HARTFORD MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND

SUMMARY SECTION

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income that is generally exempt from federal income taxes, and long-term total return.

YOUR EXPENSES. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Hartford Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the “Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 26 of the Fund’s statutory prospectus and the “Purchase and Redemption of Shares” section beginning on page 55 of the Fund’s statement of additional information.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (2)

(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

	A		C		I

Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement(3)	0.69	%	1.44	%	0.44	%

(1) For investments over $1 million, a 1.00% maximum deferred sales charge may apply.

(2) Fees and expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year.

(3) Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain total annual fund operating expenses as follows: 0.69% (Class A), 1.44% (Class C) and 0.44% (Class I). In addition, Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), the Fund’s transfer agent, has contractually agreed to reimburse any portion of the transfer agency fees over 0.30% of the average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. Each contractual arrangement will remain

in effect until February 28, 2017, and shall renew automatically for one-year terms thereafter unless the Investment Manager or HASCO, respectively, provides written notice of termination prior to the start of the next term or upon approval of the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.

EXAMPLE. The examples below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that:

· Your investment has a 5% return each year

· The Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the examples reflect the expense limitation arrangements for only the first year)

· You reinvest all dividends and distributions

· You pay any deferred sales charge due for the applicable period.

Your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions, for every $10,000 invested, you would pay the following expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Share Classes	Year 1		Year 3
A	$	517	$	675
C	$	247	$	470
I	$	45	$	156

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Share Classes	Year 1		Year 3
A	$	517	$	675
C	$	147	$	470
I	$	45	$	156

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the examples, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate for the most recent fiscal year is not available.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in investment grade municipal securities and non-investment grade municipal securities (known as “junk bonds”) that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), considers to be attractive from a yield perspective while considering long-term total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that pay interest exempt from federal income tax, and the Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in non-investment grade municipal securities. The Fund may invest in securities that produce income subject to income tax, including the Alternative Minimum Tax. The Fund may also invest in variable rate bonds known as “inverse floaters” that pay interest at rates that bear an inverse relationship to changes in short-term market

interest rates. The Fund will generally hold a diversified portfolio of investments across states and sectors, although the Fund is not required to invest in all states and sectors at all times.

The Fund normally will maintain a dollar weighted average duration equivalent to that of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, plus or minus three years. (Historically, the average duration of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index is 6.5 years.) Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s price to changes in interest rates. The Fund’s average duration measure incorporates a bond’s yield, coupon, final maturity, and the effect of derivatives that may be used to manage the Fund’s interest rate risk.

MAIN RISKS. The primary risks of investing in the Fund are described below. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money as a result of your investment. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. For more information regarding risks and investment matters please see “Additional Information Regarding Risks and Investment Strategies” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

Market Risk — Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Securities may decline in value due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies or to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets.

Municipal Securities Risk - Municipal securities risks include the possibility that the issuer may be unable to pay interest or repay principal on a timely basis or at all, the relative lack of information about certain issuers of municipal securities, and the possibility of future legislative changes which could affect the market for and value of municipal securities. In addition, state or local political or economic conditions and developments can adversely affect the securities issued by state and local governments. The value of the municipal securities owned by the Fund also may be adversely affected by future changes in federal or state income tax laws, including tax rate reductions or the determination that municipal securities are subject to taxation.

Interest Rate Risk - The risk that your investment may go down in value when interest rates rise, because when interest rates rise, the prices of bonds and fixed rate loans fall. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policies and inflation rates. Generally, the longer the maturity of a bond or fixed rate loan, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Falling interest rates also create the potential for a decline in the Fund’s income. These risks are greater during periods of rising inflation. Volatility in interest rates and in fixed income markets may increase the risk that the Fund’s investment in fixed income securities will go down in value.

Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security or other instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due.

Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation.

Call Risk - Call risk is the risk that an issuer, especially during a period of falling interest rates, may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates.

Junk Bonds Risk - Investments rated below investment grade (also referred to as “junk bonds”) are considered to be speculative and are subject to heightened credit risk, which may make the Fund more sensitive to adverse developments in the U.S. and abroad. Lower rated debt securities generally involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness than higher rated debt securities. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than higher quality securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty. There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value or sell.

Investment Strategy Risk - The risk that, if the sub-adviser’s investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

The Fund is subject to certain other risks, which are described elsewhere in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

PAST PERFORMANCE. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, no performance history has been provided.

TAX INFORMATION. The Fund’s distributions of interest on municipal bonds generally are not subject to federal income tax; however the Fund may distribute taxable dividends, including distributions of short-term capital gains, and long-term capital gains. In addition, interest on certain bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. To the extent that the Fund’s distributions are derived from interest on bonds that are not exempt from applicable state and local taxes, such distributions will be subject to such state and local taxes.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES. If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial advisor), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial advisor to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING RISKS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income that is generally exempt from federal income taxes, and long-term total return.

Non-investment grade municipal securities are securities issued by state and local governments and their agencies or instrumentalities that are rated “Ba” or lower by Moody’s, “BB” or lower by S&P or “BB” or lower by Fitch, or securities which, if unrated, are determined by Wellington Management to be of comparable quality. Non-investment grade securities are commonly referred to as “high yield - high risk” or “junk bonds.” Although the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity, the Fund tends to have an average maturity of 10-25 years.

The sub-adviser, Wellington Management, combines top-down strategy with bottom-up fundamental research and comprehensive risk management within the portfolio construction process. Bottom-up, internally generated, fundamental research attempts to identify relative value among sectors, within sectors, and between individual securities.

Municipal Securities Risks - Municipal securities risks include the possibility that the issuer may not be able to repay the obligation, the relative lack of information about certain issuers of municipal securities, and the possibility of future legislative changes which could affect the market for and value of municipal securities. These risks include:

· General Obligation Bonds Risks - The full faith, credit and taxing power of the municipality that issues a general obligation bond secures payment of interest and repayment of principal. Timely payments depend on the issuer’s credit quality, ability to raise tax revenues and ability to maintain an adequate tax base.

· Revenue Bonds Risks - Payments of interest and principal on revenue bonds are made only from the revenues generated by a particular facility, class of facilities or the proceeds of a special tax or other revenue source. These payments depend on the money earned by the particular facility or class of facilities, or the amount of revenues derived from another source.

· Private Activity Bonds Risks - Municipalities and other public authorities issue private activity bonds to finance development of industrial facilities for use by a private enterprise. The private enterprise pays the principal and interest on the bond, and the issuer does not pledge its full faith, credit and taxing power for repayment. If the private enterprise defaults on its payments, the Fund may not receive any income or get its money back from the investment.

· Moral Obligation Bonds Risks - Moral obligation bonds are generally issued by special purpose public authorities of a state or municipality. If the issuer is unable to meet its obligations, repayment of these bonds becomes a moral commitment, but not a legal obligation, of the state or municipality.

· Municipal Notes Risks - Municipal notes are shorter term municipal debt obligations. They may provide interim financing in anticipation of, and are secured by, tax collection, bond sales or revenue receipts. If there is a shortfall in the anticipated proceeds, the notes may not be fully repaid and the Fund may lose money.

· Municipal Lease Obligations Risks - In a municipal lease obligation, the issuer agrees to make payments when due on the lease obligation. The

issuer will generally appropriate municipal funds for that purpose, but is not obligated to do so. Although the issuer does not pledge its unlimited taxing power for payment of the lease obligation, the lease obligation is secured by the leased property. However, if the issuer does not fulfill its payment obligation it may be difficult to sell the property and the proceeds of a sale may not cover the Fund’s loss.

Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security or other instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation.

Junk Bonds Risk - Although junk bonds generally pay higher rates of interest than investment grade bonds, junk bonds are high risk, speculative investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund. The major risks of junk bond investments include:

· Junk bonds may be issued by less creditworthy issuers. Issuers of junk bonds may have a larger amount of outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment grade bonds. In the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of junk bond holders, leaving few or no assets available to repay junk bond holders.

· Prices of junk bonds are subject to extreme price fluctuations. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of junk bonds than on other higher rated fixed-income securities.

· Issuers of junk bonds may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.

· Junk bonds frequently have redemption features that permit an issuer to repurchase the security from the Fund before it matures. If the issuer redeems junk bonds, the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in bonds with lower yields and may lose income.

· Junk bonds may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities,

even under normal economic conditions. There are fewer dealers in the junk bond market, and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted for junk bonds by the dealers. Because they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.

· The Fund may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting issuer. The credit rating of a high yield security does not necessarily address its market value risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.

The Fund is subject to certain additional risks, which are discussed below.

Additional Risks and Investment Information.

Many factors affect the Fund’s performance. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, and you should not consider any one fund alone to be a complete investment program. The different types of securities, investments, and investment techniques used by the Fund have attendant risks of varying degrees. The Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) contains more detailed information about the Fund’s investment policies and risks.

Taxable Income Risk - The risk that the Fund may invest in securities or other instruments that produce income subject to income tax, including the Alternative Minimum Tax.

Derivatives Risk - The Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes and/or for hedging purposes, including anticipatory hedges. Derivatives are instruments whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Successful use of derivative instruments by the Fund depends on the sub-adviser’s judgment with respect to a number of factors and the Fund’s performance could be worse and/or more volatile than if it had not used these instruments. Derivatives may involve significant risks, including:

· Counterparty/Credit Risk - the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its financial obligation to the Fund.

· Currency Risk - the risk that changes in the exchange rate between currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment.

· Leverage Risk - the risk associated with certain types of investments or trading strategies that relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment. Certain investments or trading strategies that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.

· Liquidity Risk - the risk that certain investments may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time that the seller would like or at the price that the seller believes the security is currently worth, which could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately.

· Index Risk - if the derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index. If the index changes, the Fund could receive lower interest payments or experience a reduction in the value of the derivative to below what the Fund paid. Certain indexed securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a multiple of the changes in the applicable index. For this reason, the Fund’s investment in these instruments may decline significantly in value if index levels move in a way that is not anticipated.

· Regulatory Risk — Government legislation or regulation may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the use, value or performance of derivatives.

Hedging. Hedging is a strategy in which the Fund uses a derivative to offset the risks associated with other Fund holdings. While hedging can reduce losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains or cause losses if the market moves in a manner different from that anticipated by the Fund or if the cost of the derivative outweighs the benefit of the hedge. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Fund, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be either available or cost effective. The Fund is not required to use hedging and may choose not to do so.

Leverage Risk — Certain transactions, including derivatives and when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, involve leverage. Transactions involving leverage provide investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. Leverage may also cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged, as relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. In order to reduce the risk associated with leveraging, the Fund may “set aside” liquid assets (often referred to as “asset segregation”), or otherwise “cover” its position in a manner consistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules and SEC interpretations thereunder. The Fund reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the SEC’s positions regarding asset segregation. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet asset segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so.

Liquidity Risk — The risk that a particular investment may be difficult to sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell the investment at an advantageous time or price. Securities that are liquid at the time of purchase may later become illiquid due to events relating to the issuer of the securities, market events, rising interest rates, economic conditions or investor perceptions. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value and their value may be lower than the market price of comparable liquid securities, which would negatively affect the Fund’s net asset value.

Counterparty Risk - The risk that the counterparty to an over-the-counter derivatives contract or a borrower of the Fund’s securities may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations. The protections available to investors in exchanged traded derivatives may not be available for over-the-counter transactions.

Futures and Options Risks — Futures and options may be more volatile than direct investments in the securities underlying the futures and options and may not correlate perfectly to the underlying securities. Futures and options also involve additional expenses as compared to investing directly in the underlying securities, which could reduce any benefit or increase any loss to the Fund from using the strategy. Futures and options also may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses greater than if they had not been used. Options transactions may be effected on securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. When futures or options are purchased over-the-counter, the Fund bears the risk that the counter-party that wrote the future or option will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the contract. Such futures and options may also be illiquid, and in such cases, the Fund may have difficulty closing out its position or valuing the contract.

Swaps Risk — The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The Fund’s transactions in swaps — which may involve a variety of reference assets — may be significant. These transactions can result in sizeable realized and unrealized capital gains and losses relative to the gains and losses from the Fund’s direct investments in the reference assets.

Transactions in swaps can involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested directly in the reference asset since, in addition to general market risks, swaps may be leveraged and are also subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, credit risk and valuation risk. Because they are two-party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap transactions may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. Some swaps may be complex and valued subjectively. Swaps may also be subject to pricing or “basis” risk, which exists when a particular swap becomes extraordinarily expensive relative to historical prices or the price of corresponding cash market instruments. Under certain market conditions it may not be economically feasible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position in time to avoid a loss or take advantage of an opportunity. If a swap transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to

initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.

The prices of swaps can be very volatile, and a variance in the degree of volatility or in the direction of the price of the reference asset from the sub-adviser’s expectations may produce significant losses in the Fund’s investments in swaps. In addition, a perfect correlation between a swap and an investment position may be impossible to achieve. As a result, the Fund’s use of swaps may not be effective in fulfilling the Fund’s investment strategies and may contribute to losses that would not have been incurred otherwise.

Certain swaps are centrally-cleared and will eventually be exchange-traded. Central clearing is expected to decrease credit risk and exchange-trading is expected to improve liquidity. However, central clearing does not make the contracts risk-free and there is no guarantee that the Fund would consider exchange-traded swaps to be liquid.

In order to reduce the risk associated with leveraging, the Fund may “set aside” liquid assets (often referred to as “asset segregation”), or otherwise “cover” its position in a manner consistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) or the rules and SEC interpretations thereunder. The Fund reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the SEC’s positions regarding asset segregation.

Inverse Floater Risk - Inverse floaters earn interest at rates that vary inversely to changes in short-term interest rates. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less income and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more income. The prices and income of inverse floaters are generally more volatile than the prices and income of bonds with similar maturities. An investment in inverse floaters involves the risk of loss of principal and typically will involve greater risk than an investment in a municipal fixed rate security. Inverse floaters generally will underperform the market for fixed rate municipal securities in a rising interest rate environment.

Foreign Investments Risk - Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than investments in U.S. securities and may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign investments may be affected by the following:

· Currency Risk — Securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests may be denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For this reason, changes in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency loses value because the currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar decreases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency gains value because the currency is worth more U.S. dollars.

· changes in foreign or U.S. law or restrictions applicable to such investments and in exchange control regulations

· increased volatility

· substantially less volume on foreign stock markets and other securities markets

· higher commissions and dealer mark-ups

· inefficiencies in certain foreign clearance and settlement procedures that could result in an inability to execute transactions or delays in settlement

· less uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards

· less publicly available information about a foreign issuer or borrower

· less government regulation

· unfavorable foreign tax laws

· political, social, economic or diplomatic developments in a foreign country or region

· differences in individual foreign economies.

· Governments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets, which may impair investment and economic growth. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.

Forward Currency Contracts Risk - A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities or as part of its investment strategy. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of foreign securities but allow the Fund to establish a fixed rate of exchange for a future point in time. Use of such contracts, therefore, can have the effect of reducing returns and minimizing opportunities for gain. The Fund could also lose money when the contract is settled. Gains from foreign currency contracts are typically taxable as ordinary income and may significantly increase an investor’s tax liability.

Illiquid Investments Risk — Illiquid investments are investments that the Fund cannot sell within seven days at approximately current value. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in such investments. In addition, securities and other investments purchased by the Fund that are liquid at the time of purchase may subsequently become illiquid due to events relating to the issuer of the securities, market events, rising interest rates, economic conditions or investor perceptions. If the Fund holds illiquid investments it may be unable to quickly sell them or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. If one or more of the Fund’s investments becomes illiquid, the Fund may exceed its limit on such investments. In this case, the Fund will consider appropriate steps to bring the Fund’s holdings back under the limit.

include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market.

Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell them on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material nonpublic information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities.

New Fund Risk - The Fund is a new fund which may result in additional risk. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to an economically viable size, in which case the Fund may cease operations. In such an event, investors may be required to liquidate or transfer their investments at an inopportune time.

ETF Risk and ETN Risk - An investment in an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a fund that is not exchange-traded that has the same investment objectives, strategies and policies as the ETF. ETF investments are also subject to the risk that the ETF may fail to accurately track the market segment or index that underlies its investment objective; more frequent price fluctuations, resulting in a loss to the Fund; the risk that the ETF may trade at a price that is lower than its NAV; and the risk that an active market for the ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained. ETFs are also subject to specific risks depending on the nature of the ETF, such as liquidity risk, sector risk, and foreign and emerging market risk, as well as risks associated with fixed income securities, real estate investments and commodities. An investment in an ETF presents the risk that the ETF may no longer meet the listing requirements of any applicable exchanges on which the ETF is listed. The Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the asset-based fees of the ETFs in which the Fund invests.

Exchange traded notes (“ETNs”) are a type of unsecured, unsubordinated debt security that have characteristics and risks similar to those of fixed-income securities and trade on a major exchange similar to shares of ETFs. Unlike other types of fixed income securities, however, the performance of ETNs is based upon that of a market index or other reference asset minus fees and expenses, no coupon payments are made and no principal protection exists. The value of an ETN may be affected by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying commodities or securities markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating and economic, legal, political or geographic events that affect the referenced commodity or security. The Fund’s ability to sell its ETN holdings also may be limited by the availability of a secondary market and the Fund may have to sell such holdings at a discount. ETNs also are subject to counterparty credit risk, fixed-income risk and tracking error risk (where the ETN’s performance may not match or correlate to that of its market index). ETNs also incur certain expenses not incurred by their applicable index.

Other Investment Companies - Restrictions on Investments. Investments in securities of other investment companies, including ETFs, are generally subject to

limitations prescribed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and its rules, and applicable SEC staff interpretations or applicable exemptive relief granted by the SEC. Such investments subject the Fund to the risks that apply to the other investment company and may increase the Fund’s expenses to the extent it pays fees charged by the other investment company.

Use as Underlying Fund Risk

The Fund may be an investment (an “Underlying Fund”) of one or more fund of funds. The term “fund of funds” refers to a mutual fund that pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in other mutual funds.

Risks Related to the Fund of Funds Structure for Underlying Funds:

· A fund-of-funds structure could increase or decrease gains and could affect the timing, amount and character of distributions to you from the fund for investments you make directly in the fund.

· The Fund, as an Underlying Fund, may experience relatively large redemptions or investments as the fund of funds periodically reallocates or rebalances its assets. These transactions may cause the Fund to sell securities to meet such redemptions, or to invest in cash, at times it would not otherwise do so, and may as a result increase transaction costs and adversely affect Fund performance.

Use of Cash or Money Market Investments

The Fund may invest some or all of its assets in cash, high quality money market instruments (including, but not limited to U.S. government securities, bank obligations, commercial paper and repurchase agreements involving the foregoing securities) and shares of money market investment companies for temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions. In addition, the Fund may invest some of its assets in these instruments to maintain liquidity or in response to atypical circumstances such as unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. Under such conditions, the Fund may not invest in accordance with its investment objective or principal investment strategy and, as a result, there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, and may lose the benefit of market upswings.

About The Fund’s Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Fund’s Board without approval of the shareholders of the Fund. The Fund’s prospectus will be updated prior to any change in the Fund’s investment objective.

Consequences of Portfolio Trading Practices

The Fund may have a relatively high portfolio turnover and may, at times, engage in short-term trading. Such activity could produce higher brokerage expenses for the Fund and higher taxable distributions to the Fund’s shareholders and therefore could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund is not managed to achieve a particular tax result for shareholders. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisor for individual tax advice.

Investment Policies

The Fund has a name which suggests a focus on a particular type of investment. In accordance with Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a policy that it will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax. This requirement is applied at the time the Fund invests its assets. If, subsequent to an investment by the Fund, this requirement is no longer met, the Fund’s future investments will be made in a manner that will bring the Fund into compliance with this requirement. The Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in such a manner is a “fundamental” one, which means that it may not be changed without the vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares as defined in the 1940 Act.

Additional Investment Strategies and Risks

The Fund may invest in various securities and engage in various investment techniques that are not the principal focus of the Fund and, therefore, are not described in this prospectus. These securities and techniques, together with their risks, are discussed in the Fund’s Combined SAI, which may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Fund (see back cover for address, phone number and website address).

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings

Each Hartford Fund will publicly disclose its complete month-end portfolio holdings, excepting certain de minimis or short-term investments, on the Funds’ web site at www.hartfordfunds.com no earlier than 25 calendar days after the end of each month, except: (a) each Fund that is a “fund of funds” will publicly disclose its complete month-end portfolio holdings of Underlying Funds in which it invests (and the percentage invested in each) no earlier than 15 calendar days after the end of that month; and (b) a Fund that has a wholly owned subsidiary will publicly disclose its direct holdings and the holdings of its subsidiary (as if held directly) no earlier than 25 calendar days after the end of each month.

Each Fund (other than the Alternative Strategies Fund and the funds of funds) also will publicly disclose on its web site its largest ten holdings (in the case of equity funds) or largest ten issuers (in the case of fixed income funds) in which it invests (and the percentage invested in each) no earlier than 15 calendar days after the end of each month, except: (1) if a Fund is a “balanced fund” or “multi asset” fund (i.e., a fund that invests in both equity and fixed income securities), the Fund will publicly disclose its largest ten fixed income holdings and largest ten equity holdings (and the percentage invested in each holding); and (2) if a Fund has a wholly owned subsidiary, it will determine its largest ten holdings as if the Fund directly held the securities of its subsidiary.

A description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio securities is available in the Funds’ SAI.

THE INVESTMENT MANAGER AND SUB-ADVISER

The Investment Manager

The Fund’s Investment Manager is the investment manager to each Hartford Fund. The Investment Manager is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”), a Connecticut-based financial services company. Excluding affiliated fund of funds, as of March 31, 2015, the Investment Manager had approximately $96.0 billion (or $75.7 billion additionally excluding certain annuity products) in discretionary and non-discretionary assets under management. The Investment Manager is responsible for the management of the Fund and supervises the activities of the investment sub-adviser described below. The Investment Manager is principally located at 5 Radnor Corporate Center, Suite 300, 100 Matsonford Road, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087.

The Investment Manager relies on an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under which it uses a “Manager of Managers” structure. The Investment Manager has responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board of Directors, to oversee the sub-adviser and recommend its hiring, termination and replacement. The exemptive order permits the Investment Manager to appoint a sub-adviser not affiliated with the Investment Manager with the approval of the Board of Directors and without obtaining approval from the Fund’s shareholders. Within 90 days after hiring any new sub-adviser, the Fund’s shareholders will receive information about the new sub-advisory relationship.

The Investment Sub-Adviser

Wellington Management serves as the Fund’s sub-adviser and provides day-to-day management for the Fund’s portfolio. Wellington Management is a Delaware limited liability partnership with principal offices at 280 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. Wellington Management is a professional investment counseling firm that provides investment services to investment companies, employee benefit plans, endowments, foundations, and other institutions. Wellington Management and its predecessor organizations have provided investment advisory services for over 80 years. Wellington Management is owned by the partners of Wellington Management Group LLP, a Massachusetts limited liability partnership. As of March 31, 2015, Wellington Management had investment management authority with respect to approximately $939 billion in assets.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund’s SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers and the portfolio managers’ ownership of securities in the Fund.

Brad W. Libby, Managing Director and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager/Credit Analyst of Wellington Management, has served as portfolio manager of the Fund since 2015. Mr. Libby joined Wellington Management as an investment professional in 2010. Prior to joining Wellington Management, Mr. Libby was an investment professional with Putnam Investments (1996 to 2009).

Timothy D. Haney, CFA, Senior Managing Director and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager of Wellington Management, has served as portfolio manager of the Fund since 2015. Mr. Haney joined Wellington Management as an investment professional in 2005.

Soft Dollar Practices

The sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management activities of the Fund, including effecting securities transactions. To the extent consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), the sub-adviser may obtain “soft dollar” benefits in connection with the execution of transactions for the Fund. The sub-adviser may cause the Fund to pay a broker-dealer an amount in excess of the amount that another broker-dealer would have charged for the same transaction, in exchange for “brokerage and research services” (as defined in the 1934 Act). Neither the management fees nor the sub-advisory fees are reduced because the sub-adviser receives these products and services. These products and services may be of value to the sub-adviser in advising its clients (including the Fund), although not all of these products and services are necessarily useful and of value in managing the Fund. These products and services may include research reports, access to management personnel, financial newsletters and trade journals, seminar and conference fees, quantitative analytical software, data services, communication services relating to (or incidental to) the execution, clearing and settlement of securities transactions, post-trade services relating to functions incidental to trade execution, and other products and services that are permitted under Section 28(e), as interpreted by the SEC from time to time. In certain instances, these products and services may have additional uses that are not related to brokerage or research. For such “mixed use” items, in accordance with SEC guidance, the sub-adviser will make a reasonable allocation of the cost of the item according to its expected use, and will pay for that portion of the item that does not have a brokerage or research-related component out of its own pocket.

MANAGEMENT FEE. The Fund pays a monthly management fee to the Investment Manager at the annual rate, based on the Fund’s average daily net asset value, shown below.

The management fee set forth in the Fund’s investment advisory agreement is 0.350% of the first $500 million, 0.300% of the next $500 million, 0.290% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.285% of the next $2.5 billion, and 0.280% in excess of $5 billion annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Investment Manager pays a sub-advisory fee to Wellington Management out of its advisory fee.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Directors’ approval of the investment management agreement for the Fund with the Investment Manager, as well as the investment sub-advisory agreement between the Investment Manager and the Fund’s sub-adviser, will be available in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.

ACQUIRED FUND FEES AND EXPENSES. The Fund will indirectly bear a pro rata share of fees and expenses incurred by the investment companies in which the Fund is invested. The Fund’s pro rata portion of the cumulative expenses charged

by the investment companies is calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets. The pro rata portion of the cumulative expenses may be higher or lower depending on the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the investment companies and the actual expenses of the investment companies.

CLASSES OF SHARES

The Fund offers for sale three classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class I.

Investor Requirements.

This section describes investor requirements for each class of shares offered by Hartford Funds. The Fund may, in its sole discretion, modify or waive the eligibility requirements for purchases of any class of its shares.

Class A and Class C Shares — Class A and Class C shares are generally available for purchase by all investors. However, Class A shares are not generally available to retirement plans.

Class I Shares — Class I shares are only offered:

· through advisory fee-based wrap programs sponsored by financial intermediaries, such as brokerage firms, investment advisers, financial planners, third-party administrators, insurance companies, and any other institutions that have a selling, administration or any similar agreement with the Fund, whose use of Class I shares will depend on the structure of the particular advisory fee-based wrap program, and

· to current or retired officers, directors and employees (and their families, as defined below under “Accumulation Privilege”) of the Fund, The Hartford, the sub-advisers to Hartford Funds, Hartford Administrative Services Company, and their affiliates.

These eligible investors may purchase Class I shares, which are offered at net asset value without any sales charge or any distribution or service fee. Ineligible investors who select Class I shares will be issued Class A shares. Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales charge and a distribution and service fee unless an investor qualifies for the waiver of the Class A front-end sales charge.

Choosing a Share Class

Each share class has its own cost structure, allowing you to choose the one that best meets your needs. For estimated expenses of each share class, see the Fund information earlier in this prospectus. Your financial representative can help you decide.

In making your decision regarding which share class may be best for you to invest in, please keep in mind that your financial representative or plan administrator may receive different compensation depending on the share class you buy and different share classes may offer you different services. You should consult with your financial intermediary about the comparative pricing and features of each share class, the services available for shareholders in each share class, the compensation that your financial intermediary will receive in connection with each share class and other factors that may affect your decision about the best share class to buy.

Each class, except Class I, has adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan that allows that class to pay distribution and service fees for the sale and distribution of its shares and for providing services to shareholders. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s

assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

	Sales Charge	Deferred Sales Charge (Load)	Distribution and Services (12b-1) Fees(1)		Administrative Fee(1)
Class A	Described under the subheading “How Sales Charges are Calculated”	Described under the subheading “How Sales Charges are Calculated”	0.25	%	None
Class C(2)	None	1.00% on shares sold within one year of purchase	1.00	%	None
Class I	None	None	None		None

(1) As a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets.

(2) No automatic conversion to Class A shares, so annual expenses continue at the Class C level throughout the life of your investment.

How Sales Charges Are Calculated

Class A shares pay sales charges and commissions to dealers for the Fund as follows. The offering price includes the front-end sales charge.

YOUR INVESTMENT	As a % of Offering Price		As a % of Net Investment		Dealer Commission-As Percentage of Offering Price
Less than $50,000	4.50	%	4.71	%	3.75	%
$ 50,000 – $ 99,999	4.00	%	4.17	%	3.50	%
$100,000 – $249,999	3.50	%	3.63	%	3.00	%
$250,000 – $499,999	2.50	%	2.56	%	2.00	%
$500,000 – $999,999	2.00	%	2.04	%	1.75	%
$1 million or more(1)	0	%	0	%	0	%

(1) Investments of $1 million or more in Class A shares may be made with no front-end sales charge. However, if you qualify to purchase your Class A shares without any sales charge and you redeem those shares within 18 months of the purchase, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% on any Class A shares sold. For purposes of this CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the first day of that month. The amount of any CDSC is based on the lesser of the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being sold and is not charged on shares you acquired by reinvesting your dividends and capital gains distributions. To keep your CDSC as low as possible, each time you place a request to sell shares, we will first sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC.

In order to determine the dollar amount of the sales charges you pay, we multiply the applicable percentage by the dollar amount of your desired investment. The total dollar amount of the sales charge is rounded to two decimal places using standard rounding criteria and is included in the public offering price of the Fund. Your total purchase amount is then divided by the Fund’s per share public offering price to determine the number of shares you receive in the Fund. This number is rounded to three decimal places using standard rounding criteria. Because of

rounding discussed above, the front-end sales charge you pay, when expressed as a percentage of the offering price, may be higher or lower than the amount as stated in the Fund’s fee table (as illustrated in the table above).

For example, you want to invest $100.00 in Class A shares of a Fund. Assume the shares have a public offering price of $15.72 (includes front-end sales charge), a total net asset value of $14.86, and a front-end sales charge of 5.5%. The total dollar amount of the sales charge would be $5.48; the total net asset value of the shares purchased would be $94.52; and the total number of shares purchased would equal 6.361 shares. Therefore, the calculated sales charge rate is 5.48% (sales charge paid divided by the net investment). Please note that this example is a hypothetical and is not intended to represent the value of any Hartford Fund.

The distributor may pay up to the entire amount of the sales commission to particular broker-dealers. The distributor may pay dealers of record commissions on purchases of over $1 million in an amount of up to 1.00% on the first $10 million, 0.50% of the next $30 million, 0.25% of share purchases over $40 million. This commission schedule may also apply to certain sales of Class A shares made to investors that qualify under any of the last four categories listed under “Waivers for Certain Investors.”

Class C deferred sales charges are listed below. No CDSC is charged on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being sold, whichever is less. A front-end sales charge is not assessed on Class C shares.

YEARS AFTER PURCHASE	CDSC
1st year	1.00	%
After 1 year	None

For purposes of the Class C CDSC, all purchases made during a calendar month are counted as having been made on the first day of that month. To determine whether a CDSC applies, the Fund redeems shares in the following order: (1) shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, and (2) shares held over 1 year. Please note that for purposes of the expense examples shown in this prospectus, the figures include the effect of Class C CDSC as if it had been incurred prior to the expiration of the applicable period.

When requesting a redemption, the amount withdrawn from your account will equal the specified dollar amount of the redemption request plus the dollar amount of any applicable CDSC. If you do not want any additional amount withdrawn from your account to cover the CDSC due, please indicate that the applicable CDSC should be withdrawn from the total distribution amount requested.

Proceeds from the CDSC are paid to the distributor and are used in whole or in part by the distributor to defray its expenses related to providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of the Class A and Class C shares, such as the payment of compensation to select selling brokers for selling these classes of shares. The combination of the CDSC and the distribution and service fees facilitates the ability of the Fund to sell the Class C shares without a front-end

sales charge being deducted, and to sell Class A shares with a 2.00%, 3.00%, 4.50% or 5.50% maximum sales charge, as applicable, at the time of the purchase.

Although the Fund does not charge a transaction fee, you may be charged a fee by brokers or financial intermediaries for the purchase or sale of the Fund’s shares through that broker or financial intermediary. This transaction fee is separate from any sales charge that the Fund may apply.

Sales Charge Reductions And Waivers

Reducing Your Class A Sales Charges There are several ways you can combine multiple purchases of shares of the Fund to take advantage of the breakpoints in the Class A shares’ sales charge schedule. Please note that you or your broker must notify the Fund’s transfer agent that you are eligible for these breakpoints every time you have a qualifying transaction.

· Accumulation Privilege — permits any qualifying investor to purchase Class A shares of any Hartford Fund (other than series of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. (“Hartford HLS Funds”)) and 529 college savings plan accounts administered by The Hartford at the offering price that applies to the total of: (a) the dollar amount then being purchased plus (b) an amount equal to the then-current, as of the business day immediately prior to such purchases, net asset value of the purchaser’s holdings of all shares (other than Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Hartford HLS Funds) and 529 college savings plan accounts administered by The Hartford. For purposes of this Privilege, a qualifying investor may include all shares owned by family members and for accounts opened on or after August 16, 2004, a family member is the owner’s spouse (or legal equivalent recognized under state law) and any children under 21. For accounts opened before August 16, 2004, please see the SAI for more information. Employer-sponsored retirement plans or certain tax qualified retirements accounts may also receive these breakpoints as long as the Fund’s transfer agent or the financial intermediary is notified at the time of purchase. The Accumulation Privilege may be amended or terminated at any time as to subsequent purchases.

· Letter Of Intent — lets you purchase Class A shares of the Fund over a 13-month period and receive the same sales charge as if all shares had been purchased at once. Any person may use a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to qualify for a reduced sales charge on purchases of Class A shares. Please note: (i) retirement plans that receive breakpoints at the plan level do not qualify for the LOI privilege and (ii) Class A shares acquired through the reinvestment of distributions do not constitute purchases for purposes of the LOI. A Class A shareholder may include, as an accumulation credit towards the completion of an LOI, the value of all shares of all funds of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc., The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. and 529 college savings plan accounts administered by The Hartford owned by the shareholder as described above under “Accumulation Privilege.” Such value is determined based on the public offering price on the date of the LOI. During the term of a LOI, the Fund’s transfer agent will hold shares in escrow to secure payment of the higher sales charge applicable for shares

actually purchased if you do not purchase the amount indicated on the LOI. Dividends and capital gains will be paid on all escrowed shares and these shares will be released when the amount indicated on the LOI has been purchased. A LOI does not obligate you to buy or the Fund to sell the indicated amount of the LOI. If a Class A shareholder exceeds the amount specified in the LOI and reaches an amount that would qualify for a further quantity discount, the applicable breakpoints in the Class A shares’ sales charge schedule will be applied to such additional Class A share purchases. Any resulting difference in offering price will be used to purchase additional Class A shares for the shareholder’s account at the applicable offering price. If the Class A shareholder does not purchase the amount specified in the LOI within thirty days after a written request by the Fund’s transfer agent, the Fund’s transfer agent will redeem an appropriate number of escrowed shares for an amount equal to the difference between the sales charge paid and the sales charge that would have been paid had the aggregate purchases been made at a single time. This redemption may be treated and reported as a taxable transaction to you, as discussed in the “Fund Distributions and Tax Matters” section of this prospectus. Purchases based on a LOI may include holdings as described above under “Accumulation Privilege.” Additional information about the terms of the LOI is available from your registered representative or from the Fund’s transfer agent at 1-888-843-7824.

Waivers For Certain Investors

Front-End Sales Charge. The Class A shares front-end sales charge may be reduced or waived for the following individuals and institutions:

· selling broker-dealers and their employees and sales representatives (and their families, as defined above under the “Accumulation Privilege” section) provided, however, that only those employees of such broker-dealers who, as a part of their usual duties, provide services related to transactions in Fund shares shall qualify,

· financial representatives utilizing Fund shares in fee-based investment products under a signed agreement with the Fund,

· current or retired officers, directors and employees (and their families, as defined above under the “Accumulation Privilege” section) of the Fund, The Hartford, the sub-advisers to Hartford Funds, Hartford Administrative Services Company, and their affiliates. Such individuals may also purchase Class I shares at net asset value,

· welfare benefit plans investing in Fund shares through group variable funding agreements issued by Hartford Life Insurance Company,

· college savings programs that are qualified state tuition programs under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, and

· investors purchasing through a financial intermediary that has entered into an agreement with the distributor to offer shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts that may or may not charge a transaction fee to customers.

In order to receive the sales charge reductions or waivers, you must notify the Fund’s transfer agent of the reduction or waiver request when you place your purchase order. The Fund’s transfer agent may require evidence of your qualification for such reductions or waivers. Additional information about the sales charge reductions or waivers can be obtained from the Fund’s transfer agent. The 1.00% CDSCs indicated above also may be waived where the distributor does not compensate the broker for the sale.

CDSC Waivers. As long as the Fund’s transfer agent is notified at the time you sell, the CDSC for each applicable share class will generally be waived in the following cases:

· to make Systematic Withdrawal Plan payments that are limited annually to no more than 12% of the value of the account at the time the plan is initiated or updated.

· for death or disability.

· under reorganization, liquidation, merger or acquisition transactions involving other investment companies.

· under the following circumstances, for employer-sponsored retirement plans or tax qualified retirement accounts:

(1) to return excess contributions,

(2) hardship withdrawals as defined in employer-sponsored retirement plans,

(3) under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order as defined in the Internal Revenue Code,

(4) to meet minimum distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code,

(5) to make “substantially equal payments” as described in Section 72(t) of the Internal Revenue Code, and

(6) after separation from service.

· for Class C shares only, for withdrawals made pursuant to loans taken from qualified retirement plans. Loans are defined by the retirement plan’s administrator at the time of the withdrawal.

Reinstatement Privilege

If you sell shares of the Fund, you may reinvest some or all of the proceeds in shares of the Fund or any other Hartford Fund within 90 days without a sales charge, as long as the Fund’s transfer agent is notified before you reinvest; except that, certain qualified plans may only reinvest as a rollover within 60 days of selling shares of the Fund. In this case, once the 60 day rollover period has ended, such qualified plans may reinvest only those funds that do not exceed the maximum qualified plan contribution amount for their account in that given tax year. If you sold Class A or C shares, you must reinvest in shares of the same class to take advantage of the reinstatement privilege. If you paid a CDSC when you sold your

Class A or Class C shares, you will be credited with the amount of that CDSC. All accounts involved must have the same registration.

Information about sales charges and sales charge reductions or waivers is available, free of charge, on the Fund’s website www.hartfordfunds.com. The website includes hyperlinks that facilitate access to this information.

HOW TO BUY AND SELL SHARES

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a new account. What does this mean for you? When you open a new account, you will be asked to provide your name, residential address, date of birth, social security number and other information that identifies you. You may also be asked to show your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

For non-persons wishing to open an account or establish a relationship, Federal law requires us to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each business, entity or individual holding 25% or more ownership with that entity. What does this mean for you? When you open an account or establish a relationship, we will ask for your business name, a street address, a tax identification number and may request additional information pertaining to the entity.

We are also required to obtain information that identifies each authorized signer by requesting name, residential address, date of birth and social security number for each of your authorized signers. We appreciate your cooperation.

If the Fund is not able to adequately identify you within the time frames set forth in the law, your shares may be automatically redeemed. If the net asset value per share has decreased since your purchase, you will lose money as a result of this redemption. You may also incur any applicable sales charge.

Of critical importance, is the location of those authorized to transact on an account at the time the transaction request is placed with the Fund. In general, shareholders and authorized traders may only place trades with the Fund when physically in the U.S., a U.S. territory, stationed at a military base, or stationed at a U.S. Embassy. The location of the authorized caller may be obtained on a recorded phone call or in writing.

Opening an Account

1. Read this prospectus carefully.

2. Determine how much you want to invest. The minimum investment amounts are as follows:

· Class A, Class C and Class I shares – $2,000 for initial investments, at least $50 for subsequent investments; except Automatic Investment Plans, which require $250 to open and at least $50 per month invested in the Fund thereafter.

Minimum investment amounts may be waived for certain employer-sponsored retirement accounts and for proprietary wrap programs that are sponsored by broker-dealers or at the transfer agent’s discretion.

3. Complete the appropriate parts of the account application including any reduced sales charge privileges you wish to request. By applying for privileges now, you can avoid the delay and inconvenience of having to file an additional

application if you want to add privileges later. If you have questions and you hold shares through a financial representative or retirement plan, please contact your financial representative or plan administrator. If you hold shares directly with the Fund, please call the transfer agent at 1-888-843-7824.

4. Make your initial investment selection. You or your financial representative can initiate any purchase, exchange or sale of shares.

Class C Shares Purchase Limits

Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a total account value limitation at the time of purchase of $999,999. If your existing accounts for all share classes (except Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5) held with the distributor have a total value equal to $999,999, you will not be able to purchase Class C shares. For the purpose of determining your total account value, existing accounts for all share classes (except Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5) held with the distributor that are linked under a Letter of Intent or Accumulation Privilege will be included. Dealers and other financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in omnibus accounts are responsible for compliance with these limits. You should consult your financial adviser when choosing a share class.

NOTE FOR RETIREMENT PLAN PARTICIPANTS AND INVESTORS WHOSE SHARES ARE HELD BY FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIVES

If you hold your shares through a retirement plan or if your shares are held with a financial representative you will need to make transactions through the retirement plan administrator or your financial representative. Some of the services and programs described in this prospectus may not be available or may differ in such circumstances. You should check with your retirement plan administrator or financial representative for further details.

Valuation of Shares

The net asset value per share (NAV) is determined for each class of the Fund’s shares as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the Exchange is open (“Valuation Date”). If the Exchange is closed due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, the Fund may treat such day as a typical business day and accept purchase and redemption orders and calculate the Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The net asset value for each class of shares is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to a class of shares by the number of shares outstanding for that class. Information that becomes known to

the Fund after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day.

For purposes of calculating the NAV, portfolio securities and other assets held in the Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported trade prices or official close price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, the Fund will use the fair value of the security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”). Market prices are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close that materially affect the values of the Fund’s portfolio holdings or assets. In addition, market prices are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities or other instruments trade, do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. In addition, prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets are adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Directors in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close. Securities or other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments in which the Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio holding is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.

Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations and senior floating rate interests) and non-exchange traded derivatives held by the Fund are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services in accordance with procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Senior floating rate interests generally trade in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and are priced through an independent pricing service utilizing independent market quotations from loan dealers or financial institutions. Generally, the Fund may use fair valuation in regard to fixed income positions when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed investments or investments in a company in which a reorganization is pending. Short term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost if their original term to maturity was 60 days or

less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term exceeded 60 days.

Exchange traded futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange as of the NYSE Close. Exchange traded options and options on futures are valued at the last trade price or mean of the bid and ask prices as of the NYSE Close. If such instruments do not trade on an exchange, values may be supplied by an independent pricing service using a formula or other objective method that may take into consideration the style, direction, expiration, strike price, notional value and volatility or other adjustments.

Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of the Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities or other instruments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund.

Foreign currency contracts represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. Foreign currency contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates as provided by an independent pricing service on the Valuation Date.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the Valuation Date. Such open-end mutual funds may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.

Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the respective financial instrument in accordance with procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors.

For additional information regarding particular types of investments, please see the “Determination of Net Asset Value” section of the SAI.

Buy and Sell Prices

When you buy shares, you pay the NAV plus any applicable sales charges. When you sell shares, you receive the NAV less any applicable sales charges.

Execution Of Requests

The Fund is open on those days when the Exchange is open, typically Monday through Friday. Buy and sell requests are executed at the next NAV calculated after your request is received, if your order is in “good order” (has all required information), by the transfer agent, authorized broker-dealers or their authorized designee, or third-party administrators.

You may buy and sell shares of the Fund on the web, by telephone, by wire or by mail. You may exchange your shares by telephone, on the web, or by mail. Note that requests to buy, sell or exchange shares by mail must be sent to the P.O. box at the address provided elsewhere in this prospectus and will be sent from that

address to the transfer agent for processing. Your request will be priced at the next NAV calculated after the transfer agent receives the request rather than after the request arrives at the P.O. box.

At times of peak activity, it may be difficult to place requests by phone. During these times, visit www.hartfordfunds.com or consider sending your request in writing.

In unusual circumstances, the Fund may temporarily suspend the processing of sell requests, or may postpone payment of redemption proceeds for up to seven days. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption for longer than seven days only as allowed by federal securities laws.

Requests In “Good Order”

All purchase and redemption requests must be received by the Fund in “good order.” This means that your request must include:

· Name, date of birth, residential address, and social security number.

· The Fund name, share class and account number.

· The amount of the transaction (in dollars or shares).

· Signatures of all owners exactly as registered on the account (for mail requests).

· Medallion signature guarantee or Signature Validation Program stamp (if required).

· Any supporting legal documentation that may be required.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares

The Hartford Funds are intended to be long-term investment vehicles and are not designed to provide investors with a means of speculating on short-term market movements (market timing). Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by the Fund’s shareholders can disrupt the management of the Fund, negatively affect the Fund’s performance, and increase expenses for all Fund shareholders. In particular, frequent trading (i) can force the Fund’s portfolio manager to hold larger cash positions than desired instead of fully investing all the Fund’s assets, which can result in lost investment opportunities; (ii) can cause unplanned and inopportune portfolio turnover in order to meet redemption requests; (iii) can increase broker-dealer commissions and other transaction costs as well as administrative costs for the Fund; and (iv) can trigger taxable gains for other shareholders. Also, some frequent traders engage in arbitrage strategies, by which these traders seek to exploit pricing anomalies that can occur when a Fund invests in securities that are thinly traded (for example, some high yield bonds and small capitalization stocks) or are traded primarily in markets outside of the United States. Frequent traders, and in particular those using arbitrage strategies, can dilute the Fund’s NAV for long-term shareholders.

If you intend to trade frequently or use market timing investment strategies, you should not purchase Hartford Funds.

The Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by

Fund shareholders. Hartford Funds’ policy is to discourage investors from trading in the Funds’ shares in an excessive manner that would be harmful to long-term investors and to make reasonable efforts to detect and deter excessive trading. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order at any time and for any reason, without prior written notice. Each Fund also reserves the right to revoke the exchange privileges of any person at any time and for any reason. In making such determinations, a Fund may consider an investor’s trading history in any of the Hartford Funds, including the person’s trading history in any accounts under a person’s common ownership or control. No system for the prevention and detection of market timing and other abusive trading activities can be expected to identify, address or eliminate all such activities in Fund shares.

It is the policy of the Funds to permit only two “substantive round trips” by an investor within any single Hartford Fund within a 90-day period.

A substantive round trip is a purchase of or an exchange into a Hartford Fund and a redemption of or an exchange out of the same Hartford Fund in a dollar amount that the Fund’s transfer agent determines, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, could adversely affect the management of the Fund. When an additional purchase or exchange change order request for the Fund is received within the 90-day period, the requested transaction shall be rejected (unless such transaction was a transaction in an omnibus account that was identified, in accordance with the procedures described below, after it had already occurred). In addition, the person requesting such transaction shall be deemed an “Excessive Trader.” All exchange and purchase privileges of an Excessive Trader shall be suspended within such Fund for the first violation of the policy for a period of 90 days. For a second violation of the policy, the exchange and purchase privileges of the Excessive Trader shall be suspended indefinitely. If an Excessive Trader makes exchanges through a registered representative, in appropriate circumstances the Fund’s transfer agent may terminate the registered representative’s exchange and purchase privileges in Hartford Funds. The frequent trading limitations do not apply to the following: (1) any transaction not initiated by a shareholder or their registered representative; (2) transactions that are part of a systematic program; (3) automatic programs offered by the Funds, such as dollar cost averaging, dividend diversification and systematic withdrawals; (4) transactions of $1,000 or less; and (5) transactions that the Fund, in its discretion, determines are not abusive or harmful.

The Hartford Funds’ policies for deterring frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by a Fund shareholder are intended to be applied uniformly to all Fund shareholders to the extent practicable. Some financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers, investment advisors, plan administrators, and third-party transfer agents, however, maintain omnibus accounts in which they aggregate orders of multiple investors and forward the aggregated orders to the Funds. Because the Funds receive these orders on an aggregated basis and because these omnibus accounts may trade with numerous fund families with differing market timing policies, the Funds are limited in their ability to identify or deter Excessive Traders or other abusive traders. The Hartford Funds’ procedures with respect to omnibus accounts are as follows: (1) Where the Fund’s transfer agent is provided individual shareholder level transaction detail on a daily basis, the Fund’s transfer agent shall

monitor the daily trade activity of individual shareholders and apply the Policy. (2) Where the Fund’s transfer agent is not provided individual shareholder level transaction detail on a daily basis, the Fund’s transfer agent shall monitor the accounts at an omnibus level and apply detection tools designed to determine whether shareholder transactions violating the Policy may be occurring. In such cases, the Fund’s transfer agent shall request and evaluate individual shareholder level transaction detail and seek to impose restrictions in accordance with the Policy. The Funds’ ability to identify and deter frequent purchases and redemptions of a Fund’s shares through omnibus accounts is limited, and the Funds’ success in accomplishing the objectives of the policies concerning frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares in this context depends significantly upon the cooperation of the financial intermediaries. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund’s transfer agent also employs a process for reviewing certain large transactions in the Funds and may restrict trading as a result of its review.

The use of fair value pricing can serve both to make Hartford Funds less attractive to market timers and to reduce the potential adverse consequences to other investors of market timing or abusive trading. Certain market timers may seek to take advantage of pricing anomalies that can occur in Fund shares resulting from the manner in which the NAV of the Funds’ shares is determined each day. Frequent trading in Fund shares can dilute the value of long-term shareholders’ interests in a Fund if the Fund calculates its NAV using closing prices that are no longer accurate. Funds that invest in overseas markets or that invest in securities of smaller issuers or thinly traded securities are more susceptible to this activity. Hartford Funds’ pricing procedures, particularly those procedures governing the determination of the “fair value” of securities for which market prices are not readily available (or are unreliable) for foreign securities, may serve as a deterrent against harmful excessive trading in fund shares. For additional information concerning Hartford Funds’ fair value procedures, please refer to “Valuation of Shares.”

Hartford Funds reserves the right to modify this policy, including any surveillance procedures established from time to time to effectuate this policy, at any time without notice. Hartford Funds, the Investment Manager, and/or the Fund’s transfer agent shall not be liable for any loss resulting from rejected purchase orders or exchanges.

Certificated Shares

Shares are electronically recorded and, therefore, the Fund does not issue share certificates.

Account Closings

There may be instances in which it is appropriate for your shares to be redeemed and your account to be closed. For additional information about when your shares may be redeemed and your account closed, please see the SAI under “Account Closings.”

Sales In Advance of Purchase Payments

When you place a request to sell shares for which the purchase money has not yet been collected, the request will be executed in a timely fashion, but the Fund will not release the proceeds to you until your purchase payment clears. This may take up to 5 business days after the purchase.

Special Redemptions

Although it would not normally do so, the Fund has the right to pay the redemption price of shares of the Fund in whole or in part in portfolio securities constituting the shareholder’s proportionate share of the current assets of the Fund rather than cash. When the shareholder sells portfolio securities received in this fashion, a brokerage charge would be incurred. Any such securities would be valued for the purposes of making such payment at the same value as used in determining the Fund’s net asset value. The Fund, however, always redeems shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1.00% of the net asset value of the Fund during any 90 day period for any one account.

Abandoned Property

It is the responsibility of the shareholder to ensure that Hartford Funds maintains a correct address for the shareholder’s account(s). An incorrect address may cause a shareholder’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to Hartford Funds. Please be advised that certain state escheatment laws may require the Fund to turn over your mutual fund account to the state listed in your account registration as abandoned property if no activity occurs in the account within the time frame specified by the state law. To learn more about the escheatment rules for your particular state, please contact your attorney or State Treasurer’s and/or Controller’s Offices. If you do not hold your shares directly with the Fund, you should contact your broker-dealer, retirement plan or other third party intermediary regarding applicable state escheatment laws.

Payment Requirements — Class A and Class C

All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks and made payable to Hartford Funds. You may not purchase shares with a starter or third party check.

If your check does not clear, your purchase will be canceled and you will be liable for any losses or fees that the Fund or Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (“HFD” or the “Distributor”), the Fund’s distributor, has incurred.

Certain broker-dealers and financial institutions may enter confirmed purchase orders with the Fund on behalf of customers with payment to follow within the customary settlement period. If payment is not received by that time, the order will be canceled and the broker-dealer or financial institution will be held liable for the resulting fees or losses.

Account Statements

Class A and Class C — In general, you will receive account statements as follows:

· after every transaction (except certain automatic payment and redemption arrangements and dividend or distribution reinvestment) that affects your account balances

· after any changes of name or address of the registered owner(s)

· in all other circumstances, every quarter during which there is activity in your account, and at least annually

Every year you will also receive the appropriate tax reporting forms for the type of account you choose and the activity in your account.

If, however, you are a participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan or you hold your shares in the name of your broker, you will receive statements from your plan administrator or broker pursuant to their policies.

Class I — You will receive account and tax information statements, if applicable, from your financial intermediary pursuant to its policies or from the transfer agent.

Additional Investor Services — Class A and Class C

· Electronic Transfers Through Automated Clearing House (ACH) allow you to initiate a purchase or redemption for as little as $50 between your bank account and Fund account using the ACH network. Sales charges and initial purchase minimums apply.

· Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) lets you set up regular investments from your bank account to the Fund. You determine the frequency and amount of your investments, and you can terminate your program at any time. To establish, complete the appropriate parts of your account application, or if this is an IRA account, complete the “Mutual Funds Automatic Investment Form.” If you are using AIP to open an account, you must invest a minimum initial investment of $250 into the Fund and invest a minimum of $50 per month into the Fund.

· Systematic Withdrawal Plan may be used for routine bill payments or periodic withdrawals from your account. To establish, make sure you have at least $5,000 worth of shares in your account and that the amount per transaction is $50 or more. Also, make sure you are not planning to invest more money in this account (buying shares of the Fund during a period when you are also selling shares of the Fund is not advantageous to you, because of sales charges). Specify the payee(s), who may be yourself or any other party. There is no limit to the number of payees you may have. A Medallion signature guarantee is required if the payee is someone other than the registered owner. Determine the schedule (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or in certain selected months) and fill out the relevant part of the account application. To add a systematic withdrawal plan to an existing account, contact your financial representative or the transfer agent.

· Dollar Cost Averaging Programs (DCA) let you set up monthly or quarterly exchanges from the Fund to the same class of shares of another Hartford Fund. To establish, complete the appropriate parts of your account application or the “Mutual Fund Dollar Cost Averaging Form.” Be sure that

the amount is for $50 or more and that the accounts involved have identical registrations.

· Automatic Dividend Diversification (ADD) lets you automatically reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions paid by the Fund into the same class of another Hartford Fund. To establish, fill out the relevant portion of the account application and be sure that the accounts involved have identical registrations.

· Duplicate Account Statements You may request copies of annual account summaries by calling 1-888-843-7824. A $20 fee may be charged for account summaries older than the preceding year.

· Duplicate Copies Of Materials To Households Generally the Fund will mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual report, semi-annual report and proxy statement to shareholders having the same last name and address on the Fund’s records. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through reduced mailing expenses. If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call us at 1-888-843-7824. You may also notify us in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and proxy statements will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after we receive your request to stop householding.

Hartford Funds may stop your Automatic Investment Plan, Systematic Withdrawal Plan or Dollar Cost Averaging Program if we are unable to obtain an accurate address for your account.

Uncashed Checks Issued on Your Account

The Fund reserves the right to: Reinvest any amounts (e.g., dividends, distributions or redemption proceeds) which you have elected to receive by check should your check remain uncashed for more than 180 days. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed checks. Your check will be reinvested in your account at the NAV on the day of the reinvestment. When reinvested, those amounts are subject to the risk of loss like any Fund investment. If you elect to receive distributions in cash and a check remains uncashed for more than 180 days, your cash election may be changed automatically to reinvest and your future dividend and capital gains distributions will be reinvested in the Fund at the NAV as of the date of payment of the distribution. This provision may not apply to certain retirement or qualified accounts, accounts with a non-U.S. address or closed accounts. Your participation in a systematic withdrawal program may be terminated if a check remains uncashed.

Retirement Plans Hartford Funds are available through a range of retirement plans, including traditional and Roth IRAs, SIMPLE plans, SEPs and 401(k) plans. Using these plans, you can invest in any Hartford Fund. Minimum investment amounts may apply. To find out more, call 1-888-843-7824.

If you open a retirement account (including traditional and Roth IRAs, SIMPLE plans, or SEPs) or a Coverdell Educational Savings Account (“Coverdell Accounts”) through Hartford Funds, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”) will serve as the custodian of that account. Retirement accounts and

Coverdell Accounts are charged an annual maintenance fee that is paid to State Street Bank, its affiliates or HASCO. These fees are in addition to the fees and expenses that you pay for investing in the Fund (set forth in the Fund’s fees and expenses table). Please refer to the Custodial Agreement & Disclosure Statement for your retirement account for information on applicable annual maintenance fees.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), serves as the principal underwriter for the Fund pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Shares of the Fund are continuously offered and sold by selected broker-dealers pursuant to selling agreements with HFD, and such broker-dealers may in turn designate and authorize other financial intermediaries to offer and sell Fund shares. Except as discussed below, HFD (and not the Fund) bears the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes, as well as any other advertising or sales literature. HFD is not obligated to sell any specific amount of Fund shares.

Distribution Plans — Class A and Class C

The Company, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a separate distribution plan (the “Plan”) for each of the Class A and Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable FINRA market conduct rules concerning asset-based sales charges.

Class A Plan Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund may compensate HFD for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing Class A shareholders. The expenses of the Fund pursuant to the Class A Plan are accrued on a fiscal year basis and may not exceed, with respect to the Class A shares of the Fund, the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder servicing expenses with the remainder, if any, used for distribution expenses. HFD or its affiliates are entitled to retain all service fees payable under the Class A Plan for which there is no dealer of record or for which qualification standards have not been met as partial consideration for personal services and/or account maintenance services performed by HFD or its affiliates for shareholder accounts.

Class C Plan Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares, 0.75% of which is a fee for distribution financing activities and 0.25% of which is for shareholder account services. HFD will advance to dealers the first-year service fee at a rate equal to 0.25% of the amount invested. As compensation for such advance, HFD may retain the service fee paid by the Fund with respect to such shares for the first year after purchase. Dealers will become eligible for additional service fees with respect to such shares commencing in the thirteenth month following purchase. Brokers may from time to time be required to meet certain other criteria in order to receive service fees. HFD or its affiliates are entitled to retain all service fees payable under the Class C Plan for which there is no dealer of record or for which qualification standards have not been met as partial consideration for personal services and/or account maintenance services performed by HFD or its affiliates for shareholder accounts. The Class C Plan also

provides that HFD will receive all contingent deferred sales charges attributable to Class C shares.

General Distribution fees paid to HFD may be spent on any activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the Fund’s shares including, but not limited to: (a) payment of initial and ongoing commissions and other compensation payments to brokers, dealers, financial institutions or others who sell the Fund’s shares, (b) compensation to employees of HFD, (c) compensation to and expenses, including overhead such as communications and telephone, training, supplies, photocopying and similar types of expenses, of HFD incurred in the printing and mailing or other dissemination of all prospectuses and statements of additional information, and (d) the costs of preparation, printing and mailing of reports used for sales literature and related expenses, advertisements and other distribution related expenses (including personnel of HFD). Service fees paid under the Plans are payments for the provision of personal service and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. These Plans are considered compensation type plans, which means that the Fund pays HFD the entire fee regardless of HFD’s expenditures. Even if HFD’s actual expenditures exceed the fee payable to HFD at any given time, the Fund will not be obligated to pay more than that fee.

In accordance with the terms of the Plans, HFD provides to the Fund, for review by the Company’s Board of Directors, a quarterly written report of the amounts expended under the respective Plans and the purpose for which such expenditures were made. In its quarterly review of the Plans, the Board of Directors reviews the level of compensation the Plans provide.

The Plans were adopted by a majority vote of the Board of Directors of the Company, including at least a majority of directors who are not, and were not at the time they voted, interested persons of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act and do not and did not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plans, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plans. In approving the Plans, the directors identified and considered a number of potential benefits that the Plans may provide to the Fund and its shareholders, including the potential to increase assets and possibly benefit from economies of scale, the potential to avoid a decrease in assets through redemption activity, the ability to sell shares of the Fund through adviser and broker distribution channels, and the ability to provide investors with an alternative to paying front end sales loads. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plans will benefit the Fund and its current and future shareholders. Under their terms, the Plans remain in effect from year to year provided such continuance is approved annually by vote of the directors of the Board in the manner described above. The Plans may not be amended to increase materially the amount to be spent for distribution without approval of the shareholders of each applicable class, and material amendments to the Plans must also be approved by the Board of Directors in the manner described above. A Plan may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by vote of the majority of the directors of the Board who are not interested persons of the Fund and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operations of the Plan, or by a vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the applicable class. A Plan will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment.

Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Other Entities

This section includes additional information about different types of compensation paid by HFD and/or its affiliates to financial intermediaries and other entities with respect to the Hartford Funds.

As explained in more detail below under the sections entitled “Additional Compensation Payments to Financial Intermediaries” and “Compensation to Servicing Intermediaries,” the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates (1) make payments out of their own assets to broker-dealers and financial institutions (“Financial Intermediaries”) to encourage the sale of Hartford Funds’ shares (“Additional Payments”) and/or (2) pay Financial Intermediaries and other intermediaries that provide certain services with respect to Hartford Funds (collectively, “Servicing Intermediaries”) compensation for sub-accounting, administrative and/or shareholder processing services (“Servicing Payments”).

The commissions, Rule 12b-1 payments, Additional Payments, Servicing Payments, and other payments may vary from one product to another. For this reason, (1) if your Financial Intermediary receives greater payments with respect to Hartford Funds than he or she receives with respect to other products, he or she may be more inclined to sell you shares of a Hartford Fund rather than another product and/or (2) if your Servicing Intermediary receives greater payments with respect to Hartford Funds, it may choose to provide services to Hartford Funds rather than to other investment products for which it may receive a lower payment.

Commissions and Rule 12b-1 Payments. HFD and/or its affiliates make a variety of payments to Financial Intermediaries that sell the shares of, and/or provide services to, Hartford Funds. HFD and/or its affiliates pay sales commissions and Rule 12b-1 fees to Financial Intermediaries. The Fund’s SAI includes information regarding these commission and Rule 12b-1 payments by share class.

Additional Compensation Payments to Financial Intermediaries. In addition to sales commissions and 12b-1 fees, the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates also make payments out of their own assets to Financial Intermediaries to encourage the sale of Hartford Funds’ shares (“Additional Payments”). These Additional Payments may give your Financial Intermediary a reason to sell and recommend Hartford Funds over other products for which he or she may receive less compensation. You may contact your Financial Intermediary if you want information regarding the payments it receives.

The amount of any Additional Payments made to a Financial Intermediary is generally based on one or more of the following criteria: (i) the average net assets of Hartford Funds that are attributed to that Financial Intermediary; (ii) the amount of Hartford Fund assets held for over one year by customers of that Financial Intermediary; (iii) the amount of Hartford Fund shares sold through that Financial Intermediary; and (iv) the mix of equity and fixed income funds sold through that Financial Intermediary. The annual amount of Additional Payments made to any one Financial Intermediary is normally not expected to (although it may from time to time) exceed 0.12% of the average net assets of Hartford Funds that are attributed to that Financial Intermediary. For the calendar year ended

December 31, 2014, the Investment Manager and its affiliates incurred approximately $39.3 million in total Additional Payments to Financial Intermediaries.

Additional Payments may be used for various purposes and take various forms, such as:

· Payments for putting Hartford Funds on a Financial Intermediary’s list of mutual funds available for purchase by its customers;

· Payments for including Hartford Funds within a group that receives special marketing focus or placing Hartford Funds on a “preferred list”;

· “Due diligence” payments for a Financial Intermediary’s examination of Hartford Funds and payments for providing extra employee training and information relating to Hartford Funds;

· “Marketing support fees” for providing assistance in promoting the sale of Hartford Fund shares;

· Sponsorships of sales contests and promotions where participants receive prizes such as travel awards, merchandise, cash or recognition;

· Provision of educational programs, including information and related support materials;

· Provision of computer hardware and software; and

· Occasional meals and entertainment, tickets to sporting events, nominal gifts and travel and lodging (subject to applicable rules and regulations).

As of January 1, 2015, the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates have entered into ongoing contractual arrangements to make Additional Payments to the Financial Intermediaries listed below: FSC Securities Corp.; Royal Alliance Associates, Inc.; Sagepoint Financial; Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc.; BancWest Investment Services; Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc.; Cambridge Investment Research Inc.; CCO Investment Services Corp.; Cetera Financial Group; Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.; Chase Investment Services Corp.; Commonwealth Financial Network; CUSO Financial Services, L.P.; Edward D. Jones & Co.; First Allied Securities, Inc.; First Citizens Investor Services, Inc.; Frost Brokerage Services, Inc.; H.D. Vest Investment Services.; Hilliard Lyons; Huntington Investment Co.; Investment Professionals, Inc.; Janney Montgomery Scott; Lincoln Financial Securities Corp.; Lincoln Financial Advisors Group; LPL Financial Corp.; M&T Securities Inc.; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated; Mid Atlantic Capital Corporation; Morgan Stanley Smith Barney; National Financial Services; Invest Financial Corporation; Investment Centers of America; National Planning Corporation; SII Investments Inc.; Newbridge Securities; NEXT Financial Group, Inc.; Oppenheimer & Co, Inc.; Pershing LLC; Raymond James & Associates Inc. and Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.; RBC Capital Markets Corporation; Robert W. Baird; Securities America, Inc.; Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc.; Summit Brokerage Services; Suntrust Investment Services; UBS Financial Services Inc.; U.S. Bancorp Investments Inc.; Voya Financial; and Wells Fargo. The Investment Manager and/or its affiliates may in the future enter into similar ongoing contractual arrangements with other Financial Intermediaries. Financial Intermediaries that received Additional Payments in 2014 for items such as

sponsorship of meetings, education seminars and travel and entertainment, but do not have an ongoing contractual relationship with HFD, are listed in the SAI.

Servicing Compensation to Servicing Intermediaries. The Investment Manager, HASCO and/or their affiliates pay Servicing Payments to Servicing Intermediaries. These Servicing Payments may cause a Servicing Intermediary to choose to provide services to Hartford Funds rather than to other investment products for which it may receive a lower payment. You may contact your Servicing Intermediary if you want additional information regarding any Servicing Payments it receives.

The amount of the Servicing Payments is generally based on average net assets of Hartford Funds that are attributed to a Servicing Intermediary. With certain limited exceptions, the annual amount of Servicing Payments made to any specific Servicing Intermediary is not expected to (although it may from time to time) exceed 0.21% of the average net assets of Hartford Funds that are attributed to that Servicing Intermediary. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Investment Manager, HASCO and/or their affiliates incurred approximately $8.0 million in total Servicing Payments and these Servicing Payments did not exceed $2.7 million for any one Servicing Intermediary.

Servicing Payments are also paid to certain Servicing Intermediaries by HASCO out of the transfer agency fees it receives from Hartford Funds. Although some of these payments are calculated based on average net assets of Hartford Funds that are attributed to the Servicing Intermediary, Servicing Intermediaries are generally paid a per account fee up to a maximum of $18 per account.

Servicing Intermediaries may also receive compensation for their services in the form of 12b-1 fees or administrative fees paid by the Hartford Funds.

Servicing Payments other than those paid out of transfer agent, 12b-1 or administrative fees are paid by the Investment Manager or its affiliates out of their own resources and not as an expense to or out of the assets of the Funds.

As of January 1, 2015, the Investment Manager, HASCO and/or their affiliates have entered into arrangements to pay Servicing Payments or makes Servicing Payments to the following entities: 401k ASP, Inc.; ACS HR Solutions, LLC; ADP Broker Dealer, Inc.; Alerus Financial; Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc.; Ascensus, Inc.; BB&T Securities; Benefit Plans Administrative Services, LLC; Benefit Trust Co.; BenefitStreet, Inc.; Capital Research and Management Company; Charles Schwab; CPI Qualified Plan Consultants, Inc.; Daily Access Corp.; D.A.

The Investment Manager, HASCO and/or their affiliates may in the future enter into similar arrangements with other Servicing Intermediaries.

FUND DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX MATTERS

Dividends and Distributions

The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders at least once a year. Capital gains of the Fund are normally declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income of the Fund are normally declared daily and paid monthly. The amount of any distribution may vary, and there is no guarantee the Fund will pay income dividends in any given month. Different classes may distribute different dividend amounts.

The Fund seeks to maintain a target rate of distribution for each month. In order to do so, the Fund may distribute less or more investment income than it earns on its investments each month. The Fund may use accrued undistributed investment income to fulfill distributions made during periods in which the Fund distributes more than the fund earns. Generally, distribution rates or yields from month to month may be impacted by accruals of undistributed income, changes in the Fund’s net asset value, changes in the number of accrual days, and adjustments for accounting purposes (including but not limited to changes in maturity dates of holdings and for currency gains or losses). The target rate of distribution is evaluated regularly and can change at any time. The target rate of distribution is not equivalent to the 30-day SEC yield of the Fund.

Generally, you begin earning dividends on Fund shares the day after the Fund receives your purchase payment. If a purchase order is placed through a broker, dealer or other financial firms authorized to settle through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “NSCC”), the purchase order will begin accruing dividends on the NSCC settlement date or as agreed upon and as allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Board of Directors has delegated authority to the Fund’s Treasurer to reduce the frequency with which dividends are declared and paid and to declare and make payments of long-term capital gains as permitted or required by law or in order to avoid tax penalties. Further, the Fund reserves the right to change its dividend distribution policy at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, all dividends and distributions received from the Fund are automatically reinvested in additional full or fractional shares of the Fund.

Unless your investment is in a tax-deferred account, you may want to avoid buying shares shortly before the Fund pays a dividend. The reason? If you buy shares when a fund has realized but not yet distributed taxable income or capital gains, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a taxable dividend. Before investing you may want to consult your tax advisor.

If you elect to receive dividends in cash, you will only receive a check if the dividend amount exceeds $10. If the dividend is $10 or less, the amount will automatically be reinvested in the Fund. If you would like to receive cash dividends, regardless of the amount, you can establish an electronic funds transfer to your bank. For assistance in establishing electronic funds transfer transactions, please call 1-888-843-7824.

Taxes On Distributions

The Fund intends to meet certain federal tax requirements so that distributions of tax-exempt income may be treated as exempt-interest dividends. These dividends are not subject to regular federal income tax. However, the fund may invest a portion of its assets in tax-exempt obligations subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Any portion of exempt-interest dividends attributable to interest on these obligations may increase some shareholders’ Alternative Minimum Tax. The Fund expects that its distributions will consist primarily of exempt-interest dividends. The Fund’s exempt-interest dividends may be subject to state or local taxes. Distributions paid from any interest income that is not tax-exempt and from any short-term or long-term capital gains will be taxable whether you reinvest those distributions or receive them in cash.

An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including taxable distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions of Fund shares) of individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s gross income, with certain adjustments, exceeds certain threshold amounts.

Tax exempt income received by a tax-deferred retirement account will generally be taxable when distributed from the tax-deferred retirement account. As a result, any retirement plan investor should consider whether the Fund is an appropriate investment. Tax-exempt income is included when determining whether Social Security and railroad retirement benefits are taxable

Taxability Of Transactions

Unless your shares are held in a tax-advantaged account, any time you sell or exchange shares, it is considered a taxable event for you. You may have a capital gain or a loss on the transaction that will be long-term or short-term, depending upon how long you held your shares. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transactions. Any loss realized upon the sale or exchange of Fund shares that you held for less than six months may be disallowed to the extent of any distributions treated as exempt-interest dividends with respect to such shares. Additionally, consult your tax advisor if you sell shares held for less than six months at a loss after receiving a long-term capital gain distribution from the Fund.

Under certain limited circumstances, shareholder may be able to exchange one class of shares for another class of shares of the same Fund. In general, exchanges of one share class for a different share class of the same fund should not result in the realization by the investor of a taxable capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that the transaction is undertaken and processed, with respect to any shareholder, as a direct exchange transaction. If the exchange results in a CDSC or sales charge, Fund shares may be redeemed to pay the charge, and that redemption would be taxable. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of an intra-fund exchange.

Exchanges within a tax-deferred retirement plan account will not result in a capital gain or loss for federal or state income tax purposes. With limited exceptions, distributions from a retirement plan account are taxable as ordinary income.

Additional Information

The Fund may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax (currently at the rate of 28%) of all distributions payable to you if you fail to provide the Fund with your correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications, or if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability.

IRS Regulations require the Fund to report to the IRS and furnish to shareholders the cost basis information and holding period for Fund shares purchased on or after January 1, 2012, and sold on or after that date. The Fund will permit shareholders to elect from among several cost basis methods accepted by the IRS, including average cost. In the absence of an election by a shareholder, the Fund will use the average cost method with respect to that shareholder. To elect a cost basis method other than the default method average cost, your request must be received in writing by completing the appropriate part of your account application, by completing “Cost Basis Method Election for Non-Qualified Mutual Fund Accounts” or submitted through our website at www.hartfordfunds.com. Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisors to determine the best cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about how the new cost basis reporting rules apply to them.

The Fund will generally be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the rate of 30% of all taxable distributions to you if you are a non-resident alien or foreign entity and there is no applicable tax treaty or if you are claiming reduced withholding under a tax treaty and you have not properly completed and signed the appropriate IRS Form W-8. You also must complete and send to us the appropriate IRS Form W-8 to certify your foreign status. Provided that the appropriate IRS Form W-8 is properly completed, long-term capital gains distributions and proceeds of sales are not subject to withholding for foreign shareholders.

Effective July 1, 2014, the Fund is required to withhold U.S. tax (at a 30% rate) on payments of taxable dividends and (effective January 1, 2017) redemption proceeds and certain capital gain dividends made to certain non-U.S. entities that fail to comply (or be deemed compliant) with extensive new reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. Shareholders may be requested to provide additional information to the Fund to enable the Fund to determine whether withholding is required.

Distributions from the Fund may also be subject to state, local and foreign taxes. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the particular tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

This section summarizes some of the consequences under current Federal tax law of an investment in the Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. Consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Fund under all applicable tax laws.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 25, 2011, Jennifer L. Kasilag, Louis Mellinger, Judith M. Menendez, Jacqueline M. Robinson, and Linda A. Russell filed a derivative lawsuit against Hartford Investment Financial Services, LLC (“HIFSCO”) (now known as Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC) on behalf of six Hartford retail mutual funds in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that HIFSCO received excessive advisory and distribution fees in violation of its statutory fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act when serving as investment manager and principal underwriter, respectively, to the Hartford retail mutual funds. Although this action was purportedly filed on behalf of certain of the Hartford Funds, none of the Hartford Funds is itself a defendant to the suit. HIFSCO moved to dismiss and, in September 2011, the motion was granted in part and denied in part, with leave to amend the complaint. In November 2011, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on behalf of certain Hartford retail mutual funds, The Hartford Global Health Fund (now known as The Hartford Healthcare Fund), The Hartford Conservative Allocation Fund, The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund, The Hartford Inflation Plus Fund, The Hartford Advisers Fund (now known as The Hartford Balanced Fund), and The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund. Plaintiffs seek to rescind the investment management agreements and distribution plans between HIFSCO and these funds and to recover the total fees charged thereunder or, in the alternative, to recover any improper compensation HIFSCO received, in addition to lost earnings. HIFSCO filed a partial motion to dismiss the amended complaint and, in December 2012, the court dismissed without prejudice the claims regarding distribution fees and denied the motion with respect to the advisory fees claims. In March 2014, the plaintiffs filed a new complaint that added as new plaintiffs The Hartford Floating Rate Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund and named as a defendant Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC, which assumed the role as investment manager to the funds as of January 2013. In March 2015, the plaintiffs filed a new complaint that removed The Hartford Small Company Fund as a plaintiff. Discovery is ongoing. Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC and HIFSCO dispute the allegations and expect to file a motion for summary judgment in the second quarter of 2015.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in investment grade municipal securities and non-investment grade municipal securities (known as “junk bonds”) that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), considers to be attractive from a yield perspective while considering total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that pay interest exempt from federal income tax, and the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-investment grade municipal securities. The Fund may invest in securities that produce income subject to income tax, including the Alternative Minimum Tax. The Fund may also invest in variable rate bonds known as “inverse floaters” that pay interest at rates that bear an inverse relationship to changes in short-term market interest rates.

The Fund will generally hold a diversified portfolio of investments across states and sectors, although the Fund is not required to invest in all states and sectors at all times.

The Fund normally will maintain a dollar weighted average duration equivalent to that of the Barclays Municipal Bond Short 1-5 Year Index, plus or minus two years. (Historically, the average duration of the Barclays Municipal Bond Short 1-5 Year Index is 2.7 years.) Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s price to changes in interest rates. The Fund’s average duration measure incorporates a bond’s yield, coupon, final maturity, and the effect of derivatives that may be used to manage the Fund’s interest rate risk.

Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security or other instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due.

The Fund is subject to certain other risks, which are described elsewhere in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING RISKS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The Fund seeks to provide current income that is generally exempt from federal income taxes, and long-term total return.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in investment grade municipal securities and non-investment grade municipal securities (known as “junk bonds”) that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), considers to be attractive from a yield perspective while considering total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that pay interest exempt from federal income tax, and the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-investment grade municipal securities. The Fund may invest in securities that produce income subject to income tax, including the Alternative Minimum Tax. The Fund may also invest in variable rate bonds known as “inverse floaters” that pay interest at rates that bear an inverse relationship to changes in short-term market interest rates. The Fund will generally hold a diversified portfolio of investments across states and sectors, although the Fund is not required to invest in all states and sectors at all times.
