Hartford Disciplined US Equity Index (LHDUSX)

Overview

Hartford Disciplined US Equity Index is designed to capture the performance potential of the US large-cap equities by seeking balanced and consistent exposures across multiple risk factors at lower levels of volatility, while controlling for active risk compared to a similar broad market capitalization weighted index.

Description of Methodology

The index methodology seeks to enhance return potential through multifactor security selection while applying a comprehensive risk framework to overall index construction. The rules-based, proprietary methodology utilizes an optimization process to target balanced and consistent exposures across value, momentum and quality factors while controlling for total active risk and a reduced volatility level relative to the capitalization-weighted universe.
