YOUR EXPENSES.
Expense, Narrative rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Hartford Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the “Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 87 of the Fund's statutory prospectus and the “Purchase and Redemption of Shares” section beginning on page 148 of the Fund's statement of additional information.

Portfolio Turnover.
Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in  annual fund operating expenses or in the examples, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 55% of the average value of its portfolio
Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 55.00%

Example.
Expense Example, Narrative rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

The examples below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that:

 

•                  Your investment has a 5% return each year

•                  The Fund's operating expenses remain the same (except that the examples reflect the expense limitation arrangements for only the first year)

•                  You reinvest all dividends and distributions

•                  You pay any deferred sales charge due for the applicable period.

 

Your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions, for every $10,000 invested, you would pay the following expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:
Expense Example, No Redemption, By Year, Caption rr_ExpenseExampleNoRedemptionByYearCaption

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY.
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies covering a broad range of industries and market capitalizations, focusing on securities that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), believes are undervalued and have the potential for appreciation.  The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities.
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading

PRINCIPAL RISKS.
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money as a result of your investment. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. For more information regarding risks and investment matters, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and "More Information About Risks" in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.
 
Market Risk −Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Securities may decline in value due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies or to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets.
 
Value Investing Style Risk −Using a value investing style to select investments involves special risks, particularly if it is used as part of a “contrarian” approach to evaluating issuers. Overlooked or otherwise undervalued securities entail a significant risk of never attaining their potential value. Also, the value investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
 
Foreign Investments Risk −Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions, may affect the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign securities. Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Fund’s foreign investments.
 
Currency Risk −The risk that the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign securities or currencies will be affected by the value of the applicable currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the Fund sells a foreign currency or foreign currency denominated security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the investment increases in value in its local market. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the revenue earned by issuers of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer’s local currency.
 
Equity Risk −The risk that the price of equity or equity related securities may decline due to changes in a company's financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.
 
Mid Cap and Small Cap Securities Risk −Investments in small capitalization and mid capitalization companies involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Many of these companies are young and have limited operating or business history. These securities may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face greater business risks, including the risk of bankruptcy.
 
Investment Strategy Risk −The risk that, if the sub-adviser’s investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
 
The Fund is subject to certain other risks, which are discussed in “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and "More Information About Risks" in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.
Risk, Lose Money rr_RiskLoseMoney
When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money as a result of your investment. 
Risk, Not Insured Depository Institution rr_RiskNotInsuredDepositoryInstitution
