      Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund   
      Share Class - I (HSLIX)

      On September 13, 2024, the Fund’s Class C shares performed a reverse stock split. The Fund’s Class C reverse stock split reduced the number of outstanding shares and proportionately increased the net asset value (“NAV”) per share with respect to only Class C shares of the Fund. However, the reverse stock split did not impact a shareholder’s total dollar value of an investment in Class C shares of the Fund.
