Under the heading “Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund Summary Section – Past Performance – Average Annual Total Returns,” the sub-section entitled “Average Annual Total Returns” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Average Annual Total Returns.

The table below shows returns for the Fund over time compared to those of three broad-based market indices. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes and are shown only for Class A shares. After-tax returns will vary for other classes. Actual after-tax returns, which depend on an investor’s particular tax situation, may differ from those shown and are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. For more information regarding returns, see the “Performance Notes” section in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Average annual total returns for periods ending December 31, 2017 (including sales charges)

Effective July 31, 2018, the Fund changed its benchmark, the 3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR, to the ICE BofAML US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, due to the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority's plan to phase out the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In addition, the Fund added Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate 1-3 Year USD Hedged Index as a secondary benchmark, effective as of the same date. The 3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR reflects the returns of the ICE BofAML US Dollar 3-Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity.
