Objective
Seeks growth of capital.
Overview
A fund that seeks to buy large-cap U.S. stocks with improving quality trends, business momentum, and attractive relative valuations.
Focusing on Fundamentals
The Hartford Core Equity Fund’s portfolio management team believes that changes in a company’s fundamentals are often not reflected in its stock price and that markets frequently underestimate the persistence of a company’s fundamentals.
Relying on Experience and Expertise
The Fund’s portfolio management team relies on their extensive investment experience with large-cap companies and the deep, fundamental research from sub-adviser Wellington Management to create a portfolio that focuses on U.S. companies with improving quality, business momentum, and attractive valuations.
A Patient, Long-Term Approach
Many portfolio managers seek a catalyst based on what may happen to a company over the next six to 12 months. By contrast, the Fund focuses on what a company may look like over the next three to five years. The end result is a portfolio that has between 60 and 90 holdings (versus 500 holdings in its benchmark).
The portfolio managers are supported by the full resources of Wellington.
