Important Information

All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the funds will achieve their stated objectives. The net asset value (NAV) of the funds’ shares may fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the funds’ holdings, as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange. The funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Fixed Income risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall; these risks are currently heightened because interest rates are at, or near, historical lows. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities’ risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. In certain instances, unlike other ETFs, the funds may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than in-kind, which may make the funds less tax-efficient and incur more fees than a more conventional ETF. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply.

Investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus (if available), which can be obtained by visiting hartfordfunds.com. Please read it carefully before investing.
