What are your fi nancial goals? And what type of investor are you? Maybe

you’re looking for long-term growth to fund your retirement. Or maybe

you’re looking for conservative growth to save for your fi rst home. Or

maybe you’re somewhere in between.

Whatever your goals are, creating and monitoring a portfolio can be

complicated, time consuming, and expensive. But it doesn’t have to be!

Hartford Funds has created a series of six model mutual fund/ETF

portfolios designed by an experienced team of multi-asset experts with

your investing needs in mind. Our portfolios may help you achieve your

fi nancial goals in a simple and diversifi ed way.

Your fi nancial advisor can help you decide which portfolio may be right

for you.

Investing Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Diversifi cation does not ensure a profi t or protect against a loss in a declining market. You may not invest directly in a model portfolio except through certain platforms that may offer models or through implementation by certain fi nancial advisors, both which may require a certain allocation to cash which is not refl ect in the model portfolios.

The Hartford Mutual Fund/ETF Model Portfolios are designed by Hartford Funds Multi-Asset Solutions team—an experienced group that develops and manages multi-asset strategies across a variety of mandates.

Core Fixed Income includes a broad range of fi xed-income securities that may include government, corporate, mortgage-backed, and municipal bond securities as well as short-duration fi xed-income securities.Extended Fixed Income includes fi xed income securities that add potential for increased income relative to core fi xed income, but may also feature greater risk. Examples include high-yield bonds and emerging market debt. Diversifi ers are asset classes that offer diversifying exposure beyond core and extended fi xed-income asset classes. Examples include infl ation-protected securities, real assets, and multi-asset income funds.The Tax-Aware Moderate Model considers the generation of tax-effi cient income as part of its model objective. It seeks to achieve this objective through allocating a portion of its assets to underlying funds that invest in municipal securities. It may also consider the tax effi ciency of exchange-traded funds relative to mutual funds, as well as expected mutual fund turnover, in its allocations. The model may not meet its tax-effi cient objective. Tax effi ciency is an attempt to minimize tax liability when given many different fi nancial decisions. A fi nancial decision is said to be tax effi cient if the tax outcome is lower than an alternative fi nancial structure that achieves the same end.

Content contained herein is not intended to be impartial or fi duciary advice or tax advice. The models are provided “as is” without any warranty of any kind. Information provided herein may not be indicative of an investor’s actual experience. You may not invest directly in a model portfolio except through certain platforms that may off er our models or through implementation by certain fi nancial advisors, both which may require a certain allocation to cash which is not refl ected in the model portfolios. The fi nancial advisor is solely responsible for making investment recommendations or decisions with respect to its clients without input from Hartford Funds. The models are not funds.

Hartford Funds may update the underlying fund allocations in the models quarterly. Hartford Funds and its affi liates receive fees for managing, distributing and/or servicing its investments.

The primary objective of Hartford Funds Model Portfolios is to illustrate how a well-diversifi ed portfolio of Hartford Funds investment company products might be constructed based on a particular asset allocation mix. ETFs are not mutual funds. Unlike traditional open-ended mutual funds, ETF shares are bought and sold in the secondary market through broker-dealers. ETFs trade on major stock exchanges and their prices will fl uctuate throughout the day. Some funds are actively managed and do not seek to replicate the performance of a specifi ed index. The models may not achieve their objectives. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The models are subject to the risks of the underlying mutual funds and ETFs, including: • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fl uctuations and adverse political and economic developments. These risks may be greater for investments in emerging markets. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. • Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.
