      Hartford Longevity Economy ETF   
      Ticker - HLGE

      Objective

      The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the total return performance of an Index, which is designed to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing in companies that comprise industries that reflect certain themes that are expected to benefit from the growth of the aging population and the substantial buying power it represents.

      Overview

      This Fund is designed to provide exposure to US markets that take advantage of the growing importance of the buying power of the aging global population.


      Our systematic, rules-based index methodology is designed to simultaneously address risks while seeking exposures to return-enhancing factors:

      Set Risk PArameters

      Seek to improve diversification of top-down exposure to higher conviction sub-industries

      Select Securities

      Seek companies with a favorable combination of low valuation (50%), high momentum (30%), and high quality (20%) investment factors

      Reconstitute and Rebalance

      Reapply the investment process twice a year in March and September to ensure the portfolio stays true to the rules-based index methodology

      Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

      Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses.

      ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, not net asset value (NAV). Total returns are calculated using the daily 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns an investor would receive if they traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions apply and will reduce returns.

      Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • The Fund is not actively managed but rather attempts to track the performance of an index. The Fund's returns may diverge from that of the index. • The Fund's focus on securities of issuers that are expected to benefit from providing goods and services that are needed by or attractive to the world's aging populations may affect the Fund's exposure to certain industries or types of investments. Certain investments in companies focused on longevity and aging solutions may be affected by government regulations or other factors. • Investments focused in an industry or group of industries may increase volatility and risk.
      Transactions in ETF shares will result in brokerage commissions and will generate tax consequences. All regulated investment companies are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders.
      Premium/discount reflects the relationship between an ETF's market price and its net asset value (NAV). Because ETFs are traded on an exchange, their market prices are in part driven by supply and demand dynamics. The ETF's market price may be above its NAV (reflecting a premium) or below its NAV (reflecting a discount).
