(1)

Investments of $1 million or more will not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge.

(2)

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: 1.19% (Class A), 1.94% (Class C), 0.89% (Class I), 1.41% (Class R3), 1.11% (Class R4), 0.81% (Class R5), 0.69% (Class R6), 0.79% (Class Y), and 0.69% (Class F). This contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 29, 2024 unless the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, 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.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Share Classes	Year 1	Year 3	Year 5	Year 10
A	$665	$911	$1,177	$1,934
C	$297	$622	$1,072	$2,322
I	$91	$295	$515	$1,150
R3	$144	$472	$823	$1,813
R4	$113	$378	$664	$1,478
R5	$83	$284	$503	$1,132
R6	$70	$249	$442	$1,001
Y	$81	$280	$497	$1,119
F	$70	$247	$438	$991

If you did not redeem your shares:

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, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 71% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, including non-dollar securities and securities of emerging market issuers. The Fund may invest in common and preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants of companies of any market capitalization. The Fund focuses its investments on equity securities and equity related investments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of issuers that seek opportunities to address or benefit from climate change, which include but are not limited to companies classified as promoting clean and/or efficient energy, sustainable transportation, water and/or resource management, companies exhibiting low-carbon leadership and businesses that service such companies. The Fund employs a “multi-manager” approach whereby portions of the Fund’s assets are allocated among sub-advisers. Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) is responsible for the management of the Fund and supervision of the Fund’s sub-advisers: Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), and Schroders, comprised of Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”) and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.,” together with SIMNA, “Schroders”). Each sub-adviser manages its segment of the Fund’s assets to correspond with its distinct investment style and strategy, as described below, in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and restrictions. The Investment Manager may allocate assets from or towards each sub-adviser from time to time and may reallocate assets between the sub-advisers. Wellington Management and Schroders act independently of each other and each uses its own methodology for selecting investments. The Fund generally does not invest in major fossil fuel companies.

Wellington Management: For its portion of the Fund, Wellington Management uses fundamental research, bottom-up approach and analysis to identify companies it believes represent attractive investments and also address climate challenges and/or seek to improve the efficiency of resource consumption. In doing so, Wellington Management invests the Fund’s assets in companies engaged in climate mitigation or adaptation solutions across the following categories, which could change over time: low carbon electricity, energy efficiency, low carbon transportation, water and resource management, and/or climate resilient infrastructure, or otherwise involved in seeking to address climate mitigation or adaptation. Companies offering climate mitigation or adaptation solutions are not necessarily low carbon emitters. Although Wellington Management may invest the Fund’s assets across different sectors and countries, including emerging market issuers, and has no limit on the amount it may invest in any single sector or country, it generally can be expected to emphasize investments in the utilities and industrial sectors, as these sectors tend to include companies that address climate mitigation and adaptation and/or seek to improve the efficiency of resource consumption. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers of any market capitalization, including mid- capitalization and small-capitalization securities. In addition to its focus on climate stewardship, Wellington Management also integrates the evaluation of environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) characteristics (where available for a company) into its fundamental analysis. ESG characteristics are one of several factors that contribute to Wellington Management’s overall evaluation of the risk and return potential of a company.

Schroders: For its portion of the Fund, Schroders seeks to exploit opportunities in the securities of companies that it believes have already recognized threats posed by climate change and are embracing these challenges ahead of their peers, companies that form part of the solution to problems arising from climate change or companies that seek to benefit from efforts to accommodate or limit the impact of global climate change. These companies can typically be classified as contributing to one or more themes related to climate change, including clean energy, energy efficiency, environmental resources, sustainable transportation, and low carbon leaders. Schroders currently considers a company to be a low carbon leader if such company has a low carbon cost structure relative to peers or if such company’s products/services/corporate cultures promote new, low carbon business models. Schroders relies on a fundamental, research-driven, bottom-up approach to identify issuers it believes will benefit from efforts to accommodate or limit the impact of global climate change and have the potential for capital growth. Schroders considers factors such as a company’s potential for above average earnings growth, a security’s attractive relative valuation, and whether a company has proprietary advantages. In addition, Schroders integrates ESG characteristics (where available for an issuer) into their investment process. ESG characteristics are one of several factors that contribute to Schroders overall evaluation of the risk and return potential of an investment. Although Schroders may invest the Fund’s assets across different sectors and countries, including emerging markets, and has no limit on the amount it may invest in any single sector or country, it generally can be expected to emphasize investments in the industrial sector, as this sector tends to include companies that are beneficiaries of efforts to mitigate or adapt to the impact of climate change.

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.

Multi-Manager Risk – The Fund’s performance depends on the ability of the Investment Manager in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the sub-advisers. The sub-advisers’ investment styles may not be complementary. Wellington Management and Schroders make investment decisions independently of one another, and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that one sub-adviser may purchase an investment for the Fund at the same time that the other sub-adviser sells the same investment, resulting in higher expenses without accomplishing any net investment result; or that the sub-advisers purchase the same investment at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher expenses. Moreover, the Fund’s multi-manager approach may result in the Fund investing a significant percentage of its assets in certain types of investments, which could be beneficial or detrimental to the Fund’s performance depending on the performance of those investments and the overall market environment.

Active Investment Management Risk – The risk that, if the sub-advisers’ investment strategies do not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. Although each sub-adviser considers several factors when making investment decisions, the sub-adviser may not evaluate every factor prior to investing in a company or issuer, and the sub-adviser may determine that certain factors are more significant than others.

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.

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.

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.

Climate Change Investment Focus Risk – The Fund’s focus on securities of issuers that seek opportunities to address or benefit from climate change may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain sectors or types of investments. The Fund’s relative investment performance may also be impacted depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor with the market. Certain investments may be dependent on U.S. and foreign government policies, including tax incentives and subsidies, as well as on political support for certain environmental initiatives and developments affecting companies focused on sustainable energy and climate change solutions generally. In addition, under certain market conditions, the Fund may underperform funds that invest in a broader array of investments. The Fund’s exclusion of investments in companies with significant fossil fuel exposure, in particular, may adversely affect the Fund’s relative performance at times when such investments are performing well.

Sector Risk – The Fund’s investments may be focused in securities of companies in the utilities and industrials sectors of the securities markets, which may cause the Fund’s performance to be sensitive to developments affecting those sectors generally or companies in those sectors.

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.

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.

Regional/Country Focus Risk – To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in a particular geographic region or country, the Fund may be subject to increased currency, political, regulatory, economic and other risks associated with that region or country. A natural or other disaster could occur in a geographic region in which the Fund invests, which could affect the economy or particular business operations of companies in the specific geographic region. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments.

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.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies in emerging markets. The sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), uses a quantitative multifactor approach to bottom-up stock selection, using a broad set of individual fundamental stock characteristics to model each stock’s relative attractiveness, with a focus on those factors that have been demonstrated historically to drive market returns. The Fund will typically seek to be broadly diversified across countries, sectors and industries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, although the extent of that representation may vary. The Fund has no limit on the amount of assets that may be invested in an emerging market country, including China. Securities in which the Fund invests are denominated in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies and may trade in both U.S. and foreign markets. The Fund will invest in securities of companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets. 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. The 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. The Fund may invest in opportunities across the market capitalization spectrum. The Fund may trade securities actively.

Depositary Receipts Risk – The 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, including 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. Unsponsored Depositary Receipts are also subject to the risk that 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.

China Investments Risk – China is an emerging market and has demonstrated significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets. Investments in Chinese securities, including certain Hong Kong-listed and U.S.-listed securities, subject the Fund to risks specific to China. These risks include: (i) the risk of more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in liquidity risk, price volatility, greater market execution risk, and valuation risk; (ii) the risk of currency fluctuations, currency non-convertibility, currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; (iii) the risk of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets; (iv) the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; (v) the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; (vi) the risk of limitations on the use of brokers; (vii) the risk of interest rate fluctuations and higher rates of inflation; (viii) the risk that the U.S. government or other governments may sanction Chinese issuers or otherwise prohibit U.S. persons (such as the Fund) from investing in certain Chinese issuers; and (ix) the risk of market volatility caused by any potential regional or territorial conflicts, including military conflicts, or natural or other disasters. Recent developments in relations between the United States and China have heightened concerns of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two countries. It is unclear whether further tariffs and sanctions may be imposed or other escalating actions may be taken in the future, which could negatively impact the Fund. In addition, China is alleged to have participated in state-sponsored cyberattacks against foreign companies and foreign governments. Actual and threatened responses to such activity and strained international relations, including purchasing restrictions, sanctions, tariffs or cyberattacks on the Chinese government or Chinese companies, may impact China’s economy and Chinese issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. As a result of different legal standards, the Fund faces the risk of being unable to enforce its rights with respect to holdings in Chinese securities and the information about the Chinese securities in which the Fund invests may be less reliable or complete. Chinese companies with securities listed on U.S. exchanges may be delisted if they do not meet U.S. accounting standards and auditor oversight requirements, which could significantly decrease the liquidity and value of the securities.

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.

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. Although the sub-adviser considers several factors when making investment decisions, the sub-adviser may not evaluate every factor prior to investing in a company or issuer, and the sub-adviser may determine that certain factors are more significant than others.

Quantitative Investing Risk – The value of securities or other investments selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance. This may be as a result of the 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.

Liquidity Risk – The risk that the market for a particular investment or type of investment is or becomes relatively illiquid, making it difficult for the Fund to sell that investment at an advantageous time or price. Illiquidity may be due to events relating to the issuer of the securities, market events, rising interest rates, economic conditions or investor perceptions. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value and their value may be lower than the market price of comparable liquid securities, which would negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

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.

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.

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.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in equity securities of issuers located throughout the world, including non-dollar securities and securities of emerging market issuers. The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in securities of issuers that Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, determines meet its impact investing criteria.

For purposes of determining which companies meet its impact investing criteria, Wellington Management uses its proprietary research to identify companies that focus their core goods and services in areas that it believes are likely to address major social and environmental challenges. Wellington Management focuses on three broad impact areas: life essentials; human empowerment; and the environment. Wellington Management then targets specific themes that fit within this impact investing criteria. The impact themes align with many of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. As of March 1, 2023, these impact themes include sustainable agriculture and nutrition, health, clean water and sanitation, affordable housing, education and job training, financial inclusion, narrowing the digital divide, safety and security, alternative energy, resource stewardship, and resource efficiency. These areas are subject to change without notice to shareholders. Within this universe of companies, Wellington Management conducts fundamental analysis to identify what it believes to be attractive investments across economic sectors within both developed and emerging countries. As part of its fundamental analysis, Wellington Management may evaluate, for example, a company’s industry structure, asset quality, business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, growth prospects, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of value. In addition to its focus on impact investing, Wellington Management also integrates the evaluation of environmental, social, and/or governance (“ESG”) characteristics (where available for a company) into its fundamental analysis. ESG characteristics are one of several factors that contribute to Wellington Management’s overall evaluation of the risk and return potential of a company.

In addition to identifying investment opportunities through bottom-up fundamental research, Wellington Management generally excludes companies from the Fund’s investment universe that it determines to be primarily engaged in the following businesses: tobacco, firearms, defense, nuclear, coal, petroleum, alcohol, adult entertainment and gambling. Wellington Management believes that investment in such companies does not align with its impact investing criteria. These exclusions may be updated periodically by Wellington Management to, among other things, add or remove exclusion categories.

The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization, including small and mid capitalization securities, located anywhere in the world, including the United States. Although the Fund has no limit on the amount it may invest in any single sector, it generally can be expected to emphasize investments in the health care and information technology sectors, as these sectors tend to include companies that address major social and/or environmental challenges. The Fund may also invest in depositary receipts or other securities that are convertible into securities of foreign issuers and could, at times hold a portion of its assets in cash. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets in foreign securities or derivative instruments or other investments with exposure to

foreign securities of at least three different countries outside the United States. During periods of unfavorable market conditions, the Fund may reduce its exposure to foreign securities, but typically will continue to invest at least 30% of its net assets in foreign securities as described above. Investments are deemed to be “foreign” if: (a) an issuer’s domicile or location of headquarters is in a foreign country; (b) an issuer derives a significant proportion (at least 50%) of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in a foreign country or has at least 50% of its assets situated in a foreign country; (c) the principal trading market for a security is located in a foreign country; or (d) it is a foreign currency.

Equity Risk – The risk that the price of equity or equity related securities may decline due to changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.

Impact Investing Risk – The Fund’s impact investing focus may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain companies or industries and the Fund may forego certain investment opportunities. The Fund’s relative investment performance may also be impacted depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor with the market. The Fund may underperform other funds that do not seek to invest in companies based on impact investing criteria. Certain

companies focused on sustainable energy and climate change solutions may be dependent on, and significantly affected by, developing technologies, short product life cycles, competition from new market entrants, fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of alternative energy sources. These companies also may be dependent on the government policies of U.S. and foreign governments, including tax incentives and subsidies, as well as on political support for certain environmental initiatives. The sub-adviser’s analysis of determining which companies meet its impact investing criteria is a subjective determination. As a result, the Fund may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor. The Fund’s exclusion of certain investments from its investment universe may adversely affect the Fund’s relative performance at times when such investments are performing well.

Sector Risk – The Fund’s investments may be focused in securities of companies in the health care and information technology sectors of the securities markets, which may cause the Fund’s performance to be sensitive to developments affecting those sectors generally or companies in those sectors.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 65% of its net assets in foreign equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities or equity-related securities, including derivative investments that provide exposure to equity securities. The Fund seeks to outperform the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. The Fund diversifies its investments among a broad range of companies in a number of different countries throughout the world, with no limit on the amount of assets that may be invested in each country. Securities in which the Fund invests are denominated in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies and may trade in both U.S. and foreign markets. The Fund may invest in securities of companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization, and may trade securities actively.

The Fund seeks its investment objective by employing a multiple sleeve 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. Each of these sleeves is managed independently of each other. Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), the Fund’s sub-adviser, also may invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in securities that it believes may complement the risk factor biases of the other sleeves (“Risk Managed Sleeve”) and selects such securities using systematic screening methodologies. Wellington Management does not allocate a set percentage to any specific sleeve but instead seeks a flexible and diversified Fund profile. Together the strategies represent a wide range of investment philosophies that are intended to be complementary to each other, companies, industries, and market capitalizations.

Investments are deemed to be “foreign” if: (a) an issuer’s domicile or location of headquarters is in a foreign country; (b) an issuer derives a significant proportion (at least 50%) of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in a foreign country or has at least 50% of its assets situated in a foreign country; (c) the principal trading market for a security is located in a foreign country; or (d) it is a foreign currency.

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.

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.

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.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in companies that Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”) believes are globally competitive and exhibit the potential for growth. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 65% of its net assets in equity securities, including non-dollar securities, of foreign issuers. The Fund diversifies its investments among a number of different sectors and countries throughout the world, with no limit on the amount of assets that may be invested in each sector or country. Although some consideration is given to ensuring sector and country diversification, allocation of investments among sectors and countries is primarily the result of security selection. The Fund may invest in securities of companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets as a percentage of its net assets up to the greater of: (a) 30% or (b) the weight of emerging markets in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Growth Index plus 15%. The Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization, but tends to focus on companies with market capitalizations greater than $3 billion. 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 typically employs a focused portfolio investing style (i.e., a portfolio consisting of a relatively small number of holdings).

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.

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.

Focused Portfolio Risk – Because the Fund may invest in a limited number of companies, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss if any of those securities decline in price.
