Helping you expand and deepen your client relationships through education, practice efficiency, and outreach events

Helping you expand and deepen your client relationships through education, practice efficiency, and outreach events

Financial professionals who remain focused solely on providing financial guidance falling short of clients' expectations, because providing financial guidance is now the bare minimum. For financial professionals who want to differentiate their practice by adapting to the changing needs and expectations of clients—in other words, to focus on the human side of investing—we can help.

Hartford Funds' Applied Insights team translates the expertise of the psychologists, physiologists, professors, and practice-management experts we partner with into practical, actionable ideas and tools to make sense of a rapidly evolving market and demographic landscape.

“Just as the wealth and investment management business has largely become commoditized in the eyes of clients, so too has the fund manager space in the eyes of financial professionals. I really appreciate how Hartford Funds creatively adds value to the financial professional relationship while genuinely differentiating your role as a partner.”

—Managing Partner, $230M RIA Firm
