ETFs are not mutual funds. Unlike traditional open-ended mutual funds, ETF shares are bought and sold in the secondary market through a stockbroker. ETFs trade on major stock exchanges and their prices will fluctuate throughout the day. Both ETFs and mutual funds are subject to risk and volatility.

Important Risks for Hartford Dynamic Bond ETF: The Fund is new and has limited operating history. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices of the Fund’s underlying holdings will fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the Fund’s net asset value, intraday value of the Fund’s holdings, and the supply and demand for shares. ● The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. ● Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, event, inflation and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. ● The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to achieve its objective. As a result, the Fund is expected to have high portfolio turnover, which will increase its transaction costs and could increase an investor’s tax liability. ● Investments in high-yield ("junk") bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. ● Foreign investments, including foreign government debt, may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets. ● Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, valuation, and counterparty risk. ● Restricted securities may be more difficult to sell and price than other securities. ● 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. ● The Fund may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than in-kind, which may make the Fund less tax-efficient and incur more fees than an ETF that primarily or wholly effects creations and redemptions in-kind.

*Analyst-Driven %: 100. Data Coverage %: 100. The Morningstar Medalist RatingTM is the summary expression of Morningstar’s forward-looking analysis using a rating scale of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. The Medalist Ratings indicate which funds Morningstar believes are likely to outperform a relevant index or peer group average on a risk-adjusted basis over time. Funds are evaluated on three key pillars (People, Parent, and Process) which, when coupled with a fee assessment, forms the basis for the Medalist Rating they’re assigned. Pillar ratings (Low, Below Average, Average, Above Average, and High) may be evaluated via an analyst’s qualitative assessment (Analyst-Driven %) or using algorithmic techniques (Data Coverage %). Funds are sorted by their expected performance into rating groups defined by their Morningstar Category and their active or passive status. When analysts directly cover a fund, the rating is monitored and reevaluated at least every 14 months. When a fund is covered either indirectly by analysts or by algorithm, the rating is assigned monthly. For more detailed information, including their methodology, please go to global.morningstar.com/managerdisclosures/. Morningstar Medalist Ratings are not statements of fact, nor are they credit or risk ratings. They (i) should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a fund, (ii) involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what was expected, (iii) are not guaranteed to be based on complete or accurate assumptions or models when determined algorithmically, (iv) involve the risk that the return target will not be met due to such things as unforeseen changes in management, technology, economic development, interest rate development, operating and/or material costs, competitive pressure, supervisory law, exchange rate, tax rates, exchange rate changes, and/or changes in political and social conditions, and (v) should not be considered an offer or solicitation to buy or sell a fund. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the Morningstar Medalist Rating can mean that the rating is subsequently no longer accurate. ©2025 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved.
