      Domestic Equity fund

      Hartford Small Company Fund   
      Share Class - F (IHSFX)

      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.

      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.

      SI = Since Inception. Fund Inception: 07/22/1996

      Share Class Inception: 2/28/17.
      Class F-shares performance prior to 2/28/17 reflects Class I-shares performance and operating expenses, and, prior to 8/31/06 the performance and operating expenses of Class A-shares (excluding sales charges). Performance for Class F-shares prior to its inception date would have differed if Class F- operating expenses had been reflected. Since Inception (SI) performance is calculated from 7/22/96.

      The Fund’s Class F shares have not been in operation for 10 years. Therefore, the Calendar Year Returns (F Shares) chart includes performance and operating expenses of another class. For more information, see the prospectus.

      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. • Small-cap securities can have greater risks, including liquidity risk, and volatility than large-cap securities. • Growth investing style may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles. • Foreign investments 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. • The Fund's investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur.
