Script for Calls on Hartford Funds Proxy Statement

 

I am reaching out to you today because your branch has been a producer of The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund.  Thank you for your business and support of Hartford Funds.

 

Talking Points:

 

·                     Shareholders of The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund received a proxy statement/prospectus that provides details of the proposed reorganization into The Hartford Municipal Opportunities Fund

·                     In an effort to get ahead of client inquiries, we wanted to provide you with this information

·                     Some clients may have already voted in the proxy

 

If asked what the proxy is asking clients to vote on:

 

·                     Approval of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for (i) the transfer of all of the assets of The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) to The Hartford Municipal Opportunities Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund that have an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund on the valuation date for the reorganization; (ii) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; and (iii) the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund.

 

This presents an opportunity for your clients to voice their opinions and here are the ways for them to cast their vote:

 

·                  Online by visiting www.proxyvote.com and they can enter the 12 digit control number that appeared in their packet

·                 By Phone 1-877-690-6903 if a registered shareholder
