A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Thank you for investing in Hartford HLS Funds.

Market Review

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the period of this report, the stock market suffered its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since 2011.

 

Although volatility returned to the market, stocks recovered from their summer decline and the S&P 500 Index1 managed to climb back into positive territory, gaining 1.38% through the end of the year.

The correction in domestic markets came as a response to uncertainty abroad. Since China is the second-largest economy in the world, late-summer worries of a slowdown in its economy had far-reaching impacts. The full impact of that slowing growth remains to be seen. Markets stabilized within a few weeks and stocks continued their upward climb, continuing the six-year-old bull market that began in 2009.

From a broader perspective, a strong dollar, low oil prices, and central-bank policies influenced market movements throughout the period this report covers. Investors have been keeping a watchful eye on the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and international central banks, which continue to influence markets through quantitative-easing programs designed to support growth.

The Fed ended its own quantitative-easing program in late 2014, and its next influential move is to try to normalize interest rates, which have held near zero since 2008. The initial rate hike took place in mid-December, and continuing rate hikes generally are expected to continue at a gradual pace. Stocks took the initial rate hike in stride, however, rising rates are likely to be particularly impactful for fixed-income investors going forward, as bonds tend to be more sensitive to rate changes than equities.

As we begin 2016, we encourage you to maintain a strong relationship with a financial advisor who can help guide you through shifting markets with confidence. As the volatility during the summer of 2015 proved, markets are unpredictable and it’s important to proactively build a portfolio that takes into account your unique investment goals and risk tolerances. Your financial advisor can help you find a fit within our family of mutual funds as you work toward those goals.

Thank you again for investing with Hartford HLS Funds.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Balanced HLS Fund returned 0.18% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, underperforming the Fund’s custom benchmark, 60% S&P 500 Index, 35% Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index, and 5% Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 1.13% for the same period. The S&P 500, Barclays Government/Credit Bond, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Indices returned 1.38%, 0.15% and 0.05%, respectively. The Fund outperformed the -1.53% average return of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth 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?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose for the period, notwithstanding significant volatility. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015 – the market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The equity market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments. Within the S&P 500 Index, five of the ten sectors posted positive gains. Consumer Discretionary (+10%),

Healthcare (+7%), and Consumer Staples (+7%) posted the largest gains while Energy (-21%), Materials (-8%), and Utilities (-5%) lagged the broader index.

Fixed income markets were volatile over the twelve-month period as investors dealt with growing divergences in economic growth and central bank policy. With an improving economic outlook in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world, market participants agonized over the timing of the Fed’s first rate hike and its potential market implications during the year. Increased risk of a Greek exit from the Eurozone and a prolonged drop in commodity prices further muddied the picture. Oil prices were extremely volatile over the period, having rebounded from record lows at the start of the year but falling again in the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Meanwhile, an unexpected devaluation in China’s currency rattled global financial markets, deepening fears about the Chinese economic slowdown and potential spillover effects on the global economy.

Many major central banks eased monetary policy during the period with some resorting to aggressive measures to counter deflation and stimulate growth. The European Central Bank (ECB) launched an open-ended government bond-buying program and the Chinese central bank entered into an aggressive monetary easing cycle to counter deflationary risks and slowing growth. As expected, the Fed raised rates in December, which marked an end to a seven-year period of near-zero interest rates, although the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated that the pace of interest-rate hikes would be very gradual and dependent on the direction of economic data.

Globally, most credit risk sectors, with the exception of corporates, posted positive absolute returns as coupon income helped offset the impact of rising interest rates and widening bid-ask spreads. Most sectors underperformed duration-equivalent government bonds as spreads generally widened over the volatile period. High yield, in particular, experienced significant volatility on falling oil prices, China slowdown concerns, and a sharp increase in, high yield mutual fund outflows. The Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index returned 0.15% for the period.

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 of the Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index and the fixed income portion of the Fund outperformed the Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index. Asset allocation detracted from benchmark-relative performance during the period. The Fund was generally overweight equities and fixed income and underweight cash relative to the Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index.

Equity underperformance versus the S&P 500 Index was driven primarily by security selection. Security selection in Consumer Discretionary, Energy and Industrials sectors detracted the most from relative performance; this was partially offset by strong selection in Consumer Staples and Financials. Sector allocation, which is a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, contributed positively to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the period. An overweight to Healthcare and an underweight to Energy contributed positively to relative performance, while an underweight to Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples detracted during the period.

Stocks that detracted the most from relative returns in the equity portion of the Fund during the period were Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary), Southwestern Energy (Energy), and Marvell Technology (Information Technology). Shares of Amazon.com, a U.S.-based global ecommerce company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter results. Not owning benchmark constituent Amazon.com detracted from benchmark-relative results, as the stock rose during the period. Our position in Southwestern Energy, an oil and natural gas company based in Texas, was weighed down by weakness in the Energy market. Moody’s also put several exploration and production companies, including Southwestern Energy, under review, and the stock traded lower on the news. Shares of Marvell, a U.S.-based manufacturer of consumer semiconductor products, fell as earnings were weak in the third quarter due to poor end-market demand and lower revenue in their storage and networking businesses. Accounting concerns have also weighed on the stock as the company has delayed reporting earnings. Marathon Oil (Energy) also detracted from absolute results during the period.

Top contributors to relative performance in the equity portion of the Fund during the period were Maxim Integrated (Information Technology), Kraft Foods (Consumer Staples), and UCB SA (Healthcare). Maxim Integrated, a U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturer, saw its share price rise as the company reported earnings results that were modestly ahead of expectations and provided earnings guidance that implied better than expected sales trends in future quarters. Kraft Foods, a packaged food company, outperformed this year following the news that the company would merge with Heinz in a deal led by 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway. The stock price of UCB SA, a Belgium-based pharmaceutical company, rose this year in particular due to a strong

earnings announcement in October. The company posted strong sales of its core drugs, as revenues for the first nine months of the year jumped 19%, and it raised its full year outlook. The Fund’s holdings in Microsoft (Information Technology) and Alphabet (Information Technology) also contributed positively on an absolute basis.

Outperformance of the fixed income portion of the Fund relative to the Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index during the period was driven by security selection in investment grade corporate credit, particularly within Industrials, and non-corporate investment grade credit. Security selection in high yield credit also contributed positively to relative returns. An out-of-benchmark allocation to asset-backed securities (ABS) also modestly contributed to relative returns during the period. The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from results relative to the Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index as rates rose across the yield curve.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

Looking forward to 2016, we perceive increased geopolitical uncertainty globally, with increasing tensions in the Middle-East and Russia, as well as the slowdown in China being key recent examples. We expect to continue to seek what we consider to be balance in the portfolio to allow for upside potential while limiting downside risk. For example, in the equity portion of the Fund, while we believe some bank and insurance equities may benefit from prospective rate increases, we maintain exposure to other sectors of the market that are less interest rate sensitive. We are monitoring developments and focusing on company specific catalysts as a basis for each position.

Healthcare and Telecommunication Services represented our largest sector overweight and underweight, respectively, in the equity portion of the Fund at the end of the period. On the fixed income side we ended the period with a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture, continuing to favor financial issuers within investment grade credit. We continued to be underweight U.S. Treasuries and continued to hold out-of-benchmark allocations to agency mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS), and ABS.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s equity exposure was at 63% compared to 60% in its benchmark.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund returned 1.02% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, which returned 0.48% for the same period and underperformed the Fund’s other benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 1.38% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -2.42% average return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetite increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained

subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&A transactions involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Returns varied noticeably by market-cap during the period, as small cap (-4%) and mid cap (-2%) equities underperformed large cap (+1%) equities as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P 500 Indices, respectively. Within the Russell 3000 Index, Healthcare (+7%), Consumer Discretionary (+6%), and Consumer Staples (+6%) led the index higher while Energy (-23%), Materials (-10%), and Utilities (-5%) lagged on a relative basis during the period.

Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up security selection process, contributed positively to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index during the period. An underweight to the Energy sector and an overweight to the Healthcare, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed positively to returns relative to the Russell 3000 Index, which was partially offset by an underweight to Consumer Staples. Security selection detracted from performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index during the period. Selection was weakest within the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Materials sectors. This was partially offset by strong selection within the Healthcare and Consumer Staples sectors.

The top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index during the period included Activision Blizzard (Information Technology), Bristol-Myers (Healthcare), and Therapeutics MD (Healthcare). Shares of Activision Blizzard, U.S.-based electronic entertainment company, outperformed after it beat earnings forecasts. Shares of Bristol-Myers, a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, rose during the period after reporting promising clinical trial data for skin cancer drug Opdivo (nivolumab). In addition the company reported better than expected results. Shares of Therapeutics MD, a company that manufactures and distributes products primarily for treating symptoms of menopause related hormone deficiency, outperformed after reporting stronger than expected results from one of their key Phase III trials. Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary) was among the top absolute contributors during the period.

The largest absolute and relative detractors over the period were Micron Technology (Information Technology), Hertz Global Holding (Industrials), and Southwestern Energy (Energy). Shares of Micron Technology, a semiconductor manufacturer specializing in NAND Flash, Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), and NOR Flash memory devices, fell amid investor concerns about demand and pricing in the PC market. Hertz Global Holding, a U.S.-based global car and equipment rental company, fell after the current year earnings consensus moved lower over the period. Shares of Southwestern Energy, a U.S.-based energy company engaged in natural gas and oil exploration, development, and production, underperformed due to lower crude prices, compounded by the company’s announcement of disappointing second quarter earnings.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

Despite heightened volatility, we remain broadly positive about the outlook for global markets, driven by ongoing strength in developed economies where we believe buoyant consumption, recovering balance sheets, and accommodative policy should drive moderate growth. While the outlook for growth in China has become a lot more uncertain, we believe that China’s economy continues to grow, albeit at a lower rate of growth, with policy stimulus in areas like housing helping to offset weakness from commodities and exports. Given the increased level of uncertainty around this outcome, we will remain extremely vigilant about developments in this area. At the end of the period, our largest overweights were to the Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology sectors, while our largest underweights were to Consumer Staples and Energy, relative to the Russell 3000 Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund returned 6.83% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 1.38% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -0.57% average return of the Lipper Large Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&As involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first

rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Returns varied noticeably over the period by market-cap, as small cap (-4%) and mid cap (-2%) equities underperformed large cap (+1%) equities as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P 500 Indices, respectively. During the twelve-month period, five of the ten sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted positive returns, led by Consumer Discretionary (+10%), Healthcare (+7%), and Consumer Staples (+7%).

The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index, during the period primarily due to strong security selection. Strong selection within Information Technology, Consumer Staples, and Industrials more than offset weaker selection within the Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors. Sector allocation, which is a residual of our bottom-up security selection process, also contributed to relative returns during the period. An underweight allocation to the Energy sector and overweights to the Consumer Staples and Healthcare sectors more than offset the negative impact from an overweight to Utilities and not holding securities in Telecommunication Services.

The largest contributors to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the period were Activision Blizzard (Information Technology), Equifax (Industrials), and Omnicare (Healthcare). Shares of Activision Blizzard, a U.S.-based electronic entertainment company, rose during the period on strong earnings results from sales of video game titles. Shares of U.S.-based consumer credit rating agency Equifax rose sharply in February 2015 after management reported record fourth quarter and full year 2014 results. In addition, the board approved a 16% increase in the dividend, the fifth consecutive double-digit annual increase. Shares of Omnicare, a U.S.-based healthcare services company offering long term and specialty care services, rose during the period after it was announced the company was going to be acquired by CVS. The Fund sold out of its position in Omnicare over the period. Owning an overweight position in Alphabet (Information Technology), the U.S.-based holding company for Google, also contributed to absolute returns during the period.

The largest detractors from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the period were Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary), Ralph Lauren (Consumer Discretionary), and Biogen (Healthcare). Shares of Amazon.com, a U.S.-based global ecommerce company, rose during the period, due to record-breaking results for its Prime,

Original Series, and Devices businesses, and healthy growth in Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud computing service. Not owning this strong performing benchmark constituent detracted from relative returns during the period. Shares of Ralph Lauren, a U.S.-based producer of apparel, accessories, fragrances, and home furnishings, fell during the period after the company lowered its fiscal-year 2015 revenues guidance. Shares of U.S.-based global biotechnology company Biogen declined over the period due to health care industry-wide concerns about prescription drug prices, and disappointing revenue and earnings results driven by lower than expected sales of the company’s multiple sclerosis treatment. Shares of PVH Corp (Consumer Discretionary), a U.S.-based global apparel company, also detracted from performance on an absolute basis.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

We believe the U.S. economy remains in a period of moderate economic growth, led by a steady expansion of consumption, housing, and technology spending. However, we are starting to have some concerns about the health of the U.S. manufacturing sector. The ISM manufacturing index was below the 50 threshold that indicates expansion in November and December, as the stronger U.S. dollar and weak global demand continued to weigh on manufacturing activity. Ongoing weakness could have negative implications for sectors beyond Industrials. For instance, Financials could be adversely impacted if credit deteriorates in a long-term cycle of manufacturing weakness. Despite this risk, we believe there are plenty of reasons to remain optimistic about the U.S. economy. Employment trends remain very solid, cheap gasoline should support consumption, and housing is unlikely to be derailed by the Fed’s gradual pace of interest rate hikes, in our opinion.

Globally, we believe that China is still a risk and little has changed in that country, despite the recent headlines surrounding its volatile stock market. Chinese manufacturing contracted for the 10th straight month in December, but again, this is not a new development. China registered its slowest quarterly expansion since 2009 as GDP rose 6.9% year over year in the third quarter. The result was slightly higher than the 6.8% forecasted as strength in the services sector helped to offset weaker manufacturing. We may downgrade our view of this market if we begin to see a problem with China’s financial and banking system. To date, we do not see any evidence of this but we continue to monitor the situation closely.

Overall, we continue to find what we consider to be attractively valued stocks with the characteristics we seek. We believe the U.S. economy remains in a period of moderate economic growth, and we continue to monitor policy decisions and economic trends that may impact our holdings. We remain consistent in adhering to our disciplined portfolio construction process that allows us to assess

risk, weight individual positions accordingly, and in the process seek to build a portfolio that focuses largely on stock selection for generating benchmark outperformance relative to the S&P 500. We strongly believe that the portfolio is well-positioned to perform as we look forward to 2016. Based on individual stock decisions, the Fund ended the period most overweight the Consumer Staples and Utilities sectors, and most underweight Energy, Telecommunication Services, and Financials relative to the S&P 500 Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund returned -1.16% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 1.38% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned -3.83% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -3.53% average return of the Lipper Equity Income Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&As involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil

prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Returns varied noticeably over the period by market-cap, as small cap (-4%) and mid cap (-2%) equities underperformed large cap (+1%) equities as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P 500 Indices, respectively. During the twelve-month period, five of the ten sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted positive returns, led by Consumer Discretionary (+10%), Healthcare (+7%), and Consumer Staples (+7%).

Sector allocation, a result of our bottom up stock selection process, detracted from returns relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period. An underweight to the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors and an overweight to the Energy sector offset the positive impact of an underweight to Materials and an overweight to the Healthcare sector. Security selection also detracted from benchmark-relative returns during the period. Weak selection within Consumer Discretionary, Utilities, and Consumer Staples was only partially offset by strong selection within Information Technology and Financials.

The Fund’s top detractors from returns relative to the S&P 500 Index were Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary), Marathon Oil (Energy), and Anadarko Pete (Energy). Shares of Amazon.com, a U.S.-based global ecommerce company, rose during the period, due

largely to better-than-expected first-quarter results, particularly in Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud computing service. Not owning the strong performing benchmark constituent detracted from relative returns during the period. Shares of Marathon Oil, a U.S.-based oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) company with a major leasehold position in the Eagle Ford Shale formation in South Texas, fell due to a further decline in oil prices. Shares of Anadarko, an independent E&P company, fell during the period due to low commodity prices and the withdrawal of a takeover offer for competitor Apache, which weighed on the stock. Chevron (Energy) also detracted from absolute returns.

The Fund’s top contributors to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period were Eli Lilly (Healthcare), Microsoft (Information Technology), and Kinder Morgan (Energy). Shares of Eli Lilly, a U.S.-based company engaged in the drug manufacturing business, rose during the period as investors anticipated the company would announce positive long-term data on its Alzheimer’s drug. Shares of Microsoft, a U.S.-based developer of software products and services, rose during the period due to increasing optimism that the company’s cloud-based services and Windows 10 operating program could support stronger growth. Kinder Morgan, a pipeline transportation and storage company, underperformed during the period due to weakness in commodity prices. The company’s earnings outlook deteriorated, and management cut the dividend. Not owning the weak-performing benchmark constituent contributed to relative returns during the period. Alphabet (Information Technology) was among the top contributors to absolute performance.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in this Fund during this period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

We believe a sharp decline in oil prices has created a buying opportunity in the very depressed Energy sector. However, timing the bottom in this industry is very difficult, and we feel that it was important to shift to a modest overweight knowing we could be early. Weak global consumption did not slow overall production as quickly as anticipated, which led to heightened uncertainty about oil. During the period, we added to positions in companies we believe will benefit most from what we believe will be an eventual rebound in oil prices. We expect bankruptcies in smaller players to create opportunities for the stronger companies. We believe the price of oil may bottom in the next six to twelve months as oil companies reduce production, and expect the portfolio will be well positioned to advance with the recovery.

Looking ahead to 2016, we continue to seek what we consider to be investment ideas that fit with our process and philosophy. We remain focused on the significance of dividends, positive capital stewardship, and franchise value. We believe we have a solid portfolio of undervalued market leaders, stocks in industries with improving

supply/demand trends, and solid companies that are temporarily out of favor. At the end of the period, our largest overweights were to the Financials and Energy sectors, while we remained underweight the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors, relative to the S&P 500 Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund returned 8.04% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Growth Index, which returned 3.50% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 2.59% average return of the Lipper Global Large-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Global equities, as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index, fell over the twelve-month period. The rally in stocks that took place toward the beginning of the period came to a halt in the third quarter of 2015 as global equities tumbled. Equities surged in October, but stumbled in November and December and ended the period on a weak note. During the period, U.S. equities outperformed non-U.S. equities and emerging market equities underperformed their developed market counterparts.

Early in the period, there were many negative headlines causing investors to be uneasy. Europe’s economy remained near stall speed, oil prices plunged, Chinese manufacturing data disappointed, and questions again rose around Greece’s future in the European Union. Despite the negative headlines, Europe was a bright spot during the beginning of the period due to further accommodative monetary policy and encouraging economic data, including positive trends in manufacturing, exports, and economic sentiment. During the first half of the fiscal year, the Bank of Japan expanded its quantitative easing policy, the People’s Bank of China surprised markets with further rate cuts, and the European Central Bank (ECB) announced a 1.14 trillion open-ended sovereign debt quantitative easing program to combat record-low inflation and stimulate growth in Europe. In late June, the Greek debt crisis took center stage. Negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down and Greece missed its scheduled loan payment due to the International Monetary Fund on June 30.

In the second half of the fiscal year, worries about an economic growth slowdown in China dominated the market narrative. Fears were amplified near the middle of August when China unexpectedly devalued its currency, triggering concerns about global disinflationary trends and a weaker-than-anticipated global growth backdrop. During

September, Chinese manufacturing activity fell to its lowest level since 2009. Risk appetites were also dampened by the ECB’s cut in its Eurozone growth and inflation outlook and the downgrade of Brazil’s debt to below investment-grade. Global equities rallied in October amid increasing signs of extended monetary policy accommodation by major central banks. After much anticipation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic development.

For the twelve-month period, growth stocks (+3.5%) outperformed value stocks (-4.11%) as measured by the MSCI World Growth Index and the MSCI World Value Index, respectively. Within the MSCI World Growth Index, six of ten sectors posted positive returns for the year. Consumer staples (+10%), Consumer Discretionary (+8%), and Healthcare (+8%) gained the most, while the Energy (-23%), Materials (-7%), and Industrials (-2%) sectors lagged the most on a relative basis.

The Fund’s outperformance relative to the MSCI World Growth Index was driven primarily by security selection, which contributed positively to relative results within all but two sectors. Selection within Consumer Discretionary and Healthcare was especially strong, more than offsetting weak selection within Industrials and Utilities. Sector allocation, a result of bottom-up security selection, also contributed to relative results over the period. Underweights to Energy, Industrials, and Materials contributed to relative performance, which was partially offset by an overweight to Financials and an underweight to Consumer Discretionary, which detracted from performance.

Top contributors to relative performance included Amazon (Consumer Discretionary), Activision Blizzard (Information Technology), and Pandora (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Amazon, a U.S.-based online e-commerce company, rose on healthy results from the U.S. retail side of the business. In addition, results have been driven by stronger than expected growth in Amazon Web Service (“AWS”). AWS is an early leader in the relatively small but fast growing segment of the cloud-computing services sector. The share price of Activision Blizzard, a U.S.-based video gaming company, increased after successive quarterly earnings releases that

beat market expectations. The company also announced plans to acquire King Digital Entertainment as it seeks to increase its mobile gaming offerings. Shares of Denmark-based jewelry maker Pandora rose over the period. Pandora’s products, particularly bracelets and charms, benefited from repeat customer purchases. The company also experienced high organic revenue growth, which was driven by product expansion and store growth, particularly in underpenetrated regions. Alphabet (Information Technology), formerly known as Google, was a top absolute contributor during the period.

The top detractors from the Fund’s relative performance were Baidu (Information Technology), Alibaba (Information Technology), and ICICI Bank (Financials). Baidu, a leading Chinese-language Internet search provider, underperformed due to lower than expected earnings and continued concern around ability to crystalize margin expansion. Shares of Alibaba, a leading Chinese e-commerce company, declined due to more stock becoming ‘unlocked’ after the company’s initial public offering. We eliminated our positions in both Baidu and Alibaba during the period. The stock price of ICICI Bank, an Indian-based banking and financial services company, fell over the year as revenues fell short of expectations amid a strengthening U.S. Dollar and overall weakness within Indian equities. Top absolute detractors also included F5 Networks (Information Technology).

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

The global macroeconomic indicators that we track continue to point to slower growth, particularly in the large emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, and China where economic weakness has led to lower commodity pricing. We see relatively better growth in the U.S., where growth in U.S. gross domestic product is accelerating due to increased technology spending. Low inflation and energy prices plus an improving labor market and real wage growth support consumer confidence in the U.S. We remain sanguine about the impact from the Fed’s well-telegraphed and slow increase in interest rates which remain at the very low end of the historical range.

We believe the European economy continues to improve slowly, benefiting from lower energy and import prices and loose monetary policies which support stronger retail sales and housing activity. Bigger picture, however, we continue to be skeptical of Europe’s monetary union without a fiscal union or a unified decision-making authority to collect and spend taxes as well as unfavorable business regulations that weigh on economic growth.

Around the world, the risks that we are monitoring show higher stress in the credit system. Despite positive U.S. economic indicators, we have observed rising junk bond yields. In emerging markets, credit default swap spreads also have increased. We are increasingly concerned about the expanding credit bubble in China. Excess

investment, high inventory, and tightening financial conditions with capital outflows and currency weakness all contribute to potential economic instability. We believe the Chinese government must resolve bad debts in the banking system soon to heal the credit cycle. Declining industry beer volumes, lower electricity consumption, weaker employment, and lower industrial production, in our opinion point to a slowing economy while it transitions from capital-intensive heavy industry to being more services-oriented. Financial risks in China weigh on the entire Asian region. Japan is in a technical recession following two quarters of negative growth in gross domestic product. Japan exports heavily to China and the Pacific Rim and thus is heavily exposed to China’s slowdown.

Our focus remains on stock selection that is driven by bottom-up, fundamental research, diligent meetings with the management of what we believe to be high quality, leading companies globally, and leveraging the deep research capabilities of our firm. Amidst the macro debates around the world (oil, currencies, China, monetary policy) and the volatility, we believe there should also be good opportunities. At the end of the period, our largest sector overweights continued to be to the Information Technology, Financials and Healthcare while we were most underweight Industrials, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary, relative to the MSCI World Growth Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund returned 11.74% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which returned 5.09% for the same period, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 5.67% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 2.17% average return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&As involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil

prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Returns varied noticeably by market-cap during the period, as large cap (+1%) equities outperformed small cap (-4%) and mid cap (-2%) equities as measured by the S&P 500, Russell 2000, and S&P MidCap 400 Indices, respectively. Six out of ten sectors in the Russell 3000 Growth Index rose during the period. The Consumer Staples (+11%), Consumer Discretionary (+10%), and Information Technology (+9%) sectors gained the most while Energy (-38%) and Materials (-8%) were the weakest.

Security selection was the main driver of outperformance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period. Security selection was strongest in the Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, and Healthcare sectors and offset slightly by weaker stock selection in Consumer Staples and Materials. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, also contributed to benchmark-relative performance over the period, largely due to an underweight in Materials and overweight in Information Technology, which was only partially offset by the negative impact of an underweight to Consumer Staples.

The top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period were Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary), Netflix (Consumer Discretionary), and Uber (Information Technology). Shares of Amazon.com, a U.S.-based

global ecommerce company, outperformed as investors reacted favorably to strong profitability and improved gross margins, sending the shares higher over the period. Shares of Netflix, a subscription internet streaming company, more than doubled during the year as growth in international markets was stronger than expected. Shares of Uber Technologies, a private technology company that provides an innovative and disruptive ridesharing service, rose due to its continued growth trajectory. Facebook (Information Technology) was among other top absolute contributors. In aggregate, the Fund’s investments in private companies were a positive contributor to relative performance.

The top absolute and relative detractors from performance during the period included GoPro (Consumer Discretionary), Platform Specialty (Materials), and Baidu (Information Technology). Shares of GoPro, a U.S.-based company that produces mountable and wearable cameras and accessories, declined due a significant slowdown in sales and a delay in the release of its new product line. Shares of Platform Specialty, a U.S.-based chemical company, fell due to earnings weakness attributable the slowdown in global growth and the rising cost of capital which has an outsized impact on this acquisition driven growth company. Shares of Baidu, a leading Chinese-language Internet search provider, fell due to lack of margin expansion during the period and increasing competition.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

Despite market concerns regarding the outlook for global growth at the end of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing with healthy consumer confidence, robust employment and a strong housing market. We remain constructive on the U.S. economy for 2016. The long awaited liftoff in rates in the U.S. began in December. We expect any further increases in interest rates to be a gradual process and while something to watch, it hasn’t triggered a material change to portfolio holdings at this point.

At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight the Healthcare and Financials sectors and most underweight the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Healthcare HLS Fund returned 13.21%, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P North American Healthcare Sector Index, which returned 6.72% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the S&P 500 Index, which returned 1.38% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 9.07% average return of the Lipper Global Health and Biotechnology peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Health care stocks (+7%) outperformed both the broader U.S. market (+1%) and the global equity market (0%) during the period, as measured by the S&P North American Healthcare Sector Index, S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index, respectively. Within the S&P North American Health Care Sector Index, small cap biopharma returned (-29%), mid cap biopharma returned (+8%), and large cap biopharma returned (+5%), while medical technology returned (+8%) and health services returned (+8%) as well during the period.

The Fund outperformed the S&P North American Health Care Sector Index over the period due primarily to positive security selection. Security selection was especially strong within biopharma across all three capitalization subcategories. Security selection was also positive in health care services over the period. Security selection within medical technology had a negative impact on benchmark-relative performance as did overall sector allocation. Overweights to small cap biopharma and a modest cash position in an upward trending market environment detracted from relative results during the period, more than offsetting an underweight to large cap biopharma and an overweight to medical technology which contributed positively to performance relative to the S&P North American Health Care Sector Index.

Anacor Pharmaceuticals (mid cap biopharma), Galapagos (mid cap biopharma), and Shionogi (large cap biopharma) contributed most to results relative to the S&P North American Health Care Sector Index over the period. Shares of Anacor Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule therapeutics, rose in response to news that its topical treatment for nail fungus was approved. Shares of Galapagos, a Belgium-based biotechnology company, rose as excitement builds for several candidates in their drug pipeline, which include treatments for rheumatoid arthritis and cystic fibrosis. Shares of Shionogi, a Japan-based pharmaceutical firm, rose as the company benefited from continued strength in their HIV franchise. Bristol-Myers Squibb (large cap biopharma) was also a top contributor to absolute performance during the period, driven by strong momentum in their immuno-oncology franchise.

Tetraphase (small cap biopharma), Everyday Health (small cap biopharma), and Arena (small cap biopharma) were the top detractors from performance relative to the S&P North American Health Care Sector Index. Shares of Tetraphase, a U.S.-based clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of antibiotics, fell after a Phase 3 study for a drug in their development pipeline missed a primary endpoint. Everyday Health, a U.S.-based owner of a collection of consumer health information websites, saw its share price decline over the period as a result of execution challenges that impacted recent earnings results. Shares of Arena, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in the U.S., also fell on concerns for the outlook of their weight loss and smoking cessation drug. Cepheid (mid cap biopharma) was a top detractor from absolute performance during the period.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

Looking forward, we expect more choppiness for the Healthcare sector in 2016. A number of issues may weigh on performance, including global macro factors as well as domestic political considerations, in particular related to pharmaceutical pricing.

For this period of potential market turmoil, our strategy is unchanged: namely, to seek to identify what we consider to be innovative companies that offer meaningful value to the healthcare system. In the biopharma space, our current preference, on the margin, is for mature companies with strong revenue growth, ample cash, and innovative and exciting pipelines. In healthcare products and services, we seek companies that will benefit from and/or facilitate the transition from a fee-for-service-based to a fee-for-value-based health care system.

We remain optimistic about the Healthcare sector overall. We believe that biomedical innovation is as robust as it has ever been. Evolving structures of healthcare markets globally may create clear performance separation between the best and the worst health care services companies. We believe that our approach of evaluating secular themes across a long time horizon will enable us to capitalize on these trends. As is our practice, we will aim to trim stocks on strength and to add on weakness in order to seek to generate favorable returns while minimizing risk.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford High Yield HLS Fund returned -4.30% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, which returned -4.47% for the same period. The Fund underperformed the -4.01% average return of the Lipper High Yield Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Fixed income markets were volatile over the twelve-month period as investors dealt with growing divergences in economic growth and central bank policy. With an improving economic outlook in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world, market participants agonized over the timing of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s (Fed) first rate hike and its potential market implications. Increased risk of a Greek exit from the Eurozone and a prolonged drop in commodity prices further muddied the picture. Oil prices were extremely volatile over the period, having rebounded from record lows at the start of the year but falling again in the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Meanwhile, an unexpected devaluation in China’s currency rattled global financial markets, deepening fears about the Chinese economic slowdown and potential spillover effects on the global economy.

Many major central banks eased monetary policy during the period with some resorting to aggressive measures to counter deflation and stimulate growth. In the first half of the period, the European Central Bank (ECB) launched an open-ended government bond-buying program, which prompted other central banks to act to stop their currencies from appreciating. In China, the central bank entered into an aggressive monetary easing cycle to counter deflationary risks and slowing growth. Sub-trend growth and low inflation kept the Bank of England from enacting policy changes while the Fed charted a course for the end of quantitative easing.

Growth in the major developed markets stabilized in 2015 while emerging market growth languished, held back by a slowdown in Asia. Economic data in the Eurozone both improved and broadened out across countries; however, inflationary pressures were non-existent. The U.K. and Japan showed little sign of increased inflation despite the continued strength in their respective labor markets. In the U.S., data released during the period highlighted some conflicting themes affecting the economy. The fragile global economy, a

stronger dollar, and falling oil prices created difficult conditions for the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, domestically centered industries such as housing, retail, and service-based sectors posted solid results. While low commodity prices suppressed headline inflation, core consumer prices started to gradually move higher, giving the Fed confidence to raise rates in December. This widely anticipated rate hike marked an end to a seven-year period of near-zero interest rates, although the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated that the pace of interest-rate hikes would be very gradual and dependent on the direction of economic data. The FOMC seemingly achieved a smooth liftoff judging by the market’s relatively muted reaction following the announcement.

Globally, most credit risk sectors, with the exception of corporates, posted positive absolute returns as coupon income helped offset the impact of rising interest rates and widening bid-ask spreads. Most sectors underperformed duration-equivalent government bonds as spreads generally widened over the volatile period. High yield, in particular, experienced significant volatility on falling oil prices, China slowdown concerns, and a sharp increase in, high yield mutual fund outflows.

The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index returned -4.47% for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2015 and underperformed duration equivalent treasuries by 5.77%. The Option-Adjusted Spread of the High Yield index was 6.60% on December 31, 2015, an increase of 1.77% from December 31, 2014.

The Fund outperformed the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, primarily as a result of sector allocation, due largely to underweight allocations to Metals and Mining and Energy as commodity prices remained volatile and fell sharply during the second half of the period. Our underweight to energy companies was a result of our view that many issuers had been voracious users of capital and we were concerned that many issuers were financing uncertain oil exploration projects with debt. Additionally, being overweight the Healthcare and Technology sectors contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns. On the other hand, having no exposure to the gaming sector detracted from relative returns over the period, because the sector posted strong returns. We maintained a cautious view on the sector due to recent increases in gaming capacity at a time when gaming revenues have been declining.

In aggregate, security selection detracted modestly from benchmark-relative results during the period. Security selection was positive in the Energy and Financials sectors. Within Energy, we focused on issuers that we believed had attractive assets and the ability to withstand an extended low oil price environment. Within Financials, our holdings of the subordinated debt of European banks that we consider to have strong credit profiles generated positive returns during a volatile period. However, this selection was partially offset by our negative credit selection within the Metals and Mining sector, where the decline in commodity prices negatively impacted most holdings, including our holdings in U.S. steel manufacturers. Additionally, selection within Utilities and retail stores detracted from relative results over the period.

Our underweight to BB-rated bonds, which outperformed their lower-rated counterparts, detracted from relative performance during the period.

A modest cash position contributed positively to returns relative to the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index during the period. Our credit default swap positions on the CDX index, which are used to tactically adjust our exposure to the market, had a modestly positive impact on relative performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

We remain generally constructive on high yield, but recognize that credible threats to global growth have increased. In many sectors, particularly those leveraged to U.S. consumer demand, we have a positive view based on what we consider to be attractive valuations and favorable company fundamentals. However, we remain cautious on many issuers in the Energy and Metals and Mining sectors. We believe the economic backdrop for the high-yield market is generally supportive, but continue to closely monitor factors that could cause the commodity-related stress to spread to the broader market, including the potential impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar on the industrial economy, and trends in bank lending standards across sectors. While we expect default rates to increase through 2016, we believe defaults are likely to stay contained to commodity-related sectors.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund returned 1.88% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (“MSCI AC World ex USA Index”), which returned -5.25% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 0.24% average return of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Growth Fund peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

International equities rebounded in the fourth quarter (+3.3%), but finished the year in the red (-5.3%), as measured by the MSCI AC World ex USA Index. Early in the period, there were many negative headlines causing investors to be uneasy. Europe’s economy remained near stall speed, oil prices plunged, Chinese manufacturing data disappointed, and questions again rose around Greece’s future in the European Union. Despite the negative headlines, Europe was a bright spot during the beginning of the period due to further accommodative monetary policy and encouraging economic data, including positive trends in manufacturing, exports, and economic sentiment. During the first half of the fiscal year, the Bank of Japan expanded its quantitative easing policy, the People’s Bank of China surprised markets with further rate cuts, and the European Central Bank (ECB) announced a 1.14 trillion open-ended sovereign debt quantitative easing program to combat record-low inflation and stimulate growth in Europe. In late June, the Greek debt crisis took center stage. Negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down and Greece missed its scheduled loan payment due to the International Monetary Fund on June 30.

In the second half of the fiscal year, worries about an economic growth slowdown in China dominated the market narrative. Fears were amplified near the middle of August when China unexpectedly devalued its currency, triggering concerns about global disinflationary trends and a weaker-than-anticipated global growth backdrop. During September, Chinese manufacturing activity fell to its lowest level since 2009. Risk appetites were also dampened by the ECB’s cut in its Eurozone growth and inflation outlook and the downgrade of Brazil’s debt to below investment-grade. Global equities rallied in October amid increasing signs of extended monetary policy

accommodation by major central banks. Geopolitical tensions flared up during November, including the terrorist attacks in Paris and the downing of a Russian warplane by the Turkish Air Force near the Syrian border. In December, the much anticipated monetary policy divergence came to fruition with the ECB and Bank of Japan (BoJ) announcing additional policy easing, while the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) initiated its well-telegraphed interest rates liftoff. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic development. Robust global merger and acquisition (M&A) activity continued to fuel bullish sentiment. 2015 global M&A volume surpassed the $5 trillion mark for the first time ever, eclipsing the previous annual record set in 2007 ($4.61 trillion).

Non-U.S. stocks, as measured by the MSCI AC World ex USA Index, fell during the period (-5.25%). Eight of ten sectors in the index posted negative returns during the period; Energy (-21%), Materials (-19%), and Utilities (-9%) fell the most, while Healthcare (+6%) and Consumer Staples (+5%) rose.

The Fund outperformed the MSCI AC World ex USA Index, due predominantly to security selection, while sector allocations also contributed. Security selection was strongest within the Financials, Healthcare, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. This was partially offset by weaker selection within the Information Technology and Energy sectors. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up security selection process, also contributed to performance relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index during the period. An overweight to the Healthcare sector and an underweight to the Materials and Energy sectors contributed to benchmark relative returns, which was partially offset by an underweight to Consumer Staples.

Top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index during the period included Ono Pharmaceutical (Healthcare), Hong Kong Exchanges (Financials), and Nippon (Telecommunication Services). Ono Pharmaceutical, a Japan-based pharmaceutical company, is a developer of immuno-oncology treatments, and shares the rights and economics with Bristol-Myers Squibb on key immuno-oncology assets. The company’s shares performed well as the prospects for their immuno-oncology drug, Opdivo, remain positive as it expanded into multiple cancer indications. Shares of Hong Kong

Exchanges, an operator of the only stock and futures exchange in Hong Kong and their related clearing houses, outperformed as further liberalization of the Chinese financial system drove a large increase in equity market trading volumes, which benefited the exchange’s profitability. The company has also benefited from increased trading volume generated by the new Hong Kong-Shanghai Connect program which facilitates trading between the Hong Kong Exchange and the Shanghai Exchange. The stock price of Nippon, a Japan-based company operating in wired and wireless telecommunications services, rose in the fourth quarter as the company lifted profit guidance for 2016 after their most recent quarterly results were better than anticipated.

The largest relative detractors from returns relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index included ICICI Bank (Financials), SK Hynix (Information Technology), and Cemex AB (Materials). Shares of ICICI Bank, an India-based bank and financial services company, underperformed as non-performing loans have been higher than market expectations. Shares of SK Hynix, a Korean semiconductor company, underperformed on concerns of a continued slowdown in PC sales and weak memory pricing. Cemex AB, a global cement company based in Mexico, saw its share price decline as the company continues to face difficult conditions for foreign exchange as well as weaker volumes in Mexico. China Life (Financials) was also an absolute detractor from performance during the period.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

Our outlook for international equities moving forward has deviated little from three months ago. We believe growth will continue to be modest, but choppy, with more focus around the slowdown in China and the broader implications on the world economy. In Europe, the stance of the portfolio remains mostly unchanged from last quarter. We think Europe remains stable as the ECB continues its monetary expansion which has provided support for riskier assets. Domestic demand indicators remain fairly strong and we believe credit conditions should continue to support reasonable growth. We do think volatility will remain elevated overall as the global equity market continues adjusting to the current environment.

At the end of the period, relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index, we were most overweight Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology, and most underweight Materials, Telecommunication Services, and Consumer Staples. On a regional basis, we ended the period with an overweight to Europe ex-UK and Japan. We ended the period underweight Asia Pacific ex Japan and the UK.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford MidCap HLS Fund returned 1.60% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, which returned -2.18% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -4.13% average return of the Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&As involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global

economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Returns varied noticeably by market-cap during the period, as small cap equities (-4%) and mid cap equities (-2%) underperformed large cap equities (+1%), as represented by the Russell 2000, the S&P MidCap 400, and the S&P 500, Indices, respectively. Within the S&P MidCap 400 Index, only three out of ten sectors posted positive returns during the twelve-month period. The Healthcare (+10%), Financials (+5%), and Information Technology (+1%) sectors posted positive returns while the Energy (-33%), Materials (-13%), and Telecommunication Services (-13%) sectors lagged the most on a relative and absolute basis.

The Fund’s outperformance relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index during the period was driven primarily by strong security selection. Strong security selection in the Information Technology, Financials, and Industrials sectors offset weaker selection in Consumer Discretionary. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up security selection process, also contributed to relative returns over the period. An overweight to Healthcare and an underweight to Materials contributed to relative returns, while an overweight to Energy and an underweight to Financials detracted from relative performance over the period.

Top contributors to relative and absolute performance during the period were Equifax (Industrials), Vantiv (Information Technology), and Genpact (Information Technology). Shares of Equifax, a U.S.-based provider of information solutions and human resources business process outsourcing services, rose on strong revenues and earnings over the period. Shares of Vantiv, a U.S.-based merchant acquirer that connects businesses to credit card companies, rose over the period as they continued to benefit from the secular trend of moving away from payment by cash and check to electronic transactions. Genpact, an Indian company engaged in business process management, outsourcing, shared services and information outsourcing, outperformed over the period as they have seen solid

client growth and signed two large transformational deals. Alkermes (Healthcare) was also a top absolute contributor over the period.

Top detractors from performance relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index during the period were Nimble Storage (Information Technology), Genesee & Wyoming (Industrials), and Harley-Davidson (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Nimble Storage, a U.S.-based firm that engineers and delivers data storage platforms, fell during the period. The company is facing margin pressures as it seeks to grow rapidly amidst intense competition. Genesee & Wyoming, a U.S.-based short line railroad operator, also underperformed over the period. The stock has been pressured by weak customer demand, particularly in commodities and Industrials, but we believe these pressures are temporary and we remain confident in the value of its assets and management’s capital allocation skill. Shares of Harley-Davidson, a U.S.-based motorcycle manufacturer, fell as the motorcycle retailer’s results fell far short of consensus estimates, sending the company’s shares to a two-year low. Apollo Education (Consumer Discretionary) was also a top absolute detractor over the period.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

While we believe the United States will remain the preferred market for investment on a global basis, emerging market fundamentals remain weak and China’s economic growth rate is adjusting to a new, long term rate. It is unclear whether recent industrial weakness in the U.S. will affect domestic consumer demand.

As a result of our bottom-up, company specific process based on FVE (fundamentals, valuation, and expectations), we ended the period overweight the Industrials, Healthcare, and Information Technology sectors. Our Industrial holdings include market leaders across transportation, waste disposal, temporary staffing, credit reporting agencies, and leading niche manufacturers. In the Healthcare sector, our past emphasis on biotech has shifted to devices and services with strong fundamentals driven by demographics and health care reforms. Within Information Technology, we have strong exposure to the cloud, the internet, merchant acquirers, and solar power. Our largest underweight at year-end was in the Financial sector, where we continue to find what we consider to be unattractive investments in real estate investment trusts.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford MidCap Value HLS Fund returned -1.21% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned -5.49% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the Russell MidCap Value Index, which returned -4.78% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -4.13% average return of the Lipper Mid-Cap Core Fund peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&As involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in gross domestic product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation

in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Returns varied noticeably by market-cap during the period, as small cap equities (-4%) and mid cap equities (-2%) underperformed large cap equities (+1%), as represented by the Russell 2000, the S&P MidCap 400, and the S&P 500, Indices, respectively. Within the Russell 2500 Value Index, only three out of ten sectors posted positive returns during the twelve-month period. The Energy (-41%), Materials (-21%), and Telecommunication Services (-11%) sectors performed the worst while the Healthcare (+7%), Financials (+2%), and Information Technology (-2%) sectors performed the best over the period.

The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index was driven by strong security selection. Positive stock selection within the Energy, Financials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors more than offset weaker stock selection within the Industrials and Utilities sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up security selection process, detracted from relative results over the period, primarily due to an underweight to Financials and overweight allocations to Materials and Consumer Discretionary. An overweight to Healthcare and to Information Technology contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance over the period.

The largest contributors to absolute performance and performance relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index included Ono Pharmaceutical (Healthcare), Extra Space Storage (Financials), and Equity Lifestyle (Financials). Shares of Ono Pharmaceutical, a Japan-based biopharmaceutical company, rose over the period as the U.S. FDA approved their Opdivo drug for multiple cancer treatments during the year, including kidney and lung cancer indications. Shares of Extra Space Storage, a U.S.-based owner and operator of storage facilities, rose after the company reported second quarter 2015 results that beat consensus estimates and raised guidance for fiscal year 2015. Equity Lifestyle, a U.S.-based real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on owning and operating manufactured home communities and recreational vehicle (RV) resorts throughout North America, outperformed over the period due to strong earnings and steady growth in the RV market.

The largest detractors from absolute performance and performance relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index included Performance Sports

(Consumer Discretionary), Brookdale Senior Living (Healthcare), and Verint Systems (Information Technology). Shares of Performance Sports, a U.S.-based firm engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of performance sports equipment, declined over the period due to the weakening Canadian dollar. Brookdale Senior Living, an operator of high quality senior living facilities in the U.S., underperformed due to possible regulation preventing companies from spinning off real estate assets into tax-advantaged REITs. The market had anticipated the company would unlock value through a spin-off, and the stock price declined on the news. Shares of Verint Systems, a U.S. provider of analytical software for the security and business intelligence markets, fell over the period due to weak earnings caused by elongated sales and approval cycles.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

Following the initial Fed interest rate hike in late 2015, we believe that global equity markets will have a rocky start heading into 2016. The U.S. manufacturing economy finished 2015 in recessionary-like fashion with a December Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of 48.2%, a steep decline from where we were a year ago. Fortunately, the service economy continues to grow and consumer spending is supported by job growth, accelerating wage growth and the lagged benefits of lower energy costs. We believe the negative impacts to the industrial economy from inventory destocking, the stronger dollar and the Energy sector should lessen in 2016; and government spending may add to growth relative to recent years. The global picture is much more complicated as China, Brazil and Russia unwind their excesses, and emerging markets generally feel the burden of rising debt levels. Led by the emerging markets, global nominal GDP growth has slowed to about half the rate that we averaged in the years prior to the global financial crises. We believe that the deflationary impact from this has pressured commodity prices, earnings, and interest rates and is now manifesting in higher credit spreads. Given less room for error we expect stock market volatility to remain high as investors remain anxious about increased vulnerability to any accident which could knock the economy off its course. While most of the traditional signals of imminent recession are not yet flashing red, it is also difficult to imagine catalysts for growth significantly above the base case. It also seems reasonable to expect the Fed to err on the side of caution in upcoming months in our opinion.

In terms of our approach going forward we acknowledge the elevated risk level. We may be less forgiving of companies falling short on fundamentals. As we have done in the Energy sector, if stress levels increase in other areas we will seek to upgrade to stocks of higher quality companies, while seeking to maintain our value discipline and seeking to not pay excessive safety premiums. We ended the period with the largest relative overweights in Consumer Discretionary,

Materials, and Information Technology and the largest underweights in Financials, Utilities, and Consumer Staples relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Small Company HLS Fund returned -8.21% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index which returned -1.38% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -1.86% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period.

While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment.

Returns varied noticeably over the period by market-cap, as small cap (-4%) and mid cap (-2%) equities underperformed large cap (+1%) equities as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P MidCap 400, and the S&P 500 Indices, respectively. Growth (+5%) stocks outperformed value (-4%) stocks during the period, as measured by the Russell 3000 Growth and Russell 3000 Value Indices. Five of the ten sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had positive returns during the period. Utilities (+16%), Healthcare (+9%), and Information Technology (+5%) performed best, while Energy (-35%), Materials (-17%), and Industrials (-12%) lagged the broader index.

Stock selection was the main driver of underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, primarily due to weak selection within the Information Technology, Industrials, and Healthcare sectors. This was partially offset by stronger selection in the Materials and Energy sectors. Sector allocation, which is the result of bottom-up stock selection, also detracted from relative returns, primarily due to an underweight to Healthcare and an overweight to the Industrials sector which offset the positive impacts of underweight allocations to the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors and an overweight to the Financials sector.

Top detractors from relative returns during the period included Platform Specialty (Materials), Kate Spade (Consumer Discretionary), and Swift Transportation (Industrials). Shares of Platform Specialty, a U.S.-based chemical company, and Swift Transportation, a trucking company, fell as widening bid-ask spreads in the U.S. high yield market led to a broad sell-off of levered companies. We transitioned the Fund’s investment in Swift Transportation to Knight Transportation in light of Knight’s stronger balance sheet in our opinion. Shares of Kate Spade, a U.S.-based designer and marketer of a range of accessories and apparel, fell during the period after the company reported in-store sales that missed expectations. Nomad Foods (Consumer Staples) was also a top detractor from absolute performance.

Top contributors to relative performance during the period included Anacor Pharmaceuticals (Healthcare), DexCom (Healthcare), and WNS (Information Technology). Shares of Anacor Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule therapeutics, rose in response to the news that its topical treatment for nail fungus was approved. Shares of DexCom, a Healthcare equipment company, outperformed during the period after the company announced quarterly results that exceeded expectations on increasing patient additions and technology/equipment upgrades. Shares of WNS, a business process management services company, rose as growth in end market demand and a secular trend toward outsourcing routine business processes supported results. Tyler Technologies (Information Technology) contributed to absolute returns during the period.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

As 2016 begins, we plan to be focused on consistently applying and continuously refining our investment process. With a watchful eye on developments in China and high-yield markets in the U.S., we continue to seek to identify new and exciting opportunities in the small cap growth asset class. This year brought one of the most challenging market environments we have encountered, but we end the year believing the portfolio is well-positioned.

As a result of our bottom-up, stock-by-stock investment decisions, the Fund ended the period most overweight the Financials, Materials, and Energy sectors relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund ended the year most underweight the Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Russell 2500 Index was driven by weak stock selection, particularly in the Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology sectors. This was partially offset by stronger stock selection in the Energy, Healthcare, and Industrials sectors. Overall sector positioning contributed positively to returns relative to the Russell 2500 Index during the period due primarily to an underweight to Materials and an overweight to Information Technology. An overweight to Energy and an underweight to Healthcare detracted from results relative to the Russell 2500 Index during the period.

The largest detractors from absolute performance and performance relative to the Russell 2500 Index during the period were Dillards (Consumer Discretionary), PDL BioPharma (Healthcare), and Meritor (Industrials). Shares of Dillards, a U.S.-based retailer, fell over the year as it missed revenue and earnings expectations multiple times and lowered forward earnings guidance, as it faces increased competition. PDL BioPharma is a firm based in the U.S. that manages a portfolio of patents and royalty assets, which it licenses out to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The share price of PDL BioPharma fell as the company saw a drop-off in sales in the third quarter, in large part due to Valeant’s failure to pay contractual royalties on sales of Glumetza. PDL BioPharma is also facing questions on its future revenue stream as licensing deals to its top patents are expiring. Meritor, a U.S.-based manufacturer of automobile components, particularly for trucks, saw its share price fall in the second half of 2015 as it saw declines in its revenue year-over-year and as the entire heavy-truck component sector faced difficult conditions.

The largest contributors to absolute performance and performance relative to the Russell 2500 Index during the period were Anacor Pharmaceuticals (Healthcare), Alaska Air (Industrials), and Valero

(Energy). Shares of Anacor, a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule therapeutics, rose in response to approved topical treatment for nail fungus. Shares of U.S.-based airline Alaska Air rose as it continued to experience revenue growth and the company has added new routes while expanding capacity on its existing routes. The stock price of Valero, an independent oil refiner, soared during the period even as it has faced lower gasoline prices. Cheaper oil prices have allowed the company to expand its profit margin, even as overall revenues have fallen.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

The Fund seeks to add value by utilizing Wellington Management’s proprietary quantitative research and investment tools in a highly disciplined framework. The Fund focuses on stock selection as the key driver of returns and uses quantitative portfolio optimization techniques to seek to minimize unintended and uncompensated risks. Based on individual stock decisions, the Fund ended the period most overweight the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors and most underweight the Healthcare and Information Technology sectors relative to the Russell 2500 Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford SmallCap Growth HLS Fund returned -0.55% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned -1.38%. For the same period, the Fund also outperformed the -1.86% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&As involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile, with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to

spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of the year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Large cap equities (+1%) outperformed small cap equities (-4%) during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 Indices, respectively. Growth equities (+5%) outperformed value equities (-4%) during the period, as measured by the Russell 3000 Growth and Russell 3000 Value Indices, respectively. Five of the ten sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had positive returns during the period. Utilities (+16%), Healthcare (+9%), and Information Technology (+5%) performed best, while Energy (-35%) and Materials (-17%) lagged the broader index.

Security selection was the primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Selection was strongest within the Information Technology, Healthcare, and Financials sectors and weakest within the Consumer Discretionary sector. Sector allocation, which is a result of bottom-up security selection, contributed modestly to relative results. Underweights to Consumer Discretionary and overweights to Consumer Staples and Financials contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance, while an underweight to Healthcare detracted.

Anacor (Healthcare), Heartland Payment (Information Technology), and DexCom (Healthcare) were top relative contributors to results relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the period. Shares of Anacor, a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule therapeutics, rose in response to the recently approved (2014) topical treatment for nail fungus. Shares of Heartland Payment, a company that provides end-to-end electronic payment processing services to merchants, rose after Global Payments announced it would acquire Heartland for a substantial premium. Shares of DexCom, a Healthcare equipment company, outperformed during the period after the company announced quarterly results that exceeded expectations on increasing patient additions and technology/equipment upgrades.

DexCom’s Management announced strong quarterly revenue growth and raised sales guidance for the full fiscal year. Top absolute contributors during the period also included Tyler Technologies (Information Technology).

The top relative detractors from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the period were Vince (Consumer Discretionary), Kate Spade (Consumer Discretionary), and Synageva (Healthcare). Shares of Vince, an apparel vendor primarily focused on high-end department stores, fell after company management positioned 2015 performance below Street expectations due to a slowdown in their wholesale business. Shares of Kate Spade, a U.S.-based designer and marketer of a range of accessories and apparel, fell during the period after the company reported in-store sales that missed expectations. Sales at the company’s brick-and-mortar stores rose 6% in the first quarter from a year ago, but analysts were expecting 8% growth. Shares of Synageva, a biopharmaceutical firm focused on developing therapies for patients with rare “orphan” diseases, outperformed on news of a merger with Alexion; not holding this benchmark constituent detracted from results. Swift Transportation (Industrials) and La Quinta Holdings (Consumer Discretionary) were among top detractors from absolute performance over the period.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

We believe the U.S. economy remains in a period of moderate economic growth, led by a steady expansion of consumption, housing, and technology spending. However, we are starting to have some concerns about the health of the U.S. manufacturing sector. The ISM Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) was below the 50 threshold during November and December. This indicated a contraction of the manufacturing sector in November and December, as difficult conditions from the stronger U.S. dollar and weak global demand continued to weigh on activity. Ongoing weakness could have negative implications for sectors beyond just Industrials. For instance, Financials could be adversely impacted if credit deteriorates in a long-term cycle of manufacturing weakness. Despite this risk, there are plenty of reasons to remain optimistic about the U.S. Employment trends remain very solid, cheap gasoline should support consumption, and housing is unlikely to be derailed by the Fed’s gradual pace of interest rate hikes, in our opinion.

Overall, we continue to find what we view as attractively valued stocks with the characteristics we seek. We continue to monitor policy decisions and economic trends which may impact our holdings. We remain consistent in adhering to our disciplined portfolio construction process that we believe allows us to assess risk and weigh individual positions accordingly, and in the process build a

portfolio that focuses largely on stock selection for seeking to generate outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

As a result of bottom-up stock selection, the Fund’s top overweights at the end of the period included Consumer Staples, Financials, and Materials. Healthcare, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary constituted the greatest underweights relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index at the end of the period.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Stock HLS Fund returned 2.74% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Russell 1000 Index, which returned 0.92% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -0.57% average return of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21.

federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Overall large cap equities outperformed mid cap and small cap equities during the period, as measured by the Russell 1000 (+1%), the S&P MidCap 400 (-2%), and the Russell 2000 (-4%) indices, respectively. During the twelve-month period, five of the ten sectors within the Russell 1000 Index rose, led by Consumer Discretionary (+8%), Healthcare (+7%), and Consumer Staples (+6%). Energy (-23%) and Materials (-9%) lagged on a relative basis.

The Fund’s outperformance versus the Russell 1000 Index was primarily driven by strong security selection within Financials, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary, which offset weaker selection within Consumer Staples. Sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, contributed to relative returns due primarily to overweight allocations to Consumer Staples and Healthcare. This was partially offset by an underweight to the Information Technology sector, which detracted from performance.

Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Index during the period included Nike (Consumer Discretionary), McDonald’s (Consumer Discretionary), and Chubb Corp (Financials). Shares of Nike, a U.S.-based manufacturer of athletic apparel and gear, rose as the company posted strong earnings and continued to perform well in China. Shares of McDonald’s, a U.S.-based fast food chain, rose during the period after the company announced a rebound in quarterly sales in October, giving investors hope that the turnaround effort by the company and its new CEO could be successful. Shares of Chubb, a U.S.-based property and casualty insurer, rose during the period after it was announced that ACE Limited, a global insurance company, would purchase Chubb for $28.3 billion. Microsoft (Information Technology) also contributed to performance on an absolute basis.

Stocks that detracted the most from returns relative to the Russell 1000 Index during the period were Amazon (Consumer Discretionary), Wal-Mart (Consumer Staples), and Praxair (Industrials). The Fund did not own shares of benchmark-component Amazon, a U.S.-based online retailer, which detracted from relative performance during the year, as the stock price of Amazon rose due to its continued strength in its retail business and stronger than expected growth in its Amazon Web Service (“AWS”). The stock price of Walmart fell after it issued a warning to investors in October that higher wages and continued price pressure from online retailers could cut earnings per share as much as 12% in its next fiscal year.

Shares of Praxair, a U.S.-based industrial gases company, underperformed during the period after the company reported disappointing revenues amid slowdown in global growth and a strengthening U.S. Dollar negatively affecting exports and making future growth difficult. Oracle (Information Technology) also detracted from performance on an absolute basis.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

From our perspective, the global investment narrative is slowly coalescing around a single dominant theme: China. It should be no surprise though. Not only is China the world’s second largest economy, it has been the dominant source of incremental global growth for much of the last decade. The fortunes of the country have had a profoundly positive impact on markets for some time now. And yet we believe it was highly predictable that the eventual slowdown would be equally impactful.

Global markets, be they in commodities, equities or currencies, continue to swoon in the face of the country’s weakness. Complicating the matter is a lack of comfort on the facts. Is the country’s growth rate slowing from 10% to 7% as the official data would suggest? Or is the slowdown far more severe? It is clear that 7% growth is very different from 2% growth in the U.S.

Interestingly, there are times when we need to remind ourselves that there are other factors likely to weigh on markets in the next year. A few would include: the U.S. Presidential election; oil prices; global central bank policy, rates and currencies; and geopolitical strife. These are only a few of the factors, along with China, that are worthy of our consideration. Our central view continues to be one of caution as many of these considerations appear to be headwinds to healthy economic activity and healthy markets. And while the portfolio’s progress would benefit from a better global landscape, we feel comfortable with our positioning given the current outlook.

At the end of the period, our bottom-up investment approach resulted in overweight exposures in Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Healthcare as we continued to find what we believe to be attractive investment opportunities in these sectors. The Fund’s largest underweights relative to the Russell 1000 Index were in Information Technology, Utilities, and Telecommunication Services.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund returned -0.59%, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.55% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the -0.16% average return of the Lipper Core Bond Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Fixed income markets were volatile over the twelve-month period as investors dealt with growing divergences in economic growth and central bank policy. With an improving economic outlook in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world, market participants agonized over the timing of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s (Fed) first rate hike and its potential market implications. Increased risk of a Greek exit from the Eurozone and a prolonged drop in commodity prices further muddied the picture. Oil prices were extremely volatile over the period, having rebounded from record lows at the start of the year but falling again in the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Meanwhile, an unexpected devaluation in China’s currency rattled global financial markets, deepening fears about the Chinese economic slowdown and potential spillover effects on the global economy.

Many major central banks eased monetary policy during the period with some resorting to aggressive measures to counter deflation and stimulate growth. In the first half of the period, the European Central Bank (ECB) launched an open-ended government bond-buying program, which prompted other central banks to act to stop their currencies from appreciating. In China, the central bank entered into an aggressive monetary easing cycle to counter deflationary risks and slowing growth. Sub-trend growth and low inflation kept the Bank of England from enacting policy changes while the Fed charted a course for the end of quantitative easing.

Growth in the major developed markets stabilized in 2015 while emerging market growth languished, held back by a slowdown in Asia. Economic data in the Eurozone both improved and broadened out across countries; however, inflationary pressures were non-existent.

The U.K. and Japan showed little sign of increased inflation despite the continued strength in their respective labor markets. In the U.S., data released during the period highlighted some conflicting themes affecting the economy. The fragile global economy, a stronger dollar, and falling oil prices created difficult conditions for the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, domestically centered industries such as housing, retail, and service-based sectors posted solid results. While low commodity prices suppressed headline inflation, core consumer prices started to gradually move higher, giving the Fed confidence to raise rates in December. This widely anticipated rate hike marked an end to a seven-year period of near-zero interest rates, although the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated that the pace of interest-rate hikes would be very gradual and dependent on the direction of economic data. The FOMC seemingly achieved a smooth liftoff judging by the market’s relatively muted reaction following the announcement.

Globally, most credit risk sectors, with the exception of corporates, posted positive absolute returns as coupon income helped offset the impact of rising interest rates and widening bid-ask spreads. Most sectors underperformed duration-equivalent government bonds as spreads generally widened over the volatile period. High yield, in particular, experienced significant volatility on falling oil prices, China slowdown concerns, and a sharp increase in, high yield mutual fund outflows.

The primary drivers of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index over the period were an allocation to unhedged local currency emerging markets debt and breakeven inflation positioning. Emerging markets debt exhibited very mixed performance during the period; local debt significantly lagged U.S. dollar denominated sovereign and corporate credit as emerging market currencies depreciated against the USD over the period. Additionally, we positioned the portfolio for an increase in inflation expectations as we believed a tightening labor market would lead inflation higher. Breakeven inflation positioning detracted from benchmark-relative performance as inflation expectations fell sharply, particularly in the third quarter. The Fund’s out-of-benchmark allocation to non-agency Residential Mortgage Backed Securities

(RMBS) as well as positioning in high quality Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), all contributed positively to returns relative to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index over the period.

Derivatives were used to manage the Fund’s duration/yield curve positioning. They were also used to seek liquidity and to manage the overall risk positioning of the Fund. High yield credit default swap (CDS) index positions detracted from relative performance, but this was partially offset by positive results from an allocation to European Financials.

What is the outlook?

At the end of the period, we continued to maintain a moderately pro-cyclical risk stance in credit markets based on what we believe to be positive U.S. economic momentum, supportive monetary policy, and attractive valuations. We continue to believe capacity constraints will pressure inflation higher so we were positioned for an increase in inflation expectations at the end of the period. We were also positioned with a neutral U.S. duration posture. At the end of the period, we held allocations to non-agency MBS and high quality CLOs and maintained an overweight to CMBS. Within investment grade credit we continued to favor Financials. We were also overweight agency MBS based on attractive valuations versus Treasuries. Within high yield, we favored BB-rated securities, bank loans, and contingent convertibles (CoCos) of large European banks. We were positioned for widening U.S. dollar denominated EMD spreads.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund returned 0.13%, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays 9-12 Month U.S. Treasury Index, which returned 0.30% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 0.26% average return of the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds that invest primarily in investment grade issues with dollar-weighted average maturities of one to five years.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Fixed income markets were volatile over the twelve-month period as investors dealt with growing divergences in economic growth and central bank policy. With an improving economic outlook in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world, market participants agonized over the timing of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s (Fed) first rate hike and its potential market implications. Increased risk of a Greek exit from the Eurozone and a prolonged drop in commodity prices further muddied the picture. Oil prices were extremely volatile over the period, having rebounded from record lows at the start of the year but falling again in the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Meanwhile, an unexpected devaluation in China’s currency rattled global financial markets, deepening fears about the Chinese economic slowdown and potential spillover effects on the global economy.

Sub-trend growth and low inflation kept the Bank of England from enacting policy changes while the Fed charted a course for the end of quantitative easing.

Globally, most credit risk sectors, with the exception of corporates, posted positive absolute returns as coupon income helped offset the impact of rising interest rates and widening bid-ask spreads. Most sectors underperformed duration-equivalent government bonds as spreads generally widened over the volatile period. High yield, in particular, experienced significant volatility on falling oil prices, China slowdown concerns, and a sharp increase in, high yield mutual fund outflows.

All sectors held by the Fund contributed to performance relative to the Barclays 9-12 Month U.S. Treasury Index during the period. An out-of-benchmark allocation to investment grade corporate credit, particularly within Financials and Industrials, contributed to relative performance during the period. An out-of-benchmark allocation to Asset Backed Securities (ABS) was also additive, specifically within auto and credit card ABS. Yield curve and duration positioning contributed positively to performance relative to the Barclays 9-12 Month U.S. Treasury Index during the period as we were short duration relative to the benchmark as short rates rose during the period. Allocation to the Investment Grade Credit during the period detracted from overall Fund performance. A heavy supply of new issue corporate bonds during the third quarter and the fourth quarter, combined with a risk adverse market sentiment, pressured performance of the sector as demand could not keep up with supply during the period. We use Treasury futures and interest rate swaps to manage duration and yield curve exposure which were modestly additive to performance.

What is the outlook?

U.S. economic momentum appears to be positive, and we expect moderately stronger U.S. growth in 2016. However, challenges to the global growth outlook and uncertainty surrounding China and emerging markets broadly remain. On balance, the Fund is positioned with a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture.

We continue to expect the Fed to raise the Fed Funds rate gradually in 2016 as the data allows; as a result, at the end of the period our duration positioning was short relative to the Barclays 9-12 Month U.S. Treasury Index. We believe that U.S. governments remain the most liquid sector, and continue to own select agencies with maturities of 3 years and or less. Commodity prices have kept inflation low but we believe wage pressures are likely to build.

We continued to be positioned with out-of-benchmark allocations to investment grade corporates, ABS, and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) at the end of the period. Within investment grade corporates, we favor U.S. Financials, as financial companies have de-levered significantly. Within ABS, we favor auto, credit card and equipment issuers. We also continue to believe CMBS valuations and long term fundamentals remain attractive.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund returned 1.56% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index, which returned 1.18% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 0.80% average return of the Lipper Intermediate U.S. Government Funds peer group, a group of funds that invest primarily in U.S. government and agency issues.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Fixed income markets were volatile over the twelve-month period as investors dealt with growing divergences in economic growth and central bank policy. With an improving economic outlook in the U.S. relative to the rest of the world, market participants agonized over the timing of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s (Fed) first rate hike and its potential market implications. Increased risk of a Greek exit from the Eurozone and a prolonged drop in commodity prices further muddied the picture. Oil prices were extremely volatile over the period, having rebounded from record lows at the start of the year but falling again in the third and fourth quarters of 2015. Meanwhile, an unexpected devaluation in China’s currency rattled global financial markets, deepening fears about the Chinese economic slowdown and potential spillover effects on the global economy.

Many major central banks eased monetary policy during the period with some resorting to aggressive measures to counter deflation and stimulate growth. In the first half of the period, the European Central Bank (ECB) launched an open-ended government bond-buying program, which prompted other central banks to act to stop their currencies from appreciating. In China, the central bank entered into an aggressive monetary easing cycle to counter deflationary risks and slowing growth. Sub-trend growth and low inflation kept the Bank of England from enacting policy changes while the Fed charted a course for the end of quantitative easing.

Growth in the major developed markets stabilized in 2015 while emerging market growth languished, held back by a slowdown in Asia. Economic data in the Eurozone both improved and broadened out across countries; however, inflationary pressures were non-existent. The U.K. and Japan showed little sign of increased inflation despite the continued strength in their respective labor markets. In the U.S., data released during the period highlighted some conflicting themes affecting the economy. The fragile global economy, a stronger dollar, and falling oil prices created difficult conditions for the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, domestically centered

While low commodity prices suppressed headline inflation, core consumer prices started to gradually move higher, giving the Fed confidence to raise rates in December. This widely anticipated rate hike marked an end to a seven-year period of near-zero interest rates, although the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated that the pace of interest-rate hikes would be very gradual and dependent on the direction of economic data. The FOMC seemingly achieved a smooth liftoff judging by the market’s relatively muted reaction following the announcement.

Globally, most credit risk sectors, with the exception of corporates, posted positive absolute returns as coupon income helped offset the impact of rising interest rates and widening bid-ask spreads. Most sectors underperformed duration-equivalent government bonds as spreads generally widened over the volatile period. High yield, in particular, experienced significant volatility on falling oil prices, China slowdown concerns, and a sharp increase in, high yield mutual fund outflows.

Out-of-benchmark allocations to mortgage backed securities (MBS), Asset Backed Securities (ABS), and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) were the main drivers of outperformance relative to the Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index over the period. Specifically within MBS, allocations to agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), Delegated Underwriting Servicing bonds (DUS), and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) contributed to the Fund’s relative outperformance over the period. Within ABS, exposure to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) was the primary driver of benchmark-relative returns over the period.

During the period, we used Treasury futures and interest rate swaps to manage duration and yield curve exposures; overall these components had a neutral impact on performance relative to the Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index over the period. On the other hand, an out-of-benchmark allocation to U.S. TIPS and duration and yield curve positioning detracted from returns relative to the Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index over the period.

What is the outlook?

We maintain our view that the Fed will continue to raise short term interest rates going into 2016 based on what we consider to be an improving domestic economy, which we believe should put upward pressure on the front end of the yield curve. We expect volatility in MBS spreads over the short term to be relatively low. MBS spreads

have tightened since the mid-December Fed meeting, back toward the tight-end of their recent range. The Fed also stated their intention to continue reinvesting MBS principal payments until the normalization process is “well under way”, likely into 2016 at the earliest.

As the year progresses, we expect Fed uncertainty, concerns over the implications of tightening monetary policy, and higher rates, with the potential to pressure MBS spreads. Additionally, we believe that spreads will likely widen if the Fed eventually ceases reinvestment, and we expect this to be priced into the market well in advance of when the end of reinvestment is announced. Consequently, with spreads close to the tight end of the historical range, we are less convinced that they can sustain these levels as the year progresses.

We have a constructive outlook on most non-agency RMBS, given the continuing recovery of the U.S. housing market. Spreads have tightened substantially in the wake of the global financial crisis; however, we still believe the sector is attractively valued versus other credit markets, especially given our assessment of the relative risks. We continue to expect home-price appreciation to normalize toward the historical range of 3-5% which should continue to support the sector. Despite recovering housing starts, inventory remains low after years of underdevelopment, and underwriting standards remain quite conservative. In this environment, we believe the credit performance of residential mortgages should continue to improve.

Our longer term outlook on CMBS is constructive due to favorable commercial real estate (CRE) fundamentals and compelling valuations in our opinion. However, we are cautious in the near term given the heavy expected supply and deteriorating underwriting standards on new issuance. We believe fundamentals remain positive as the sector continues to be supported by the recovering economy, an improved CRE lending environment, and a manageable near-term loan-maturity schedule. Occupancy and rents have risen, resulting in continued price appreciation. Within new issuance, underwriting standards continue to deteriorate with an increase in leverage, more interest only (IO) loans, and non-traditional property types, which requires us to be judicious in security selection, both within and across mergers and acquisitions. Rising interest rates remain a risk factor, but as long as that is accompanied by a recovering economy and improving rents, we believe the impact on CMBS should be limited.

Overall, we continue to be constructive on the ABS sector driven by strong consumer fundamentals. We believe a strengthening employment picture combined with low energy prices should continue to benefit consumers, especially those with a lower income. In addition, we continue to see value in senior CLOs, but are more neutral relative to other structured credit.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class IA shares of Hartford Value HLS Fund returned -3.08% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned -3.83% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the -3.82% average return of the Lipper Large Cap Value Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose modestly during the twelve-month period. U.S. stocks retreated briefly early in 2015, but then reached new all-time highs on March 2, April 24, and May 21. The market pulled back in early March as soft manufacturing data, potentially negative currency- and oil-related earnings, and valuation concerns weighed on investors’ minds. However, risk appetites increased after the March 18 Federal Open Market Committee statement underlined the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hesitation to raise rates as U.S. domestic inflation remained subdued and other major central banks maintained an easing bias. In April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite topped the 5,000 mark for the first time in 15 years and broke its closing record from March 2000. Continued strong merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, a rebound in hiring, and solid housing data helped to fuel risk appetites. May marked the second-best month ever for M&As involving U.S. companies with $234 billion in announced mergers. Stocks ended June on a sour note after negotiations between Greece and its creditors regarding Greece’s loan repayments broke down.

In the second half of the period, the U.S. economy remained on solid footing, with a sharp rebound in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a seven-year low in unemployment, and a healthy housing market report. While the growth slowdown in China and its implications for global commerce fueled investor anxiety, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate hike timeline also weighed on sentiment. During August and September, the market remained extremely volatile and experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since October 2011. Oil prices and the Energy sector as a whole remained extremely volatile,

with prices recovering from the initial drop earlier in the period and falling sharply towards the end of the year. As many market participants expected, the Fed left rates unchanged at its highly anticipated September meeting. The Fed’s statement appeared to spook some investors as it acknowledged that “recent global economic and financial developments may restrain economic activity somewhat and are likely to put further downward pressure on inflation in the near term.” After much anticipation, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2006 in December, approving a small increase in the federal funds rate. The market initially reacted positively to the news, but remained volatile through the end of year as investors digested the impact of the rate increase and global economic developments.

Returns varied noticeably over the period by market-cap, as small cap (-4%) and mid cap (-2%) equities underperformed large cap (+1%) equities as measured by the Russell 2000, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P 500 Indices, respectively. In this environment, seven of the ten sectors within the Russell 1000 Value Index posted negative returns during the period. The Energy (-23%), Materials (-11%), and Consumer Discretionary (-6%) sectors lagged the most while Healthcare (+8%), Telecommunications Services (+4%), and Industrials (+1%) posted positive returns for the year.

The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index during the period was primarily driven by positive security selection. Strong security selection within the Consumer Staples, Information Technology, and Financials sectors more than offset weaker selection within the Energy and Healthcare sectors. Sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, marginally detracted from benchmark-relative performance, largely due to benchmark-relative overweights to the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors, which offset the positive impact of an underweight to Energy.

The largest contributors to returns relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index were Kraft Foods Group (Consumer Staples), Kinder Morgan (Energy), and Home Depot (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Kraft Foods Group, a packaged food company, rose during the

period on news of its merger with Heinz, a move that was viewed favorably by investors. Shares of Kinder Morgan, a U.S.-based oil pipeline transportation and storage company, fell over the period as oil prices continued to deteriorate. Not holding the benchmark constituent contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns over the period. Shares of U.S.-based home improvement retailer Home Depot rose as the company benefited from a sturdy U.S. housing market amid a continuing low interest rate environment. Top absolute contributors during the period also included Microsoft (Information Technology).

The top detractors from returns relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index over the period were Southwestern Energy (Energy), Marathon Oil (Energy), and PVH Corp (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of U.S.-based natural gas and oil exploration, development, and production companies Southwestern Energy and Marathon Oil were weighed down by weakness in the energy markets. Shares of PVH Corp, a U.S.-based global apparel company, fell over the period due to worries about the strong U.S. dollar negatively impacting earnings, despite what appeared to be competent management execution of its business plan. Chevron (Energy) also detracted on an absolute basis.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

Looking ahead to 2016, we continue to seek what we consider to be balance in the portfolio to allow for upside potential while limiting downside risk. For example, while some bank and insurance stocks should benefit from prospective rate increases, we expect to continue to maintain exposure to other sectors of the market that are less interest rate sensitive. We likely will avoid Financials with higher exposure to energy markets. Within Energy, we appreciate that the moderation of commodity prices may follow several different paths, and we are looking to incorporate a broad range of possible prices into our analysis. We are positioning the portfolio to have exposure to companies we believe are best capitalized to withstand a protracted period of depressed prices. Based on individual stock decisions, the Fund ended the period most overweight to the Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Industrials sectors, and most underweight the Financials, Utilities, and Energy sectors relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, if any, and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 entire period of July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The first set of columns of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 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 set of columns of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a 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 a 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) or fees which may be applied at the variable life insurance, variable annuity, or qualified retirement plan product level. Therefore, the second set of columns 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 a Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

   The Fund may refer to any one or more of the industry classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indices, ratings group indices and/or as defined by Fund management. Industry classifications may not be identical across all security types.

 

   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.

 

   For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund may not use the same classification system shown in this report as these classifications are used for financial reporting purposes.

 

^ At December 31, 2015, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $357,045,579 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost were:

 

Unrealized Appreciation

   $ 5,021,574

* Non-income producing.

 

(1)  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. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At December 31, 2015, the aggregate value of these securities was $137,071,364, which represents 41.7% of total net assets.

 

(2)  Non-income producing. For long-term debt securities, items identified are in default as to payment of interest and/or principal.

 

(3)  These securities are valued in good faith at fair value as determined under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $921,843, which represents 0.3% of total net assets. This amount excludes securities that are principally traded in certain foreign markets and whose prices are adjusted pursuant to a third party pricing service methodology approved by the Board of Directors.

 

(4)  Perpetual maturity security. Maturity date shown is the next call date or final legal maturity date, whichever comes first.

 

(5)  These securities were sold to the Fund under Regulation S, rules governing offers and sales made outside the United States without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund may only be able to resell these securities in the United States if an exemption from registration under the federal and state securities laws is available, or the Fund may only be able to sell these securities outside of the United States (such as on a foreign exchange) to a non-U.S. person. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At December 31, 2015, the aggregate value of these securities was $4,979,458, which represents 1.5% of total net assets.

 

(6)  Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at December 31, 2015.

 

(7)  This security may pay interest in additional principal instead of cash.

 

(8)  Senior floating rate interests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR, and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. 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. Unless otherwise noted, the interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the average coupon as of December 31, 2015.

 

(9)  The issuer is in bankruptcy. However, the investment held by the Fund is current with respect to interest payments.

 

(10)  The following security is considered illiquid. Illiquid securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are often not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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.

     Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets may be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Directors in order to reflect an adjustment for factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange.

 

     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.

 

     For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund may not use the same classification system shown in this report as these classifications are used for financial reporting purposes.

At December 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $51,531,069, which represents 4.2% of total net assets. This amount excludes securities that are principally traded in certain foreign markets and whose prices are adjusted pursuant to a third party pricing service methodology approved by the Board of Directors.

Illiquid securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are often not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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.

     The Fund may refer to any one or more of the industry classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indices, ratings group indices and/or as defined by Fund management. Industry classifications may not be identical across all security types.

 

     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.

 

     For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund may not use the same classification system shown in this report as these classifications are used for financial reporting purposes.

 

^ At December 31, 2015, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $3,429,359,943 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost were:

(1)  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. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At December 31, 2015, the aggregate value of these securities was $738,395,539, which represents 26.9% of total net assets.

 

(2)  Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at December 31, 2015.

 

(3)  Securities disclosed are interest-only strips.

 

(4)  These securities were sold to the Fund under Regulation S, rules governing offers and sales made outside the United States without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund may only be able to resell these securities in the United States if an exemption from registration under the federal and state securities laws is available, or the Fund may only be able to sell these securities outside of the United States (such as on a foreign exchange) to a non-U.S. person. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At December 31, 2015, the aggregate value of these securities was $63,221,852, which represents 2.3% of total net assets.

 

(5)  Perpetual maturity security. Maturity date shown is the next call date or final legal maturity date, whichever comes first.

 

(6)  The principal amount for these securities are adjusted for inflation and the interest payments equal a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount.

 

(7)  Senior floating rate interests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR, and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. 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. Unless otherwise noted, the interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the average coupon as of December 31, 2015.

 

(8)  The issuer is in bankruptcy. However, the investment held by the Fund is current with respect to interest payments.

 

(9)  All or a portion of this position represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(10)  Non-income producing. For long-term debt securities, items identified are in default as to payment of interest and/or principal.

 

(11)  This security, or a portion of this security, has unfunded loan commitments. As of December 31, 2015, the aggregate value of the unfunded commitment was $59,250, which rounds to zero percent of total net assets.

 

(12)  Securities disclosed are principal-only strips.

 

(13)  Represents or includes a TBA transaction.

 

(14)  This security, or a portion of this security, has been pledged as collateral in connection with centrally cleared swap contracts.

 

(15)  This security, or a portion of this security, has been pledged as collateral in connection with futures contracts.

 

(16)  This security, or a portion of this security, has been pledged as collateral in connection with OTC swap contracts.

(a)  The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(b)  Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues, U.S. municipal issues or sovereign government issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. The percentage shown is the implied credit spread on December 31, 2015. For credit default swap agreements on indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Credit spreads are unaudited.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of each Fund used in the preparation of its financial statements, which are in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  a) Determination of Net Asset Value – The NAV of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open (“Valuation Date”). Information that becomes known to the Funds after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day.

 

  b) Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements – For purposes of calculating the NAV of each Fund, portfolio investments and other assets held by the Fund’s portfolio for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices or official close price. If no sales are reported, market value is based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the investment as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the respective Company’s Board of Directors. Market quotes are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or indicative market quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s portfolio investments or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the investments trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. In addition, prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets may be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service approved by the respective Company’s Board of Directors in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close. Investments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign investments in which a Fund invests 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 a Fund may cause the NAV of its 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 investment is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair market value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.

Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations), non-exchange traded derivatives and centrally cleared swaps held by a Fund are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from independent pricing services or brokers and dealers in accordance with procedures established by the respective Company’s Board of Directors. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values through accepted market modeling, trading and pricing conventions. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, prepayment speeds, pricing spread, yield, trade information, dealer quotes, market color, cash flow models and the investment’s terms and conditions. Generally, a Fund may use fair valuation in regard to fixed income investments when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed investments or investments in a company in which a reorganization is pending. 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. A composite bid price is used, which is an average of the dealer marks and dealer runs. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days, which approximates fair value.

Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price or last trade price determined by the relevant exchange as of the NYSE Close. If the last trade price for exchange traded options does not fall between the bid and ask prices, the value will be the mean of the bid and ask prices as of the NYSE Close. If a last trade price is not available, the value will be

 

 

  221  

 


Hartford HLS Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

December 31, 2015

 

 

 

the mean of the bid and ask prices as of the NYSE Close. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the bid price as of the NYSE Close. In the case of OTC options and such instruments that do not trade on an exchange, values may be supplied by a pricing service using a formula or other objective method that may take into consideration the style, direction, expiration, strike price, notional value and volatility or other special adjustments.

Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of a Fund.

Foreign currency contracts represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. Foreign currency contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates as provided by an independent pricing service on the Valuation Date.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the Valuation Date.

Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the respective financial instrument in accordance with procedures established by the respective Company’s Board of Directors.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a fair value hierarchy for each major category of assets and liabilities. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized 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 investments. Level 1 may include exchange traded instruments, such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, rights and warrants.
    Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar investments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 may include debt investments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments and which are valued using independent pricing services; foreign equities, which are principally traded on certain foreign markets and are adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close; senior floating rate interests, which are valued using an aggregate of dealer bids; short-term investments, which are valued at amortized cost; and swaps, which are valued based upon the terms of each swap contract.
    Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by limited or no market activity. Level 3 may include financial instruments whose values are determined using indicative market quotes or require significant management judgment or estimation. These unobservable valuation inputs may include estimates for current yields, maturity/duration, prepayment speed, and indicative market quotes for comparable investments along with other assumptions relating to credit quality, collateral value, complexity of the investment structure, general market conditions and liquidity. This category may include investments where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these investments are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these investments reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a reasonable representation of exit price.

The Board of Directors of each Company generally reviews and approves the “Procedures for Valuation of Portfolio Investments” at least once a year. These procedures define how investments are to be valued, including the formation and activities of a Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of investments when the value cannot be obtained from primary pricing services or alternative sources or if the valuation of an investment as provided by the primary pricing service or alternative source is believed not to reflect the investment’s fair value as of the Valuation Date. Voting members of the Valuation Committee include each Company’s Treasurer or designee and a Vice President of the investment manager or designee. A Vice President of each Company with legal expertise or designee is also included on the Valuation Committee as a non-voting advisory member. In addition, each Company’s Chief Compliance Officer shall designate a member of the compliance group to attend Valuation Committee meetings as a non-voting resource, to monitor for and provide guidance with respect to compliance with these

procedures. Two members of the Valuation Committee or their designees, representing different departments, shall constitute a quorum for purposes of permitting the Valuation Committee to take action. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of each Fund’s sub-adviser, as applicable, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of each Company’s Board of Directors. The Audit Committee receives quarterly written reports which include details of all fair-valued investments, including the reason for the fair valuation, and an indication, when possible, of the accuracy of the valuation by disclosing the next available reliable public price quotation or the disposition price of such investments (the “lookback” test). The Board of Directors of each Company then must consider for ratification all of the fair value determinations made during the previous quarter.

Valuation levels are not necessarily indicative of the risk associated with investing in such investments. Individual investments within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than those presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.

For additional information, refer to the Fair Valuation Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Following is quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements:

  c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Investments purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary loan market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the secondary loan market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.

Dividend income from domestic securities is accrued on the ex-dividend date. In general, dividend income from foreign securities is recorded on the ex-date; however, dividend notifications in certain foreign jurisdictions may not be available in a timely manner and as a result, a Fund will record the dividend as soon as the relevant details (i.e., rate per share, payment date, shareholders of record, etc.) are publicly available. Interest income, including amortization of premium, accretion of discounts, inflation adjustments and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage related and other asset backed securities are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, as applicable.

 

  d) Taxes – A Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which such Fund invests. The amount of foreign tax expense is included on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a reduction to net realized gain on investments in these securities, if applicable.

 

  e) Foreign Currency Transactions – Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the Valuation Date. Purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions.

A Fund does not isolate that portion of portfolio investment valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments held. Exchange rate 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.

  f) Joint Trading Account – Each Fund may invest cash balances into a joint trading account that may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements.

 

  g) Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders – Orders for each Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders and plan participants. The NAV of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of business on each business day of the Exchange (see Note 2(a)). The NAV is determined separately for each class of shares of a Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Each class of shares offered by a Fund has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets of the class. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of shares of each Fund.

Orders for the purchase of a Fund’s shares received prior to the close of the Exchange on any day the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Funds are not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.

Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the respective Company’s Board of Directors. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of each Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, at least once a year.

Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing (see Federal Income Taxes: Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings and Reclassification of Capital Accounts notes).

 

3. Securities and Other Investments:

 

  a) Repurchase Agreements – A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which a counterparty agrees to sell an investment and agrees to repurchase the investment sold from the buyer at a mutually agreed upon time and price. During the period of the repurchase agreement, the counterparty will deposit cash and or securities in a third party custodial account to serve as collateral. At the time a Fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Repurchase agreements expose a Fund to counterparty risk – that is, the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligations. To minimize counterparty risk, the investments that serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by a 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, which approximates fair value. Repurchase agreements have master netting arrangements which allow a Fund to offset amounts owed to a counterparty with amounts owed by the counterparty, including any collateral. Upon an event of default under a master repurchase agreement, the nondefaulting party may close out all transactions traded under such agreement and net amounts owed under each transaction to one net amount payable by one party to the other. Absent an event of default, the master repurchase agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between a Fund and the applicable counterparty. There were no outstanding repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2015.

 

  b) Illiquid and Restricted Investments – Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. Illiquid investments 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 investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid 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 investments also may be more difficult to value due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such investments, and an investment in them may have an adverse impact on a Fund’s NAV. Each Fund may also purchase certain restricted investments that can only be resold to certain qualified investors and may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the respective Company’s Board of Directors. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for illiquid or restricted investments as of December 31, 2015.

 

  c)

Investments Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis – Delivery and payment for investments that have been purchased by a Fund on a forward commitment, or when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, take place beyond the customary settlement period. A Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell delayed-

 

 

  225  

 


Hartford HLS Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

December 31, 2015

 

 

 

  delivery investments before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. During this period, such investments are subject to market fluctuations, and a Fund identifies investments segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for when-issued or delayed-delivery investments as of December 31, 2015.

In connection with a Fund’s ability to purchase investments on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, the Fund may enter into to-be announced (“TBA”) commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed-upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. Although a Fund may enter into TBA commitments with the intention of acquiring or delivering securities for its portfolio, the Fund can extend the settlement date, roll the transaction, or dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if deemed appropriate to do so. If the TBA commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting TBA commitment, a Fund realizes a gain or loss. In a TBA roll transaction, a Fund generally purchases or sells the initial TBA commitment prior to the agreed upon settlement date and enters into a new TBA commitment for future delivery or receipt of the mortgage backed securities. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date.

 

  d) 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. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a senior floating rate interest, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund may also enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a senior floating rate interest. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive various fees upon the restructure of a senior floating rate interest by a borrower. Fees earned/paid may be recorded as a component of income or realized gain/loss in the Statements of Operations.

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 a 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. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding senior floating rate interests as of December 31, 2015.

 

  e) Mortgage Related and Other Asset Backed Securities – Certain Funds may invest in mortgage related and other asset backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage backed securities, stripped mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. Mortgage related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. Asset backed securities are created from many types of assets, including auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans, and student loans. These securities provide a monthly payment that consists of both interest and principal payments. Interest payments may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage related security, and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage related securities is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Mortgage related and other asset backed securities created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that the private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for mortgage related and other asset backed securities as of December 31, 2015.

 

  f)

Inflation Indexed Bonds – Certain Funds may invest in inflation indexed bonds. Inflation indexed bonds are fixed income investments whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation indexed bond will be included as

 

 

  226

  interest income on the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive the principal amount until maturity. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for inflation indexed bonds as of December 31, 2015.

 

4. Financial Derivative Instruments:

The following disclosures contain information on how and why a Fund uses derivative instruments, the credit-risk-related contingent features in certain derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in the following Additional Derivative Instrument Information footnote. The derivative instruments outstanding as of period-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, if applicable. The amounts of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

 

  a) Foreign Currency Contracts – A Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts that obligate the Fund to purchase or sell currencies at specified future dates. Foreign currency contracts are used to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s investments and/or as part of an investment strategy. Foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. A Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the foreign currency contract is settled.

Foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts 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. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2015.

 

  b) Futures Contracts – A Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date. A Fund uses futures contracts to manage or obtain exposure to the investment markets, commodities, or movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the investments held by a Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) an amount of cash or U.S. Government or Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily at the most recent settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively, and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by a Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities; however, a Fund seeks to reduce this risk through the use of an FCM. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding futures contracts as of December 31, 2015.

 

  c)

Options Contracts – An option contract is a contract sold by one party to another party that offers the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an investment or other financial asset at an agreed-upon price during a specific period of time or on a specific date. Option contracts are either privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC options”) or executed in a registered exchange (“exchange traded options”). A Fund may write (sell) covered call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities, commodities or currencies. “Covered” means that so long as a Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the underlying investments or currency or an option to purchase the same underlying investments 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 investments having a value equal to or greater than the fluctuating market value of the option investment or currency. Writing put options increases a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options decreases a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, investment or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. A Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options increases a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options decreases a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium, which is included on the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and is subsequently marked to

 

 

  227  

 


Hartford HLS Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

December 31, 2015

 

 

 

  market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is generally limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Entering into over-the-counter options also exposes a Fund to counterparty risk. Counterparty risk is the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements.

See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding purchased and written option contracts as of December 31, 2015. Transactions involving written option contracts during the year ended December 31, 2015, are summarized below:

  d) Swap Contracts – A Fund may invest in swap contracts. Swap contracts are agreements to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap contracts are either privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or cleared in a central clearing house (“centrally cleared swaps”). A Fund may enter into credit default, total return, cross-currency, interest rate, inflation and other forms of swap contracts to manage its exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, commodity and inflation risk. Swap contracts are also used to gain exposure to certain markets. In connection with these contracts, investments or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap contracts and/or master netting arrangement to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.

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 respective Company’s Board of Directors. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value (“variation margin”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses on centrally cleared swaps are recorded upon the termination of the swap. OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap contract and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant factors). These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at

 

 

  228  

 


Hartford HLS Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

December 31, 2015

 

 

 

the termination or maturity of the swap is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations.

Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of liquidation, counterparty, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these contracts, that the counterparty to the contracts may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the contracts, and that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant factors).

A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk for OTC swaps is the net value of the discounted cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, and current market value, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty, which allows for the netting of payments made or received (although such amounts are presented on a gross basis within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as applicable) as well as the posting of collateral to a Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. In a centrally cleared swap, while a Fund enters into an agreement with a clearing broker to execute contracts with a counterparty, the performance of the swap is guaranteed by the central clearinghouse, which reduces the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk. The Fund is still exposed to the counterparty risk through the clearing broker and clearinghouse. The clearinghouse attempts to minimize this risk to its participants through the use of mandatory margin requirements, daily cash settlements and other procedures. Likewise, the clearing broker reduces its risk through margin requirements and required segregation of customer balances.

Credit Default Swap Contracts – The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed. Certain credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying investment or index in the event of a credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy.

Under a credit default swap contract, one party acts as guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying investment at par if the defined credit event occurs. Upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the difference between the value of the reference obligation and the swap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on swap transactions in the Statements of Operations. 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. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. A “seller’s” exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or upfront payments received upon entering into the contract.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on corporate issues, sovereign government issues or U.S. municipal issues as of year-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, as applicable, and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and there may also be upfront payments required to be made to enter into the contract. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced equity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding credit default swap contracts as of December 31, 2015.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts – Certain Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of fixed rate bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, a Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate, based on a specified interest rate or benchmark (e.g. London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)), multiplied by a notional amount, in return for payments equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the same amount, for a specific period of time. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap contracts is recorded as a

realized gain or loss. Interest rate swaps are marked to market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. When the interest rate swap contract is terminated early, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the current market value and the upfront premium or cost.

If an interest rate swap contract provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional amount as well. Interest rate swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index. The risks of interest rate swaps include changes in market conditions which will affect the value of the contract or the cash flows and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the contract. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding interest rate swap contracts as of December 31, 2015.

Spreadlock Swap Contracts – Certain Funds may invest in spreadlock swap contracts. These contracts involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the spread difference between two interest rate curves and a fixed spread at a specific forward date determined at the beginning of the contract. Settlement amounts paid or received are recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations at the determination date. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding speadlock swap contracts as of December 31, 2015.

Cross Currency Swaps – Certain Funds may enter into cross currency swap agreements to gain or mitigate exposure to currency risk. A cross currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential among them. Such swaps may involve initial and final exchanges that correspond to the agreed upon notional amount. Cross currency swaps usually involve the delivery of the entire principal value of one designated currency in exchange for the other designated currency. Therefore, the entire principal value of a cross currency swap is subject to the risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding cross currency swap contracts as of December 31, 2015.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the average amount or number per contract outstanding for each derivative type was as follows:

 

Derivative Description

   Average Notional
Par or Face  Amount
 

Futures contracts

   $ 60,638,889   

 

  Averages are based on activity levels during 2015.
  (1)  Cumulative appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts is disclosed within the Schedule of Investments under the open “Futures Contracts” section. Only current day’s variation margin, if any, are reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
  (2)  Statements of Assets and Liabilities location: Cumulative appreciation (depreciation) on centrally cleared swaps, if applicable, is disclosed within the Schedule of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin, if any, are reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. OTC swaps are reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities within Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on OTC swap contracts, if applicable.

 

  f) Balance Sheet Offsetting Information – Set forth below are tables which disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and instruments and transactions that are subject to a master netting arrangement, as well as amounts related to margin, reflected as financial collateral (including cash collateral), held at clearing brokers, counterparties and a Fund’s custodian. The master netting arrangements allow the clearing brokers to net any collateral held in or on behalf of a Fund, or liabilities or payment obligations of the clearing brokers to the Fund, against any liabilities or payment obligations of the Fund to the clearing brokers. A Fund is required to deposit financial collateral (including cash collateral) at the Fund’s custodian on behalf of clearing brokers and counterparties to continually meet the original and maintenance requirements established by the clearing brokers and counterparties. Such requirements are specific to the respective clearing broker or counterparty. Certain master netting arrangements may not be enforceable in a bankruptcy.

The following tables present the Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities, presented on a gross basis as no amounts are netted within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement or similar agreement (“MNA”) and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of December 31, 2015:

5. Principal Risks:

The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of equity securities may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

Credit risk depends largely on the perceived financial health of bond issuers. In general, the credit rating is inversely related to the credit risk of the issuer. Higher rated bonds generally are deemed to have less credit risk, while lower or unrated bonds are deemed to have higher risk of default. The share price, yield and total return of a fund that holds securities with higher credit risk may be more volatile than those of a fund that holds bonds with lower credit risk. Similar to credit risk, a Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which a Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default.

Certain investments held by a Fund expose the Fund to various risks which may include, but are not limited to, interest rate, prepayment, extension and foreign currency risks. Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the values of certain fixed income securities held by a Fund are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e., yield) movements. Senior floating rate interests and securities subject to prepayment and extension risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline. 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 and extension risk are major risks of mortgage backed securities, senior floating rate interests and certain asset backed securities. For certain asset backed securities, the actual maturity may be less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments, if applicable. As a result, the timing of income recognition relating to these securities may vary based upon the actual maturity.

If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency (U.S. dollars) of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, a Fund’s investments in foreign currency denominated securities may reduce the returns, if applicable, of the Fund.

 

6. Federal Income Taxes:

 

  a) Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) 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. Each Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years, if applicable, and intends to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2015. 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), Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Distributions – Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”), Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), RICs, certain derivatives and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net 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.

  d) Reclassification of Capital Accounts – The Funds may record reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and tax accounting for such items as foreign currency, PFICs, expiration or utilization of capital loss carryforwards or net operating losses. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Funds’ distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from undistributed net investment income, from accumulated 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, 2015, the Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below:

  e) Capital Loss Carryforward – On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which made changes to the capital loss carryforward rules. The changes are effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under prior regulation.

At December 31, 2015 (tax year end), the capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

     Year of Expiration      Unlimited
Short-Term
Capital Loss

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

December 31, 2015

 

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Balanced HLS Fund, International Opportunities HLS Fund, Stock HLS Fund and U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund utilized $211,517,148, $38,493,972, $155,434,160 and $5,276,739 of prior year capital loss carryforwards, respectively.

 

  f) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – Pursuant to provisions set forth by U.S. GAAP, Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) reviews each Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years. As of December 31, 2015, HFMC had reviewed the open tax years and concluded that there was no reason to record a liability for net unrecognized tax obligations relating to uncertain income tax positions. Each Fund files U.S. tax returns. Although the statute of limitations for examining a Fund’s U.S. tax returns remains open for 3 years, no examination is currently in progress. HFMC is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax obligations will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

7. Expenses:

 

  a) Investment Management Agreement – HFMC serves as each Fund’s investment manager. Each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with HFMC. HFMC is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). HFMC has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, HFMC provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of each Fund.

Effective January 1, 2015, HFMC has delegated certain accounting and administrative services functions to State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by HFMC, not by the Funds, and HFMC compensates State Street for its services out of its own resources.

 

  c) Operating Expenses – Allocable expenses incurred by each Company are allocated to each Fund, as applicable, and allocated to classes within each Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of each Fund and each class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to each Fund or to specific classes within a Fund.

 

  d) Fees Paid Indirectly – Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc., on behalf of its series except U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund, and Hartford Series Fund, Inc., on behalf of its series except High Yield HLS Fund, Total Return Bond HLS Fund and Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund, have entered into agreements with State Street Global Markets, LLC and Russell Implementation Services, 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 agreed to reduce its fees when a Fund maintains cash on deposit in a non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended December 31, 2015, these amounts, if any, 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. The annualized expense ratio after waivers reflecting the reduction for fees paid indirectly for the period is as follows:

  e) Distribution Plans for Class IB and Class IC Shares – Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (“HFD”), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford, is the principal underwriter and distributor of each Fund. Each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for Class IB shares and each Company, on behalf of certain Funds, has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act for Class IC shares.

Pursuant to the Class IB Distribution Plans, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to its Class IB shares for distribution financing activities and shareholder account servicing activities. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder servicing expenses and/or distribution expenses. Pursuant to the Class IC Distribution Plans, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to its Class IC shares for distribution financing activities.

Each Board has the authority to suspend or reduce these payments at any point in time. The distribution fees paid during the period can be found on the Statements of Operations. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as each Company’s Board of Directors may determine.

11. Line of Credit:

Each Fund, together with certain other Hartford Funds, participates in a $350 million 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. This commitment fee is allocated to all the funds participating in the line of credit based on the average net assets of the funds. During the year ended December 31, 2015, none of the Funds had borrowings under this facility.

 

12. Fund Merger:

Reorganization of Hartford Global Research HLS Fund into Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund: At a meeting held on February 5, 2014, the Board of Directors of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the acquisition of all the assets and liabilities of Hartford Global Research HLS Fund (“Target Fund”) by Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund (“Acquiring Fund”).

Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund were acquired by the Acquiring Fund immediately before the opening of business on June 23, 2014. The Acquiring Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund in exchange for shares in the Acquiring Fund, which were distributed pro rata by the Target Fund to shareholders, in complete liquidation of the Target Fund.

The Acquiring Fund did not acquire any capital loss carryforwards from the Target Fund.

This merger was accomplished by tax free exchange, as detailed below:

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, were as follows:

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statement of Operations since the merger date.

Reorganization of Hartford Growth HLS Fund into Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund: At a meeting held on February 5, 2014, the Board of Directors of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford Series Fund II, Inc. approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the acquisition of all the assets and liabilities of Hartford Growth HLS Fund (“Target Fund”) by Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund (“Acquiring Fund”).

13. Pending Legal Proceedings:

On February 25, 2011, Jennifer L. Kasilag, Louis Mellinger, Judith M. Menendez, Jacqueline M. Robinson, and Linda A. Russell filed a derivative lawsuit against Hartford Investment Financial Services, LLC (“HIFSCO”) (now known as Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC) on behalf of six Hartford retail mutual funds in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that HIFSCO received excessive advisory and distribution fees in violation of its statutory fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act when serving as investment manager and principal underwriter, respectively, to the Hartford retail mutual funds. Although this action was purportedly filed on behalf of certain of the Hartford Funds, none of the Hartford Funds is itself a defendant to the suit. HIFSCO moved to dismiss and, in September 2011, the motion was granted in part and denied in part, with leave to amend the complaint. In November 2011, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on behalf of certain Hartford retail mutual funds, The Hartford Global Health Fund (now known as The Hartford Healthcare Fund), The Hartford Conservative Allocation Fund, The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund, The Hartford Inflation Plus Fund, The Hartford Advisers Fund (now known as The Hartford Balanced Fund), and The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund. Plaintiffs seek to rescind the investment management agreements and distribution plans between HIFSCO and these funds and to recover the total fees charged thereunder or, in the alternative, to recover any improper compensation HIFSCO received, in addition to lost earnings. HIFSCO filed a partial motion to dismiss the amended complaint and, in December 2012, the court dismissed without prejudice the claims regarding distribution fees and denied the motion with respect to the advisory fees claims. In March 2014, the plaintiffs filed a new complaint that added as new plaintiffs The Hartford Floating Rate Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund and named as a defendant HFMC, which assumed the role as investment manager to the funds as of January 2013. In March 2015, the plaintiffs filed a new complaint that removed The Hartford Small Company Fund as a plaintiff. HFMC and HIFSCO dispute the allegations and have filed a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff has filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

No accrual for litigation relating to this matter has been recorded in the financial statements of the Funds because the Funds are not party to the suit.

 

14. Reverse Stock Split:

On October 21, 2013 for the Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund, a reverse stock split was declared for the Class IA and Class IB shares at a ten to one ratio. The effect of the reverse stock split was to divide the number of outstanding shares by the reverse split factor, with a corresponding increase in the net asset value per share. The split was executed at the closing rounded NAV as of the prior business day. This transaction did not change the net assets of the Fund and the total value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund did not change as a result of the reverse stock split. Data presented in the Financial Highlights has been adjusted retroactively to account for the reverse stock split.

16. Subsequent Event:

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, events and transactions subsequent to December 31, 2015, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. No subsequent events requiring financial statement adjustment or disclosure have been identified.

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 Series Fund, Inc. (comprising, respectively, Hartford Balanced HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Global Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Healthcare HLS Fund, Hartford High Yield HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap Value HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund, and Hartford Value HLS Fund) and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. (comprising, respectively, Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford Small/Mid Cap Equity HLS Fund, Hartford SmallCap Growth HLS Fund, and Hartford U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund) (collectively, together with Hartford Series Fund, Inc., the “Companies”), as of December 31, 2015, 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 periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Companies’ 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 audits 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 Companies’ 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 Companies’ 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, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others 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 respective series constituting Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. at December 31, 2015, 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 indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 (the “Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At its meeting held on August 4-5, 2015, the Boards of Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. (“HLS”) and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. (“HLS II”), including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the continuation of the investment management agreement (the “Management Agreements”) between each of HLS and HLS II, on behalf of each of their respective series covered by this Report (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) and the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreement between HFMC and each Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”) (collectively, the “Agreements”).

In the months preceding the August 4-5, 2015 meeting, the Board requested 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 considered such additional information as it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements applicable to each Fund, which included information furnished to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the annual approval of the Agreements at the Board’s meetings held on June 16-17, 2015 and August 4-5, 2015. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal and compliance matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Board also received in-person presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC at the Board’s meetings on June 16-17, 2015 and August 4-5, 2015 concerning the Agreements.

The Independent Directors, advised by independent legal counsel, engaged 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 contractual management fees, actual management fees, other non-management fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance compared to those of comparable mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating the Funds’ respective management fees, sub-advisory fees, other non-management fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance. In addition, the Consultant reviewed the profitability calculations utilized by HFMC in connection with the continuation of the investment management agreement.

In determining whether to continue the Agreements for a Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant in light of the information that the Board deemed necessary and appropriate through the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to continue

 

 

  268  

 


Hartford HLS Funds

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)

 

 

 

the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the continuation of the Agreements. A more detailed discussion of the factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the Agreements is provided below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisers

The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements and the range of services provided by the Advisers. The Board considered the Advisers’ professional personnel who provide services to the Funds, including each Adviser’s ability and experience in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to service the Funds. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as its willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to enhance services to the Hartford Funds. In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board and responsiveness to Board inquiries and requests made from time to time with respect to the Funds and other Hartford Funds.

The Board requested and evaluated information concerning each Adviser’s regulatory and compliance environment. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information about 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. The Board also noted the Advisers’ support of the Funds’ compliance control structure, as applicable, and, in particular, the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.

With respect to HFMC, the Board noted that, under the Management Agreements, HFMC is responsible for the management of the Funds, including oversight of fund operations and service providers, as well as investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Sub-adviser. The Board considered HFMC’s ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance, including its quarterly reviews of each of the Hartford Funds, semi-annual meetings with the leaders of each Fund’s portfolio management team, and oversight of the Funds’ approximately 39 portfolio managers. The Board recognized that HFMC has demonstrated a record of making changes to the management and/or strategies of the Hartford Funds when warranted. The Board considered HFMC’s oversight of the Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades by the Sub-adviser, and approach to risk management with respect to the Funds and the service providers to the Funds. The Board also considered HFMC’s oversight of compliance with each Fund’s objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations, noting that regulatory and other developments had over time led to an increase in the scope of HFMC’s services in this regard.

In addition, the Board considered HFMC’s ongoing commitment to review and rationalize the Hartford Funds product line-up and the expenses that HFMC had incurred in connection with fund combinations in recent years. The Board considered that HFMC or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Funds’ officers. The Board also noted that Hartford Life Insurance Company (“HLIC”) provides administrative services to the Funds. The Board considered its experiences with HFMC and HLIC with respect to each of these services.

With respect to the Sub-adviser, which provides certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds, the Board considered the quality of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the Sub-adviser’s other investment personnel, its investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience. The Board considered the experience of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the number of accounts managed by the portfolio manager(s), and the Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio manager(s).

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by HFMC and the Sub-adviser.

Performance of each Fund and the Advisers

The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In this regard, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated HFMC’s analysis of the Fund’s performance for these time periods. The Board considered information and materials provided to the Board by the Advisers concerning Fund performance, as well as information from Lipper comparing the investment performance of each Fund to an appropriate benchmark and universe of peer funds. For detail regarding each Fund’s performance, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.

The Board considered the detailed investment analytics reports provided by HFMC’s Investment Advisory Group throughout the year. These reports include, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance relative to an

 

 

  269  

 


Hartford HLS Funds

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)

 

 

 

appropriate benchmark and peer group, various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, and a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance. The Board considered the Advisers’ cooperation with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of each Fund at periodic meetings throughout the year. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.

In light of all the considerations noted above, the Board concluded that it had continued confidence in HFMC’s and the Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Funds.

Costs of the Services and Profitability of the Advisers

The Board reviewed information regarding HFMC’s cost to provide investment management and related services to each Fund and HFMC’s 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 HFMC and its affiliates from all services provided to each Fund and all aspects of their relationship with the Fund. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-adviser.

The Board considered the Consultant’s review of the profitability calculations used by HFMC in connection with the continuation of the investment management agreement, noting the Consultant’s view that HFMC’s process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is reasonable. In this regard, the Board noted that the Consultant had previously performed a full review of this process and reported that such process is sound and well within common industry practice.

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 Services Provided by the Advisers

The Board considered comparative information with respect to the management fees to be paid by each Fund to HFMC and the total expense ratios of the Fund. The Board also considered comparative information with respect to the sub-advisory fees to be paid by HFMC to the Sub-adviser with respect to each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HFMC and the Sub-adviser relating to the management and sub-advisory fees, including the sub-advisory fee schedule for each Fund, and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board considered that the management fee for each Fund includes the fee paid to HLIC for providing certain administrative services to the Fund. With respect to each Fund’s sub-advisory fee schedule, the Board considered representations from HFMC and the Sub-adviser that the Sub-adviser’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board also reviewed information from Lipper comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees and overall expense ratios relative to a group of funds selected by Lipper, in consultation with the Consultant, and a broader universe of funds selected by Lipper. For detail regarding each Fund’s expenses, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.

While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Fund and peer funds may be imprecise, given the different 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 management and sub-advisory fees and total operating expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s management and sub-advisory fees and total operating expenses.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses, taking into account the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters discussed, were reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale

The Board requested and considered information regarding the Advisers’ realization of economies of scale with respect to each Fund and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the management fee schedule for each Fund, if any, which reduce fee rates as the Fund’s assets grow over time. The Board recognized that a fund with assets beyond the highest breakpoint level will 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 also recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. The Board noted the effect of the run-off of the variable annuity business on the HLS Funds and also noted that the Hartford Small/Mid Cap Equity HLS Fund’s current low asset levels have kept the Fund from fully realizing the benefits of anticipated or potential economies of scale.

The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Lipper and the Consultant showing how management fee schedules of peer funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders as a peer fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HFMC, 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 shareholders based on currently available information and the effective advisory fees and expense ratios for the Fund at its current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor future growth in each Fund’s 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 each Fund in supporting the variable life insurance and variable annuity products offered by The Hartford.

The Board noted that HLIC, an affiliate of HFMC, receives fees for providing certain administrative services to the Funds and that HFMC receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Funds. The Board considered information on profits to HLIC and HFMC for such services. The Board also considered that Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), the Funds’ transfer agent and an affiliate of HFMC, receives transfer agency compensation from the Funds, and the Board reviewed information about the profitability of the Funds’ transfer agency function to HASCO. The Board considered information provided by HASCO in support of HASCO’s assertion that the transfer agent fees charged by HASCO to the Funds were fair and reasonable based on publicly available information. The Board also noted that HFMC and HASCO had delegated certain fund accounting services and transfer agency services, respectively, to external service providers.

The Board also considered that Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (“HFD”), an affiliate of HFMC, serves as principal underwriter of the Funds. As principal underwriter, HFD receives 12b-1 fees from the Funds. The Board also noted that HFD pays 12b-1 fees to affiliated insurance companies that include the Funds as investment options under their variable contracts.

The Board considered the benefits, if any, to the Sub-adviser from any use of a Fund’s brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research, and representations from HFMC and the Sub-adviser that the Sub-adviser will not make any revenue-sharing payments or any other type of distribution payments to HFMC or its affiliates.

The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the Hartford Funds family of funds. The Board considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the fund family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes.

Active Trading Risk: (Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Global Growth HLS Fund, Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, High Yield HLS Fund, International Opportunities HLS Fund, Small Company HLS Fund, Small/Mid Cap Equity HLS Fund, SmallCap Growth HLS Fund, Total Return Bond HLS Fund and U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund) Active trading could increase a Fund’s transaction costs.

Asset Allocation Strategy Risk: (Balanced HLS Fund and Capital Appreciation HLS Fund) The portfolio managers’ asset allocation strategy may not always work as intended.

Derivatives Risk: (High Yield HLS Fund, Total Return Bond HLS Fund, U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund and Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund) Derivatives may be riskier or more volatile than other types of investments because they are generally more sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions; risks include currency risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, index risk, pricing risk, and counterparty risk.

Dividend Paying Security Risk: (Dividend and Growth HLS Fund) For dividend-paying stocks, dividends are not guaranteed and may increase or decrease without notice.

Fixed Income Risk: (Balanced HLS Fund, High Yield HLS Fund, Total Return Bond HLS Fund, U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund and Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund) Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.

Foreign Investment Risk: (Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, High Yield HLS Fund, MidCap HLS Fund, MidCap Value HLS Fund, Small Company HLS Fund, Small/Mid Cap Equity HLS Fund, SmallCap Growth HLS Fund, Stock HLS Fund and Value HLS Fund) Foreign investments can be riskier than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as specific country, regional, and economic developments.

Foreign Investment and Emerging Markets Risk: (Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Global Growth HLS Fund, Healthcare HLS Fund, International Opportunities HLS Fund and Total Return Bond HLS Fund) Foreign investments can be riskier than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as specific country, regional, and economic developments. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets.

Growth Investing Risk: (Global Growth HLS Fund, Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, Small Company HLS Fund and SmallCap Growth HLS Fund) A Fund’s growth-investing style may become out of favor, which may result in periods of underperformance.

Health Sector Risk: (Healthcare HLS Fund) Risks of focusing investments on the health care sector include regulatory and legal developments, patent considerations, intense competitive pressures, rapid technological changes and potential product obsolescence, and liquidity risk.

Junk Bond Risk: (High Yield HLS Fund) Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher rated debt securities.

Market, Selection and Strategy Risk: (All Funds) A Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. There is no guarantee a Fund will achieve its stated objective. With respect to the Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Small Company HLS Fund, and SmallCap Growth HLS Fund, the investment styles employed by the portfolio managers may not be complementary, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.

Mid-Cap Stock Risk: (Global Growth HLS Fund, Growth Opportunities HLS Fund, International Opportunities HLS Fund, MidCap HLS Fund and MidCap Value HLS Fund) Mid-cap stocks can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap stocks.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk: (Balanced HLS Fund, Total Return Bond HLS Fund, U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund and Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund) Mortgage-backed securities are subject to credit risk, interest-rate risk, prepayment risk, and extension risk.

Quantitative Analysis Risk: (Disciplined Equity HLS Fund and Small/Mid Cap Equity HLS Fund) Securities selected by using quantitative analysis may perform differently from the broader stock market.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Dollar Rolls Risk: (Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund) The Fund may use dollar rolls and repurchase agreements, which can increase risk and volatility.

To Be Announced (TBA) Securities Risk: (Total Return Bond HLS Fund and U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund) A Fund may buy securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market, which can subject the Fund to additional price and counterparty risk.

U.S. Government Securities Risk: (Balanced HLS Fund, Total Return Bond HLS Fund, U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund and Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund) Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

  (e) (1) The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of the Registrant (also, the “Fund”) sets forth the procedures pursuant to which services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant may be pre-approved. The following are some main provisions from the Policy.

 

  1. The Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit services and non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm provides to the Fund.

 

  2. The Audit Committee must pre-approve any engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide non-audit services to any Service Affiliate (which is defined to include any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund) during the period of the independent registered public accounting firm’s engagement to provide audit services to the Fund, if the non-audit services to the Service Affiliate directly impact the Fund’s operations and financial reporting.

 

  3. The Audit Committee shall pre-approve certain non-audit services to the Fund and its Service Affiliates pursuant to procedures set forth in the Policy.

 

  4. The Audit Committee, from time to time, may designate one or more of its members who are Independent Directors (each a “Designated Member”) to consider, on the Audit Committee’s behalf, any non-audit services, whether to the Fund or to any Service Affiliate, that have not been pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Designated Member also shall review, on the Audit Committee’s behalf, any proposed material change in the nature or extent of any non-audit services previously approved. In considering any requested non-audit services or proposed material change in such services, the Designated Member shall not authorize services which would exceed $50,000 in fees for such services.

 

  5. The independent registered public accounting firm may not provide specified prohibited non-audit services set forth in the Policy to the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser, the Service Affiliates or any other member of the investment company complex.

 

  (e) (2) One hundred percent of the services described in items 4(b) through 4(d) were approved in accordance with the Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy. As a result, none of such services was approved pursuant to paragraph (c) (7) (i) (c) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.


  (f) Less than 50% of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

 

  (g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant were:

$1,433,983 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014; $1,862,111 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

  (h) The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
