Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 62% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund normally invests at least 65% of its net assets in common stocks. The Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization, but tends to focus on medium and large companies. The Fund seeks its investment objective by employing a multiple portfolio manager structure, which means the Fund has several components that are managed separately using different investment styles. Each component sleeve has a distinct investment philosophy and analytical process to identify specific securities for purchase or sale. Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, does not allocate a set percentage to any of these sleeves but instead seeks a flexible and diversified Fund profile. Together the investment strategies represent a wide range of investment philosophies, companies, industries and market capitalizations. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market. The Fund may trade portfolio securities actively.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
Large Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Mid-Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies.
Active Investment Management 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.
Asset Allocation Risk –  The risk that if the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different portfolio management teams does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. The investment styles employed by the portfolio managers may not be complementary, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Active Trading Risk –  Active trading could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and may increase your tax liability as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects may adversely affect Fund performance.
4

Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.
PAST PERFORMANCE. The performance information indicates the risks of investing in the Fund. Keep in mind that past performance does not indicate future results. Updated performance information is available at hartfordfunds.com. The returns in the bar chart and table:

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial professional), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

Ask your financial professional or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of issuers located primarily in the United States. Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, chooses the Fund’s investments using fundamental research designed to identify issuers with improving quality metrics, business momentum and attractive relative valuations. The fundamental research emphasizes the sustainability of a business’s competitive advantages, revenue and margin drivers, and cash generation capacity. This research is aided by a proprietary screening tool that helps to identify companies with these characteristics. The Fund’s portfolio seeks to be broadly diversified by industry and company. The Fund may invest in a broad range of market capitalizations, but tends to focus on large capitalization companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the S&P 500 Index.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.

Example. The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as shown below, redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that:
Your investment has a 5% return each year
The Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the example reflects the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement reflected in the table above for only the first year)
You reinvest all dividends and distributions.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of equity securities that typically have above average dividend yields and whose prospects for capital appreciation are considered favorable by the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”). Under normal market and economic conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in dividend paying equity securities. The Fund tends to focus on securities of larger, well-established companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. The Fund’s portfolio seeks to be broadly diversified by company and industry. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to evaluate a security for purchase or sale by the Fund. As part of this analysis, Wellington Management evaluates a company’s ability to sustain and potentially increase its dividend payments. Wellington Management also evaluates a company’s business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of value, including the evaluation of financially material environmental, social, and/or governance (“ESG”) characteristics based on Wellington Management’s proprietary ESG research. Wellington Management believes the integration of financially material ESG characteristics into its investment process allows it to better assess strategic business issues that may impact the performance of a company. The factors that Wellington Management considers as part of its fundamental analysis, including the assessment of financially material ESG characteristics, contribute to its overall evaluation of a company’s risk and return potential.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
13

Dividend Risk –  Income provided by the Fund may be affected by changes in the dividend policies of the companies in which the Fund invests and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. At times, the performance of dividend-paying companies may lag the performance of other companies or the broader market as a whole. In addition, the dividend payments of the companies in which the Fund invests may vary over time, and there is no guarantee that a company will pay a dividend at all.
Large Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Active Investment Management 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. As part of the Fund’s investment strategy, the sub-adviser evaluates certain factors as part of the investment process, including ESG characteristics. The analysis of these factors may not work as intended. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and as a result, the companies (or issuers) in which the Fund invests may not be companies (or issuers) with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.
Foreign Investments Risk –  Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), 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. The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
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.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 24% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations above $2 billion. At the time of investment, every equity security in which the Fund invests must pay a dividend or be expected to pay a dividend within the next 12 months. The sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), uses fundamental analysis to identify securities that it believes offer above average yields, below average valuations and the potential for dividend increases in the future. Wellington Management’s fundamental analysis focuses on assessing valuation, quality and capital return with an emphasis on sustainable dividends. As part of this analysis, Wellington Management evaluates financial and competitive conditions, management quality, potential earnings, free cash flow, dividends, and other related measures or indicators of value, including financially material environmental, social, and/or governance (“ESG”) characteristics based on Wellington Management’s proprietary ESG research. Wellington Management believes the integration of financially material ESG characteristics into its investment process allows it to better assess strategic business issues that may impact the long-term quality, dividend sustainability, and ultimately the performance of a company. The factors that Wellington Management considers as part of its fundamental analysis, including the assessment of financially material ESG characteristics, contribute to its overall evaluation of a company’s risk and return potential. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
Dividend Risk –  Income provided by the Fund may be affected by changes in the dividend policies of the companies in which the Fund invests and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. At times, the performance of dividend-paying companies may lag the performance of other companies or the broader market as a whole. In addition, the dividend payments of the companies in which the Fund invests may vary over time, and there is no guarantee that a company will pay a dividend at all.
Large Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Mid-Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies.
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 or may even be overpriced. 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. “Value” securities can be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
18

Active Investment Management 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. As part of the Fund’s investment strategy, the sub-adviser evaluates certain factors as part of the investment process, including ESG characteristics. The analysis of these factors may not work as intended. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and as a result, the companies (or issuers) in which the Fund invests may not be companies (or issuers) with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Foreign Investments Risk –  Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), 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. The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
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.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 87% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks covering a broad range of industries, companies and market capitalizations that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), believes exhibit long-term growth potential. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization, but tends to focus on mid to large capitalization stocks. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. The Fund may trade securities actively. Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to identify companies with accelerating operating characteristics for purchase. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its normal bottom-up stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
Large Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
Mid-Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies.
Growth Investing Style Risk –  If the sub-adviser incorrectly assesses a company’s prospects for growth or how other investors will value the company’s growth, then the price of the company’s stock may decrease, or may not increase to the level anticipated by the sub-adviser. In addition, growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investors’ perceptions of the issuing company’s growth potential. Also, the growth investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the investing style used by the Fund is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Foreign Investments Risk –  Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), 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. The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
23

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.
Active Investment Management 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.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Active Trading Risk –  Active trading could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and may increase your tax liability as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects may adversely affect Fund performance.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 51% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the equity securities of health care-related companies worldwide as selected by the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”). Wellington Management’s investment process focuses on stock selection through fundamental analysis. The Fund takes a broad approach to investing in the health care sector. It may invest in health-related companies, including companies in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical delivery, medical products, medical services, managed health care, health information services and emerging health-related subsectors. The Fund’s assets will be allocated across the major subsectors of the health care sector, with some representation typically maintained in each major subsector. The Fund will normally invest at least 25% of its total assets, in the aggregate, in the following industries: pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, medical products and health services. The Fund will invest in securities of issuers located in a number of different countries throughout the world, one of which may be the United States; however, the Fund has no limit on the amount of assets that may be invested in each country. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
Healthcare Concentration Risk –  Developments affecting the healthcare sector, including the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, medical products, and health services industries, may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund. The Fund’s focus on healthcare-related securities increases its exposure to the risks associated with the healthcare sector, including changes in laws or regulations, lawsuits and regulatory proceedings, changes in funding or subsidies, patent and intellectual property considerations, intense competition and rapid technological change, the long and costly process for obtaining product approval by government agencies, the potential for obsolescence, and the rising cost of medical products and services (especially for companies dependent upon a relatively limited number of products or services). The success of pharmaceutical companies is highly dependent on the development, procurement and marketing of drugs. Demand for biotechnology products and services may fluctuate due to unexpected events, including but not limited to global health crises like pandemics which could strain health care systems and alter health care needs. Health care providers may have difficulty obtaining staff to deliver services. As a result of the Fund’s focus on the healthcare sector, the Fund may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse developments than a fund that invests more widely.
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 mid- and small-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.
Large Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
28

Active Investment Management 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.
Foreign Investments Risk –  Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), 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. The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
Emerging Markets Risk –  The risks related to investing in foreign securities are generally greater with respect to investments in companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets. The risks of investing in emerging markets include risks of illiquidity, increased price volatility, smaller market capitalizations, less government regulation and oversight, less extensive and less frequent accounting, financial, auditing and other reporting requirements, significant delays in settlement of trades, risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody and substantial economic and political disruptions. In addition, the imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), sanctions, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States and other governments may also result in losses. Frontier markets are those emerging markets that are considered to be among the smallest, least mature and least liquid, and as a result, the risks of investing in emerging markets are magnified in frontier markets.
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.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 28% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks its investment objective by investing primarily in stocks selected by the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), on the basis of potential for capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of mid-capitalization companies. Wellington Management favors companies that it believes are high-quality. The key characteristics of high-quality companies include a leadership position within an industry, a strong balance sheet, a high return on equity, and/or a strong management team. Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to evaluate a security for purchase or sale by the Fund. Fundamental analysis of a company involves the assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures and indicators of value, including the evaluation of financially material environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) characteristics based on Wellington Management’s proprietary ESG research. Wellington Management believes the integration of financially material ESG characteristics into its investment process allows it to better evaluate a company for factors that it deems relevant to future stock performance. The factors that Wellington Management considers as part of its fundamental analysis, including the assessment of financially material ESG characteristics, contribute to its overall evaluation of a company’s risk and return potential. The Fund’s portfolio seeks to be diversified across the sectors included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The amount the Fund invests in any one sector may vary and the Fund is not required to invest in all sectors. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its normal bottom-up stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
The Fund defines mid-capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations within the collective range of the Russell Midcap and S&P MidCap 400 Indices. As of December 31, 2021, this range was approximately $434.8 million to $71.69 billion. The market capitalization range of these indices changes over time.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
33

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 Securities Risk –  The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies.
Active Investment Management 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. As part of the Fund’s investment strategy, the sub-adviser evaluates certain factors as part of the investment process, including ESG characteristics. The analysis of these factors may not work as intended. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and as a result, the companies (or issuers) in which the Fund invests may not be companies (or issuers) with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial professional), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial professional to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial professional or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Example. The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as shown below, redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that:
Your investment has a 5% return each year
The Fund’s operating expenses remain the same
You reinvest all dividends and distributions.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 57% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in mid-capitalization companies, focusing on securities that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), believes are undervalued in the marketplace. The Fund defines mid-capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations within the collective range of the Russell Midcap and S&P MidCap 400 Indices. As of December 31, 2021, this range was approximately $434.8 million to $71.69 billion. The market capitalization range of these indices changes over time. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its normal bottom-up stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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 Securities Risk –  The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies.
Value Investing Style Risk –  Using a value investing style to select investments involves special risks. Overlooked or otherwise undervalued securities entail a significant risk of never attaining their potential value or may even be overpriced. 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. “Value” securities can be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
Active Investment Management 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.
Foreign Investments Risk –  Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), 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. The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
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.
38

Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) has 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 limit total annual fund operating expenses as follows: 0.96% (Class A), 1.71% (Class C), 0.66% (Class I), 1.18%, (Class R3), 0.88% (Class R4), 0.63% (Class R5), 0.46% (Class R6), 0.57% (Class Y), and 0.46% (Class F). This contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 28, 2023 unless the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. approves its earlier termination.
Example. The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as shown below, redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that:
Your investment has a 5% return each year
The Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the example reflects the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement reflected in the table above for only the first year)
You reinvest all dividends and distributions.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks of issuers located in the United States. Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, chooses the Fund’s investments using fundamental research to seek to identify high-quality companies demonstrating a commitment to dividends and shareholders and improving or sustainable operating characteristics. Wellington Management’s investment process focuses on companies that it believes are undervalued market leaders, industries with improving supply/demand trends, and companies that it believes are out-of-favor with less downside risk than the overall market. As part of its fundamental analysis, Wellington Management evaluates financially material environmental, social, and/or governance (“ESG”) characteristics based on Wellington Management’s proprietary ESG research. Wellington Management believes the integration of financially material ESG characteristics into its investment process allows it to better assess strategic business issues that may impact the performance of a company. The factors that Wellington Management considers as part of its fundamental analysis, including the assessment of financially material ESG characteristics, contribute to its overall evaluation of a company’s risk and return potential. The Fund may invest in a broad range of market capitalizations, but tends to focus on large capitalization companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Fund’s portfolio seeks to be broadly diversified by company and industry. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its normal stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
Large Cap Securities Risk –  The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
43

Value Investing Style Risk –  Using a value investing style to select investments involves special risks. Overlooked or otherwise undervalued securities entail a significant risk of never attaining their potential value or may even be overpriced. 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. “Value” securities can be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
Dividend Risk –  Income provided by the Fund may be affected by changes in the dividend policies of the companies in which the Fund invests and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. At times, the performance of dividend-paying companies may lag the performance of other companies or the broader market as a whole. In addition, the dividend payments of the companies in which the Fund invests may vary over time, and there is no guarantee that a company will pay a dividend at all.
Active Investment Management 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. As part of the Fund’s investment strategy, the sub-adviser evaluates certain factors as part of the investment process, including ESG characteristics. The analysis of these factors may not work as intended. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and as a result, the companies (or issuers) in which the Fund invests may not be companies (or issuers) with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Example. The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as shown below, redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that:
Your investment has a 5% return each year
The Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the example reflects the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement reflected in the table above for only the first year)
You reinvest all dividends and distributions.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 48% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks of small capitalization companies that the Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), believes have superior growth potential. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of small capitalization companies. Wellington Management uses fundamental research designed to identify issuers with improving quality metrics, business momentum and attractive relative valuations. The investment process is aided by a proprietary screening tool that helps to identify companies with these characteristics. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its normal bottom-up stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
The Fund defines small capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations within the collective range of the Russell 2000 and S&P SmallCap 600 Indices. As of December 31, 2021, this range was approximately $31.6 million to $13.96 billion. The market capitalization range of these indices changes over time.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
Small Cap Securities Risk –  Investments in small 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.
Growth Investing Style Risk –  If the sub-adviser incorrectly assesses a company’s prospects for growth or how other investors will value the company’s growth, then the price of the company’s stock may decrease, or may not increase to the level anticipated by the sub-adviser. In addition, growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they
48

are more sensitive to investors’ perceptions of the issuing company’s growth potential. Also, the growth investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the investing style used by the Fund is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
Active Investment Management 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.
Volatility Risk –  The Fund’s investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant changes in value over short periods of time.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.
PAST PERFORMANCE. The performance information indicates the risks of investing in the Fund. Keep in mind that past performance does not indicate future results. Updated performance information is available at hartfordfunds.com. The returns in the bar chart and table:

Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) has 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 limit total annual fund operating expenses as follows: 1.30% (Class A), 2.05% (Class C), 1.00% (Class I), 1.50% (Class R3), 1.20% (Class R4), 0.90% (Class R5), 0.80% (Class R6), 0.85% (Class Y) and 0.80% (Class F).

Example. The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as shown below, redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that:
Your investment has a 5% return each year
The Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the example reflects the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement reflected in the table above for only the first year)
You reinvest all dividends and distributions.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 60% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of small capitalization companies. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. The Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), primarily invests in securities it believes are undervalued in the marketplace. Wellington Management’s investment process combines a proprietary, systematic screening process and bottom-up fundamental analysis. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its normal bottom-up stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
The Fund defines small capitalization companies as companies with a market capitalization within the range of the Russell 2000 Index. As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalization of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index ranged from approximately $31.6 million to $13.96 billion. The market capitalization range of this index changes over time.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
Small Cap Securities Risk –  Investments in small 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.
Active Investment Management 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.
53

Value Investing Style Risk –  Using a value investing style to select investments involves special risks. Overlooked or otherwise undervalued securities entail a significant risk of never attaining their potential value or may even be overpriced. 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. “Value” securities can be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
Volatility Risk –  The Fund’s investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant changes in value over short periods of time.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Foreign Investments Risk –  Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), 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. The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
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.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as shown below, redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that:
Your investment has a 5% return each year
The Fund’s operating expenses remain the same
You reinvest all dividends and distributions.

Portfolio Turnover. 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 example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 123% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks selected on the basis of potential for capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of small capitalization companies. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities, and may trade securities actively. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its normal bottom-up stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.
Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to evaluate a security for purchase or sale by the Fund. As part of this analysis, Wellington Management evaluates a company across several dimensions, including an understanding of the sustainability and magnitude of growth, quality, valuation, and assessment of management quality. Wellington Management also integrates into its fundamental analysis the evaluation of financially material environmental, social, and/or governance (“ESG”) characteristics based on its proprietary ESG research. Wellington Management believes the integration of financially material ESG characteristics into its investment process allows it to assess strategic business issues that may impact the performance and growth prospects of a company. The factors that Wellington Management considers as part of its fundamental analysis, including the assessment of financially material ESG characteristics, contribute to its overall evaluation of a company’s risk and return potential.
The Fund defines small capitalization companies as companies with market capitalizations within the collective range of the Russell 2000 and S&P SmallCap 600 Indices. As of December 31, 2021, this range was approximately $31.6 million to $13.96 billion. The market capitalization range of these indices changes over time.
PRINCIPAL RISKS. 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.
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.
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.
Small Cap Securities Risk –  Investments in small 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.
Active Investment Management 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. As part of the Fund’s investment strategy, the sub-adviser evaluates certain factors as part of the investment process, including ESG characteristics. The analysis of these factors may not work as intended. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and as a result, the companies (or issuers) in which the Fund invests may not be companies (or issuers) with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.
Growth Investing Style Risk –  If the sub-adviser incorrectly assesses a company’s prospects for growth or how other investors will value the company’s growth, then the price of the company’s stock may decrease, or may not increase to the level anticipated by the sub-adviser. In addition, growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they
58

are more sensitive to investors’ perceptions of the issuing company’s growth potential. Also, the growth investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the investing style used by the Fund 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, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), 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. The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
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.
Volatility Risk –  The Fund’s investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant changes in value over short periods of time.
Sector Risk –  To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.
Securities Lending Risk –  The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
Active Trading Risk –  Active trading could increase the Fund’s transaction costs and may increase your tax liability as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects may adversely affect Fund performance.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –  The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks” and “More Information About Risks” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Capital Appreciation Fund
Wellington Management chooses certain equity securities in which the Fund invests using what is sometimes referred to as a “bottom up” approach. Companies are selected primarily on the basis of dynamic earnings growth potential and/or the expectation of a significant event that Wellington Management believes will trigger an increase in the stock price. In analyzing a prospective investment, Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis and looks at a number of factors, such as business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues, dividends and other related measures of valuation and growth potential. When evaluating investments for the Fund, Wellington Management has access to proprietary environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) research to help evaluate a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management believes financially material ESG characteristics can impact the performance of the companies in which it invests. Wellington Management has discretion to determine the level at which financially material ESG characteristics are imbedded into its overall analysis. Wellington Management also engages with management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.
Wellington Management also may allocate a portion of the Fund’s assets in securities that Wellington Management believes may complement the risk factor biases of the other sleeves (“Risk Managed Sleeve”). In selecting securities for the Risk Managed Sleeve, Wellington Management uses systematic screening methodologies to select equity securities based on their characteristics, which may include but are not limited to their volatility, quality, value, growth, and momentum risk factor characteristics.
In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may also invest in private placements and may use derivatives for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain issuers or market sectors, and/or to equitize cash. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions including, but not limited to, forward currency contracts, futures, options and similar derivatives instruments or combinations thereof. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), restricted securities, and securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities, including companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets.
CORE EQUITY Fund
As part of the fundamental research discussed in the summary section, Wellington Management also evaluates the following regarding a company: capital allocation discipline, off-financial statement factors, management track record, and analysis of products and competition. Wellington Management also considers secular (longer term) and cyclical growth prospects. When evaluating investments for the Fund, Wellington Management has access to proprietary environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) research to help evaluate a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management believes financially material ESG characteristics can impact the performance of the companies in which it invests. Wellington Management has discretion to determine the level at which financially material ESG characteristics are imbedded into its overall analysis. Wellington Management also engages with management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.

As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalization of companies included in the S&P 500 Index ranged from approximately $3.98 billion to $2.91 trillion. The market capitalization range of the index changes over time.
In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities and may also use derivatives for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain issuers or market sectors, and/or to equitize cash. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions including, but not limited to, futures, options and similar derivative instruments or combinations thereof. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and restricted securities.
Dividend and Growth Fund
Wellington Management also favors securities that appear to be undervalued in the marketplace. With respect to the evaluation of ESG characteristics discussed in the summary section, Wellington Management’s dedicated ESG team applies a systematic ESG ratings methodology as a starting point for deeper research. Wellington Management believes that strong corporate governance is vital to ensuring that capital allocation decisions, including the payment of a dividend, are thoughtfully made and reflect alignment of management and shareholder interests. Wellington Management believes that financially material environmental and social issues, such as climate change or cybersecurity, can impact future cash flows. In collaboration with its dedicated ESG team, Wellington Management engages with management teams and boards of directors of certain companies to better understand strategic business issues and the willingness of a company to adapt. The dedicated ESG team also assists Wellington Management in its identification of global best practices, preparation for company engagement, and research related to voting proxies, as well as collaborates on new research paths. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.

The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and restricted securities.
Equity Income Fund
The Fund’s investment approach is based on the fundamental analysis of dividend-paying companies with market capitalizations generally above $2 billion that have below average estimated price-to-earnings ratios. Fundamental analysis of a company involves the assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of value. The Fund uses a contrarian approach focused on longer term economic fundamentals. The typical purchase candidate may be characterized as an overlooked or misunderstood company with sound fundamentals. Holdings are frequently in companies that the Fund’s sub-adviser believes are viable, growing businesses with solid financial strength in industries that are temporarily out of favor and under-researched by institutions. With respect to the evaluation of ESG characteristics discussed in the summary section, Wellington Management’s dedicated ESG team applies a systematic ESG ratings methodology as a starting point for deeper research by the portfolio management team. Wellington Management believes that strong corporate governance is important to ensuring that capital allocation decisions, including the payment of a dividend, are thoughtfully made and reflect alignment of management and shareholder interests. Wellington Management believes that financially material environmental and social issues, such as climate change or cybersecurity, can impact future cash flows, which directly affect dividend sustainability. In collaboration with its dedicated ESG team, Wellington Management engages with management teams and boards of directors of certain companies to better understand strategic business issues and the willingness of a company to adapt, including materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company in Wellington Management’s view. The portfolio management team tracks these engagements for ongoing monitoring and evaluation. In addition, the dedicated ESG team also assists Wellington Management in its identification of global best practices, preparation for company engagement, and research related to voting proxies, as well as collaborates on new research paths. Portfolio construction is driven primarily by security selection. Limited consideration is given to economic analysis in establishing sector and industry weightings. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.

The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and restricted securities.
Growth Opportunities Fund
Fundamental analysis of a company involves the qualitative and quantitative assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of valuation and growth potential. When evaluating investments for the Fund, Wellington Management has access to proprietary environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) research to help evaluate a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management believes financially material ESG characteristics can impact the performance of the companies in which it invests. Wellington Management has discretion to determine the level at which financially material ESG characteristics are imbedded into its overall analysis.

Healthcare Fund
Wellington Management’s approach to investing in the health care sector is based on an in-depth understanding of medical science, regulatory developments, and reimbursement policy trends, but will be predominantly focused on stock specific investment opportunities. Wellington Management will also seek to exploit favorable trends within the health care sector including demographics, as well as investment opportunities that are benefiting from the accelerating pace of biopharmaceutical innovation and the ongoing structural changes in health care delivery systems globally.
Fundamental analysis of a company involves the assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of valuation and growth potential. Wellington Management seeks companies with attractive entry valuations, defined as those stocks where the price is not already fully exploited by other investors. When evaluating investments for the Fund, Wellington Management has access to proprietary environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) research to help evaluate a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management believes financially material ESG characteristics can impact the performance of the companies in which it invests. Wellington Management has discretion to determine the level at which financially material ESG characteristics are imbedded into its overall analysis. Wellington Management also engages with management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.
Wellington Management may favor certain subsectors at times based upon the relative attractiveness of stocks within these subsectors, near term macroeconomic factors and the availability of such stocks at attractive prices.
Stocks considered for purchase by the Fund typically share one or more of the following attributes:
the company’s business franchise is temporarily mispriced,
the market under-values the new product pipelines,
the company has opportunities due to changes in reimbursement policies (for example, the privatization of health care services abroad), or
the company is a target of opportunity due to industry consolidation.
64

Stocks will be considered for sale from the Fund when:
target prices are achieved,
fundamental expectations are not met,
a company’s prospects become less appealing, or
equity securities of other comparable issuers in an industry are available at more attractive prices.
In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund also may use derivatives for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain issuers or market sectors, and/or to equitize cash. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, and restricted securities. The Fund will be close to fully invested; cash balances normally will not exceed 10% of net assets.
MidCap Fund
Wellington Management uses a “bottom-up” investment strategy, which is the use of fundamental analysis to identify specific securities for purchase or sale. Wellington Management’s investment process evaluates companies based on the factors that it deems most relevant to future stock performance, which include: a company’s fundamentals, a company’s valuation, future expectations regarding a company, and financially material ESG characteristics. Wellington Management leverages the analysis and research of its dedicated ESG team, who provide industry specific research, and Wellington Management evaluates these ESG characteristics both prior to purchase as well as part of ongoing monitoring. The dedicated ESG team also assists Wellington Management in its identification of global best practices, preparation for company engagement, and research related to voting proxies, as well as collaborates on new research paths. With respect to the evaluation of ESG characteristics, Wellington Management believes material ESG issues are important to long-term value creation, as well as indicators of potential risk. Wellington Management believes that material social issues such as employee engagement, talent attraction/retention and customer satisfaction can impact future business performance. Wellington Management believes that a company’s corporate governance, including incentive structures and corporate strategy, can influence the company’s return potential. Wellington Management also engages with management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.
In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities and may also use derivatives for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain issuers or market sectors, and/or to equitize cash. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and restricted securities.
MidCap Value Fund
The Fund’s investment strategy employs a contrarian approach to stock selection. The approach uses extensive research to seek to identify stocks of companies whose fundamentals are not adequately reflected in the market price of their securities. Valuation techniques are a key component of the Fund’s investment approach. A stock’s value is evaluated on three primary criteria: its issuer’s earnings power, growth potential and price-to-earnings ratio. Stocks are selected whose issuers, in Wellington Management’s opinion, have the most compelling blend of the following attributes: attractive valuation, a strong management team, and strong industry position. When evaluating investments for the Fund, Wellington Management has access to proprietary environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) research to help evaluate a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management believes financially material ESG characteristics can impact the performance of the companies in which it invests. Wellington Management has discretion to determine the level at which financially material ESG characteristics are imbedded into its overall analysis. Wellington Management also engages with management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company.

The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions including, but not limited to, forward currency contracts and similar derivative instruments or combinations thereof. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and restricted securities.
Small Cap Growth Fund
Wellington Management employs what is often called a “bottom-up” approach to select specific securities from a variety of industries. However, in constructing the portfolio, Wellington Management also analyzes and monitors different sources of active risk including stock-specific risk, industry risk and style risk. Fundamental analysis of a company involves the assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of valuation and growth potential. When evaluating investments for the Fund, Wellington Management has access to proprietary environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) research to help evaluate a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management believes financially material ESG characteristics can impact the performance of the companies in which it invests. Wellington Management has discretion to determine the level at which financially material ESG characteristics are imbedded into its overall analysis. Wellington Management also engages with management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.
In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities and may also use derivatives for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain issuers or market sectors, and/or to equitize cash. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and restricted securities.
Small Cap Value Fund
Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to identify companies that it believes are undervalued due to a misunderstood change or perceived bias in the market place. As part of its investment process, Wellington Management focuses on companies that it believes are high quality and demonstrate a commitment to capital returns. The investment process is aided by a proprietary systematic screening process. As it relates to the screening process, it starts with a focus on eliminating stocks with minimal liquidity as well as those that are pre-revenue, have no earnings, or have negative Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA). From there, the screen ranks the universe on the best combination of valuation, quality, and capital returns, and Wellington Management focuses its efforts on the top half of the highest ranking stocks. Once this screening process is complete, the focus shifts to bottom-up fundamental analysis, seeking to identify potential biases or market or company-specific changes, review data, and filter out potential value traps. When evaluating investments for the Fund, Wellington Management has access to proprietary environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) research to help evaluate a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management believes financially material ESG characteristics can impact the performance of the companies in which it invests. Wellington Management has discretion to determine the level at which financially material ESG characteristics are imbedded into its overall analysis. Wellington Management also engages with
66

management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.
In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain issuers or market sectors, and/or to equitize cash. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions including, but not limited to, futures, options and similar derivative instruments or combinations thereof. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), exchange traded notes, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and restricted securities. The Fund may also opportunistically invest in companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets.
Small Company Fund
Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to identify specific securities for purchase or sale. Wellington Management primarily invests in growth oriented stocks, but may invest in value oriented stocks as opportunities arise. As discussed in the summary section, Wellington Management looks at a number of factors as part of its fundamental analysis, such as the sustainability and magnitude of a company’s revenue and earnings growth rate, quality, valuation, market position, market trends, assessment of management quality, and other related measures of valuation and growth potential, including the evaluation of financially material ESG characteristics, which are based on proprietary research and quantitative and fundamental ESG scores, where available. When evaluating earlier stage emerging growth companies, Wellington Management believes that ESG characteristics can help form a better understanding around management quality and alignment in executing on the growth vision. In the case of companies seeking to re-accelerate growth after a period of decline, Wellington Management believes ESG characteristics can help assess, for example, if the culture is impaired (impacting talent retention/attraction) or if the company is vulnerable to environmental or other risks that could potentially de-rail a return to growth, such as exposure to underappreciated credit risk or energy needs that could pressure growth. Wellington Management also engages with management of certain companies regarding corporate governance practices as well as what it deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts (GIAs), who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.
In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may also invest in restricted securities, including private placements, and may use derivatives for hedging purposes, to gain exposure to certain issuers or market sectors, and/or to equitize cash. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include exchange and over-the-counter traded transactions including, but not limited to, forward currency contracts and similar derivative instruments or combinations thereof. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange traded funds (ETFs)), real estate investment trusts (REITs), and exchange traded notes.
Foreign and Emerging Market Investments
Fund Assets Sub-Advised by Wellington Management
Unless stated otherwise in a Fund’s principal investment strategy, investments are deemed to be “foreign” (a) if an issuer’s domicile or location of headquarters is in a foreign country or (b) it is a foreign currency. Unless stated otherwise in a Fund’s principal investment strategy, emerging markets are those markets (1) included in emerging market or equivalent classifications by the United Nations (and its agencies); (2) having per capita income in the low to middle ranges, as determined by the World Bank; or (3) the Fund’s benchmark index provider designates as emerging. Unless stated otherwise in a Fund’s principal investment strategy, investments are deemed to be “emerging” (a) if an issuer’s domicile or location of headquarters is in an emerging market; or (b) it is an emerging market currency.
Use of Cash or Money Market Investments
Each Fund may participate in a cash sweep program whereby a Fund’s uninvested cash balance is used to purchase shares of affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds or cash management pooled investment vehicles at the end of each day. To the extent a Fund invests its uninvested cash through a sweep program, it is subject to the risks of the account or fund into which it is investing, including liquidity issues that may delay the Fund from accessing its cash.
Each Fund may also invest some or all of its assets in cash, high quality money market instruments (including, but not limited to U.S. government securities, bank obligations, commercial paper and repurchase agreements involving the foregoing securities) and shares of money market funds for temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions. In addition, each Fund may invest some of its assets in these instruments to
67

maintain liquidity, for cash management purposes, or in response to atypical circumstances such as unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. Under such conditions, a Fund may not invest in accordance with its investment objective or principal investment strategy. As a result, there is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective and it may lose the benefit of market upswings.
Participation in Securities Lending Activities
Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one third (33 13%) of the value of its total assets.
Consequences of Portfolio Trading Practices
A Fund may have a relatively high portfolio turnover and may, at times, engage in short-term trading. Such activity could produce higher brokerage expenses for the Fund and higher taxable distributions to the Fund’s shareholders and therefore could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Each Fund is not managed to achieve a particular tax result for shareholders. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisor for individual tax advice.
Operational Risks Associated with Cybersecurity
A Fund and its service providers’ use of internet, technology and information systems may expose the Fund to potential risks linked to cybersecurity breaches of those technological or information systems. Cybersecurity breaches, amongst other things, could allow an unauthorized party to gain access to proprietary information, customer data, or fund assets, or cause a Fund and/or its service providers to suffer data corruption or lose operational functionality. For instance, cybersecurity breaches may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, impact a Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential business information, impede trading, subject the Fund to regulator fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage.
About EACH Fund’s Investment Objective
Each Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Fund’s Board without approval of the shareholders of the Fund. Each Fund’s prospectus will be updated prior to any change in the Fund’s investment objective.
Investment Policies
Each of Core Equity Fund, Equity Income Fund, Healthcare Fund, MidCap Fund, MidCap Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Small Company Fund has a name that suggests a focus on a particular type of investment. In accordance with Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each of these Funds has adopted a policy that it will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its assets, which means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments of the type suggested by its name, as set forth in the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategy section (“80% Policy”). This requirement is applied at the time a Fund invests its assets. If, subsequent to an investment by a Fund, this requirement is no longer met, the Fund’s future investments will be made in a manner that will bring the Fund into compliance with this requirement. In addition, in appropriate circumstances, synthetic investments may count toward the 80% minimum if they have economic characteristics similar to the other investments included in the basket. In addition, a Fund may specify a market capitalization range for acquiring portfolio securities. If a security that is within the range at the time of purchase later falls outside the range, which may happen due to market fluctuation, the Fund may continue to hold the security. However, this change in market capitalization could affect the Fund’s flexibility in making additional investments in securities of the applicable issuer. A Fund’s 80% Policy is not a “fundamental” one, which means that it may be changed without the vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares as defined in the 1940 Act. The name of a Fund may be changed at any time by a vote of the Fund’s Board of Directors. Shareholders will be given written notice at least 60 days prior to any change by a Fund of its 80% Policy covered by Rule 35d-1.
Additional Investment Strategies and Risks
Each Fund may invest in various securities and engage in various investment techniques that are not the principal focus of the Fund and, therefore, are not described in this prospectus. These securities and techniques, together with their risks, are discussed in the Funds’ Combined Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), which may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Funds (see back cover for address, phone number and website address).

More Information About Risks
The principal and certain additional risks of investing in each 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. Many factors affect each Fund’s performance. An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. There is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective, and you should not consider any one fund alone to be a complete investment program. The different types of securities, investments, and investment techniques used by each Fund have varying degrees of risk. The SAI contains more detailed information about the Funds’ investment policies and risks.

ACTIVE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT RISK –  The risk that, if the investment decisions and strategy of the portfolio manager(s) do not perform as expected, a Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. A Fund’s performance depends on the judgment of the portfolio manager(s) about a variety of factors, such as markets, interest rates and/or the attractiveness, relative value, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The portfolio manager(s)’ investment models may not adequately take into account certain factors, may perform differently than anticipated and may result in a Fund having a lower return than if the portfolio managers used another model or investment strategy. In addition, to the extent a Fund allocates a portion of its assets to specialist portfolio managers, the styles employed by the different portfolio managers may not be complementary, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
ACTIVE TRADING RISK –  Active trading could increase a Fund’s transaction costs and may increase your tax liability as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects may also adversely affect Fund performance.
70

ASSET ALLOCATION RISK –  Asset allocation risk is the risk that, if a 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 investment objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies. Certain Funds employ a multiple portfolio manager structure and combine different strategies into a single fund. The investment styles employed by the portfolio managers of these Funds may not be complementary, which could adversely affect the performance of such Funds.
COUNTERPARTY RISK –  With respect to certain transactions, such as over-the-counter derivatives contracts or repurchase agreements, a Fund will be exposed to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty, a Fund could experience delays in liquidating its positions and significant losses, including declines in the value of its investment during the period in which the Fund seeks to enforce its rights, the inability to realize any gains on its investment during such period and any fees and expenses incurred in enforcing its rights. A Fund also bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a derivative transaction in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a counterparty. Over-the-counter derivatives may not offer a Fund the same level of protection as exchange traded derivatives.
CURRENCY RISK –  The risk that the value of a 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 a 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. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets. The dollar value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange controls. A Fund may be positively or negatively affected by governmental strategies intended to make the U.S. dollar, or other currencies in which the Fund invests, stronger or weaker. Currency risk may be particularly high to the extent that a Fund invests in foreign securities or currencies that are economically tied to emerging market countries.
DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS RISK –  A Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the form of depositary receipts or other securities that are convertible into securities of foreign issuers. American Depositary Receipts are receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company that evidence underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. European Depositary Receipts (issued in Europe) and Global Depositary Receipts (issued throughout the world) each evidence a similar ownership arrangement. A Fund may invest in Depositary Receipts that are not sponsored by a financial institution (“Unsponsored Depositary Receipts”). Depositary Receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. The issuers of unsponsored Depositary Receipts are not obligated to disclose information that is, in the United States, considered material. Therefore, there may be less information available regarding their issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the Depositary Receipts. Certain Funds may also invest in Global Depositary Notes (“GDNs”), a form of depositary receipt. GDNs emulate the terms (interest rate, maturity date, credit quality, etc.) of particular local bonds; however, they trade, settle, and pay interest and principal in U.S. Dollars. Any distributions paid to the holders of GDNs are usually subject to a fee charged by the depositary and holders of GDNs may have limited rights. Certain investment restrictions in certain countries may adversely impact the value of GDNs because such restrictions may limit the ability to convert bonds into GDNs and vice versa. A Fund may invest in, Chinese Depositary Receipts (“CDRs”) or other similar securities representing ownership of foreign listed securities. Generally, CDRs, in registered from, are designed for use in the Chinese securities markets. CDRs may involve certain risks not applicable to investing in U.S. issuers, including changes in currency rates, application of local tax laws, changes in governmental administration or economic or monetary policy or changed circumstances in dealings between nations.
DERIVATIVES RISK –  A Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes and/or for hedging purposes, including anticipatory hedges. Derivatives are instruments whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Successful use of derivative instruments by a Fund depends on the sub-adviser’s judgment with respect to a number of factors and a Fund’s performance could be worse and/or more volatile than if it had not used these instruments. Derivatives may involve significant risks, including:
Counterparty/Credit Risk - The risk that the party on the other side of the transaction will be unable to honor its financial obligation to a Fund.
Currency Risk - The risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.
71

Leverage Risk - The risk associated with certain types of investments or trading strategies that relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment. Certain investments or trading strategies that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.
Liquidity Risk - The risk that certain investments may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the seller would like or at the price that the seller believes the security is currently worth, which could expose a Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for a Fund to value accurately.
Index Risk - If the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. If the index changes, a Fund could receive lower interest payments or experience a reduction in the value of the derivative to below what the Fund paid. Certain indexed securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a multiple of the changes in the applicable index. For this reason, a Fund’s investment in these instruments may decline significantly in value if index levels move in a way that is not anticipated.
Regulatory Risk - Government legislation or regulation may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the use, value or performance of derivatives. In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations applicable to a Fund’s use of derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements, and certain other instruments that will, among other things, require a Fund to adopt a derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager that will manage the program and communicate to the board of directors of the Fund. However, subject to certain conditions, funds that do not invest heavily in derivatives may be deemed limited derivatives users and would not be subject to the full requirements of the new rule. The SEC also eliminated the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments, as discussed herein, effective at the time that the Fund complies with the new rule. The new rule could impact the effectiveness or raise the costs of a Fund’s derivatives transactions, impede the employment of the Fund’s derivatives strategies, or adversely affect Fund performance and cause the Fund to lose value. Compliance with the new rule will be required in August 2022.
Tax Risk - The tax treatment of a derivative may not be as favorable as a direct investment in the underlying asset. The use of derivatives may adversely affect the timing, character and amount of income a Fund realizes from its investments, and could impair the ability of the sub-adviser to use derivatives when it wishes to do so.
Short Position Risk - A Fund may also take a short position in a derivative investment, such as a future, forward or swap. A short position in a derivative instrument involves the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument which could cause a Fund to suffer a (potentially unlimited) loss.
If a Fund’s derivative investments represent a significant portion of its portfolio, the Fund’s exposure could far exceed the value of its portfolio securities and its investment performance could be primarily dependent upon securities it does not own.
FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS RISK –  A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. A Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s investments or as part of its investment strategy. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of foreign securities but allow a Fund to establish a fixed rate of exchange for a future point in time. Forward currency contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, which could result in losses on those contracts and additional transaction costs. Use of such contracts, therefore, can have the effect of reducing returns and minimizing opportunities for gain. A Fund could also lose money when the contract is settled. A Fund’s gains from its positions in forward foreign currency contracts may accelerate and/or recharacterize the Fund’s income or gains and its distributions to shareholders as ordinary income. A Fund’s losses from such positions may also recharacterize the Fund’s income and its distributions to shareholders and may cause a return of capital to Fund shareholders. Such acceleration or recharacterization could affect an investor’s tax liability.
FUTURES AND OPTIONS RISK –  An option is an agreement that, for a premium payment or fee, gives the purchaser the right but not the obligation to buy or sell the underlying asset at a specified price during a period of time or on a specified date, or receive a cash settlement payment. A future is a contract that obligates the purchaser to take delivery, and the seller to make delivery, of a specific amount of an asset at a specified future date at a specified price, or make a cash settlement payment. Futures and options are subject to the risk that the sub-adviser may incorrectly predict the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors that may affect the value of the underlying asset. Futures and options may be more volatile than direct investments in the securities underlying the futures and options and may not correlate perfectly to the underlying securities. Futures and options also involve additional expenses as compared to investing directly in the underlying securities, which could reduce any
72

benefit or increase any loss to a Fund from using the strategy. Futures and options may also involve the use of leverage as a Fund may make a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses greater than if futures or options had not been used. Futures and options transactions may be effected on securities exchanges or, in the case of certain options, in the over-the-counter market. When options are purchased over-the-counter, a Fund bears the risk that the counter-party that wrote the option will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the contract. Futures and options may also be illiquid, and in such cases, a Fund may have difficulty closing out its position or valuing the contract. Options on foreign currencies are affected by the factors that influence foreign exchange rates and investments generally. A Fund’s ability to establish and close out positions on foreign currency options is subject to the maintenance of a liquid secondary market, and there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for a particular option at any specific time.
HEDGING RISK –  Hedging is a strategy in which a Fund uses a derivative to offset the risks associated with other Fund holdings. While hedging can reduce losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains or cause losses if the market moves in a manner different from that anticipated by a Fund or if the cost of the derivative outweighs the benefit of the hedge. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by a Fund, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be either available or cost effective. A Fund is not required to use hedging and may choose not to do so.
DIVIDEND RISK –  Income provided by a Fund may be affected by changes in the dividend policies of the companies in which the Fund invests and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. Issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so at the same level or at all in the future. In addition, securities that pay dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing a Fund during such periods to underperform funds that do not focus on dividend-paying companies. A Fund’s focus on dividend paying investments may cause the Fund’s share price and total return to fluctuate more than the share price and total return of funds that do not focus their investments on dividend paying securities.
EQUITY RISK –  Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in a company. Equity securities include but are not limited to common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common or preferred stock and warrants or rights to acquire common stock, including options. The value of an equity security may be based on the real or perceived success or failure of the particular company’s business, any income paid to stockholders in the form of a dividend, the value of the company’s assets, general market conditions, or investor sentiment generally. Equity securities may have greater price volatility than other types of investments. These risks are generally magnified in the case of equity investments in distressed companies.
Initial Public Offering Risk–  IPOs are initial public offerings of equity securities. Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may only be available for very limited periods. Some of the companies involved in new industries may be regarded as developmental stage companies, without revenues or operating income, or the near-term prospects of them. Many IPOs are by small- or micro-cap companies that are undercapitalized. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile or may decline shortly after the IPO is complete. Although investments in IPOs have the potential to produce substantial gains in a short period of time, there is no assurance that a Fund will have access to profitable IPOs, that any particular IPO will be successful, or that any gains will be sustainable. Investors should not rely on past gains attributable to IPOs as an indication of future performance.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies Risk–  A Fund may invest in special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) or similar special purpose entities. SPACs are collective investment structures that pool funds in order to seek potential acquisition opportunities. SPACs and similar entities may be blank check companies with no operating history or ongoing business other than to seek a potential acquisition. Because SPACs and similar entities have no operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Some SPACs may pursue acquisitions only within certain industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their securities’ prices. In addition, these securities, which are typically traded in the OTC market, may be considered illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale.
LARGE CAP SECURITIES RISK –  The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
73

MID CAP SECURITIES RISK –  Mid capitalization stocks involve greater risks than stocks of larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable a Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. These companies often have narrower markets, more limited operating or business history, and more limited managerial or financial resources than larger, more established companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.
SMALL CAP SECURITIES RISK –  Small capitalization stocks may be more risky than stocks of larger capitalization companies. Historically, small capitalization stocks and stocks of recently organized companies are subject to increased price volatility due to: less certain growth prospects; lower degree of liquidity in the markets for such stocks; thin trading that could result in the stocks being sold at a discount or in small lots over an extended period of time; limited product lines, markets or financial resources; dependence on a few key management personnel; increased sensitivity to changes in interest rates, borrowing costs and earnings; difficulty in obtaining information on smaller capitalization companies as compared with larger capitalization companies; greater sensitivity to changing economic conditions and increased risk of bankruptcy due to adverse developments or management changes affecting the company; and greater difficulty borrowing money to continue or expand operations.
When a Fund invests in smaller company stocks that might trade infrequently, investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of those securities (this is sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”). If such price arbitrage were successful, it might interfere with the efficient management of a Fund’s portfolio and the Fund may be required to sell securities at disadvantageous times or prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements created by that activity. Successful price arbitrage might also dilute the value of Fund shares held by other shareholders.
ESG INTEGRATION AND ESG CONSIDERATION RISK –  The ESG characteristics that may be evaluated as part of a Fund’s investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers that are eligible for investment. The relevance and weightings of specific ESG characteristics to the investment process varies across asset classes, sectors and strategies. ESG characteristics are not the only factors that may be considered by the portfolio manager(s) and as a result, the companies (or issuers) in which a Fund invests may not be companies (or issuers) with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings. ESG characteristics may be evaluated differently by different portfolio manager(s) and may not carry the same meaning to all investors and portfolio manager(s). While the portfolio manager(s) believe that the integration or consideration of material ESG characteristics into a Fund’s investment process has the potential to identify financial risks and contribute to a Fund’s long-term performance, there is no guarantee that the integration or consideration of ESG characteristics will result in better performance. Investors can differ in their views of what constitutes positive or negative ESG characteristics. Further, the regulatory landscape with respect to ESG investing in the United States is still developing and future rules and regulations may require a Fund to modify or alter its investment process with respect to ESG integration or consideration.
EXCHANGE TRADED NOTES RISK –  Exchange traded notes (“ETNs”) are a type of unsecured, unsubordinated debt security that have characteristics and risks, including credit risk, similar to those of fixed-income securities and trade on a major exchange similar to shares of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Unlike other types of fixed income securities, however, the performance of ETNs is based upon that of a market index or other reference asset minus fees and expenses, no coupon payments are made and no principal protection exists. The value of an ETN may be affected by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying commodities or securities markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating and economic, legal, political or geographic events that affect the referenced commodity or security. A Fund’s ability to sell its ETN holdings also may be limited by the availability of a secondary market and the Fund may have to sell such holdings at a discount. ETNs also are subject to counterparty credit risk, fixed-income risk and tracking error risk (where the ETN’s performance may not match or correlate to that of its market index). ETNs also incur certain expenses not incurred by their applicable index.
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS RISK –  Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than investments in U.S. securities and may also be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign investments may be affected by the following:
changes in currency exchange rates
changes in foreign or U.S. law or restrictions applicable to such investments and in exchange control regulations
increased volatility
74

substantially less volume on foreign stock markets and other securities markets
higher commissions and dealer mark-ups
inefficiencies in certain foreign clearance and settlement procedures that could result in an inability to execute transactions or delays in settlement
less uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards
less publicly available information about a foreign issuer or borrower
less government regulation and oversight
unfavorable foreign tax laws
political, social, economic or diplomatic developments in a foreign country or region or the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions)
differences in individual foreign economies
geopolitical events (including pandemics and epidemics) that may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets
Governments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets, which may impair investment and economic growth. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.
The impact of the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union (“EU”), commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the EU has and may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. These consequences include greater market volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, deterioration in economic activity, a decrease in business confidence and an increased likelihood of a recession in such markets. Uncertainty relating to the United Kingdom’s post-departure framework and relationships may have adverse effects on asset valuations and the renegotiation of trade agreements, as well as an increase in financial regulation in such markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.
EMERGING MARKETS RISK –  The risks of foreign investments are usually greater for emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. They are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets. Since these markets are often small, they may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long-term price depression because of adverse publicity, investor perceptions or the actions of a few large investors. In addition, traditional measures of investment value used in the United States, such as price to earnings ratios, may not apply to certain small markets. Also, there may be less publicly available information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets, and such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Many emerging markets have histories of political instability and abrupt changes in policies. As a result, their governments are more likely to take actions that are hostile or detrimental to private enterprise or foreign investment than those of more developed countries, including expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, high rates of inflation or unfavorable diplomatic developments. In such an event, it is possible that a Fund could lose the entire value of its investments in the affected market. Some countries have pervasive corruption and crime that may hinder investments. Certain emerging markets may also face other significant internal or external risks, including the risk of war, and ethnic, religious and racial conflicts. In addition, governments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets, which may impair investment and economic growth. Emerging markets may also have differing legal systems and the existence or possible imposition of exchange controls, custodial restrictions or other foreign or U.S. governmental laws or restrictions applicable to such investments. Settlements of trades in emerging markets may be subject to significant delays. The inability to make intended purchases of securities due to settlement problems could cause missed investment opportunities. Losses could also be caused by an inability to dispose of portfolio securities due to settlement problems. Sometimes, emerging markets may lack or be in the relatively early development of legal structures governing private and foreign investments and private property, and the ability of U.S. authorities (e.g., SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice) and investors (e.g., the Funds) to bring actions against bad actors may be limited. As a result of these legal structures and limitations, a Fund faces the risk of being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its investments in emerging markets, which may cause losses to the Fund. In addition to withholding taxes on investment income, some countries with emerging markets may impose differential capital gains taxes on foreign investors.
75

In addition, as much of China’s growth over recent decades has been a result of significant investment in substantial export trade, international trade tensions may arise from time to time which can result in trade tariffs, embargoes, trade limitations, trade wars and other negative consequences. These consequences may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, the oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price reductions of goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry with a potentially severe negative impact to a Fund. In addition, it is possible that the continuation or worsening of the current political climate could result in regulatory restrictions being contemplated or imposed in the U.S. or in China that could have a material adverse effect on a Fund’s ability to invest in accordance with its investment policies and/or achieve its investment objective.
The risks outlined above are often more pronounced in “frontier markets” in which a Fund may invest. Frontier markets are those emerging markets that are considered to be among the smallest, least mature and least liquid. These factors make investing in frontier market countries significantly riskier than investing in other countries.
GROWTH INVESTING STYLE RISK –  Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If the portfolio manager incorrectly assesses a company’s prospects for growth or how other investors will value the company’s growth, then the price of the company’s stock may decrease, or may not increase to the level anticipated by the portfolio manager. Growth companies are often newer or smaller companies, or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investors’ perceptions of the issuing company’s growth potential. Also, the growth investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the growth investing style is out of favor, a Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
HEALTHCARE CONCENTRATION RISK –  The performance of a fund that focuses on a single industry or sector of the economy depends in large part on the performance of that industry or sector. As a result, such fund may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse developments than a fund that invests more widely. Many healthcare-related companies are smaller and less seasoned than companies in other sectors. Healthcare-related companies may also be strongly affected by scientific or technological developments, and their products may quickly become obsolete. The profitability of healthcare-related companies may be affected by extensive government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising or falling costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, a limited number of products, industry innovation, changes in technologies and other market developments. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection and the actual or perceived safety and efficiency of their products. The expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Patents have a limited duration, and, upon expiration, other companies may market substantially similar “generic” products that are typically sold at a lower price than the patented product, which can cause the original developer of the product to lose market share and/or reduce the price charged for the product, resulting in lower profits for the original developer. As a result, the expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Many healthcare companies are subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. Further, many healthcare-related companies offer products and services that are subject to governmental regulation and may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies or laws. Changes in governmental policies or laws may span a wide range of topics, including cost control, national health insurance, incentives for compensation in the provision of healthcare services, tax incentives and penalties related to healthcare insurance premiums, and promotion of prepaid healthcare plans. In addition, a number of legislative proposals concerning healthcare have been considered by the U.S. Congress in recent years. It is unclear what proposals will ultimately be enacted, if any, and what effect they may have on companies in the healthcare sector. Many new products in the healthcare sector may be subject to regulatory approvals. The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly, which can result in increased development costs, delayed cost recovery and loss of competitive advantage to the extent that rival companies have developed competing products or procedures, adversely affecting the company’s revenues and profitability. In other words, delays in the regulatory approval process may diminish the opportunity for a company to profit from a new product or to bring a new product to market, which could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business.
Healthcare companies are subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, in fact, may result in price discounting. Additionally, the expansion of facilities by healthcare-related providers may be subject to “determinations of need” by certain government authorities. This process not only generally increases the time and costs involved in these expansions, but also makes expansion plans uncertain, limiting the revenue and profitability growth potential of healthcare-related facilities operators and negatively affecting the prices of their securities.
76

ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS RISK –  An illiquid investment means an investment that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven calendar days without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, as determined under the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. In addition, securities and other investments purchased by a Fund that are liquid at the time of purchase may subsequently become illiquid due to events relating to the issuer of the securities, market events, rising interest rates, economic conditions or investor perceptions. If a Fund holds illiquid investments, it may be unable to quickly sell them or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. If one or more of a Fund’s investments becomes illiquid, the Fund may exceed its limit on such investments. In this case, the Fund will consider appropriate steps to bring the Fund’s holdings back under the limit.
LARGE SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION RISK –  A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Additionally, redemptions by a large shareholder also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any) and may limit or prevent a Fund’s use of tax equalization.
LIBOR RISK –  The use of certain London Interbank Offered Rates (collectively, “LIBOR”) was generally phased out by the end of 2021, and some regulated entities (such as banks) have ceased to enter into new LIBOR-based contracts beginning January 1, 2022. However, it is expected that the most widely used tenors of U.S. LIBOR may continue to be provided on a representative basis until mid-2023. There remains uncertainty regarding the future use of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or the LIBOR-based instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. The transition process away from LIBOR may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition process may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedges. Volatility, the potential reduction in value, and/or the hedge effectiveness of financial instruments may be heightened for financial instruments that do not include fallback provisions that address the cessation of LIBOR. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or on financial instruments in which the Fund invests, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to the Fund, and the use of an alternative reference rate may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark or reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to and/or subsequent to mid-2023.
MARKET RISK –  Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which a Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Securities or other investments may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or individual issuers. The value of a security or other investment may change in value due to general market conditions that are not related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally as well as global trade policies and political unrest or uncertainties. The value of a security or other investment may also change in value due to factors that affect an individual issuer, including data breaches and cybersecurity attacks, or a particular sector or industry. During a general downturn in the securities or other markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that securities or other investments held by a Fund will participate in or otherwise benefit from the advance. Any market disruptions, including those arising out of geopolitical events (including pandemics and epidemics) or natural/environmental disasters, could also prevent a Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner. The adverse impact of any one or more of these events on the market value of Fund investments could be significant and cause losses. A widespread health crisis, such as a global pandemic, could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions or restrictions and closures of securities exchanges and businesses, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and adversely impact Fund performance. A recent outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, has negatively affected the worldwide economy, created supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and impacted the financial health of individual companies and the market in significant and unforeseen ways. The future impact of COVID-19 is currently unknown. The effects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from COVID-19 pandemic may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, including exacerbating other pre-existing political, social and economic risks.

OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES RISK –  Investments in securities of other investment companies, including ETFs, are generally subject to limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act and its rules, and applicable SEC staff interpretations or applicable exemptive relief granted by the SEC. Such investments subject a Fund to the risks that apply to the other investment company, including market and selection risk, and may increase a Fund’s expenses to the extent the Fund pays fees, including investment advisory and administrative fees, charged by the other investment company. The success of a Fund’s investment in these securities is directly related, in part, to the ability of the other investment companies to meet their investment objective.
Investments in ETFs and listed closed-end funds are subject to the additional risk that shares of the ETF or closed-end fund may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value per share. There may also not be an active trading market available for shares of some ETFs or closed-end funds. Additionally, trading of ETF and closed-end fund shares may be halted and ETF and closed-end fund shares may be delisted by the listing exchange. In addition, a Fund pays brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETF and closed-end funds. ETFs and closed-end funds are also subject to specific risks depending on the nature of the ETF or closed-end fund, such as liquidity risk, sector risk, and foreign and emerging markets risk, as well as risks associated with fixed income securities, real estate investments and commodities. Closed-end funds may utilize more leverage than other types of investment companies. They can utilize leverage by issuing preferred stocks or debt securities to raise additional capital which can, in turn, be used to buy more securities and leverage its portfolio.
A business development company (“BDC”), which is a type of closed-end fund, typically invests in small and medium-sized companies. A BDC’s portfolio is subject to the risks inherent in investing in smaller companies, including that portfolio companies may be dependent on a small number of products or services and may be more adversely affected by poor economic or market conditions. Some BDCs invest substantially, or even exclusively, in one sector or industry group and therefore the BDC may be susceptible to adverse conditions and economic or regulatory occurrences affecting the sector or industry group, which tends to increase volatility and result in higher risk. The Small Business Credit Availability Act permits BDCs to adopt a lower asset coverage ratio, thereby enhancing their ability to use leverage. Investments in BDCs that use greater leverage may be subject to heightened risks.
A Fund will indirectly bear a pro rata share of fees and expenses incurred by any investment companies in which the Fund is invested. A Fund’s pro rata portion of the cumulative expenses charged by the investment companies is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets. The pro rata portion of the cumulative expenses may be higher or lower depending on the allocation of a Fund’s assets among the investment companies and the actual expenses of the investment companies. Business development company expenses are similar to the expenses paid by any operating company held by a Fund. They are not direct costs paid by Fund shareholders and are not used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value. They have no impact on the costs associated with Fund operations.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT RISK –  Investments in private placements are generally considered to be illiquid. Privately placed securities may be difficult to sell promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby cause a Fund difficulty in satisfying redemption requests. In addition, less information may be available about companies that make private placements than about publicly offered companies and such companies may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. Privately placed securities are typically fair valued and generally have no secondary trading market; therefore, such investments may be more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. Difficulty in valuing a private placement may make it difficult to accurately determine a Fund’s exposure to private placement investments, which could cause the Fund to invest to a greater extent than permitted in illiquid investments and subject the Fund to increased risks. Private placement investments may subject the Fund to contingent liabilities in the event a private issuer is acquired by another company during the period it is held by the Fund. Private placement investments may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. These factors may have a negative effect on a Fund’s performance.
QUANTITATIVE INVESTING RISK –  The value of securities or other investments selected using quantitative analysis may perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance for many reasons, including, but not limited to, factors used in building the quantitative analytical framework, the weights placed on each factor, the accuracy of historical data supplied by third parties, and changing sources of market returns. The models used may be predictive in nature and such models may result in an incorrect assessment of future events. There may also be technical issues with the construction and implementation of quantitative models (for example, software or other technology malfunctions, or programming inaccuracies). The use of quantitative analysis to support investment decisions may cause a Fund to underperform other funds that have similar investment strategies or that select securities or other investments using other types of analysis. In addition, considerations that affect a security’s or other investment’s value can change over time and these changes may not be reflected in the quantitative model. There can be no assurance that quantitative investing will help a Fund to achieve its investment objective.
78

REAL ESTATE RELATED SECURITIES RISK –  The main risk of real estate related securities is that the value of the underlying real estate may go down. Many factors may affect real estate values. These factors include both the general and local economies, vacancy rates, tenant bankruptcies, the ability to re-lease space under expiring leases on attractive terms, the amount of new construction in a particular area, the laws and regulations (including zoning and tax laws) affecting real estate and the costs of owning, maintaining and improving real estate. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates, a decline in rents resulting from unanticipated economic, legal or technological developments or a decline in the price of securities of real estate companies due to a failure of borrowers to pay their loans or poor management may also affect real estate values. The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. When economic growth is slow, demand for property decreases and prices may decline. If a Fund’s real estate related investments are concentrated in one geographic area or in one property type, the Fund will be particularly subject to the risks associated with that area or property type.
In addition to the risks facing real estate related securities, investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which pool investor money to invest in real estate and real estate related holdings, involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume and may be more volatile than other securities. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders or unitholders, and may be subject to defaults by borrowers and to self-liquidations. Many issuers of real estate related securities are highly leveraged, which increases the risk to holders of such securities. REITs are also subject to additional risks, such as poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to the tax laws, failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or failure to maintain exemption from registration under the 1940 Act. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property, which may make REITs more susceptible to adverse developments affecting a single project or market segment than more broadly diversified investments. Also, the organizational documents of a REIT may contain provisions that make changes in control of the REIT difficult and time-consuming. Because REITs are pooled investment vehicles that have expenses of their own, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of those expenses. REITs and other real estate related securities tend to be small- to mid-cap stocks that are subject to risks of investing in small- to mid-cap stocks.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES RISK –  Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. A Fund may be unable to sell them on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. Also, a Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material non-public information about the issuer, a Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Please see “Rule 144A Securities and Regulation S Securities Risk” below.
Rule 144A Securities and Regulation S Securities Risk–  “Rule 144A” securities are privately placed, restricted securities that may only be resold under certain circumstances to other qualified institutional buyers. Rule 144A investments are subject to certain additional risks compared to publicly traded securities. If there are not enough qualified buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A securities when a Fund wishes to sell such securities, the Fund may be unable to dispose of such securities promptly or at reasonable prices. For this reason, although Rule 144A securities are generally considered to be liquid, a Fund’s holdings in Rule 144A securities may adversely affect the Fund’s overall liquidity if qualified buyers become uninterested in buying them at a particular time. Issuers of Rule 144A securities are required to furnish information to potential investors upon request. However, the required disclosure is much less extensive than that required of public companies and is not publicly available. Further, issuers of Rule 144A securities can require recipients of the information (such as the Fund) to agree contractually to keep the information confidential, which could also adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of a security. Offerings of Regulation S securities may be conducted outside of the United States. Regulation S securities are generally less liquid than registered securities, as a result, a Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Although Regulation S securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the price realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by a Fund. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses.
79

SECTOR RISK –  To the extent a Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. The following summarizes the risks associated with investing in certain sectors:
Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk–  Companies in the consumer discretionary sector are subject to the risks associated with adverse changes in consumer sentiment and buying patterns, the effects of inflation, and disruptions in the supply chain that negatively impact the availability of products. Companies in this sector may also be adversely affected by supply and demand for certain products and services, price fluctuations, product obsolescence and product liability claims, governmental regulation, exchange rates, world events, general economic conditions and other factors. In addition, certain companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be cyclical and have occasional sharp price movements resulting from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs.
Communication Services Sector Risk–  Companies in the communication services sector may be greatly affected by technological advancements and market competition, including research and development costs, substantial capital requirements, pricing competition and government regulations. Certain communication services companies may also be susceptible to network security breaches and may be targets of hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in service. This sector may be impacted by fluctuating market demands, as well as shifting demographics and unpredictable changes in consumer preferences.
Health Care Sector Risk–  Companies in the health care sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. These companies may also be subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims.
Financial Sector Risk–  Companies in the financial services sector are subject to extensive governmental regulation and their profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Industrials Sector Risk–  The prices of securities in the industrials sector can be volatile and can be impacted significantly by supply and demand for certain products and services, product obsolescence and product liability claims, government regulation, exchange rates, world events, general economic conditions and other factors. In addition, certain companies in the industrials sector may be cyclical and have occasional sharp price movements resulting from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs.
Information Technology Sector Risk–  Companies in the information technology sector face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Companies in this sector may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Utilities Sector Risk–  The prices of securities in the utilities sector can be volatile and can be impacted significantly by supply and demand for services or fuel, financing costs, government regulation, conservation programs, commodity price fluctuations and other factors. Government regulation of utility companies may limit such companies’ profits or the dividends they can pay to investors. In addition, utility companies may face regulatory restrictions with respect to expansion to new markets, limiting their potential.
SECURITIES LENDING RISK –  Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the securities the Fund has loaned out fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. A Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund. Securities lending also involves exposure to certain additional risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process –  especially so in certain international markets), “gap” risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees a Fund has
80

agreed to pay a borrower), risk of loss of collateral, credit, legal, counterparty and market risk. Although a Fund’s securities lending agent has agreed to provide the Fund with indemnification in the event of a borrower default, the Fund is still exposed to the risk of losses in the event a borrower does not return the Fund’s securities as agreed and the agent fails to indemnify the Fund.
USE AS AN UNDERLYING FUND RISK –  A Fund may be an investment (an “Underlying Fund”) of one or more fund of funds. The term “fund of funds” refers to a fund that pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in other funds. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the following risks:
A Fund, as an Underlying Fund, may experience relatively large redemptions or investments as the fund of funds periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These transactions may cause the Fund to sell securities to meet such redemptions, or to invest in cash, at times it would not otherwise do so, and may as a result increase transaction costs and adversely affect Fund performance.
Such transactions could increase or decrease the frequency of capital gain recognition by a Fund and could affect the timing, amount and character of distributions you receive from a Fund.
VALUATION RISK –  This is the risk that a Fund has valued a security at a price different from the price at which it can be sold. This risk may be especially pronounced for investments that may be illiquid or may become illiquid and for securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. A Fund’s ability to value its investments in an accurate and timely manner may be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by third party service providers, such as pricing services or accounting agents. If market conditions make it difficult to value certain investments, a Fund may value these investments using more subjective methods, such as fair-value methodologies. Investors who purchase or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares, or lower or higher redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the securities or had used a different valuation methodology. The value of foreign securities, certain fixed income securities and currencies, as applicable, may be materially affected by events after the close of the markets on which they are traded, but before a Fund determines its NAV.
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. Value investing seeks to identify companies that are priced below their intrinsic or prospective worth. Overlooked or otherwise undervalued securities are subject to a significant risk that they may never attain their potential value or may even be overpriced. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the sub-adviser if it continues to be undervalued by the market or the factors that the sub-adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur. 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, a Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles. “Value” securities can be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
VOLATILITY RISK –  The value of a Fund’s investments may fluctuate over a relatively short period of time. These fluctuations may cause a Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant changes over similarly short periods of time.
81

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings
Each Fund will publicly disclose its complete month-end portfolio holdings, which may exclude certain de minimis or short-term investments, on its website at hartfordfunds.com no earlier than 25 calendar days after the end of each month.

“Manager of Managers” Structure
The Investment Manager and the Funds rely on an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under which the Funds operate pursuant to a “Manager of Managers” structure. The Investment Manager has responsibility, subject to oversight by the respective Board of Directors, to oversee the sub-adviser and recommend its hiring, termination and replacement. The Order permits the Investment Manager, on behalf of a Fund and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, to hire, and to materially amend any existing or future sub-advisory agreement with, sub-advisers that are not affiliated with the Investment Manager (the “Original Relief”), as well as sub-advisers that are indirect or direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Investment Manager or of another company that, indirectly or directly wholly owns the Investment Manager (the “Expanded Relief”), in each case without obtaining approval from the respective Fund’s shareholders. Shareholders of each of MidCap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund have approved the operation of the Fund under (i) both the Original Relief and the Expanded Relief set forth in the Order and/or (ii) any future law, regulation, guidance, or exemptive relief provided by the SEC. Shareholders of each of Capital Appreciation Fund, Core Equity Fund, Dividend and Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Healthcare Fund, MidCap Fund, Quality Value Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, and Small Company Fund have approved the operation of the Fund under the “Manager of Managers” structure under the Original Relief set forth in the Order.

Investor Requirements
This section describes investor requirements for each class of shares offered by the Funds. Each Fund may, in its sole discretion, modify or waive the eligibility requirements for purchases of any class of its shares.
Class A Shares. Class A shares are generally available for purchase by all investors other than retirement plans, except as described below. Purchases of Class A shares by certain retirement plans are permitted under the following circumstances:
If the plan is one of the following types of retirement plans and the plan was invested in or was offered as an investment option Class A shares at net asset value on or before June 30, 2007: (a) an employer-sponsored retirement plan with at least 100 participants or $500,000 in plan assets; (b) a retirement plan that buys Fund shares through a group variable funding agreement issued by Hartford Life Insurance Company; or (c) a retirement plan for which Hartford Life Insurance Company or an affiliate acts as plan administrator. These types of retirement plans may purchase Class A shares at net asset value without a sales charge; and
If the plan is an employer-sponsored retirement plan held directly at a broker-dealer (that is, outside of a retirement plan recordkeeping platform or third party administrator). Such retirement plans may purchase Class A shares, subject to all applicable sales charges as described in this prospectus.
Effective April 1, 2022, Class A shares will no longer be available for purchase by accounts for which no broker-dealer or other financial intermediary is specified, except under the following circumstances: (i) purchases by shareholders who have an existing account without a broker-dealer or financial intermediary as of the close of business on March 31, 2022 to add to their existing Fund account through subsequent purchases, through exchanges from other Hartford mutual funds, or through conversions of another share class in the Fund for Class A shares in the same Fund; (ii) purchases by shareholders in an Orphaned Account (as defined below); or (iii) purchases through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
Certain shareholder accounts are maintained with the transfer agent and list a broker-dealer of record (“Prior Broker-Dealer of Record”), and if, subsequently, such Prior Broker-Dealer of Record resigns from the account resulting in such account being held directly with the transfer agent without a new broker-dealer of record for such account, then such account would be referred to as an “Orphaned Account.”
Class C Shares. Class C shares are generally available for purchase by all investors other than retirement plans. The Funds do not accept direct purchases of Class C shares by accounts for which no broker-dealer or other financial intermediary is specified. Prior to April 1, 2022, any such direct purchase received by the Funds’ transfer agent for Class C shares for such accounts will automatically be invested in Class A shares. Effective April 1, 2022, any such direct purchase received by the Funds’ transfer agent for Class C shares for such accounts will be rejected.
87

Class I Shares. Class I shares are offered:
through financial intermediaries who charge such clients a fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services;
through financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to offer Class I shares;
to institutional investors, which include but are not limited to: family offices and their clients; non-profit organizations, charitable trusts, foundations and endowments; and accounts registered to bank trust departments, trust companies, registered investment advisers and investment companies; and
to current or retired officers, directors and employees (and their spouse (or legal equivalent recognized under state law) and any children under 21) of the Funds, The Hartford, the sub-adviser(s) to the Funds, Hartford Administrative Services Company, and their affiliates.
Class I shares are not available to qualified employee benefit plans and other retirement savings plans. This restriction does not apply to qualified employee benefit plans (such as a health savings account or health savings plan) offered to current or retired officers, directors and employees (and their spouse (or legal equivalent recognized under state law) and any children under 21) of the Funds, The Hartford, the sub-adviser(s) to the Funds, Hartford Administrative Services Company, and their affiliates. Class I shares have a minimum investment requirement of $2,000 for all accounts except: $250, if establishing an AIP, with recurring monthly investments of at least $50.
Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. Class R3, R4, R5 and R6 shares are available only to 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit-sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans, nonqualified deferred compensation plans, health savings plans, health savings accounts, and funded welfare benefit plans (e.g., Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) plans). Class R3, R4, R5 and R6 shares generally are available only where the shares are held on the books of the Fund through omnibus accounts (either at the plan level or at the level of the financial services firm). Class R3, R4, R5 and R6 shares are not available to retail non-retirement accounts, Traditional and Roth Individual Retirement accounts (IRAs), Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs and individual 403(b) plans.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered:
through financial intermediaries who charge such clients a fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services;
through financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Distributor to offer Class Y shares through a no-load network or platform (as discussed below under “Commissions and Transaction Fees”, a financial intermediary may require you to pay a commission when buying and selling such “no-load” shares); and
to institutional investors, which include but are not limited to: family offices and their clients; non-profit organizations, charitable trusts, foundations and endowments; and accounts registered to bank trust departments, trust companies, registered investment advisers and investment companies.
Class Y shares have an investment minimum of $250,000, which is waived when the shares are purchased through omnibus accounts (or similar types of accounts). The investment minimum for Class Y shares does not apply to qualified employee benefit plans and other retirement savings plans.
Class Y shares are no longer available to new qualified employee benefit plans and other retirement savings plans, except as indicated below. Purchases of Class Y shares by certain retirement plans are permitted under the following circumstances: (i) purchases by qualified employee benefit plans and other retirement savings plans that held Class Y shares of any Hartford mutual fund as of close of business on March 29, 2019; (ii) purchases through reinvestment of dividends; (iii) purchases by qualified employee benefit plans and other retirement savings plans that have been pre-approved by the Distributor to purchase Class Y shares; and (iv) purchases, including through reinvestment of dividends, by qualified employee benefit plans and other retirement savings plans that received shares of the Fund as part of a reorganization.
Class F Shares. Class F shares are generally only available through financial intermediaries that have entered into an appropriate agreement to sell Class F shares of a Fund. However, purchases by affiliated investment companies, purchases by 529 plans or purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class F shares may be made directly through the Funds’ transfer agent. Class F shares are not available to retirement plans. Class F shares do not have a minimum initial investment requirement when the shares are purchased through omnibus accounts (or similar types of accounts). All
88

other eligible investors must meet the minimum initial investment requirement of at least $1,000,000 in Class F shares of a Fund, except for affiliated investment companies and 529 plans. Each Fund reserves the right in its sole discretion to waive the minimum initial investment requirement.
Choosing a Share Class
Each share class has its own cost structure, allowing you to choose the one that best meets your needs. When you choose your class of shares, you should consider a number of factors, including the size of your investment and how long you plan to hold your shares, the expenses borne by each class, any front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applicable to a class and whether you qualify for any reduction or waiver of sales charges, and the availability of the share class for purchase by you. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes, which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive class. The Funds, the Funds’ transfer agent, and the Distributor do not provide investment advice. Please contact your financial intermediary to determine which share class may be appropriate for you.
In making your decision regarding which share class may be best for you to invest in, please keep in mind that your financial intermediary or plan administrator may receive different compensation depending on the share class you buy and different share classes may offer you different services. You should consult with your financial intermediary about the comparative pricing and features of each share class, the services available for shareholders in each share class, the compensation that your financial intermediary will receive in connection with each share class and other factors that may affect your decision about the best share class to buy.
Each of Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R4 has adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan that allows that class to pay distribution and service fees for the sale and distribution of its shares and for providing services to shareholders. Because these fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

COMMISSIONS AND TRANSACTION FEES. You may be required to pay a commission to your financial intermediary when buying or selling Class I, Class R6, Class Y, or Class F shares. The Funds make available other share classes that have different fees and expenses, which are disclosed and described in this prospectus. Please contact your financial intermediary for more information on commissions. Although the Funds do not charge a transaction fee, you may be charged a fee by financial intermediaries for the purchase or sale of a Fund’s shares through that financial intermediary. This transaction fee is separate from any sales charge that a Fund may apply. Please contact your financial intermediary for more information on transaction fees.

Investments of $1 million or more in Class A shares may be made with no front-end sales charge. However, if you qualify to purchase your Class A shares without any sales charge and you redeem those shares within 18 months of the purchase, you may pay a CDSC of 1.00% on any Class A shares sold. For purposes of this CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the first day of that month. The amount of any CDSC is based on the lesser of the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being sold and is not charged on shares you acquired by reinvesting your dividends and capital gains distributions. Each time you place a request to sell shares, we will first sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. This CDSC will not apply where the selling broker dealer was not paid a commission.
In order to determine the dollar amount of the sales charges you pay, we multiply the applicable percentage by the dollar amount of your desired investment. The total dollar amount of the sales charge is rounded to two decimal places using standard rounding criteria and is included in the public offering price of a Fund. Your total purchase amount is then divided by the Fund’s per share public offering price to determine the number of shares you receive in the Fund. This number is rounded to three decimal places using standard rounding criteria. Because of this rounding, the front-end sales charge you pay, when expressed as a percentage of the offering price, may be higher or lower than the amount stated in the Fund’s fee table (as illustrated in the table above).
For example, you want to invest $100.00 in Class A shares of a Fund. Assume the shares have a public offering price of $15.72 (includes front-end sales charge), a total net asset value of $14.86, and a front-end sales charge of 5.5%. The total dollar amount of the sales charge would be $5.48; the total net asset value of the shares purchased would be $94.52; and the total number of shares purchased would equal 6.361 shares. Therefore, the calculated sales charge rate is 5.48% (sales charge paid divided by the net investment). Please note that this example is a hypothetical and is not intended to represent the value of any Fund.
The Distributor may pay up to the entire amount of the sales commission to particular broker-dealers. The Distributor may pay dealers of record commissions on purchases of $1 million or more in an amount of up to 1.00% on the first $10 million, 0.50% of the next $30 million, and 0.25% of share purchases over $40 million. This commission schedule may also apply to certain sales of Class A shares made to investors that qualify under some of the categories listed under “Front-End Sales Charge Waivers for Class A Shares.” Commissions are based on cumulative investments over the life of the account with no adjustment for redemptions, transfers, or market declines.
Retirement plans that owned or were offered Class A shares on or before June 30, 2007 are not subject to the Class A shares’ commission schedule and CDSC.
You may qualify for a reduced sales charge, or the sales charge may be waived, as described under “Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers for Class A and Class C Shares.” Descriptions of any financial intermediary specific sales charge waivers and discounts are set forth in Appendix A to the prospectus.
Class C Shares. Class C deferred sales charges are listed below. No CDSC is charged on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being sold, whichever is less. A front-end sales charge is not assessed on Class C shares.

For purposes of the Class C CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the first day of that month. Please note that for purposes of the expense examples and performance returns shown in this prospectus, the figures include the effect of the Class C CDSC as if it had been incurred prior to the expiration of the applicable period. Each time you place a request to sell shares, we will first sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC.
When you request a redemption, the amount withdrawn from your account will equal the specified dollar amount of the redemption request plus the dollar amount of any applicable CDSC. If you do not want any additional amount withdrawn from your account to cover the CDSC due, please indicate that the applicable CDSC should be withdrawn from the total distribution amount requested.
Additional Information Regarding the CDSC with respect to Class A and Class C Shares. Proceeds from the CDSC are paid to the Distributor and are used in whole or in part by the Distributor to defray its expenses related to providing distribution-related services to a Fund in connection with the sale of the Class A and Class C shares, such as the payment of compensation to select selling brokers for selling these classes of shares. The combination of the CDSC and the distribution and service fees facilitates the ability of each Fund to sell the Class C shares without a front-end sales charge being deducted, and to sell Class A shares with the maximum applicable sales charge at the time of the purchase.
Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers for Class A and Class C Shares. There are several ways you can combine multiple purchases of shares of the Hartford mutual funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the Class A shares’ sales charge schedule. In all instances, it is your responsibility to notify your financial intermediary or the Funds’ transfer agent at the time of purchase of any facts qualifying you for sales charge waivers or discounts. If you do not let your financial intermediary or the Funds’ transfer agent know that you are eligible for a sales charge waiver or discount, you may not receive the sales charge breakpoints to which you are otherwise entitled. The Funds’ transfer agent may require evidence of your qualification for such reductions or waivers. The availability of these sales load waivers and/or discounts may depend on the particular financial intermediary or type of account through which you purchase or hold Fund shares. Please contact your financial intermediary for more information on the intermediary’s policies and procedures applicable to such waivers and/or discounts. In addition, any intermediary specific sales load waivers and/or discounts are reproduced in Appendix A based on information provided by the financial intermediaries.
Reducing Your Class A Sales Charges –  The Class A shares front-end sales charge may be reduced as follows:
Larger Purchases: You may reduce or eliminate your Class A front-end sales charge by purchasing Class A shares in greater quantities. The breakpoint discounts offered by each Fund are indicated under the heading “How Sales Charges Are Calculated - Class A Shares.”
Accumulation Privilege: Under the accumulation privilege, the applicable sales charge level for Class A shares of a Fund is calculated by aggregating (a) the dollar amount then being purchased plus (b) an amount equal to the then-current, as of the business day immediately prior to such purchases, net asset value of the purchaser’s holdings of all shares (other than Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6) of the series of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. and holdings in The Hartford® SMART529® College Savings Plan. For purposes of this Accumulation Privilege, a qualifying investor may include all shares owned by family members which means the owner’s spouse (or legal equivalent recognized under state law) and any children under 21. Employer-sponsored retirement plans or certain tax qualified retirements accounts may also receive these breakpoints as long as the Funds’ transfer agent or the financial intermediary is notified at the time of purchase. The Accumulation Privilege may be amended or terminated at any time as to subsequent purchases.
Letter Of Intent: A Letter of Intent (“LOI”) lets you purchase Class A shares of a Fund over a 13-month period and receive the same sales charge as if all shares had been purchased at once. Any person may use an LOI to qualify for a reduced sales charge on purchases of Class A shares. Please note: (i) retirement plans that receive breakpoints at the plan level do not qualify for the LOI privilege and (ii) Class A shares acquired through the reinvestment of distributions do not constitute purchases for purposes of the LOI. A Class A shareholder may include, as an accumulation credit towards the completion of an LOI, the value of all shares of all funds of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc., The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. and holdings in The Hartford® SMART529® College Savings Plan owned by the shareholder as described above under “Accumulation Privilege.” Such value is determined based on the public offering price on the date of the LOI. For purposes of determining the applicable sales charge and breakpoint schedules when purchasing shares pursuant to a LOI, the sales charge and breakpoint schedules in effect when the initial shares under the LOI were purchased apply. During the term of a LOI, the Funds’ transfer agent will hold shares in escrow to secure payment of the higher sales charge applicable
91

for shares actually purchased if you do not purchase the amount indicated on the LOI. Dividends and capital gains will be paid on all escrowed shares and these shares will be released when the amount indicated on the LOI has been purchased. An LOI does not obligate you to buy or a Fund to sell the indicated amount of the LOI. If a Class A shareholder exceeds the amount specified in the LOI and reaches an amount that would qualify for a further quantity discount, the applicable breakpoints in the Class A shares’ sales charge schedule will be applied to such additional Class A share purchases. Any resulting difference in offering price will be used to purchase additional Class A shares for the shareholder’s account at the applicable offering price. A written request by the Funds’ transfer agent will be sent to a shareholder prior to the expiration of the LOI. If the Class A shareholder does not purchase the amount specified in the LOI by the end of the 13-month period, the Funds’ transfer agent will redeem an appropriate number of escrowed shares for an amount equal to the difference between the sales charge paid and the sales charge that would have been paid had the aggregate purchases been made at a single time. This redemption may be treated and reported as a taxable transaction to you, as discussed in the “Fund Distributions and Tax Matters” section of this prospectus. Any dealers assigned to the shareholder’s account at the time a purchase was made during the LOI period will receive a corresponding commission adjustment if appropriate. Additional information about the terms of the LOI is available from your financial intermediary or from the Funds’ transfer agent at 1-888-843-7824.
Front-End Sales Charge Waivers for Class A Shares –  The Class A shares front-end sales charge may be waived for the following individuals and institutions:
selling broker dealers and their employees and sales representatives (and their family members, as defined above under the “Accumulation Privilege” section) provided, however, that only those employees of such broker-dealers who, as a part of their usual duties, provide services related to transactions in Fund shares shall qualify,
financial representatives using Fund shares in fee-based investment products under a signed agreement with the Funds,
current or retired officers, directors and employees (and their family members, as defined above under the “Accumulation Privilege” section) of the Funds, The Hartford, the sub-advisers to Hartford Funds, Hartford Administrative Services Company, and their affiliates. Such individuals may also purchase Class I shares at net asset value,
welfare benefit plans investing in Fund shares through group variable funding agreements issued by Hartford Life Insurance Company,
if the plan is one of the following types of retirement plans and the plan was invested in or was offered as an investment option Class A shares at net asset value on or before June 30, 2007: (a) an employer-sponsored retirement plan with at least 100 participants or $500,000 in plan assets; (b) a retirement plan that buys Fund shares through a group variable funding agreement issued by Hartford Life Insurance Company; or (c) a retirement plan for which Hartford Life Insurance Company or an affiliate acts as plan administrator,
college savings programs that are qualified state tuition programs under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code,
investors purchasing through a financial intermediary that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor to offer shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts that may or may not charge a transaction fee to customers,
purchases by investors maintaining a brokerage account with a registered broker-dealer that has entered into an agreement with the distributor to offer Class A shares through a load-waived network or platform, which may or may not charge transaction fees, and
any purchases of Class A shares in an account maintained directly with the Funds’ transfer agent where there is no financial intermediary specified or Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC is listed as the dealer of record. However, if such account subsequently lists a third party dealer of record, any subsequent purchases of Class A shares in that account will be subject to any applicable front-end sales charge.
CDSC Waivers –  As long as the Funds’ transfer agent or your financial intermediary is notified at the time you sell, the CDSC for each applicable share class will generally be waived in the following cases:
to make Systematic Withdrawal Plan payments that are limited annually to no more than 12% of the value of the account at the time the plan is initiated or updated.
for death or disability.
under reorganization, liquidation, merger or acquisition transactions involving other investment companies.
92

under the following circumstances, for employer-sponsored retirement plans or tax qualified retirement accounts:
(1) to return excess contributions,
(2) hardship withdrawals as defined in employer-sponsored retirement plans,
(3) under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as defined in the Internal Revenue Code,
(4) to meet minimum distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code,
(5) to make “substantially equal payments” as described in Section 72(t) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
(6) after separation from service.
for Class C shares only, for withdrawals made pursuant to loans taken from qualified retirement plans. Loans are defined by the retirement plan’s administrator at the time of the withdrawal.
The availability of these sales load waivers may depend on the particular financial intermediary or type of account through which you purchase or hold Fund shares. Please contact your financial intermediary for more information on the intermediary’s policies and procedures applicable to such waivers. In addition, any intermediary specific sales load waivers are reproduced in Appendix A based on information provided by the financial intermediaries.
Reinstatement Privilege
If you sell shares of a Fund, you may reinvest some or all of the proceeds in shares of that Fund or any other Hartford mutual fund within 90 days without a sales charge, as long as the Funds’ transfer agent is notified before you reinvest; except that, certain qualified plans may only reinvest as a rollover within 60 days of selling shares of a Fund. In this case, once the 60 day rollover period has ended, such qualified plans may reinvest only those amounts that do not exceed the maximum qualified plan contribution amount for their account in that given tax year. If you sold Class A or C shares, you must reinvest in shares of the same class to take advantage of the reinstatement privilege. If you paid a CDSC when you sold your Class A or Class C shares, you will be credited with the amount of that CDSC. All accounts involved must have the same registration.
Information about sales charges and sales charge reductions or waivers is available, free of charge, on the Funds’ website hartfordfunds.com. The website includes hyperlinks that facilitate access to this information.

How To Buy And Sell Shares
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. In some cases, Federal law also requires us to verify and record information that identifies the natural persons who control and beneficially own a legal entity that opens an account. What this means to you: when you open an account, we will ask for names, addresses, dates of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you and certain other natural persons associated with the account. For some legal entity accounts, you will be asked to provide identifying information for one natural person that controls the entity, and for each natural person that beneficially owns 25% or more of the legal entity.
We are also required to obtain information that identifies each authorized signer for an account by requesting name, residential address, date of birth and social security number for each of your authorized signers. We appreciate your cooperation.
If a Fund is not able to adequately identify you within the time frames set forth in the law, your shares may be automatically redeemed. If the net asset value per share has decreased since your purchase, you will lose money as a result of this redemption. You may also incur any applicable sales charge.
Of critical importance, is the location of those authorized to transact on an account at the time the transaction request is placed with a Fund. In general, shareholders and authorized traders may only place trades with a Fund when physically in the U.S., a U.S. territory, stationed at a military base, or stationed at a U.S. Embassy. The location of the authorized caller may be obtained on a recorded phone call or in writing.
Each Fund offers the classes of shares described in “Classes of Shares” above and not all share classes discussed below may be available for each Fund.
Initial Purchases
Before you invest, please read this prospectus carefully.
Determine how much you want to invest. The minimum investment amounts are as follows:
Class A, Class C and Class I shares –  $2,000 for initial investments, at least $50 for subsequent investments; except Automatic Investment Plans, which require $250 to open and at least $50 per month invested in the Fund thereafter.
Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 shares –  no investment minimum and no subsequent investment minimum.
Class Y shares –  $250,000 minimum initial investment. This requirement is waived when the shares are purchased through omnibus accounts (or similar types of accounts). No subsequent investment minimum.
Class F shares - $1,000,000 minimum initial investment. This requirement is waived when the shares are purchased through omnibus accounts (or similar types of accounts). No subsequent investment minimum.
To make an initial investment in a class of shares of a Fund, please contact your financial intermediary. Certain classes may not be available through all financial intermediaries. For more information regarding investing through a financial intermediary, please see “Additional Information Regarding Investing through a Financial Intermediary” below.
Certain classes of shares of a Fund may also be purchased through the Funds’ transfer agent by filling out an account application and mailing it to the address below. Effective April 1, 2022, Class A shares will no longer be available for purchase by accounts for which no broker-dealer or other financial intermediary is specified, except under the following circumstances: (i) purchases by shareholders who have an existing account without a broker-dealer or financial intermediary as of the close of business on March 31, 2022 to add to their existing Fund account through subsequent purchases, through exchanges from other Hartford mutual funds, or through conversions of another share class in the Fund for Class A shares in the same Fund; (ii) purchases by shareholders in an Orphaned Account (as defined above in the section entitled “Classes of Shares –  Investor Requirements”); or (iii) purchases through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
The Funds do not accept direct purchases of Class C shares by accounts for which no broker-dealer or other financial intermediary is specified. Prior to April 1, 2022, any such direct purchase received by the Funds’ transfer agent for Class C shares for such accounts will automatically be invested in Class A shares. Effective April 1, 2022, any such direct purchases received by the Funds’ transfer agent for Class C shares for such accounts will be rejected.
94

Accounts held directly with the transfer agent (i.e. not plan level or an omnibus position) are charged a $30 annual direct account fee. All accounts are subject to this fee other than accounts of any sub-adviser to the Hartford Funds, accounts of employees of the sub-advisers to the Hartford Funds, The Hartford® SMART529® College Savings Plan, and affiliated investment companies. This fee is not charged to shareholders who hold Fund shares through an omnibus account with a financial intermediary. Under certain limited circumstances, the $30 annual direct account fee may be waived for certain other accounts at the discretion of Hartford Administrative Services Company. A confirmation of the fee assessment, if applicable, will appear on your next quarterly account statement subsequent to the actual assessment date. If you have questions about the direct account fee, please call the transfer agent at 1-888-843-7824. If you are invested in the Funds directly through a retirement account or Coverdell Education Savings Account with UMB Bank, n.a., you will also be subject to an annual maintenance fee of up to $25.

Selling Shares
You may redeem your shares by having your financial intermediary process your redemption. Your financial intermediary will be responsible for furnishing all necessary documents to a Fund and may charge you for this service. With respect to accounts held directly with the transfer agent (i.e. not plan level or an omnibus position), you may also sell your shares through the Funds’ transfer agent as noted below.
On the Web: Visit hartfordfunds.com, select “Account Access” from the role drop-down menu at the top of the home page and follow the instructions. To redeem to your bank account, bank instructions must be submitted to the transfer agent in writing. Because of legal and tax restrictions on withdrawals from retirement accounts, you will not be allowed to enter a redemption request for these types of accounts online.
By Phone: Only non-retirement accounts or IRA plans may redeem by telephone, and redemptions are restricted to up to $50,000 per shareholder per market day. To place your order, call the transfer agent at 1-888-843-7824 on any regular business day. Complete transaction instructions on a specific account must be received in good order and confirmed by Hartford Funds prior to 4 P.M. Eastern Time or the close of the New York Stock Exchange, whichever comes first. Any transaction on an account received after such time will receive the next business day’s offering price. For automated service 24 hours a day using your touch-tone phone, call 1-888-843-7824. For your protection, telephone requests may be recorded in order to verify their accuracy. Proceeds from telephone transactions may be either mailed to the address of record, or sent electronically to a bank account on file. Also, for your protection, telephone redemptions are limited on accounts whose addresses or bank instructions have been added or changed within the past 30 days. For circumstances in which you need to request to sell shares in writing, see “Selling Shares By Letter or Form.”
By Electronic Funds Transfer or Wire: For complete instructions on how to redeem shares of Hartford Funds by electronic funds transfer or wire, contact Hartford Funds at 1-888-843-7824.

Exchanging Shares
You may exchange one class of shares of a Fund for shares of the same class of any other Hartford mutual fund if such share class is available. Under certain limited circumstances, you may also be able to exchange Class R6 shares for SDR shares of other Hartford mutual funds. With respect to exchanges of Class A shares and Class C shares, any CDSC will continue to be calculated from the date of your initial investment but will not be charged at the time of the exchange. The CDSC schedule of the original shares purchased will continue to apply after such exchange.
Before exchanging shares, you should carefully read the prospectus relating to the exchanged-for shares. Call your plan administrator or financial intermediary or the transfer agent at the number below to request an exchange, for any questions regarding exchanging shares, or to obtain a current prospectus for the Hartford Fund into which you wish to exchange.
If you are a Class A or Class C shareholder, you may also request an exchange by doing the following:
If you hold your shares directly with the transfer agent (i.e. not plan level or an omnibus position) and have an online account with hartfordfunds.com, you may exchange your shares on the web by accessing your account online and following the instructions.
Write a letter of instruction indicating the Fund names, share class, dollar/share amount, account number, the name(s) in which the accounts are registered, and your signature, and deliver these instructions to your financial intermediary or plan administrator, or mail or fax to the address listed below.
The registration for both accounts involved in the exchange must be identical and you must meet the initial investment minimum applicable to such shares of the other Fund (as disclosed in the prospectus), except as noted below with respect to Class Y shares. All exchanges are made at net asset value. If doing a partial exchange, you must retain at least $1,000 in the Fund from which you exchange. Class Y shares of a Fund may be exchanged for Class Y shares of another Fund, if (i) the shareholder is already a holder of Class Y shares of the other Fund or (ii) the initial investment minimum applicable to Class Y shares of the other Fund (as disclosed in the prospectus) is satisfied in connection with the exchange.
You may be subject to tax liability or sales charges as a result of your exchange. Please see the section of the statutory prospectus entitled “Fund Distributions and Tax Matters — Taxability Of Transactions” for more information.
Each Fund reserves the right in its sole discretion to amend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time, for any reason.
Automatic Conversions
Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares of the same Fund after 8 years provided that the Fund or the financial intermediary has records verifying that the Class C shares have been held for at least 8 years. The conversions will occur during the month in which the 8-year anniversary of the purchase occurs. Due to operational limitations at your financial intermediary, your ability to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A may be limited.
In addition, any Class C shares held in Orphaned Accounts (as defined below) will periodically be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund. Certain shareholder accounts are maintained with the transfer agent and list a broker-dealer of record (“Prior Broker-Dealer of Record”), and if, subsequently, such Prior Broker-Dealer of Record resigns from the account resulting in such account being held directly with the transfer agent without a new broker-dealer of record for such account, then such account would be referred to as an “Orphaned Account.”
The value of the shares received during a conversion will be based on the relative NAV of the shares being converted and the shares received as a result of the conversion without the imposition of any front-end sales charge or CDSC. In general, conversions of one share class for a different share class of the same Fund should not result in the realization by the investor of a taxable capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please see the section of the statutory prospectus entitled “Fund Distributions and Tax Matters — Taxability Of Transactions” for more information.
97

Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of an intra-fund conversion. Each Fund reserves the right in its sole discretion to amend or terminate the conversion feature at any time, for any reason.
Conversions
Subject to the conditions set forth in this section, shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into (i.e., reclassified as) shares of a different class of the same Fund at the request of a shareholder’s financial intermediary. To qualify for any conversion, the shareholder must satisfy the eligibility and other conditions for investing in the class into which the conversion is sought (as described in the prospectus). Subject to certain limited circumstances, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 (each an “R share”) of a Fund may be converted into (i.e., reclassified) a different R share class in the same Fund. Under certain circumstances, the following other classes are eligible for conversions:
Class A shares may be converted into Class R6 shares or Class F shares of the same Fund if the shares that you are converting are no longer subject to a CDSC or the financial intermediary agrees to reimburse the Funds’ distributor a portion of the CDSC otherwise payable upon the sale of such shares;
Class A shares may be converted into Class I shares or Class Y shares of the same Fund if (a) the shares that you are converting are no longer subject to a CDSC or the financial intermediary agrees to reimburse the Funds’ distributor a portion of the CDSC otherwise payable upon the sale of such shares; and (b) the conversion is made to facilitate the shareholder’s participation in certain fee-based advisory programs or a no-load network or platform, among other reasons consistent with the eligibility requirements of such class;
Class C shares may be converted into Class A shares or Class I shares of the same Fund if (a) the shares that you are converting are no longer subject to a CDSC or the financial intermediary agrees to reimburse the Funds’ distributor a portion of the CDSC otherwise payable upon the sale of such shares; and (b) the shareholder is eligible to purchase Class A shares at NAV or the conversion is made to facilitate the shareholder’s participation in certain fee based advisory programs;
Class I shares may be converted into Class Y shares, Class R6 shares or Class F shares; and
Class Y shares may be converted into Class R6 shares or Class F shares.
In addition to the conversion scenarios described above, in certain circumstances, shares of one class of shares may be converted into shares of another share class of the same Fund for which the shareholder is eligible in the event that (a) the shareholder switches to another financial intermediary that does not offer such share class and such financial intermediary offers another share class of the same Fund for which such shareholder is eligible; or (b) the shareholder is no longer eligible to purchase such share class based on the eligibility requirements set forth in the prospectus or the applicable regulatory determination made by such shareholder’s financial intermediary (for example, the shareholder no longer participates in a fee-based, wrap, or other investment platform program of its financial intermediary or related to the requirements of a settlement agreement that the financial intermediary entered into with a regulatory body). Conversions of a share class into Class A shares under the foregoing limited circumstances will be at net asset value without the imposition of a front-end sales charge.
Not all share classes discussed above may be available for each Fund and not all of the conversions discussed above may be available through your financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries that are interested in a conversion on behalf of a shareholder should call 1-888-843-7824 to determine whether such feature is available. Please note that (1) both accounts involved in the conversion must be identical, (2) you will need to observe eligibility requirements, and (3) the proper selling agreements must be in place. In addition, the financial intermediary must process and report the transaction as a conversion.
The value of the shares received during a conversion will be based on the relative NAV of the shares being converted and the shares received as a result of the conversion. In general, conversions of one share class for a different share class of the same Fund should not result in the realization by the investor of a taxable capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please see the section of the statutory prospectus entitled “Fund Distributions and Tax Matters — Taxability Of Transactions” for more information. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of an intra-fund conversion. Each Fund reserves the right in its sole discretion to amend or terminate the conversion feature at any time, for any reason.

Valuation of Shares
The net asset value per share (“NAV”) is determined for each class of each Fund’s shares as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the Exchange is open (“Valuation Date”). If the Exchange is closed due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, each Fund may treat such day as a typical business day and accept purchase and redemption orders and calculate each Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The NAV for each class of shares of each Fund is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to a class of shares by the number of shares outstanding for that class. Information that becomes known to a Fund after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day.
For purposes of calculating the NAV of each class 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 official close price or last reported trade price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers (including evaluated prices), or independent pricing services. Pricing vendors may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, general market conditions, news, and other factors and assumptions.
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 Boards of Directors (“Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (each a “Company”) (“Valuation Procedures”). 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. 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.
Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally be 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. 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.
Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) and non-exchange traded derivatives held by a Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Exchange traded derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures, are valued at the last sale price determined by the exchange where such instruments principally trade as of the close of such exchange (“Exchange Close”). If a last sale price is not available, the value will be the mean of the most recently quoted bid and ask prices as of the Exchange Close. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the most recently quoted bid price as of the Exchange Close. Over-the-counter derivatives are normally valued based on prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using the prevailing spot currency 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
99

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 Exchange 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 investment companies that are not listed or traded on an exchange (“Non-Traded Funds”), if any, are valued at the respective NAV of each Non-Traded Fund on the Valuation Date. Shares of investment companies listed and traded on an exchange are valued in the same manner as any exchange-listed equity security. Such Non-Traded Funds and listed investment companies 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 the Valuation Procedures.
Buy and Sell Prices
When you buy shares, you pay the NAV plus any applicable sales charges. When you sell shares, you receive the NAV less any applicable sales charges.
Execution Of Requests
Each Fund is open on those days when the Exchange is open, typically Monday through Friday. Buy and sell requests are executed at the next NAV calculated after your request is received, if your order is in “good order” (has all required information), by the transfer agent, authorized broker-dealers or their authorized designee, or third-party administrators. For more information regarding requests in “good order,” please see below.
Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order in whole or in part and suspend and resume the sale of any share class of the Fund at any time for any reason.
With respect to accounts directly held through the Funds’ transfer agent, you may buy and sell shares of each Fund on the web, by telephone, by wire or by mail. With respect to accounts directly held through the Funds’ transfer agent, you may exchange your shares by telephone, on the web, or by mail. Note that requests to buy, sell or exchange shares by mail must be sent to the P.O. box at the address provided elsewhere in this prospectus and will be sent from that address to the transfer agent for processing. Your request will be priced at the next NAV calculated after the transfer agent receives the request rather than after the request arrives at the P.O. box. At times of peak activity, it may be difficult to place requests by phone. During these times, visit hartfordfunds.com or consider sending your request in writing.
For shareholders that hold accounts with financial intermediaries, each Fund typically expects to pay sale proceeds to a redeeming shareholder’s account within 1 - 3 business days following receipt of the shareholder redemption order. For sale proceeds that are paid directly to a shareholder with respect to accounts held directly with the transfer agent, each Fund typically expects to pay sales proceeds, by electronic funds transfer, wire or by mailing a check, to redeeming shareholders within 1 business day, following receipt of the shareholder redemption order. Payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time each Fund typically expects and may take up to seven days as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption for longer than seven days only as allowed by federal securities laws.
Under normal conditions, each Fund expects to meet redemption orders by using a combination of cash and cash equivalents holdings (including cash flows into the Fund) and/or by the sale of portfolio investments, although each Fund reserves the right to use temporary borrowings from its custodian bank (in the form of overdrafts) to meet redemptions, if necessary. As the Investment Manager determines to be appropriate in response to unusual circumstances or stressed market conditions, each Fund may use a line of credit, reverse repurchase agreements, interfund lending, or in-kind redemptions to meet redemption requests. As of March 1, 2022, each Fund does not engage in interfund lending.
Additional Information Regarding Investing through a Financial Intermediary
You may purchase shares of the Funds through an approved financial intermediary. These intermediaries may charge you additional fees and may require different minimum investments or impose other limitations on buying and selling shares in addition to those applicable to shareholders who invest in the Funds directly. Please note that if you are purchasing shares through a retirement plan, you may need to call the administrator of the plan for details on
100

purchases, redemptions and other account activity. Some of the services and programs described in this prospectus may not be available or may differ if you are purchasing shares through a financial intermediary. You should check with your financial intermediary for further details.
Requests In “Good Order”
All purchase and redemption requests must be received by a Fund in “good order.” This means that your request includes all accurate required information. The specific requirements for “good order” depend on the type of transaction and the method of purchase. The information generally required includes:
Name, date of birth, residential address, and social security number.
The Fund name, share class and account number.
The amount of the transaction (in dollars or shares).
Signatures of all owners exactly as registered on the account (for mail requests).
Medallion signature guarantee or Signature Validation Program stamp (if required).
Any supporting legal documentation that may be required.
Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares
The Funds are intended to be long-term investment vehicles and are not designed to provide investors with a means of speculating on short-term market movements (market timing). Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by a Fund’s shareholders can disrupt the management of the Fund, negatively affect the Fund’s performance, and increase expenses for all Fund shareholders. In particular, frequent trading (i) can force a Fund’s portfolio manager to hold larger cash positions than desired instead of fully investing all the Fund’s assets, which can result in lost investment opportunities; (ii) can cause unplanned and inopportune portfolio turnover in order to meet redemption requests; (iii) can increase broker-dealer commissions and other transaction costs as well as administrative costs for the Fund; and (iv) can trigger taxable gains for other shareholders. Also, some frequent traders engage in arbitrage strategies, by which these traders seek to exploit pricing anomalies that can occur when a Fund invests in securities that are thinly traded (for example, some high yield bonds and small capitalization stocks) or are traded primarily in markets outside of the United States. Frequent traders, and in particular those using arbitrage strategies, can dilute a Fund’s NAV for long-term shareholders.
If you intend to trade frequently or use market timing investment strategies, you should not purchase the Funds.
The Board has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by Fund shareholders. The Funds’ policy is to discourage investors from trading in the Funds’ shares in an excessive manner that would be harmful to long-term investors and to make reasonable efforts to detect and deter excessive trading. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order at any time and for any reason, without prior written notice. Each Fund also reserves the right to revoke the exchange privileges of any person at any time and for any reason. In making such determinations, a Fund may consider an investor’s trading history in any of the Funds, including the person’s trading history in any accounts under a person’s common ownership or control. No system for the prevention and detection of market timing and other abusive trading activities can be expected to identify, address or eliminate all such activities in Fund shares.
It is the policy of the Funds to permit only two “substantive round trips” by an investor within any single Fund within a 90-day period. A substantive round trip is a purchase of or an exchange into a Fund and a redemption of or an exchange out of the same Fund in a dollar amount that the Funds’ transfer agent determines, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, could adversely affect the management of the Fund. When an additional purchase or exchange order request for a Fund is received within the 90-day period, the requested transaction shall be rejected (unless such transaction was a transaction in an omnibus account that was identified, in accordance with the procedures described below, after it had already occurred). In addition, the person requesting such transaction shall be deemed an “Excessive Trader.” All exchange and purchase privileges of an Excessive Trader shall be suspended within such Fund for the first violation of the policy for a period of 90 days. For a second violation of the policy, the exchange and purchase privileges of the Excessive Trader shall be suspended indefinitely. If an Excessive Trader makes exchanges through a registered representative, in appropriate circumstances the Funds’ transfer agent may terminate the registered representative’s exchange and purchase privileges in the Funds. The frequent trading limitations do not apply to the following: (1) any transaction not initiated by a shareholder or its registered representative; (2) transactions that are part of a systematic program; (3) automatic programs offered by the Funds, such as dollar cost averaging, dividend diversification and systematic withdrawals; (4) transactions of $1,000 or less; (5) transactions by a Fund of Funds where Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC or an affiliate serves as the investment adviser; (6)
101

transactions by a 529 plan where Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC or an affiliate is the program manager; (7) permitted conversion of shares from one share class to another share class within the same Fund; and (8) transactions, including certain rebalancing transactions, that a Fund, in its discretion, determines are not abusive or harmful.
The Funds’ policies for deterring frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by a Fund shareholder are intended to be applied uniformly to all Fund shareholders to the extent practicable. Some financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers, investment advisors, plan administrators, and third-party transfer agents, however, maintain omnibus accounts in which they aggregate orders of multiple investors and forward the aggregated orders to the Funds. Because the Funds receive these orders on an aggregated basis and because these omnibus accounts may trade with numerous fund families with differing market timing policies, the Funds are limited in their ability to identify or deter Excessive Traders or other abusive traders. The Funds’ procedures with respect to omnibus accounts are as follows: (1) Where the Funds’ transfer agent is provided individual shareholder level transaction detail on a daily basis, the Funds’ transfer agent shall monitor the daily trade activity of individual shareholders and apply the Policy. (2) Where the Funds’ transfer agent is not provided individual shareholder level transaction detail on a daily basis, the Funds’ transfer agent shall monitor the accounts at an omnibus level and apply detection tools designed to determine whether shareholder transactions violating the Policy may be occurring. In such cases, the Funds’ transfer agent shall request and evaluate individual shareholder level transaction detail and seek to impose restrictions in accordance with the Policy. The Funds’ ability to identify and deter frequent purchases and redemptions of a Fund’s shares through omnibus accounts is limited, and the Funds’ success in accomplishing the objectives of the policies concerning frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares in this context depends significantly upon the cooperation of the financial intermediaries. In addition to the foregoing, the Funds’ transfer agent also employs a process for reviewing certain large transactions in the Funds and may restrict trading as a result of its review.
The use of fair value pricing can serve both to make the Funds less attractive to market timers and to reduce the potential adverse consequences to other investors of market timing or abusive trading. Certain market timers may seek to take advantage of pricing anomalies that can occur in Fund shares resulting from the manner in which the NAV of the Funds’ shares is determined each day. Frequent trading in Fund shares can dilute the value of long-term shareholders’ interests in a Fund if the Fund calculates its NAV using closing prices that are no longer accurate. Funds that invest in overseas markets or that invest in securities of smaller issuers or thinly traded securities are more susceptible to this activity. The Funds’ pricing procedures, particularly those procedures governing the determination of the “fair value” of securities for which market prices are not readily available (or are unreliable) for foreign securities, may serve as a deterrent against harmful excessive trading in fund shares. For additional information concerning the Funds’ fair value procedures, please refer to “Valuation of Shares.”
The Funds reserve the right to modify this policy, including any surveillance procedures established from time to time to effectuate this policy, at any time without notice. The Funds, the Investment Manager, and/or the Funds’ transfer agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from rejected purchase orders or exchanges.
Certificated Shares
Shares are electronically recorded and share certificates are not issued.
Account Closings
There may be instances in which it is appropriate for your account to be closed. Your account could be closed if: (i) your identity cannot be verified or you fail to provide a valid SSN or TIN; (ii) the registered address of your account is outside of the United States or in a U.S. jurisdiction in which the Fund shares are not registered; (iii) transactions in your account raise suspicions of money laundering, fraud or other illegal conduct; (iv) shares purchased are not paid for when due; (v) your account does not meet the qualifications for ownership for the particular class of shares held in your account; (vi) maintenance of your account jeopardizes the tax status or qualifications of the Funds; (vii) your account balance falls to $1,000 or less and you fail to bring the account above $1,000 within thirty (30) days of notification; (viii) there is a change in your broker of record, for example your broker is no longer able to sell Fund shares; or (ix) closing the account is determined to be in the best interests of the Fund.
Neither the Funds, the Investment Manager, the Distributor, Hartford Administrative Services Company nor any of their affiliates will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Sales In Advance of Purchase Payments
When you place a request to sell shares for which the purchase money has not yet been collected, the request will be executed in a timely fashion, but the Fund will not release the proceeds to you until your purchase payment clears. This may take up to 5 business days after the purchase.
102

Special Redemptions
Although each Fund would not normally do so, each Fund has the right to pay the redemption price of shares of the Fund in whole or in part in portfolio securities constituting the shareholder’s proportionate share of the current assets of the Fund rather than cash. When the shareholder sells portfolio securities received in this fashion, transaction costs would be incurred. Prior to such sale, the shareholder would be exposed to market risk. Any such securities would be valued for the purposes of making such payment at the same value as used in determining a Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund, however, always redeems shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1.00% of the net asset value of the Fund during any 90 day period for any one account.
Abandoned Property
It is the responsibility of the shareholder to keep the shareholder’s account(s) active and to provide Hartford Funds with a current and correct address for the shareholder’s account(s). An out-of-date or incorrect address may cause a shareholder’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to Hartford Funds. If your account has no activity in it within a certain period of time, Hartford Funds may be required to transfer it to a state under the state’s abandoned property law, subject to potential federal or state withholding taxes. For IRAs escheated to a state under these abandoned property laws, the escheatment will generally be treated as a taxable distribution to you; federal and any applicable state income tax will be withheld. This may apply to your Roth IRA as well. Hartford Funds will not be liable to a shareholder or a shareholder’s financial intermediary for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property (escheatment) laws or related federal tax withholding requirements.
To learn more about the escheatment rules for your particular state, please contact your attorney or State Treasurer’s and/or Controller’s Offices. If you do not hold your shares directly with a Fund, you should contact your financial intermediary, retirement plan or other third party intermediary regarding applicable state escheatment laws.
Escheatment laws vary by state, and states have different criteria for defining inactivity and unclaimed or abandoned property. Hartford Funds strongly encourages you to keep your account active and up-to-date. Depending on laws in your jurisdiction, you may assist us in safeguarding your investments for accounts directly held with Hartford Funds by at least once a year: (i) logging in to your account at hartfordfunds.com and viewing your account information; (ii) calling Hartford Funds at 1-888-843-7824 for an account balance or speaking with a customer service representative at the same phone number after you go through a security verification process; and (iii) taking action on letters received in the mail from Hartford Funds concerning account inactivity, outstanding checks and/or escheatment or abandoned property and promptly following the directions in such letters. Residents of certain states may designate a representative to receive escheatment or abandoned property notices regarding Fund shares. For more information, please contact your financial intermediary. Please be advised that simply visiting the above Hartford Funds website or making contact by phone may not establish sufficient contact for purposes of escheatment laws in certain states. Check with your state of residence for specifics.
Payment Requirements
All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks and made payable to Hartford Funds. You may not purchase shares with a starter or third party check.
If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you will be liable for any losses or fees that a Fund or the Distributor has incurred.
Certain broker-dealers and financial institutions may enter confirmed purchase orders with the Funds on behalf of customers with payment to follow within the customary settlement period. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the broker-dealer or financial institution will be held liable for the resulting fees or losses.
Account Statements and Duplicate Copies of Materials to Households
You will receive account and tax information statements, if applicable, from your financial intermediary pursuant to its policies or from the transfer agent, depending on how your shares are held with a Fund. If you receive account statements from the transfer agent, you may request copies of annual account summaries by calling 1-888-843-7824. A $20 fee may be charged for account summaries older than the preceding year.
To reduce Fund expenses, we try to identify related shareholders in a household and send only one copy of the summary prospectus, shareholder reports (to the extent received by mail), proxy statements, and information statements. You may view current prospectuses/summary prospectuses and shareholder reports on our website. If you hold your account directly with the Funds’ transfer agent and you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call us at 1-888-843-7824 or notify us in writing. Individual copies of such materials will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after we receive your request to stop householding for accounts directly held with the
103

Funds’ transfer agent. If your account is not held directly with the Funds’ transfer agent, please contact your financial intermediary for information on your financial intermediary’s policy with respect to householding and/or how to change your householding status.
Additional Investor Services - Class A and Class C Shares
Contact your financial intermediary to determine if you are eligible for any additional investor services. The following outlines the additional investor services for accounts that are directly held with the Fund’s transfer agent:
Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) lets you set up regular investments from your bank account to a Fund. You determine the frequency and amount of your investments, and you can terminate your program at any time. To establish, complete the appropriate parts of your account application, or if this is an IRA account, complete the “Mutual Funds Automatic Investment Form.” If you are using AIP to open an account, you must invest a minimum initial investment of $250 into a Fund and invest a minimum of $50 per month into the Fund.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) may be used for routine bill payments or periodic withdrawals from your account. To establish, make sure you have at least $5,000 worth of shares in your account and that the amount per transaction is $50 or more. Also, make sure you are not planning to invest more money in this account (buying shares of a Fund during a period when you are also selling shares of the Fund is not advantageous to you, because of sales charges). Specify the payee(s), who may be yourself or any other party. There is no limit to the number of payees you may have. A Medallion signature guarantee is required if the payee is someone other than the registered owner. Determine the schedule (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or in certain selected months) and fill out the relevant part of the account application. To add a systematic withdrawal plan to an existing account, contact your financial intermediary or the transfer agent.
Dollar Cost Averaging Programs (DCA) let you set up monthly or quarterly exchanges from a Fund to the same class of shares of another Hartford mutual fund. To establish, complete the appropriate parts of your account application or the “Mutual Fund Dollar Cost Averaging Form.” Be sure that the amount is for $50 or more and that the accounts involved have identical registrations.
Automatic Dividend Diversification (ADD) lets you automatically reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions paid by a Fund into the same class of another Hartford mutual fund. To establish, fill out the relevant portion of the account application and be sure that the accounts involved have identical registrations.
Systematic Exchange lets you automatically transfer money from a share class of a Fund to the same share of another Hartford mutual fund.
Hartford Funds may stop your AIP, SWP, DCA Program or Systematic Exchange if we are unable to obtain an accurate address for your account.
Uncashed Checks Issued on Your Account
Each Fund reserves the right to reinvest any amounts (e.g., dividends, distributions or redemption proceeds) that you have elected to receive by check should your check remain uncashed for more than 180 days. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed checks. Your check will be reinvested in your account at the NAV on the day of the reinvestment. When reinvested, those amounts are subject to the risk of loss like any Fund investment. If you elect to receive distributions in cash and a check remains uncashed for more than 180 days, your cash election may be changed automatically to reinvest and your future dividend and capital gains distributions will be reinvested in the Fund at the NAV as of the date of payment of the distribution. This provision may not apply to certain retirement or qualified accounts, accounts with a non-U.S. address or closed accounts. Your participation in a systematic withdrawal program may be terminated if a check remains uncashed.
RETIREMENT PLANS AND CERTAIN OTHER ACCOUNTS
The Funds are available through a range of retirement plans, including traditional, Roth, SIMPLE and SEPs IRAs and 401(k) plans. Minimum investment amounts may apply. To find out more, call 1-888-843-7824.
If you open a retirement account (including traditional, Roth, SIMPLE, or SEPs IRAs, and 403(b) Accounts) or Coverdell Education Savings Account (“Coverdell Account”) through Hartford Funds, UMB Bank, n.a. will serve as the custodian of that account. Retirement accounts and Coverdell Accounts are charged an annual maintenance fee (up to $25) that is paid to UMB Bank, n.a., HASCO and/or certain other Fund service providers. These fees are in addition to the fees and expenses that you pay for investing in the Funds (set forth in each Fund’s fees and expenses table). Please refer to the Custodial Agreement & Disclosure Statement for your retirement account or Coverdell Account for information on applicable annual maintenance fees.
104

Distribution Arrangements
Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement approved by the applicable Board of Directors. Shares of the Funds are continuously offered and sold by selected broker-dealers pursuant to selling agreements with the Distributor, and such broker-dealers may in turn designate and authorize other financial intermediaries to offer and sell Fund shares. Except as discussed below, the Distributor (and not the Funds) bears the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes, as well as any other advertising or sales literature. The Distributor is not obligated to sell any specific amount of Fund shares.
Distribution Plans –  Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R4 Shares
The applicable Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a separate distribution plan (each, a “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R4 shares. Under a Plan, Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R4 shares of a Fund, as applicable, bear distribution and/or service fees paid to the Distributor, some or all of which may be paid to select broker-dealers and certain other financial intermediaries. Total compensation under a Plan may not exceed the maximum cap imposed by FINRA with respect to asset-based sales charges. Distribution fees paid to the Distributor may be spent on any activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the respective Fund’s shares. Under a Plan, each Fund pays the Distributor the entire fee, regardless of the Distributor’s expenditures. Even if the Distributor’s actual expenditures exceed the fee payable to the Distributor at any given time, a Fund will not be obligated to pay more than that fee. If the Distributor’s actual expenditures are less than the fee payable to the Distributor at any given time, the Distributor may realize a profit from the arrangement.
Class A Plan –  Pursuant to the Class A Plan, a Fund may pay the Distributor 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.
Class C Plan –  Pursuant to the Class C Plan, a Fund may pay the Distributor 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 the Distributor will receive all contingent deferred sales charges attributable to Class C shares.
Class R3 Plan –  Pursuant to the Class R3 Plan, a Fund may pay the Distributor 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.
Class R4 Plan –  Pursuant to the Class R4 Plan, a Fund may pay the Distributor 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.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Other Entities
The Investment Manager, Distributor and/or their affiliates and the Hartford mutual funds make a variety of payments to broker-dealers and financial institutions (“Financial Intermediaries”) that sell the shares of the Hartford mutual funds, and/or Financial Intermediaries and other intermediaries that provide services (“Servicing Intermediaries”) to the Hartford mutual funds. These payments may vary from one product to another. For this reason, (1) if your Financial Intermediary receives greater payments with respect to the Hartford mutual funds than it receives with respect to other products, it may be more inclined to sell you shares of a Hartford mutual fund rather than another product and/or (2) if your Servicing Intermediary (which may also be your Financial Intermediary) receives greater payments with respect to the Hartford mutual funds, such payments may create an incentive for the Servicing Intermediary to favor the Hartford mutual funds rather than other fund companies or investment products for which it may receive a lower payment. You may contact your Financial Intermediary or Servicing Intermediary if you want additional information regarding any Additional Payments or Servicing Payments it receives.
Payments Made From Fund Assets.
Commissions and Rule 12b-1 Payments. The Distributor and/or its affiliates pay sales commissions and Rule 12b-1 fees to Financial Intermediaries out of assets that the Distributor and/or its affiliates receive from the Hartford mutual funds. The Funds’ SAI includes information regarding these commission and Rule 12b-1 payments by share class.
105

Administrative Fees to Servicing Intermediaries. The Distributor and/or its affiliates make payments to Servicing Intermediaries that provide sub-accounting, administrative and/or shareholder processing services to the Hartford mutual funds (“Administrative Fees”). Such payments may be made out of 12b-1 and/or transfer agent fees that the Distributor and/or its affiliates receive from the Hartford mutual funds. Depending upon the particular share class and/or contractual arrangement with a Servicing Intermediary, these payments may be calculated based on average net assets of the Hartford mutual funds that are serviced by the Servicing Intermediary, or on a per account basis. The Funds’ SAI includes information regarding Fund expenses and distribution arrangements.
Payments Made by the Investment Manager and/or its Affiliates. As explained in more detail below under the sections entitled “Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries” and “Servicing Payments to Servicing Intermediaries,” the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates make payments out of their own assets and not as an expense to or out of the assets of the Funds to (1) Financial Intermediaries to encourage the sale of Hartford mutual funds’ shares (“Additional Payments”) and/or (2) Servicing Intermediaries as additional compensation for sub-accounting, administrative and/or shareholder processing services (“Servicing Payments”).
Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries. The amount of any Additional Payments made by the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates to a Financial Intermediary is generally based on one or more of the following criteria: (i) the average net assets of the Hartford mutual funds that are attributed to that Financial Intermediary; (ii) the amount of Hartford mutual fund shares sold through that Financial Intermediary; and (iii) the mix of equity and fixed income funds sold through or attributed to that Financial Intermediary. The annual amount of Additional Payments made to any one Financial Intermediary is normally not expected to exceed 0.20% of the average net assets of the Hartford mutual funds that are attributed to that Financial Intermediary. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2021, the Investment Manager and its affiliates incurred approximately $68.7 million in total Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries.
Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries, including those listed in the Funds’ SAI, may be used for various purposes and take various forms, including but not limited to:
(1)
Payments for putting the Hartford mutual funds on a Financial Intermediary’s list of mutual funds available for purchase by its customers;
(2)
Payments for including the Hartford mutual funds within a group that receives special marketing focus or placing the Hartford Funds on a “preferred list”;
(3)
“Due diligence” payments for a Financial Intermediary’s examination of Hartford mutual funds and payments for providing extra employee training and information relating to Hartford Funds;
(4)
“Marketing support fees” for providing assistance in promoting the sale of Hartford mutual fund shares;
(5)
Sponsorships of sales contests and promotions where participants receive prizes such as travel awards, merchandise, cash or recognition;
(6)
Provision by a Financial Intermediary of sales-related data to the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates;
(7)
Provision of educational programs, including information and related support materials;
(8)
Provision of computer hardware and software; and
(9)
Occasional meals and entertainment, tickets to sporting events, nominal gifts and travel and lodging (subject to applicable rules and regulations).
With respect to Class R6 and F shares, neither the Distributor nor any of its affiliates pay any commission payments, account servicing fees, record keeping fees, 12b-1 fees, sub-transfer agent fees, administration fees or other asset-based or sales-based fees to any financial intermediary. With respect to Class Y shares, neither the Distributor nor any affiliates of the Distributor will enter into any new arrangement after May 11, 2018 to make any asset-based or sales-based payment to any financial intermediary that is not directly related to account servicing, record keeping, 12b-1 fees, sub-transfer agency, administration or similar services. Although with respect to certain classes the Distributor and its affiliates do not pay any commission payments, account servicing fees, record keeping fees, 12b-1 fees, sub-transfer agent fees, administration fees or other asset-based or sales-based fees to any financial intermediary, in certain instances, the Distributor and/or its affiliates may make payments to Financial Intermediaries that are not based on assets or sales of any particular Fund or share class (e.g. flat fee payments for platform participation, conference sponsorship, data packages, etc.), or that are in connection with the maintenance of each Fund share class within the Financial Intermediary’s platform.

Servicing Payments to Servicing Intermediaries. The Investment Manager, HASCO and/or their affiliates pay Servicing Payments to Servicing Intermediaries. As noted above under the section entitled “Payments Made From Fund Assets,” these Servicing Payments are separate from, and in addition to, any Administrative Fees paid by the Distributor and/or its affiliates from payments received from the Hartford mutual funds. The amount of the Servicing Payments is generally based on average net assets of the Hartford mutual funds that are serviced by a Servicing Intermediary. With certain limited exceptions, the annual amount of Servicing Payments made to any specific Servicing Intermediary is not expected to exceed 0.25% of the average net assets of the Hartford mutual funds that are serviced by that Servicing Intermediary.

Fund Distributions and Tax Matters
Dividends and Distributions
Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders at least once a year. Capital gains of each Fund are normally declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income, if any, of each Fund are normally declared and paid as follows:
Fund
Declaration and payment
frequency of net investment
income
Capital Appreciation Fund
Annually
Core Equity Fund
Annually
Dividend and Growth Fund
Quarterly
Equity Income Fund
Quarterly
Growth Opportunities Fund

Healthcare Fund
Annually
MidCap Fund
Annually
MidCap Value Fund
Annually
Quality Value Fund
Annually
Small Cap Growth Fund
Annually
Small Cap Value Fund
Annually
Small Company Fund
Annually
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company’s Board of Directors has delegated authority to the Funds’ Treasurer to reduce the frequency with which dividends are declared and paid and to declare and make payments of long-term capital gains as permitted or required by law or in order to avoid tax penalties. Further, each Fund reserves the right to change its dividend distribution policy at the discretion of its Board of Directors. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, all dividends and distributions received from a Fund are automatically reinvested in additional full or fractional shares of that Fund.
Unless your investment is in a tax-deferred account, you may want to avoid buying shares shortly before a Fund pays a dividend. The reason? If you buy shares when a Fund has realized but not yet distributed taxable income or capital gains, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable dividend. Before investing you may want to consult your tax advisor.
If you elect to receive dividends in cash, you will only receive a check if the dividend amount exceeds $10. If the dividend is $10 or less, the amount will automatically be reinvested in the Fund. If you would like to receive cash dividends, regardless of the amount, you can establish an electronic funds transfer to your bank. For assistance in establishing electronic funds transfer transactions, please call 1-888-843-7824.
Taxability of Dividends
Unless your shares are held in a tax-advantaged account, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund, whether reinvested or taken as cash, are generally considered taxable. Distributions from a Fund’s long-term capital gains are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you held your shares. Distributions from short-term capital gains and from ordinary income (other than certain qualified dividend income) are generally taxable as ordinary income.
If a Fund’s distributions exceed its taxable income and capital gains realized during a taxable year, all or a portion of the distributions made in the same taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder’s cost basis in a Fund and result in a higher reported capital gain or lower reported capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold. Any return of capital in excess of your basis, however, is taxable as a capital gain.
A portion of dividends from ordinary income may qualify for the dividends-received deduction for corporations. Distributions from certain qualified dividend income generally are taxable to individuals at the same rates that apply to long-term capital gains, if certain holding period and other requirements are met. The maximum individual rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” and long-term capital gains is currently generally either 15% or 20%,
108

depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts. The amount of a Fund’s distributions that would otherwise qualify for this favorable tax treatment may be reduced as a result of such Fund’s securities lending activities, investment in derivatives or high portfolio turnover rate.
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including taxable distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions of Fund shares) of individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s gross income, with certain adjustments, exceeds certain threshold amounts.
Some dividends paid in January may be taxable as if they had been paid the previous December.
Dividends and capital gains distributed by each Fund to tax-deferred retirement plan accounts are not taxable currently.
Taxability of Transactions
Unless your shares are held in a tax-advantaged account, any time you sell or exchange shares, it is considered a taxable event for you. You may have a capital gain or a loss on the transaction that will be long-term or short-term, depending upon how long you held your shares. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transactions. Consult your tax advisor if you sell shares held for less than six months at a loss after receiving a long-term capital gain distribution from a Fund.
As described above, a shareholder may be able to convert one class of shares for another class of shares of the same Fund. In general, conversions of one share class for a different share class of the same Fund should not result in the realization by the investor of a taxable capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that the transaction is undertaken and processed, with respect to any shareholder, as a direct conversion transaction. If the conversion results in a CDSC or sales charge, Fund shares may be redeemed to pay the charge, and that redemption would be taxable. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of an intra-fund conversion.
Conversions of one class of shares for another class of shares of the same Fund within a tax-deferred retirement plan account will not result in a capital gain or loss for federal or state income tax purposes. With limited exceptions, distributions from a retirement plan account are taxable as ordinary income.
Additional Information
A Fund may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax (currently, at the rate of 24%) of all taxable distributions payable to you if you fail to provide the Fund with your correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications, or if you have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that you are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability. IRS Regulations require each Fund to report to the IRS and furnish to shareholders the cost basis information and holding period for Fund shares purchased on or after January 1, 2012, and sold on or after that date. Each Fund will permit shareholders to elect from among several cost basis methods accepted by the IRS, including average cost. In the absence of an election by a shareholder, each Fund will use the average cost method with respect to that shareholder. To elect a cost basis method other than the default method average cost, your request must be received in writing by completing the appropriate part of your account application, by completing “Cost Basis Method Election for Non-Qualified Mutual Fund Accounts” or submitted through our website at hartfordfunds.com. Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisors to determine the best cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about how the new cost basis reporting rules apply to them.
If more than 50% of the value of a Fund’s total assets at the close of any taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations, or if at least 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year is represented by interests in other regulated investment companies, the Fund will be eligible to file an election with the IRS that would generally enable its shareholders to benefit from any foreign tax credit or deduction available for any foreign taxes the Fund pays. Pursuant to this election (if made), a shareholder will be required to include in gross income (in addition to dividends actually received) its pro rata share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund, and may be entitled either to deduct its pro rata share of the foreign taxes in computing its taxable income or to use the amount as a foreign tax credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain holding period and other requirements). The consequences of such an election are discussed in more detail in the SAI.
Each Fund will generally be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the rate of 30% of all taxable distributions to you if you are a non-resident alien or foreign entity and there is no applicable tax treaty or if you are claiming reduced withholding under a tax treaty and you have not properly completed and signed the appropriate IRS Form W-8. You
109

also must complete and send to us the appropriate IRS Form W-8 to certify your foreign status. Provided that the appropriate IRS Form W-8 is properly completed, long-term capital gains distributions and proceeds of sales are not subject to withholding for foreign shareholders.
Each Fund is required to withhold U.S. tax (at a 30% rate) on payments of taxable dividends made to certain non-U.S. entities that fail to comply (or be deemed compliant) with extensive new reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. Shareholders may be requested to provide additional information to a Fund to enable the Fund to determine whether withholding is required.
Distributions from each Fund may also be subject to state, local and foreign taxes. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the particular tax consequences of an investment in a Fund.
This section summarizes some of the consequences under current Federal tax law of an investment in each Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. Consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Funds under all applicable tax laws.

Financial Highlights
The financial highlights table for each Fund is intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for the past five years, or if shorter, the period of the Fund’s operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table for each Fund represent the rate that an investor would have earned, or lost, on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020 has been derived from the financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with each Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights, is included in the annual report to shareholders, which is available upon request. The information for the fiscal years prior to October 31, 2020 was audited by another independent registered public accounting firm. Footnotes are located on the last page of these financial highlights.

Appendix A
Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts
The availability of certain initial and contingent deferred sales charge waivers and discounts may depend on the particular financial intermediary or type of account through which you purchase or hold Fund shares. Financial intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of these waivers and discounts.

Please contact your financial intermediary for more information.

Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”)
The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds (if any) and any assets held in group retirement plans) of the Hartford mutual fund family and Hartford SMART529 plan held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (“LOI”)
Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if the LOI is not met.
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs for such SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:
Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones’ policies and procedures.
