prior to the next fiscal year end. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distribution for federal income tax purposes.
 
  b)  Net investment income (loss ) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of wash sale transactions, amortization adjustments, and differing tax treatment for investments in PFICs, derivatives, REITs, RICs, and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds.
 
  c)  The tax character of distributions paid for the periods indicated is as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable):

   *  Certain Funds had capital loss carryforwards that are identified in Note 4 (e).
 
  The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of wash sales losses, the mark-to-market adjustment for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Sec. 1256, mark to market of Passive Foreign Investment Companies and basis differences in real estate investment trusts.
 
  d)  Reclassification of Capital Accounts:
 
In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, the Funds have recorded reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on the NAV of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting for such items as net operating losses that reduce distribution requirements. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of a Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below.

  d)  Other Related Party Transactions — Certain officers of the Funds are directors and/or officers of HL Advisors, Hartford Investment Management and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2008, a portion of the Funds’ chief compliance officer’s salary was paid by the Funds in the amount of $119. Hartford Investment Services Company LLC (“HISC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to the Funds. HISC was compensated $65 for providing such services. The Funds accrue these fees daily and pay monthly.
 
  e)  Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated to each Fund and allocated to classes within a Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of each Fund and class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to the Fund or to specific classes within a Fund.
 
  f)  Fees Paid Indirectly — The Funds have entered into agreements with State Street Global Advisors, LLC and Frank Russell Securities, Inc. to partially recapture non-discounted trade commissions. Such rebates are used to pay a portion of the Funds’ expenses. In addition, the Funds’ custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the Funds maintain cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended December 31, 2008, these amounts are included in the Statements of Operations.
 
The ratio of expenses to average net assets in the accompanying financial highlights excludes the reduction in expenses related to fees paid indirectly. Had the fees paid indirectly been included, the annualized expense ratio for the periods listed below would have been as follows:

  (b)  From March 31, 2008 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008.
 
  g)  Distribution Plan for Class IB shares — All Funds with Class IB shares have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Class IB shares. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, each Fund is authorized to compensate the Distributor, Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. (a wholly owned, ultimate subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”)) from assets attributable to the Class IB shares for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Class IB shares, subject to the Fund Board’s review and approval.
 
The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund may pay annually up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to its Class IB shares for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class IB shares. The Board has the authority to suspend or reduce these payments at any point in time. Under the terms of the Distribution Plan and the principal underwriting agreement, each Fund is authorized to make payments monthly to the Distributor which may be used to pay or reimburse entities providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Class IB shares for such entities’ fees or expenses incurred or paid in that regard. The Funds’ distribution fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
  h)  Payment from (to) Affiliate — The Funds are available for purchase by the separate accounts of different variable universal life policies, variable annuity products, and funding agreements and they are offered directly to certain qualified retirement plans (collectively “Products”). Although existing Products contain transfer restrictions, some Products, particularly older variable annuity products, do not contain restrictions on the frequency of transfers. In addition, as the result of the settlement of litigation against Hartford Life, Inc. (“Hartford Life”) (the issuer of such variable annuity products), the Funds’ ability to restrict transfers by certain owners of older variable annuity products was limited. During 2006, these annuity owners surrendered the older variable annuity contracts that were the subject of prior litigation. In February 2005, Hartford Life agreed with the Board of Directors of the Funds to indemnify the Funds for any material harm caused to the Funds from frequent trading by these contract owners.
 
On November 8, 2006, the SEC issued an order setting forth the terms of a settlement reached with three subsidiaries of The Hartford that resolves the SEC’s Division of Enforcement’s investigation of aspects of The Hartford’s variable annuity and mutual fund operations related to directed brokerage and revenue sharing. Under the terms of the settlement, The Hartford paid a total of $39.6 million to the Funds. These amounts were recorded on November 8, 2006 and paid on November 22, 2006. The Hartford settled this matter without admitting or denying the findings of the SEC.
 
On April 20, 2007, Hartford MidCap Growth HLS Fund was reimbursed $114 in trading reimbursements relating to the change in portfolio managers of the Fund.
 
On May 2, 2007, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund was reimbursed $2,514 in trading reimbursements relating to the change in portfolio managers of the Fund.
 
On June 8, 2007, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund was reimbursed $486 in regard to incorrect IPO allocations to the Fund.

8.  Line of Credit:
 
The Funds, except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, participate in a $1 billion committed revolving line of credit facility. The facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the arrangement, the Funds are required to own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also requires a fee to be paid based on the amount of the commitment. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any borrowings under this facility.
 
9.  Participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds:
 
The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. has approved the participation of Hartford Money Market HLS Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program (the “Program”) for money market funds.
 
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Program provides that investors in the Fund will receive $1.00 for each Fund share held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 in the event that the Fund closes at a NAV below $1.00 per share (a “guarantee event”). The Program only covers the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. Participation in the Program is expected to provide direct benefits to current shareholders that were shareholders as of September 19, 2008 and indirect benefits to all current shareholders by supporting the stability of the Fund’s asset level.
 
Accordingly, any purchase of shares of the Fund for a new account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 and any increase in the number of shares of the Fund held in an account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be covered by the Program. In the event that shares held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 are sold prior to the date of a guarantee event, the shares covered by the guarantee will be the lesser of (i) the amounts held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or (ii) the amounts held in the Fund on the date of a guarantee event.
 
The cost to participate in the Program will be borne by the Fund without regard to any fee waiver and/or any expense limitation or reimbursement currently in effect for the Fund and is, therefore, borne by all shareholders of the Fund whether or not their shares are covered by the Program. Currently, assets available to the Program to support all participating money market funds do not exceed $50 billion and the Secretary of the Treasury may extend the Program up through the close of business on September 18, 2009.
 
On November 24, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department extended the Program until April 30, 2009. The Program still continues to cover only the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever

is less. The Board has approved the continued participation of the Fund in the Program. The cost to participate in the Program will continue to be borne by the Fund.
 
10.  Money Market HLS Fund Support Agreement:
 
The HLS Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) has entered into a Capital Support Agreement, dated September 26, 2008, and amended October 8, 2008 (the “CSA”) with HL Advisors and its affiliate Hartford Life, Inc. (“Hartford Life”). Under the terms of the CSA, Hartford Life has agreed to provide support of up to a maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million for the Fund’s holdings of certain securities specified in the CSA (the “Notes”). The Notes held in the Fund as of December 31, 2008 are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
 
The CSA provides that Hartford Life will pay a capital contribution to the Fund if a “Contribution Event” occurs prior to an event terminating the CSA. The contribution amount would be the lesser of: (1) the amount sufficient for the Fund to maintain its market-based calculation of NAV at $0.9950 (which rounds to an NAV of $1.00), after giving effect to the contribution and payments received by the Fund in respect of the Notes; (2) the amount of the loss on the Notes, which is the excess of the amortized cost of the Notes, less deduction of any commissions or similar transaction cost, and any amount received by the Fund in connection with the Contribution Event; and (3) the maximum contribution amount under the CSA, which is $33.6 million for any and all contributions under the CSA.
 
The CSA defines a “Contribution Event” as any of the following occurrences: (1) any sale of the Note for cash in an amount, after deduction of any commissions or similar transaction costs, less than the amortized cost value of the Note sold as of the date of the settlement; (2) the receipt of final payment on the Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; (3) the issuance of orders by a court having jurisdiction over the matter discharging the issuer from liability for the Note and providing for payments on that Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; or (4) the receipt of any security or other instruments in exchange for, or as replacement of, the Note as a result of an exchange offer, debt restructuring, reorganization or similar transaction pursuant to which the Note is exchanged for, or replaced with, new securities of the issuer or third party and such new securities are or become “Eligible Securities,” as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and have a value that is less than the amortized cost of the Note on the date that the Fund receives such new securities.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2008, after the receipt of verbal “no-action” assurance provided by the staff of the SEC, the parties to the CSA have entered into an amendment that permits the CSA to continue despite the fact that Hartford Life’s obligations, effective February 9, 2009, no longer qualify as “First Tier” securities, as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The amendment requires that Hartford Life establish an escrow account to support its potential future obligations under the CSA. The minimum balance of the escrow account is $725 (which was set equal to the aggregate unrealized loss on the Notes as of February 23, 2009), and the balance may periodically be adjusted based on the fair value of the Notes and the NAV of the Fund.
 
The CSA will terminate (unless the parties agree to an extension) on the earliest of the following dates: (1) September 26, 2009; (2) if and when all of the Notes are repaid in full; and (3) if and when Hartford Life has made capital contributions, in the aggregate, equal to the maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million. Any extension would require approval of the SEC staff. In light of the terms of the CSA, the current and historical market value of the Notes and the net asset value of the Fund, it is possible that no capital contribution would be required even if the Fund were to realize a loss with respect to the Notes. The CSA applies only with respect to the Notes and does not guarantee that the Fund will maintain a stable NAV under all conditions. Apart from the CSA, Hartford Life has not undertaken nor is it obligated to provide support with respect to the Fund’s NAV.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not receive a capital contribution under the terms of the CSA.
 
The fair value of the CSA may increase or decrease as a result of changes in the fair value of the Notes and other factors. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of the CSA was zero, as noted in the Schedule of Investments.
 
11.  Fund Mergers
 
Reorganization of certain series of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. At a special meeting of shareholders, held on August 12, 2008, shareholders of Hartford Global Communications HLS Fund, Hartford Global Financial Services HLS Fund and Hartford Global Technology HLS Fund approved a proposed Plan of Reorganization providing for the acquisition of all of the assets and liabilities of Hartford Global Communications HLS Fund, Hartford Global Financial Services HLS Fund and Hartford Global Technology HLS Fund by Hartford Global Equity HLS Fund.
 
Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, and pursuant to the approval by shareholders of Hartford Global Communications HLS Fund, Hartford Global Financial Services HLS Fund and Hartford Global Technology HLS Fund, the assets were acquired by Hartford Global Equity HLS Fund on August 22, 2008. Hartford Global Equity HLS Fund acquired the assets of Hartford Global Communications HLS Fund, Hartford Global Financial Services HLS Fund and Hartford Global Technology HLS Fund in exchange for shares in Hartford Global Equity HLS Fund, which were distributed pro rata by Hartford Global Communications HLS Fund, Hartford Global Financial Services HLS Fund and Hartford Global Technology HLS Fund to shareholders on August 22, 2008, in complete liquidation of Hartford Global Communications HLS Fund, Hartford Global Financial Services HLS Fund and Hartford Global Technology HLS Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and
Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Hartford Advisers HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Equity Income HLS Fund, Hartford Fundamental Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Global Advisers HLS Fund, Hartford Global Equity HLS Fund, Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Global Health HLS Fund, Hartford Growth HLS Fund, Hartford High Yield HLS Fund, Hartford Index HLS Fund, Hartford International Growth HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford International Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap Value HLS Fund, Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, and Hartford Value HLS Fund (twenty-three of the thirty-four portfolios constituting Hartford Series Fund, Inc.) and Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford LargeCap Growth HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap Growth HLS Fund, Hartford SmallCap Growth HLS Fund, Hartford SmallCap Value HLS Fund, Hartford U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund, and Hartford Value Opportunities HLS Fund (seven portfolios constituting Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc.) (collectively, the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from agent banks or brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above constituting portfolios within Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. at December 31, 2008, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
 
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
 
 
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements after an initial two year period.
 
At a meeting held on August 5-6, 2008, the Boards of Directors (the “Board”) of the Funds, including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the investment management agreement for each Fund with an agreement up for renewal with HL Investment Advisors, LLC (“HL Advisors”), and the investment sub-advisory agreements between HL Advisors and each Fund’s respective sub-adviser(s) (“Sub-advisers,” and together with HL Advisors, “Advisers”) — Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”), Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC, Metropolitan West Capital Management, LLC, SSgA Funds Management, Inc., and Wellington Management Company, LLP (collectively, the “Agreements”). In the months preceding this meeting, the Board requested, received, and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to them on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about each Fund and the related Agreements by Fund officers and representatives of HL Advisors at the Board’s meetings on June 24-25, 2008 and August 5-6, 2008. In considering the approval of the Agreements, the Board also took into account information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, including reports on Fund performance, compliance, shareholder services, and the other services provided to the Funds by the Advisers, and their affiliates.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel. In addition, the Independent Directors engaged two service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund. Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how each Fund’s management fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios, and investment performance compared to those of mutual funds with similar investment objectives in various peer groups (“Peer Funds”). The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consulting firm (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating each Fund’s management fees, sub-advisory fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance.
 
The Board considered the Agreements for each Fund at the June and August meetings. In determining to continue the Agreements for each Fund, the Board determined that the proposed management fee structure for each Fund was fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In determining to renew the Agreements, the Board considered the following categories of material factors, among others, relating to the Agreements.
 
Nature, Extent And Quality Of Services
 
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements, the range of services provided, and the Advisers’ organizational structure, systems and personnel.1( The Board received information on the experience of senior management and relevant investment and other personnel of the Advisers, and the adequacy of the time and attention devoted by them to the Funds. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as its commitment to expand the resources devoted to supporting Fund operations and to continuously evaluate whether additional support is needed, particularly in light of increased regulatory requirements and other developments. In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board, and responsiveness to Board inquiries.
 
The Board also requested and reviewed information on each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, compliance history, and a report from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer on each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators. In doing so, the Board noted the Advisers’ support of the Funds’ compliance control structure, particularly the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
With respect to HL Advisors, the Board noted that under the Agreements, HL Advisors is responsible for the management of each Fund, including overseeing fund operations and service providers, and it or Hartford Life provides administrative services to the Funds as well as the investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising sub-advisers. The Board considered its experiences with HL Advisors and, for certain Funds, Hartford Life, with respect to each of these services. The Board considered that HL Advisors or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Funds’ officers and paying their salaries and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by HL Advisors’ affiliates.
 
With respect to the Sub-advisers, who provide day-to-day portfolio management services, the Board considered the quality of each Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, their ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, their investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by HL Advisors and each of the Sub-advisers.
 
Performance of the Funds, HL Advisors, and the Sub-Advisers
 
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In this regard, the Board considered information and materials provided to the Board from HL Advisors and Lipper comparing each Fund’s short-term and long-term investment performance over various periods of time with appropriate benchmark indices, and with a performance universe of funds selected by Lipper. This information included performance reports (provided by Lipper and HL Advisors) and discussions with portfolio managers and other representatives of the Sub-advisers at Board meetings throughout the year, as well as the information provided especially for the annual contract review. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.
 
 
(1 Certain Funds have entered into investment management agreements with HL Advisors under which HL Advisors provides investment advisory and certain administrative services to those Funds. Other Funds have entered into investment management agreements with HL Advisors for investment advisory services, and a separate administrative agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company (“Hartford Life”), under which Hartford Life provides certain administrative services to those Funds. For those Funds that have separate management and administrative agreements, the Board considered the fees payable under both agreements in the aggregate.

The Board considered HL Advisors’ cooperation with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of the Funds at periodic meetings throughout the year.
 
The Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over the different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated each Adviser’s analysis of the Funds’ performance for these time periods, with specific attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Funds for specific time periods relative to a peer group or benchmark, and the causes for such underperformance. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Board also considered whether the Fund had been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful performance track record. The Board also noted HL Advisors’ initiatives over the course of the year to improve Fund performance, including management’s action to institute portfolio manager changes for several Funds.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the Fund’s performance over time has been satisfactory, and that it had continued confidence in HL Advisors’ and the Sub-advisers’ overall capabilities to manage each Fund.
 
Costs of the Services and Profitability
 
The Board reviewed information regarding HL Advisors’ cost to provide investment management and related services to the Funds and HL Advisors’ profitability, both overall and for each Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HL Advisors and its affiliates from all services provided to the Funds and all aspects of their relationship with the Funds.
 
With respect to those Funds which are sub-advised by Hartford Investment Management, an affiliate of HL Advisors, the Board considered the costs and profitability information for HL Advisors and Hartford Investment Management in the aggregate. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the other Sub-advisers. In evaluating such Sub-advisers’ profitability with respect to the Funds, the Board considered primarily HL Advisors’ and the Sub-advisers’ representations that HL Advisors had negotiated the sub-advisory fees at arm’s-length, and the Sub-advisers’ representations that the fees charged to HL Advisors were comparable to fees charged by the Sub-advisers to similar clients.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds would not be excessive.
 
Comparison of Fees and Expenses
 
The Board considered comparative information with respect to the investment management fees to be paid by each Fund to HL Advisors and the total expense ratios of each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HL Advisors and each Sub-adviser relating to the management fees and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed written materials from Lipper providing comparative information about each Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios relative to those of peer groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Funds and Peer Funds are imprecise, given the differing service levels and characteristics of mutual funds, and the different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Lipper assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s management fees and total operating expenses.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board noted in particular its agreement with HL Advisors with respect to the following matters: (i) the implementation of permanent breakpoints to reduce management fees with respect to certain Funds; (ii) the implementation of a permanent reduction in the contractual management fee for Money Market HLS Fund; and (iii) revision of the contractual fee waiver for Money Market HLS Fund. In its deliberations, the Board gave significant weight to each Fund’s overall expense ratio, net of these revisions. HL Advisors agreed to the following fee revisions, each effective January 1, 2009:
 
  •  Permanent breakpoint reductions:
 
HL Advisors agreed to implement permanent breakpoints to the following Funds’ fee schedules to reduce management fees by 0.0025% at $5 billion and an additional 0.0025% at $10 billion: Advisers HLS Fund, Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Equity Income HLS Fund, Fundamental Growth HLS Fund, Global Advisers HLS Fund, Global Equity HLS Fund, Global Growth HLS Fund, Global Health HLS Fund, Growth HLS Fund, Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, International Growth HLS Fund, International Opportunities HLS Fund, International Small Company HLS Fund, MidCap HLS Fund, MidCap Value HLS Fund, SmallCap Value HLS Fund, Stock HLS Fund, Value HLS Fund, Value Opportunities HLS Fund
 
HL Advisors agreed to implement permanent breakpoints to the following Funds’ fee schedules to reduce management fees by 0.02% at $5 billion and an additional 0.01% at $10 billion:
 
LargeCap Growth HLS Fund, MidCap Growth HLS Fund, Small Company HLS Fund, SmallCap Growth HLS Fund
 
  •  Money Market HLS Fund:  HL Advisors agreed to a permanent reduction in the fee rate on the first $2 billion of assets by 0.05%, which reduced the overall contractual management fees (on a weighted basis) by 0.028%. In addition, HL Advisors eliminated its 0.05% voluntary management fee waiver.
 
Based on these considerations, and the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses are reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale
 
The Board requested and considered information regarding the Advisers’ realization of economies of scale with respect to the Funds, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund’s investors. With respect to HL Advisors, the Board considered representations from HL Advisors that it is difficult to anticipate whether and the extent to which economies may be realized by HL Advisors as assets grow over time. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for each Fund, which reduces fees as Fund assets grow over time. The Board recognized that Funds with assets beyond the last breakpoint level continue to benefit from economies of scale, because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee, resulting in lower overall effective management fee rates. The Board considered that certain Funds may achieve some economies as certain fixed expenses are spread over a larger asset

­ ­  231  ­ ­

Expense Example (Unaudited) — (continued)
 
base, noting that there is no precise way to measure such economies, and that certain expenses do not necessarily decrease as assets increase. The Board also considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce Fund expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders, and that a schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale.
 
The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Lipper showing how management fee schedules of Peer Funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of investors as a Peer Fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HL Advisors, Lipper, and the Consultant, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints, or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.
 
After considering all of the information available to it, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of each Fund’s investors, based on currently available information and the effective advisory fees and expense ratios for the Funds at their current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor future growth in Fund assets and the appropriateness of additional breakpoints.
 
Other Benefits
 
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the role of the Funds in supporting the variable life insurance and variable annuity products offered by The Hartford. The Board reviewed information noting that Hartford Life, an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives fees from certain Funds for providing certain administrative services for those Funds, and that Hartford Life also receives fees for fund accounting and related services from each of the Funds, and the Board considered information on expected profits to Hartford Life or its affiliates for such services.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Investor Services Company, LLC (“HISC”), the Funds’ transfer agent and an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives transfer agency compensation from the Funds, and the Board reviewed information on the expected profitability of the Funds’ transfer agency function to HISC. The Board considered information provided by HL Advisors indicating that the fees charged by HISC to the Funds are reasonable and in line with industry standards.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc., as principal underwriter of the Funds, receives 12b-1 fees from the Funds. The Board also noted that certain affiliates of HL Advisors distribute shares of the Funds and receive compensation in that connection.
 
The Board considered benefits to the Sub-advisers from their proposed use of the Funds’ brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research, and representations from HL Advisors and the Sub-advisers that the Sub-advisers would not be making revenue-sharing or other payments to HL Advisors or its affiliates in connection with the distribution of the Funds.
 
The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the Hartford family of funds. The Board considered HL Advisors’ efforts to provide investors in the family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes, and its entrepreneurial risk in initiating new Funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.
 
* * * *
 
Based upon its review of these various factors, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders for the Board to approve the Agreements for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately in executive session on several occasions, with independent legal counsel, to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.
 
Hartford SmallCap Value HLS Fund
 
On October 3, 2008, Wachovia Corporation (“Wachovia”), the indirect parent company of Metropolitan West Capital Management, LLC (“MetWest Capital”), and Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”) announced that Wells Fargo had agreed to purchase Wachovia. MetWest Capital is a sub-adviser to Hartford SmallCap Value HLS Fund (the “Fund”). Wachovia and Wells Fargo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on October 3, 2008 that provides for Wachovia to merge into Wells Fargo, with Wells Fargo as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Wachovia and Wells Fargo entered into a Share Exchange Agreement on October 3, 2008. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, Wachovia agreed to issue preferred shares to Wells Fargo representing a 39.9% voting interest in Wachovia. Wachovia issued the preferred shares to Wells Fargo after the close of business on October 20, 2008.
 
Due to its ownership of preferred shares, Wells Fargo may be deemed to control MetWest Capital. If Wells Fargo is deemed to control MetWest Capital, then the existing investment sub-advisory agreement between HL Investment Advisors, LLC (“HL Advisors”) and MetWest Capital (the “Original Agreement”) with respect to the Fund would have terminated automatically in connection with the issuance of preferred shares. To address this possibility, at a special telephonic meeting held on October 20, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to terminate the Original Agreement and approve an interim investment sub-advisory agreement between HL Advisors and MetWest Capital (the “Interim Agreement”) with respect to the Fund in reliance on Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Interim Agreement became effective upon the issuance of the preferred shares and was in effect until the Board formally approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement at an in-person meeting held on November 6, 2008 (the “New Agreement”).
 
In approving both the Interim Agreement and the New Agreement, the Board relied on information previously provided by HL Advisors and MetWest Capital in connection with the annual contract review on August 5-6, 2008, and the information provided to the Board at the October 20, 2008 and November 6, 2008 meetings, including information relating to the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by HL Advisors and MetWest Capital; the investment performance of the Fund and MetWest Capital; the costs of the services to be provided and profitability of HL Advisors and MetWest Capital; comparisons of fees and services provided by HL Advisors and MetWest Capital; and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board noted that the Interim Agreement and the New Agreement were substantially identical to the Original Agreement, including in each case with respect to fees payable to MetWest Capital. In addition, at the October 20, 2008 and November 6,

2008 meetings, the Board received information concerning both the issuance of the preferred shares and the Merger. In this regard, the Board noted the assurances by MetWest Capital to HL Advisors that neither the issuance of preferred shares nor the Merger would affect the day-to-day management of the Fund or the personnel responsible for the management of the Fund, and that the sub-advisory services provided by MetWest Capital will not change in any material way as a result of the change of control.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the Interim Agreement and the New Agreement. The Board based its decisions to approve the Interim Agreement and the New Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and other relevant factors. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel, and considered their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

1.  Organization:
 
The Hartford HLS Funds serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (“HLIC”) and certain qualified retirement plans. Certain Hartford HLS Funds may also serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the accompanying variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the funds permitted by their plans.
 
Hartford Series Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company comprised of thirty-four portfolios; eleven of which are included in these financial statements (each a “Fund” or together the “Funds”). The Funds are American Funds Asset Allocation HLS Fund, American Funds Blue Chip Income and Growth HLS Fund, American Funds Bond HLS Fund, American Funds Global Bond HLS Fund, American Funds Global Growth and Income HLS Fund, American Funds Global Growth HLS Fund, American Funds Global Small Capitalization HLS Fund, American Funds Growth HLS Fund, American Funds Growth-Income HLS Fund, American Funds International HLS Fund and American Funds New World HLS Fund. The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company, except for American Funds Global Bond HLS Fund, which is non-diversified.
 
The Funds operate in the manner of Fund of Funds, investing in shares of an underlying mutual fund (the “Underlying Fund”). Each Underlying Fund is offered by American Funds Insurance Series, and is a registered open-end investment company. The Funds and their related Underlying Funds are listed below:

The Underlying Funds’ accounting policies are outlined in the Underlying Funds’ annual reports, which accompany this report.
 
Class IB shares are offered at per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge and are subject to distribution fees charged pursuant to Distribution and Service Plans. These Distribution and Service Plans have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
 
  a)  Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
  b)  Security Valuation — Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the respective NAV of each Underlying Fund on the valuation date. Valuation of securities held by the Underlying Funds is discussed in Note 2(b) of the Underlying Funds’ Notes to Financial Statements, which are included in the Underlying Funds’ annual report, accompanying this report.
 
  c)  Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Funds’ shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders or plan participants. The NAV of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). The NAV is determined for the class of each Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of a Fund’s shares received by an insurance company or plan prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received by an insurance company or plan after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
 
Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Funds’ Board of Directors based upon the investment performance of the Funds. The policy of all Funds is to pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains, if any, at least once a year.
 
Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing. Permanent book and federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Funds’ capital accounts (see Note 3(d)).

  d)  Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates.
 
  e)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Upon commencement of operations, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
 
       •     Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, certain foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETF’s), repurchase agreements and rights and warrants.
 
       •     Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities, whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost.
 
       •     Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker-quoted securities, long dated over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price.
 
Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than that presented above as individual circumstances dictate.
 
FAS 157 also requires that a rollforward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3. For purposes of this reconciliation, transfers in are shown at the end of period fair value and transfers out are shown at the beginning of period fair value.
 
Refer to the valuation hierarchy levels summaries found following the Schedules of Investments.
 
  f)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires companies to disclose information detailing the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the level of derivative activity entered into by the company and any credit risk-related contingent features of the agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and has not yet implemented the new disclosure standard.
 
  g)  Indemnifications:  Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland Corporate Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Company, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
3.  Federal Income Taxes:
 
  a)  Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of their taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains prior to the next fiscal year end. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distribution for federal income tax purposes.

  b)  Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of wash sale transactions, differing tax treatment for investments in RICs. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds.
 
  c)  The tax character of distributions paid for the period indicated is as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable):

  d)  Reclassification of Capital Accounts:
 
In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, the Funds have recorded reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on the NAV of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting for such items as net operating losses that reduce distribution requirements. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of a Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital

  e)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 — On July 13, 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 for open tax year ended December 31, 2008 and has determined there is no impact to the Funds’ financial statements.
 
4.  Expenses:
 
  a)  Investment Management and Advisory Agreements — HL Investment Advisors, LLC (HL Advisors), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hartford, serves as investment manager to the Funds pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Company. As investment manager, HL Advisors has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, HL Advisors provides administrative personnel, services, equipment and facilities and office space for proper operation of the Funds.

  HL Advisors has entered into an agreement under which it will waive a portion of its investment management and advisory fee with respect to each Fund for as long as that Fund is invested in its corresponding Underlying Fund. The net investment management and advisory fee under the agreement with HL Advisors, after giving effect to the waiver, is 0.25% of the average daily net assets for each Fund.

These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
  d)  Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses of the Funds are charged to each Fund based on the ratio of the average net assets of each Fund to the combined average net assets of the Hartford HLS Funds. Non-allocable expenses are charged to each Fund based on specific identification.
 
  e)  Distribution Plan for Class IB shares — The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Class IB shares. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, each Fund is authorized to compensate the Distributor, Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. (a wholly owned, ultimate subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Hartford Series Fund, Inc.
 
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of American Funds Asset Allocation HLS Fund, American Funds Blue Chip Income and Growth HLS Fund, American Funds Bond HLS Fund, American Funds Global Bond HLS Fund, American Funds Global Growth HLS Fund, American Funds Global Growth and Income HLS Fund, American Funds Global Small Capitalization HLS Fund, American Funds Growth HLS Fund, American Funds Growth-Income HLS Fund, American Funds International HLS Fund, American Funds New World HLS Fund (eleven of the thirty-four portfolios constituting Hartford Series Fund, Inc.) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from April 30, 2008 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above constituting portfolios within Hartford Series Fund, Inc. at December 31, 2008, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from April 30, 2008 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
 
 
Your Fund’s Expenses
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period of June 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
 
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

MSCI World Growth Index is a broad-based unmanaged market capitalization-weighted total return index which measures the performance of growth securities in 23 developed-country global equity markets including the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East.
You cannot invest directly in an index.
The chart represents a hypothetical investment in the Fund. Performance data represents past performance and current performance could be higher or lower.
Investment goal — Seeks growth of capital.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
 
(1)   Growth of a $10,000 investment in Class IB shares will vary from the results seen on this page due to differences in the expense charged to this share class.
(2)   Performance for the periods when fee waivers were in place would have been lower in the absence of the waivers.
The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. The chart and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio shares. The figures do not include sales charges or other fees which may be applied at the variable life insurance, variable annuity or qualified retirement plan product level. Any such additional sales charges or other fees would lower the Fund’s performance.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund returned -52.46% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World Growth Index, which returned -40.90% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -43.56% return of the average fund in the Lipper Global Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Global equity markets fell during the period amid ongoing turmoil in global credit markets and accelerating deterioration in the housing, employment, and credit markets in the U.S., driving slower global economic growth. In this environment, the MSCI World Growth Index
(-40.9%) modestly outperformed the MSCI World Value Index (-39.8%). Returns within the MSCI World Growth Index were significantly negative across all sectors. Financials (-53.3%), Energy (-53.0%), and Materials (-51.3%) fell the most, while traditionally defensive sectors like Health Care (-23.8%) and Consumer Staples (-23.5%) declined the least.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the MSCI World Growth Index was primarily driven by security selection. Selection was weakest in the Financials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. This was partially offset by positive stock selection in Materials and Energy. Sector allocation, which is a residual of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) security selection, also detracted from relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance. The Fund’s underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) to Consumer Staples and overweights (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to Energy and Financials hurt benchmark-relative returns.
The top detractors from the Fund’s relative performance were Lehman Brothers (Financials), Electronic Arts (Information Technology), and Las Vegas Sands (Consumer Discretionary). Lehman Brothers, a U.S.-based investment bank, filed for bankruptcy in September as its exposure to mortgage-related securities caused asset write-downs and a liquidity crunch. Although we sold our holdings prior to the company’s
 
  1  


Table of Contents

 
bankruptcy due to concerns over the firm’s liquidity and solvency, the position was still a negative contributor. Video game company Electronic Arts reported an annual profit outlook that fell short of expectations as a drive to improve the quality of its products increased its costs, pushing the company’s shares lower. Shares of Las Vegas Sands, a developer and operator of hotel, gaming, and resort businesses, fell due to disappointing earnings. Other significant detractors from relative and absolute (i.e. total return) returns included beverage company Carlsberg (Consumer Staples) and solar products producer SunPower (Industrials).
MetroPCS Communications (Telecommunication Services), Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), and Gilead Sciences (Health Care) were the leading contributors to benchmark-relative performance. Shares of wireless service provider MetroPCS Communications benefited from potential opportunities for growth as consumers shift to low-cost wireless plans. Shares of the Israel-based drug manufacturer Teva rose after the company reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings driven by strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone. Biotechnology company Gilead benefited from its market-leadership position in HIV and AIDS treatments. Top absolute contributors included telecommunications and media provider Softbank (Telecommunication Services), media company Comcast (Consumer Discretionary), and German insurance company Munich Re (Financials).
What is the outlook?
Portfolio construction is a bottom-up process based on intensive company research. Allocations among sectors are the result of individual stock decisions. At the end of the period, our stock-by-stock investment process resulted in greater-than-benchmark weights in Telecommunication Services, Health Care, Financials, Energy, Information Technology, and Industrials. The Fund held less-than-benchmark weights in Materials, Utilities, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples names. Exposure to Health Care increased during the year as we found companies we believe offer attractive valuations and that should perform relatively well in a difficult economic environment. Top positions at the end of December included pharmaceutical company Wyeth and Israeli generic drug company Teva Pharmaceuticals.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund returned -45.66% for the one year period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which returned -38.44% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -42.50% return of the average fund in the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?

The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a positive start to the year, the global equity markets stumbled on credit crunch related issues such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a potential U.S. recession, equity investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity securities broadly.
Large (-37%), mid (-36%), and small (-34%) cap stocks declined in unison during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 , S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. Both Growth (-38%) and Value (-37%) stocks also declined, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value indices. Within the Russell 3000 Growth Index, all sectors posted sharp negative returns led by Financials (-51%), Energy (-50%), and Materials (-47%). The sectors that declined the least

in this environment were Consumer Staples (-16%) and Health Care (-26%).
The Fund underperformed its benchmark due to weak security selection, particularly in the Health Care, Consumer Staples, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Sector weight positioning, the result of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection decisions, had a negative impact on benchmark-relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance primarily due to an underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position in Consumer Staples, which outperformed on a relative basis.
The top detractors from benchmark-relative returns were Focus Media (Consumer Discretionary), SunTech Power (Industrials) and SunPower (Industrials). We did not own Wal-Mart Stores (Consumer Staples) which also detracted from relative returns given the stock’s strong performance during the period. Shares of China-based digital advertising company Focus Media trended lower due to concerns about management changes, accounting practices, and mobile spamming. Shares in solar energy manufacturer SunTech Power declined due to lower demand for solar equipment, high inventory levels and the expected decline in ASP (average selling price) of its Photovoltaic (PV) products due to devaluation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. Solar cell and panel maker SunPower’s shares also declined due to management’s guidance for lower profits due to currency weakness. Other top detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) returns included two Information Technology stocks, video game maker Electronic Arts and Blackberry device manufacturer Research In Motion.
Top contributors to relative returns included Cephalon (Health Care), Shionogi (Health Care) and Aecom Technology (Industrials). Biotechnology stock Cephalon delivered better-than-expected earnings on strength in the company’s cancer treatment and nervous system drug businesses. Japanese pharmaceutical company Shionogi’s shares increased due to better-than-expected sales of Crestor, a cholesterol-lowering drug marketed by AstraZeneca. Shares of Aecom Technology, a global provider of professional technical and management support services, increased during the period due to strong earnings and backlog gains supported by solid growth across segments and geographies. Other top contributors to absolute returns included European airline company Ryanair (Industrials) and consumer electronics retailer Best Buy (Consumer Discretionary).
What is the outlook?
An uncertain global economic outlook together with unpredictable and volatile equity markets have inflicted wounds that will take time to heal. Leverage and illiquidity are exacerbating the situation, creating in many cases what we see as a disconnect between fundamentals and valuation. As always, we continue to focus our research efforts on identifying stocks of companies whose future growth is under-priced in our opinion. At the end of the period, our bottom-up decisions resulted in overweights (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) in Financials, Industrials and Health Care and underweights in Consumer Staples, Information Technology and Energy relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
(000’s Omitted)
 
1.  Organization:
 
The Hartford HLS Funds serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (“HLIC”) and certain qualified retirement plans. Certain Hartford HLS Funds may also serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the accompanying variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the funds permitted by their plans.
 
Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. (each a “Company” or together the “Companies”) are open-end management investment companies comprised of forty-one portfolios. Three portfolios are included in these financial statements. They are Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, and Hartford Money Market HLS Fund (each a “Fund” or together the “Funds”).
 
The Companies are organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as diversified open-end management investment companies.
 
Each Fund is divided into Class IA and Class IB shares. Each class is offered at the per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge and is subject to the same expenses, except that the Class IB shares are subject to distribution fees charged pursuant to Distribution and Service Plans. These Distribution and Service Plans have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
 
  a)  Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
 
Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis.
 
  b)  Security Valuation — Except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, the Funds generally use market prices in valuing portfolio securities. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the security as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of that Fund’s Board of Directors. Market prices may be deemed unreliable, for example, if a security is thinly traded or if an event has occurred after the close of the security’s primary markets, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, referred to as the “Valuation Time”) that is expected to affect the value of the portfolio security. The circumstances in which a Fund may use fair value pricing include, among others: (i) the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructuring or defaults; (ii) the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or governmental actions; (iii) trading restrictions on securities; (iv) thinly traded securities and (v) market events such as trading halts and early market closings. In addition, with respect to the valuation of stocks primarily traded on foreign markets, each Fund uses a fair value pricing service approved by that Fund’s Board of Directors, which employs quantitative models which evaluate changes in the value of foreign market proxies (e.g., futures contracts, ADR’s, ETF’s) after the close of the foreign markets but before the close of the Exchange. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the NAV of their respective shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is primarily traded but before the close of the Exchange. There can be no assurance that any Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if the Fund were to sell the security at approximately the time at which that Fund determines its NAV.
 
Debt securities (other than short-term obligations and senior floating rate interests) held by the Funds are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units of debt securities. Senior floating rate interests generally trade in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and are priced through an independent pricing service utilizing independent market quotations from loan dealers or financial institutions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities in accordance with procedures established by that Fund’s Board of Directors. Generally, each Fund may use fair valuation in regard to debt securities when a Fund holds defaulted or distressed securities or securities in a company in which a reorganization is pending. Short-term investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased are valued based on market quotations until the remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. The Hartford Money Market HLS Fund’s investments and investments of other Funds that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Exchange traded equity securities shall be valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded (the “Primary Market”) at the Valuation Time. If the security did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the Valuation Time at the last reported sale price on another exchange where it trades. The value of an equity security not traded on any exchange but traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) or another OTC market shall be valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is traded as of the Valuation Time. If it is not possible to determine the last reported sale price or official closing price on the relevant exchange

or market at the Valuation Time, the value of the security shall be taken to be the most recent mean between bid and asked prices on such exchange or market at the Valuation Time.
 
Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates.
 
Options contracts on securities, currencies, indexes, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments shall be valued at their most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on the Primary Market on which the instrument is traded. If the instrument did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on another exchange or market where it did trade.
 
Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. If a settlement price is not available, futures contracts will be valued at the most recent trade price as of the Valuation Time. If there were no trades, the contract shall be valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask prices as of the Valuation Time.
 
Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in securities in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
A forward currency contract shall be valued based on the price of the underlying currency at the prevailing interpolated exchange rate, which is a combination of the spot currency rate and the forward currency rate. Spot currency rates and forward currency rates are obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily basis not more than one hour before the Valuation Time.
 
Swaps are valued based on custom valuations furnished by an independent pricing service. Swaps for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
Other derivative or contractual type instruments shall be valued using market prices if such instruments trade on an exchange or market. If such instruments do not trade on an exchange or market, such instruments shall be valued at a price at which the counterparty to such contract would repurchase the instrument. In the event that the counterparty cannot provide a price, such valuation may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the valuation date.
 
  c)  Foreign Currency Transactions — The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
The Funds do not isolate that portion of portfolio security valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
 
  d)  Securities Lending — The Funds, except for the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, may lend their securities to certain qualified brokers who pay these Funds negotiated lender fees. The loans are fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or U.S. Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements. The cash collateral is then invested in short-term money market instruments. The repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Securities. The adequacy of the collateral for securities on loan is monitored on a daily basis. For instances where the market value of collateral falls below the market value of the securities out on loan, such collateral is supplemented on the following business day.
 
While securities are on loan, each Fund is subject to the following risks: 1) that the borrower may default on the loan and that the collateral could be inadequate in the event the borrower defaults, 2) that the earnings on the collateral invested may not be sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan, 3) that the principal value of the collateral invested may decline and may not be sufficient to pay back the borrower for the amount of the collateral posted, 4) that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale which may place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities, 5) that return of loaned securities could be delayed and could interfere with portfolio management decisions and 6) that any efforts to recall the securities for purposes of voting a proxy may not be effective. No Funds had securities on loan as of December 31, 2008.
 
  e)  Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”), or Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington”). These balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.
 
  f)  Repurchase Agreements — A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Funds enter into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies), including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities that serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by each Fund’s custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial account of the Funds or in a third party custodial account. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. Certain Funds, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  g)  Reverse Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio assets concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Reverse repurchase agreements carry the risk that the market value of the securities which a Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price. A

  reverse repurchase agreement is viewed as a collateralized borrowing by a Fund. Borrowing magnifies the potential for gain or loss on the portfolio securities of a Fund and, therefore, increases the possibility of a fluctuation in the Fund’s NAV. Reverse Repurchase Agreements are valued at proceeds plus accrued interest. There were no outstanding reverse repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  h)  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts that obligate the Funds to repurchase/replace or sell currencies at specified future dates. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies.
 
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain Funds as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had open forward foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
  i)  Indexed Securities — The Funds may invest in indexed securities whose values are linked to changes in interest rates, indices, or other underlying instruments. The Funds use these securities to increase or decrease their exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in using conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment and there may be a limit to the potential appreciation of the investment. Certain Funds had investments in indexed securities, as of December 31, 2008, as shown in the Schedule of Investments under Exchange Traded Funds.
 
  j)  Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Funds’ shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders or plan participants. The NAV of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the Exchange. The NAV is determined separately for each class of each Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of a Fund’s shares received by an insurance company or plan prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received by an insurance company or plan after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
 
Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Funds’ Board of Directors based upon the investment performance of the Funds. The policy of all Funds, except Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, is to pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains, if any, at least once a year.
 
Hartford Money Market HLS Fund seeks to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 by declaring a daily dividend from net investment income, including net short-term capital gains and losses, and by valuing its investments using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. Dividends are declared daily and distributed monthly.
 
Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing. These differences include foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales adjustments, related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies and certain derivatives, and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Funds’ capital accounts (see Note 4 (d)).
 
  k)  Illiquid and Restricted Securities — Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund which may invest up to 10% in such securities. “Illiquid Securities” are those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days, at approximately the price used to determine a Fund’s NAV. A Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities or other investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such securities or investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the securities or investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid securities or other investments may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of those that are liquid. Illiquid securities and investments also may be more difficult to value, due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such securities or investments, and investment in them may have an adverse impact on NAV. Each Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities, commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Funds’ Board of Directors. Certain Funds, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had illiquid or restricted securities as of December 31, 2008.
 
  l)  Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis — Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Funds on a forward commitment, or when-issued or delayed-delivery basis take place beyond the customary settlement period. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations, and the Funds identify securities segregated in their records with value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. As of December 31, 2008, none of these Funds had entered into outstanding when-issued or forward commitments.
 
  m)  Credit Risk — Credit risk depends largely on the perceived financial health of bond issuers. In general, lower rated bonds have higher credit risk. High yield bond prices can fall on bad news about the economy, an industry or a company. The share price, yield and total return of a Fund which holds securities with higher credit risk may fluctuate more than with less aggressive bond funds.
 
  n)  Senior Floating Rate Interests — Certain Funds may invest in senior floating rate interests. Senior floating rate interests hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured by specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. Senior floating rate interests are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the senior floating rate interest. Senior floating rate interests are typically rated below-investment-grade, which suggests they are more likely to default and generally pay higher interest rates than investment-grade loans. A default could lead to non-payment of income which would result in a reduction of income to the Fund and there can be no

  assurance that the liquidation of any collateral would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.
 
  o)  Prepayment Risks — Most senior floating rate interests and certain debt securities allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Senior floating rate interests and securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. In addition, with respect to securities, rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower than expected rate, thereby effectively lengthening the maturity of the security and making the security more sensitive to interest rate changes. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities and certain asset-backed securities. Accordingly, the potential for the value of a senior floating rate interest or debt security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. For certain asset-backed securities, the actual maturity may be less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments. As a result, the timing of income recognition relating to these securities may vary based upon the actual maturity.
 
Senior floating rate interests or debt securities purchased to replace a prepaid loan or a debt security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid loan or debt security. Senior floating rate interests generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for the Borrower to repay, prepayments of senior floating rate interests may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior floating rate interests held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown in the Schedule of Investments.
 
  p)  Swaps — Certain Funds may enter into event linked swaps, including credit default swaps. The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, an index, or a basket of issuers. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. A “seller’s” exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract.
 
Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaps. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate multiplied by a “notional principal amount,” in return for payments equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the same amount, for a specific period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as well. Swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment rates. None of the Funds, had outstanding swaps as of December 31, 2008.
 
  q)  Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates.
 
  r)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Effective January 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
 
  •     Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, ETF’s, repurchase agreements and rights and warrants.
  •     Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities, whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost.
  •     Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker-quoted securities, long dated OTC options and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price.
 
Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than that presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.
 
FAS 157 also requires that a roll forward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3. For purposes of this reconciliation, transfers in are shown at the end of period fair value and transfers out are shown at the beginning of period fair value.
 
Refer to the valuation hierarchy levels summary and the Level 3 roll forward reconciliation found following the Schedules of Investments.

  s)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires companies to disclose information detailing the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the level of derivative activity entered into by the company and any credit risk- related contingent features of the agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and has not yet implemented the new disclosure standard.
 
  t)  Indemnifications:  Under the Companies’ organizational documents, each Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland Corporate Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Companies, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Companies’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Companies have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
3.  Futures and Options Transactions:
 
Certain Funds may invest in futures and options contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date. When the Funds enter into such futures contracts, they are required to deposit with a futures commission merchant an amount of “initial margin” of cash, commercial paper or U.S. Treasury Bills. Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market), which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the Funds.
 
At any time prior to the expiration of the futures contract, a Fund may close the position by taking an opposite position, which would effectively terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund and the Fund realizes a gain or loss.
 
The use of futures contracts involves elements of market risk, which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of the futures contracts may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in loss. No Funds had outstanding futures contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options to reflect the current market value of the option as of the end of the reporting period.
 
The Funds may write covered options. “Covered” means that so long as the Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the underlying securities or currency or an option to purchase or sell the same underlying securities or currency having an expiration date of the covered option and an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the covered option, or will pledge cash or other liquid securities having a value equal to or greater than the fluctuating market value of the option securities or currencies. A Fund receives a premium for writing a call or put option, which is recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options. There is a risk of loss from a change in the value of such options, which may exceed the related premiums received. None of the Funds had transactions involving written options contracts during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
4.  Federal Income Taxes:
 
  a)  Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of their taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. The Funds have distributed substantially all of their income and capital gains in prior years and each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains prior to the next fiscal year end. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distribution for federal income tax purposes.
 
  b)  Net investment income (loss ) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of wash sale transactions, amortization adjustments, and differing tax treatment for investments in PFICs, derivatives, REITs, RICs, and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds.
 
  c)  The tax character of distributions paid for the periods indicated is as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable):

   *  Certain Funds had capital loss carryforwards that are identified in Note 4 (e).
 
  The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of wash sales losses, the mark-to-market adjustment for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Sec. 1256, mark to market of Passive Foreign Investment Companies and basis differences in real estate investment trusts.
 
  d)  Reclassification of Capital Accounts:
 
In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, the Funds have recorded reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on the NAV of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting for such items as net operating losses that reduce distribution requirements. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of a Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below.

  f)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 — On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The Funds adopted FIN 48 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005 — 2008) and has determined there is no impact to the Funds’ financial statements.
 
5.  Expenses:
 
  a)  Investment Management and Advisory Agreements — HL Investment Advisors, LLC (HL Advisors), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hartford, serves as investment manager to the Funds pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement for the Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and the Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. As investment manager, HL Advisors has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, HL Advisors provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of the Funds.
 
HL Advisors has contracted with Wellington for the provision of day-to-day investment management services to Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund and Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

The Funds accrue these fees daily and pay monthly.
 
  e)  Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated to each Fund and allocated to classes within a Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of each Fund and class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to the Fund or to specific classes within a Fund.
 
  f)  Fees Paid Indirectly — The Funds have entered into agreements with State Street Global Advisors, LLC and Frank Russell Securities, Inc. to partially recapture non-discounted trade commissions. Such rebates are used to pay a portion of the Funds’ expenses. In addition, the Funds’ custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the Funds maintain cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account.

  g)  Distribution Plan for Class IB shares — All Funds with Class IB shares have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Class IB shares. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, each Fund is authorized to compensate the Distributor, Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. (a wholly owned, ultimate subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”)) from assets attributable to the Class IB shares for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Class IB shares, subject to the Fund Board’s review and approval.
 
The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund may pay annually up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to its Class IB shares for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class IB shares. The Board has the authority to suspend or reduce these payments at any point in time. Under the terms of the Distribution Plan and the principal underwriting agreement, each Fund is authorized to make payments monthly to the Distributor which may be used to pay or reimburse entities providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Class IB shares for such entities’ fees or expenses incurred or paid in that regard. The Funds’ distribution fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
  h)  Payment from Affiliate — The Funds are available for purchase by the separate accounts of different variable universal life policies, variable annuity products, and funding agreements and they are offered directly to certain qualified retirement plans (collectively “Products”). Although existing Products contain transfer restrictions, some Products, particularly older variable annuity products, do not contain restrictions on the frequency of transfers. In addition, as the result of the settlement of litigation against Hartford Life, Inc. (“Hartford Life”) (the issuer of such variable annuity products), the Funds’ ability to restrict transfers by certain owners of older variable annuity products was limited. During 2006, these annuity owners surrendered the older variable annuity contracts that were the subject of prior litigation. In February 2005, Hartford Life agreed with the Board of Directors of the Funds to indemnify the Funds for any material harm caused to the Funds from frequent trading by these contract owners.
 
On November 8, 2006, the SEC issued an order setting forth the terms of a settlement reached with three subsidiaries of The Hartford that resolves the SEC’s Division of Enforcement’s investigation of aspects of The Hartford’s variable annuity and mutual fund operations related to directed brokerage and revenue sharing. Under the terms of the settlement, The Hartford paid a total of $39.6 million to the Funds. These amounts were recorded on November 8, 2006 and paid on November 22, 2006.

7.  Line of Credit:
 
The Funds, except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, participate in a $1 billion committed revolving line of credit facility. The facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the arrangement, the Funds are required to own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also requires a fee to be paid based on the amount of the commitment. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any borrowings under this facility.
 
8.  Participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds:
 
The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. has approved the participation of Hartford Money Market HLS Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program (the “Program”) for money market funds.
 
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Program provides that investors in the Fund will receive $1.00 for each Fund share held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 in the event that the Fund closes at a NAV below $1.00 per share (a “guarantee event”). The Program only covers the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. Participation in the Program is expected to provide direct benefits to current shareholders that were shareholders as of September 19, 2008 and indirect benefits to all current shareholders by supporting the stability of the Fund’s asset level.
 
Accordingly, any purchase of shares of the Fund for a new account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 and any increase in the number of shares of the Fund held in an account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be covered by the Program. In the event that shares held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 are sold prior to the date of a guarantee event, the shares covered by the guarantee will be the lesser of (i) the amounts held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or (ii) the amounts held in the Fund on the date of a guarantee event.
 
The cost to participate in the Program will be borne by the Fund without regard to any fee waiver and/or any expense limitation or reimbursement currently in effect for the Fund and is, therefore, borne by all shareholders of the Fund whether or not their shares are covered by the Program. Currently, assets available to the Program to support all participating money market funds do not exceed $50 billion and the Secretary of the Treasury may extend the Program up through the close of business on September 18, 2009.
 
On November 24, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department extended the Program until April 30, 2009. The Program still continues to cover only the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. The Board has approved the continued participation of the Fund in the Program. The cost to participate in the Program will continue to be borne by the Fund.
 
9.  Money Market HLS Fund Support Agreement:
 
The HLS Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) has entered into a Capital Support Agreement, dated September 26, 2008, and amended October 8, 2008 (the “CSA”) with HL Advisors and its affiliate Hartford Life, Inc. (“Hartford Life”). Under the terms of the CSA, Hartford Life has agreed to provide support of up to a maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million for the Fund’s holdings of certain securities specified in the CSA (the “Notes”). The Notes held in the Fund as of December 31, 2008 are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
 
The CSA provides that Hartford Life will pay a capital contribution to the Fund if a “Contribution Event” occurs prior to an event terminating the CSA. The contribution amount would be the lesser of: (1) the amount sufficient for the Fund to maintain its market-based calculation of NAV at $0.9950 (which rounds to an NAV of $1.00), after giving effect to the contribution and payments received by the Fund in respect of the Notes; (2) the amount of the loss on the Notes, which is the excess of the amortized cost of the Notes, less deduction of any commissions or similar transaction cost, and any amount received by the Fund in connection with the Contribution Event; and (3) the maximum contribution amount under the CSA, which is $33.6 million for any and all contributions under the CSA.
 
The CSA defines a “Contribution Event” as any of the following occurrences: (1) any sale of the Note for cash in an amount, after deduction of any commissions or similar transaction costs, less than the amortized cost value of the Note sold as of the date of the settlement; (2) the receipt of final payment on the Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; (3) the issuance of orders by a court having jurisdiction over the matter discharging the issuer from liability for the Note and providing for payments on that Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; or (4) the receipt of any security or other instruments in exchange for, or as replacement of, the Note as a result of an exchange offer, debt restructuring, reorganization or similar transaction pursuant to which the Note is exchanged for, or replaced with,

new securities of the issuer or third party and such new securities are or become “Eligible Securities,” as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and have a value that is less than the amortized cost of the Note on the date that the Fund receives such new securities.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2008, after the receipt of verbal “no-action” assurance provided by the staff of the SEC, the parties to the CSA have entered into an amendment that permits the CSA to continue despite the fact that Hartford Life’s obligations, effective February 9, 2009, no longer qualify as ‘‘First Tier” securities, as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The amendment requires that Hartford Life establish an escrow account to support its potential future obligations under the CSA. The minimum balance of the escrow account is $725 (which was set equal to the aggregate unrealized loss on the Notes as of February 23, 2009), and the balance may periodically be adjusted based on the fair value of the Notes and the NAV of the Fund.
 
The CSA will terminate (unless the parties agree to an extension) on the earliest of the following dates: (1) September 26, 2009; (2) if and when all of the Notes are repaid in full; and (3) if and when Hartford Life has made capital contributions, in the aggregate, equal to the maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million. Any extension would require approval of the SEC staff. In light of the terms of the CSA, the current and historical market value of the Notes and the net asset value of the Fund, it is possible that no capital contribution would be required even if the Fund were to realize a loss with respect to the Notes. The CSA applies only with respect to the Notes and does not guarantee that the Fund will maintain a stable NAV under all conditions. Apart from the CSA, Hartford Life has not undertaken nor is it obligated to provide support with respect to the Fund’s NAV.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not receive a capital contribution under the terms of the CSA.
 
The fair value of the CSA may increase or decrease as a result of changes in the fair value of the Notes and other factors. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of the CSA was zero, as noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and
Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund and Hartford Money Market HLS Fund (two of the thirty-four portfolios constituting the Hartford Series Fund, Inc.) and Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund (one of seven portfolios constituting the Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc.) (collectively, the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above constituting portfolios within Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. at December 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
 
 
Your Fund’s Expenses
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period of June 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
 
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
 
 
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements after an initial two year period.
 
At a meeting held on August 5-6, 2008, the Boards of Directors (the “Board”) of the Funds, including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the investment management agreement for each Fund with an agreement up for renewal with HL Investment Advisors, LLC (“HL Advisors”), and the investment sub-advisory agreements between HL Advisors and each Fund’s respective sub-adviser(s) (“Sub-advisers,” and together with HL Advisors, “Advisers”) — Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”) and Wellington Management Company, LLP (collectively, the “Agreements”). In the months preceding this meeting, the Board requested, received, and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to them on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about each Fund and the related Agreements by Fund officers and representatives of HL Advisors at the Board’s meetings on June 24-25, 2008 and August 5-6, 2008. In considering the approval of the Agreements, the Board also took into account information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, including reports on Fund performance, compliance, shareholder services, and the other services provided to the Funds by the Advisers, and their affiliates.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel. In addition, the Independent Directors engaged two service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund. Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how each Fund’s management fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios, and investment performance compared to those of mutual funds with similar investment objectives in various peer groups (“Peer Funds”). The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consulting firm (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating each Fund’s management fees, sub-advisory fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance.
 
The Board considered the Agreements for each Fund at the June and August meetings. In determining to continue the Agreements for each Fund, the Board determined that the proposed management fee structure for each Fund was fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In determining to renew the Agreements, the Board considered the following categories of material factors, among others, relating to the Agreements.
 
Nature, Extent And Quality Of Services
 
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements, the range of services provided, and the Advisers’ organizational structure, systems and personnel.1( The Board received information on the experience of senior management and relevant investment and other personnel of the Advisers, and the adequacy of the time and attention devoted by them to the Funds. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as its commitment to expand the resources devoted to supporting Fund operations and to continuously evaluate whether additional support is needed, particularly in light of increased regulatory requirements and other developments. In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board, and responsiveness to Board inquiries.
 
The Board also requested and reviewed information on each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, compliance history, and a report from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer on each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators. In doing so, the Board noted the Advisers’ support of the Funds’ compliance control structure, particularly the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
With respect to HL Advisors, the Board noted that under the Agreements, HL Advisors is responsible for the management of each Fund, including overseeing fund operations and service providers, and it or Hartford Life provides administrative services to the Funds as well as the investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising sub-advisers. The Board considered its experiences with HL Advisors and, for certain Funds, Hartford Life, with respect to each of these services. The Board considered that HL Advisors or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Funds’ officers and paying their salaries and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by HL Advisors’ affiliates.
 
With respect to the Sub-advisers, who provide day-to-day portfolio management services, the Board considered the quality of each Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, their ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, their investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by HL Advisors and each of the Sub-advisers.
 
Performance of the Funds, HL Advisors, and the Sub-Advisers
 
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In this regard, the Board considered information and materials provided to the Board from HL Advisors and Lipper comparing each Fund’s short-term and long-term investment performance over various periods of time with appropriate benchmark indices, and with a performance universe of funds selected by Lipper. This information included performance reports (provided by Lipper and HL Advisors) and discussions with portfolio managers and other representatives of the Sub-advisers at Board meetings throughout the year, as well as the information provided
 
 
(1 Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with HL Advisors under which HL Advisors provides investment advisory and certain administrative services to the Fund. Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund and Hartford Money Market HLS Fund have entered into investment management agreements with HL Advisors for investment advisory services, and a separate administrative agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company (“Hartford Life”), under which Hartford Life provides certain administrative services to those Funds. For those Funds that have separate management and administrative agreements, the Board considered the fees payable under both agreements in the aggregate.

especially for the annual contract review. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record. The Board considered HL Advisors’ cooperation with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of the Funds at periodic meetings throughout the year.
 
The Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over the different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated each Adviser’s analysis of the Funds’ performance for these time periods, with specific attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Funds for specific time periods relative to a peer group or benchmark, and the causes for such underperformance. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Board also considered whether the Fund had been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful performance track record. The Board also noted HL Advisors’ initiatives over the course of the year to improve Fund performance, including management’s action to institute portfolio manager changes for certain Funds.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the Fund’s performance over time has been satisfactory, and that it had continued confidence in HL Advisors’ and the Sub-advisers’ overall capabilities to manage each Fund.
 
Costs of the Services and Profitability
 
The Board reviewed information regarding HL Advisors’ cost to provide investment management and related services to the Funds and HL Advisors’ profitability, both overall and for each Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HL Advisors and its affiliates from all services provided to the Funds and all aspects of their relationship with the Funds.
 
With respect to those Funds which are sub-advised by Hartford Investment Management, an affiliate of HL Advisors, the Board considered the costs and profitability information for HL Advisors and Hartford Investment Management in the aggregate. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the other Sub-advisers. In evaluating such Sub-advisers’ profitability with respect to the Funds, the Board considered primarily HL Advisors’ and the Sub-advisers’ representations that HL Advisors had negotiated the sub-advisory fees at arm’s-length, and the Sub-advisers’ representations that the fees charged to HL Advisors were comparable to fees charged by the Sub-advisers to similar clients.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds would not be excessive.
 
Comparison of Fees and Expenses
 
The Board considered comparative information with respect to the investment management fees to be paid by each Fund to HL Advisors and the total expense ratios of each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HL Advisors and each Sub-adviser relating to the management fees and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed written materials from Lipper providing comparative information about each Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios relative to those of peer groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Funds and Peer Funds are imprecise, given the differing service levels and characteristics of mutual funds, and the different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Lipper assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s management fees and total operating expenses.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board noted in particular its agreement with HL Advisors with respect to the following matters: (i) the implementation of permanent breakpoints to reduce management fees with respect to certain Funds; (ii) the implementation of a permanent reduction in the contractual management fee for Money Market HLS Fund; and (iii) revision of the contractual fee waiver for Money Market HLS Fund. In its deliberations, the Board gave significant weight to each Fund’s overall expense ratio, net of these revisions. HL Advisors agreed to the following fee revisions, each effective January 1, 2009:
 
  •  Permanent breakpoint reductions:
 
HL Advisors agreed to implement permanent breakpoints to the following Funds’ fee schedules to reduce management fees by 0.0025% at $5 billion and an additional 0.0025% at $10 billion: Global Growth HLS Fund and Growth Opportunities HLS Fund.
 
  •  Money Market HLS Fund:  HL Advisors agreed to a permanent reduction in the fee rate on the first $2 billion of assets by 0.05%, which reduced the overall contractual management fees (on a weighted basis) by 0.028%. In addition, HL Advisors eliminated its 0.05% voluntary management fee waiver.
 
Based on these considerations, and the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses are reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale
 
The Board requested and considered information regarding the Advisers’ realization of economies of scale with respect to the Funds, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund’s investors. With respect to HL Advisors, the Board considered representations from HL Advisors that it is difficult to anticipate whether and the extent to which economies may be realized by HL Advisors as assets grow over time. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for each Fund, which reduces fees as Fund assets grow over time. The Board recognized that Funds with assets beyond the last breakpoint level continue to benefit from economies of scale, because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee, resulting in lower overall effective management fee rates. The Board considered that certain Funds may achieve some economies as certain fixed expenses are spread over a larger asset base, noting that there is no precise way to measure such economies, and that certain expenses do not necessarily decrease as assets increase. The Board also considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce Fund expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders, and that a schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale.

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) — (continued)
 
The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Lipper showing how management fee schedules of Peer Funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of investors as a Peer Fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HL Advisors, Lipper, and the Consultant, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints, or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.
 
After considering all of the information available to it, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of each Fund’s investors, based on currently available information and the effective advisory fees and expense ratios for the Funds at their current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor future growth in Fund assets and the appropriateness of additional breakpoints.
 
Other Benefits
 
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the role of the Funds in supporting the variable life insurance and variable annuity products offered by The Hartford. The Board reviewed information noting that Hartford Life, an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives fees from certain Funds for providing certain administrative services for those Funds, and that Hartford Life also receives fees for fund accounting and related services from each of the Funds, and the Board considered information on expected profits to Hartford Life or its affiliates for such services.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Investor Services Company, LLC (“HISC”), the Funds’ transfer agent and an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives transfer agency compensation from the Funds, and the Board reviewed information on the expected profitability of the Funds’ transfer agency function to HISC. The Board considered information provided by HL Advisors indicating that the fees charged by HISC to the Funds are reasonable and in line with industry standards.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc., as principal underwriter of the Funds, receives 12b-1 fees from the Funds. The Board also noted that certain affiliates of HL Advisors distribute shares of the Funds and receive compensation in that connection.
 
The Board considered benefits to the Sub-advisers from their proposed use of the Funds’ brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research, and representations from HL Advisors and the Sub-advisers that the Sub-advisers would not be making revenue-sharing or other payments to HL Advisors or its affiliates in connection with the distribution of the Funds.
 
The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the Hartford family of funds. The Board considered HL Advisors’ efforts to provide investors in the family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes, and its entrepreneurial risk in initiating new Funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.
 
* * * *
 
Based upon its review of these various factors, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders for the Board to approve the Agreements for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately in executive session on several occasions, with independent legal counsel, to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

Hartford Money Market HLS Fund
 
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
($000’s omitted)
 
 
1.  Organization:
 
Hartford Money Market HLS Fund (the “Fund”) serves as an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (“HLIC”), and certain qualified retirement plans. The Fund may also serve as an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the funds permitted by their plans.
 
Hartford Series Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company comprised of thirty-four portfolios (each a “Fund” or together the “Funds”) (the Fund is the only one included in these financials). The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.
 
The Fund is divided into Class IA and IB shares. Each class is offered at the per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge and is subject to the same expenses, except that the Class IB shares are subject to distribution fees charged pursuant to Distribution and Service Plans. These Distribution and Service Plans have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
 
  a)  Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis.
 
  b)  Security Valuation — The Fund’s investments are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the valuation date.
 
  c)  Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). These balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.
 
  d)  Repurchase Agreements — A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies), including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities that serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by the Fund’s custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial account of the Fund or in a third party custodial account. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  e)  Reverse Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by the Fund of portfolio assets concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Reverse repurchase agreements carry the risk that the market value of the securities which the Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price. A reverse repurchase agreement is viewed as a collateralized borrowing by the Fund. Borrowing magnifies the potential for gain or loss on the portfolio securities of the Fund and, therefore, increases the possibility of a fluctuation in the Fund’s NAV. Reverse Repurchase Agreements are valued at proceeds plus accrued interest. There were no outstanding reverse repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  f)  Fund Share Valuation and Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders or plan participants. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). The NAV is determined separately for each class of the Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of the Fund’s shares received by an insurance company or plan prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received by an insurance company or plan after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
 
The Fund seeks to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 by declaring a daily dividend from net investment income, including net short-term capital gains and losses, and by valuing its investments using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. Dividends are declared daily and distributed monthly.
 
  g)  Illiquid and Restricted Securities — The Fund is permitted to invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. “Illiquid Securities” are those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days, at approximately the price used to determine the Fund’s NAV. The Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities or other investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such securities or investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the securities or investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid securities or other investments may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of those that are liquid. Illiquid securities and investments also may be more difficult to value, due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such securities or investments, and investments in them may have an adverse impact on the NAV. The Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities, commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. The Fund as shown in the Schedule of Investments had restricted securities as of December 31, 2008.

Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
December 31, 2008
($000’s omitted)
 
  h)  Credit Risk — Credit risk depends largely on the perceived financial health of bond issuers. In general, lower rated bonds have higher credit risk. High yield bond prices can fall on bad news about the economy, an industry or a company. The share price, yield and total return of a Fund which holds securities with higher credit risk may fluctuate more than with less aggressive bond funds.
 
  i)  Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates.
 
  j)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Effective January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
 
  •     Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (“ETF’s”), repurchase agreements and rights and warrants.
 
  •     Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost.
 
  •     Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker-quoted securities, long dated OTC options and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price.
 
Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than that presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.
 
FAS 157 also requires that a roll forward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3. For purposes of this reconciliation, transfers in are shown at the end of period fair value and transfers out are shown at the beginning of period fair value.
 
  k)  Indemnifications: Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland Corporate Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Company, on behalf of the Fund, may enter contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
3.  Federal Income Taxes:
 
  a)  Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. The Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years and the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains prior to the next fiscal year end. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.
 
The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund (as adjusted for dividends payable) from ordinary income were $76,078 and $108,593 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Fund’s components of distributable earnings (deficit) on a tax basis was undistributed ordinary income of $2,002 accumulated capital and other losses of $(13,032) and total accumulated deficit of $(11,030).
 
  b)  Capital Loss Carryforward:
 
At December 31, 2008 (tax-year-end), the Fund had a capital loss carryforward for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately:

Hartford Money Market HLS Fund
  $     $     $     $     $     $     $     $ 13,032     $ 13,032  
 
  c)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 — On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The Fund adopted FIN 48 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005 — 2008) and has determined there is no impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

4.  Expenses:
 
  a)  Investment Management and Advisory Agreements — HL Investment Advisors, LLC (HL Advisors) an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hartford, serves as investment manager to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with Hartford Series Fund, Inc. As investment manager, HL Advisors has overall investment supervisory responsibility for the Fund. In addition, HL Advisors provides administrative personnel, services, equipment and facilities and office space for proper operation of the Fund.
 
In addition, HL Advisors has contracted with Hartford Investment Management for the provision of day-to-day investment management services to the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

  Annual Rate
 
On first $5 billion
    0.40%  
On next $5 billion
    0.38%  
Over $10 billion
    0.37%  
 
  c)  Accounting Services Agreement — Pursuant to the Fund Accounting Agreement between HLIC and the Fund, HLIC provides accounting services to the Fund and receives monthly compensation of 0.010% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This rate was effective January 1, 2008. The Fund’s accounting services fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
  d)  Other Related Party Transactions — Certain officers of the Fund are directors and/or officers of HL Advisors, Hartford Investment Management and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2008, a portion of the Fund’s chief compliance officer’s salary was paid by the Fund in the amount of $7. Hartford Investor Services Company LLC (“HISC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to the Fund. HISC was compensated $2 for providing such services. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
  e)  Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses incurred by the Fund are charged to the Fund and allocated to classes within the Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of the Fund and each class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to the Fund or to specific classes within the Fund.
 
  f)  Fees Paid Indirectly — The Fund has entered into agreements with State Street Global Advisors, LLC and Frank Russell Securities, Inc. to partially recapture non-discounted trade commissions. Such rebates are used to pay a portion of the Fund’s expenses. In addition, the Fund’s custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the Fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended December 31, 2008, these amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.
 
The ratio of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights excludes the reduction in expenses related to fees paid indirectly.

  owned, ultimate subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”)) from assets attributable to the Class IB shares for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Class IB shares, subject to the Fund Board’s review and approval.
 
The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund may pay annually up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to its Class IB shares for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class IB shares. The Board has the authority to suspend or reduce these payments at any point in time. Under the terms of the Distribution Plan and the principal underwriting agreement, the Fund is authorized to make payments monthly to the Distributor which may be used to pay or reimburse entities providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Class IB shares for such entities’ fees or expenses incurred or paid in that regard. The Fund’s distribution fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
5.  Investment Transactions:
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund’s cost of purchases and sales of investment securities were to $72,454,406 and $69,917,848, respectively.
 
6.  Participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds:
 
The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. has approved the participation of Hartford Money Market HLS Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program (the “Program”) for money market funds.
 
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Program provides that investors in the Fund will receive $1.00 for each Fund share held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 in the event that the Fund closes at a NAV below $1.00 per share (a “guarantee event”). The Program only covers the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. Participation in the Program is expected to provide direct benefits to current shareholders as of September 19, 2008 and indirect benefits to all current shareholders by supporting the stability of the Fund’s asset level.
 
Accordingly, any purchase of shares of the Fund for a new account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 and any increase in the number of shares of the Fund held in an account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be covered by the Program. In the event that shares held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 are sold prior to the date of a guarantee event, the shares covered by the guarantee will be the lesser of (i) the amounts held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or (ii) the amounts held in the Fund on the date of a guarantee event.
 
The cost to participate in the Program will be borne by the Fund without regard to any fee waiver and/or any expense limitation or reimbursement currently in effect for the Fund and is, therefore, borne by all shareholders of the Fund whether or not their shares are covered by the Program. Currently, assets available to the Program to support all participating money market funds do not exceed $50 billion and the Secretary of the Treasury may extend the Program up through the close of business on September 18, 2009.
 
On November 24, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department extended the Program until April 30, 2009. The Program still continues to cover only the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. The Board has approved the continued participation of the Fund in the Program. The cost to participate in the Program will continue to be borne by the Fund.
 
7.  Money Market HLS Fund Support Agreement:
 
The HLS Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) has entered into a Capital Support Agreement, dated September 26, 2008, and amended October 8, 2008 (the “CSA”) with HL Advisors and its affiliate Hartford Life, Inc. (“Hartford Life”). Under the terms of the CSA, Hartford Life has agreed to provide support of up to a maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million for the Fund’s holdings of certain securities specified in the CSA (the “Notes”). The Notes held in the Fund as of December 31, 2008 are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
 
The CSA provides that Hartford Life will pay a capital contribution to the Fund if a “Contribution Event” occurs prior to an event terminating the CSA. The contribution amount would be the lesser of: (1) the amount sufficient for the Fund to maintain its market-based calculation of NAV at $0.9950 (which rounds to an NAV of $1.00), after giving effect to the contribution and payments received by the Fund in respect of the Notes; (2) the amount of the loss on the Notes, which is the excess of the amortized cost of the Notes, less deduction of any commissions or similar transaction cost, and any amount received by the Fund in connection with the Contribution Event; and (3) the maximum contribution amount under the CSA, which is $33.6 million for any and all contributions under the CSA.
 
The CSA defines a “Contribution Event” as any of the following occurrences: (1) any sale of the Note for cash in an amount, after deduction of any commissions or similar transaction costs, less than the amortized cost value of the Note sold as of the date of the settlement; (2) the receipt of final payment on the Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; (3) the issuance of orders by a court having jurisdiction over the matter discharging the issuer from liability for the Note and providing for payments on that Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; or (4) the receipt of any security or other instruments in exchange for, or as replacement of, the Note as a result of an exchange offer, debt restructuring, reorganization or similar transaction pursuant to which the Note is exchanged for, or replaced with, new securities of the issuer or third party and such new securities are or become “Eligible Securities,” as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and have a value that is less than the amortized cost of the Note on the date that the Fund receives such new securities.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2008, after the receipt of verbal “no-action” assurance provided by the staff of the SEC, the parties to the CSA have entered into an amendment that permits the CSA to continue despite the fact that Hartford Life’s obligations, effective February 9, 2009, no longer qualify as “First Tier” securities, as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The amendment requires that Hartford Life establish an escrow account to support its potential future obligations under the CSA. The minimum balance of the escrow account is $725 (which was set equal to the aggregate unrealized loss on the Notes as of February 23, 2009), and the balance may periodically be adjusted based on the fair value of the Notes and the NAV of the Fund.
 
The CSA will terminate (unless the parties agree to an extension) on the earliest of the following dates: (1) September 26, 2009; (2) if and when all of the Notes are repaid in full; and (3) if and when Hartford Life has made capital contributions, in the aggregate, equal to the maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million. Any extension would require approval of the SEC staff. In light of the terms of the CSA, the current and historical market value of the Notes

­ ­  10  ­ ­

and the net asset value of the Fund, it is possible that no capital contribution would be required even if the Fund were to realize a loss with respect to the Notes. The CSA applies only with respect to the Notes and does not guarantee that the Fund will maintain a stable NAV under all conditions. Apart from the CSA, Hartford Life has not undertaken nor is it obligated to provide support with respect to the Fund’s NAV.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not receive a capital contribution under the terms of the CSA.
 
The fair value of the CSA may increase or decrease as a result of changes in the fair value of the Notes and other factors. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of the CSA was zero, as noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Hartford Series Fund, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Hartford Money Market HLS Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the thirty-four portfolios constituting the Hartford Series Fund, Inc.) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hartford Money Market HLS Fund of the Hartford Series Fund, Inc. at December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
 
 
Your Fund’s Expenses
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period of June 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
 
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Hartford Money Market HLS Fund
 
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
 
 
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements after an initial two year period.
 
At a meeting held on August 5-6, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the investment management agreement for the Fund with HL Investment Advisors, LLC (“HL Advisors”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement between HL Advisors and the Fund’s sub-adviser (“Sub-adviser” and together with HL Advisors (“Advisers”) — Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”) (collectively, the “Agreements”). In the months preceding this meeting, the Board requested, received, and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to them on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund and the related Agreements by Fund officers and representatives of HL Advisors at the Board’s meetings on June 24-25, 2008 and August 5-6, 2008. In considering the approval of the Agreements, the Board also took into account information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, including reports on Fund performance, compliance, shareholder services and the other services provided to the Fund by the Advisers, and their affiliates.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel. In addition, the Independent Directors engaged two service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to the Fund. Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how the Fund’s management fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios, and investment performance compared to those of mutual funds with similar investment objectives in various peer groups (“Peer Funds”). The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consulting firm (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating the Fund’s management fees, sub-advisory fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance.
 
The Board considered the Agreements for the Fund at the June and August meetings. In determining to continue the Agreements for the Fund, the Board determined that the proposed management fee structure for the Fund was fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In determining to renew the Agreements, the Board considered the following categories of material factors, among others, relating to the Agreements.
 
Nature, Extent And Quality Of Services
 
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements, the range of services provided, and the Advisers’ organizational structure, systems and personnel.1( The Board received information on the experience of senior management and relevant investment and other personnel of the Advisers, and the adequacy of the time and attention devoted by them to the Fund. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as its commitment to expand the resources devoted to supporting Fund operations and to continuously evaluate whether additional support is needed, particularly in light of increased regulatory requirements and other developments. In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board, and responsiveness to Board inquiries.
 
The Board also requested and reviewed information on each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, compliance history, and a report from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer on each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators. In doing so, the Board noted the Advisers’ support of the Fund’s compliance control structure, particularly the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Fund’s obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
With respect to HL Advisors, the Board noted that under the Agreements, HL Advisors is responsible for the management of the Fund, including overseeing fund operations and service providers, and Hartford Life provides administrative services to the Fund as well as the investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising sub-advisers. The Board considered its experiences with HL Advisors and, Hartford Life, with respect to each of these services. The Board considered that HL Advisors or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Fund’s officers and paying their salaries and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by HL Advisors’ affiliates.
 
With respect to the Sub-adviser, who provides day-to-day portfolio management services, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, its ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, its investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by HL Advisors and the Sub-adviser.
 
Performance of the Fund, HL Advisors, and the Sub-Advisers
 
The Board considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered information and materials provided to the Board from HL Advisors and Lipper comparing the Fund’s short-term and long-term investment performance over various periods of time with appropriate benchmark indices, and with a performance universe of funds selected by Lipper. This information included performance reports (provided by Lipper and HL Advisors) and discussions with portfolio managers and other representatives of the Sub-adviser at Board meetings throughout the year, as well as the information provided especially for the annual contract review. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to the Fund’s performance track record. The Board considered HL Advisors’ cooperation with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of the Fund at periodic meetings throughout the year.
 
The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund over the different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated each Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance for these time periods, with specific attention to information indicating any underperformance of the Fund for specific time periods relative to a peer
 
 
(1 The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with HL Advisors under which HL Advisors provides investment advisory services to the Fund, and a separate administrative agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company (“Hartford Life”), under which Hartford Life provides certain administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered the fees payable under both agreements in the aggregate.

group or benchmark, and the causes for such underperformance. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Board also considered whether the Fund had been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful performance track record.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance over time has been satisfactory, and that it had continued confidence in HL Advisors’ and the Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Fund.
 
Costs of the Services and Profitability
 
The Board reviewed information regarding HL Advisors’ cost to provide investment management and related services to the Fund and HL Advisors’ profitability, both overall and for the Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HL Advisors and its affiliates from all services provided to the Fund and all aspects of their relationship with the Fund.
 
The Board considered the costs and profitability information for HL Advisors and Hartford Investment Management in the aggregate.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Fund would not be excessive.
 
Comparison of Fees and Expenses
 
The Board considered comparative information with respect to the investment management fees to be paid by the Fund to HL Advisors and the total expense ratio of the Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HL Advisors and the Sub-adviser relating to the management fees and total operating expenses for the Fund. The Board also reviewed written materials from Lipper providing comparative information about the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios relative to those of peer groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Fund and Peer Funds are imprecise, given the differing service levels and characteristics of mutual funds, and the different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Lipper assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of the Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to the Fund’s management fees and total operating expenses.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board noted in particular its agreement with HL Advisors with respect to the following matters: (i) the implementation of a permanent reduction in the contractual management fee for the Fund and (ii) revision of the contractual fee waiver for the Fund. In its deliberations, the Board gave significant weight to the Fund’s overall expense ratio, net of these revisions. HL Advisors agreed to the following fee revision, effective January 1, 2009:
 
  •  Money Market HLS Fund:  HL Advisors agreed to a permanent reduction in the fee rate on the first $2 billion of assets by 0.05%, which reduced the overall contractual management fees (on a weighted basis) by 0.028%. In addition, HL Advisors eliminated its 0.05% voluntary management fee waiver.
 
Based on these considerations, and the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, the Board concluded that the Fund’s fees and total operating expenses are reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale
 
The Board requested and considered information regarding the Advisers’ realization of economies of scale with respect to the Fund, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors. With respect to HL Advisors, the Board considered representations from HL Advisors that it is difficult to anticipate whether and the extent to which economies may be realized by HL Advisors as assets grow over time. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for the Fund, which reduces fees as Fund assets grow over time. The Board recognized that a Fund with assets beyond the last breakpoint level continues to benefit from economies of scale, because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee, resulting in lower overall effective management fee rates. The Board considered that the Fund may achieve some economies as certain fixed expenses are spread over a larger asset base, noting that there is no precise way to measure such economies, and that certain expenses do not necessarily decrease as assets increase. The Board also considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce Fund expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders, and that a schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale.
 
The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Lipper showing how management fee schedules of Peer Funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of investors as a Peer Fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HL Advisors, Lipper, and the Consultant, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints, or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.
 
After considering all of the information available to it, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of the Fund’s investors, based on currently available information and the effective advisory fees and expense ratio for the Fund at its current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor future growth in Fund assets and the appropriateness of additional breakpoints.
 
Other Benefits
 
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the role of the Fund in supporting the variable life insurance and variable annuity products offered by The Hartford. The Board reviewed information noting that Hartford Life, an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives fees from the Fund for providing certain administrative services for the Fund, and that Hartford Life also receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Fund, and the Board considered information on expected profits to Hartford Life or its affiliates for such services.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Investor Services Company, LLC (“HISC”), the Fund’s transfer agent and an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives transfer agency compensation from the Fund, and the Board reviewed information on the expected profitability of the Fund’s transfer agency function to HISC. The Board considered information provided by HL Advisors indicating that the fee charged by HISC to the Fund is reasonable and in line with industry standards.

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) — (continued)
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc., as principal underwriter of the Fund, receives 12b-1 fees from the Fund. The Board also noted that certain affiliates of HL Advisors distribute shares of the Fund and receive compensation in that connection.
 
The Board considered benefits to the Sub-adviser from its proposed use of the Fund’s brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research, and representations from HL Advisors and the Sub-adviser that the Sub-adviser would not be making revenue-sharing or other payments to HL Advisors or its affiliates in connection with the distribution of the Fund.
 
The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the Hartford family of funds. The Board considered HL Advisors’ efforts to provide investors in the family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes, and its entrepreneurial risk in initiating new Funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.
 
* * * *
 
Based upon its review of these various factors, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the Agreements for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately in executive session on several occasions, with independent legal counsel, to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

The value of the contract will fluctuate so that when redeemed, it may be worth more or less than the original investment. The chart and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio shares. The figures do not include sales charges or other fees which may be applied at the variable life insurance, variable annuity or qualified retirement plan product level. Any such additional sales charges or other fees would lower the Fund’s performance.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Index HLS Fund returned -37.11% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned –36.99% for the same period, and outperforming the -37.20% return of the average fund in the Lipper S&P 500 Index Objective VP-UF Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Global economic and financial market crises during the year drove the U.S. equity markets to their worst performance since the Great Depression. All 10 sectors within the Index, as defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), had double-digit negative returns. Financial stocks experienced the highest underperformance, dropping more than half for the year, brought on by the collapse of several major financial institutions that included mortgage banks, insurance companies and brokerage firms. The Materials and Information Technology sectors were the second and third highest contributors to underperformance. The best performing sector was Consumer Staples.
Looking at individual stocks within the benchmark, most of the Index constituents produced negative returns throughout the year. Many of the best and worst performers did not spend the entire calendar year as constituents of the Index. The top three performers were Wrigley, the candy maker, Family Dollar Stores, a discount retailer, and Anheuser Busch, before being acquired by InBev. Financial stocks that contributed the most to underperformance relative to the Index were eventually dropped as Index constituents. This list included Washington Mutual, Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
What is the outlook?
The overall market environment looks challenging for 2009. The equity markets may not have yet fully priced in the possibility of further write-downs within the Banking sector or other negative economic headlines (i.e., further trouble within the housing market and continued severity of the credit crunch). Thus, any further declines may serve to retest the markets’ lows. Many investors will be focused on forthcoming decisions by the new Obama administration with regards to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other stimulus package details. Other factors that may impact investor sentiment include the impact of the recent interest rate cuts, the price of oil, the value of the U.S.

dollar, and the unemployment level in the United States. As the main driver of the current downturn, global housing markets will continue to be scrutinized by investors seeking the beginning of recovery. Until many of these factors stabilize, most investors will likely remain defensive, expecting a continuation of market volatility.

Hartford Index HLS Fund
 
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
($000’s Omitted)
 
1.  Organization:
 
Hartford Index HLS Fund (the “Fund”) serves an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (“HLIC”) and certain qualified retirement plans. The Fund may also serve as an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the funds permitted by their plans.
 
Hartford Series Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company comprised of thirty-four portfolios (the Fund is the only one included in these financials). The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.
 
The Fund is divided into Class IA and IB shares. Each class is offered at the per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge and is subject to the same expenses, except that the Class IB shares are subject to distribution fees charged pursuant to Distribution and Service Plans. These Distribution and Service Plans have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
 
  a)  Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
        Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis.
 
  b)  Security Valuation — The Fund generally uses market prices in valuing portfolio securities. If market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, the Fund will use the fair value of the security as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors. Market prices may be deemed unreliable, for example, if a security is thinly traded or if an event has occurred after the close of the security’s primary markets, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, referred to as the “Valuation Time”) that is expected to affect the value of the portfolio security. The circumstances in which a Fund may use fair value pricing include, among others: (i) the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructuring or defaults; (ii) the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or governmental actions; (iii) trading restrictions on securities; (iv) thinly traded securities and (v) market events such as trading halts and early market closings. In addition, with respect to the valuation of securities principally traded on foreign markets, the Fund uses a fair value pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors, which employs quantitative models which evaluate changes in the value of foreign market proxies (e.g., futures contracts, ADR’s, exchange traded funds (“ETF’s”)) after the close of the foreign markets but before the close of the Exchange. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. The value of the Fund’s foreign portfolio securities may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the NAV of the shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is primarily traded but before the close of the Exchange. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if the Fund were to sell the security at approximately the time at which that Fund determines its NAV.
 
Exchange traded equity securities shall be valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded (the “Primary Market”) at the Valuation Time. If the security did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the Valuation Time at the last reported sale price on another exchange where it trades. The value of an equity security not traded on any exchange but traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) or another over-the-counter (“OTC”) market shall be valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is traded as of the Valuation Time. If it is not possible to determine the last reported sale price or official closing price on the relevant exchange or market at the Valuation Time, the value of the security shall be taken to be the most recent mean between bid and asked prices on such exchange or market at the Valuation Time.
 
Short term investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased are valued based on market quotations until the remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. Investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates.
 
Options contracts on securities, currencies, indexes, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments shall be valued at their most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on the Primary Market on which the instrument is traded. If the instrument did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on another exchange or market where it did trade.
 
Futures contracts shall be valued at the final settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. If a settlement price is not available, futures contracts will be valued at the most recent trade price as of the Valuation Time. If there were no trades, the contract shall be valued at the closing bid/ask prices as of the Valuation Time.
 
Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in securities in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors.

­ ­  13  ­ ­


Table of Contents

 
 


 
 
A forward currency contract shall be valued based on the price of underlying currency at the prevailing interpolated exchange rate, which is a combination of the spot currency rate and the forward currency rate. Spot currency rates and forward currency rates are obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily basis not more than one hour before the Valuation Time.
 
Swaps are valued based on custom valuations furnished by an independent pricing service. Swaps for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
 
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the valuation date.
 
  c)  Foreign Currency Transactions — The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the portfolio security valuation resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
 
  d)  Securities Lending — The Fund may lend its securities to certain qualified brokers who pay the Fund negotiated lender fees. The loans are fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or U.S. Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements. The cash collateral is then invested in short-term money market instruments. The repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U. S. Government Securities. The adequacy of the collateral for securities on loan is monitored on a daily basis. For instances where the market value of collateral falls below the market value of the securities out on loan, such collateral is supplemented on the following business day.
 
While securities are on loan, the Fund is subject to: the following risks: 1) that the borrower may default on the loan and that the collateral could be inadequate in the event the borrower defaults, 2) that the earnings on the collateral invested may not be sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan, 3) that the principal value of the collateral invested may decline and may not be sufficient to pay back the borrower for the amount of the collateral posted, 4) that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale which may place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities, 5) that return of loaned securities could be delayed and could interfere with portfolio management decisions and 6) that any efforts to recall the securities for purposes of voting a proxy may not be effective. The Fund had no securities on loan as of December 31, 2008.
 
  e)  Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). These balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.
 
  f)  Repurchase Agreements — A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies), including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities that serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by the Fund’s custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial account of the Fund or in a third party custodial account. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest receivable. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  g)  Indexed Securities — The Fund may invest in indexed securities whose values are linked to changes in interest rates, indices, or other underlying instruments. The Fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in using conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment and there may be a limit to the potential appreciation of the investment. The Fund had no investments in indexed securities as of December 31, 2008.
 
  h)  Fund Share Valuation and Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders or plan participants. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the Exchange. The NAV is determined separately for each class of the Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of the Fund’s shares received by an insurance company or plan prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received by an insurance company or plan after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
 
Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy by the Fund’s Board of Directors based upon the investment performance of the Fund. The policy of the Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains, if any, at least once a year.
 
Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U. S. GAAP with respect to character and timing. These differences include foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales adjustments and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Fund’s capital accounts (see Note 4 (d)).
 
  i)  Illiquid and Restricted Securities — The Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. “Illiquid Securities” are those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days, at approximately the price used to determine the Fund’s NAV. The

Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)

($000’s Omitted)
 
  Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities or other investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such securities or investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the securities or investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid securities or other investments may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of those that are liquid. Illiquid securities and investments also may be more difficult to value, due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such securities or investments, and investments in them may have an adverse impact on NAV. The Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities, commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Fund’s Board of Directors.
 
  j)  Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis — Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a forward commitment, or when-issued or delayed-delivery basis take place beyond the customary settlement period. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations, and the Fund identifies securities segregated in its records with value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding when-issued or forward commitments.
 
  k)  Swaps  — The Fund may enter into event linked swaps, including credit default swaps. The credit default swap market allows the Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, an index, or a basket of issuers. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. A “seller’s” exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract.
 
The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate multiplied by a “notional principal amount,” in return for payments equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the same amount, for a specific period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as well. Swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment rates. The Fund had no outstanding swaps as of December 31, 2008.
 
  l)  Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates.
 
  m)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Effective January 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
 
  •     Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, ETF’s, repurchase agreements, and rights and warrants.
 
  •     Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities, whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost.
 
  •     Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker-quoted securities, long dated OTC options, and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price.
 
Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than that presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.
 
FAS 157 also requires that a roll forward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3.

  n)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires companies to disclose information detailing the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the level of derivative activity entered into by the company and any credit risk-related contingent features of the agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning

  after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and has not yet implemented the new disclosure standard.
 
  o)  Indemnifications:  Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland Corporate Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Company, on behalf of the Fund, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
3.  Futures and Options Transactions:
 
The Fund may invest in futures and options contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date. When the Fund enters into such futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit with a futures commission merchant an amount of “initial margin” of cash, commercial paper or U.S. Treasury Bills. Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market), which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund.
 
At any time prior to the expiration of the futures contract, the Fund may close the position by taking an opposite position, which would effectively terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of maintenance margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund and the Fund realizes a gain or loss.
 
The use of futures contracts involve elements of market risk, which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of the futures contracts may decrease the effectiveness of the Fund’s strategies and potentially result in loss. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding futures contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options to reflect the current market value of the option as of the end of the reporting period.
 
The Fund may write covered options. “Covered” means that so long as the Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the underlying securities or currency or an option to purchase or sell the same underlying securities or currency having an expiration date of the covered option and an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the covered option, or will pledge cash or other liquid securities having a value equal to or greater than the fluctuating market value of the option securities or currencies. A Fund receives a premium for writing a call or put option, which is recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options. There is a risk of loss from a change in the value of such options, which may exceed the related premiums received. The Fund had no outstanding written option contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
4.  Federal Income Taxes:
 
  a)  Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. The Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years and the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains prior to the next fiscal year end. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.
 
  b)  Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of wash sale transactions, amortization adjustments, and differing tax treatment for investments in derivatives, REITs, RICs, and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund.
 
  c)  The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund (as adjusted for dividends payable) from ordinary income was $25,681 and $29,201 and the distributions from long-term capital gains were $29,106 and $93,161, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Fund designates these distributions as long-term capital gain dividends per IRC code Sec. 852(b)(3)(C).
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Fund’s components of distributable earnings (deficit) on a tax basis was undistributed ordinary income of $1,441, undistributed long-term capital gains of $212, accumulated capital and other losses of $8,862, unrealized depreciation $264,757 and total accumulated deficit of $(271,966).
 
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of wash sales losses and the mark-to-market adjustment for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Sec. 1256.
 
  d)  In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, the Fund has recorded reclassifications in its capital accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on the NAV of the Fund. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting for such items as net operating losses that reduce distribution requirements. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital depending on

  the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund recorded a reclassification of $111 to accumulated net investment income (loss), a reclassification of $(113) to accumulated net realized gain (loss) and a reclassification of $2 to Paid-in-Capital.
 
  e)  The Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for U.S. Federal Tax purposes as of December 31, 2008.
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had elected to defer post October losses for long-term capital gains of $8,862.
 
  f)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 — On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The Fund adopted FIN 48 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005 — 2008) and has determined there is no impact to the Fund’s financial statements.
 
5.  Expenses:
 
  a)  Investment Management and Advisory Agreements — HL Investment Advisors, LLC (HL Advisors) an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hartford, serves as investment manager to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement for the Hartford Series Fund, Inc. As investment manager, HL Advisors has overall investment supervisory responsibility for the Fund. In addition, HL Advisors provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of the Fund.
 
In addition, HL Advisors has contracted with Hartford Investment Management for the provision of day-to-day investment management services to the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.
 
  b)  Administrative Services Agreement — Under the Administrative Services Agreement between HLIC and the Fund, HLIC provides administrative services to the Fund and receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.20% for the first $5 billion in average net assets, 0.18% of average net assets for the next $5 billion and 0.17% for average net assets over $10 billion.

  e)  Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses incurred by the Fund are allocated to classes within the Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of the Fund and each class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to the Fund or to specific classes within the Fund.
 
  f)  Fees Paid Indirectly — The Fund has entered into agreements with State Street Global Advisors, LLC and Frank Russell Securities, Inc. to partially recapture non-discounted trade commissions. Such rebates are used to pay a portion of the Fund’s expenses. In addition, the Fund’s custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the Fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended December 31, 2008, these amounts are included in the Statement of Operations.

  g)  Distribution Plan for Class IB shares — The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Class IB shares. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Fund is authorized to compensate the Distributor, Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. (a wholly

  owned, ultimate subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”) from assets attributable to the Class IB shares for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Class IB shares, subject to the Fund Board’s review and approval.
 
The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund may pay annually up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to its Class IB shares for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class IB shares. The Board has the authority to suspend or reduce these payments at any point in time. Under the terms of the Distribution Plan and the principal underwriting agreement, the Fund is authorized to make payments monthly to the Distributor which may be used to pay or reimburse entities providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Class IB shares for such entities’ fees or expenses incurred or paid in that regard. The Fund’s distribution fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
  h)  Payment from Affiliate — The Fund is available for purchase by the separate accounts of different variable universal life policies, variable annuity products, and funding agreements and it is offered directly to certain qualified retirement plans (collectively “Products”). Although existing Products contain transfer restrictions, some Products, particularly older variable annuity products, do not contain restrictions on the frequency of transfers. In addition, as the result of the settlement of litigation against Hartford Life, (the issuer of such variable annuity products), the Fund’s ability to restrict transfers by certain owners of older variable annuity products was limited. During 2006, these annuity owners surrendered the older variable annuity contracts that were the subject of prior litigation. In February 2005, Hartford Life agreed with the Board of Directors of the Fund to indemnify the Fund for any material harm caused to the Fund from frequent trading by these contracts owners.
 
The total return in the financial highlights includes the impact of the payment from affiliates. Had the payment from affiliate for unrestricted transfers been excluded, the impact on total return for the year ended December 31, 2006, would have been 0.01% for Class IA and Class IB.
 
6.  Investment Transactions:
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund’s aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. government obligations) amounted to $51,749 and $299,685, respectively.
 
7.  Line of Credit:
 
The Fund participates in a $1 billion committed revolving line of credit facility. The facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the arrangement, the Fund is required to own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also requires a fee to be paid based on the amount of the commitment. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not have any borrowings under this facility.
 
8.  Industry Classifications:
 
Other than the Industry Classifications: “Other Investment Pools and Funds”, and “Exchange Traded Funds”, Equity Industry Classifications used in this report are the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and service mark of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Hartford Series Fund, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Hartford Index HLS Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the thirty-four portfolios constituting the Hartford Series Fund, Inc.) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Hartford Index HLS Fund of the Hartford Series Fund, Inc. at December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
 
 
Your Fund’s Expenses
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period of June 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
 
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Hartford Index HLS Fund
 
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
 
 
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements after an initial two year period.
 
At a meeting held on August 5-6, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the investment management agreement for the Fund with HL Investment Advisors, LLC (“HL Advisors”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement between HL Advisors and the Fund’s sub-adviser (“Sub-adviser,” and together with HL Advisors, “Advisers”) — Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”) (collectively, the “Agreements”). In the months preceding this meeting, the Board requested, received, and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to them on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund and the related Agreements by Fund officers and representatives of HL Advisors at the Board’s meetings on June 24-25, 2008 and August 5-6, 2008. In considering the approval of the Agreements, the Board also took into account information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, including reports on Fund performance, compliance, shareholder services, and the other services provided to the Fund by the Advisers, and their affiliates.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel. In addition, the Independent Directors engaged two service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to the Fund. Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how the Fund’s management fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios, and investment performance compared to those of mutual funds with similar investment objectives in various peer groups (“Peer Funds”). The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consulting firm (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating the Fund’s management fees, sub-advisory fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance.
 
The Board considered the Agreements for the Fund at the June and August meetings. In determining to continue the Agreements for the Fund, the Board determined that the proposed management fee structure for the Fund was fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In determining to renew the Agreements, the Board considered the following categories of material factors, among others, relating to the Agreements.
 
Nature, Extent And Quality Of Services
 
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements, the range of services provided, and the Advisers’ organizational structure, systems and personnel.1( The Board received information on the experience of senior management and relevant investment and other personnel of the Advisers, and the adequacy of the time and attention devoted by them to the Fund. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as its commitment to expand the resources devoted to supporting Fund operations and to continuously evaluate whether additional support is needed, particularly in light of increased regulatory requirements and other developments. In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board, and responsiveness to Board inquiries.
 
The Board also requested and reviewed information on each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, compliance history, and a report from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer on each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators. In doing so, the Board noted the Advisers’ support of the Fund’s compliance control structure, particularly the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Fund’s obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
With respect to HL Advisors, the Board noted that under the Agreements, HL Advisors is responsible for the management of the Fund, including overseeing fund operations and service providers, and Hartford Life provides administrative services to the Fund as well as the investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising sub-advisers. The Board considered its experiences with HL Advisors and Hartford Life, with respect to each of these services. The Board considered that HL Advisors or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Fund’s officers and paying their salaries and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by HL Advisors’ affiliates.
 
With respect to the Sub-adviser, who provides day-to-day portfolio management services, the Board considered the quality of the Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, its ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, its investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by HL Advisors and the Sub-adviser.
 
Performance of the Fund, HL Advisors, and the Sub-Adviser
 
The Board considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered information and materials provided to the Board from HL Advisors and Lipper comparing the Fund’s short-term and long-term investment performance over various periods of time with appropriate benchmark indices, and with a performance universe of funds selected by Lipper. This information included performance reports (provided by Lipper and HL Advisors) and discussions with portfolio managers and other representatives of the Sub-adviser at Board meetings throughout the year, as well as the information provided especially for the annual contract review. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to the Fund’s performance track record. The Board considered HL Advisors’ cooperation with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of the Fund at periodic meetings throughout the year.
 
 
(1 The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with HL Advisors under which HL Advisors provides investment advisory services to the Fund, and a separate administrative agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company (“Hartford Life”), under which Hartford Life provides certain administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered the fees payable under both agreements in the aggregate.

The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund over the different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated each Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s performance for these time periods, with specific attention to information indicating any underperformance of the Fund for specific time periods relative to a peer group or benchmark, and the causes for such underperformance. In evaluating the performance of the Fund, the Board also considered whether the Fund had been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful performance track record.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance over time has been satisfactory, and that it had continued confidence in HL Advisors’ and the Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Fund.
 
Costs of the Services and Profitability
 
The Board reviewed information regarding HL Advisors’ cost to provide investment management and related services to the Fund and HL Advisors’ profitability, both overall and for the Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HL Advisors and its affiliates from all services provided to the Fund and all aspects of their relationship with the Fund.
 
The Board considered the costs and profitability information for HL Advisors and Hartford Investment Management in the aggregate.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Fund would not be excessive.
 
Comparison of Fees and Expenses
 
The Board considered comparative information with respect to the investment management fees to be paid by the Fund to HL Advisors and the total expense ratio of the Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HL Advisors and the Sub-adviser relating to the management fees and total operating expenses for the Fund. The Board also reviewed written materials from Lipper providing comparative information about the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios relative to those of peer groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Fund and Peer Funds are imprecise, given the differing service levels and characteristics of mutual funds, and the different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Lipper assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of the Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to the Fund’s management fees and total operating expenses.
 
Based on these considerations, and the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, the Board concluded that the Fund’s fees and total operating expenses are reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale
 
The Board requested and considered information regarding the Advisers’ realization of economies of scale with respect to the Fund, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors. With respect to HL Advisors, the Board considered representations from HL Advisors that it is difficult to anticipate whether and the extent to which economies may be realized by HL Advisors as assets grow over time. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for the Fund, which reduces fees as Fund assets grow over time. The Board recognized that a Fund with assets beyond the last breakpoint level continues to benefit from economies of scale, because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee, resulting in lower overall effective management fee rates. The Board considered that the Fund may achieve some economies as certain fixed expenses are spread over a larger asset base, noting that there is no precise way to measure such economies, and that certain expenses do not necessarily decrease as assets increase. The Board also considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce Fund expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders, and that a schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale.
 
The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Lipper showing how management fee schedules of Peer Funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of investors as a Peer Fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HL Advisors, Lipper, and the Consultant, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints, or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.
 
After considering all of the information available to it, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of the Fund’s investors, based on currently available information and the effective advisory fees and expense ratio for the Fund at its current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor future growth in Fund assets and the appropriateness of additional breakpoints.
 
Other Benefits
 
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the role of the Fund in supporting the variable life insurance and variable annuity products offered by The Hartford. The Board reviewed information noting that Hartford Life, an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives fees from the Fund for providing certain administrative services for the Fund, and that Hartford Life also receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Fund, and the Board considered information on expected profits to Hartford Life or its affiliates for such services.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Investor Services Company, LLC (“HISC”), the Fund’s transfer agent and an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives transfer agency compensation from the Fund, and the Board reviewed information on the expected profitability of the Fund’s transfer agency function to HISC. The Board considered information provided by HL Advisors indicating that the fees charged by HISC to the Fund is reasonable and in line with industry standards.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc., as principal underwriter of the Fund, receives 12b-1 fees from the Fund. The Board also noted that certain affiliates of HL Advisors distribute shares of the Fund and receive compensation in that connection.

Hartford Index HLS Fund
 
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) — (continued)
 
The Board considered benefits to the Sub-adviser from its proposed use of the Fund’s brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research, and representations from HL Advisors and the Sub-adviser that the Sub-adviser would not be making revenue-sharing or other payments to HL Advisors or its affiliates in connection with the distribution of the Fund.
 
The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the Hartford family of funds. The Board considered HL Advisors’ efforts to provide investors in the family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes, and its entrepreneurial risk in initiating new Funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.
 
* * * *
 
Based upon its review of these various factors, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the Agreements for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately in executive session on several occasions, with independent legal counsel, to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Advisers HLS Fund returned -31.64% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, versus the returns of -36.99% for the S&P 500 Index and 5.70% for the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index. The Fund underperformed the -29.60% return of the average fund in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds that hold between 60%-80% in equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash, and cash equivalents.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as a widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These included the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy weakened further, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a U.S. and global recession, investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity and credit-related securities broadly in favor of the safety of government bonds. The credit crunch intensified as lending standards tightened and broad-based deleveraging occurred. During the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate to a target range of 0% – 0.25% and indicated that low rates are likely to persist for an extended period of time. The government also introduced a number of liquidity programs in an effort to alleviate pressures in the fixed income markets and renew investor confidence.

Treasury yields reached record lows, economic conditions deteriorated further, and a U.S. recession was confirmed in December.
Equity markets as measured by the S&P 500 returned -36.99% during the period, as all sectors within the index posted double-digit declines. Financials (-56%), Materials (-46%), and Information Technology (-43%) were the biggest laggards, while traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-15%) and Health Care (-23%) declined the least. The bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Index, returned +5.7% during the period. However, amid the flight to quality, Treasury securities rose while most non-Treasury fixed income sectors fell.
The Fund has three primary levers to generate investment performance: equity investments, fixed income investments, and asset allocation among stocks, bonds, and cash. During the period, the equity portion and the fixed income portion of the Fund both underperformed their respective benchmarks. Asset allocation detracted from the Fund’s performance as the Fund’s overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to equities and underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) to fixed income hurt relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns.
Equity underperformance versus the benchmark was primarily driven by security selection, which was weakest in Financials, Information Technology, and Energy. Sector positioning, which is a result of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) security selection, also detracted from performance due to underweight exposures to Consumer Staples and Utilities, and overweight exposures to Financials and Information Technology.
Stocks that detracted the most from the equity portion of the Fund’s relative returns during the period were Washington Mutual (Financials), Gazprom (Energy) and Lehman Brothers (Financials). Shares of consumer and small business banking company Washington Mutual fell significantly early in the year on fears that the losses it would incur on its residential real estate portfolio could force another dilutive capital raise and depress earnings for the next several years. We believed the company had substantial resources to weather the current environment and absorb the coming losses through the credit cycle. However, the FDIC forced the company’s hand by publicly expressing concern about the quality of their mortgage assets and by facilitating an acquisition by JP Morgan to minimize future risk to FDIC insurance assets. Gazprom, the world’s largest natural gas producer, saw its shares fall amid a weakening economic environment, escalating geopolitical concerns, and declining natural gas prices. Investment bank Lehman Brothers’ shares collapsed as the company fell victim to the financial crisis during the third quarter; lack of confidence, a liquidity crisis, and an inability to attract a partner ultimately led to the firm’s demise. Significant detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) returns also included General Electric (Industrials), Alcoa (Materials) and Goldman Sachs (Financials).
Top contributors to equity performance, on a relative basis, during the period were Shionogi (Health Care), Delta Air Lines (Industrials) and Comcast (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Shionogi, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, rose after the company reported steady earnings growth driven by sales of cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor and allergy drug Claritin. Delta Air Lines’ share price rallied on falling oil prices in the second half of the year. Shares of cable company Comcast outperformed as the company’s solid operating results during a challenging economic environment helped the stock price. The Fund’s holdings in Qualcomm (Information Technology) and Genentech (Health Care) also contributed positively to the equity portion of the Fund’s returns on an absolute basis.
The fixed income portion of the Fund underperformed its benchmark primarily due to its overweight allocations to spread sectors (i.e. those that offer yield premiums over Treasuries). The Fund’s allocations to mortgage-backed securities (MBS), in particular non-agency MBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and asset-backed securities (ABS), and an overweight to corporate bonds all detracted from relative results. During the twelve-month period, mortgage-backed pass-through securities underperformed duration-equivalent Treasuries due to increased interest rate volatility and a lack of market liquidity which led to forced selling of even higher quality assets. Non-agency MBS also suffered in this environment as the liquidity premium combined with elevated risk aversion pushed valuations materially lower. CMBS spreads widened as recession concerns mounted and speculation increased that commercial real estate defaults would rise. Corporate spreads also widened amid growing risk aversion, a lack of liquidity, and the largest bankruptcy in corporate bond history, Lehman Brothers. The Fund’s overweight positioning in these sectors detracted from relative performance. In addition, the Fund was positioned with an overweight to corporate debt issued by Financials. Financial issuers, at the epicenter of the credit crunch, underperformed and the Fund’s credit security selection had a negative impact on relative results.
What is the outlook?
We believe that recent government intervention will reduce systemic risk. However, U.S. economic fundamentals remain weak and the risk of further downside surprises in growth remains.
The equity portion of the Fund is managed with a large cap, core approach. We apply a bottom-up investment process in constructing a diversified portfolio. We look for companies that exhibit the following qualities: industry leadership, strong balance sheets, solid management, high return on equity,

accelerating earnings, and/or attractive valuation with a catalyst. At the end of the period, our bottom-up investment approach resulted in overweight exposures in Information Technology, Financials and Consumer Discretionary, as we found a number of attractive investment opportunities in these sectors. The Fund’s largest underweights relative to the S&P 500 were in Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Telecommunication Services.
The fixed income portion of the Fund ended the period positioned with a neutral duration (i.e. a measure of interest rate sensitivity) posture. We expect that the global slowdown will lead to further write-downs and deleveraging for corporations as the financial system struggles to raise new capital and that profits will be pressured amid slower growth. However, as of the end of the period, the Fund valuations were attractive with spreads at levels wider than in past recessions, and we positioned the Fund with an overweight to the credit sector. Government initiatives were focused on the mortgage sector and mortgage spreads continue to be attractive relative to Treasuries. The Fund ended the period with an allocation to MBS pass-throughs and select non-agency MBS, where default concerns priced into the valuations were excessive. In the CMBS market, wide spreads reflect deteriorating fundamentals. We continue to believe that there is strong collateralization in senior CMBS tranches. These securities are priced for high levels of losses and we believe that the implied loss levels are too severe. We also held a modest allocation to the ABS sector primarily in auto and credit card deals at period end.
The equity and fixed income managers will continue to work collaboratively to make decisions regarding portfolio weights in stocks, bonds, and cash. As of December 31, 2008, the Fund’s equity exposure was at 68% compared to 60% in its benchmark and at the upper end of the Fund’s 50-70% range.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund returned -45.59% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, which returned -37.31% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -38.66% return of the average fund in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
After rising for five consecutive years, equity markets, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, fell in 2008 as investors sought to shed risk in response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a looming global recession. An extended credit crunch has reshaped the financial landscape, beginning with the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns in February and culminating more recently in the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also slowed, sending energy and commodities prices lower.
Weakness was broad-based as every sector in the Russell 3000 Index declined by double digit amounts. Financials (-50%), Materials (-47%), and Information Technology (-43%) led the way lower. Relative strength was seen in traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-17%), Health Care (-24%), and Utilities (-28%).
The Fund underperformed its benchmark primarily due to weak stock selection. Fund results trailed those of the benchmark in nine of ten economic sectors, with the largest underperformance in the Materials, Financials, and Energy sectors. Selection was stronger in Information Technology. Allocation among sectors, a result of the bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process, was a negative contributor, largely due to underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) positions in Consumer Staples and Utilities. The Fund benefited from a modest cash position, which helped relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance in a downward-trending market.

The largest detractors from relative returns were Vedanta Resources (Materials), Ford Motor (Consumer Discretionary), and American International Group (AIG) (Financials). Vedanta, a diversified London-based mining company with operations in India, Zambia and Australia, was negatively impacted by falling commodity prices and negative investor reaction to a proposed reorganization plan. Shares of automotive company Ford Motor fell on concerns about the company’s near term earnings outlook and the unexpected retirement of its Chief Financial Officer. Insurer AIG saw its shares plummet as liquidity constraints and credit rating downgrades led to an unprecedented government bailout of the firm. The Fund also was negatively impacted by its underweight position in Exxon Mobil, a relatively strong performer during the year. Top detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) results included industrial and financial conglomerate General Electric, financial services company Bank of America, and investment bank Goldman Sachs.
ACE (Financials), Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), and Roche (Health Care) were among the top contributors to relative returns. ACE, a global property and casualty insurance company, got a share price boost from robust earnings results. Shares of Israeli drug manufacturer Teva Pharmaceuticals rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings driven by strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis drug Copaxone. Shares of Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche benefited from positive news related to its portfolio of cancer drugs, including one used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The Fund also benefited from its underweight position in Apple, shares of which fell significantly during the period. Top absolute contributors included airline operator Delta Air Lines, agricultural products company Archer-Daniels-Midland, and online travel firm Priceline.com.
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment we continue to focus our efforts on stock-by-stock fundamental research. These bottom-up investment decisions have resulted in overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) positions in the Health Care, Financials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors and underweight exposure to Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Telecommunication Services. The Fund’s largest absolute positions were in the Health Care, Financials, and Information Technology sectors.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund returned -32.43% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned -36.99% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -35.83% return of the average fund in the Lipper Equity Income VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as credit- related issues contributed to the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a potential U.S. recession, equity investors sought to shed risk.
Overall equity market performance was weak for the period across all market capitalizations: large cap equities (-37%), mid caps (-36%), and small caps (-34%) declined as represented by the S&P 500, S&P 400 MidCap, and Russell 2000 indices respectively. During the twelve month period all sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted sharp negative returns led lower by Financials (-56%), Materials (-46%) and Information Technology (-43%). Traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-15%) and Health Care (-23%) declined the least.

was due to both stock selection and sector allocation. Stock selection was strongest in the Information Technology, Energy and Financials sectors. An underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) allocation to Information Technology and Financials and an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) allocation to Energy contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. The Fund also benefited from a modest cash position in a declining equity market.
The Fund’s top contributors to relative performance during the period were Chevron (Energy), AstraZeneca (Health Care), and Nestle (Consumer Staples). Chevron benefited from the rally in crude oil and natural gas prices during the first part of the period, pushing the company’s shares higher. Shares of pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca gained as the market’s near-term worries over patent risk for Seroquel and Nexium eased, and cholesterol drug Crestor beat cautious expectations. Shares of Nestle performed well as the world’s largest food maker reported strong earnings driven by volume growth from emerging markets and better-than-expected margins. Retail giant Wal-Mart (Consumer Staples), specialty materials company Rohm & Haas (Materials), and insurer MetLife (Financials) were top contributors to the Fund’s absolute (i.e. total return) performance.
Top detractors from relative performance were Johnson & Johnson (Health Care), UBS (Financials), and Deere & Company (Industrials). Johnson & Johnson, a medical device, consumer product, and pharmaceutical company, performed relatively well during the period due to its diversified business model. The Fund did not hold shares in the company, which hurt relative performance. Diversified financials firm UBS was hurt by the credit and liquidity crises that continue to impact financial companies. Additionally, lawsuits in the U.S. regarding illegal sheltering of client assets from U.S. taxes have resulted in unwanted publicity for their U.S. wealth management business. Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment company, moved lower on soft commodity prices, concerns about the fiscal health of farmers around the globe, and on fears that its captive finance company would have problems funding itself. Bank of America (Financials) and General Electric (Industrials) were top detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance.
What is the outlook?
Liquidity constraints continued to dominate the economic landscape at the end of the year as the Federal Government was forced to undertake its largest role in the economy since the Great Depression. Despite an equity market bounce to finish the year, the economic outlook remains grim. Our investment discipline is focused on investing in areas of strong demand and avoiding areas of oversupply. In Financials, balance sheet exposures appear to be playing out. Credit supply is tight, but demand is low. We remain positive on natural gas and oil, despite their recent poor performance and have therefore maintained an overweight to the Energy sector.
At the end of the period, our largest overweights were to the Energy, Telecommunication Services, and Utilities sectors, while we were most underweight the Information Technology, Consumer Staples, and Consumer Discretionary sectors relative to the S&P 500 Index.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA of the Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund returned -42.25% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI AC (All Country) World Free ex U.S. Index, which returned -45.24% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -42.59% return of the average fund in the Lipper International Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
2008 was one of the most volatile years in recent history. Markets fell to open the year and, despite a late-Spring rally, fell sharply in the second half as global economic news worsened. Events such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual all highlighted the widespread destruction being wrought by a sudden withdrawal of credit from the global financial system. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. Equity investors reacted to these events by shedding risk, leading to large declines in every sector of the MSCI All Country World Free ex–U.S. Index. The hardest hit areas were Financials (-54%), Materials (-53%), and Industrials (-47%). Less economically-sensitive areas like Health Care (-19%), Utilities (-30%), and Consumer Staples (-31%) declined the least.
The Fund’s outperformance versus its benchmark was due to favorable allocation among sectors, a result of the bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) stock selection process, as well as favorable stock selection in Financials. Relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance benefited from overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) positions in Health Care and Consumer Staples and underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) positions in Materials and Financials. This more than offset weak stock selection in several sectors, particularly Energy, Utilities, and Materials.

Top contributors to relative performance during the period included Teva Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), Synthes (Health Care), and Nestle (Consumer Staples). Shares of Teva, the world’s largest generic pharmaceutical company, rose after the company raised its fiscal year 2008 earnings per share outlook above consensus estimates. Synthes, a Swiss medical device company, published very solid first-half results that were operationally strong, pushing its shares higher. Nestle is the world’s largest food maker. The company reported strong earnings driven by volume growth from emerging markets and successful execution, boosting its share price. Stocks that contributed most to absolute (i.e. total return) returns were German reinsurance company Munich Re (Financials), and Japanese communications firms Softbank (Telecommunication Services) and Nippon Telephone & Telegraph (Telecommunication Services).
The largest detractors from relative returns were Xstrata (Materials), Talisman Energy (Energy), and Gazprom (Energy). Xstrata is a Swiss-based diversified mining group. Shares in the company fell amid weakening commodity prices and depressed sentiment. Talisman Energy, a Canadian exploration and production company, saw its shares pressured as oil prices spiraled lower. Russian gas company Gazprom’s stock price fell with the continued decline in commodity prices and was further impacted by the broad downturn in Russian equities as investors sought to liquidate risky assets. Other detractors from absolute returns included Swiss bank UBS (Financials) and Japanese finance company Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (Financials).
What is the outlook?
2008 was an extraordinary year in financial markets as nearly every asset class recorded significant price declines. Deleveraging across the financial sector accelerated into the fourth quarter, limiting the availability of credit to even the most secure corporate borrowers and exacerbating a slowdown across the real economy. We expect that 2009 will continue to be difficult as we begin to see the impact of the deterioration of the real economy, leading to higher unemployment and increased losses on consumer credit.
At year-end we maintained a defensive posture with our largest overweight positions in Health Care, Telecom Services and Consumer Staples. Looking into 2009, we estimate the cyclical downturn may last several quarters, leading us to favor companies with strong cash flow generation, healthy balance sheets, and a diversified client base.
We ended the period most underweight Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials. In Financials, consolidation and government intervention favor good management in companies with strong balance sheets that can gain share and improve returns over time, effectively becoming national champions. We continue to look for signals that the market is stabilizing, focusing on four key areas: government intervention, bank recapitalization, credit spread reduction, and a return of liquidity to the financial system.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Small Company HLS Fund returned -40.60% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned -38.54% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the -41.12% return of the average fund in the Lipper Small Cap Growth VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one year period was one of the most volatile in recent history. After a positive start to the year, the global equity markets stumbled on credit crunch related issues such as the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, the government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a global recession, equity investors sought to shed risk. In this environment, small cap, mid cap and large cap stocks all declined by over 30% during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 (-34%), S&P 400 MidCap (-36%) and S&P 500 (-37%) indices, respectively. All sectors within the Russell 2000 Growth Index posted double digit declines. Energy (-51%), Telecommunication Services (-49%), Materials (-47%), and Consumer Discretionary (-44%) declined the most while Consumer Staples (-19%) declined the least.
The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period primarily due to weak stock selection within Financials, Information Technology, and Energy. Sector allocation helped performance due to an underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) position in Energy and an overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) position in Telecommunication Services. Stock selection in Telecommunication Services helped performance during the period, as did a moderate allocation to cash in a declining market.
On an individual stock basis, Focus Media (Consumer Discretionary) was the biggest setback to relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark)

performance. The China-based digital advertising and media company’s shares were beset by a series of company-specific issues, including management changes, accounting questions, and mobile spamming. A broad market sell-off across China compounded share price weakness. MF Global (Financials), a leading broker of exchange traded futures and options, also significantly hurt results. A rogue trading incident and consequent misgivings about MF Global’s controls and counterparty risk led the stock price to fall. We eliminated the position in favor of more attractive opportunities. ON Semiconductor (Information Technology) also hurt the Fund as semiconductors were impacted by global economic weakness, particularly in the auto and industrial sectors. This deterioration also caused ON Semiconductor to withdraw its proposal to acquire Amtel Corporation, further impacting the share price. Other significant detractors from absolute returns included Solutia (Materials) and Forest Oil (Energy).
Strong earnings and solid growth across practice areas and geographies boosted shares of Aecom Technology (Industrials), the top contributor to returns relative to the benchmark. In addition, Energy holding Cabot Oil & Gas (Energy), an independent exploration and production company with oil and gas properties in North America, and Centennial Communications (Telecommunications), a wireless service provider, contributed to relative performance. Cabot Oil & Gas posted gains on rising natural gas prices, impressive results in their East Texas acreage that helped boost reserves, and disciplined execution that helped control exploration and development costs. We took profit on Cabot Oil & Gas before the broad commodities sell off. Centennial Communications climbed after AT&T made a bid to acquire it. Other significant contributors to absolute returns included Millennium Pharmaceuticals (Health Care) and Arch Coal (Energy).
What is the outlook?
The overall market environment looks challenging for 2009. We are in a period of tremendous uncertainty. Confidence in our global financial system has been badly damaged by the contagion which began with the U.S. housing slump and has spread to the collapse of major financial institutions, a transformation of Wall Street, a seizure of global credit markets, and the ensuing global recession.
Despite the uncertainty, the Fund continues to focus on stocks of companies that we see as having unique business models, special market opportunities or sound fundamentals that should allow them to deliver growth during these turbulent times. The Fund remains well diversified, with holdings across all major market sectors. Bottom-up, fundamental research-driven stock-by-stock investment decisions led to overweights in Financials, Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, Industrials, and Consumer Staples relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index at the end of the period. The Fund ended the period underweight in Health Care, Energy, Materials, and Utilities. Our largest holdings included Aecom Technology (Industrials), Solera Holdings (Information Technology), and Waste Connections (Industrials).
At the end of the period, 51% of the Fund’s assets were managed by Wellington Management Company and 49% were managed by Hartford Investment Management Company.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Stock HLS Fund returned -43.13% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index which returned -36.99% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -38.76% return of the average fund in the Lipper Large Cap Core VP-UF Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The one-year period ended December 31, 2008 was one of the most volatile in history. After a positive start to the year, global equity markets stumbled as the widespread contraction in credit led to major changes in the financial landscape. These changes included the near collapse of the large investment bank Bear Stearns, government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the fall of insurance firm AIG, and the seizure of banking firm Washington Mutual. The global economy also weakened, sending energy and commodities prices lower. In response to increasing concerns about the financial system and a potential U.S. recession, equity investors sought to shed risk, punishing equity securities broadly.
Large (-37%), mid (-36%), and small (-34%) cap stocks declined, by similar levels during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 , S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indices, respectively. The same was true for Growth (-38%) and Value (-37%) stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value indices. All ten sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted sharp negative returns during the period, led by Financials (-55%), Materials (-46%) and Information Technology (-43%). Traditionally defensive sectors Consumer Staples (-15%) and Health Care (-23%) declined the least.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the benchmark was driven by security selection, which was weakest in Financials, Information Technology, and Energy. Sector positioning, which is a result of bottom-up (i.e. stock by stock fundamental research) security selection, also detracted from performance due to underweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was less than the benchmark position) exposures to Consumer Staples and Utilities, and overweight (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) exposures to Financials and Information Technology.

Stocks that detracted the most from relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) returns during the period were Washington Mutual (Financials), Gazprom (Energy) and Lehman Brothers (Financials). Shares of consumer and small business banking company Washington Mutual fell significantly early in the year on fears that the losses it would incur on its residential real estate portfolio could force another dilutive capital raise and further depress earnings. We believed the company had substantial resources to weather the current environment and absorb the coming losses through the credit cycle. However, the FDIC forced the company’s hand by publicly expressing concern about the quality of their mortgage assets and by facilitating an acquisition by JP Morgan to minimize future risk to FDIC insurance assets. Russia-based Gazprom, the world’s largest natural gas producer, saw its shares fall amid a weakening economic environment, escalating geopolitical concerns, and declining natural gas prices. Investment bank Lehman Brothers’ shares collapsed as the company fell victim to the financial crisis during the third quarter; lack of confidence, a liquidity crisis, and inability to attract a partner ultimately led to the firm’s demise. Significant detractors from absolute (i.e. total return) returns also included General Electric (Industrials) and Goldman Sachs (Financials).
Top contributors to relative performance during the period were Shionogi (Health Care), Comcast (Consumer Discretionary) and Delta Air Lines (Industrials). Shares of Shionogi, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, rose after the company reported steady earnings growth driven by sales of cholesterol lowering drug Crestor and allergy drug Claritin. Shares of cable company Comcast outperformed as the company’s solid operating results during a challenging economic environment helped the stock price. Delta Air Lines’ share price rallied on falling oil prices in the second half of the year. The Fund’s holdings in Qualcomm (Information Technology) and Genentech (Health Care) also contributed positively to the Fund’s returns on an absolute basis.
What is the outlook?
Global equities tumbled over the past year on a deteriorating outlook for earnings and sharply increased fear levels among investors. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve, in concert with several foreign governments, have embarked on an unprecedented series of rescue moves, but the results remain to be seen. In the wake of these capital market events, business and consumer confidence and spending have moved lower.
In this environment we continue to focus our efforts on stock-by-stock fundamental research to construct a diversified large-cap core portfolio. We look for companies that exhibit the following qualities: industry leadership, strong balance sheets, solid management, high return on equity, accelerating earnings, and/or attractive valuation with a catalyst. At the end of the period, our bottom-up investment approach resulted in overweight exposures in Financials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary, as we found a number of attractive investment opportunities in these sectors. The Fund’s largest underweights relative to the S&P 500 were in Utilities, Consumer Staples and Telecommunication Services.

How did the Fund perform?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund returned -7.62 % for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008, underperforming its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 5.24% for the same period, and underperforming the return of the average fund in the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt VP-UF Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, which returned -3.00%.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Broadly speaking, the Fund had greater exposure to widening risk premiums (i.e., increased credit spread or yield differential between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities) than the Index. Credit spreads gapped wider in all spread (i.e., non-Treasury) sectors to levels not seen since the Great Depression. Within this framework, various factors contributed to the Fund’s underperformance versus the Index.
The Fund maintained an overweight position (i.e., the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to the investment grade corporate bond sector throughout the year. The Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index produced an excess return (Treasury adjusted return or the index return less the return on a set of duration-equivalent Treasuries) of negative 17.86%. In particular, the Fund maintained an overweight to subordinate financial issues which suffered to a greater extent than senior financial issues.
Asset Backed Securities (ABS) detracted from performance as the consumer’s ability to repay loans declined and the housing crisis continued to worsen. The value of home equity ABS receivables declined as home prices continued to slip and similarly prices of auto loan and revolving consumer credit receivables continued to decline. Although exposure to these sectors of the ABS market represented a small fraction of the overall NAV of the Fund, the declining value of these receivables caused a negative impact on relative (i.e. performance of the Fund as measured against the benchmark) performance.

As the economy deteriorated and investors increased their default frequency expectations, the high yield segment of the market performed poorly, negatively impacting the Fund’s exposure to that sector. Similarly, our slight overweight to the emerging markets sector detracted from performance as the global economic environment presented significant challenges for both corporate and sovereign issuers. In addition, our small overweight in the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) sector also hurt performance as fundamentals in that sector continued to deteriorate.
On a more positive note, the Fund’s duration (i.e. a measure of interest rate sensitivity) and yield curve positioning had a positive impact on performance by taking advantage of the flattening in the curve (i.e., short and long term interest rates moving closer together). The Fund’s duration was positioned long compared to the Index while rates declined in the latter months of the year.
What is the outlook?
The remarkable increase in credit spreads to Treasury securities in the fourth quarter reflects both the consequences of a broad based rush to deleverage among institutional investors as well as a repricing of risk in a world of rapidly collapsing real economic activity. As the first quarter of 2009 begins it is difficult to forecast whether either of these factors are behind us. The modest recovery in credit spreads in mid to late December in the wake of the U.S. Government’s infusion of capital in the banking system and the Federal Reserve System’s (the “Fed”) announcement of prospective purchases of key fixed income asset classes does suggest investors believe a safety net has been put in place beneath the bond market. However, even if we are past the extremes in valuations and volatility, earnings and capital adequacy concerns as well as uncertainty about the extent of the economic decline will keep risk aversion a key theme.
We expect the Fed to continue to pursue any and all policies to restart the credit markets and the economy. The anticipated result is that short-term interest rates will remain near zero for the foreseeable future and the Fed will be a buyer of all fixed income asset classes, from Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Securities to Treasuries.
In this environment we do not expect either interest rates or credit spreads to move decisively higher or lower from current levels. Rather, we expect ranges to prevail as the Fed holds rates low and investors digest what we expect to be a pattern of conflicting data. As a result, we believe duration opportunities will exist in the context of the market moving to the extremes of the range. With respect to credit sectors, we believe the best opportunities will be in high quality issuers whose balance sheets and cash flow best protect bondholder interests. Diversification will also be an important theme as the economic crosscurrents of a severe recession raise the risks to over-concentrated positions.

Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund

 
Schedule of Investments — (continued)
December 31, 2008
(000’s Omitted)
 
(A) The aggregate value of securities valued in good faith at fair value as determined under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors at December 31, 2008, was $11,757, which represents 0.30% of total net assets. This calculation excludes securities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets and whose prices were adjusted pursuant to a third party pricing service methodology approved by the Board of Directors.
 
(CC) Perpetual maturity security. Maturity date shown is the first call date.
 
(D) Currently non-income producing. For long-term debt securities, items identified are in default as to payment of interest and/or principal.
 
(F) The company is in bankruptcy. The investment held by the fund is not in default.
 
(I) Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum, exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers. Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, these issues are determined to be liquid. The aggregate value of these securities at December 31, 2008, was $248,214, which represents 6.35% of total net assets.
 
(K) Securities contain some restrictions as to public resale. These securities comply with Regulation S, rules governing offers and sales made outside the United States without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and are determined to be liquid. At December 31, 2008, the market value of these securities amounted to $5,949 or 0.15% of net assets.
 
(L) Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at December 31, 2008.
 
(M) The interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the effective yield on the date of acquisition.
 
(N) The interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the average coupon as of December 31, 2008.
 
(?) The interest rates disclosed for interest only strips represent effective yields based upon estimated future cash flows at December 31, 2008.
 
(Q) The cost of securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis at December 31, 2008 was $892.
 
(V) Senior floating rate interests in which the Fund invests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States Banks, or (iii) the bank’s certificate of deposit rate. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The interest rate indicated is the rate in effect at December 31, 2008.
 
(X) Convertible security.
 
(B) All principal amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

(H) The following securities are considered illiquid. Illiquid securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are often not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may have contractual restrictions on resale. A security may also be considered illiquid if the security lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time.

Hartford Series Fund, Inc.
 
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
(000’s Omitted)
 
1.  Organization:
 
The Hartford HLS Funds serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company and its affiliates (“HLIC”) and certain qualified retirement plans. Certain Hartford HLS Funds may also serve as underlying investment options for certain variable annuity and variable life separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the accompanying variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the funds permitted by their plans.
 
Hartford Series Fund, Inc. (“Company”) is an open-end management investment company comprised of thirty-four portfolios. Eight portfolios are included in these financial statements. They are Hartford Advisers HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, and Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, (each a “Fund” or together the “Funds”).
 
The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.
 
Each Fund is divided into Class IA and Class IB shares. Each class is offered at the per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge and is subject to the same expenses, except that the Class IB shares are subject to distribution fees charged pursuant to Distribution and Service Plans. These Distribution and Service Plans have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
 
  a)  Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
 
Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis.
 
  b)  Security Valuation — Except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, the Funds generally use market prices in valuing portfolio securities. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the security as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of that Fund’s Board of Directors. Market prices may be deemed unreliable, for example, if a security is thinly traded or if an event has occurred after the close of the security’s primary markets, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, referred to as the “Valuation Time”) that is expected to affect the value of the portfolio security. The circumstances in which a Fund may use fair value pricing include, among others: (i) the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructuring or defaults; (ii) the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or governmental actions; (iii) trading restrictions on securities; (iv) thinly traded securities and (v) market events such as trading halts and early market closings. In addition, with respect to the valuation of stocks primarily traded on foreign markets, each Fund uses a fair value pricing service approved by that Fund’s Board of Directors, which employs quantitative models which evaluate changes in the value of foreign market proxies (e.g., futures contracts, ADR’s, ETF’s) after the close of the foreign markets but before the close of the Exchange. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the NAV of their respective shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is primarily traded but before the close of the Exchange. There can be no assurance that any Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if the Fund were to sell the security at approximately the time at which that Fund determines its NAV.
 
Debt securities (other than short-term obligations and senior floating rate interests) held by the Funds are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units of debt securities. Senior floating rate interests generally trade in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and are priced through an independent pricing service utilizing independent market quotations from loan dealers or financial institutions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities in accordance with procedures established by that Fund’s Board of Directors. Generally, each Fund may use fair valuation in regard to debt securities when a Fund holds defaulted or distressed securities or securities in a company in which a reorganization is pending. Short-term investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased are valued based on market quotations until the remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. The Hartford Money Market HLS Fund’s investments and investments of other Funds that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Exchange traded equity securities shall be valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded (the “Primary Market”) at the Valuation Time. If the security did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the Valuation Time at the last reported sale price on another exchange where it trades. The value of an equity security not traded on any exchange but traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) or another OTC market shall be valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is traded as of the Valuation Time. If it is not possible to determine the last reported sale price or official closing price on the relevant exchange

­ ­  60  ­ ­

or market at the Valuation Time, the value of the security shall be taken to be the most recent mean between bid and asked prices on such exchange or market at the Valuation Time.
 
Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates.
 
Options contracts on securities, currencies, indexes, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments shall be valued at their most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on the Primary Market on which the instrument is traded. If the instrument did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on another exchange or market where it did trade.
 
Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. If a settlement price is not available, futures contracts will be valued at the most recent trade price as of the Valuation Time. If there were no trades, the contract shall be valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask prices as of the Valuation Time.
 
Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in securities in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
A forward currency contract shall be valued based on the price of the underlying currency at the prevailing interpolated exchange rate, which is a combination of the spot currency rate and the forward currency rate. Spot currency rates and forward currency rates are obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily basis not more than one hour before the Valuation Time.
 
Swaps are valued based on custom valuations furnished by an independent pricing service. Swaps for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
Other derivative or contractual type instruments shall be valued using market prices if such instruments trade on an exchange or market. If such instruments do not trade on an exchange or market, such instruments shall be valued at a price at which the counterparty to such contract would repurchase the instrument. In the event that the counterparty cannot provide a price, such valuation may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors.
 
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the valuation date.
 
  c)  Foreign Currency Transactions — The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
The Funds do not isolate that portion of portfolio security valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
 
  d)  Securities Lending — The Funds, except for the Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, may lend their securities to certain qualified brokers who pay these Funds negotiated lender fees. The loans are fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or U.S. Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements. The cash collateral is then invested in short-term money market instruments. The repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Securities. The adequacy of the collateral for securities on loan is monitored on a daily basis. For instances where the market value of collateral falls below the market value of the securities out on loan, such collateral is supplemented on the following business day.
 
While securities are on loan, each Fund is subject to the following risks: 1) that the borrower may default on the loan and that the collateral could be inadequate in the event the borrower defaults, 2) that the earnings on the collateral invested may not be sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan, 3) that the principal value of the collateral invested may decline and may not be sufficient to pay back the borrower for the amount of the collateral posted, 4) that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale which may place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities, 5) that return of loaned securities could be delayed and could interfere with portfolio management decisions and 6) that any efforts to recall the securities for purposes of voting a proxy may not be effective. No Funds had securities on loan as of December 31, 2008.
 
  e)  Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Funds may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”), or Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington”). These balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.
 
  f)  Repurchase Agreements — A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Funds enter into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies), including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities that serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by each Fund’s custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial account of the Funds or in a third party custodial account. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. Certain Funds, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  g)  Reverse Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by a Fund of portfolio assets concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Reverse repurchase agreements carry the risk that the market value of the securities which a Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price. A

reverse repurchase agreement is viewed as a collateralized borrowing by a Fund. Borrowing magnifies the potential for gain or loss on the portfolio securities of a Fund and, therefore, increases the possibility of a fluctuation in the Fund’s NAV. Reverse Repurchase Agreements are valued at proceeds plus accrued interest. There were no outstanding reverse repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2008.
 
  h)  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts that obligate the Funds to repurchase/replace or sell currencies at specified future dates. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies.
 
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain Funds as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had open forward foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
  i)  Indexed Securities — The Funds may invest in indexed securities whose values are linked to changes in interest rates, indices, or other underlying instruments. The Funds use these securities to increase or decrease their exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in using conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment and there may be a limit to the potential appreciation of the investment. Certain Funds had investments in indexed securities, as of December 31, 2008, as shown in the Schedule of Investments under Exchange Traded Funds.
 
  j)  Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Funds’ shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders or plan participants. The NAV of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the Exchange. The NAV is determined separately for each class of each Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of a Fund’s shares received by an insurance company or plan prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received by an insurance company or plan after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
 
Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Funds’ Board of Directors based upon the investment performance of the Funds. The policy of all Funds, except Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, is to pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains, if any, at least once a year.
 
Hartford Money Market HLS Fund seeks to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 by declaring a daily dividend from net investment income, including net short-term capital gains and losses, and by valuing its investments using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. Dividends are declared daily and distributed monthly.
 
Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing. These differences include foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales adjustments, related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies and certain derivatives, and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Funds’ capital accounts (see Note 4 (d)).
 
  k)  Illiquid and Restricted Securities — Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund which may invest up to 10% in such securities. “Illiquid Securities” are those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days, at approximately the price used to determine a Fund’s NAV. A Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities or other investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such securities or investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the securities or investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid securities or other investments may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of those that are liquid. Illiquid securities and investments also may be more difficult to value, due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such securities or investments, and investment in them may have an adverse impact on NAV. Each Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities, commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Funds’ Board of Directors. Certain Funds, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had illiquid or restricted securities as of December 31, 2008.
 
  l)  Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis — Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Funds on a forward commitment, or when-issued or delayed-delivery basis take place beyond the customary settlement period. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations, and the Funds identify securities segregated in their records with value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds had entered into outstanding when-issued or forward commitments as follows:
 
         
Fund
  Cost
 
Hartford Advisers HLS Fund
  $ 65,622  
Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund
    892  
 
  m)  Credit Risk — Credit risk depends largely on the perceived financial health of bond issuers. In general, lower rated bonds have higher credit risk. High yield bond prices can fall on bad news about the economy, an industry or a company. The share price, yield and total return of a Fund which holds securities with higher credit risk may fluctuate more than with less aggressive bond funds.
 
  n)  Senior Floating Rate Interests — Certain Funds, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, may invest in senior floating rate interests. Senior floating rate interests hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured by specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. Senior

  floating rate interests are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the senior floating rate interest. Senior floating rate interests are typically rated below-investment-grade, which suggests they are more likely to default and generally pay higher interest rates than investment-grade loans. A default could lead to non-payment of income which would result in a reduction of income to the Fund and there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.
 
  o)  Prepayment Risks — Most senior floating rate interests and certain debt securities allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Senior floating rate interests and securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. In addition, with respect to securities, rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower than expected rate, thereby effectively lengthening the maturity of the security and making the security more sensitive to interest rate changes. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities and certain asset-backed securities. Accordingly, the potential for the value of a senior floating rate interest or debt security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. For certain asset-backed securities, the actual maturity may be less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments. As a result, the timing of income recognition relating to these securities may vary based upon the actual maturity.
 
Senior floating rate interests or debt securities purchased to replace a prepaid loan or a debt security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid loan or debt security. Senior floating rate interests generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for the Borrower to repay, prepayments of senior floating rate interests may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior floating rate interests held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown in the Schedule of Investments.
 
  p)  Swaps — Certain Funds may enter into event linked swaps, including credit default swaps. The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, an index, or a basket of issuers. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. A “seller’s” exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract.
 
Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaps. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate multiplied by a “notional principal amount,” in return for payments equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the same amount, for a specific period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as well. Swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment rates. Certain funds, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding swaps as of December 31, 2008.
 
  q)  Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates.
 
  r)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Effective January 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
 
  •     Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, ETF’s, repurchase agreements and rights and warrants.
  •     Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities, whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost.
  •     Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker-quoted securities, long dated OTC options and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price.
 
Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than that presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.
 
FAS 157 also requires that a roll forward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3. For purposes of this reconciliation, transfers in are shown at the end of period fair value and transfers out are shown at the beginning of period fair value.

  s)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires companies to disclose information detailing the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the level of derivative activity entered into by the company and any credit risk- related contingent features of the agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and has not yet implemented the new disclosure standard.
 
  t)  Indemnifications:  Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland Corporate Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Company, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
3.  Futures and Options Transactions:
 
Certain Funds may invest in futures and options contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date. When the Funds enter into such futures contracts, they are required to deposit with a futures commission merchant an amount of “initial margin” of cash, commercial paper or U.S. Treasury Bills. Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market), which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the Funds.
 
At any time prior to the expiration of the futures contract, a Fund may close the position by taking an opposite position, which would effectively terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund and the Fund realizes a gain or loss.
 
The use of futures contracts involves elements of market risk, which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of the futures contracts may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in loss. Certain Funds, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding futures contracts as of December 31, 2008.
 
The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options to reflect the current market value of the option as of the end of the reporting period.
 
The Funds may write covered options. “Covered” means that so long as the Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the underlying securities or currency or an option to purchase or sell the same underlying securities or currency having an expiration date of the covered option and an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the covered option, or will pledge cash or other liquid securities having a value equal to or greater than the fluctuating market value of the option securities or currencies. A Fund receives a premium for writing a call or put option, which is recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options. There is a risk of loss from a change in the value of such options, which may exceed the related premiums received. Transactions involving written options contracts for the Funds during the year ended December 31, 2008 are summarized below:

4.  Federal Income Taxes:
 
  a)  Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of their taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. The Funds have distributed substantially all of their income and capital gains in prior years and each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains prior to the next fiscal year end. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distribution for federal income tax purposes.
 
  b)  Net investment income (loss ) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of wash sale transactions, amortization adjustments, and differing tax treatment for investments in PFICs, derivatives, REITs, RICs, and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds.
 
  c)  The tax character of distributions paid for the periods indicated is as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable):

  (a)  The Funds designate these distributions as long-term gain capital dividends per IRC code Sec. 852(b)(3)(C).
 
As of December 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings (deficit) on tax basis were as follows:

   *  Certain Funds had capital loss carryforwards that are identified in Note 4 (d).
 
  The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of wash sales losses, the mark-to-market adjustment for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Sec. 1256, mark to market of Passive Foreign Investment Companies and basis differences in real estate investment trusts.
 
  d)  Reclassification of Capital Accounts:
 
In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, the Funds have recorded reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on the NAV of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting for such items as net operating losses that reduce distribution requirements. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of a Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital

  f)  Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 — On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The Funds adopted FIN 48 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005 — 2008) and has determined there is no impact to the Funds’ financial statements.
 
5.  Expenses:

  d)  Other Related Party Transactions — Certain officers of the Funds are directors and/or officers of HL Advisors, Hartford Investment Management and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2008, a portion of the Funds’ chief compliance officer’s salary was paid by the Funds in the amount of $86. Hartford Investment Services Company LLC (“HISC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to the Funds. HISC was compensated $23 for providing such services. The Funds accrue these fees daily and pay monthly.
 
  e)  Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated to each Fund and allocated to classes within a Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of each Fund and class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to the Fund or to specific classes within a Fund.
 
  f)  Fees Paid Indirectly — The Funds have entered into agreements with State Street Global Advisors, LLC and Frank Russell Securities, Inc. to partially recapture non-discounted trade commissions. Such rebates are used to pay a portion of the Funds’ expenses. In addition, the Funds’ custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the Funds maintain cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended December 31, 2008, these amounts are included in the Statements of Operations.

  g)  Distribution Plan for Class IB shares — All Funds with Class IB shares have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Class IB shares. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, each Fund is authorized to compensate the Distributor, Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. (a wholly owned, ultimate subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”)) from assets attributable to the Class IB shares for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Class IB shares, subject to the Fund Board’s review and approval.
 
The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund may pay annually up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to its Class IB shares for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class IB shares. The Board has the authority to suspend or reduce these payments at any point in time. Under the terms of the Distribution Plan and the principal underwriting agreement, each Fund is authorized to make payments monthly to the Distributor which may be used to pay or reimburse entities providing distribution and shareholder servicing with respect to the Class IB shares for such entities’ fees or expenses incurred or paid in that regard. The Funds’ distribution fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
  h)  Payment from Affiliate — The Funds are available for purchase by the separate accounts of different variable universal life policies, variable annuity products, and funding agreements and they are offered directly to certain qualified retirement plans (collectively “Products”). Although existing Products contain transfer restrictions, some Products, particularly older variable annuity products, do not contain restrictions on the frequency of transfers. In addition, as the result of the settlement of litigation against Hartford Life, Inc. (“Hartford Life”) (the issuer of such variable annuity products), the Funds’ ability to restrict transfers by certain owners of older variable annuity products was limited. During 2006, these annuity owners surrendered the older variable annuity contracts that were the subject of prior litigation. In February 2005, Hartford Life agreed with the Board of Directors of the Funds to indemnify the Funds for any material harm caused to the Funds from frequent trading by these contract owners.
 
On November 8, 2006, the SEC issued an order setting forth the terms of a settlement reached with three subsidiaries of The Hartford that resolves the SEC’s Division of Enforcement’s investigation of aspects of The Hartford’s variable annuity and mutual fund operations related to directed brokerage and revenue sharing. Under the terms of the settlement, The Hartford paid a total of $39.6 million to the Funds. These amounts were recorded on November 8, 2006 and paid on November 22, 2006. The Hartford settled this matter without admitting or denying the findings of the SEC.
 
On May 2, 2007, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund was reimbursed $2,514 in trading reimbursements relating to the change in portfolio managers of the Fund.
 
On June 8, 2007, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund was reimbursed $486 in regard to incorrect IPO allocations to the Fund.

7.  Line of Credit:
 
The Funds, except for Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, participate in a $1 billion committed revolving line of credit facility. The facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the arrangement, the Funds are required to own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also requires a fee to be paid based on the amount of the commitment. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any borrowings under this facility.
 
8.  Participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds:
 
The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. has approved the participation of Hartford Money Market HLS Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program (the “Program”) for money market funds.

­ ­  70  ­ ­


Table of Contents

 
 


 
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Program provides that investors in the Fund will receive $1.00 for each Fund share held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 in the event that the Fund closes at a NAV below $1.00 per share (a “guarantee event”). The Program only covers the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. Participation in the Program is expected to provide direct benefits to current shareholders that were shareholders as of September 19, 2008 and indirect benefits to all current shareholders by supporting the stability of the Fund’s asset level.
 
Accordingly, any purchase of shares of the Fund for a new account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 and any increase in the number of shares of the Fund held in an account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be covered by the Program. In the event that shares held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 are sold prior to the date of a guarantee event, the shares covered by the guarantee will be the lesser of (i) the amounts held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or (ii) the amounts held in the Fund on the date of a guarantee event.
 
The cost to participate in the Program will be borne by the Fund without regard to any fee waiver and/or any expense limitation or reimbursement currently in effect for the Fund and is, therefore, borne by all shareholders of the Fund whether or not their shares are covered by the Program. Currently, assets available to the Program to support all participating money market funds do not exceed $50 billion and the Secretary of the Treasury may extend the Program up through the close of business on September 18, 2009.
 
On November 24, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department extended the Program until April 30, 2009. The Program still continues to cover only the amount an investor held in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the amount an investor holds if and when a guarantee event occurs, whichever is less. The Board has approved the continued participation of the Fund in the Program. The cost to participate in the Program will continue to be borne by the Fund.
 
9.  Money Market HLS Fund Support Agreement:
 
The HLS Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) has entered into a Capital Support Agreement, dated September 26, 2008, and amended October 8, 2008 (the “CSA”) with HL Advisors and its affiliate Hartford Life, Inc. (“Hartford Life”). Under the terms of the CSA, Hartford Life has agreed to provide support of up to a maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million for the Fund’s holdings of certain securities specified in the CSA (the “Notes”). The Notes held in the Fund as of December 31, 2008 are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
 
The CSA provides that Hartford Life will pay a capital contribution to the Fund if a “Contribution Event” occurs prior to an event terminating the CSA. The contribution amount would be the lesser of: (1) the amount sufficient for the Fund to maintain its market-based calculation of NAV at $0.9950 (which rounds to an NAV of $1.00), after giving effect to the contribution and payments received by the Fund in respect of the Notes; (2) the amount of the loss on the Notes, which is the excess of the amortized cost of the Notes, less deduction of any commissions or similar transaction cost, and any amount received by the Fund in connection with the Contribution Event; and (3) the maximum contribution amount under the CSA, which is $33.6 million for any and all contributions under the CSA.
 
The CSA defines a “Contribution Event” as any of the following occurrences: (1) any sale of the Note for cash in an amount, after deduction of any commissions or similar transaction costs, less than the amortized cost value of the Note sold as of the date of the settlement; (2) the receipt of final payment on the Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; (3) the issuance of orders by a court having jurisdiction over the matter discharging the issuer from liability for the Note and providing for payments on that Note in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Note as of the date such payment is received; or (4) the receipt of any security or other instruments in exchange for, or as replacement of, the Note as a result of an exchange offer, debt restructuring, reorganization or similar transaction pursuant to which the Note is exchanged for, or replaced with, new securities of the issuer or third party and such new securities are or become “Eligible Securities,” as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and have a value that is less than the amortized cost of the Note on the date that the Fund receives such new securities.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2008, after the receipt of verbal “no-action” assurance provided by the staff of the SEC, the parties to the CSA have entered into an amendment that permits the CSA to continue despite the fact that Hartford Life’s obligations, effective February 9, 2009, no longer qualify as “First Tier” securities, as defined under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The amendment requires that Hartford Life establish an escrow account to support its potential future obligations under the CSA. The minimum balance of the escrow account is $725 (which was set equal to the aggregate unrealized loss on the Notes as of February 23, 2009), and the balance may periodically be adjusted based on the fair value of the Notes and the NAV of the Fund.
 
The CSA will terminate (unless the parties agree to an extension) on the earliest of the following dates: (1) September 26, 2009; (2) if and when all of the Notes are repaid in full; and (3) if and when Hartford Life has made capital contributions, in the aggregate, equal to the maximum aggregate amount of $33.6 million. Any extension would require approval of the SEC staff. In light of the terms of the CSA, the current and historical market value of the Notes and the net asset value of the Fund, it is possible that no capital contribution would be required even if the Fund were to realize a loss with respect to the Notes. The CSA applies only with respect to the Notes and does not guarantee that the Fund will maintain a stable NAV under all conditions. Apart from the CSA, Hartford Life has not undertaken nor is it obligated to provide support with respect to the Fund’s NAV.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not receive a capital contribution under the terms of the CSA.
 
The fair value of the CSA may increase or decrease as a result of changes in the fair value of the Notes and other factors. As of December 31, 2008, the fair value of the CSA was zero, as noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Hartford Series Fund, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Hartford Advisers HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, and Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund (eight of the thirty-four portfolios constituting the Hartford Series Fund, Inc.) (collectively, the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from agent banks or brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above constituting portfolios within Hartford Series Fund, Inc. at December 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
 
 
Your Fund’s Expenses
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period of June 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600) account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.
 
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
 
 
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements after an initial two year period.
 
At a meeting held on August 5-6, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Funds, including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the investment management agreement for each Fund with an agreement up for renewal with HL Investment Advisors, LLC (“HL Advisors”), and the investment sub-advisory agreements between HL Advisors and each Fund’s respective sub-adviser(s) (“Sub-advisers,” and together with HL Advisors, “Advisers”) — Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”) and Wellington Management Company, LLP (collectively, the “Agreements”). In the months preceding this meeting, the Board requested, received, and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to them on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about each Fund and the related Agreements by Fund officers and representatives of HL Advisors at the Board’s meetings on June 24-25, 2008 and August 5-6, 2008. In considering the approval of the Agreements, the Board also took into account information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, including reports on Fund performance, compliance, shareholder services, and the other services provided to the Funds by the Advisers, and their affiliates.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel. In addition, the Independent Directors engaged two service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund. Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how each Fund’s management fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios, and investment performance compared to those of mutual funds with similar investment objectives in various peer groups (“Peer Funds”). The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consulting firm (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating each Fund’s management fees, sub-advisory fees, administrative fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance.
 
The Board considered the Agreements for each Fund at the June and August meetings. In determining to continue the Agreements for each Fund, the Board determined that the proposed management fee structure for each Fund was fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In determining to renew the Agreements, the Board considered the following categories of material factors, among others, relating to the Agreements.
 
Nature, Extent And Quality Of Services
 
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements, the range of services provided, and the Advisers’ organizational structure, systems and personnel.1( The Board received information on the experience of senior management and relevant investment and other personnel of the Advisers, and the adequacy of the time and attention devoted by them to the Funds. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as its commitment to expand the resources devoted to supporting Fund operations and to continuously evaluate whether additional support is needed, particularly in light of increased regulatory requirements and other developments. In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board, and responsiveness to Board inquiries.
 
The Board also requested and reviewed information on each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures, compliance history, and a report from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer on each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators. In doing so, the Board noted the Advisers’ support of the Funds’ compliance control structure, particularly the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
With respect to HL Advisors, the Board noted that under the Agreements, HL Advisors is responsible for the management of each Fund, including overseeing fund operations and service providers, and Hartford Life provides administrative services to the Funds as well as the investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising sub-advisers. The Board considered its experiences with HL Advisors and Hartford Life, with respect to each of these services. The Board considered that HL Advisors or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Funds’ officers and paying their salaries and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the nature and quality of the services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by HL Advisors’ affiliates.
 
With respect to the Sub-advisers, who provide day-to-day portfolio management services, the Board considered the quality of each Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, their ability to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, their investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by HL Advisors and each of the Sub-advisers.
 
Performance of the Funds, HL Advisors, and the Sub-Advisers
 
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In this regard, the Board considered information and materials provided to the Board from HL Advisors and Lipper comparing each Fund’s short-term and long-term investment performance over various periods of time with appropriate benchmark indices, and with a performance universe of funds selected by Lipper. This information included performance reports (provided by Lipper and HL Advisors) and discussions with portfolio managers and other representatives of the Sub-advisers at Board meetings throughout the year, as well as the information provided especially for the annual contract review. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record. The Board considered HL Advisors’ cooperation with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of the Funds at periodic meetings throughout the year.
 
 
(1 The Funds have entered into investment management agreements with HL Advisors for investment advisory services, and a separate administrative agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company (“Hartford Life”), under which Hartford Life provides certain administrative services to those Funds. The Board considered the fees payable under both agreements in the aggregate.

­ ­  80  ­ ­


Table of Contents

 
 
 
The Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over the different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated each Adviser’s analysis of the Funds’ performance for these time periods, with specific attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Funds for specific time periods relative to a peer group or benchmark, and the causes for such underperformance. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Board also considered whether the Fund had been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful performance track record. The Board also noted HL Advisors’ initiatives over the course of the year to improve Fund performance, including management’s action to institute portfolio manager changes for certain Funds.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the Fund’s performance over time has been satisfactory, and that it had continued confidence in HL Advisors’ and the Sub-advisers’ overall capabilities to manage each Fund.
 
Costs of the Services and Profitability
 
The Board reviewed information regarding HL Advisors’ cost to provide investment management and related services to the Funds and HL Advisors’ profitability, both overall and for each Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HL Advisors and its affiliates from all services provided to the Funds and all aspects of their relationship with the Funds.
 
With respect to those Funds which are sub-advised by Hartford Investment Management, an affiliate of HL Advisors, the Board considered the costs and profitability information for HL Advisors and Hartford Investment Management in the aggregate. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the other Sub-advisers. In evaluating such Sub-advisers’ profitability with respect to the Funds, the Board considered primarily HL Advisors’ and the Sub-advisers’ representations that HL Advisors had negotiated the sub-advisory fees at arm’s-length, and the Sub-advisers’ representations that the fees charged to HL Advisors were comparable to fees charged by the Sub-advisers to similar clients.
 
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds would not be excessive.
 
Comparison of Fees and Expenses
 
The Board considered comparative information with respect to the investment management fees to be paid by each Fund to HL Advisors and the total expense ratios of each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HL Advisors and each Sub-adviser relating to the management fees and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed written materials from Lipper providing comparative information about each Fund’s management fees and total expense ratios relative to those of peer groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Funds and Peer Funds are imprecise, given the differing service levels and characteristics of mutual funds, and the different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Lipper assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s management fees and total operating expenses.
 
In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board noted in particular its agreement with HL Advisors with respect to the following matters: (i) the implementation of permanent breakpoints to reduce management fees with respect to certain Funds; (ii) the implementation of a permanent reduction in the contractual management fee for Money Market HLS Fund; and (iii) revision of the contractual fee waiver for Money Market HLS Fund. In its deliberations, the Board gave significant weight to each Fund’s overall expense ratio, net of these revisions. HL Advisors agreed to the following fee revisions, each effective January 1, 2009:
 
  •  Permanent breakpoint reductions:
 
HL Advisors agreed to implement permanent breakpoints to the following Funds’ fee schedules to reduce management fees by 0.0025% at $5 billion and an additional 0.0025% at $10 billion: Advisers HLS Fund, Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, International Opportunities HLS Fund, Stock HLS Fund.
 
HL Advisors agreed to implement permanent breakpoints to the following Fund’s fee schedule to reduce management fees by 0.02% at $5 billion and an additional 0.01% at $10 billion:
 
Small Company HLS Fund
 
  •  Money Market HLS Fund:  HL Advisors agreed to a permanent reduction in the fee rate on the first $2 billion of assets by 0.05%, which reduced the overall contractual management fees (on a weighted basis) by 0.028%. In addition, HL Advisors eliminated its 0.05% voluntary management fee waiver.
 
Based on these considerations, and the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses are reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale
 
The Board requested and considered information regarding the Advisers’ realization of economies of scale with respect to the Funds, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund’s investors. With respect to HL Advisors, the Board considered representations from HL Advisors that it is difficult to anticipate whether and the extent to which economies may be realized by HL Advisors as assets grow over time. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for each Fund, which reduces fees as Fund assets grow over time. The Board recognized that Funds with assets beyond the last breakpoint level continue to benefit from economies of scale, because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee, resulting in lower overall effective management fee rates. The Board considered that certain Funds may achieve some economies as certain fixed expenses are spread over a larger asset base, noting that there is no precise way to measure such economies, and that certain expenses do not necessarily decrease as assets increase. The Board also considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce Fund expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders, and that a schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale.

Hartford Series Fund, Inc.
 
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) — (continued)
 
 
The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Lipper showing how management fee schedules of Peer Funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of investors as a Peer Fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HL Advisors, Lipper, and the Consultant, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints, or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.
 
After considering all of the information available to it, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of each Fund’s investors, based on currently available information and the effective advisory fees and expense ratios for the Funds at their current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor future growth in Fund assets and the appropriateness of additional breakpoints.
 
Other Benefits
 
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the role of the Funds in supporting the variable life insurance and variable annuity products offered by The Hartford. The Board reviewed information noting that Hartford Life, an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives fees from certain Funds for providing certain administrative services for those Funds, and that Hartford Life also receives fees for fund accounting and related services from each of the Funds, and the Board considered information on expected profits to Hartford Life or its affiliates for such services.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Investor Services Company, LLC (“HISC”), the Funds’ transfer agent and an affiliate of HL Advisors, receives transfer agency compensation from the Funds, and the Board reviewed information on the expected profitability of the Funds’ transfer agency function to HISC. The Board considered information provided by HL Advisors indicating that the fees charged by HISC to the Funds are reasonable and in line with industry standards.
 
The Board also considered that Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc., as principal underwriter of the Funds, receives 12b-1 fees from the Funds. The Board also noted that certain affiliates of HL Advisors distribute shares of the Funds and receive compensation in that connection.
 
The Board considered benefits to the Sub-advisers from their proposed use of the Funds’ brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research, and representations from HL Advisors and the Sub-advisers that the Sub-advisers would not be making revenue-sharing or other payments to HL Advisors or its affiliates in connection with the distribution of the Funds.
 
The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the Hartford family of funds. The Board considered HL Advisors’ efforts to provide investors in the family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes, and its entrepreneurial risk in initiating new Funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.
 
* * * *
 
Based upon its review of these various factors, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders for the Board to approve the Agreements for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately in executive session on several occasions, with independent legal counsel, to review the relevant materials and consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.
