A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Thank you for investing in Hartford Funds. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report, covering the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017.

Market Review

During the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, U.S. stocks, as measured by the

 

S&P 500 Index,1 kept an upward trajectory. During this period, the S&P 500 Index generated a 23.6% total return, hitting another record high in late October.

The primary drivers of market progress during the period were slow, yet steady growth, positive corporate earnings, and positive job reports. These market conditions have served as the basis of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest-rate hike cycle that began in December 2015 and continued through June 2017, when short-term rates rose by 0.25% to a range of 1% to 1.25%. At the time of this writing, consensus expectations were for a continued gradual increase in interest rates throughout 2018, which should help markets better digest and account for such changes.

Going forward, politics both at home and abroad are likely to continue playing a key role in driving market movements. Congress has approved a budget resolution for the new fiscal year and pushed back the deadline to lift the debt ceiling in an effort to tie federal funding for disaster relief to the bills following three major hurricanes. Uncertainty surrounding healthcare and tax reform remain. Additionally, concerns about possible nuclear action from North Korea may be contributing to market uncertainty.

In Europe, while Macron’s victory in France was viewed as market-friendly, uncertainty remains, for example, with respect to Britain’s “Brexit” undertaking to leave the European Union, which could influence markets or cause an uptick in volatility.

We encourage you to maintain a strong relationship with your financial advisor, who can help guide you through shifting markets confidently. He or she can help you proactively build a portfolio that takes market uncertainty into account, along with your unique investment goals and risk tolerances. Your advisor can help you find a fit within our family of funds as you work toward those goals.

Thank you again for investing in Hartford Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our funds, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund returned 21.86%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 23.98% and 23.63%, respectively, for the same period. The Fund underperformed the 21.99% average return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton,

equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S. economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015. In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter. The Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated. U.S. equities continued to climb in July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and an encouraging employment data release. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August after five consecutive months of downside surprises, providing a degree of relief and increasing the market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization

program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

All eleven sectors in the Russell 3000 Index posted positive returns during the period. Strong performers included the Information Technology (+38%), Financials (+36%), and Materials (+30%) sectors, while the Telecommunication Services (0%), Energy (+2%) and Consumer Staples (+3%) sectors lagged on a relative basis.

The Fund underperformed the Russell 3000 Index primarily due to weak stock selection within the Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials sectors. Stock selection within the Information Technology and Materials sectors contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns during the period. Sector allocation, a result of bottom-up stock selection, contributed positively to benchmark-relative results, primarily driven by the Fund’s underweight to Utilities and overweight to Information Technology. This was slightly offset by the Fund’s overweight to Consumer Discretionary, which detracted from performance.

Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index included Apple (Information Technology), Uber (Information Technology), and Viacom (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Apple, a U.S.-based mobile device and personal computer manufacturer, rose over the period as the company raised its dividends and saw strong demand for its iPhone 7 throughout the year. Not holding the stock detracted from relative performance. Uber, a U.S.-based transportation Technology company, also detracted from performance for the period. The fair valuation of private placement Uber fell during the period as a result of several well publicized negative events and the ultimate departure of its CEO. The stock price of Viacom, a U.S.-based media conglomerate, fell over the period due to concerns over a drop in advertisement budgets from the automobile and Technology sectors. DexCom (Healthcare) and Advance Auto Parts (Consumer Discretionary) detracted from performance on an absolute basis over the period.

General Electric (Industrials), Alibaba (Information Technology), and Mobileye (Information Technology) contributed positively to relative returns over the period. The share price of General Electric, a U.S.-based digital industrial company, fell over the period as it announced quarterly results that fell short of market expectations due to continued weak demand in the company’s oil and gas, transportation, and lighting businesses. Not owning the stock contributed positively

to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index. Shares of Alibaba, a Chinese-based company focused on online and mobile commerce, rose over the period as the company reported financial results that exceeded expectations, particularly in the third quarter of 2017. Mobileye, an Israeli company that makes advanced driver assistance systems for automobiles, saw its stock price rise after it agreed to be acquired by Intel at a price premium. Bristol-Myers Squibb (Healthcare) and JP Morgan Chase (Financials) were top contributors to absolute returns over the period.

During the period, the Fund, at times, used currency forwards to hedge currency risk. During the period, the use of currency forwards did not have a significant impact on performance.

What is the outlook?

As the U.S. continues to trend toward later stages of the economic cycle, we believe stable growth is driving market gains. Corporate fundamentals, including earnings momentum, remain strong. A number of drivers are creating positive sentiment including continued low inflation, market stability, higher profit margins and the potential for tax reform and increased rates. Conversely, ongoing geopolitical concerns (North Korea), Fed leadership uncertainty and a sustained low volatility environment are helping to offset positive sentiment. From a factor perspective, we favor value in the U.S. on a relative basis. We are also cautious on traditional growth strategies following the sustained and narrow market leadership of technology “FANG” (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet (Google)) equities in the U.S. Low volatility equities appear expensive, having begun a resurgence late in the second quarter of 2017, but without a clear and immediate catalyst for reversion, these equities remain a good way to reduce risk when overweight value and growth strategies in our view. As the importance of the individual factors that have historically driven returns diminishes, we believe factor breadth (the number of factors needed to explain at least 60% of variance) has continued to increase. At the stock level, the number of equities outperforming the market by more than 25% on a rolling twelve-month basis (a measure of broader market breadth) has come off of its lows, but remains narrow. Together, this suggests an improving environment for fundamental stock pickers.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to Information Technology and Financials, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to Energy and Consumer Staples, relative to the Russell 3000 Index.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes and/or portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Core Equity Fund returned 21.06%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 23.63% for the same period.

equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Ten out of eleven sectors in the S&P 500 Index rose during the period, with Information Technology (+39%), Financials (+37%), and Materials (+29%) performing the best. Telecommunication Services (-1%) lagged on a relative basis during the period.

Overall, underperformance relative to the S&P 500 Index was driven by weak security selection, primarily within the Healthcare, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. This was partially offset by positive stock selection within the Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom up stock selection process, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance during the period, in part due to the Fund’s underweights to the Energy, Real Estate, and Telecommunication Services sectors. This was partially offset by the Fund’s overweight to Consumer Staples.

The top detractors from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index included Equifax (Industrials), Molson Coors Brewing (Consumer Staples), and Allergan (Healthcare). Shares of Equifax, a U.S.-based consumer credit reporting company, declined following the announcement of a major breach of consumer information and increasing concerns regarding management’s response. Shares of Molson Coors Brewing, a U.S.-based beer company, declined as synergies from the MillerCoors deal have been lower than anticipated. We exited the position during the period. Shares of Allergan, a global pharmaceutical company, declined during the period due to increased investor concerns over competitive pressures for some key products. Top absolute detractors for the period included QUALCOMM (Information Technology) and Kroger (Consumer Staples).

The top contributors to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index were General Electric (Industrials), Bank of America (Financials), and PNC Financial (Financials). Not owning General Electric, a U.S.-based multinational conglomerate operating in the Technology infrastructure, capital finance, and consumer and industrial products industries, was beneficial to relative performance during the period as 4th quarter 2016 revenues fell short of consensus expectations. Shares of Bank of America and PNC Financial, both U.S.-based diversified Financial Services companies, rose due to expectations of rising interest rates, lower taxes, and relief from regulatory pressures that may prove to be a secular tailwind for the U.S. banking industry. Top absolute contributors included Apple (Information Technology) and JPMorgan Chase & Co (Financials).

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 the global reflation theme (rising nominal growth, wages and inflation) has likely been delayed, we believe the U.S. economy appears healthy and is growing. Consumer spending is steady and investment spending appears to have picked up. Solid job growth and consumer confidence readings at multi-year highs suggest that consumer spending should be in good shape in the near term. The market is likely to remain focused on changes to the Fed’s bond buying program and its impact on interest rates. We would not be surprised by a pick-up in volatility from very low levels with the increased supply of bonds. With tight labor markets, we continue to expect the Fed to remain on the slow path to interest rate normalization. On legislative policy, both the White House and Congress are now focused on taxes. The initial tax blueprint, if enacted, would likely provide stimulus to both consumers and corporations. The magnitude of the stimulus from these initiatives will depend on the appetite for lawmakers to absorb the increases to the deficit.

Overall, we continue to find what we consider to be attractively valued equities 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 the Fund’s holdings. We remain consistent in adhering to the Fund’s disciplined portfolio construction process that we believe allows us to assess risk, weight individual positions accordingly, and in the process build a Fund that focuses largely on stock selection in seeking to outperform the S&P 500 Index.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweight sectors relative to the S&P 500 Index were to Utilities and Healthcare, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to Energy and Real Estate sectors.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”).

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund returned 22.40%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming one of the Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 23.63% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Fund’s other benchmark, which returned 17.78% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 17.60% average return of the Lipper Equity Income Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton, equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal

stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S. economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015. In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter. The Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated. U.S. equities continued to climb in July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and an encouraging employment data release. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August after five consecutive months of downside surprises, providing a degree of relief and increasing the market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to

repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Ten out of eleven sectors in the S&P 500 Index rose during the period, with Information Technology (+39%), Financials (+37%), and Materials (+29%) performing the best. Telecommunication services (-1%) lagged on a relative basis during the period.

Stock selection, particularly within the Healthcare, Information Technology, and Financials sectors, detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. This was partially offset by stronger selection within the Industrials, Energy, and Materials sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom up stock selection process, contributed positively to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index, due to an overweight to Financials and an underweight to Consumer Staples. This was offset by an underweight to Information Technology and overweight to Energy which detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index.

The Fund’s top detractors from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index included Merck (Healthcare), NVIDIA (Information Technology), and Hess (Energy). Shares of Merck, a U.S.-based global pharmaceutical company, fell during the period as investors seemed concerned about competitive pressure on its marketed treatments including Januvia and Zepatier. Not owning benchmark constituent NVIDIA, a U.S.-based graphics chip producer, detracted from benchmark-relative performance as the company reported strong revenue and earnings results for the second quarter and provided guidance well above consensus expectations, driven by gaming chip and cryptocurrency-related demand. Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that uses cryptography for security. The stock price of Hess, a U.S.-based integrated oil company, fell due to concerns about the long-term outlook for oil and gas prices due to oversupply and rising inventories. L Brands (Consumer Discretionary) and Walgreens (Consumer Staples) were among the top absolute detractors during the period.

The Fund’s top contributors to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period were General Electric (Industrials), CSX Corporation (Industrials), and Bank of America (Financials). Not holding benchmark constituent General Electric, a U.S.-based multinational conglomerate operating in the technology, infrastructure, capital finance, and consumer and industrial products industries, for the majority of the period contributed positively after its stock price fell on disappointing fourth-quarter earnings and several

executive leadership changes. Shares of CSX, a U.S.-based leading transportation supplier, received a huge boost from the market upon rumors of and ultimately hiring a new CEO with a strong track record of successful turnarounds. The Fund’s position was eliminated after CSX’s stock price rose early in the summer. Bank of America, a U.S.-based global banking and financial services company, saw its share price rise as expectations of rising interest rates, lower taxes, and relief from regulatory pressures proved to be a secular tailwind for the U.S. banking industry. Top absolute performers during the period included JP Morgan Chase (Financials) and Microsoft (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?

Looking ahead, we believe the moderate pace of economic growth will continue. We expect Congress to enact some measure of fiscal stimulus before year end but recognize the timeline is getting tight.

Growth oriented equities, particularly in the Technology sector, have led the market in 2017. We believe many of these equities have reached valuation levels that provide little downside protection and as a result are not viewed as attractive for this Fund. We are finding attractive ideas in our view in parts of Healthcare, Technology, Energy and Financials sectors where it seems the market is assuming cyclical issues are more long term in nature.

As stock prices rise, we believe our value tilt and focus on dividends, which has been challenging to performance on a year to date basis, should be helpful when market volatility increases. We continue to believe that the Financials and Energy sectors in particular offer the most compelling combination of fundamental strength and attractive valuation.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the S&P 500 Index were to the Financials, Energy, and Utilities sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors.

We continue to rely on our process and philosophy as we construct the Fund. We remain focused on the significance of dividends, positive capital stewardship, and franchise value.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Equity Income Fund returned 20.51%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 17.78% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 17.60% average return of the Lipper Equity Income Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter. The Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated. U.S. equities continued to climb in July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and an encouraging employment data release. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August after five consecutive months of downside surprises, providing a degree of relief and increasing the market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

During the period ten out of eleven sectors within the Russell 1000 Value Index posted positive absolute returns, with Financials (+37%), Materials (+31%), and Information Technology (+27%) performing the best. Telecommunication services (-3%) lagged during the period.

Outperformance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index was driven by security selection, primarily within the Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary sectors. This more than offset weaker stock selection within Financials and Healthcare. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, also contributed positively during the period primarily due to underweights to the Real Estate and Energy sectors. This was partially offset by an underweight to Utilities, which detracted from performance.

Top contributors to returns relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index included PNC Financial Services (Financials), Unilever (Consumer Staples), and Microsoft (Information Technology). The stock price of PNC Financial Services, a U.S.-based Financial Services company, rose as management focused on deepening customer relationships to try to drive fee growth. The shares of Unilever, a Netherlands-based global consumer products company, rose following management’s announcement of a comprehensive review of its business to accelerate shareholder value in the wake of the rejected bid from Kraft Heinz. Shares of Microsoft, a U.S.-based global leader of the development, licensing, and support of a range of software products and services, rose over the period after continued stable performance in Office and Windows, accelerating growth in Azure, and improving commercial cloud profit margins. Top absolute contributors for the period included JP Morgan Chase (Financials) and Wells Fargo (Financials).

Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index during the period included Bank of America (Financials), Citigroup (Financials), and Berkshire Hathaway (Financials). Bank of America, a U.S.-based global banking and financial services company, saw its share price rise as expectations of rising interest rates, lower taxes, and relief from regulatory pressures proved to be a secular tailwind for the U.S. banking industry. Not holding this stock detracted from relative performance. Not owning benchmark constituent Citigroup, a U.S.-based financial services company, detracted from benchmark-relative performance as the stock price rose as Citi has streamlined its business and built up excess capital. The stock price of Berkshire Hathaway, a U.S.-based multinational conglomerate holding company, rose as its business is diversified across sectors leading to a strong balance sheet giving it a significant

competitive advantage. Not holding this stock detracted from relative performance. A top detractor from absolute performance was General Electric (Industrials).

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 global recovery appears on track with synchronized growth in the U.S., Europe, and Asia and broad-based cyclical momentum in emerging market economies. Recent U.S. dollar weakness has benefited global economic activity, but may redistribute growth across the regions. In particular, industries in the U.S. and emerging markets are being helped, while foreign exchange (FX) moves are weighing on European industrial activity at the same time. We believe that tightening by the Fed and China is unlikely to derail the global recovery, but some loss in global growth momentum is to be expected in coming months.

In the U.S., proposed tax cuts would likely help investment spending and add to growth in the domestic economy. The pace of economic expansion has been fairly modest thus far, for growth as well as inflation. Consumer spending has been solid throughout the recovery, and if President Trump’s tax plans are achieved in fiscal 2018, we should see increased economic activity in our view. Optimism over the announced tax outline contributed to the U.S. market’s positive move late in the third quarter of 2017.

Recent hurricane activity caused meaningful damage in parts of Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. There are short- and long-term investment implications we need to continue to evaluate across many industries, including oil refining, insurance, construction, and materials. These storms have created near-term noise in domestic economic data, but we expect a normalization in the coming weeks and months.

Information Technology, Energy, and Industrials represented the Fund’s largest sector overweights relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index, while the Real Estate, Consumer Discretionary, and Telecommunication Services sectors were the Fund’s largest underweights at the end of the reporting period.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. For dividend-paying stocks, dividends are not guaranteed and may decrease without notice. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). Value investing may go out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund returned 27.40%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Growth Index and the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 29.80% and 29.71%, respectively, for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 26.88% average return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton, equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S.

economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015. In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter. The Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated. U.S. equities continued to climb in July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and an encouraging employment data release. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August after five consecutive months of downside surprises, providing a degree of relief and increasing the market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Ten of the eleven sectors in the Russell 3000 Growth Index rose during the period. The Information Technology (+41%), Financials (+37%), and Industrials (+32%) sectors posted the strongest gains during the period, while Energy (-7%) fell.

Security selection detracted from performance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period, with weak selection in Financials, Industrials, and Healthcare sectors, partially offset by stronger selection within Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the Fund’s bottom-up stock selection process, contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance during the period, due to an underweight to Consumer Staples and an overweight to Information Technology. This was partially offset by the negative impact of an overweight to Energy.

Top detractors from relative performance during the period included Apple (Information Technology), Uber (Information Technology), and Dexcom (Healthcare). Shares of Apple, a U.S.-based manufacturer of mobile devices and distributor of digital content, rose during the period as the stock outperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index based on rising expectations for the iPhone 8 release and a more favorable political backdrop for U.S. based global technology companies. Apple’s fundamentals remained strong during the period, but we are finding more compelling growth opportunities elsewhere in the market. Not owning a position in the benchmark constituent for most of the period detracted from benchmark-relative performance. Uber, a U.S.-based transportation technology company, also detracted from benchmark-relative performance for the period. The fair valuation of private placement Uber fell during the period as a result of several well publicized negative events and the ultimate departure of its CEO. Shares of Dexcom, a U.S.-based medical device company, suffered due to competition concerns, after the FDA approved Abbott Laboratories’ glucose monitoring device, the first of its kind to not require a finger-stick blood sample, where Dexcom’s device requires two finger-sticks per day. Ulta Beauty (Consumer Discretionary) was a top absolute detractor during the period.

Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period included Arista Networks (Information Technology), Align Technology (Healthcare), and Trade Desk (Information Technology). The stock price of Arista Networks, a U.S.-based supplier of cloud-networking switches and other services, delivered a strong, above-consensus year-end 2016 earnings report that cited strong customer demand and consistent execution. Shares of Align, a U.S.-based medical device company, rose during the period, as the company reported strong earnings beating consensus

on both revenue and earnings driven by increased growth in its Invisalign product. Shares of Trade Desk, a U.S.-based real-time bidding platform for advertising spending, rose as the company consistently outperformed market expectations as ad buyers flocked to its data-driven platform to purchase advertising across various outlets. Facebook (Information Technology) was a top absolute contributor 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?

We continue to be optimistic on the prospects for U.S. growth and are finding, in our view, opportunities that display accelerating earnings across various sectors of the market. Increased consumer confidence, strengthening global economies, and optimism surrounding a tax bill in the U.S. all are positive signs for us that growth will continue.

We are still finding a breadth of opportunities across sectors in our view. Fundamentals have been strong and company management teams we have met with have expressed optimism around the market outlook for the foreseeable future.

Toward the end of the period, we added the most to the Fund’s Information Technology exposure, and decreased the Fund’s exposure to Financials and Industrials. As of the end of the period, Information Technology continued to be the Fund’s largest absolute sector weight.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index were to Information Technology, Financials, and Healthcare sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). Mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund’s focus on investments in particular sectors may increase its volatility and risk of loss if there are adverse economic consequences in those sectors. Growth investing may go out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Healthcare Fund returned 24.28%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 23.33% and 23.63%, respectively, during the period. The Fund outperformed the 18.24% 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 equities (+22.6%) underperformed both the broader U.S. equity market (+23.6%) and the global equity market (+23.9%) during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 Healthcare, S&P 500, and the MSCI World Indices, respectively.

Within the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, all of the 5 sub-sectors posted positive absolute returns during the period. Healthcare services (+32%), medical technology (+31%), small cap

biopharma (+22%), large cap biopharma (+16%), and mid cap biopharma (+12%) rose during the period.

Security selection was the primary contributor to performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index during the period, while sub-sector allocation also contributed positively to relative returns. Security selection was strongest in mid-cap and small-cap biopharma names during the period, while selection in medical technology and large-cap biopharma detracted from performance. An underweight allocation to large-cap biopharma contributed positively to relative performance during the period, and was only partially offset by the negative impact of an overweight to mid-cap biopharma.

Loxo Oncology (biopharma), Merck (biopharma), and ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (biopharma) contributed positively to returns relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index. Loxo Oncology, a U.S. based oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company, rose after the company announced positive data for clinical trials involving their lead cancer drug, Larotrectinib. Shares of Merck, a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, declined during the period. Not owning this

benchmark constituent contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance over the period. Shares of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, rose during the period after Takeda Pharmaceuticals, a leading Japanese pharmaceutical company, announced that they would be acquiring the company. Following the acquisition, ARIAD’s drug, Iclusig, received approval for the treatment of two rare forms of leukemia. Top absolute contributors included UnitedHealth Group and Portola Pharmaceuticals.

AbbVie (biopharma), Allergan PLC (biopharma), and Alkermes PLC (biopharma) were the top detractors from benchmark-relative performance over the period. Not owning AbbVie, a research-based pharmaceutical company, detracted from returns relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index during the period the stock outperformed. Allergan PLC, a global pharmaceutical company, saw its stock price fall as the market focused on a court ruling against the company in a patent lawsuit in October 2017. Shares of Alkermes PLC, a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company, fell during the period on uncertainty surrounding a trial for their depression drug. Top absolute detractors included Envision Healthcare and Coherus Biosciences.

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?

Over the long term, we expect that innovation, an aging population, and the globalization of demand for cutting-edge Western-style health care should continue to drive growth of the sector.

The Healthcare sector has benefited broadly since the U.S. elections last November, but uncertainties remain. Regarding drug pricing, we continue to believe that meaningful structural reform is unlikely in the foreseeable future. We are mindful of the risks, however. Regarding efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), we continue to believe that most of the millions of Americans who obtained insurance coverage in the past few years will retain coverage, regardless of any adjustments that might be made. We are impressed so far with the efforts of new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, and believe that the tone he has set will favor innovative companies and programs.

We remain optimistic about the Healthcare sector. We believe biomedical innovation is as robust as it has ever been and may fuel a decade or more of strong earnings growth for the most successful biopharmaceutical companies. Evolving structures of health care markets globally should create clear performance separation between the best and the worst health care services companies in our view. As is our practice, we will aim to trim equities on strength and to add on weakness in order to seek to generate favorable returns and minimize risk.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Risks of focusing investments on the healthcare-related sector include regulatory and legal developments, patent considerations, intense competitive pressures, rapid technological changes, potential product obsolescence, and liquidity risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford MidCap Fund returned 29.02%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, which returned 23.48% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 26.20% average return of the Lipper MidCap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton, equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S. economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015. In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter.

The Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated. U.S. equities continued to climb in July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and an encouraging employment data release. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August after five consecutive months of downside surprises, providing a degree of relief and increasing the market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Within the S&P MidCap 400 Index, eight of the eleven sectors posted positive returns during the period. The Information Technology (+36%), Industrials (+34%), and Healthcare (+31%) sectors performed best while the Telecommunication Services (-27%), Energy (-11%), and Consumer Staples (-1%) sectors lagged.

The Fund outperformed the S&P MidCap 400 Index during the period primarily as a result of strong sector allocation, a result of the Fund’s bottom up stock selection process. This was primarily due to not holding any Real Estate equities and an overweight to the Information Technology sector. This was partially offset by an underweight to the Materials sector, which detracted from performance. Stock selection also contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns with strong selection within the Healthcare and Information Technology sectors. This was partially offset by negative stock selection in Industrials and Energy.

Top absolute and relative contributors to performance included ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Healthcare), NVR (Consumer Discretionary), and TransUnion (Industrials). Shares of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, a U.S.-based a biotechnology company focused on oncology, soared largely following the announcement that Takeda Pharmaceuticals would be acquiring ARIAD in a $5.2 billion all-cash deal. We exited our position following this announcement. Shares of NVR, a U.S.-based home builder, rose during the period after reporting solid earnings, driven by increased orders and benefiting from an improving housing market. Shares of TransUnion, a U.S.-based credit reporting company, outperformed during the period due to experiencing broad strength across verticals and geographies driven by new product and end markets for their data and analytic assets.

Top detractors from performance relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index included Akamai Technologies (Information Technology), Advance Auto Parts (Consumer Discretionary), and Harley Davidson (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Akamai Technologies, a U.S.-based internet content delivery company, declined during the period due to relatively poor performance from their media delivery business. Advance Auto Parts, a U.S.-based automotive parts supplier, underperformed during the period driven in part by disappointing operating results and same-store sales being negatively impacted by a mild winter. Shares of Harley Davidson, a U.S.-based motor cycle maker, underperformed as sales and shipments during the period deteriorated rapidly. A top absolute detractor for the period was TripAdvisor (Consumer Discretionary).

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 on a solid footing. A number of issues, including geopolitical tensions involving North Korea,

international trade, ongoing investigations, and gridlock in Washington may cause an increase in market volatility. At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight Information Technology, Healthcare, and Industrials sectors, and most underweight Real Estate, Consumer Discretionary, and Materials sectors relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). The Fund’s focus on investments in particular sectors may increase its volatility and risk of loss if there are adverse economic consequences in those sectors.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford MidCap Value Fund returned 19.67% for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming one of the Fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned 19.97%, and outperforming the Fund’s other benchmark, the Russell MidCap Value Index, which returned 17.12%, for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 21.30% average return of the Lipper MidCap Core Fund peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton, equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes.

In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. Eight of the eleven sectors in the Russell 2500 Value Index gained during the period, with Industrials (+32%), Information Technology (+31%), and Materials (+29%) sectors

performing the best, while Telecommunication Services (-25%), Energy (-8%), and Consumer Staples (-1%) sectors lagged during the period.

The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index over the twelve-month period was driven primarily by weaker security selection within the Healthcare, Industrials, and Utilities sectors, which was partially offset by stronger stock selection within the Financials, Telecommunication Services, and Materials sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, contributed positively to returns relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index, in part due to an underweight to the Real Estate sector and overweights to the Information Technology and Materials sectors. An underweight to the Financials sector and overweight to the Telecommunication Services sector detracted from returns relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index during the period.

Top absolute detractors and detractors relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index included Newfield Exploration (Energy), QEP Resources (Energy), and Envision Healthcare (Healthcare). Shares of Newfield Exploration, a U.S.-based oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) company, fell during the period despite improvements in operations as oil price uncertainty has weighed heavily on not only Newfield, but other E&P companies as well. Shares of QEP Resources, a U.S.-based natural gas supplier, fell as production was flat during the second quarter of 2017 and higher-margin oil output declined. We exited our position toward the end of the period. The stock price of Envision Healthcare, a U.S.-based medical holding company, slipped following a negative media report focused on out-of-network billing practices for emergency room care.

Top contributors to returns relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index included Comerica (Financials), Harris Corporation (Information Technology), and Westlake Chemicals (Materials). Comerica, a U.S.-based financial services company, rose over the period as a rebound in oil and gas prices also triggered a rebound in its stock; Comerica is a lender with a large concentration of oil and gas loans. Harris Corporation, a U.S.-based technology company, defense contractor, and information technology services provider, outperformed earnings estimates multiple times over the period. In addition, the company won a new defense contract with the U.S. Army and booked meaningful orders with Saudi Arabia for the company’s tactical radios. The stock rallied during the period as a result. Shares of U.S.-based international manufacturer and supplier of petrochemicals, polymers and fabricated building products, Westlake Chemicals, rose as operating rates in Westlake’s chlorine business hit a four year high earlier in 2017, demand in vinyl products increased, pricing improved as a result of improved industry dynamics and supply tightened over the period. The effects of Hurricane Harvey also proved to increase demand for Westlake’s products. Zions Bancorporation (Financials) and Reinsurance Group of America (Financials) were top absolute contributors 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?

Recent global economic momentum has been a bit stronger than we anticipated. The composite Institute of Supply Management (ISM) index in the U.S. has reached its highest level since 2004. Globally, the manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is at its highest level since 2011. Geopolitical events have thus far not damaged investor psychology, and there have been signals in Washington that have raised the odds for tax reform. While recent hurricanes could lead to volatility in near term economic data the economic backdrop may be reasonably supportive over the balance of the year and into 2018. At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest sector overweight allocations relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index were to Information Technology, Materials, and Industrials, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). The Fund’s focus on

investments in particular sectors may increase its volatility and risk of loss if there are adverse economic consequences in those sectors. Value investing may go out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market.

PERFORMANCE DATA QUOTED REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website www.hartfordfunds.com.

The initial investment in Class A shares reflects the maximum sales charge of 5.50% and returns for Class C shares reflect a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase.

Total returns presented above were calculated using the Fund’s net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on 10/31/17, which may exclude investment transactions as of this date. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses.

Class R3, R4 and R5 shares commenced operations on 9/30/11. Performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class Y shares. Class I shares commenced operations on 03/31/15. Performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares (excluding sales charges). Class F shares commenced operations on 2/28/17. Performance for Class F shares prior to 2/28/17 reflects the performance of Class I shares from 3/31/15 through 2/27/17 and Class A shares (excluding sales charges) prior to 3/31/15.

To the extent a share class has adopted the prior performance of another share class that had different operating expenses, such performance has not been adjusted to reflect the different operating expenses. If the performance were adjusted, it may have been higher or lower.

Performance information includes the Fund’s performance when it invested, prior to 2/1/10, at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of mid-capitalization companies and prior to 7/10/15, at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Small Cap Core Fund returned 23.19%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 27.85% for the same period. The Fund underperformed the 24.68% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton, equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S. economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015. In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter. The Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated. U.S. equities continued to climb in July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and an encouraging

employment data release. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August after five consecutive months of downside surprises, providing a degree of relief and increasing the market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Ten of the eleven sectors in the Russell 2000 Index rose during the period, with Healthcare (+38%), Industrials (+35%), and Materials (+34%) sectors performing the best. Energy (-6%) sector lagged on a relative basis during the period.

Security selection detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index during the period, due to weaker stock selection in Financials, Industrials, and Real Estate sectors, which was partially offset by stronger stock selection in the Materials, Energy, and Consumer Staples sectors. From a sector allocation perspective, a result of the Fund’s bottom-up quantitative stock selection process,

 

 

 

  33  

 


Hartford Small Cap Core Fund

Manager Discussion – (continued)

October 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

an overweight allocation to Consumer Staples and an underweight allocation to Information Technology detracted most from benchmark-relative performance. This was only partially offset by an underweight to Utilities.

The largest detractors from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index over the period were Hawaiian Holdings (Industrials), Francesca’s Holdings (Consumer Discretionary), and Mack-Cali Realty (Real Estate). Shares of Hawaiian Holdings, a U.S.-based airline, declined over the period as a number of competitors, including United Continental, announced increased capacity for flights to Hawaii. Shares of Francesca’s Holdings, a U.S.-based women’s clothing retailer, fell over the period after announcing poor second quarter results and the departure of their chief merchandising officer. Shares of Mack-Cali Realty, a U.S.-based real estate investment trust, fell during the period due to lowered guidance, an increase in leverage and light leasing. Westmoreland Coal (Energy) detracted from absolute returns over the period.

The largest contributors to benchmark-relative performance during the period were Scientific Games (Consumer Discretionary), Chemours (Materials), and Exelixis (Healthcare). Shares of Scientific Games, a U.S.-based provider of gambling products and services, rose during the period as it unveiled its proprietary SciQ lottery retail environment and a large portfolio of new game content, as well as announcing its proposed acquisition of NYX Gaming Group. Shares of Chemours, a U.S.-based producer of titanium dioxide, a white pigment used in paint, did well on cost savings, litigation relief, and benefits from financial leverage it had over this period. Shares of Elexis, a U.S.-based pharmaceutical drug company, rose during the period after reporting better than expected third quarter earnings results. Corcept Therapeutics (Healthcare) contributed positively to absolute returns 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?

The Fund seeks to add value by using 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 portfolio optimization techniques to seek to minimize unintended and uncompensated risks. The Fund’s characteristics, such as beta, capitalization distribution, and sector weights, are managed to be close to the index characteristics.

Based on our long-term time horizon, we seek to capitalize on opportunities created by the trading and pricing inefficiencies frequently found among small-cap equities. At the end of the period, the Fund was overweight the Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors and underweight the Information

Technology, Utilities, and Energy sectors relative to the Russell 2000 Index.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Small-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund’s focus on investments in particular sectors may increase its volatility and risk of loss if there are adverse economic consequences in those sectors.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund returned 29.28%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 31.00%. For the same period, the Fund underperformed the 29.36% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton,

equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S. economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015.

market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Ten out of eleven sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had positive returns during the period. The Telecommunication Services (+65%), Financials (+40%), and Materials (+38%) sectors increased the most while Energy (-19%) lagged the broader index.

Sector allocation, driven by the Fund’s bottom-up stock selection, was the primary driver of underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the period. An overweight to the Energy sector and an underweight to the Industrials sector detracted from benchmark-relative performance during the period. An underweight to Real Estate sector contributed positively to benchmark-relative results. Security selection contributed positively to relative returns during the period. Selection was strongest within Consumer Discretionary, Materials, and Real Estate sectors, which was slightly offset by weaker selection in Healthcare, Financials, Telecommunication Services, and Consumer Staples sectors.

The top relative detractors relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index included Cardtronics PLC (Information Technology), Kite Pharmaceuticals (Healthcare), and Exact Sciences (Healthcare). Shares of Cardtronics, a provider of automated financial services kiosks, underperformed as the firm reported a messy first quarter as a software transition and exit from the 7-Eleven relationship negatively affected same-store-sales and earnings more sharply than anticipated. Not owning Kite Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on cancer immunotherapy treatments, detracted from performance as shares rose after the announcement that the company will be acquired by Gilead Sciences. Exact Sciences, a molecular diagnostics company, also detracted from performance as we owned the high performing stock for only part of the period. Top absolute detractors for the period included Coherus Biosciences (Healthcare) and Alder Biopharmaceuticals (Healthcare).

The top relative and absolute contributors to performance were Rogers Corp (Information Technology), TopBuild Corp (Consumer Discretionary), and MKS Instruments (Information Technology). Shares of Rogers Corp, a maker of specialty advanced materials, including printed circuit materials, high-end specialty foams used in

smartphones, tablets, and electric vehicles, rose as the company announced a very strong first quarter and provided guidance for the second quarter above consensus expectations. The stock price of TopBuild Corp, a U.S.-based insulation installer, rose as the stock is expected to benefit from positive U.S. housing industry trends. Shares of MKS Instruments, a provider of instruments, subsystems, and process control solutions for advanced manufacturing, rose as investors were bullish on the company being well-positioned for secular growth trends in semiconductor capital equipment as well as its recent acquisition of Newport, which provides an opportunity to grow into new end markets.

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 the global reflation theme (rising nominal growth, wages and inflation) has likely been delayed, we believe the U.S. economy appears healthy and is growing at a healthy pace. Consumer spending is steady and investment spending appears to have picked up. Solid job growth and consumer confidence readings suggest that consumer spending should be in good shape in the near term.

The market is likely to remain focused on changes to the Fed’s bond buying program and its impact on interest rates in our view. We would not be surprised by a pick-up in volatility. With tight labor markets, we continue to expect the Fed to remain on the slow path to interest rate normalization. On legislative policy, both the White House and Congress are now focused on taxes. The initial tax blueprint, if enacted, would likely provide stimulus to both consumers and corporations. The magnitude of the stimulus from these initiatives is likely going to depend on the appetite for lawmakers to absorb increases to the deficit.

Overall, we continue to find what we consider to be attractively valued equities 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 the Fund’s holdings.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to the Industrials, Utilities, and Materials sectors, relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes and/or portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Small-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). The Fund’s focus on investments in particular sectors may increase its volatility and risk of loss if there are adverse economic consequences in those sectors. Growth investing may go out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Small Company Fund returned 29.16%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 31.00% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 29.36% average return of the Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose steadily for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. At the beginning of the period, November finished slightly higher, and financial data continued to paint a promising picture of the U.S. economy. Despite the common perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton, equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S. economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015. In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter. The

Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated. U.S. equities continued to climb in July, following a solid start to the corporate earnings season and an encouraging employment data release. The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in August after five consecutive months of downside surprises, providing a degree of relief and increasing the market’s expectation for interest rate increases at the end of the year and in 2018. The Fed announced that its balance sheet normalization program would begin in October, reiterating that the process would be gradual and predictable. In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strongly, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid-and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Likewise, small cap growth equities outperformed small cap value equities during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index and Russell 2000 Value Index, respectively.

Ten out of eleven sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had positive returns during the period. The Telecommunication Services (+65%), Financials (+40%), and Materials (+38%) sectors performed the best while Energy (-19%) and Consumer Staples (+7%) sectors lagged the broader index.

During the period, sector allocation, which is a result of bottom-up stock selection, was the primary driver of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index. In particular, an overweight to the Energy sector and an underweight to the Industrials sector detracted most, which was slightly offset by an underweight to the Consumer Staples sector, which contributed positively. Security selection contributed positively to relative performance during the period. Selection was strongest in the Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors, which more than offset weaker selection in the Industrials and Financials sectors, which detracted from benchmark-relative performance during the period.

Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the period included Academy CoInvest (Consumer Discretionary), Dexcom (Healthcare), and Kite Pharma (Healthcare). The fair valuation of private placement Academy CoInvest, which owns Academy Sports Store, a retailer of sports and recreational products, fell due to declines in its earnings and difficult conditions faced by sports retailers in general. Dexcom, a U.S.-based producer of continuous glucose monitoring devices used by diabetics, saw its share price fall sharply after its competitor Abbott announced the launch of a competitive product. The share price of Kite Pharma, a U.S.-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, rose during the period after it was announced that the company had accepted a buyout offer from Gilead Sciences, another biotechnology company. Not owning the stock detracted from relative results. Another top absolute detractor during the period was Gigamon (Information Technology).

Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the period included Align Technology (Healthcare), Tower Semiconductor (Information Technology), and Arista Networks (Information Technology). The stock price of Align Technology, a U.S.-based medical device company most known for its “Invisalign” braces, rose during the period after it announced revenues and earnings that beat market expectations driven by increased growth of the Invisalign product. Tower Semiconductor, an Israeli-based manufacturer of analog chips, saw its share price rise during the period after posting strong financial revenues and earnings and announcing solid order results in May. Arista Networks, a U.S.-based manufacturer of cloud networking software, saw its stock price rise due to a better than expected customer adoption rate and an advantageous finding in favor of Arista in a lawsuit that Cisco had filed against it. Another top absolute contributor during the period was Insulet (Healthcare).

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 of the end of the period, we continued to construct the Fund on a bottom-up basis drawing on deep fundamental research.

Despite geopolitical turbulence, we remained constructive on equity markets as global growth prospects remain strong as of the end of the period. If U.S. tax reform is enacted, we believe that we should see small cap stocks regain performance against large cap stocks. The main risks we see to our base case are political in nature and include tensions with North Korea and an ineffective Trump administration. However, most sustained market corrections are correlated with economic recessions, and we do not see any major signs of an imminent economic downturn in the U.S.

The Fund’s sector weights are a product of bottom-up stock selection based on company specific research. The Fund’s largest overweights at the end of the period were to the Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors while Industrials and Healthcare represented the Fund’s largest underweight sector exposures relative to the benchmark.

We continue to compare new opportunities to current holdings using our structured process and upside / downside framework. We remain true to our investment process, specifically our focus on emerging and re-emerging growth businesses that we believe have sustainable growth, superior management, and positive operating momentum.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Value Opportunities Fund1, before sales charge, returned 15.89% for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming one of the Fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Value Index, which returned 18.30% for the same period.

perception that markets preferred Hillary Clinton, equities soared following Trump’s victory on hopes of increased fiscal stimulus, reduced regulatory restrictions, and lower corporate taxes. In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) gave the U.S. economy a vote of confidence when it increased interest rates for the first time since December 2015. In March 2017, the Fed increased rates for the third time in a decade, and despite plunging oil prices, and heightened political risk, the market rallied in the second quarter. The Fed increased interest rates by 0.25% in June and laid out a plan for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017, provided the economy evolves broadly as anticipated.

In the wake of their failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Republicans pivoted to tax reform and unveiled a long-awaited blueprint in September. U.S. equities finished the period strong, posting a positive return in October.

Returns varied by market-cap, as mid- and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively, underperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017.

Ten of eleven sectors within the Russell 3000 Value Index posted positive returns during the period. Financials (+36%), Materials (+30%), and Information Technology (+28%) were top performers while Telecommunication Services (-3%) lagged on a relative basis.

Security selection detracted from performance relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index, primarily driven by stock selection within Healthcare, Information Technology, and Consumer Staples. This was somewhat offset by stronger selection in Telecommunication Services, Real Estate, and Industrials. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns over the period, primarily due to an underweight to Consumer Staples and Energy. This was partially offset by an underweight to Financials, which detracted from performance.

The top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index were Teva Pharmaceuticals (Healthcare), Bank of America (Financials), and Envision Healthcare (Healthcare). Shares of Teva Pharmaceuticals, an Israeli-based pharmaceutical company specializing in generic formulations, fell after the company announced a dividend cut, and lowered its 2017 fiscal year revenue and earnings guidance. Bank of America, a U.S.-based global

banking and financial services company, saw its share price rise as expectations of rising interest rates, lower taxes, and relief from regulatory pressures proved to be a secular tailwind for the U.S. banking industry. Not holding this stock detracted from relative performance. The stock price of Envision Healthcare, a U.S.-based medical holding company, slipped following a negative media report focused on out-of-network billing practices for Emergency Room care. Coty (Consumer Staples) was a top absolute detractor.

The largest contributors to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index were General Electric (Industrials), Citigroup (Financials), and PNC Financial Services (Financials). The stock price of General Electric, a U.S.-based multinational conglomerate operating in the technology infrastructure, capital finance, and consumer and industrial products industries, fell after the stock underperformed following fourth-quarter sales coming in lower than what analysts had anticipated in addition to several executive leadership changes. Not holding this stock contributed positively to relative performance. Shares of Citigroup, a U.S.-based financial services company, rose during the period that it was held in the Fund; the stock price rose as Citi has streamlined its business and built up excess capital, which investors were positive about. The stock price of PNC Financial Services, a U.S.-based financial services company, rose as investors became bullish on management’s focus on deepening customer relationships to try to drive fee growth. MetLife (Financials) was a top absolute contributor to performance during the period.

Currency forwards were used from time to time to hedge a portion of the currency risk in this Fund during the period. Over the period, the currency hedges slightly detracted from performance.

What is the outlook?

Following some signs of a slowing in leading indicators during the spring, and a more neutral balance of economic surprises after several quarters of upside bias, the U.S. economy has continued to experience respectable growth in our view. Consumer spending has remained relatively firm, while investment spending has accelerated.

Overall, we see an economy underpinned by real personal income growth above 2%, rising capital investment trends, a boost to exports from a weaker dollar, and the potential to replenish inventories from currently-tight levels. Against this favorable backdrop, we have kept the Fund’s exposure to economically-sensitive companies relatively static at the end of the period.

At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight Information Technology, Materials, and Real Estate sectors and most underweight Financials, Healthcare, and Industrials sectors, relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). The Fund’s focus on investments in particular sectors may increase its volatility and risk of loss if there are adverse economic consequences in those sectors. Value investing may go out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market.

Domestic Equity Funds

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, if any, and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC), if any, 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 May 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017. To the extent a Fund was subject to acquired fund fees and expenses during the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio below.

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) and CDSC. 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).

(1)  Effective November 1, 2017, a new transfer agency fee arrangement was implemented. Had the new transfer agency fee arrangement been in effect during the period, the annualized expense ratio above would have been 1.12%, and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been $6.06 and $5.70, respectively.

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

  Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally 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.

 

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

 

  Other than the industry classifications “Other Investment Pools & Funds,” equity industry classifications used in this report are the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and service mark of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

 

  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.

 

* Non-income producing.

 

(1)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(2)  Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $303,979,868, which represented 3.7% of total net assets.

 

(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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $282,714,116, which represented 3.4% 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)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited.

 

     At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $282,693,283, which represents 3.4% of total net assets.

The following illiquid securities are considered restricted due to a contractual lock-up period associated with the securities:

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

     Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally 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.

 

* Non-income producing.

 

(1)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(2)  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 to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $308,369,104, which represents 6.5% of total net assets.

 

(3)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited.

 

     At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $308,369,104, which represents 6.5% of total net assets.

The following illiquid securities are considered restricted due to a contractual lock-up period associated with the securities:

  12/2014      Redfin Corp. Series G      812,335        8,036,515        18,219,365  

 

(4)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $308,369,104, which represents 6.5% 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.

 

(5)  Current yield as of period end.

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

     Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally 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.

 

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

 

     Other than the industry classifications “Other Investment Pools & Funds,” equity industry classifications used in this report are the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and service mark of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

 

     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.

 

* Non-income producing.

 

(1)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(2)  Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $10,456,041, which represented 2.2% of total net assets.

 

(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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $10,456,041, which represented 2.2% 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.

 

(4)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited.

 

     At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $10,456,041, which represents 2.2% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2017

 

 

 

1. Organization:

The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (each, a “Company” and collectively, the “Companies”) are each an open-end registered management investment company comprised of forty-three and thirteen series, respectively, as of October 31, 2017. Financial statements for the series of each Company listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report.

The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.:

The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Capital Appreciation Fund”)

Hartford Core Equity Fund (the “Core Equity Fund”)

The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund (the “Dividend and Growth Fund”)

The Hartford Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Fund”)

The Hartford Healthcare Fund (the “Healthcare Fund”)

The Hartford MidCap Fund (the “MidCap Fund”)

The Hartford MidCap Value Fund (the “MidCap Value Fund”)

Hartford Small Cap Core Fund (the “Small Cap Core Fund”)

The Hartford Small Company Fund (the “Small Company Fund”)

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.:

The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund (the “Growth Opportunities Fund”)

The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”)

The Hartford Value Opportunities Fund (the “Value Opportunities Fund”)

The assets of each Fund are separate, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Each Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Each Fund has registered for sale Class A, Class T, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class Y and Class F shares. As of October 31, 2017, Class T shares have not commenced operations. Each of Capital Appreciation Fund, Core Equity Fund, Dividend and Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, MidCap Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Company Fund has registered for sale Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class T shares of each Fund have a front-end sales charge of up to 2.50%. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Classes I, R3, R4, R5, R6, Y and F shares are sold without a sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, redemption, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, with the exceptions that each class may have different expenses, which may affect performance.

Any remaining Class B shares converted to Class A shares on September 19, 2017. Class B shares are no longer offered for sale. Class B shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which was assessed on the lesser of the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares at the time of redemption or the original purchase price, and declined from 5.00% to zero, depending on the period of time the shares were held.

 

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 MeasurementsFor purposes of calculating the NAV of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in the Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported trade prices or official close price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices 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 security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the respective Company’s Board of Directors. Market prices are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker 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 holdings or assets. In addition, market prices are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities or other instruments 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 will generally 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. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments 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 holding is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair 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 and senior floating rate interests), non-exchange-traded derivatives and centrally cleared swaps held by a Fund are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services 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 obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. 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. Generally, a Fund may use fair valuation in regard to fixed income positions when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed investments or investments in a company in which a reorganization is pending. 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 exceeded 60 days.

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 a last trade price is not available, the value will be 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 options privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“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 securities or other instruments 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. Such open-end mutual funds may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.

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. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of such 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.

  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.

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 and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis.

 

  d) Taxes – A Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which such Fund invests. A Fund many also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends from securities in which the invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and 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 – A 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 shareholders. 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 of the Fund. 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, except Dividend and Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund, is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. The policy of Dividend and Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly 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)

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

 

 

  141  

 


Domestic Equity Funds

  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 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 October 31, 2017.

 

   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 may be used in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities 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. Upon entering into a foreign currency contract, a Fund may be required to post margin equal to its outstanding exposure thereunder.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Capital Appreciation Fund and Value Opportunities Fund had engaged in Foreign Currency Contracts.

 

  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 risk 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 and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value (“variation margin”) is paid or received 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.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Core Equity Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund had engaged in Futures Contracts.

  d) 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 October 31, 2017:

5. Principal Risks:

A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.

The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative 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. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Certain investments held by a Fund expose the Fund to various risks which may include, but are not limited to, interest rate, prepayment, and extension 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

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

October 31, 2017

 

 

 

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.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.

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. 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.

 

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 year. 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, 2017. 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 each Fund.

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 partnerships, REITs, return of capital from corporate stock, foreign currency, PFICs, expiration of capital loss carryforwards and utilization or write-off of 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

  f) 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.

The Capital Appreciation Fund, Core Equity Fund, Dividend and Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Healthcare Fund, MidCap Fund, MidCap Value Fund, Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Value Opportunities Fund had no capital loss carryforward for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of October 31, 2017.

During the year ended October 31, 2017, the Capital Appreciation Fund, Small Cap Core Fund and Small Company Fund utilized prior year capital loss carryforwards of $44,493,491, $7,724,217 and $47,373,579, respectively.

Under the current tax law, net investment losses realized after December 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes, often referred to as Late-Year Ordinary Losses. At October 31, 2017, the following Funds elected to defer Late-Year Ordinary Losses:

  g) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – Pursuant to provisions set forth by U.S. GAAP, management reviews each Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years. As of October 31, 2017, management 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. Management 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 – Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“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. HFMC has contracted with Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”) under a sub-advisory agreement and Wellington Management performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to HFMC, a portion of which may be used to compensate Wellington Management.

The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to HFMC for investment management services rendered as of October 31, 2017; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates:

As of October 31, 2017, HFMC contractually limited the total operating expenses of each Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) through February 28, 2018 as follows:

Such rebates are used to pay a portion of a Fund’s 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, these amounts, if any, are included in the Statements of Operations.

Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to each Fund. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, HASCO contractually agreed to reimburse any portion of the transfer agency fees over 0.30% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for each class. HASCO has contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for Class R6 and Class F shares until February 28, 2018. Any transfer agency fee reimbursement is determined before considering the contractual operating expense limitation. For providing such services during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, HASCO was compensated on a per account basis that varies by account type, except with respect to Class Y, for which it was compensated based on average daily net assets. Prior to May 1, 2017, Class Y shares were subject to a fee cap on transfer agency fees. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”), HASCO has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent functions to BFDS. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by HASCO, not by the Funds. The accrued amount shown in the Statements of Operations reflects the amounts charged by HASCO. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the effective rate of compensation paid to HASCO for transfer agency services before waivers and/or reimbursements as a percentage of each Class’s average daily net assets is as follows:

12. Indemnifications:

Under each Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland General Corporation Law and federal securities laws. In addition, each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, each Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

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, among other things, added as new plaintiffs The Hartford Floating Rate Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund and named as a defendant Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), which assumed the role as investment manager to the funds as of January 2013. In June 2015, HFMC and HIFSCO moved for summary judgment, and plaintiffs cross-moved for partial summary judgment with respect to The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund. In March 2016, the court, in large part, denied summary judgment for all parties. The court granted judgment for HFMC and HIFSCO with respect to all claims made by The Hartford Small Company Fund and certain claims made by The Hartford Floating Rate Fund. The court further ruled that the appropriate measure of damages on the surviving claims is the difference, if any, between the actual advisory fees paid through trial and those that could have been paid under the applicable legal standard. A bench trial on the issue of liability was held in November 2016. On February 28, 2017, the court granted judgment for HIFSCO and HFMC as to all claims. On March 23, 2017, plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

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. Subsequent Events:

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended October 31, 2017, events and transactions subsequent to October 31, 2017, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. The following subsequent events requiring financial statement adjustment or disclosure have been identified.

Effective November 1, 2017, each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, entered into an Amended and Restated Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (“Agreement”) with HASCO. Effective November 1, 2017, under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to such Fund. Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to BFDS (and any other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and BFDS (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the applicable Company’s Board; (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin. Effective November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2019, HASCO has also contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fees as follows: 0.25% (Class A), 0.25% (Class T), 0.25% (Class C), 0.20% (Class I), 0.02% (Class R3), 0.02% (Class R4), 0.02% (Class R5), and 0.06% (Class Y). HASCO has also contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for each of Class R6 and Class F shares until February 28, 2018, and thereafter, has agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fee at 0.004% of the average daily net assets for each of Class R6 and Class F shares through February 28, 2019. Each contractual arrangement, except the reimbursement of the entire transfer agency fee for Class R6 and Class F, will automatically renew for one-year terms thereafter unless HASCO provides written notice of termination prior to start of the next term or upon approval of the applicable Board.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.

 

 

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Hartford Core Equity Fund, The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, The Hartford Equity Income Fund, The Hartford Healthcare Fund, The Hartford MidCap Fund, The Hartford MidCap Value Fund, Hartford Small Cap Core Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund (nine of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.), and The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund, The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund and The Hartford Value Opportunities Fund (three of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.) (collectively, together with The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc., the “Companies”), as of October 31, 2017, 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the 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 October 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or 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 The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Hartford Core Equity Fund, The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, The Hartford Equity Income Fund, The Hartford Healthcare Fund, The Hartford MidCap Fund, The Hartford MidCap Value Fund, Hartford Small Cap Core Fund, and The Hartford Small Company Fund (nine of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.), and The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund, The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund and The Hartford Value Opportunities Fund (three of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.) at October 31, 2017, 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 their meeting held on August 1-2, 2017, the Boards of Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (“HMF”) and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (“HMF II”), including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) by and between HMF and HMF II, on behalf of each of their respective funds listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) except for The Hartford Healthcare Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund, and Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”); (ii) the continuation of a separate investment management agreement by and between HMF, on behalf of The Hartford Healthcare Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund, and HFMC (the “2013 Investment Management Agreement” and collectively with the Management Agreement, the “Management Agreements”); and (iii) new investment sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively with the Management Agreements, the “Agreements”) between HFMC and each Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”), on behalf of each of HMF and HMF II, as applicable.

In the months preceding the August 1-2, 2017 meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers 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, as applicable, with respect 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 approval of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meetings held on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal, compliance and risk management matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Board also considered the materials and in-person presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC received at the Board’s meetings on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017 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, as applicable. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 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 Management Agreements.

In determining whether to approve the Agreements for a Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate 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 approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements and, throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds. The

Independent Directors were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, 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 also 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 about each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators, as well as each Adviser’s commitment to implement rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, as well as the efforts of the Advisers to combat cybersecurity risks and invest in business continuity planning.

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, and the provision of administrative and 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 Hartford Funds’ 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 periodic due diligence reviews of the Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of the Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations 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 day-to-day oversight of each Fund’s compliance with its 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. Moreover, the Board considered HFMC’s oversight of potential conflicts of interest between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by the Funds’ portfolio management personnel.

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 the launch of new funds in recent years. The Board considered that HFMC is responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.

With respect to the Sub-adviser, which provides certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, the quality of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the Sub-adviser’s other investment personnel, its investment philosophy and process, its investment research capabilities and resources, its performance record, its trade execution capabilities and its 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 Broadridge comparing the investment performance of each Fund to an appropriate universe of peer funds. For details regarding each Fund’s performance, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.

 

 

  187  

 


Domestic Equity Funds

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

 

 

 

The Board considered the detailed investment analytics reports provided by HFMC’s Investment Advisory Group throughout the year, including in connection with the approval of the Agreements. These reports include, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance relative to an appropriate benchmark and peer group (if available), 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 and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. 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, including information regarding profitability trends over time. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-adviser. 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 and that the sub-advisory fees would be paid by HFMC and not the Funds. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Sub-adviser is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

The Board considered the Consultant’s review of the methodologies and estimates used by HFMC in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreements, noting the Consultant’s view that HFMC’s process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is reasonable and consistent with the process previously reviewed by the Consultant. 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 consistent with 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 the comparative information that had been provided at meetings on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017 with respect to the services rendered to and 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 HFMC’s undertaking to limit each Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to specified levels. The Board also reviewed information from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees and overall expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge, in consultation with the Consultant. For details regarding each Fund’s expenses, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.

While the Board recognized that comparisons between a Fund and its 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 Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses, in conjunction with 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 considered information regarding the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. 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

 

 

  188  

 


Domestic Equity Funds

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

 

 

 

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 considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce each Fund’s expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund’s assets decline. The Board recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates and pricing the Funds to scale at inception are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses, which has resulted in benefits being realized by shareholders as assets within the Hartford Funds family of funds have grown over time, including through lower operating expenses. The Board also noted that, for the Hartford Small Cap Core Fund, the 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 Broadridge 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, Broadridge, 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.

The Board noted that HFMC receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Funds, and the Board considered information on profits to 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. The Board considered that it had approved: (i) the removal of an expense limitation on the transfer agency fees for Class Y shares of each Fund effective May 1, 2017; (ii) the imposition of a direct account fee effective June 1, 2017; (iii) changes to the transfer agency fee structure effective November 1, 2017; and (iv) changes to the expense limitation on transfer agency fees for each share class of each Fund effective November 1, 2017. The Board reviewed information about the profitability to HASCO of the Funds’ transfer agency function, including the anticipated impact of the new fee structure on transfer agent profit margins. The Board noted that under the new transfer agency fee structure, the Funds will pay a fee to HASCO based on actual fees and expenses incurred by HASCO, including payments made by HASCO to a sub-transfer agent and to other financial intermediaries subject to guidelines approved by the Board, plus a reasonable target profit margin. The Board considered information provided by HASCO indicating that, after giving effect to the new fee structure, 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 distribution and service fees from the Funds and receives all or a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares.

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 does 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, including, with respect to certain share classes, the right to exchange investments between the same class of funds without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other funds in the family, and the ability to combine holdings in a Fund with holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the fund family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes and the assumption of entrepreneurial and other risks by HFMC in sponsoring new funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.

Additional Information Regarding the New Transfer Agency Fee (Unaudited – Not Part of the Annual Report)

 

 

 

Effective November 1, 2017, The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (each a “Company”), on behalf of its respective funds listed in the table below (each a “Fund”), entered into an Amended and Restated Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”). Effective November 1, 2017, under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to such Fund. Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) (and any other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and BFDS (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the applicable Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”); (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin. Effective November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2019, HASCO has also contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fees as follows: 0.25% (Class A), 0.25% (Class T), 0.25% (Class C), 0.20% (Class I), 0.02% (Class R3), 0.02% (Class R4), 0.02% (Class R5), and 0.06% (Class Y). HASCO has also contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for each of Class R6 and Class F shares until February 28, 2018, and thereafter, has agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fee at 0.004% of the average daily net assets for each of Class R6 and Class F shares through February 28, 2019. Each contractual arrangement, except the reimbursement of the entire transfer agency fee for Class R6 and Class F, will automatically renew for one-year terms thereafter unless HASCO provides written notice of termination prior to start of the next term or upon approval of the applicable Board.

If this new arrangement were in place during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the effective rate of compensation paid to HASCO for transfer agency services after waivers and/or reimbursements as a percentage of each Class’ average daily net assets would have been as follows:

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Thank you for investing in Hartford Funds. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report, covering the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017.

Market Review

During the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, U.S. stocks, as measured by the

 

S&P 500 Index,1 kept an upward trajectory. During this period, the S&P 500 Index generated a 23.6% total return, hitting another record high in late October.

The primary drivers of market progress during the period were slow, yet steady growth, positive corporate earnings, and positive job reports. These market conditions have served as the basis of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest-rate hike cycle that began in December 2015 and continued through June 2017, when short-term rates rose by 0.25% to a range of 1% to 1.25%. At the time of this writing, consensus expectations were for a continued gradual increase in interest rates throughout 2018, which should help markets better digest and account for such changes.

Going forward, politics both at home and abroad are likely to continue playing a key role in driving market movements. Congress has approved a budget resolution for the new fiscal year and pushed back the deadline to lift the debt ceiling in an effort to tie federal funding for disaster relief to the bills following three major hurricanes. Uncertainty surrounding healthcare and tax reform remain. Additionally, concerns about possible nuclear action from North Korea may be contributing to market uncertainty.

In Europe, while Macron’s victory in France was viewed as market-friendly, uncertainty remains, for example, with respect to Britain’s “Brexit” undertaking to leave the European Union, which could influence markets or cause an uptick in volatility.

We encourage you to maintain a strong relationship with your financial advisor, who can help guide you through shifting markets confidently. He or she can help you proactively build a portfolio that takes market uncertainty into account, along with your unique investment goals and risk tolerances. Your advisor can help you find a fit within our family of funds as you work toward those goals.

Thank you again for investing in Hartford Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our funds, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund returned 6.80%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the JP Morgan GBI Emerging Markets Global Diversified Index (GBI-EMGD), which returned 5.18% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 5.45% average return of the Lipper Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds that seek either current income or total return by investing at least 65% of total assets in debt issues denominated in the currency of their market of issuance, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Performance across the emerging markets fixed income sectors was strong during the period. Local markets debt, as measured by the

JP Morgan GBI Emerging Markets Global Diversified (GBI-EMGD), generated a total return of 5.18% in U.S. Dollar terms. Emerging Markets (EM) interest rates, and specifically coupon income, drove positive returns, with the depreciation of emerging markets currencies versus the U.S. dollar (USD) slightly weighing on results.

Emerging market corporate debt finished the period with a return of 6.18% and credit spreads narrowed by 0.60% to a level of 2.73% by the end of the period as measured by the JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Index (CEMBIBD).

In December 2016, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) opted to increase its policy rate for only the second time in eight years. It followed this rate increase with two additional rate increases, and also laid out its plans for balance sheet normalization (e.g., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) later in 2017. Separately, the European

Manager Discussion – (continued)

October 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Central Bank (ECB) announced plans to continue its asset-purchase program though at least September 2018, but at a lower monthly purchase rate than its current level.

Regarding emerging markets, in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), the Czech Republic’s central bank removed the euro/Czech koruna floor that had been in place since November 2013. In Poland, thousands of people protested the government’s attempt to overhaul the judicial branch, fearing it would undermine the judiciary’s independence. The U.S. approved new sanctions against Russia. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued efforts to consolidate his power, arresting opposition leaders and detaining members of the country’s parliament. Later, a referendum on constitutional change passed, further strengthening President Erdogan’s powers. In South Africa, President Jacob Zuma fired finance minister Pravin Gordhan, part of a larger cabinet shuffle in which 10 of 35 ministers were repositioned or dismissed. Later in 2017, President Zuma survived a no-confidence vote held by secret ballot. South Africa also unveiled its Medium Term Budget Policy Statement, which was worse than many had anticipated. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) agreed to its first production cut in eight years. A Saudi Arabian-led alliance of Gulf Arab states severed most diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar. Citing irregularities, Kenya’s Supreme Court nullified incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta’s election win and ordered a new poll between Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, which was subsequently won by Kenyatta and boycotted by Odinga.

In Latin America, daily anti-government protests continued in Venezuela due to the ongoing economic and humanitarian crisis, leaving thousands of people arrested and more than one hundred people dead. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro declared victory in the election of a Constituent Assembly to re-write the nation’s constitution; in response, the U.S. imposed targeted sanctions against President Maduro, other Venezuelan leaders, and certain individuals close to the government, and later banned trading in U.S. markets of new debt and equity issued by the Venezuelan government and its state oil company. In Brazil, President Michel Temer was officially charged with corruption in two separate rounds of charges. However, in each instance, Brazil’s Congress voted to reject the charges against President Temer, protecting him from prosecution while he remains in office. Argentina removed the mandatory 120-day holding period for foreign capital to repatriate funds. Later, the governing coalition of Argentinian President Mauricio Macri had a strong showing in midterm elections, strengthening President Macri’s ability to implement economic changes. El Salvador’s Congress approved a series of major pension reforms. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) renegotiations began and several rounds of talks took place, culminating with an agreement to extend discussions into the first quarter of 2018.

In Asia, the Malaysian central bank asked foreign banks to refrain from trading non-deliverable currency forwards to reduce trading in

the offshore market. South Korea’s Parliament voted to impeach President Park Geun-hye after she became embroiled in a corruption scandal, and Moon Jae-in won the country’s subsequent presidential election. Tensions continued to rise on the Korean peninsula as North Korea defied calls for it to halt missile launches and stated that it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, prompting the United Nations (UN) Security Council to impose additional sanctions. China and Hong Kong officially launched the Bond Connect, allowing foreign investors to access the Chinese bond market. Later in the period, President Xi Jinping kicked off China’s 19th Communist Party Congress with a speech signaling “a new historic juncture in China’s development” which pointed to development goals and greater involvement in international affairs. Additionally, China returned to international bond markets for the first time in thirteen years by selling $2 billion in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds.

Within the Fund, relative to the GBI-EMGD, security selection and currency positioning contributed to positive performance, while duration strategies detracted from performance. The Fund’s structural allocation to corporate bonds had a positive impact on relative performance as, generally speaking, corporate bonds marginally outperformed the local rates and coupon component of the GBI-EMGD. Within the corporate bond holdings in the Fund, security selection drove positive performance versus the CEMBIBD, and country allocation also had a marginal positive impact.

The Fund’s duration strategies detracted from relative performance. When examining EM local market duration exposure, in EMEA, an underweight duration exposure for most of the period to the Czech Republic aided results; we are cautious on Czech local rates as we expect the central bank to continue tightening, more than markets are suggesting, due to above-target inflation and increased domestic demand pressures. An underweight duration exposure to Poland, based on improving growth and wage inflation, also had a positive impact. In addition, an underweight duration exposure to Romania, due to the government’s pro-cyclical fiscal stance, contributed positively to performance. However, in Latin America, an underweight duration exposure to Colombia detracted from results; we believe our view of deflation and the Colombian central bank continuing to cut rates is in line with the market, and that valuations are unattractive. In Asia, an underweight duration exposure to Indonesia for most of the period, given less attractive valuations and expectations that the central bank would not cut rates, also detracted from relative performance. In addition, there was a negative duration impact from corporate holdings, for which the duration effect is predominantly captured by U.S. treasury yield movements; U.S. treasury yields increased over the period.

Security selection contributed positively to relative performance during the period. In EMEA, an underweight exposure to short- and long-dated local sovereign debt in Turkey weighed on results, as did an underweight exposure to short-dated local sovereign debt in Poland; in contrast, an allocation to short- and medium-term local sovereign debt in Ghana helped results. An allocation to external

corporate and quasi-sovereign debt in Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kazakhstan, as well as to external quasi-sovereign debt in Azerbaijan, also proved favorable. In Latin America, an allocation to long-dated Uruguayan local sovereign debt aided performance. In Argentina, an allocation to inflation-linked debt and to a Lebac (i.e., short-term debt securities issued by the central bank of Argentina) total return swap, as well as an overweight exposure to select mid- and long-dated local sovereign debt, also helped results. Further, an allocation to external provincial and corporate debt in Argentina, as well as to external quasi-sovereign and corporate debt in Mexico, Brazil, and Chile, had a positive impact. In Asia, an underweight exposure to short- and long-dated local sovereign debt in Malaysia detracted from performance, as did an underweight exposure to select local sovereign debt across the yield curve in Indonesia. At the same time, an allocation to external quasi-sovereign and corporate debt in China and India, and to external corporate debt in Hong Kong, contributed positively to results.

Currency positioning aided results. In EMEA, positioning in the Turkish lira, where we were underweight at the beginning of the period due to expectations that balance of payments pressures would persist, and overweight in the middle of the period due to an expected benefit from lower oil prices, contributed positively to performance. An overweight exposure for most of the period to the Polish zloty, due to slightly higher carry than regional peers, as well as a flexible and competitive labor market and EU fund inflows driving growth, aided results; an allocation to the Egyptian pound, based on what we consider to be favorable valuations, also proved beneficial. Additionally, an underweight exposure for most of the period to the South African rand, given political risk, had a positive impact. In Latin America, an overweight exposure for most of the period to the Mexican peso, given attractive valuations, aided performance; tactical positioning in the Colombia peso also contributed positively to performance. In contrast, in Asia, an underweight exposure for most of the period to the Thai baht, due to low carry, weighed on results.

During the period, the Fund’s interest rate and credit positioning was primarily implemented through cash bond positions and derivatives, such as interest rate and total return swaps, credit default swap contracts, and interest rate futures. We used local currency denominated cash bonds, currency forwards (deliverable and non-deliverable), and currency options to express our views on currency. Overall, the Fund’s positioning implemented via derivatives contributed positively to performance relative to the GBI-EMGD Index during the period.

What is the outlook?

We believe EM fundamentals are improving against a broadly constructive global backdrop, though some key risks remain. Growth is picking up modestly in EM countries, and we expect continued modest growth in 2018 for a gradual, u-shaped recovery. Current account balances meaningfully recovered in a number of markets, thanks to the widespread adoption of flexible exchange rate policies

and improved demand for EM exports. With this adjustment, EM currencies have broadly stabilized, leaving many countries less reliant on foreign capital inflows to finance external deficits. These trends have also led to reduced inflationary pressures in the most vulnerable markets, creating space for rate cuts. Fiscal policies are also beginning to improve, though government debt ratios will likely continue to creep higher until more action is taken to address fiscal imbalances. We expect that the drag on growth from the commodity price shock should continue to slowly dissipate, as supply/demand trends keep oil valuations within a range that is comfortable for most EM countries. While this is a constructive picture for emerging markets in aggregate, not all countries are moving at the same pace and direction, as a result, we expect country differentiation to remain an essential component of the Fund’s strategies.

The global backdrop remains supportive for emerging markets on the back of synchronized global growth. This, combined with a very gradual withdrawal of monetary stimulus and improving EM fundamentals, drives our constructive view on emerging markets. We expect that global liquidity should moderate this year due to U.S. Fed tightening, but developed market central bank policy may remain broadly accommodative. Future policy actions are susceptible to the path of inflation, but the Fund’s base case remains that monetary policy normalization will continue at a gradual pace. While we recognize risks stemming from the Fed’s rate hiking cycle, it is important to remember that EM countries are in a stronger fundamental position today than they were at the start of tapering discussions in 2013. Meanwhile, China’s recent growth trends have been supported by local construction and property prices. Though we anticipate a slowdown in growth, the government is gradually addressing credit excesses in the banking sector by curbing the expansion of banks’ off-balance sheet business and tightening oversight of wealth management products. We view this as a positive policy effort and the impact to China’s real economy should be limited, aiding a soft landing. Key risks to watch over the near-term are developed market central bank policy, the U.S. policy agenda and impacts on inflation, geopolitics, and a shock to Chinese growth.

Turning to the Fund, we continue to find what we consider to be value in select local interest rate markets. We favor EM local rates exposure in Russia in particular – a special case where inflation is falling structurally and the central bank may ease beyond what markets have priced in. The Russian central bank can continue lowering rates, even as the Fed moves in the opposite direction, because of these favorable domestic dynamics. We also find longer-duration debt attractive in Mexico, mainly due to valuations as opposed to the direction of monetary policy. In Turkey, we balance the improvement in the inflation outlook, which appears to have peaked and leaves the central bank room to initiate an easing cycle, against risks surrounding the timing and pace of the rate cutting cycle. In Latin America, we ended the period underweight Brazil and Colombia relative to the benchmark despite rate cutting cycles in both countries. In Brazil, we find the longer-dated bonds to be overvalued

in our view; in Colombia, we expect inflation to continue to fall due to low growth and the central bank to continue cutting rates, but we believe the Fund’s underweight is in line with market views and valuations are unattractive. In Central Europe, we are cautious on the Czech Republic, as we expect the central bank to continue to tighten, more than markets are suggesting, due to above-target inflation and increased domestic demand pressures. In Asia, we favor higher yielding markets, specifically India, where valuations are attractive in our view. In contrast, we are cautious on the lower yielding Asian markets, including Thailand, Malaysia, and South Korea, where growth trends are improving and markets are more susceptible to rising inflationary pressures as the global recovery continues.

As for foreign exchange, we favor Latin America and EMEA over Asia. Broadly speaking, valuations are attractive in our view, and more resilient fundamental trends may temper downside risks over the medium-term. Improving growth in Europe and Japan may lead to a gradual reduction of monetary stimulus in those markets, reducing dispersion with U.S. policy. However, U.S. trade policy remains a wild card and tempers our constructive view. The Fund’s currency exposure is largely focused in some smaller idiosyncratic markets (Egypt, Ghana, Uruguay, and Kazakhstan). In Latin America, we favor the Peruvian sol due to attractive valuations in our view, particularly relative to copper prices. In Europe, we are cautious on the Czech koruna, which we believe remains vulnerable to outflows given heavy foreign positioning; we are also cautious on the Hungarian forint, where the central bank maintains a low interest rate policy and appears determined to act against currency appreciation. We remained underweight Asian currencies in aggregate relative to the benchmark, including the Thai baht and Taiwan dollar, which are low carry and are vulnerable to moves in the USD. However, we continued to invest in the Chinese renminbi, where the carry remains attractive and capital outflow risks are more muted. We also find value in the Indian rupee, which we believe has attractive carry supported by a strong balance of payments, as well as the Malaysian ringgit, where we believe valuations are particularly attractive in the context of an improving outlook for the trade balance and a relatively strong external position.

Regarding EM corporates, fundamentals suffered when commodity prices fell and growth in emerging markets slowed. However, we have since seen steady improvement, especially in commodity-sensitive sectors. Corporate issuers were largely shut out of international markets during the commodity price shock and reacted positively by cutting capital expenditures, dividends, and cost structures. Looking forward, we expect that deleveraging among emerging market corporates should plateau, and that companies are likely to increase spending on capital expenditures and dividends, starting from a point of stronger credit fundamentals.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated

objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. The value of inflation-protected securities generally fluctuates with changes in real interest rates, and the market for these securities may be less developed or liquid, and more volatile, than other securities markets. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund is non-diversified, so it may be more exposed to the risks associated with individual issuers than a diversified fund. Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Floating Rate Fund returned 5.66%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, which returned 5.25% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 4.73% average return of the Lipper Loan Participation Funds peer group, a group of funds that invest primarily in interests in collateralized senior corporate loans that have floating or variable rates, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations at the beginning of the period. Optimism that the policy would emphasize tax reforms and deregulation boosted credit

markets. Robust economic data in the first quarter of 2017 and demand for yield-producing assets continued to support credit markets. In the U.S., President Trump’s failure to secure a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in Congress cast doubt on prospects for his other policy agendas, reversing some of the post-election selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The United Kingdom (U.K.) took the next step in the process of exiting the E.U. (Brexit) as Prime Minister May triggered Article 50 – setting the stage for the nation’s departure from the European Union (E.U.) – and gilt (i.e. U.K. government bond) yields declined.

Fixed income markets continued to post positive returns through the second quarter as generally solid corporate earnings trumped concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S. In the U.S., political controversies – in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election – led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets

started pointing to a less accommodative stance. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates in June, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and laid out a plan for tapering its asset purchases while Bank of England Governor Carney indicated rate increases would be looming in the U.K. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its inflation forecasts, triggering speculation that it might postpone the tapering of asset purchases that had been expected later this year.

At the end of the period, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and serial disappointments in inflation data helped to contain the increase in sovereign debt yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. Generally strong economic data, a rally in commodities prices, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets. The Fed announced it would begin tapering its asset purchases starting in October and continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Over the period, most currencies strengthened over the U.S. dollar (USD). To start off the period, most currencies weakened versus the USD, particularly those of emerging markets, over concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on U.S. trade partners after the election of Donald Trump. However, these currencies and most developed market currencies strengthened against the USD during the remainder of the period as the market became skeptical about the Fed’s projected rate-hiking path and a number of developed central banks began to reduce monetary easing policies.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Over the period, both security selection and sector allocation were contributors to positive outperformance relative to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. The primary driver of outperformance was security selection, largely due to strong selection within the Financial Institutions, Energy, and Utilities sectors, which was partially offset by weaker selection within the Consumer Products sector. Within sector allocation, an overweight allocation to the Energy sector and underweight to Retail Stores contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance, while underweight allocations to Media Entertainment, Automotive, and Diversified Manufacturing detracted from performance. In aggregate, credit quality positioning had a slightly negative impact on relative performance as the Fund’s underweight to CCC and below-rated securities detracted during a time when lower quality outperformed.

The Fund used derivatives on a limited basis during the period for risk management purposes. Over the twelve month period ended October 31, 2017, the Fund employed currency forwards to minimize active currency risk from investments in non-dollar denominated securities. Although we typically view currency forwards in conjunction with the securities intended to be hedged, on a standalone basis the currency forwards detracted from benchmark relative performance due to the decline of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and the British Pound over the period.

What is the outlook?

Our outlook for bank loans remains generally constructive. Overall, we are seeking to position the Fund to benefit from an improving economy, while also seeking to exploit issuer-specific opportunities. We believe the macro environment supports issuers with leveraged balance sheets, as indicators show increasing economic strength. That said, we continue to monitor global political risks. Tighter U.S. monetary policy may benefit bank loans more than fixed rate sectors as bank loan coupons reset higher given their floating-rate nature. Currently we are finding what we believe to be the best opportunities in higher-quality, U.S.-focused issuers in less cyclical industries. Wireless issuers remained a key overweight; recent consolidation in the U.S. may improve industry structure and economics. Meanwhile, we maintained an underweight to the Media Entertainment sector. Many of its sub-sectors appear in secular (long-term) decline, including terrestrial radio, printing, and newspapers. With respect to quality, we continued to overweight single B-rated loans as we believe they currently offer the best risk/reward profile. Overall, we believe default rates will remain below historical averages, and are expected to remain benign. We believe the asset class has many long term potential benefits, including diversification and floating-rate coupons, that we believe should eventually reassert themselves to enhance the relative appeal of bank loans for investors.

We remain constructive on high yield given the backdrop of stable corporate fundamentals, a supportive macroeconomic landscape, and strong demand for yield-producing assets. While global political risks remain, we believe valuations appear reasonable relative to our outlook, in particular given our expectation for a benign default environment over the next year. We are particularly positive on conditions in the U.S., and favor issuers expected to benefit from a stable or growing U.S. domestic economy. While we continue to monitor the possible impact on global growth of increased political uncertainty and potentially more protectionist policies, we believe strong investor demand should continue to support the high yield market. We believe high yield maintains an attractive yield advantage and the ongoing “search for yield” given the low absolute levels of interest rates around much of the globe may continue to provide a tailwind for the asset class going forward.

At the end of the period, the Fund maintained out-of-benchmark allocations to high yield credit and investment grade credit. Within credit quality positioning, the Fund was overweight BB-rated

securities and underweight B-rated and CCC and below-rated securities relative to the benchmark. In terms of sector positioning, the Fund was overweight Gaming, Energy, and Consumer Cyclical Services and underweight Technology, Retailers, and Media and Entertainment, relative to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index at the end of the period.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Loans can be difficult to value and highly illiquid; they are subject to credit risk, bankruptcy risk, and insolvency. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”).

The Fund should not be considered an alternative to CDs or money market funds. This Fund is for investors who are looking to complement their traditional fixed-income investments.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Floating Rate High Income Fund returned 6.38%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, which returned 5.25% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 4.73% average return of the Lipper Loan Participation Funds peer group, a group of funds that invest primarily in interests in collateralized senior corporate loans that have floating or variable rates, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations at the beginning of the period. Optimism that the policy would emphasize tax reforms and deregulation boosted credit

markets. Robust economic data in the first quarter of 2017 and demand for yield-producing assets continued to support credit markets. In the U.S., President Trump’s failure to secure a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in Congress cast doubt on prospects for his other policy agendas, reversing some of the post-election selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The United Kingdom (U.K.) took the next step in the process of exiting the E.U. (Brexit) as Prime Minister May triggered Article 50 – setting the stage for the nation’s departure from the European Union (E.U.) – and gilt (i.e., U.K. government bond) yields declined.

Fixed income markets continued to post positive returns through the second quarter as generally solid corporate earnings trumped concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S. In the U.S., political controversies – in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election – led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets

started pointing to a less accommodative stance. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates in June, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and laid out a plan for tapering its asset purchases while Bank of England Governor Carney indicated rate increases would be looming in the U.K. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its inflation forecasts, triggering speculation that it might postpone the tapering of asset purchases that had been expected later this year.

At the end of the period, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and serial disappointments in inflation data helped to contain the increase in sovereign debt yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. Generally strong economic data, a rally in commodities prices, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets. The Fed announced it would begin tapering its asset purchases starting in October and continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Over the period, most currencies strengthened over the U.S. dollar (USD). To start off the period, most currencies weakened versus the USD, particularly those of emerging markets, over concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on U.S. trade partners after the election of Donald Trump. However, these currencies and most developed market currencies strengthened against the USD during the remainder of the period as the market became skeptical about the Fed’s projected rate-hiking path and a number of developed central banks began to reduce monetary easing policies.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Over the period, outperformance relative to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index was largely driven by security selection. Selection was strongest within the Financial Institutions, Energy, and Healthcare sectors, which was partially offset by weaker selection within the Consumer Products sector. In aggregate, sector allocation also had a positive impact on relative performance during the period. An underweight to the Retail Stores sector contributed positively to the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance, while underweight allocations to Media Entertainment and Automotive sectors detracted from performance. In aggregate, credit quality positioning had a positive impact on relative performance, as the Fund’s overweight to CCC and below-rated securities contributed positively during a time when lower quality outperformed.

The Fund used derivatives on a limited basis during the period for risk management purposes. Over the twelve month period ended October 31, 2017, the Fund employed currency forwards to minimize active currency risk from investments in non-dollar denominated securities. Although we typically view currency forwards in conjunction with the securities intended to be hedged, on a standalone basis the currency forwards detracted from performance relative to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index due to the decline of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and the British Pound over the period.

What is the outlook?

Our outlook for bank loans remains generally constructive. Overall, we are seeking to position the Fund to benefit from an improving economy, while also seeking to exploit issuer-specific opportunities. We believe the macro environment supports issuers with leveraged balance sheets, as indicators show increasing economic strength. That said, we continue to monitor global political risks. Tighter U.S. monetary policy may benefit bank loans more than fixed rate sectors as bank loan coupons reset higher given their floating-rate nature. Currently, we are finding what we believe to be the best opportunities in higher-quality, U.S.-focused issuers in less cyclical industries. Wireless issuers remained a key overweight; recent consolidation in the U.S. may improve industry structure and economics. Meanwhile, we maintained an underweight to the Media Entertainment sector. Many of its sub-sectors appear in secular (long-term) decline, including terrestrial radio, printing, and newspapers. With respect to quality, we continued to overweight single B-rated loans as we believe they currently offer the best risk/reward profile. Overall, we believe default rates will remain below historical averages, and are expected to remain benign. We believe the asset class has many long term potential benefits, including diversification and floating-rate coupons, that we believe should eventually reassert themselves to enhance the relative appeal of bank loans for investors.

We remain constructive on high yield given the backdrop of stable corporate fundamentals, a supportive macroeconomic landscape, and strong demand for yield-producing assets. While global political risks remain, we believe valuations appear reasonable relative to our outlook, in particular given our expectation for a benign default environment over the next year. We are particularly positive on conditions in the U.S., and favor issuers expected to benefit from a stable or growing U.S. domestic economy. While we continue to monitor the possible impact on global growth of increased political uncertainty and potentially more protectionist policies, we believe strong investor demand should continue to support the high yield market. We believe high yield maintains an attractive yield advantage and the ongoing “search for yield” given the low absolute levels of interest rates around much of the globe may continue to provide a tailwind for the asset class going forward.

At the end of the period, the Fund maintained out-of-benchmark allocations to high yield credit and investment grade credit. Within

credit quality positioning, the Fund was overweight BB-rated securities and underweight B-rated and CCC and below-rated securities relative to the benchmark. In terms of sector positioning, the Fund was overweight Gaming, Energy, and Consumer Cyclical Services and underweight Technology, Retailers, and Media and Entertainment, relative to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index at the end of the period.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Loans can be difficult to value and highly illiquid; they are subject to credit risk and risks of bankruptcy and insolvency. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid.

The Fund should not be considered an alternative to CDs or money market funds. This Fund is for investors who are looking to complement their traditional fixed-income investments.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford High Yield Fund returned 8.16%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, which returned 8.92% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 8.07% average return of the Lipper High Yield Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses.

The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index returned 8.92% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2017 and outperformed duration equivalent treasuries by 9.26%. The option-adjusted spread (OAS) of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index was 3.38% on October 31, 2017, narrower than twelve months ago (4.77% as of October 31, 2016). During the period, security selection was the primary contributor to returns relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, driven primarily by the Financials, Technology, and Healthcare sectors. This was partially offset by weaker selection in the Energy sector.

Overall, sector allocation decisions slightly contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns, primarily driven by the Fund’s underweight allocations to the retailers and supermarkets sectors. This was partially offset by an overweight to Energy, which detracted from performance.

Credit quality positioning contributed positively to relative performance during the period, primarily due to an underweight to B-rated securities.

Over the period, the Fund had a small position in High Yield Credit Default Swap Index (CDX) which contributed positively to performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index. The Fund’s CDX position was used for liquidity purposes and for tactically adjusting the risk posture of the Fund.

What is the outlook?

We remain constructive on high yield given the backdrop of stable corporate fundamentals, a supportive macroeconomic landscape, and strong demand for yield-producing assets. While global political risks remain, we believe valuations appear reasonable relative to our outlook, in particular given our expectation for a benign default environment over the next year.

We are particularly positive on conditions in the U.S., and favor issuers expected to benefit from a stable or growing U.S. domestic economy. While we continue to monitor the possible impact on global growth of increased political uncertainty and potentially more protectionist policies, we believe strong investor demand should continue to support the high yield market. We believe high yield maintains an attractive yield advantage and the ongoing “search for yield” given the low absolute levels of interest rates around much of the globe may continue to provide a tailwind for the asset class going forward.

The Fund ended the period most overweight the gaming and packaging sectors, and was most underweight to the retailers and automotive sectors relative to the benchmark.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Inflation Plus Fund returned 0.27%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index, which returned 0.15% and -0.12%, respectively, for the same period. The Fund underperformed the 0.47% average return of the Lipper Treasury Inflation Protection Funds peer group, a group of funds that invest primarily in inflation-indexed fixed income securities, during the period. Inflation-linked bonds are fixed income securities structured to provide protection against inflation.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations at the beginning of the period. Optimism that the policy would emphasize tax reforms and deregulation boosted credit markets. Robust economic data in the first quarter of 2017 and demand for yield-producing assets continued to support credit markets. In the U.S., President Trump’s failure to secure a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in Congress cast doubt on prospects for his other policy agendas, reversing some of the post-election selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The United Kingdom (U.K.) took the next step in the

process of exiting the E.U. (Brexit) as Prime Minister May triggered Article 50 – setting the stage for the nation’s departure from the European Union (E.U.) – and gilt (i.e. U.K. government bond) yields declined.

Fixed income markets continued to post positive returns through the second quarter of 2017 as generally solid corporate earnings trumped concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S. In the U.S., political controversies – in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election – led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets started pointing to a less accommodative stance. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates in June, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and laid out a plan for tapering its asset purchases while Bank of England Governor Carney indicated rate increases would be looming in the U.K. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its inflation forecasts, triggering speculation that it might postpone the tapering of asset purchases that had been expected later this year.

At the end of the period, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and serial disappointments in inflation data helped to contain the increase in sovereign debt yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. Generally strong economic data, a rally in commodities prices, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets. The Fed announced it

would begin tapering its asset purchases starting in October and continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Over the period, most currencies strengthened over the U.S. dollar (USD). To start off the period, most currencies weakened versus the USD, particularly those of emerging markets, over concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on U.S. trade partners after the election of Donald Trump. However, these currencies and most developed market currencies strengthened against the USD during the remainder of the period as the market became skeptical about the Fed’s projected rate-hiking path and a number of developed central banks began to reduce monetary easing policies.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Real and nominal U.S. Treasury yields were mixed over the past twelve months, reflecting changing levels of conviction in the global “reflation trade” as well as broader anxiety over domestic policy risk and global geopolitical risk. In late 2016, following the U.S. presidential election, markets priced in a very optimistic scenario of stimulatory fiscal policy, leading to sharply higher yields and to a significant widening in the “inflation breakeven” spread between TIPS and nominal U.S. Treasuries. As markets subsequently reacted to the continued gridlock in Washington D.C. and realized inflation underperformed expectations, these gains were largely reversed. More recently, however, renewed momentum around tax reform, expectation of Hurricane-related fiscal stimulus, and the likelihood of rates rising from tightening monetary policy have driven rates higher. Over the twelve months ending October 31, 2017, 5- and 10-year TIPS “real” yields rose 0.51% and 0.41%, respectively, and 5- and 10-year inflation breakevens rose by 0.20% and 0.14%, respectively.

The Fund’s allocation across various credit sectors, or “plus” sectors, such as bank loans, non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and commercial MBS were the primary contributors to outperformance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index, as credit spreads traded tighter over the period. The Fund is invested in these “plus” sectors because of the investment team’s expectation that these particular sectors will be correlated to inflation over time, and the sectors are overlaid with consumer price index (CPI) swaps so that the overall Fund “beta” to inflation is not diminished. The Fund’s positioning within Emerging Market inflation-linked bonds was another area of performance strength, as were the Fund’s tactical duration positions.

Over the period, the Fund made use of derivatives in pursuit of both risk management and total returns. Derivatives usage included U.S. Treasury futures to manage duration, credit default swaps to manage sector exposure, currency forwards both to hedge emerging market currency risk and as part of the developed currency strategy, and CPI swaps and bond forwards to add inflation sensitivity. Over the period, the impact of derivatives on performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index was generally positive. The Fund’s exposures to interest rate swaps, CPI swaps, and credit derivatives (e.g. commercial mortgage-backed security index) were additive to performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index. The performance of currency forward positions also contributed positively relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index. The use of bond futures to manage duration slightly detracted from performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS 1-10 Year Index.

What is the outlook?

We continue to expect that the Core Consumer Price Index will move towards 2% by the first half of 2018. Therefore, our view remains that 5- and 10-year inflation breakevens are trading cheap, though we are seeking to keep risk low in this position, as we do not have high conviction about a near-term catalyst that would send breakevens materially higher.

We continued to be underweight shorter-term TIPS, which are most sensitive to short-term changes in inflation, and are focused on security selection around the 10-year segment of the TIPS curve. The Fund maintained allocations to bank loans, non-USD inflation linked bonds, non-agency MBS and commercial MBS, at the end of the period.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes and/or portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The value of inflation-protected securities generally fluctuates with changes in real interest rates, and the market for these securities may be less developed or liquid, and more volatile, than other securities markets. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities’ risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Municipal Income Fund returned 2.03%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which returned 2.19% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 1.77% average return of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing significant losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations at the beginning of the period.

would begin tapering its asset purchases starting in October and continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Tax-exempt municipal bonds, as represented by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Municipal Securities Index, posted a positive total return of 2.11% during the period. The yield on 10-year AAA rated general obligation municipal bonds (GOs) increased during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017 as did the yield on 10-year Treasuries. The ratio of yields on 10-year AAA rated GOs to yields on 10-year Treasuries decreased over the period, falling from 94.0% to 84.5%. Over the period, technical factors were generally positive as demand for municipal funds and individual bonds was relatively strong while supply was measured.

The primary driver of underperformance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index during the period was an out-of-benchmark allocation to high yield revenue bonds and high yield general obligation bonds. Security selection within investment grade revenue bonds, especially within the transportation and special tax sectors, contributed positively to relative performance during the period. The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning also contributed positively to relative results 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?

We expect the U.S. economy to maintain a steady growth rate, driven by employment gains, elevated confidence, and investment spending. We ended the period with a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture and believe this positioning is appropriate going forward. We believe fundamentals remain strong across our favored revenue sectors relative to state and local issuers. Within transportation, we remain positive on airports and toll roads with a slight preference for toll roads as we believe fundamentals and spread levels are modestly more attractive for these bonds than they are for the airport sector. Overall enplanement (passenger) growth has slowed compared to recent quarters but is still positive. We believe that toll road revenues continue to grow as auto travel remains strong. Within GO credits, we are positive on select state and local issuers, supported by adequate reserve levels, steady revenue growth, and more stable fiscal

conditions. The Fund ended the period with a duration of 6.11 years.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Tax-exempt municipal bonds, as represented by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Municipal Securities Index, posted a positive total return of 2.11% during the period. The yield on 10-year AAA rated general obligation municipal bonds (GOs) increased during the twelve-month period as did the yield on 10-year Treasuries. The ratio of yields on 10-year AAA rated GOs to yields on 10-year Treasuries decreased over the period, falling from 94.0% to 84.5%. Over the period, technical factors were generally positive as demand for municipal funds and individual bonds was relatively strong while supply was measured.

An out-of-benchmark allocation to high yield state general obligation bonds was the primary driver of benchmark-relative underperformance during the period. The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning also detracted from performance, largely due to the Fund’s overweight to the 10-year and 20-year portions of the yield curve as rates rose. Security selection within investment grade revenue bonds, particularly within the transportation and special tax sectors, contributed positively to relative results over the period. Selection within investment grade general obligation bonds also contributed positively to relative 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?

We expect the U.S. economy to maintain a steady growth rate, driven by employment gains, elevated confidence, and investment spending. We ended the period with a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture and believe this positioning is appropriate going forward. We believe fundamentals remain strong across our favored revenue sectors relative to state and local issuers. Within transportation, we remain positive on airports and toll roads with a slight preference for toll roads as we believe fundamentals and spread levels are modestly more attractive for toll road bonds than they are for the airport sector. Overall enplanement (passenger) growth has slowed compared to recent quarters but is still positive. We believe that toll road revenues continue to grow as auto travel remains strong. Within GO credits, we

are positive on select state and local issuers, supported by adequate reserve levels, steady revenue growth, and more stable fiscal conditions. The Fund ended the period with a duration of 5.26 years.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. High-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund returned 2.00%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Index, which returned 1.94% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 1.49% average return of the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations at the beginning of the period. Optimism that the policy would emphasize tax reforms and deregulation boosted credit markets. Robust economic data in the first quarter of 2017 and demand for yield-producing assets continued to support credit

markets. In the U.S., President Trump’s failure to secure a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in Congress cast doubt on prospects for his other policy agendas, reversing some of the post-election selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The United Kingdom (U.K.) took the next step in the Brexit process as Prime Minister May triggered Article 50 – setting the stage for the nation’s departure from the European Union (E.U.) – and gilt (i.e. U.K. government bond) yields declined.

Fixed income markets continued to post positive returns through the second quarter as generally solid corporate earnings trumped concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S. In the U.S., political controversies – in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election – led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets started pointing to a less accommodative stance. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates in June, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and laid out a plan for tapering its asset purchases while Bank of England Governor Carney indicated rate increases would be looming in the U.K. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its inflation forecasts, triggering

speculation that it might postpone the tapering of asset purchases that had been expected later this year.

At the end of the period, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and serial disappointments in inflation data helped to contain the increase in sovereign debt yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. Generally strong economic data, a rally in commodities prices, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets. The Fed announced it would begin tapering its asset purchases starting in October and continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Tax-exempt municipal bonds, as represented by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Municipal Securities Index, posted a positive total return of 2.11% during the period. The yield on 10-year AAA rated general obligation municipal bonds (GOs) increased during the twelve-month period as did the yield on 10-year Treasuries. The ratio of yields on 10-year AAA rated GOs to yields on 10-year Treasuries decreased over the period, falling from 94.0% to 84.5%. Over the period, technical factors were generally positive as demand for municipal funds and individual bonds was relatively strong while supply was measured.

The Fund’s inflation overlay – which is implemented via Consumer Price Index (CPI) swap derivatives – was the main driver of outperformance during the period, as longer term inflation expectations increased during the period. Security selection within investment grade general obligation bonds also contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns over the period. An out-of-benchmark allocation to high yield revenue bonds detracted from relative performance over the period. The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning also detracted slightly from relative performance.

Outside of the CPI swaps previously mentioned, 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 expect the U.S. economy to maintain a steady growth rate, driven by employment gains, elevated confidence, and investment spending. We ended the period with a moderately pro-cyclical risk

posture. We believe fundamentals remain strong across our favored revenue sectors relative to state and local issuers. We expect revenue bond fundamentals to remain positive as hospitals remain fundamentally strong, but we believe that financial results have seen their peak. Furthermore, ongoing healthcare repeal risk remains. Within transportation, we remain positive on airports and toll roads with a slight preference for toll roads as we believe fundamentals and spread levels are modestly more attractive for toll road bonds than they are for the airport sector. We believe that toll road revenues continue to grow as auto travel remains strong.

Breakevens, the difference between the yield on a nominal fixed-rate bond and the real yield on an inflation-linked bond, recovered from weakness incurred in the second quarter of 2017, as CPI data improved and expectations of fiscal policy implementation improved. Though the 2017 inflation outlook has softened over the course of the year, we remain constructive on longer-term breakeven valuations. We believe that core inflation should continue to move towards two percent, supported by a strong housing market and wage growth. Proposed stimulative fiscal policies (tax and spending) represent potential inflationary pressures for the U.S. and contribute to inflation risks being skewed to the upside.

We maintained the Fund’s inflation sensitivity during the period via the inflation overlay, with the hedge ratio at approximately 73% on a contribution to duration basis at the end of the period. The Fund ended the period with a duration of 4.80 years.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. The value of inflation-protected securities generally fluctuates with changes in real interest rates and the market for these securities may be less developed or liquid, and more volatile, than other securities markets. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Municipal Short Duration Fund returned 0.81%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Short 1-5 Year Index, which returned 1.26% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 0.88% average return of the Lipper Short Municipal Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

would begin tapering its asset purchases starting in October and continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Tax-exempt municipal bonds, as represented by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Municipal Securities Index, posted a positive total return of 2.11% during the period. The yield on 10-year AAA rated general obligation municipal bonds (GOs) increased during the twelve-month period as did the yield on 10-year Treasuries. The ratio of yields on 10-year AAA rated GOs to yields on 10-year Treasuries decreased over the period, falling from 94.0% to 84.5%. Over the period, technical factors were generally positive as demand for municipal funds and individual bonds was relatively strong while supply was measured.

An out-of-benchmark allocation to high yield revenue bonds detracted from returns relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Short 1-5 Year Index during the period. Duration and yield curve positioning also detracted from benchmark-relative results. The Fund’s allocation to and security selection within investment grade revenue bonds contributed positively to relative returns over the period, specifically within the transportation and special tax sectors. Security selection within investment grade general obligation bonds also contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns 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 expect the U.S. economy to maintain a steady growth rate, driven by employment gains, elevated confidence, and investment spending. We ended the period with a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture and believe this positioning is appropriate going forward. We believe fundamentals remain strong across our favored revenue sectors relative to state and local issuers. Within transportation, we remain positive on airports and toll roads with a slight preference for toll roads as we believe fundamentals and spread levels are modestly more attractive for toll road bonds than they are for the airport sector. Overall enplanement (passenger) growth has slowed compared to recent quarters but is still positive. We believe that toll road revenues

continue to grow as auto travel remains strong. Within GO credits, we are positive on select state and local issuers, supported by adequate reserve levels, steady revenue growth, and more stable fiscal conditions. The Fund ended the period with a duration of 2.37 years.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Quality Bond Fund returned -0.35%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.90% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 1.31% average return of the Lipper Core Bond Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations at the beginning of the period. Optimism that the policy would emphasize tax reforms and deregulation boosted credit markets. Robust economic data in the first quarter of 2017 and demand for yield-producing assets continued to support credit

markets. In the U.S., President Trump’s failure to secure a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in Congress cast doubt on prospects for his other policy agendas, reversing some of the post-election selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The United Kingdom (U.K.) took the next step in the Brexit process as Prime Minister May triggered Article 50 – setting the stage for the nation’s departure from the European Union (E.U.) – and gilt (i.e., U.K. government bond) yields declined.

Fixed income markets continued to post positive returns through the second quarter as generally solid corporate earnings trumped concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S. In the U.S., political controversies – in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election – led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets started pointing to a less accommodative stance. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates three times during the period, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and began tapering its asset purchases in October. The Bank of England also increased rates for the first time in more than ten years to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook. The European Central Bank (ECB) also announced it would reduce its asset purchases beginning in January 2018, but extended the program until September 2018. At the end of the period, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and serial disappointments in inflation data helped to contain the increase in sovereign debt yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. Generally strong economic data, a rally in commodities prices, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets.

Over the period, most currencies strengthened over the U.S. dollar (USD). To start off the period, most currencies weakened versus the USD, particularly those of emerging markets, over concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on U.S. trade partners after the election of Donald Trump. However, these currencies and most developed market currencies strengthened against the USD during the remainder of the period as the market became skeptical about the Fed’s projected rate-hiking path and a number of developed central banks began to reduce monetary easing policies.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Mortgage backed securities (MBS), as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. MBS Fixed Rate Index, returned 0.53% for the period,

while they lagged duration-equivalent Treasuries. The sector underperformed following the U.S. elections in November 2016 amid a spike in realized volatility and a sharp sell-off in U.S. Treasury yields. The sector later recouped some of its poor performance as volatility subsided and interest rates stabilized and remained range-bound between 2.05% and 2.42%. Later in the period, the MBS market took the U.S. Federal Reserve’s balance sheet normalization (i.e., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) announcement in stride thanks to the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) well-telegraphed and gradual plan for tapering its MBS reinvestments. Within the sector, middle coupons (3.5 and 4.0) performed the best, 30-year pass-throughs outperformed 15-years, and Ginnie Mae MBS significantly lagged conventional MBS (Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae) amid a lack of demand from banks and overseas investors.

Over the twelve-month period, the Fund’s structural avoidance of investment grade (IG) corporate credit detracted from performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as corporate spreads tightened and the sector outperformed government bonds. The Fund’s structural overweight to agency MBS also detracted from performance, in particular the Fund’s overweight to conventional Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae agency pass-throughs, as they underperformed Treasuries on a duration-adjusted basis. The Fund’s selection in conventional agency pass-throughs was also a detractor from relative performance, specifically in 30-year 4.0 coupons and 15-year 2.5 coupons. On the other hand, the Fund’s allocation to non-agency MBS was the largest contributor to relative performance during the period. Allocations to asset-backed securities (ABS) (particularly collateralized loan obligations (CLOs)), Fannie Mae delegated underwriting servicing (DUS) bonds, and commercial MBS were also additive to relative results. A lower structural duration posture verses the index contributed positively to performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as U.S. interest rates rose over the period. The Fund strategically maintains a shorter duration than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, particularly on the long-end of the yield curve where the Fund was most underweight.

The Fund used U.S. Treasury futures to adjust the duration and risk posture of the Fund during the period. Over the period, the use of U.S. Treasury futures detracted from performance. Additionally the Fund used interest rate swaps and an interest rate swaption during the period which slightly detracted from performance of the Fund.

What is the outlook?

We continue to believe that agency MBS represent a better risk/reward trade-off than investment grade credit over a full cycle. Mortgage spreads are narrower than they were over the past few years, which is a reflection of the steady growth, benign inflation, and low volatility environment. At this time, we believe that most of the positive news appears to be priced into the market, making MBS spreads more vulnerable to an increase in volatility. The Fed has

The Hartford Quality Bond Fund

orchestrated a smooth balance-sheet exit so far, judging by the muted agency MBS market response. We plan to be opportunistic in managing the Fund’s MBS exposure, watching spreads and developments on the economic and political fronts to tactically adjust positioning. Longer term, we still expect MBS spreads to remain toward the tight end of their range relative to history.

We have a constructive outlook on most non-agency residential MBS, given the strong performance of the U.S. housing market supporting credit and the positive technical tailwinds. Our longer term commercial MBS outlook is constructive due to favorable fundamentals, though pockets of structural weakness such as retail, U.S. regions affected by soft oil prices, and hurricane-stricken areas, require judicious credit analysis. We are constructive on ABS and CLOs driven by strong fundamentals, balanced somewhat by the later stage of the economic cycle.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. The Fund may use dollar rolls, repurchase agreements, or reverse repurchase agreements, which can increase risk and volatility. The purchase of securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market can result in additional price and counterparty risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. The main risk of real estate related securities is that the value of the underlying real estate may decrease in value. Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Short Duration Fund returned 1.94%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index, which returned 0.67% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 1.62% average return of the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Over the period, most currencies strengthened over the U.S. dollar (USD). To start off the period, most currencies weakened versus the USD, particularly those of emerging markets, over concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on U.S. trade partners after the election of Donald Trump. However, these currencies and most developed market currencies strengthened against the USD during the remainder of the period as the market became skeptical about the Fed’s projected rate-hiking path and a number of developed central banks began to reduce monetary easing policies.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in most global government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

The Fund’s out-of-benchmark allocation to bank loans was the primary driver of outperformance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index over the period. The Fund’s overweight to investment grade credit, in particular Financials issuers, also contributed positively to benchmark-relative outperformance over the period. In addition, the Fund’s allocation to asset-backed securities (ABS), specifically collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), contributed positively to relative returns, while an allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) detracted from performance. Duration and yield curve positioning also contributed positively to benchmark relative returns for 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 will continue its positive growth trajectory, driven by elevated confidence, employment gains, and investment spending. We continue to expect core inflation to rise toward 2%, underpinned by strong labor and housing markets and a weak USD.

The Fed’s tightening trajectory is well-understood. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has completed two out of three proposed interest rate increases for 2017. We expect they will increase once more before year-end. As a result, the Fund is positioned with a short duration bias.

We maintain a moderately pro-cyclical positioning in the corporate bond sector, continuing to favor U.S. Financials, based on what we consider to be a positive U.S. economic growth trajectory, strong corporate fundamentals, and a solid technical backdrop. However, our view is somewhat tempered by tight valuations. We are constructive on the ABS sector based on what we consider to be

steady U.S. economic growth, strengthening employment, and a strong U.S. consumer, although our positive view is somewhat tempered by the later stage of the current cycle. Within the sector, we favor auto, credit card, and equipment ABS deals. Our longer-term commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) outlook is constructive based on what we consider to be favorable commercial Real Estate fundamentals and attractive valuations. We are positive on bank loans due both to their diversification benefits, as well as their floating-rate nature which has benefited from increased U.S. Libor rates.

At the end of the period, the Fund was positioned with a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture, favoring the credit and securitized sectors. Specifically, the Fund maintained exposure to bank loans and remained overweight investment grade corporate credit, favoring Financials issuers. The Fund also maintained allocations to agency MBS, and non-agency on continued strength in the housing market. We also continued to favor consumer ABS, higher quality CLOs, as well as senior tranches of short-dated commercial MBS.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes and/or portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Bank loans can be difficult to value and highly illiquid; they are subject to credit risk and risks of bankruptcy and insolvency. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities’ risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Strategic Income Fund returned 7.26%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.90% for the same period. During the period, the Fund also outperformed the 5.09% average return of the Lipper Multi-Sector Income Funds peer group, a group of funds that seeks current income by allocating assets among several different fixed income securities sectors (with no more than 65% in any one sector except for defensive purposes), including U.S. government and foreign governments, with a significant portion of assets in securities rated below investment-grade.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses. Global sovereign debt

yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations. Optimism that the policy would emphasize tax reforms and deregulation boosted credit markets. Robust economic data in the first quarter of 2017 and demand for yield-producing assets continued to support credit markets. In the U.S., President Trump’s failure to secure a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in Congress cast doubt on prospects for his other policy agendas, reversing some of the post-election selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The United Kingdom (U.K.) took the next step in the Brexit process as Prime Minister May triggered Article 50 – setting the stage for the nation’s departure from the European Union (E.U.) – and gilt (i.e. U.K. government bond) yields declined.

Fixed income markets continued to post positive returns through the second quarter of 2017 as generally solid corporate earnings trumped concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S. Political controversies – in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election –

led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets started pointing to a less accommodative stance. The Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates three times during the period, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and began tapering its asset purchases. The Bank of England also increased rates for the first time in more than ten years to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook. The European Central Bank (ECB) also announced it would reduce its asset purchases beginning in January 2018, but extended the program until September 2018.

At the end of the period, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and serial disappointments in inflation data helped to contain the increase in sovereign debt yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. Generally strong economic data, a rally in commodities prices, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets.

Over the period, most currencies strengthened over the U.S. dollar (USD). To start off the period, most currencies weakened versus the USD, particularly those of emerging markets, over concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on U.S. trade partners after the election of Donald Trump. However, these currencies and most developed market currencies strengthened against the USD during the remainder of the period as the market became skeptical about the Fed’s projected rate-hiking path and a number of developed central banks began to reduce monetary easing policies.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Consistent with the Fund’s objective to provide current income and long-term total return, we continued to position the Fund with an overweight to credit risk sectors, including high yield credit, emerging markets debt, and bank loans. The primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index over the period was out-of-benchmark allocations to non-agency mortgage backed securities (MBS) and bank loans. The Fund also benefited from an overweight to and security selection within emerging markets debt during the period, including U.S. dollar-denominated sovereigns and to a lesser extent, local currency debt. An out-of-benchmark allocation to high yield financial corporates was also additive during the period.

The Fund’s underweight to investment grade corporate bonds detracted from relative performance during the period. An overweight

allocation to commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) also negatively affected relative performance. We continue to be biased towards the intermediate portion of the yield curve. The Fund’s overweight to the 5-year and 10-year portion of the yield curve detracted from returns relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as interest rates rose during the period. Derivative exposure to high yield credit default swap indexes (CDX) contributed positively to relative performance.

Derivative exposure to currency forwards and investment grade corporate credit default swap indexes helped relative returns.

What is the outlook?

We believe the U.S. economy will maintain positive growth and we maintain a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture. We expect the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) to continue increasing towards two percent, year-over-year, and as of the end of the period the Fund was positioned for a moderate additional increase in inflation expectations. We maintained a modest underweight exposure in the Fund to investment grade corporates in favor of higher yielding sectors such as high yield and banks loans. We believe that Emerging Market (EM) real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is picking up and we maintained the Fund’s exposure to EM debt. The Fund is also underweight agency MBS as of the end of the period, but owned structured finance tied to residential mortgages and high quality Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs). At the end of the period, we maintained a structural emphasis in the Fund on higher income-producing sectors such as bank loans, high yield, contingent convertible securities (CoCos), EM debt, and non-agency MBS.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes and/or portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Bank loans can be difficult to value and highly illiquid; they are subject to credit risk and risks of bankruptcy and insolvency. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. The Fund may purchase securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market, which can subject the Fund to additional price and counterparty risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund returned 2.19%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.90% for the same period. The Fund also outperformed the 1.31% average return of the Lipper Core Bond Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever quarterly losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations at the beginning of the period.

aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets started pointing to a less accommodative stance. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) increased rates three times during the period, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and began tapering its asset purchases in October. The Bank of England also increased rates for the first time in more than ten years to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook. The European Central Bank (ECB) also announced it would reduce its asset purchases beginning in January 2018, but extended the program until September 2018.

On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

The primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance versus the benchmark was the out-of-benchmark allocation to non-agency mortgage backed securities (MBS) and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Security selection in investment grade credit, particularly within the Financials and Industrials sectors, also contributed positively to relative performance. High yield positioning was also additive to results. Positive results from exposure to bank loans, BB-rated high yield bonds, and European financials, were only partially offset by the Fund’s derivative hedges, implemented through credit default swap indices (CDX). The Fund’s opportunistic interest rate positioning, which was implemented partially through interest rate swaps and bond futures, represented another positive contributor to relative performance as rates on the short-end of the yield curve, where the Fund was underweight duration, rose over this period. The Fund’s allocation to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) was a detractor from relative performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

During the period, we continued to position the Fund with a moderately pro-cyclical risk posture in credit markets, based on what we considered to be positive U.S. economic growth momentum. The Fund is positioned for a moderate additional increase in inflation expectations as we expect core Consumer Price Index (CPI) to increase toward 2% year-over-year. The Fund ended the period with an underweight positioning in investment grade credit relative to the benchmark and continued to favor Financials issuers. Within securitized products, the Fund held an overweight to agency mortgage-backed securities and maintained an out-of-benchmark allocation to select non-agency RMBS. The Fund also held commercial mortgage-backed securities and CLOs. Within high yield, we continued to favor BB rated securities and bank loans, and the Fund held contingent convertibles (CoCos) of large European banks. The Fund also continued to hold select exposure to emerging markets debt in countries where we believe valuations are attractive.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes and/or portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. The Fund may purchase securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market, which can subject the Fund to additional price and counterparty risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. The Fund has the ability to invest in foreign and emerging-market bonds. Investments in these securities generally involve greater risk, volatility, and possibility of loss. Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford World Bond Fund returned 0.87%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, which returned 0.23% for the same period. The Fund underperformed the 3.13% average return of the Lipper Global Income Funds peer group, a group of funds that invests primarily in U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar debt securities of issuers located in at least three countries, one of which may be the United States, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the period, global fixed income markets were influenced by a rebound in global growth, central bank monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical events. The period began with fixed income markets experiencing one of their largest ever losses. Global sovereign debt yields climbed, led by the United States (U.S.), as President-elect Trump’s proposed expansionary fiscal policy lifted inflation expectations. Optimism that policy would emphasize tax reforms and deregulation boosted credit markets. Robust economic data in the first quarter and demand for yield-producing assets continued to support credit markets. In the U.S., President Trump’s failure to secure a repeal of the Affordable Care Act in Congress cast doubt on

prospects for his other policy agendas, reversing some of the post-election selloff in U.S. Treasuries. The United Kingdom (U.K.) took the next step in the process of exiting the European Union (E.U.) (known as “Brexit”) as Prime Minister May triggered Article 50 – setting the stage for the nation’s departure from the E.U. – and gilt yields declined.

Fixed income markets continued to post positive returns through the second quarter as generally solid corporate earnings trumped concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the U.S. In the U.S., political controversies – in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election – led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the U.K. presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Monetary policy developments among developed markets started pointing to a less accommodative stance The Fed increased rates in June 2017, projected an additional increase later in 2017, and laid out a plan for tapering its asset purchases while Bank of England Governor Carney indicated rate increases would be looming in the U.K. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its inflation forecasts, triggering speculation that it might postpone the tapering of asset purchases that had been expected later this year.

At the end of the period, escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, and serial disappointments in inflation data helped to contain the increase in sovereign debt yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. Generally strong economic data, a rally in commodities prices, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets. The Fed announced it would begin tapering its asset purchases starting in October 2017 and continued to project another rate increase later this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled it was close to hiking rates to contain surging inflation despite uncertainty about the post-Brexit growth outlook.

Over the period, most currencies strengthened over the U.S. dollar (USD). To start off the period, most currencies weakened versus the USD, particularly those of emerging markets, over concerns about the impact of protectionist policies on U.S. trade partners after the election of Donald Trump. However, these currencies and most developed market currencies strengthened against the USD during the remainder of the period as the market became skeptical about the Fed’s projected rate-hiking path and a number of developed market central banks turned more and a number of developed central banks began to reduce monetary easing policies.

Absolute returns in the major fixed income credit risk sectors were positive during the twelve-month period, aided by the decline in government bond yields. On an excess return basis, most credit risk sectors posted positive returns over the twelve-month period, including high yield, emerging markets debt, and investment grade corporates, as credit spreads tightened over the period on the back of strong global economic data and demand for yield-producing assets.

Note that the Fund is managed to seek capital appreciation and, secondly, income. For the twelve-month period, interest rate positioning and credit strategies contributed positively to total returns, while currency strategies detracted from total returns. Relative to the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, interest rate positioning contributed positively to performance, particularly late in 2016 as interest rates in the U.S. rose, while currency positioning detracted from performance, due to the Fund’s larger USD allocation.

Within country strategies, the Fund’s core allocation to developed sovereign governments was a positive contributor to total returns over the period as most sovereign debt yields, particularly those in the dollar bloc, declined. Within macro-based duration strategies, underweight positions in Eurozone countries, particularly Germany, detracted from absolute performance over the period. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight duration positions in the U.S. and U.K. detracted from absolute performance during the first couple of months of the year due to increasing doubts in the ability of the new U.S. administration to deliver on expansionary fiscal policies. The Fund’s long Canada 10-year versus short Germany and U.S. 10-year positions, held primarily during the third quarter of 2017, detracted from absolute performance as Canadian rates moved higher after the Bank of Canada (BoC) chose to raise rates twice during the quarter.

Against the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, not holding any duration exposure to Japanese Government Bonds (JGB) contributed positively, as JGB yields largely increased.

The Fund’s currency strategies provided negative total returns. The Fund’s high USD exposure helped preserve capital in the last two months of 2016, given the strong appreciation in the USD after the U.S. presidential elections. Early in 2017, the Fund’s allocation to the Canadian dollar detracted, as did an overweight USD position versus the Euro and Yen in our macro-driven strategies, as the USD depreciated. This was somewhat offset by positive results from an opportunistic overweight to the Mexican dollar versus Australian dollar, as emerging market currencies started to rebound after investors became less concerned about protectionist policies from the Trump administration. Over the last half of the period, the Fund’s allocation to Euro area currencies, such as the Swedish Krona and Norwegian Krone, contributed positively as the currencies appreciated. Relative to the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, the Fund’s higher exposure to the USD drove relative underperformance as most currencies appreciated versus the USD.

Within the Fund’s credit strategies, the Fund’s out-of-benchmark opportunistic allocations to high yield and securitized debt contributed positively to absolute returns and returns relative to the Citigroup World Government Bond Index. Optimism around global growth and a preference for yield by investors supported most credit performance. The Fund’s exposure to investment grade corporates also contributed positively to performance.

During the period, we used derivatives in the Fund, primarily currency forwards and exchange-traded government bond futures, but also in small part credit default swaps, index credit default swaps and, interest rate, bond, index and currency futures and/or options in pursuit of the investment objective as well as to hedge against risk.

The Fund’s macro-driven duration strategies, which are primarily implemented through the use of exchange-traded government bond futures and cash bonds contributed positively to total returns over the period; the Fund’s country rotation strategies, which are also implemented through exchange-traded government bond futures, detracted from performance. The Fund’s macro-driven and smart market currency strategies, which are implemented through currency forwards, detracted over the period, while the Fund’s credit positioning, which is implemented through the use of cash bonds, credit default swaps (index and single name), and interest rate swaps, contributed positively to returns over the period.

What is the outlook?

We believe there is a shift towards tighter monetary policy and looser fiscal policy in major developed markets. The past nine years have been characterized by expanding central bank balance sheets, stagnant productivity and a lack of inflation. These themes have dominated financial markets, squashed volatility and suppressed bond yields. Looking ahead, it feels like we are entering a new phase

where the above factors are beginning to shift. Global central bank balance sheets are slowly coming off the peak, the Fed and the BoC have started lifting policy rates, the Trump administration is pushing to reduce the regulatory burden, capital expenditures intentions are lifting, fiscal policy plans suggest a number of countries are looking to stimulate, and there are signs that companies may be looking to deepen their capital stock, which we believe may boost productivity over time.

We believe that the missing link that is helping to keep bond yields low in the face of these shifts remains wages and core inflation. However, with the U.S. set to deploy a large fiscal stimulus at a time when the unemployment rate is below long-run estimates, this could exacerbate labor shortages and eventually lead to higher wages and core inflation risks. Even in Europe, one feature of the recent cycle has been the sharp rise in reported capacity constraints and a general pick-up in price expectations. If that keeps developing, it could drive ECB to exit quantitative easing more quickly, leading to potentially higher European rates. Global inflation is stable, but still below its long run average, and it is not yet showing any signs of significant acceleration. We believe that determining whether 2018 sees another ‘sweet spot’ for risk assets relies on whether or not we see the lift in productivity that would help contain inflation and lead to a gradual monetary tightening cycle.

The broad U.S. dollar index has rebounded late in the period, driven by several factors, including prospects for U.S. tax reform, stronger-than-expected U.S. data in the face of hurricanes, the Fed’s hiking cycle, hopes of tighter monetary policy implemented by a Fed chair appointee, and renewed European political concerns. We think that two developments need to gather more momentum for this dollar rally to last – U.S. tax reform and wage/consumer price index (CPI) pressures. Otherwise, the U.S. dollar rally may soon begin to weaken. We think both tax reform prospects and U.S. wage pressures can lift a bit more from here, but our conviction is low. Our base case remains that Fed balance sheet normalization (i.e., a process of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet) will not be a market-moving event in the coming weeks after October 31, 2017 given how gradual the reduction will be. However, the start of Fed normalization makes the U.S. Treasury market and, by association, any derivatives of this market much more vulnerable to exogenous shocks such as U.S. CPI pressures or an increase in fiscal spending. Among European currencies, we continue to favor currencies of small open economies around the euro area, including the Swedish krona and the Norwegian krone. Our bias is still for some GBP weakness through year-end as Brexit negotiations falter, economic data weakens further, and the Tory party fractures.

We maintain a positive outlook for the credit cycle and see room for further spread tightening. We continue to see the most compelling corporate credit investment opportunities in Europe and the U.S. The strength of the European economic cycle along with continuing monetary accommodation from the ECB create an environment

conducive to further European corporate bond spread tightening. U.S. economic activity remains solid and is expected to accelerate thanks to the corporate tax cuts and financial sector deregulation we anticipate.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes and/or portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund is non-diversified, so it may be more exposed to the risks associated with individual issuers than a diversified fund. Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, if any, and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC), if any, 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 May 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017. To the extent a Fund was subject to acquired fund fees and expenses during the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio below.

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) and CDSC. 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 Hartford Floating Rate Fund

Schedule of Investments – (continued)

October 31, 2017

 

 

 

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

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

 

     Other than the industry classifications “Other Investment Pools & Funds,” equity industry classifications used in this report are the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and service mark of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

 

     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.

 

* Non-income producing.

 

(1)  Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $211,021,300, which represented 5.1% of total net assets.

 

(2)  Security has the ability to pay in kind (“PIK”) or pay income in cash. When applicable, separate rates of such payments are disclosed.

 

(3)  Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2017.

 

(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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $28,846,774, which represented 0.7% of total net assets.

 

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

 

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

 

(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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(9)  Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(10)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(11)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $27,170,214, which represented 0.7% 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.

 

(12)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $27,170,214, which represents 0.7% of total net assets.

 

(13) Current yield as of period end.

(1)  For the year ended October 31, 2017, investments valued at $1,428,691 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the initiation of a vendor providing pricing; investments valued at $3,892,849 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to the initiation of a vendor providing prices that are based on market activity which has been determined to be significant observable inputs; investments valued at $1,168,538 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to the unavailability of active market pricing.

 

(2) Derivative instruments (excluding purchased and written options, if applicable) are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the investments.

Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended October 31, 2017 is not presented.

 

Note: For purposes of reporting transfers between different hierarchy levels, both transfers in and out of each level, as applicable, are shown as if they occurred at the beginning of the period.

Schedule of Investments – (continued)

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

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

 

     Other than the industry classifications “Other Investment Pools & Funds,” equity industry classifications used in this report are the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and service mark of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

 

     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.

 

* Non-income producing.

 

(1)  Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $39,048,438, which represented 7.6% of total net assets.

 

(2)  Security has the ability to pay in kind (“PIK”) or pay income in cash. When applicable, separate rates of such payments are disclosed.

 

(3)  Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2017.

 

(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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $3,537,010, which represented 0.7% of total net assets.

 

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

 

(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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(8)  Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(9)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(10)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $5,000,005, which represents 1.0% of total net assets.

 

(11)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $5,000,005, which represented 1.0% 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.

(1)  For the year ended October 31, 2017, investments valued at $714,340 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the initiation of a vendor providing pricing; investments valued at $786,091 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to the initiation of a vendor providing prices that are based on market activity which has been determined to be significant observable inputs.

 

(2)  Derivative instruments (excluding purchased and written options, if applicable) are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the investments.

Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended October 31, 2017 is not presented.

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 identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $542,539, which represents 0.1% of total net assets.

 

(5)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $542,539, which represented 0.1% 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.

 

(6)  Security has the ability to pay in kind (“PIK”) or pay income in cash. When applicable, separate rates of such payments are disclosed.

 

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

 

(8)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $8,743,340, which represented 2.4% of total net assets.

 

(9)  Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2017.

 

(10)  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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(11)  Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(12)  Security is a zero-coupon bond.

 

(13)  Current yield as of period end.

(3)  Security is a “step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate.

 

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

 

(5)  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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(6)  Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

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

 

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

 

(9)  The rate shown represents current yield to maturity.

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

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

 

     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.

 

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

 

(1) Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $282,185,204, which represented 30.5% of total net assets.

 

(2) Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2017.

 

(3) Variable or floating rate security, which interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.

 

(4) 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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $0, which represented 0.0% 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.

 

(5) This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $0, which represents 0.0% of total net assets.

 

(6)  Securities disclosed are interest-only strips.

 

(7)  Security disclosed is principal-only strips.

 

(8)  Security is a zero-coupon bond.

 

(9)  Security is a “step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate.

 

(10)  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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(11)  Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(12)  Represents or includes a TBA transaction.

 

(13)  Current yield as of period end.

 

(14)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

     The Fund may refer to any one or more of the industry classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indices, ratings group 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.

 

Non-income producing.

 

(1)  Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $93,101,563, which represented 18.5% of total net assets.

 

(2)  Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2017.

 

(3)  Security is a “step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate.

 

(4)  Variable or floating rate security, which interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.

 

(5)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $434,032, which represented 0.1% 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.

 

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

 

(7)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $434,032, which represents 0.1% of total net assets.

 

(8)  Securities disclosed are interest-only strips.

 

(9)  This security, or a portion of this security, was purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or delayed-draw basis. The cost of this security was $14,560,280 at October 31, 2017.

 

(10)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $86,450,856, which represented 17.2% of total net assets.

 

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

 

(12)  Security is a zero-coupon bond.

 

(13)  The principal amount for this security is adjusted for inflation and the interest payments equal a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount.

 

(14)  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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(15)  Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(16)  Securities disclosed are principal-only strips.

 

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

 

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

 

(19)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(20)  The rate shown represents current yield to maturity.

(1)  For the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, investments valued at $171,048 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to the initiation of a vendor providing prices that are based on market activity which has been determined to be significant observable inputs and and investments valued at $2,234 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to the unavailability of active market pricing.

 

(2)  Derivative instruments (excluding purchased and written options, if applicable) are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the investments.

Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended October 31, 2017 is not presented.

 

Note: For purposes of reporting transfers between different hierarchy levels, both transfers in and out of each level, as applicable, are shown as if they occurred at the beginning of the 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 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.

 

* Non-income producing.

 

(1) Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $734,576,688, which represented 32.4% of total net assets.

 

(2) Security is a “step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate.

 

(3) Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2017.

 

(4) Variable or floating rate security, which interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.

 

(5) This security, or a portion of this security, was purchased on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or delayed-draw basis. The cost of this security was $620,218,918 at October 31, 2017.

 

(6) Securities disclosed are interest-only strips.

 

(7) Security is a zero-coupon bond.

 

(8) 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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $26,780,275, which represented 1.2% of total net assets.

 

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

 

(10) The rate shown represents current yield to maturity.

 

(11) 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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(12) Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(13) Securities disclosed are principal-only strips.

 

(14) Represents or includes a TBA transaction.

 

(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.

 

(17) The principal amount for this security is adjusted for inflation and the interest payments equal a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount.

 

(18)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(19) This security is 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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of this security was $0, which represented 0.0% 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.

 

(20)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $0, which represents 0.0% of total net assets.

(1)  For the year ended October 31, 2017, investments valued at $2,555 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to the unavailability of active market pricing; investments valued at $84,917 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to the initiation of a vendor providing prices that are based on market activity which has been determined to be significant observable inputs and there were no transfers in and out of Level 1.

 

(2)  Derivative instruments (excluding purchased and written options, if applicable) are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the investments.

Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended October 31, 2017 is not presented.

 

Note: For purposes of reporting transfers between different hierarchy levels, both transfers in and out of each level, as applicable, are shown as if they occurred at the beginning of the period.

The Hartford World Bond Fund

Schedule of Investments – (continued)

October 31, 2017

 

 

 

 

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

     The Fund may refer to any one or more of the industry classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indices, ratings group 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.

 

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

 

(1)  Non-income producing.

 

(2)  Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $905,052,799, which represented 22.4% of total net assets.

 

(3)  Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2017.

 

(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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $908,666,849, which represented 22.5% of total net assets.

 

(5) Variable or floating rate security, which interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.

 

(6) Security is a “step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate.

 

(7) Securities disclosed are interest-only strips.

 

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

 

(9) Security has the ability to pay in kind (“PIK”) or pay income in cash. When applicable, separate rates of such payments are disclosed.

 

(10) Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(11) This security is 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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of this security was $0, which represented 0.0% 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.

 

(12) This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $0, which represents 0.0% of total net assets.

 

(13) 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 rate in effect as of October 31, 2017.

 

(14) Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(15) Security is a zero-coupon bond.

 

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

 

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

 

(18)  Current yield as of period end.

The assets of each Fund are separate, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Each Fund, except Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund and World Bond Fund, is a diversified open-end management investment company. Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund and World Bond Fund, are non-diversified open-end management investment companies. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Each Fund has registered for sale Class A, Class T, Class C, Class I and Class F shares. As of October 31, 2017, Class T shares have not commenced operations. In addition, each Fund, except Municipal Income Fund, Municipal Opportunities Fund, Municipal Real Return Fund and Municipal Short Duration Fund, offer Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5 shares. Each Fund has registered for sale Class Y shares, except Municipal Income Fund, Municipal Opportunities Fund and Municipal Short Duration Fund. Strategic Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and World Bond Fund has registered for sale Class R6 shares. Class A shares of each Fund, except Floating Rate Fund, Floating Rate High Income Fund and Short Duration Fund, are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. Class T shares of each Fund have a front-end sales charge of up to 2.50%. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.00% for Floating Rate Fund and Floating Rate High Income Fund and up to 2.00% for Short Duration Fund. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Classes I, R3, R4, R5, R6, Y and F shares are sold without a sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, redemption, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, with the exceptions that each class may have different expenses, which may affect performance.

Any remaining Class B shares converted to Class A shares on September 19, 2017. Class B shares are no longer offered for sale. Class B shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which was assessed on the lesser of the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares at the time of redemption or the original purchase price, and declined from 5.00% to zero, depending on the period of time the shares were held.

 

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.

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

October 31, 2017

 

 

 

 

  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 – Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each Underlying Fund as determined as of the NYSE Close on the Valuation Date. Such open-end mutual funds may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses. For purposes of calculating the NAV of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in the Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported trade prices or official close price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices 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 security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the respective Company’s Board of Directors. Market prices are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker 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 holdings or assets. In addition, market prices are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities or other instruments 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 will generally 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. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments 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 holding is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair 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 and senior floating rate interests), non-exchange traded derivatives and centrally cleared swaps held by a Fund are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services 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 obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. 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. Generally, a Fund may use fair valuation in regard to fixed income positions when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed investments or investments in a company in which a reorganization is pending. 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 exceeded 60 days.

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 a last trade price is not available, the value will be 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 options privately negotiated in the OTC market (“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 securities or other instruments 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.

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. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of such 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.

 

  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.

October 31, 2017

 

 

 

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. A Fund may also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends from securities in which the Fund invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and 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 – A 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 shareholders. 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 of the Fund. 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. Normally, for each Fund, except Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Strategic Income Fund, and World Bond Fund, dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. The policy of Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund and Strategic Income Fund is to declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. The policy of World Bond Fund is to declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly. Dividends from realized gains, if any, are paid 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) 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 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 October 31, 2017.

 

  b) 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-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 October 31, 2017.

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. These transactions are excluded from a Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for TBA commitments as of October 31, 2017.

 

  c) Senior Floating Rate Interests – Certain Funds may invest in senior floating rate interests. Senior floating rate interests generally 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 October 31, 2017.

 

  d)

Mortgage Related and Other Asset Backed Securities – A Fund 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

 

 

  296  

 


Hartford Funds - Fixed Income Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

  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 October 31, 2017.

 

  e) Inflation Indexed Bonds – A Fund 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 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 October 31, 2017.

 

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) Bond Forwards – A Fund may enter into bond forwards. A bond forward is a contractual agreement between a Fund and another party to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed-upon future price and date. In a bond forward transaction, no cash premium is paid when the parties enter into the bond forward. If the transaction is collateralized, an exchange of margin collateral will take place according to an agreed-upon schedule. Otherwise, no asset of any kind changes hands until the bond forward matures (typically in 30 days) or is rolled over for another agreed-upon period. Generally, the value of the bond forward will change based on changes in the value of the underlying asset. Bond forwards are subject to market risk (the risk that the market value of the underlying bond may change), non-correlation risk (the risk that the market value of the bond forward might move independently of the market value of the underlying bond) and counterparty credit risk (the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its obligation under the contract). If there is no cash exchanged at the time a Fund enters into the bond forward, counterparty risk may be limited to the loss of any marked-to-market profit on the contract and any delays or limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell or otherwise use the investments used as collateral for the bond forward.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Inflation Plus Fund had engaged in Bond Forwards.

 

  b) 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 may be used in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities 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. Upon entering into a foreign currency contract, a Fund may be required to post margin equal to its outstanding exposure thereunder.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Floating Rate Fund, Floating Rate High Income Fund, High Yield Fund, Inflation Plus Fund, Quality Bond Fund, Short Duration Fund Strategic Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and World Bond Fund had engaged in Foreign Currency Contracts.

 

  c) 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 risk 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 and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value (“variation margin”) is paid or received 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.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Inflation Plus Fund, Quality Bond Fund, Short Duration Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and World Bond Fund had engaged in Futures Contracts.

 

  d) 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 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 segregate or earmark cash or other liquid investments having, for written call options, a value equal to the greater of the exercise price or the market value of the underlying instrument and, for written put options, a value equal to the exercise price. Writing put options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options may decrease 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 may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options may decrease 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 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 OTC 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.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and World Bond Fund had engaged in Options Contracts.

 

  e) 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 through a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“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 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. However, the Fund is still exposed to a certain amount of 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 credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, asset or basket of assets. 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.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, High Yield Fund, Inflation Plus Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and World Bond Fund had engaged in Credit Default Swap Contracts.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts – Certain Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A Fund may use interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate and duration risk across a portfolio at particular duration points to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. 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.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Inflation Plus Fund, Municipal Real Return Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and World Bond Fund had engaged in Interest Rate Swap Contracts.

Total Return Swap Contracts – Certain Funds may invest in total return swap contracts in pursuit of the Fund’s investment objective or for hedging purposes. An investment in a total return swap allows a Fund to gain or mitigate exposure to underlying reference assets. Total return swap contracts involve commitments where cash flows are exchanged based on the price of underlying reference assets and based on a fixed or variable interest rate. One party receives payments based on the price appreciation or depreciation of the underlying reference asset, in exchange for paying to or receiving from the counterparty seller an agreed-upon interest rate. A variable interest rate may be correlated to a base rate, such as the LIBOR, and is adjusted each reset period, which is defined at the beginning of the contract. Therefore, if interest rates increase over the term of the swap contract, the party paying the rate may be required to pay a higher rate at each swap reset date.

Total return swap contracts on indices involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One party pays out the total return of a specific reference asset, which may be an equity, index, or bond, and in return receives a regular stream of payments. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. If the Fund is a payer in a total return swap, it may be subject to unlimited losses. They are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, World Bond Fund had engaged in Total Return Swap Contracts.

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.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Strategic Income Fund and Total Return Bond Fund had engaged in Cross Currency Swaps.

  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 October 31, 2017:

6. Principal Risks:

A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.

The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative 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. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Certain investments held by a Fund expose the Fund to various risks which may include, but are not limited to, interest rate, prepayment, and extension 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.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.

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. 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.

 

7. 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 year. 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, 2017. 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 each Fund.

 

  c) Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings – The tax character of distributions paid by each Fund for the years ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 are as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable, if applicable):

 

    For the Year Ended October 31, 2017     For the Year Ended October 31, 2016

  (1)  The Funds have capital loss carryforwards that are identified in the Capital Loss Carryforward note that follows.
  (2)  Differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) may be attributable to the losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to PFICs, REITs, RICs, certain derivatives and partnerships.

 

  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 of capital loss carryforwards and utilization or write-off of 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 October 31, 2017, 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.

  f) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – Pursuant to provisions set forth by U.S. GAAP, management reviews each Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years. As of October 31, 2017, management 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. Management 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.

 

8. Expenses:

 

  a) Investment Management Agreement – Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“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. HFMC has contracted with Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”) under a sub-advisory agreement and Wellington Management performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to HFMC, a portion of which may be used to compensate Wellington Management.

The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to HFMC for investment management services rendered as of October 31, 2017; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates:

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 a Company are allocated to each series within such Company, and allocated to classes within each such series, in proportion to the average daily net assets of such series and classes, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to a Fund or to specific classes within a Fund. As of October 31, 2017, HFMC contractually limited the total operating expenses of each Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) through February 28, 2018 as follows:

  d) Fees Paid Indirectly – Certain Funds 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 a Fund’s 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, 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:

The Board of Directors of each Company has approved the adoption of a separate distribution plan (each a “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for each of Class A, T, C, R3 and R4 shares. Under a Plan, Class A, Class T, Class C, Class R3 and Class R4 shares of a Fund, as applicable, bear distribution and/or service fees paid to HFD, some of which may be paid to select broker-dealers. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A 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 T Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class T 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. As of October 31, 2017, Class T shares have not commenced operations. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. The Class C Plan also provides that HFD will receive all contingent deferred sales charges attributable to Class C shares. Pursuant to the Class R3 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R3 shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Pursuant to the Class R4 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for distribution financing activities. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Each Fund’s 12b-1 fees are accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the respective Company’s Board of Directors may determine.

As a result of all Class B shares of a Fund being redeemed or converted to Class A shares, September 17, 2017 was the last day such Fund paid 12b-1 fees for Class B shares. Prior to September 17, 2017, pursuant to the Class B Plan, a Fund paid HFD a fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% could be used for shareholder account servicing activities. The Class B Plan also provided that HFD would receive all contingent deferred sales charges attributable to Class B shares. Effective January 1, 2011, there was a reduction in the amount charged in connection with Short Duration Fund’s Class B shares’ Rule 12b-1 fee from 1.00% to 0.25% in accordance with FINRA rules.

 

  f) Other Related Party Transactions – Certain officers of each Company are directors and/or officers of HFMC and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the year ended October 31, 2017, a portion of each Company’s Chief Compliance Officer’s (“CCO”) compensation was paid by all of the investment companies in the Hartford fund complex.

Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to each Fund. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, HASCO contractually agreed to reimburse any portion of the transfer agency fees over 0.30% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for each class. HASCO has contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for Class F shares until February 28, 2018. HASCO has also contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for Class R6 of Strategic Income Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, and World Bond Fund until February 28, 2018. Any transfer agency fee reimbursement is determined before considering the contractual operating expense limitation. For providing such services during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, HASCO was compensated on a per account basis that varies by account type, except with respect to Class Y, for which it was compensated based on average daily net assets. Prior to May 1, 2017, Class Y shares were subject to a fee cap on transfer agency fees. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”), HASCO has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent functions to BFDS. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by HASCO, not by the Funds. The accrued amount shown in the Statements of Operations reflects the amounts charged by HASCO. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the effective rate of compensation paid to HASCO for transfer agency before waivers and/or reimbursements services as a percentage of each Class’s average daily net assets is as follows:

12. Line of Credit:

Each Fund participates in a committed line of credit pursuant to a credit agreement. Each Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds (together with certain other Hartford Funds) may borrow up to $375 million in the aggregate, subject to asset coverage and other limitations specified in the credit agreement. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also charges a commitment fee, which is allocated to each of the funds participating in the line of credit based on average net assets of the funds. During the year ended October 31, 2017, none of the Funds had borrowings under this facility.

 

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, among other things, added as new plaintiffs The Hartford Floating Rate Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund and named as a defendant Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), which assumed the role as investment manager to the funds as of January 2013. In June 2015, HFMC and HIFSCO moved for summary judgment, and plaintiffs cross-moved for partial summary judgment with respect to The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund. In March 2016, the court, in large part, denied summary judgment for all parties. The court granted judgment for HFMC and HIFSCO with respect to all claims made by The Hartford Small Company Fund and certain claims made by The Hartford Floating Rate Fund. The court further ruled that the appropriate measure of damages on the surviving claims is the difference, if any, between the actual advisory fees paid through trial and those that could have been paid under the applicable legal standard. A bench trial on the issue of liability was held in November 2016. On February 28, 2017, the court granted judgment for HIFSCO and HFMC as to all claims. On March 23, 2017, plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. 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.

In July 2007, the Floating Rate Fund and more than 60 other lenders (known collectively as the “Transeastern Lenders”) accepted the payoff of a guarantee from Tousa, Inc. (“Tousa”), a Florida homebuilder. In order to fund the payoff, Tousa borrowed money from certain new lenders and secured the loan by granting liens to the new lenders on the assets of certain Tousa subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”). In January 2008, Tousa filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In July 2008, a committee of creditors of the Subsidiaries (the “Committee”) brought suit in the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”) against the Transeastern Lenders alleging that the Subsidiaries had received no benefit in return for the liens on their assets, that the Subsidiaries were co-borrowers on the loan from the new lenders, and that the Transeastern Lenders received the value of the liens when the Transeastern Lenders accepted the payoff. The Subsidiaries sought the avoidance of their liens and the return of the value of those liens to the bankruptcy estate. On October 13, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the Committee, avoided the liens, and ordered the Transeastern Lenders to return the payoff amount to the bankruptcy estate. The Transeastern Lenders, together with the Fund, appealed the decision to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “District Court”). On February 11, 2011, the District Court ruled in favor of the Transeastern Lenders (including the Fund) and quashed the Bankruptcy Court’s opinion. The Committee appealed to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (the “Eleventh Circuit”), which reinstated the Bankruptcy Court opinion, but remanded back to the District Court on the question of remedies. The District Court then in turn remanded one issue back to the Bankruptcy Court for a report and recommendation. On April 1, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued its report and recommendation, which was unfavorable in many respects to the Transeastern Lenders. On March 8, 2017, the District Court accepted the report and recommendation and ordered the Transeastern Lenders to disgorge and return the payoff amount, plus prejudgment interest. The Transeastern Lenders appealed the District Court’s decision to the Eleventh Circuit.

14. Indemnifications:

Under each Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland General Corporation Law and federal securities laws. In addition, each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, each Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

15. Fund Reorganizations:

At a meeting held May 1-3, 2017, the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (HMF) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization that provided for the reorganization of The Hartford Unconstrained Bond Fund, a series of HMF, into the Strategic Income Fund, a separate series of HMF.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, immediately before the opening of business on September 25, 2017, the Unconstrained Bond Fund transferred all of its assets to the Strategic Income Fund, in exchange for shares of the Strategic Income Fund and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Unconstrained Bond Fund by the Strategic Income Fund.

Immediately before the opening of business on September 25, 2017, the consummation of the reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of the Strategic Income Fund in the following amounts:

Each shareholder of a share class of Unconstrained Bond Fund received shares of the same share class of the Strategic Income Fund with the same class designation and at the respective Class NAV, as determined on the Valuation Date.

Some of the investments held by Unconstrained Bond Fund may have been purchased or sold prior to the acquisition for the purpose of complying with the anticipated investment policies or limitations of the Strategic Income Fund after the acquisition. The legal and shareholder communication expenses relating to the reorganization were borne by HFMC or its affiliates. All other expenses, including brokerage fees and brokerage-related expenses, incurred in connection with the reorganization were borne by each Fund.

As of the Valuation Date the Unconstrained Bond Fund had investments valued at $54,390,666 with a cost basis of $54,411,877. For financial reporting purposes, assets received, liabilities assumed and shares issued by the Strategic Income Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received by the Strategic Income Fund from Unconstrained Bond Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Strategic Income Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

16. Subsequent Events:

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended October 31, 2017, events and transactions subsequent to October 31, 2017, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. The following subsequent events requiring financial statement adjustment or disclosure have been identified.

Effective November 1, 2017, the management fee set forth in the investment management agreement with respect to the Quality Bond Fund is 0.4000% of the first $500 million, 0.3700% of the next $500 million, 0.3400% of the next $4 billion, 0.3300% of the next $5 billion, and 0.3200% in excess of $10 billion annually of the Quality Bond Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, effective November 1, 2017, HFMC has also contractually agreed to reimburse expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain total annual fund operating expenses for the Quality Bond Fund as follows through February 28, 2019: 0.85% (Class A), 0.85% (Class T), 1.60% (Class C), 0.60% (Class I), 1.19% (Class R3), 0.94% (Class R4), 0.64% (Class R5), 0.54% (Class Y) and 0.44% (Class F). This contractual arrangement will renew automatically for one-year terms thereafter unless HFMC provides written notice of termination prior to the start of the next term or upon approval of the Board.

Effective November 1, 2017, the management fee set forth in the investment management agreement with respect to the World Bond Fund is 0.7000% of the first $250 million, 0.6500% of the next $250 million, 0.6000% of the next $3.5 billion, 0.5750% of the next $6 billion, and 0.5725% in excess of $10 billion annually of the World Bond Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective November 1, 2017, each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, entered into an Amended and Restated Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (“Agreement”) with HASCO. Effective November 1, 2017, under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to such Fund. Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to BFDS (and any other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and BFDS (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the applicable Company’s Board; (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin. Effective November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2019, HASCO has also contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fees as follows: 0.25% (Class A), 0.25% (Class T), 0.25% (Class C), 0.20% (Class I), 0.02% (Class R3), 0.02% (Class R4), 0.02% (Class R5), and 0.06% (Class Y). HASCO has also contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for each of Class R6 and Class F shares until February 28, 2018, and thereafter, has agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fee at 0.004% of the average daily net assets for each of Class R6 and Class F shares through February 28, 2019. Each contractual arrangement, except the reimbursement of the entire transfer agency fee for Class R6 and Class F, will automatically renew for one-year terms thereafter unless HASCO provides written notice of termination prior to start of the next term or upon approval of the applicable Board.

The Transeastern Lenders entered into settlement negotiations. On December 19, 2017, the parties to the Tousa matter entered into a settlement agreement. As part of that settlement agreement, the Floating Rate Fund agreed to pay $1,972,739.72, which represents a portion of the proceeds it received as part of the loan guarantee payments. Subject to final approval by the Bankruptcy Court, the settlement agreement will fully release the Floating Rate Fund from any further claims in this matter. Management of the Floating Rate Fund believes that the Bankruptcy Court will likely approve the settlement agreement in January 2018 and that the terms of the settlement agreement will not have a material impact on the Floating Rate Fund’s financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.

 

 

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The Hartford Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, The Hartford Floating Rate Fund, The Hartford Floating Rate High Income Fund, The Hartford High Yield Fund, The Hartford Inflation Plus Fund, Hartford Municipal Income Fund, The Hartford Municipal Opportunities Fund, Hartford Municipal Short Duration Fund, The Hartford Quality Bond Fund, The Hartford Short Duration Fund, The Hartford Strategic Income Fund, The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund, and The Hartford World Bond Fund (thirteen of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.) and The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund (one of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.) (collectively, together with The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc., the “Companies”), as of October 31, 2017, 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the 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 October 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or 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 The Hartford Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, The Hartford Floating Rate Fund, The Hartford Floating Rate High Income Fund, The Hartford High Yield Fund, The Hartford Inflation Plus Fund, Hartford Municipal Income Fund, The Hartford Municipal Opportunities Fund, Hartford Municipal Short Duration Fund, The Hartford Quality Bond Fund, The Hartford Short Duration Fund, The Hartford Strategic Income Fund, The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund, and The Hartford World Bond Fund (thirteen of the series comprising The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.) and The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund (one of the series comprising The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.) at October 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and 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 their meeting held on August 1-2, 2017, the Boards of Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (“HMF”) and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (“HMF II”), including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) by and between HMF and HMF II, on behalf of each of their respective funds listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) except for The Hartford Floating Rate High Income Fund and The Hartford Municipal Opportunities Fund, and Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”); (ii) the continuation of a separate investment management agreement by and between HMF, on behalf of The Hartford Floating Rate High Income Fund and The Hartford Municipal Opportunities Fund, and HFMC (the “2013 Investment Management Agreement” and collectively with the Management Agreement, the “Management Agreements”); and (iii) new investment sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively with the Management Agreements, the “Agreements”) between HFMC and each Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”), on behalf of each of HMF and HMF II, as applicable.

In the months preceding the August 1-2, 2017 meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers 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, as applicable, with respect 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 approval of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meetings held on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal, compliance and risk management matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Board also considered the materials and in-person presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC received at the Board’s meetings on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017 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, as applicable. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 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 Management Agreements.

In determining whether to approve the Agreements for a Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate 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 approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in

Hartford Funds - Fixed Income Funds

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

 

 

 

connection with its evaluation of the Agreements and, throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds. The Independent Directors were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, 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 also 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 about each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators, as well as each Adviser’s commitment to implement rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, as well as the efforts of the Advisers to combat cybersecurity risks and invest in business continuity planning.

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, and the provision of administrative and 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 Hartford Funds’ 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 periodic due diligence reviews of the Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of the Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations 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 day-to-day oversight of each Fund’s compliance with its 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. Moreover, the Board considered HFMC’s oversight of potential conflicts of interest between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by the Funds’ portfolio management personnel.

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 the launch of new funds in recent years. The Board considered that HFMC is responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.

With respect to the Sub-adviser, which provides certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, the quality of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the Sub-adviser’s other investment personnel, its investment philosophy and process, its investment research capabilities and resources, its flexibility in implementing the inflation hedge overlay in a low inflation environment for The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund, its performance record, its trade execution capabilities and its 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 Broadridge comparing the investment performance of each Fund to an appropriate universe of peer funds. The Board also noted that, for The

Hartford Funds - Fixed Income Funds

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

 

 

 

Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund, there existed no peer group with a strong correlation to the Fund’s investment strategy. For that Fund, the Board considered supplemental performance evaluation information. For details 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, including in connection with the approval of the Agreements. These reports include, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance relative to an appropriate benchmark and peer group (if available), 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 and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. 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, including information regarding profitability trends over time. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-adviser. 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 and that the sub-advisory fees would be paid by HFMC and not the Funds. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Sub-adviser is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

The Board considered the Consultant’s review of the methodologies and estimates used by HFMC in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreements, noting the Consultant’s view that HFMC’s process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is reasonable and consistent with the process previously reviewed by the Consultant. 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 consistent with 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 the comparative information that had been provided at meetings on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017 with respect to the services rendered to and 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 HFMC’s undertaking to limit each Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to specified levels. The Board also reviewed information from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees and overall expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge, in consultation with the Consultant. For details regarding each Fund’s expenses, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.

While the Board recognized that comparisons between a Fund and its 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 Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses, in conjunction with 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 considered information regarding the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. 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 considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce each Fund’s expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund’s assets decline. The Board recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates and pricing the Funds to scale at inception are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses, which has resulted in benefits being realized by shareholders as assets within the Hartford Funds family of funds have grown over time, including through lower operating expenses. The Board also noted that, for each of The Hartford Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, The Hartford Municipal Real Return Fund, and The Hartford Quality Bond Fund, the 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 Broadridge 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, Broadridge, 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.

The Board noted that HFMC receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Funds, and the Board considered information on profits to 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. The Board considered that it had approved: (i) the removal of an expense limitation on the transfer agency fees for Class Y shares of each Fund effective May 1, 2017; (ii) the imposition of a direct account fee effective June 1, 2017; (iii) changes to the transfer agency fee structure effective November 1, 2017; and (iv) changes to the expense limitation on transfer agency fees for each share class of each Fund effective November 1, 2017. The Board reviewed information about the profitability to HASCO of the Funds’ transfer agency function, including the anticipated impact of the new fee structure on transfer agent profit margins. The Board noted that under the new transfer agency fee structure, the Funds will pay a fee to HASCO based on actual fees and expenses incurred by HASCO, including payments made by HASCO to a sub-transfer agent and to other financial intermediaries subject to guidelines approved by the Board, plus a reasonable target profit margin. The Board considered information provided by HASCO indicating that, after giving effect to the new fee structure, 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 distribution and service fees from the Funds and receives all or a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares.

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 does 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, including, with respect to certain share classes, the right to exchange investments between the same class of funds without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other funds in the family, and the ability to combine holdings in a Fund with holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board

considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the fund family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes and the assumption of entrepreneurial and other risks by HFMC in sponsoring new funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.

Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s New Transfer Agency Fee (Unaudited – Not Part of the Annual Report)

 

 

 

Effective November 1, 2017, The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (each a “Company”), on behalf of its respective funds listed in the table below (each a “Fund”), entered into an Amended and Restated Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”). Effective November 1, 2017, under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to such Fund. Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) (and any other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and BFDS (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the applicable Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”); (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin. Effective November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2019, HASCO has also contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fees as follows: 0.25% (Class A), 0.25% (Class T), 0.25% (Class C), 0.20% (Class I), 0.02% (Class R3), 0.02% (Class R4), 0.02% (Class R5), and 0.06% (Class Y). HASCO has also contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for each of Class R6 and Class F shares until February 28, 2018, and thereafter, has agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fee at 0.004% of the average daily net assets for each of Class R6 and Class F shares through February 28, 2019. Each contractual arrangement, except the reimbursement of the entire transfer agency fee for Class R6 and Class F, will automatically renew for one-year terms thereafter unless HASCO provides written notice of termination prior to start of the next term or upon approval of the applicable Board.

If this new arrangement were in place during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the effective rate of compensation paid to HASCO for transfer agency services after waivers and/or reimbursements as a percentage of each Class’ average daily net assets would have been as follows:

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Thank you for investing in Hartford Funds. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report, covering the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017.

Market Review

During the 12 months ended October 31, 2017, U.S. stocks, as measured by the

 

S&P 500 Index,1 kept an upward trajectory. During this period, the S&P 500 Index generated a 23.6% total return, hitting another record high in late October.

The primary drivers of market progress during the period were slow, yet steady growth, positive corporate earnings, and positive job reports. These market conditions have served as the basis of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest-rate hike cycle that began in December 2015 and continued through June 2017, when short-term rates rose by 0.25% to a range of 1% to 1.25%. At the time of this writing, consensus expectations were for a continued gradual increase in interest rates throughout 2018, which should help markets better digest and account for such changes.

Going forward, politics both at home and abroad are likely to continue playing a key role in driving market movements. Congress has approved a budget resolution for the new fiscal year and pushed back the deadline to lift the debt ceiling in an effort to tie federal funding for disaster relief to the bills following three major hurricanes. Uncertainty surrounding healthcare and tax reform remain. Additionally, concerns about possible nuclear action from North Korea may be contributing to market uncertainty.

In Europe, while Macron’s victory in France was viewed as market-friendly, uncertainty remains, for example, with respect to Britain’s “Brexit” undertaking to leave the European Union, which could influence markets or cause an uptick in volatility.

We encourage you to maintain a strong relationship with your financial advisor, who can help guide you through shifting markets confidently. He or she can help you proactively build a portfolio that takes market uncertainty into account, along with your unique investment goals and risk tolerances. Your advisor can help you find a fit within our family of funds as you work toward those goals.

Thank you again for investing in Hartford Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our funds, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

PERFORMANCE DATA QUOTED REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website www.hartfordfunds.com.

The initial investment in Class A shares reflects the maximum sales charge of 4.50% and returns for Class C shares reflect a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase.

Total returns presented above were calculated using the Fund’s net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on 10/31/17, which

may exclude investment transactions as of this date. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses.

Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class A and Class I shares reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Advisor and Investor Class shares, respectively, of the Schroder Absolute Return EMD and Currency Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), which commenced operations on 12/15/11. Class C and Class Y shares commenced operations on 10/24/16. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class C and Class Y shares reflects the performance, fees and expenses of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Class shares. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class SDR shares reflects the performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund and, prior to 12/30/14, the inception date of the then-existing Class R6 shares, the Investor Class shares of the Predecessor Fund. Class F shares commenced operations on 2/28/17. Performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class I shares. The returns would be different if the Fund’s fees and expenses were reflected for periods prior to 10/24/16.

3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) gives an indication of the interest rate at which a panel of selected banks borrow U.S. dollar funds from one another with a maturity of three months.

The returns disclosed for the 3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR reflect the returns of the ICE BofAML US Dollar 3-Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity.

The chart and table do not reflect the deductions of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Performance information may reflect historical or current expense waivers/reimbursements from Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, the investment manager, and may reflect historical expenses waivers/reimbursements from the Predecessor Fund’s investment adviser, without which performance would have been lower. For information on current expense waivers/reimbursements, please see the prospectuses.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund returned 2.84%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming 3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR, which can be used to compare Fund performance, which returned 1.87% for the same period. The Fund seeks to generate positive total returns over the long term regardless of market conditions. The Fund does not seek to outperform a specific securities benchmark, and therefore will not be managed to this, or any, specific benchmark. The Fund underperformed the 6.66% average return of the Lipper Absolute Return Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment objectives similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

The domestic trends in a number of Emerging Markets (EM) were broadly favourable during the period. The disinflation trend continued to persist in Brazil, Russia and Indonesia which allowed central banks in these countries to continue to cut rates. In this context local debt markets performed relatively well. However, the positive trends highlighted above for a number of local debt and currency markets were eclipsed at times by uncertainties relating to the future direction of monetary and fiscal policy in the U.S.; as well as by the flare ups in geopolitical tensions with North Korea.

The encouraging macro-economic adjustments seen in a number of EM countries were increasingly clear during the period. These events, along with the reforms and changes in leadership being achieved in some countries, meant that a classic ‘EM Post Crisis’ recovery prevailed. However, recent events have added further evidence to support our belief that an active and flexible approach may be necessary to get the best risk adjusted returns from this current investment opportunity. In our view, the outlook for global economic activity remains clouded by the tightening in monetary conditions in developed economies and by the apparent resolve of

the Chinese authorities to tackle the unsustainably high level of leverage in the nation’s financial system. Certain measures of global credit have already experienced a sharp deceleration, which may jeopardise the sustainability of the global cyclical recovery.

Carefully selected EM currency and local government bond exposures in our favoured countries contributed to the positive performance over the period, which helped the Fund generate a positive absolute return.

2017 has seen both currency and duration exposures in the Fund’s favoured countries (such as Brazil, Russia, Indonesia and Argentina) contribute towards a solid positive absolute performance for the Fund for the period. Credit has not played a part in return generation given the Fund’s limited exposure to that sector. Our focus remained firmly on local government debt markets in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa. Eastern European currencies also remained a large core exposure in the Fund for much of the period. In particular, the Fund benefited from the continued rally experienced by the Mexican peso and from the strong recovery in Brazilian local bonds and currency, which recouped all the losses suffered during the sell-off caused by the revelations in May of the corruption allegations against President Temer. In September, EM bonds and currencies initially showed good resilience in the face of the confirmation by the U.S. Federal Reserve of its determination to pursue its monetary normalisation process. However, in the final week of September, EM currencies weakened at the start of what was to be a period of poor seasonality for risk assets in general. Towards the end of October, overall fund duration was cut and currency exposure reduced to 65% from its peak of around 80%. During the period, the Fund used currency forwards to gain or hedge currency exposures. During the period, such transactions had a very moderately negative impact on performance. No other derivative instruments were used during the reporting period.

Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund

Manager Discussion – (continued)

October 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

What is the outlook?

We believe the volatility seen late in the reporting period in fixed income and currency markets should provide good buying opportunities. We believe the recovery in carefully selected EM local bonds and currencies, which began at the beginning of 2016, has much further to go.

Through the comprehensive investment research undertaken by the Fund’s team; we have identified a selection of emerging countries offering what we believe to be both cheap valuations and improving fundamentals – something not seen for many years across the asset class in general. In our view, much of this underlying strong recovery should continue to be driven by restored competitiveness, improving external accounts and abating inflationary pressures. Broadly speaking, we believe there is a lot of value in EM local investments, as many have devalued significantly in the last five years and as local rates are now relatively high compared to developed markets.

With further evidence that the conditions are in place for the U.S. Federal Reserve to continue its process of monetary policy normalisation, we believe that pressures on bond markets both in EM and globally are likely to intensify in the coming five years. In our view, EM hard currency debt should be avoided for this reason, as this sector currently offers very low yields, poor liquidity and it could suffer badly from its high sensitivity to U.S. Treasury bond yields. Exposure to this sector may purposely be kept to very minimal levels until an opportunity presents itself.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund is non-diversified, so it may be more exposed to the risks associated

with individual issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund.

Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, the investment manager, believes that the net version of the benchmark better reflects potential tax consequences for the Fund.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) (reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes but reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or other taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets, consisting of 24 emerging markets.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Gross) (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets, consisting of 24 emerging markets.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned 29.83%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017 compared to the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) which returned 26.45%. The Fund also outperformed the 22.68% average return of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Global equities registered a strong gain over the twelve-month period as global growth accelerated. The election of Donald Trump as U.S. President in November 2016 led financial markets to price in the prospect of reflation (i.e., a fiscal policy designed to expand a country’s output). This was in anticipation that the new administration’s plan for U.S. fiscal stimulus would lead to stronger U.S. growth. However, expectations for the scale and timing of fiscal expansion were subsequently reduced. Combined with an easing in trade policy concerns and decreased risk of more aggressive monetary policy tightening, this led the U.S. dollar to reverse its strong post-election gains. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to gradually normalise monetary policy, raising its headline rate by a total of 0.75% over the period to 1.25%. It announced plans for quantitative tightening (QT) in September 2017. Other major global central banks maintained accommodative monetary policy, albeit the European Central Bank (ECB) announced a reduction in the scale of its quantitative easing (QE) program at the end of the period. U.S. dollar weakness and a synchronous pickup in in global growth were supportive of emerging markets (EM) equities. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) recorded a robust return of 26.45% over the twelve-month period and outperformed the MSCI World Index which returned 22.77%.

Emerging European equities were among the best performing markets. A pick-up in global growth combined with the election of centrist leaders in France, the Netherlands and Germany all proved supportive. Against this backdrop the markets of Poland and Hungary posted strong gains and outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net). Korea also benefited from faster global growth, with Technology equities, in particular semiconductor manufacturers, underpinning gains.

China outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) as macroeconomic data stabilized and concern over U.S. protectionist measures eased. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth modestly increased and was 6.8% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2017, showing minimal impact from the government’s moves to selectively tighten credit and tackle financial sector risks. Measures to tighten short-term interest rates, coupled with U.S. dollar weakness, also served to ease pressure on the capital account.

A recovery in commodity prices, supported in part by stronger growth in China, was beneficial for a number of Latin American markets; notably Chile and Peru. In Chile, the market was also boosted by opinion polls which indicated a lead for centre-right candidate, Sebastián Piñera, ahead of a presidential election in November 2017.

In contrast, those markets most sensitive to global liquidity tightening underperformed. This was in part given declines at the end of the period when the Fed confirmed plans for QT and the dollar appreciated. Turkey, South Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia all finished in positive territory but lagged wider EM. Mexico also underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) amid concern over U.S. trade policy under the Trump administration, in particular the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and due to domestic politics. This led to some volatility in

the peso. Qatar posted a negative return and was among the weakest performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net). Qatar’s market declined following the imposition of an economic and diplomatic blockade by neighbouring countries, notably Saudi Arabia, in June. Egypt, which devalued its currency early in the period, and Pakistan, which was added to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) in June 2017, were the weakest performing markets within the index.

The Fund outperformed relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) over the reporting period, with country allocation and stock selection supporting excess returns.

From a country perspective, the underweight to South Africa and the overweight to Korea were the key contributors to relative performance. A zero-weight to Malaysia and the underweights to Indonesia and Mexico also worked well.

At a stock level, selection in Russia accounted for the largest proportion of excess returns. This included the overweight to Sberbank and off-benchmark holdings in internet company Mail.Ru Group and supermarket operator X5 Retail Group. Selection in Korea was positive, in particular the overweights to Samsung Electronics and NCsoft. Elsewhere, selection in Taiwan contributed positively, notably the overweight holdings in Hon Hai Precision Industry and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Conversely, stock selection in Poland was negative and included the overweight to Bank Pekao. 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 key drivers of the rally in EM equities from January 2017 to the end of the period have faded somewhat, given a modest consolidation in the U.S. dollar and stabilization in the recovery of global trade. The commencement of QT in the U.S. and the announcement of tapering from the ECB have also been factors in a relative ‘pause for breath’ in markets. However, the process of stimulus withdrawal is expected to be gradual with policymakers likely to exercise a high degree of caution. This considered, there is therefore a reasonable expectation that the ‘Goldilocks’ scenario of modest growth and subdued inflation can continue to provide a supportive external environment for EM. That said, we are mindful of the potential ramifications stemming from the risk of more protectionist U.S. trade policy. This could come to the fore should U.S. tax proposals fail, as the Republican Party will be under pressure to deliver some campaign pledges ahead of mid-term elections in late 2018.

We believe that the long-term outlook for EM remains positive and fundamentals are firm. From a valuation perspective, EM trades in line with its historical average on an aggregate price-to-book basis, but looking beyond the aggregate we believe there are many

attractive opportunities. Global growth is supportive and there is potential for an ongoing uplift in return-on-equity as an improving top-line and prior capital expenditures discipline drive positive operating leverage. Chinese economic momentum is slowing from high levels, but the recent Party Congress emphasized a welcome focus on the quality of growth and addressing structural risk. Russia and Brazil continue on a path of economic recovery and other commodity linked economies are moving through the adjustment phase and benefiting from firming commodity prices. On a relative basis the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) trades on 12.8x price-to-earnings ratio, a discount of 24% compared to the MSCI World Index. Furthermore, we continue to think there is a bias for U.S. dollar weakness on a medium-term basis and that EM currencies, excluding the Chinese renminbi, are undervalued.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Investments in Equity Linked Notes (ELN) are subject to interest, credit, management, counterparty, liquidity, and market risks and, as applicable, foreign security and currency risks. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund returned 8.83%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s blended benchmark, which is comprised of the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index (33.4%), the JP Morgan GBI Emerging Markets Global Diversified Index (33.3%), and the JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Index (33.3%), which returned 5.94% for the same period. The JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, the JP Morgan GBI Emerging Markets Global Diversified Index, and the JP Morgan CEMBI Broad Diversified Index returned 6.32%, 5.18%, and 6.18%, respectively, during the period. The Fund also outperformed the 7.26% average return of the Lipper International Emerging Markets Hard Currency Debt peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period. 

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Emerging market debt (“EMD”), as measured by the blended benchmark, provided positive returns for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017. For the most part, this period can be described as a virtuous cycle for emerging markets. The U.S. dollar was trending weaker, commodity prices stabilized, global trade was vibrant and synchronized, foreign exchange (FX) reserves were replenished, and emerging currencies firmed, giving central banks rooms to cut interest rates. Because of this, all three of the major sub-segments of EMD (hard currency sovereign, hard currency corporate, and local currency sovereign) posted positive, although not highly differentiated, returns over this period.

The tale of the U.S. dollar (USD) over this period has three distinct phases. In November of 2016, after the U.S. election, there was a pause in the weak U.S. dollar trend that had begun earlier that year. The buzzword on Wall Street was “reflation,” the belief that a Trump

presidency would usher in significant infrastructure spending which would give the economy a lift and strengthen the dollar. By spring, however, this narrative began to falter as mediocre economic statistics and the realities of Washington gridlock became all too apparent. The dollar then hit a recent low in August as the market expressed skepticism that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would be able to raise interest rates one more time in 2017 as it had previously indicated.

Repeated pronouncements by Fed governors towards the end of the summer as well as a noteworthy speech by Fed chair Janet Yellen, however, left little doubt that – absent a cratering of economic activity – the Fed intended to increase interest rates at its December 2017 meeting. Hence, the dollar began firming as we neared the end of this reporting period. We believe it is important to note that EMD can perform well in a steady or weakening U.S. dollar environment. It is periods like 2013 to 2015 when the dollar catapulted forward more than 25% (as measured by the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)) that are challenging for local currency issues in our view.

From a macroeconomic perspective, the situation is still generally positive in emerging markets. Foreign exchange reserves have healed nicely for most major countries since the depths of the local currency crisis. Growth is surprising on the upside in some areas, Eastern Europe notably, and two major economies are finally coming out of recession – Brazil and Russia. Central banks are largely in an accommodative position, either neutral or still lowering rates.

Security selection in USD-denominated EMD was the largest contributor to outperformance relative to the blended benchmark during the period. Approximately two-thirds of that outperformance came from government-related issuers (both sovereigns and quasi-sovereigns), with the balance coming from corporate bonds. Local

currency allocation and selection detracted modestly from outperformance over the benchmark in the period.

Major contributors to the Fund’s outperformance relative to the blended benchmark included a few idiosyncratic government issuers – Ghana and Ukraine. Both economies are under International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreements and sovereign bonds of countries under these agreements tend to experience low volatility. Both countries are progressing well under their agreements, and the markets rewarded them with price appreciation. There were no real major detractors of performance. With respect to Colombia Telecom, the recapitalization of ColTel by the government of Colombia and Telefonica came quicker than expected. We had expected a more volatile path and perhaps reduced exposure too early. The Fund’s use of derivatives (primarily in the form of forward contracts) during the reporting period had a small positive impact on total return.

What is the outlook?

As of the end of the period, we believe the markets are signaling an expectation that the Fed will raise rates in December 2017. This is in stark contrast to late summer, when the futures markets were highly skeptical of such an event. If he is confirmed by the Senate, we expect that Fed chair nominee Jerome Powell will attempt to guide the institution to follow the intentions of the Yellen-led Fed – which would mean three further increases in 2018. Whether that actually does occur remains to be seen, of course. In a rising rate environment, we seek to downplay those EMD issuers with higher correlation to U.S. treasuries – such as single-A rated sovereign bonds – in an effort to avoid the worst of potential rate increases.

As of the end of the period there still generally exists, in our opinion, a relatively favorable environment for EMD. A key risk would be a sharp, unexpected rise in inflation that would put the Fed on the defensive. Further, a sharper slowdown in China would likely negatively affect a wide swath of EM countries dependent on trade with that country. Neither of those scenarios is currently contemplated by our base case. So we feel that the environment is in a good place for this asset class, even if it doesn’t have the obvious tailwind of a weakening U.S. dollar or interest rate cuts from several EM central banks.

Finally, as of the end of the period, the country of Venezuela and its state-run oil company, PDVSA, were teetering near default. We have believed for many months now the odds are quite high that this event will occur. As of the end of the period, the Fund did not own any bonds issued by the Venezuelan government or PDVSA. Further, as the market has anticipated this default for some time we do not think that this event alone would turn investors away from EMD or risk assets more generally.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated

objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund is non-diversified, so it may be more exposed to the risks associated with individual issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund.

PERFORMANCE DATA QUOTED REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website www.hartfordfunds.com.

The initial investment in Class A shares reflects the maximum sales charge of 4.50% and returns for Class C shares reflect a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase.

Total returns presented above were calculated using the Fund’s net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on 10/31/17, which

may exclude investment transactions as of this date. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses.

Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class A and Class I shares reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Advisor and Investor Class shares, respectively, of the Schroder Global Strategic Bond Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), which commenced operations on 6/23/14. Class C, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, and Class Y shares commenced operations on 10/24/16. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class C, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, and Class Y shares reflects the performance, fees and expenses of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Class shares. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class SDR shares reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund and, prior to 12/19/14, the inception date of the then-existing Class R6 shares, the Investor Class shares of the Predecessor Fund. Class F shares commenced operations on 2/28/17. Performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class I shares. The returns would be different if the Fund’s fees and expenses were reflected for periods prior to 10/24/16.

3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) gives an indication of the interest rate at which a panel of selected banks borrow U.S. dollar funds from one another with a maturity of three months.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund returned 1.85%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, 3-Month USD Fixed LIBOR (the “Index”), which returned 1.87% for the same period. The Fund underperformed the 4.75% average return of the Lipper Alternative Credit Focus Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

The challenge for fixed income investors over the last twelve-months has arguably been to reconcile positive growth and upside risks to consumer inflation with low yields and low realized wage growth. This obstacle has not dissuaded central banks from edging towards the removal of policy accommodation.

Having increased rates in December 2016, as well as in March and June 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) announced it will commence the reduction of its balance sheet at a rate of $10 billion a month starting in October 2017. Towards the end of the period the European Central Bank (ECB) announced they would begin tapering their bond purchases as part of their quantitative easing (QE) program, which were halved to 30 billion a month, but extended to September 2018.

The Bank of England (BoE) increasingly talked about rate rises, although amid slowing growth and unconstructive negotiations regarding the United Kingdom’s (U.K.) departure from the European Union (Brexit), markets were little moved initially. However, with inflation data coming in significantly above target, BoE Governor Carney and a number of members of the Monetary Policy Committee gave ever firmer indications that a rate increase was under

discussion. This precipitated a sharp increase in U.K. government bond yields towards the end of the period.

Aggregate global bond yields increased in the U.S., Europe and U.K. over the period, with demand for corporate and emerging market assets continuing to support prices for these assets. This demand helped to keep a cap on market volatility, with fixed income market yields struggling to break out of historical patterns over the period. We believe the new challenge for investors is therefore to understand what will be the catalyst to break out of recent ranges.

During the twelve-month period under review, the Fund generated positive absolute returns with active rates and credit strategies contributing most to performance.

Bond yields have increased on the back a mixture of higher political and interest rate uncertainty in the last year. The first six months of the period were driven by the market’s appraisal of the U.S. election outcome in the fourth quarter of 2016. Anticipation of expansive U.S. fiscal policy and protectionist trade stance contributed positively to the increased demand for risky assets, such as credit and equities, which continued into the first quarter of 2017. A negative view on government bond markets and long inflation exposure, expressed primarily through the U.S. rates and the inflation markets contributed positively to returns. As did long U.S. dollar denominated corporates, which continued to support returns throughout the rest of 2017 in a positive environment for credit.

However, a lack of tangible pro-growth policies in the U.S. left the market questioning the ability of the new administration to further support the positive growth trajectory of the U.S. As a result expectations of higher inflation and higher yields began to be pared back in the U.S. during the second quarter 2017. The pull back from

trade protectionism also supported emerging market assets, which like corporate bonds boosted performance during the last 12 months.

The second quarter also brought political challenges in the United Kingdom. The snap election in June increased the uncertainty around the U.K.’s ability to negotiate ‘Brexit.’ Accordingly, June marked the low point for U.K. government bond yields, which had declined since January as the market anticipated ‘lower for longer’ policy from the Bank of England. This trend was a positive for portfolio performance. However, the valuation of sterling increased as the market expected a ‘softer’ Brexit from a political perspective. Sterling rallied during that period, particularly versus the U.S. dollar, which had a negative impact on returns given the portfolio’s short sterling position versus both the euro and the U.S. dollar.

Continued political uncertainty in the third quarter of 2017 was joined by global central banks signalling an intention to begin removing policy accommodation. The net outcome over the quarter was a shift in sentiment towards tighter policy, albeit the only concrete policy announcement came from the U.S. Federal Reserve and its confirmation of the balance sheet reduction. Anticipation of the announcement was likely a contributing factor in the upwards move in yields in September, which reversed the narrowing seen in August. Prior to this, markets had arguably been underestimating the pace of tightening. Higher U.S. yields were positive for performance later in the quarter having been a headwind to returns previously.

In the U.K. the change in tone from the Bank of England indicating their readiness to increase rates occurred against a backdrop of above target inflation and low unemployment, leading to a significant increase in U.K. government bond yields and a rally in sterling against both the euro and the dollar that detracted from returns. In Europe shortly thereafter the tapering of ECB monetary accommodation helped spur a divergence in U.S. and European yields with higher bond yields in the U.S. in absolute and relative terms versus Europe, where core and peripheral yields, Italy in particular, contracted as the ECB left open the possibility that the QE program could be increased again if needed. As U.S. yields increased in absolute and relative terms vs other global bond markets rates strategies ended the period on a positive note.

Over the period derivatives were used primarily in implementing our interest rate and currency views, as well as to buy protection against adverse movements in the credit markets in more volatile periods at the start of 2017. Derivatives form part of our active strategy and were used in conjunction with other assets to target specific sources of return. An example would be U.S. inflation expectations, where we want to buy U.S. treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”), but do not want to hold interest rate risk. This was achieved by buying U.S. 10 year TIPS and hedging interest rate risk with derivatives. Overall derivatives contributed positively to Fund performance.

What is the outlook?

A defining characteristic of markets in 2017 has been that despite a trend towards less accommodation from central banks, volatility continued to decline. We are seeing the initialization of the unwinding of the abundance of global central bank liquidity.

We believe that the most likely path remains a gradual pace of tightening and stimulus withdrawal, but as inflation and monetary policy normalise, volatility is likely to rise. Tantrum-type episodes (i.e. a swift market repricing) are a more significant risk. One investment implication of this is to avoid crowded trades (e.g., trades conducted by many investors), particularly those investors have been drawn to in an increasingly challenging search for yield. We believe crowded trades are particularly vulnerable to a global repricing of risk and lower liquidity.

A key consideration moving forward is that central banks appear to have become more prepared to surprise markets. Both the Bank of Canada (BoC) and BoE have displayed such tendencies over the summer of 2017. This is potentially exacerbated by markets that seemingly remain behind the curve in terms of the shifting global policy regime.

Inflation globally may begin to normalise, as strong growth reduces global slack, but, absent an upside inflation surprise, aggressive tightening by central banks seems unlikely. Broadly, the collective stance of central banks seems to now comprise greater tolerance for volatility and asset price weakness, but intolerance for significant dislocations.

The prospect of a large fiscal easing program from the Trump administration has recently been gaining momentum and is a potential source of volatility. We believe that a tax package is ultimately likely to be delivered given the political incentives and could potentially dis-anchor inflation expectations, but it is likely to be a complicated and protracted process.

The current U.S. economic expansion is already above average in terms of its duration relative to history. We believe there is little evidence to be concerned over the possibility of recession, but given the degree of uncertainty abroad, it is a risk which bears vigilant monitoring. Furthermore, in our view, the risk posed by a rapid increase in inflation expectations is that central banks would be obliged to counter with tighter policy, resulting in a negative scenario for risk assets.

Given what we perceive to be the likely rise in volatility and unattractive valuations in many assets, portfolio construction and balancing risks is critical. We plan to actively manage the overall duration stance and exposure to major developed global bond markets in terms of magnitude and on a country by country basis. We also believe that some of the most attractive opportunities currently are in emerging markets (EM) and securitised sectors where selectivity is crucial. EMs have had a prolonged run of solid gains and

would be vulnerable in a sustained U.S. dollar rally in our view. We believe that pockets of credit also remain attractive and would benefit from higher growth expectations in the event of U.S. fiscal stimulus.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Convertible securities are subject to the risks of both debt and equity securities. Loans and loan participations are also subject to nonpayment, default, collateral, liquidity, extension, prepayment and insolvency risks. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund is non-diversified, so it may be more exposed to the risks associated with individual issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Privately placed, restricted (Rule 144A) securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities, thus they may be potentially illiquid. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

PERFORMANCE DATA QUOTED REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website www.hartfordfunds.com.

The initial investment in Class A shares reflects the maximum sales charge of 5.50% and returns for Class C shares reflect a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase.

Total returns presented above were calculated using the Fund’s net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on 10/31/17, which may exclude investment transactions as of this date. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses.

Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class A and Class I shares reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Advisor and Investor Class shares, respectively, of the Schroder International Multi-Cap Value Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). Class C, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, and Class Y shares commenced operations on 10/24/16. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class C, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, and Class Y shares reflects the performance, fees and expenses of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Class shares. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class SDR shares reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund and, prior to 12/30/14, the inception date of the then-existing Class R6 shares, the Investor Class shares of the Predecessor Fund. Class F shares commenced operations on 2/28/17. Performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class I shares. The returns would be different if the Fund’s fees and expenses were reflected for periods prior to 10/24/16.

Effective 3/1/17, the Fund changed its benchmarks from the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (Gross) and MSCI All Country World ex USA Value Index (Gross) to the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (Net) and MSCI All Country World ex USA Value Index (Net), respectively. Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, investment manager, believes that the net version of these benchmarks better reflects potential tax consequences for the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund returned 20.26%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (Net) (“MSCI AC World ex USA Index”) and the MSCI All Country World ex USA Value Index (Net), which returned 23.64% and 22.52%, respectively, for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 22.80% average return of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

International equities made strong gains in the period under review, as measured by the MSCI AC World ex USA Index. The Fund also experienced positive absolute performance but lagged the market. The concentrated nature of the market’s advance, with a narrow cohort of growth equities driving a large part of the gains, proved a headwind for the Fund’s diversified, valuation-aware approach.

At the start of the period under review, markets rotated away from long-running and overextended trends such as the popularity of high-yielding equities and the perceived safety of low volatility. Instead, there was a reassessment of the prospects for more cyclically-orientated equities (i.e. those with greater sensitivity to the economic cycle). In this environment, the Fund outperformed the MSCI AC World ex USA Index in the final two months of 2016. However, as 2017 progressed, investors refocused on a narrow group of growth equities. These were largely within the Technology sector where valuations have been pushed to even more extended levels. This proved a more difficult environment for the Fund.

Stock selection in the Asian emerging markets was the biggest drag on performance relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index. This was primarily due to the avoidance of certain equity securities that we viewed as expensive “growth” equities. Such securities tended to outperform over the year, such as Tencent in the Technology sector.

Consumer Discretionary was the biggest detractor at sector level. The ongoing strong performance of expensive growth names such as Alibaba (which the Fund did not own as of the end of the period) was negative for the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index. In addition, holdings in pan-European media companies proved a headwind, following WPP reporting lower-than-expected sales for the year.

On the positive side, stock selection within the Energy sector made the greatest contribution to returns relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index. The Fund’s holdings in emerging Europe integrated oil & gas firms such as OMV and MOL supported Fund performance. Stock selection within the Consumer Staples sector also added value. This was especially the case in Continental Europe where we had an underweight allocation to the large food & drink companies relative to the MSCI AC World ex USA Index that we viewed as expensive.

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 momentum has continued to be a key driver of returns in international equity markets, despite the recent rotation towards commodity-focused sectors. The Energy sector has been among the

worst performers year-to-date as of October 31, 2017, and we have been selectively increasing the Fund’s exposure to this deep value opportunity during the period.

Within the Financials sector, we continue to focus on equity securities that we believe are attractively valued, while also keeping in mind our view on the quality of the company in assessing its risk. This has led to us add to a number of deeper value names during the period where we believe the market has discounted the balance sheet risk too heavily.

The relative recent weakness in the Consumer Staples and Utilities sectors gave us the opportunity to increase the Fund’s allocation to a number of preferred names. However, at the end of the period, the Fund was still underweight what we believe to be the more expensive names within food & drink and household products, particularly in Europe.

In more cyclical areas, we have sold out of a number of positions that have outperformed over the year and that we no longer consider cheap, mainly within Technology and certain Industrials sectors. The proceeds were reinvested into stocks that have lagged in industries such as auto parts, construction and machinery companies.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different asset classes does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit”). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Value investing may go out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market. The main risk of real estate related securities is that the value of the underlying real estate may decrease in value. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund.

PERFORMANCE DATA QUOTED REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website www.hartfordfunds.com.

The initial investment in Class A shares reflects the maximum sales charge of 5.50% and returns for Class C shares reflect a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase.

Total returns presented above were calculated using the Fund’s net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on 10/31/17, which may exclude investment transactions as of this date. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses.

 

Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class A shares reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Advisor Class shares of the Schroder International Alpha Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). Class C, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class Y shares commenced operations on 10/24/16. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, and Class Y shares reflects the performance, fees and expenses of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Class shares. Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class SDR shares reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the then-existing Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund and, prior to 12/30/14, the inception date of the then-existing Class R6 shares, the Investor Class shares of the Predecessor Fund. Class F shares commenced operations on 2/28/17. Performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class I shares. The returns would be different if the Fund’s fees and expenses were reflected for periods prior to 10/24/16.

Effective 3/1/17, the Fund changed its benchmark from the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) to the MSCI EAFE Index (Net). Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, investment manager, believes that the net version of the benchmark better reflects potential tax consequences for the Fund.

MSCI EAFE Index (Net) (reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes but reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or other taxes) (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, and excludes the U.S. and Canada.

MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, and excludes the U.S. and Canada.

You cannot invest directly in an index.

The chart and table do not reflect the deductions of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Performance information may reflect historical or current expense waivers/reimbursements from Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, the investment manager, and may reflect historical expenses waivers/reimbursements from the Predecessor Fund’s investment adviser, without which performance would have been lower.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund returned 25.41%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which returned 23.44% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 22.65% average return of the Lipper International Large-Cap Growth peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

International equities markets were supported by healthy and synchronized global growth amidst a less volatile macro environment. Stock selection was robust in a number of sectors, but especially in the Consumer Discretionary and Healthcare sectors. The strongest sector overall however, was Informational Technology, where positive stock selection combined with a sector overweight contributed positively to benchmark-relative returns. Industrial, Consumer Staples and telecoms equities were slightly softer. By region Asian – including Japan – and U.K. exposure drove returns, overcoming a very slight headwind posed by North American positions.

Recruit (Consumer Discretionary) has been a particularly strong position over the twelve-month period and contributed positively to benchmark-relative performance. Recent earnings releases have confirmed our thesis, indicating accelerating growth at the company’s online job search platform, Indeed.com. Tencent (Information Technology) also performed strongly and contributed positively to relative performance. A key aspect of Tencent’s success has been its ability to expand beyond core online gaming/messaging franchises into new growth areas like cloud computing, payments, advertising and video. NAVER (Information Technology) detracted from relative

performance over the period, facing stricter antitrust regulations amid a period of sluggish earnings. Subaru (Consumer Discretionary) also detracted from relative performance and we elected to sell the position. Given the increased risk and lower visibility we elected to invest in a more attractive alternative in our view.

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 market’s strength so far in 2017 has been supported by positive fundamentals. The decline in stock correlations is also encouraging to us. A less “macro-driven” market means that investors are more likely to value and reward fundamental strength and earnings, in our view. We believe this allows stock-pickers to continue to generate returns even if markets are near relative highs. We are still finding unrecognized improvement dynamics in certain regions and sectors but recognize that the market has priced in a fair amount of optimism, with valuations trading at relatively elevated levels compared to long term averages.

We remain optimistic but are very cognizant of the potential risks. The backdrop is one of structural stability, but with the potential for bouts of short-term volatility, which we value as stock-pickers. Of more interest and focus on the investment team are a number of structural trends that we see as very important to the outlook for equities:

Online Disruption. We believe we are entering a phase where the growth of social media and online platforms are not just sapping the growth potential of other industries, but are becoming disruptive to the entire profit pool of industries. Retail, traditional media,

Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund

Manager Discussion – (continued)

distribution businesses and traditional banking are good examples. However we are starting to see quite widespread de-rating of challenged industries as the disruption becomes clearer, and that is likely to throw up opportunities in businesses that are prepared to sacrifice some near term profitability to keep themselves well invested against the competition.

Regulation of the internet giants. Though they remain well behind the curve, in recent months there have been a number of examples of regulators trying to get to grips with the power and impact of the new internet platforms. We can expect to see much more of this as the power and influence of these platforms becomes more apparent.

Energy transition. We believe that a very powerful combination of truly competitive renewable energy, improving battery storage costs, and compelling electric powertrain vehicle products is coming together to transform the energy and automotive industries over the next two decades. In our review, there is now a viable path towards decarbonization of the energy and transportation industries, and we do not expect the transition to be linear. The return generation opportunities that this transition creates may be as much about avoiding the losers, as finding the winners.

Overall, we believe that innovation is at the heart of sustainability. For companies to enhance the durability of their earnings over the long term, we believe they will require elements of innovative optimization (doing the same things better) and/or innovative transformation (changing existing paradigms). We believe well-managed companies with cultures that support ongoing innovation, performance and accountability to their stakeholders should be best placed to deliver outsized growth independent of the economic cycle.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Foreign investments can be riskier and more volatile than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions (e.g., “Brexit). These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund returned 1.20%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which returned 2.19% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 1.77% average return of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Although the Fund had a positive absolute return for the period, it underperformed the benchmark primarily due to the Fund’s overall yield curve positioning and municipal underweight relative to the benchmark. The allocation to corporate bonds added to relative performance through sector selection and more than offset the negative impact from underweight municipals, although not enough to offset the yield curve impact.

The municipal bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, generated a 2.19% return for the twelve months ending October 31, 2017 and 4.92% for the first ten months of 2017. After a sharp decline in November 2016, when the benchmark index was down -3.73%, the market ended 2016 with positive momentum that continued throughout 2017. This strong performance was impressive as investors had to deal with concerns about the U.S. election, US. Federal Reserve (Fed) policy, hurricanes, Illinois, Puerto Rico, North Korea, and the latest draft proposal on tax reform, to name a few headlines.

With this context in mind, the Fund’s larger allocation to higher quality bonds detracted from performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index within municipals as lower credit quality outperformed. The lower part of the credit spectrum, A-rated and BBB-rated bonds, continued to become increasingly expensive.

The Fund has focused on the higher part of the credit spectrum, AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds, as we do not believe that lower-rated bond levels are adequately compensating for their elevated risk. In addition to the higher quality positioning within municipals, yield curve positioning of the Fund’s tax-exempt exposure hindered the ability to keep pace with the market.

The allocation to corporate bonds contributed positively to performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index as they posted strong twelve month returns due to persistent foreign demand, improving corporate fundamentals, and supportive global growth leading to compressing spread levels, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index.

During the one year period, the Fund increased the allocation to municipals by over 25%, to 84% of the Fund’s net assets, the highest level of tax-exempt municipals the Fund has held since the first quarter of 2015. This was funded mainly through the sale of corporate bonds, as we sought to reduce the Fund’s exposure to corporate bonds due to expensive valuations.

We reduced the Fund’s corporate exposure in the Fund to 7% of the Fund’s net assets as spreads tightened throughout the last quarter of the period. We have meaningfully reduced the corporate exposure from a high of 39% of the Fund’s net assets in late 2016 as the sector has performed well and we no longer believe we are being adequately compensated for the risk. Derivatives were used in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook?

We believe that headlines rarely drive broad municipal market performance. For instance, the broad municipal bond market quickly digested Puerto Rico’s quasi-default as it was well telegraphed and the benchmark continued to post strong performance for the next several months of 2017. It is also commonly believed that changing

marginal tax rates drive demand for municipal bonds. While marginal tax rates are an important input to relative value measures, our experience has led us to believe that there is a limited impact on retail investor appetite for tax-exempt municipal debt. A 35% tax rate was the norm from 2003 to 2012; therefore, we do not believe a potential lower marginal tax-rate is likely to have a meaningful impact on retail demand.

In fact, even as the municipal market transitions from rates to a credit market, we have found that the most significant driver of municipal demand is still the direction of rates. When retail investors fear a significant rise in rates, we tend to see persistent and significant mutual fund outflows that overwhelm the markets’ ability to efficiently absorb it. We believe these periods, when everybody seems to be selling, offer the opportunity to buy bonds that we believe are attractively priced with strong fundamentals.

At the end of the period, we remained cautious as we believe valuations are expensive across sectors and we do not believe that investors are sufficiently compensated for risks and uncertainty in the market today. At the end of the period, we continue to focus on high quality, low beta (i.e. a security that has historically been less volatile than the market) names that may perform well when spreads widen.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The purchase of securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market can result in additional price and counterparty risk. 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, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, and counterparty risk. 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 (e.g., “Brexit”). Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase the Fund’s transaction

costs and an investor’s tax liability. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders US Small Cap Opportunities Fund returned 24.43%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 27.85% for the same period. The Fund also modestly underperformed the 24.69% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Core peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. small capitalization equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, rose nearly 28% for the one year period ended October 31, 2017. During this twelve-month period, we saw the U.S. equity market deliver strong performance, however there were notable changes in market leadership that occurred throughout the year. In November 2016, the Fund’s fiscal year began with its benchmark rising by 13.91% to year-end 2017 as the stock market surged post-President Trump’s election victory. The rally was driven by the smallest domestic companies as well as those that were perceived to benefit from increased infrastructure spending, lowered corporate tax rates and rising interest rates. Over that initial two month period, the S&P 500 Index (which is comprised of large cap issuers) only rose 5.30%.

The arrival of 2017 marked a change in market leadership as investors began to question the new administration’s ability to accomplish many of its goals that had been priced in the two months following President Trump’s election victory. Large cap, growth and high quality stocks outperformed the broader market. Companies with more foreign earnings (aided by the weaker dollar) also outperformed their more domestically oriented peers.

Nine of the ten sectors within the Russell 2000 Index posted positive returns during the period. The Health Care (+38.54%), Technology (+34.94%) and Producer Durables (+34.27%) sectors were the strongest performers during the period, while the Energy (-6.03%), Consumer Staples (-4.28) and Real Estate (-8.90%) sectors were the laggards. Both security selection and allocation hindered the Fund’s performance compared to the Russell 2000 Index during the period. Stock selection was strongest within the Technology and Energy sectors. The Fund also outperformed its benchmark in the Consumer Staples, Real Estate, and Utility sectors. Security selection in the Financial Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors were the largest laggards over the period. The Fund’s holdings also materially underperformed relative to the Russell 2000 in the Producer Durables, Materials & processing and Healthcare sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the Fund’s bottom-up stock selection, detracted from returns relative to the Russell 2000 Index over the period. An overweight to the Energy sector and the Fund’s cash allocation detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index but was partially offset by an underweight to the Real Estate and Consumer Staples sectors.

Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index during the period included Entegris, Inc. (Technology), Catalent Inc (Health Care) and ON Semiconductor Corporation (Technology). Entegris, a supplier for the semiconductor industry outperformed after reporting a series of earnings that were above investor’s expectations as they are well positioned to drive above-average earnings growth as well as margin expansion. Shares of contract manufacturing organization, Catalent, outperformed after a competitor received a buyout offer at a significant premium and Catalent reported a series of strong earnings and reaffirming guidance. ON Semiconductor manufactures a variety of semiconductors used in the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive and industrial verticals. To give one

example, the company is well positioned as a supplier of image sensors to advanced driver assistance systems. The stock outperformed after reporting results exceeding expectations and issuing guidance that was above estimates. Additionally, the company completed the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor and has realized acceleration in the realization of synergies from that transaction.

The largest detractors from performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index were AMC Entertainment Holdings (Consumer Discretionary), Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (Consumer Discretionary), and Otonomy, Inc. (Health Care). Shares of movie theater operator AMC Entertainment fell as a Chinese conglomerate which owns 60% of the equity in AMC encountered liquidity issues, raising investor fears that the conglomerate could become a forced seller of the stock. Cheesecake Factory Incorporated, an operator of chain restaurants, underperformed after reporting disappointing earnings and subsequently lowering their full year guidance. Otonomy, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on therapeutics for diseases and disorders of the ear, fell after the company surprisingly announced the phase three trial for a drug related to the treatment of Meniere’s disease failed to show meaningful difference from the placebo and the firm decided to cease further development.

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?

When we look at the market landscape, we begin with valuations which are stretched in our view. The saving grace is the very low level of interest rates, which we believe does allow for higher price-earning ratios. In fact, we believe small cap is attractively valued relative to U.S. Treasuries on an earnings yield basis. Relative to large cap U.S. equities smaller cap companies are fairly valued in our view. We are much more comfortable with valuations relative to large caps than we were at the beginning of the year and we are finding more investment ideas in the smaller cap space.

On the corporate front there is good evidence that businesses are relatively optimistic. A leading small business association, the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business) publishes an optimism index which has been elevated since President Trump won the U.S. election. This is a particularly positive indicator given the impact that small businesses have on the U.S. economy: these companies account for 83% of the jobs in the non-farm payrolls (the standard government measure to assess employment conditions). That said, the NFIB Uncertainty Index, although at lower levels than pre-election was still elevated at the end of the period.

It is also worth noting that the yield curve continued to flatten as of the end of the period. The market and the U.S. Federal Reserve are at odds in the number of rate increases in the coming year. The

market is currently expecting an increase in December 2017 and one increase in 2018. The Federal Reserve, on the other hand, is signaling one increase this December and three in 2018. We believe higher short-term rates and lower long-term rates will result in technical pressure on the yield curve that was at its flattest level since 2005 as of the end of the period.

While there is much debate on the root reason for the yield curve flattening, our view is that rising rates signal that economic growth is more certain. This may lead to outperformance by cyclical equities (Industrials, Materials, Consumer Discretionary and the Financials).

There is a debate occurring about what stage of the economic cycle we are in. This has been the longest post-war recovery on record with some suggesting there must be an imminent end to the expansion. However, we would assert that recoveries do not die of old age. We would also point out that this eight-year recovery as of October 31, 2017, while long, has also been less robust than average. Annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth has averaged 2.1% during this recovery. Prior post-war recoveries have had average annual GDP growth ranging from 3.2% to 7.4%.

Additionally, in our analysis of companies we are not seeing acceleration in capital expenditure, which is a typical late cycle behavior. This can be a sign of overly optimistic demand projections.

We are concerned about the potential for inflation. We feel that central banks globally have been underpricing inflation risk. An unexpected rise in inflation would be an event that could create a pullback in the market and perhaps an economic recession.

A Word about Risk

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. Small-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities and may be less liquid than other types of investments. The main risk of real estate related securities is that the value of the underlying real estate may decrease in value. The Fund may be adversely affected when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund returned 18.57%, before sales charge, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2017, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index, which returned 24.68% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed the 21.30% average return of the Lipper Mid-Cap Core peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, during the period.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. small - and mid-capitalization equities, as measured by the Russell 2500 Index, rose over the one year period ended October 31, 2017. During this twelve-month period we saw the U.S. equity market deliver strong performance, however there were notable changes in market leadership that occurred throughout the year. In November 2016, the Fund’s fiscal year began with the Fund’s benchmark rising by 10.25% to year-end 2017 as the stock market surged post-President Trump’s election victory. The rally was driven by the smallest domestic companies as well as those that were perceived to benefit from increased infrastructure spending, lowered corporate tax rates and rising interest rates. The U.S. small cap market, as represented by the Russell 2000 gained 13.91% over that two month period compared to the U.S. large cap market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, which only rose 5.30% in the same time interval.

The arrival of 2017 marked a change in market leadership as investors began to question the new administration’s ability to accomplish many of its goals that had been priced in the two months following President Trump’s election victory. Large cap, growth and high quality stocks outperformed the broader market. Companies with more foreign earnings (aided by the weaker dollar) also outperformed their more domestically oriented peers.

Companies that we viewed as both high quality and momentum companies were the strongest performing companies in the first ten months of 2017.

Eight of the ten sectors within the Russell 2500 Index posted positive returns during the period. The Technology (+17%), Health Care (+13%), Producer Durables (+12%) sectors were the strongest performers during the period, while the Energy (-8.77%), Consumer Staples (-1.25%), and Real Estate (8.90%) sectors were the laggards. Both security selection and allocation hindered the Fund’s performance versus the Russell 2500 Index during the period. Stock selection was strongest within the Real Estate and Technology sectors. The Consumer Discretionary and Producer Durables sectors were the largest laggards over the period. The Fund’s holdings also materially underperformed relative to the Russell 2500 in the Consumer Staples and Healthcare sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the Fund’s bottom-up stock selection, detracted from returns relative to the Russell 2500 Index over the period. An underweight to the Technology sector and the Fund’s cash allocation detracted from performance relative to the Russell 2500 Index but was partially offset by an underweight to the Real Estate and Energy sectors.

Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 2500 Index during the period included Catalent Inc (Health Care), ON Semiconductor Corporation (Technology), and Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (Producer Durables). Shares of contract manufacturing organization, Catalent, outperformed after a competitor received a buyout offer at a significant premium and Catalent reported a series of strong earnings and reaffirming guidance. ON Semiconductor manufactures a variety of semiconductors used in the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive and industrial verticals. To give one example, the company is well positioned as a supplier of image sensors to advanced driver assistance systems. The stock

outperformed after reporting results exceeding expectations and issuing guidance that was above estimates. Additionally, the company completed the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor and has realized acceleration in the realization of synergies from that transaction. Shares of Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc., a manufacturer of transmissions for commercial vehicles, outperformed due to strong top-line performance driven by solid end market demand. Management also raised their 2017 guidance. The company is also sensitive to the health of the United States economy and has benefited from a better than expected third quarter gross domestic product number.

The largest detractors from performance relative to the Russell 2500 Index were Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (Consumer Discretionary), Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (Consumer Discretionary), and Gulfport Energy Corporation (Energy). Advance Auto Parts, Inc., a retailer of automotive aftermarket parts, has struggled due to reporting earnings that were below investor’s expectations and management lowering its full year outlook. There is also an overhang on stock as investors are concerned with Amazon entering into the “do-it-yourself” auto repair business. More recently the stock has declined on fears around an industry slowdown as well as management lowering near-term expectations for the company. Shares of Spectrum Brands, a diversified consumer products company, fell after reporting disappointing earnings to a weaker than expected top-line. Despite releasing earnings that were above investors’ expectations, Gulfport Energy declined in-line with natural gas prices (as well as other natural gas names) as a warm winter and concerns of supply growth have weighed on the stock. Additionally, the market reacted poorly to the company’s acquisition of properties in Oklahoma. The perception was the company overpaid for these assets.

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.

When we look at the market landscape, we begin with valuations which are stretched in our view.

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, if any, and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC), if any, 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 May 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017. To the extent a Fund was subject to acquired fund fees and expenses during the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio below.

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) and CDSC. 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).

Note: Percentage of investments as shown is the ratio of the total market value to total net assets.

 

     Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally 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.

 

     Other than the industry classifications “Other Investment Pools & Funds,” equity industry classifications used in this report are the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and service mark of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

 

     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.

 

* Non-income producing.

 

(1)  Investment valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

(2)  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 October 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of these securities was $12,239, which represented 0.0% 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.

 

(3)  This security has been identified as 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. The identification of illiquid securities is unaudited. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $12,239, which represents 0.0% of total net assets.

 

(4)  Securities issued within terms of a private placement memorandum and exempt from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise indicated, these holdings are determined to be liquid. At October 31, 2017, the aggregate value of these securities was $16,459,723, which represented 1.2% of total net assets.

 

(5)  Current yield as of period end.

1. Organization:

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end registered management investment company comprised of thirteen series, as of October 31, 2017. Financial statements of each series of the Company listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report.

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.:

Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund (the “Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund”)

Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Emerging Markets Equity Fund”)

Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund (the “Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund”)

Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund (the “Global Strategic Bond Fund”)

Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund (the “International Multi-Cap Value Fund”)

Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund (the “International Stock Fund”)

Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund (the “Tax-Aware Bond Fund”)

Hartford Schroders US Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the “US Small Cap Opportunities Fund”)

Hartford Schroders US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund (the “US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund”)

The assets of each Fund are separate, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Each Fund, except Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund and Global Strategic Bond Fund, is a diversified open-end management investment company. Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund and Global Strategic Bond Fund, are non-diversified open-end management investment companies. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Each Fund has registered for sale Class A, Class T, Class C, Class I, Class Y, Class F and Class SDR shares. As of October 31, 2017 Class T shares have not commenced operations. In addition, each Fund, except Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund and Tax-Aware Bond Fund, has registered for sale Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5 shares. Each Fund’s Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%, except Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Global Strategic Bond Fund and Tax-Aware Bond Fund for which Class A shares are sold with front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. Class T shares of each Fund have a front-end sales charge of up to 2.50%. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Classes I, R3, R4, R5, Y, F and SDR shares are sold without a sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, redemption, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, with the exceptions that each class may have different expenses, which may affect performance.

 

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 per share net asset value (“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 securities and other assets held in the Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported trade prices or official close price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices 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 security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company. Market prices are

 

 

  127  

 


Hartford Schroders Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

October 31, 2017

 

 

 

  considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker 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 holdings or assets. In addition, market prices are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities or other instruments 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 will generally be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service approved by the 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. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments 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 holding is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair 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 and senior floating rate interests), non-exchange-traded derivatives and centrally cleared swaps held by a Fund are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services in accordance with procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Generally, a Fund may use fair valuation in regard to fixed income positions when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed investments or investments in a company in which a reorganization is pending. 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 exceeded 60 days.

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 a last trade price is not available, the value will be 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 options privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“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 securities or other instruments 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 as determined in accordance with its valuation procedures. Such open-end mutual funds may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.

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 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 the 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, which is chaired by the Company’s Treasurer, 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. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of such Fund’s sub-adviser, as applicable, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. 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 the 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.

 

  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.

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. A Fund many also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends or interest from securities in which the Fund invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and 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 – A 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 shareholders. 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 of the Fund. 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 Company’s Board of Directors. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, International Stock Fund, US Small Cap Opportunities Fund and US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. The policy of Global Strategic Bond Fund and Tax-Aware Bond Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly, and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. The policy of Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund and International Multi-Cap Value Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly, 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)

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

 

 

  130  

 


Hartford Schroders Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

  also purchase certain 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 Company’s Board of Directors. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for illiquid or restricted investments as of October 31, 2017.

 

  b) 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-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 October 31, 2017.

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. These transactions are excluded from a Fund’s portfolio turnover. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for TBA commitments as of October 31, 2017.

 

  c) Mortgage Related and Other Asset Backed Securities – A Fund 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 October 31, 2017.

 

  d) Inflation Indexed Bonds – A Fund 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 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 October 31, 2017.

 

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

 

 

  131  

 


Hartford Schroders Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

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 may be used in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities 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. Upon entering into a foreign currency contract, a Fund may be required to post margin equal to its outstanding exposure thereunder.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Global Strategic Bond Fund and International Multi-Cap Value Fund had engaged in Foreign Currency Contracts.

 

  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 risk 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 and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value (“variation margin”) is paid or received 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.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Global Strategic Bond Fund, International Multi-Cap Value Fund, Tax-Aware Bond Fund, US Small Cap Opportunities Fund and US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund had engaged in Futures Contracts.

 

  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 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 segregate or earmark cash or other liquid investments having, for written call options, a value equal to the greater of the exercise price or the market value of the underlying instrument and, for written put options, a value equal to the exercise price. Writing put options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options may decrease 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 may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options may decrease 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 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 OTC 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.

During the year ended October 31, 2017, Global Strategic Bond Fund had engaged in Options Contracts.

 

  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 through a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“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 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 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. However, the Fund is still exposed to a certain amount of 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 credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, asset or basket of assets. 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.

During the year ended October 31, 2017, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund and Global Strategic Bond Fund had engaged in Credit Default Swaps.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts – Certain Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A Fund may use interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate and duration risk across a portfolio at particular duration points to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. 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.

During the year ended October 31, 2017, Global Strategic Bond Fund had engaged in Interest Rate Swaps.

For the year ended October 31, 2017, the average amount or number per contract outstanding for each derivative type was as follows:

 

Derivative Description

   Average Notional
Par, Contracts
or Face Amount
 

Futures Contracts Short at Number of Contracts

     (51

 

  (1)  Amount represents the cumulative appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts as disclosed within the Schedule of Investments under the open “Futures Contracts” section. Only current day’s variation margin, if any, is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
  (2)  Amount represents the cumulative appreciation (depreciation) on centrally cleared swaps, if applicable, as 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 October 31, 2017:

5. Principal Risks:

A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.

The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative 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. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Certain investments held by a Fund expose the Fund to various risks which may include, but are not limited to, interest rate, prepayment, and extension 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.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.

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. 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.

 

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 year. 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, 2017. 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 each Fund.

 

  c) Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings – The tax character of distributions paid by each Fund for the years ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 are as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable, if applicable):

  e) 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 of capital loss carryforwards and utilization or write-off of 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 October 31, 2017, the Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below:

  f) 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 October 31, 2017 (tax year end), the capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Fund

   Unlimited
Short-Term
Capital Loss
Carryforward
     Unlimited
Long-Term
Capital Loss
Carryforward
 

Emerging Markets Debt and Currency

   $ 1,711,053      $

     3,807,536        2,013,584  

International Stock

     1,453,967        4,097,378  

The International Multi-Cap Value Fund, Tax-Aware Bond Fund, US Small Cap Opportunities Fund and US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund had no capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of October 31, 2017.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, International Multi-Cap Value Fund and International Stock Fund utilized $2,479,512, $800,286, $16,207,318 and $1,306,713 of prior year capital loss carryforwards, respectively. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the International Stock Fund had expired prior year capital loss carryforwards of $3,224,422.

 

  g) 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 October 31, 2017, 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.

Under the current tax law, net investment losses realized after December 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. At October 31, 2017, none of the Funds elected to defer Late-Year Ordinary Losses.

 

7. Expenses:

 

  a) Investment Management Agreement – Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) serves as each Fund’s investment manager pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Company. 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. HFMC has contracted with Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”) under a sub-advisory agreement and SIMNA has contracted with Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.”) under a sub-sub-advisory agreement with respect to certain Funds. SIMNA performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. SIMNA Ltd. also performs daily investment of the assets for each of Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, International Stock Fund, International Multi-Cap Value Fund and Global Strategic Bond Fund. Each Fund pays a fee to HFMC, a portion of which may be used to compensate SIMNA.

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 the Company are allocated to each series within the Company, and allocated to classes within each such series, in proportion to the average daily net assets of such series and classes, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to a Fund or to specific classes within a Fund. As of October 31, 2017, HFMC contractually limited the total operating expenses of each Fund, exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses, through October 24, 2018 as follows:

  d) Fees Paid Indirectly – Certain Funds 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 a Fund’s 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 October 31, 2017, these amounts, if any, are included in the Statements of Operations.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the adoption of a separate distribution plan (each a “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for each of Class A, T, C, R3 and R4 shares. Under a Plan, Class A, Class T, Class C, Class R3 and Class R4 shares of a Fund, as applicable, bear distribution and/or service fees paid to HFD, some of which may be paid to select broker-dealers. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A 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 T Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class T 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. As of October 31, 2017, Class T shares have not commenced operations. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. The Class C Plan also provides that HFD will receive all contingent deferred sales charges attributable to Class C shares. Pursuant to the Class R3 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R3 shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Pursuant to the Class R4 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for distribution financing activities. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Each Fund’s 12b-1 fees are accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine.

These fees, which are not sales charges, were retained by the Predecessor Funds and not paid to Schroder Fund Advisors LLC (“SFA”), or any other entity. The redemption fees are included in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets under “Redemption fees,” and are included as part of “Paid-in-Capital” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent to the reorganization, the Funds did not impose any redemption fees.

Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to each Fund. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, HASCO contractually agreed to reimburse any portion of the transfer agency fees over 0.30% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for each class. HASCO contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for Class F shares until February 28, 2018. Any transfer agency fee reimbursement is determined before considering the contractual operating expense limitation. For providing such services during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, HASCO was compensated on a per account basis that varies by account type, except with respect to Class Y, for which it was compensated based on average daily net assets. Prior to May 1, 2017, Class Y shares were subject to a fee cap on transfer agency fees. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”), HASCO has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent functions to BFDS. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by HASCO, not by the Funds. The accrued amount shown in the Statement of Operations reflects the amount charged by HASCO. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the effective rate of compensation paid to HASCO for transfer agency services before waivers and/or reimbursements as a percentage of each Class’s average daily net assets is as follows:

12. Line of Credit:

Each Fund participates in a committed line of credit pursuant to a credit agreement. Each Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds (together with certain other Hartford Funds) may borrow up to $375 million in the aggregate, subject to asset coverage and other limitations specified in the credit agreement. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also charges a commitment fee, which is allocated to each of the funds participating in the line of credit based on average net assets of the funds. During the year ended October 31, 2017, none of the Funds had borrowings under this facility.

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, among other things, added as new plaintiffs The Hartford Floating Rate Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund and named as a defendant Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), which assumed the role as investment manager to the funds as of January 2013. In June 2015, HFMC and HIFSCO moved for summary judgment, and plaintiffs cross-moved for partial summary judgment with respect to The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund. In March 2016, the court, in large part, denied summary judgment for all parties. The court granted judgment for HFMC and HIFSCO with respect to all claims made by The Hartford Small Company Fund and certain claims made by The Hartford Floating Rate Fund. The court further ruled that the appropriate measure of damages on the surviving claims is the difference, if any, between the actual advisory fees paid through trial and those that could have been paid under the applicable legal standard. A bench trial on the issue of liability was held in November 2016. On February 28, 2017, the court granted judgment for HIFSCO and HFMC as to all claims. On March 23, 2017, plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

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. Indemnifications:

Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland General Corporation Law and federal securities laws. In addition, the Company, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

15. Subsequent Events:

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended October 31, 2017, events and transactions subsequent to October 31, 2017, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. The following subsequent events requiring financial statement adjustment or disclosure have been identified.

Effective November 1, 2017, the Company, on behalf of each Fund, entered into an Amended and Restated Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (“Agreement”). Effective November 1, 2017, under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to such Fund. Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to BFDS (and any other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and BFDS (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”); (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO

that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin. Effective November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2019, HASCO has also contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fees as follows: 0.25% (Class A), 0.25% (Class T), 0.25% (Class C), 0.20% (Class I), 0.02% (Class R3), 0.02% (Class R4), 0.02% (Class R5), 0.06% (Class Y) and 0.004% (Class SDR). HASCO has also contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for Class F shares until February 28, 2018, and thereafter, has agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fee at 0.004% of the average daily net assets for Class F shares through February 28, 2019. Each contractual arrangement, except the reimbursement of the entire transfer agency fee for Class F, will automatically renew for one-year terms thereafter unless HASCO provides written notice of termination prior to start of the next term or upon approval of the applicable Board.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.

 

 

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund, Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund, Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders US Small Cap Opportunities Fund and Hartford Schroders US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund (collectively, the Funds) (nine of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (the Company)) as of October 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Funds for the periods presented through October 31, 2015, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 22, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or 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 Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund, Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund, Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders US Small Cap Opportunities Fund, and Hartford Schroders US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund (nine of the series constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.) at October 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund

Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund

Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund

Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund

Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund

Hartford Schroders US Small/Mid Cap Opportunities Fund

Each of the funds listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) is the successor to a corresponding series of Schroder Series Trust and Schroder Capital Funds (Delaware) (each a “Predecessor Fund” and collectively, the “Predecessor Funds”), pursuant to a reorganization consummated on October 24, 2016. Each Fund has an investment objective and strategies substantially similar to those of its corresponding Predecessor Fund.

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 1-2, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (“HMF II”), including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) by and between HMF II, on behalf of each of its funds listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”); (ii) the continuation of an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) by and between HFMC and each Fund’s sub-adviser, Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA Inc.”); and (iii) the continuation of a separate secondary sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively with the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) by and between SIMNA Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.,” together with SIMNA Inc., the “Sub-advisers,” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”) on behalf of Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund and Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Sub-Sub-Advised Funds”).

In the months preceding the August 1-2, 2017 meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers 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, as applicable, with respect 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 approval of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meetings held on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal, compliance and risk management matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Board also considered the materials and in-person presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC received at the Board’s meetings on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017 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, as applicable. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 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 Management Agreement.

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

 

 

 

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 and appropriate 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 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. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements and, throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds. The Independent Directors were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, 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 also 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 about each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and compliance issues raised by regulators, as well as each Adviser’s commitment to implement rulemaking initiatives of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, as well as the efforts of the Advisers to combat cybersecurity risks and invest in business continuity planning.

With respect to HFMC, the Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, HFMC is responsible for the management of the Funds, including oversight of fund operations and service providers, and the provision of administrative and investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Sub-advisers. 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 Hartford Funds’ 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 periodic due diligence reviews of each Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of each Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations 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 day-to-day oversight of each Fund’s compliance with its 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. Moreover, the Board considered HFMC’s oversight of potential conflicts of interest between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by the Funds’ portfolio management personnel.

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 the launch of new funds in recent years. The Board considered that HFMC is responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.

With respect to SIMNA Inc. and SIMNA Ltd., which provide certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds and the Sub-Sub-Advised Funds, respectively, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, the quality of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), each Sub-adviser’s other investment personnel, its investment philosophy and process, its investment research capabilities and resources, its performance record, its trade execution capabilities and its experience. The Board considered the experience of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the number of accounts managed by the portfolio manager(s), and each 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-advisers.

Performance of each Fund and the Advisers

The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, which included the performance of its applicable Predecessor Fund. The Board noted that each Predecessor Fund had been managed by SIMNA Inc., and each Sub-Sub-Advised Fund’s corresponding Predecessor Fund had been sub-advised by SIMNA Ltd. 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 Broadridge comparing the investment performance of each Fund to an appropriate universe of peer funds. The Board also noted that, for Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Debt and Currency Fund, there existed no peer group with a strong correlation to the Fund’s investment strategy. For that Fund, the Board considered supplemental performance evaluation information. For details 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, including in connection with the approval of the Agreements. These reports include, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance relative to an appropriate benchmark and peer group (if available), 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 and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. 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 each Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Funds, as applicable.

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, including information regarding profitability trends over time. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-advisers. The Board considered representations from HFMC and SIMNA Inc. that SIMNA Inc.’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a fund-by-fund basis and that the sub-advisory fees would be paid by HFMC and not the Funds. The Board also considered that SIMNA Ltd. is an affiliate of SIMNA Inc. and that SIMNA Ltd.’s sub-sub-advisory fees would be paid by SIMNA Ltd., not the Sub-Sub-Advised Funds. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Sub-advisers is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Board considered the Consultant’s review of the methodologies and estimates used by HFMC in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreement, noting the Consultant’s view that HFMC’s process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is reasonable and consistent with the process previously reviewed by the Consultant. 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 consistent with 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 the comparative information that had been provided at meetings on June 20-21, 2017 and August 1-2, 2017 with respect to the services rendered to and 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 SIMNA Inc. with respect to each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HFMC and SIMNA Inc. 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 HFMC’s undertaking to limit each Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to specified levels. The Board also reviewed information from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees and overall expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge, in consultation with the Consultant. For details regarding each Fund’s expenses, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.

While the Board recognized that comparisons between a Fund and its 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 Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses, in conjunction with 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 considered information regarding the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. 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 considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce each Fund’s expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund’s assets decline. The Board recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a lower breakpoint quickly provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates and pricing the Funds to scale at inception are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses, which has resulted in benefits being realized by shareholders as assets within the Hartford Funds family of funds have grown over time, including through lower operating expenses. The Board also noted that the Funds were reorganized into the Hartford Funds family of funds in October 2016.

The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Broadridge 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, Broadridge, 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.

The Board noted that HFMC receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Funds, and the Board considered information on profits to 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. The Board considered that it had approved: (i) the imposition of a direct account fee effective June 1, 2017; (ii) changes to the transfer agency fee structure effective November 1, 2017; and (iii) changes to the expense limitation on transfer agency fees for each share class of each Fund effective November 1, 2017. The Board reviewed information about the profitability to HASCO of the Funds’ transfer agency function, including the anticipated impact of the new fee structure on transfer agent profit margins. The Board noted that under the new transfer agency fee structure, the Funds will pay a fee to HASCO based on actual fees and expenses incurred by HASCO, including payments made by HASCO to a sub-transfer agent and to other financial intermediaries subject to guidelines approved by the Board, plus a reasonable target profit margin. The Board considered information provided by HASCO indicating that, after giving effect to the new fee structure, 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 distribution and service fees from the Funds and receives all or a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares. The Board also noted that certain affiliates of HFD distribute shares of the Funds and receive compensation in that regard. The Board also considered that Schroder Fund Advisors LLC (“SFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIMNA Inc.,

 

 

  178

has entered into an additional compensation arrangement with HFMC and HFD. The Board considered that under this arrangement, SFA is involved in the distribution of the Class SDR Shares of the Funds, and HFMC compensates SFA for such services.

The Board considered the benefits, if any, to the Sub-advisers from any use of a Fund’s brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research. The Board also considered that SIMNA Inc. has entered into a solicitation agreement with HFMC pursuant to which HFMC provides certain marketing support services with respect to an investment strategy model offered by SIMNA Inc. through its managed account platforms.

The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the Hartford Funds family of funds, including, with respect to certain share classes, the right to exchange investments between the same class of funds without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other funds in the family, and the ability to combine holdings in a Fund with holdings in other funds to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the fund family with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes and the assumption of entrepreneurial and other risks by HFMC in sponsoring new funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.

Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s New Transfer Agency Fee (Unaudited – Not Part of the Annual Report)

 

 

 

Effective November 1, 2017, The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (the “Company”), on behalf of the funds listed in the table below (each a “Fund”), entered into an Amended and Restated Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”). Effective November 1, 2017, under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to such Fund. Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. (“BFDS”) (and any other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and BFDS (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”); (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin. Effective November 1, 2017 through February 28, 2019, HASCO has also contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fees as follows: 0.25% (Class A), 0.25% (Class T), 0.25% (Class C), 0.20% (Class I), 0.02% (Class R3), 0.02% (Class R4), 0.02% (Class R5), 0.06% (Class Y) and 0.004% (Class SDR). HASCO has also contractually agreed to reimburse all transfer agency fees for Class F shares until February 28, 2018, and thereafter, has agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of the transfer agency fee to the extent necessary to maintain the transfer agency fee at 0.004% of the average daily net assets for Class F shares through February 28, 2019. Each contractual arrangement, except the reimbursement of the entire transfer agency fee for Class F, will automatically renew for one-year terms thereafter unless HASCO provides written notice of termination prior to start of the next term or upon approval of the Board.

If this new arrangement were in place during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the effective rate of compensation paid to HASCO for transfer agency services after waivers and/or reimbursements as a percentage of each Class’ average daily net assets would have been as follows:

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.

  (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:

 

    Non-Audit Fees: $1,395,913 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016; $75,131 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017.

 

  (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.
