A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholders

Thank you for investing in Hartford Mutual Funds. The following is the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report that covers the period from November 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024.

Market Review

During the six months ended April 30, 2024, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,¹ gained 20.98%. The period covered by this report marked the return of a new bull market for stocks, propelled in large part by a combination of U.S. economic resilience, a continued strong appetite among investors for stocks in the technology sector, and persistent hopes that recent uneven progress against inflation would ultimately not deter the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) from cutting interest rates sometime in 2024.

As the period began in November 2023, equities were digging themselves out of an early-autumn slump and regaining strength. The change in investor sentiment was triggered by a stream of positive economic data that pointed to shrinking inflation, low unemployment, steady wage growth, and strong labor-force participation.

In December 2023, optimism surged as the Fed held its federal funds rate steady while hinting at the possibility of up to three rate cuts in 2024. As markets rallied on hopes of imminent rate cuts, Fed Chair Jerome Powell sought to dampen expectations by emphasizing the Fed’s need for data-driven evidence of progress toward achieving its 2% inflation target. Chair Powell’s remarks in late January 2024 took the anticipated March 2024 rate cut off the table.

During the period, investors continued to place big bets on artificial intelligence by pouring billions into the stocks of the so-called Magnificent Seven.² By March 2024, each of the major U.S. stock indices had hit new record highs as investors became convinced that the Fed had found the path to achieving the sought-after soft-landing scenario of lower inflation without a recession.

The months of January, February, and March 2024 saw the release of three consecutive Consumer Price Index (CPI)³ reports pointing to stickier-than-expected inflation levels, with prices for housing, travel, services, and energy remaining stubbornly high. With the specter of inflation still looming, some analysts—so-called “no-landing” proponents—began to suggest that the Fed might not cut rates in 2024 at all.

In early April 2024, the rally that had propelled equities to new all-time highs began to falter as investors developed fresh concerns around the Fed’s timetable for rate cuts. In mid-April 2024, Chair Powell cautioned that interest rate cuts may occur later than anticipated.

In the weeks and months ahead, markets will likely be focused on the emergence of fresh inflation data as well as the potential impacts of geopolitical events in the Middle East and a looming U.S. presidential election. With market volatility likely to persist, it’s more important than ever to maintain a strong relationship with your financial professional.

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. The table does not reflect the deductions of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. 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 hartfordfunds.com.

Total returns presented above were calculated using the applicable class' net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on 04/30/2024, 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. The total returns presented in the Financial Highlights section of the report are calculated in the same manner, but also take into account certain adjustments that are necessary under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the total returns in the Financial Highlights section may differ from the total returns presented above.

Class R6 shares commenced operations on 11/07/2014 and performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class Y shares. Class F shares commenced operations on 02/28/2017 and performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class I shares. Performance prior to an inception date of a class has not been adjusted to reflect the operating expenses of such class.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Risks of focusing investments on the healthcare related sector include regulatory and legal developments, changes in funding or subsidies, patent and intellectual property considerations, intense competitive pressures, rapid technological changes, long and costly process for obtaining product approval by government agencies, potential product obsolescence, rising cost of medical products and services, and price volatility risk. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets.

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 November 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024. 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 ratios 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 The 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 for a class of a Fund are equal to the class' annualized expense ratio multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
