THE HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.,

ON BEHALF OF THE HARTFORD GLOBAL ALL-ASSET FUND

[August 15, 2019]

Dear Shareholder:

At a meeting held on May 1, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) that provides for the reorganization of The Hartford Global All-Asset Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of the Company, with and into the Hartford AARP Balanced Retirement Fund (the “Acquiring Fund” and, collectively, with the Acquired Fund, the “Funds”), another series of the Company (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization does not require shareholder approval. The Reorganization is expected to occur after the close of business on September 20, 2019 (or at such earlier or later date as determined by an officer of the Company (the “Closing Date”), at which time you will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund of the same class and of equivalent dollar value to your shares in the Acquired Fund, based on the net asset value of each Fund as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date.

After carefully considering the merits of the Reorganization, the Board determined that combining the Funds is in the best interests of each Fund. In connection with the Reorganization, you should note the following:

· The Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction;

· The value of your investment will not change as a result of the Reorganization;

· The shareholders of the Acquired Fund are expected to benefit from lower management fees and expenses following the Reorganization; and

· The Reorganization is also expected to provide shareholders of both Funds with the opportunity to potentially benefit from economies of scale.

The Plan provides for:

· the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund that have an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date;

· the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; and

· the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund.

The Acquired Fund was closed to new investors effective June 7, 2019. Existing shareholders are permitted to purchase additional shares of the Acquired Fund until the Closing Date, but any purchase request that cannot be settled prior to the Closing Date will be deemed to be, and will be processed as, a purchase request for shares of the Acquiring Fund.

The Reorganization does not require shareholder approval, and you are not being asked to vote or take any other action in connection with the Reorganization. We do, however, ask that you review the enclosed Combined Information Statement/Prospectus (the “Information Statement/Prospectus”), which contains information about the Acquiring Fund, including its investment objective, strategies, risks, performance, fees and expenses. At the completion of the Reorganization, your investment in the Acquired Fund will automatically be invested in the Acquiring Fund, which has a similar investment objective, and comparable principal investment strategies and principal risks, as explained in the attached materials.

Enclosed is an Information Statement/Prospectus, which provides details of the Reorganization. If you have any questions, please call the Funds at 1-888-843-7824.

Sincerely,

James E. Davey

President and Chief Executive Officer

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

The questions and answers below provide an overview of key points typically of interest to shareholders regarding a mutual fund reorganization. These questions and answers are intentionally brief to provide a concise summary. The responses are qualified in their entirety by the remainder of the enclosed Combined Information Statement/Prospectus (“Information Statement/Prospectus”), which contains additional information and further details about the reorganization. We encourage you to read the full Information Statement/Prospectus.

General Information About the Reorganization

Q. 1. Why am I receiving the Information Statement/Prospectus?

A. 1. The Hartford Global All-Asset Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) is being reorganized with and into the Hartford AARP Balanced Retirement Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) (the “Reorganization”). You are receiving this Information Statement/Prospectus because you were a shareholder of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on July 31, 2019 (the “Record Date”) and so that we can provide you with details about the Reorganization. The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are referred to herein as the “Funds.” Each of the Funds is a separate series of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”). The Acquiring Fund, following completion of the Reorganization, may be referred to as the “Combined Fund.” The Information Statement/Prospectus provides information about the Acquiring Fund that shareholders should know when evaluating the Reorganization. We suggest that you keep the Information Statement/Prospectus for your records and future reference.

Q. 2. How did the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company reach its decision to approve the Reorganization?

A. 2. In determining whether to approve the Reorganization, the Board considered, among other things, the potential impact of the Reorganization on each Fund’s shareholders and a variety of related factors. Such factors included, among others: (1) the similarities and differences of each Fund’s investment objective, investment strategies, investment process, and principal risks; (2) the continuity provided by the fact that the Funds have the same investment adviser and sub-adviser; (3) the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) include provisions that are designed to avoid any dilution of shareholder interests; (4) the costs of the Reorganization and the portion of those costs that the Funds will bear; (5) the Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under federal tax laws; (6) the contractual management fees and expense limitation arrangements of the Acquiring Fund are lower than the contractual management fees and expense limitation arrangements of the Acquired Fund; (7) the pro forma gross and net operating expenses of each share class of the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization are estimated to be lower than the current gross and net operating expenses of each corresponding share class of the Acquired Fund; (8) the anticipated benefits expected to be derived from the recent changes to the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective, investment strategy, portfolio construction process, and risk management techniques and the Acquired Fund’s continued difficulty in increasing its assets; (9) the increase in assets of the Acquiring Fund, which may result in the Acquiring Fund realizing economies of scale with possible beneficial effects on the Acquiring Fund’s expense ratio; and (10) the potentially greater distribution opportunities and portfolio management efficiencies that may benefit each Fund’s shareholders; and (11) the alternatives to the Reorganization. The Board also considered that the Reorganization does not require, and would be completed without incurring the costs associated with holding a special meeting of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders. After careful consideration of these and other factors, the Board determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund and that the interests of the shareholders of each Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

Q. 3. Why are shareholders not being asked to approve the Reorganization?

A. 3. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the Reorganization does not require the approval of shareholders. In addition, in adopting a rule governing reorganizations of affiliated investment companies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stated its view that approval by shareholders of an acquired fund would be required if the reorganization would result in a change that, in a context other than a reorganization, would require the approval of the acquired fund’s shareholders under applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The types of changes to an acquired fund resulting from a reorganization that would require the approval by the acquired fund’s shareholders generally include different directors, materially different advisory contracts, materially different fundamental

investment policies, or increased distribution fees. None of the factors requiring a shareholder vote are present in the Reorganization of the Acquired Fund into the Acquiring Fund.

Q. 4. Who will bear the costs of the Reorganization?

A. 4. Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), and not the Funds, will bear all costs associated with the Reorganization. These costs do not include brokerage expenses or similar transaction costs incurred in connection with portfolio repositioning (i.e., on the sale and purchase of portfolio securities), which typically is a Fund expense. Each Fund will bear its own brokerage or other similar transaction costs, as applicable. It currently is estimated that the Acquired Fund will incur approximately $15,000 (including stamp taxes) in such costs prior to the Reorganization. In addition, it is expected that the Combined Fund will incur additional brokerage and other transaction costs after the Reorganization to further realign the Combined Fund’s investment portfolio. It currently is estimated that these post-Reorganization brokerage and other transaction costs will be approximately $290,000. These are only estimates and the actual amount of brokerage commissions and other transaction costs may differ.

Q. 5. How will the Reorganization affect me as a Shareholder?

A. 5. The Reorganization is expected to occur after the close of business on September 20, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), at which time shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund. Specifically, shareholders of Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares, respectively, of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund that are equal in value to their shares in the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The number of shares you receive will depend on the relative net asset value of the Funds’ shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. Thus, although the aggregate net asset value of the shares in your account will be the same immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date, you may receive a greater or lesser number of shares than you currently hold in the Acquired Fund.

Based on assets as of April 30, 2019, it is expected that a portion of the Acquired Fund’s portfolio assets (approximately 25%) will be sold prior to the consummation of the Reorganization, which is expected to result in the Acquired Fund realizing capital gains. Taking into account unrealized short-term and long-term losses and that there are capital loss carryforwards available to offset realized gains, it is currently anticipated that the Acquired Fund will not distribute capital gains to its shareholders as a result of the repositioning (based on assets as of April 30, 2019). Shareholders holding shares of the Acquired Fund in a taxable account generally will be taxed on any resulting capital gain distributions if the Acquired Fund actually distributes such capital gains. As discussed in response to Question 4 above, the portfolio repositioning before and after the Reorganization will result in brokerage and other transaction costs. The actual amounts of any distributions and the actual amount of transaction costs may change at the time of the Reorganization based on market conditions and other factors.

Q. 6. Can I exchange or redeem my Acquired Fund shares before the Reorganization takes place?

A. 6. Yes. You may exchange your Acquired Fund shares, as described in the Acquired Fund’s prospectus, for shares of another Hartford Fund, before the Reorganization takes place. You may also redeem your shares at any time before the Reorganization takes place, as set forth in the Acquired Fund’s prospectus. Such transactions will be treated as normal exchanges or redemptions of shares and may be taxable.

Q. 7. Can I purchase additional shares of the Acquired Fund shares before the Reorganization takes place?

A. 7. The Acquired Fund was closed to new investors effective June 7, 2019. Existing shareholders will be able to purchase additional shares of the Acquired Fund until the Closing Date. Any request by an existing shareholder to purchase additional shares of the Acquired Fund that is received in good order but cannot be settled prior to the Closing Date will be deemed to be, and will be processed as, a purchase request for shares of the Acquiring Fund. After the Closing Date, shares of the Acquired Fund will no longer be publicly offered or available for purchase.

General Information About the Funds

Q. 8. How comparable are the Funds’ investment objectives and investment strategies?

A. 8. The Funds have similar investment objectives. The Acquired Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return while seeking to mitigate downside risk.

Each Fund invests in a broad range of equity securities, fixed income securities, derivatives and other investments using asset allocation strategies. The Acquired Fund may seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets by investing up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly owned subsidiary of the Acquiring Fund formed in the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). The Acquired Fund targets an allocation of approximately 60% of its net assets in equity investments and 40% of its net assets in fixed income investments, with the allocation generally varying by no more than 20% above or below these target allocations. The Acquired Fund’s investment in shares of the Subsidiary is not counted for purposes of determining the Acquired Fund’s equity allocation. From time to time, the Acquired Fund may vary its target allocation in order to provide exposure to the investment returns of real assets that trade in the commodity markets. Asset allocation decisions within these bands are at the discretion of the Acquired Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”), and are based on Wellington Management’s judgment of relative fundamental values, the attractiveness of investment opportunities within each asset category, macroeconomic trends, and expected future returns of other investment opportunities.

Under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund targets an allocation between 30%-50% of the Acquiring Fund’s net assets in equity and equity-related securities and 50%-70% of the Acquiring Fund’s net assets in fixed income securities and cash instruments. Wellington Management, the Acquiring Fund’s sub-adviser, makes asset allocation decisions within these bands at its discretion. Wellington Management regularly reviews and adjusts the asset allocations based on its fundamental research and assessment on the relative attractiveness of each asset category. To implement its asset allocation decisions, the Acquiring Fund’s portfolio management team may allocate a portion of Acquiring Fund assets to active strategies managed by specialized investment teams at Wellington Management that will invest the allocated assets in accordance with the Acquiring Fund’s investment strategy. The Acquiring Fund may invest in other investment companies for which HFMC or its affiliates serves as investment manager (“Affiliated Funds”), including Affiliated Funds for which Wellington Management serves as sub-adviser. The Acquiring Fund may also invest in other investment companies that are not affiliated with HFMC.

The Acquiring Fund recently changed its name and portfolio management team and adopted a new, investment objective, investment strategy, portfolio construction process, and risk management techniques. The Acquiring Fund adopted these changes on July 10, 2019. Accordingly, the Acquiring Fund did not yet have a performance record based on its new investment mandate as of that date, but HFMC believes that these changes to the Acquiring Fund potentially will provide favorable risk-adjusted returns and lower volatility. Accordingly, any comparison of each Fund’s performance record would not reflect the performance of the Acquiring Fund based on its current investment objective, investment strategy, and overall investment and risk management process.

Each Fund may invest in securities that principally trade in the U.S. or foreign markets. Under normal circumstances, the Acquired Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets in foreign securities or derivative instruments or other investments with exposure to foreign securities of at least three different countries outside the U.S. The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers or securities denominated in a foreign currency.

For more information regarding each Fund’s investment strategies, please see the section entitled “Comparison of the Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Fundamental Investment Restrictions” in the Information Statement/Prospectus.

Q. 9. How comparable are the Funds’ principal risks?

A. 9. The Funds are subject to substantially similar principal risks; however, the degree to which each Fund is subject to any particular investment risk will depend on the extent to which the Fund is invested in a particular security or types of securities that expose the Fund to such risk. In addition, the Acquiring Fund is subject to the risk associated with the fact that the Acquiring Fund’s new investment and risk management process has been carefully developed but not yet implemented in managing the Acquiring Fund other than for a very short period. The principal risks of investing in each Fund are identified in the section entitled “COMPARISON OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS” in the Information Statement/Prospectus.

Q. 10. Who are the Adviser and Sub-Adviser of the Acquiring Fund?

A. 10. The investment adviser of the Acquiring Fund, HFMC, is also the investment adviser of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management, is also the sub-adviser of the Acquired Fund. HFMC and Wellington Management will continue to serve as the Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, after the closing of the Reorganization.

Q. 11. Is the Acquiring Fund affiliated with AARP?

A. 11. No. HFMC and the Company have entered into a licensing arrangement with AARP, which receives a royalty from HFMC out of its own resources for licensing its brand to the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund is managed by HFMC, an investment adviser registered with the SEC and distributed by Hartford Funds Distributor, LLC, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and an affiliate of HFMC. HFMC and its affiliates are not affiliated with AARP or its affiliates. AARP and its affiliates are not broker-dealers or investment advisers and are not acting in any such capacity with respect to the Acquiring Fund. AARP and its affiliates do not offer, recommend, or endorse the Acquiring Fund, HFMC, or any of its affiliates, and are not making any recommendations regarding an investment in the Acquiring Fund.

Q. 12. Will the Plan result in different expenses for shareholders of the Acquired Fund?

A. 12. Yes. The Acquiring Fund has different expenses than the Acquired Fund. It is anticipated that, immediately following the Reorganization, shareholders of the Combined Fund will incur lower actual management fees (i.e., the management fee rate payable calculated based on a fund’s asset level, excluding the assets of the investments in the Affiliated Funds) than the shareholders of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization. The net expense ratios of the Combined Fund immediately after the Reorganization are expected to be lower than the corresponding expense ratios of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization. For more information on fees and expenses, see the section entitled “COMPARISON OF FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE ACQUIRED FUND AND THE ACQUIRING FUND” in the Information Statement/Prospectus.

Q. 13. Will I have to pay any front-end sales charges, contingent deferred sales charges or redemption/exchange fees in connection with the Reorganization?

A. 13. No. You will not have to pay any front-end sales charges, contingent deferred sales charges or redemption/exchange fees in connection with the Reorganization.

Q. 14. How do the share purchase, redemption and exchange procedures of the Acquiring Fund compare to those of the Acquired Fund?

A. 14. Although certain classes of the Acquiring Fund are currently closed to certain new investors, after the completion of the Reorganization you will be able to continue to purchase, redeem and exchange shares of the Acquiring Fund in the same class of shares and in the manner as you could with respect to the Acquired Fund.

Q. 15. Will the Reorganization be considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes?

A. 15. It is anticipated that the Reorganization will qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization. Accordingly, neither the Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund, nor the shareholders of the Funds are expected to recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes from the transactions described in the Plan. As discussed more fully in response to Question No. 5 above, the Acquired Fund is expected to sell certain assets in anticipation of the Reorganization. Sales of the Acquired Fund’s assets will result in the Acquired Fund realizing capital gains; however, it currently is expected that, based on assets as of the Acquired Fund’s most recent semi-annual period ended on April 30, 2019, the Acquired Fund will have a sufficient amount of capital losses to offset any such capital gain and the Acquired Fund will not be

required to make a capital gains distribution to its shareholders prior to the Reorganization. This analysis is based on assets of April 30, 2019, and is subject to change as of the completion of the Reorganization.

Important additional information about the Reorganization is set forth in the accompanying Information Statement/Prospectus. Please read it carefully.

SYNOPSIS

You should read this entire Combined Information Statement/Prospectus (the “Information Statement/Prospectus”) carefully as well as the summary prospectus for the Hartford AARP Balanced Retirement Fund (“Acquiring Fund”), which is enclosed. For additional information, you should consult the Funds’ Prospectus dated March 1, 2019, as may be amended, supplemented or restated (the “Prospectus”); the Combined Statement of Additional Information of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. dated March 1, 2019, as may be amended, supplemented or restated (the “SAI”); and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). A form of the Plan is attached hereto as APPENDIX A.

The Reorganization

At a meeting held on May 1, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company reviewed a proposal from Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) regarding the future of The Hartford Global All-Asset Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), given, among other reasons, HFMC’s belief that the Acquired Fund would not be likely to experience meaningful future net inflows or growth in assets. Although the Acquired Fund is larger than the Acquiring Fund, the Acquired Fund has not experienced a growth in assets in since its inception. For the reasons set forth herein, the Board approved the Plan that provides for the reorganization of the Acquired Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization does not require shareholder approval. The Reorganization is expected to occur after the close of business on September 20, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), at which time you will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund of the same class and of equal value to your shares in the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on the Closing Date (as defined below).

The Plan provides for:

· the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund that have an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date for the Reorganization;

· the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; and

· the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund.

The Reorganization is expected to be completed after the close of business on the Closing Date based on the net asset value of each Fund’s shares as of 4:00 pm on the Closing Date. The Acquiring Fund, following completion of the Reorganization, may be referred to as the “Combined Fund.” The Acquired Fund was closed to new investors effective June 7, 2019. Existing shareholders will be able to purchase additional shares of the Acquired Fund until the Closing Date. Any request by an existing shareholder to purchase additional shares of the Acquired Fund that is received in good order but cannot be settled prior to the Closing Date will be deemed to be, and will be processed as, a purchase request for shares of the Acquiring Fund.

Each shareholder will hold, immediately after the Closing Date, shares of the same class of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the same class of shares of the Acquired Fund held by that shareholder as of the close of business on the Closing Date. The Reorganization does not require shareholder approval, and you are not being asked to vote or take any other action in connection with the Reorganization. Upon completion of the Reorganization, your investment in the Acquired Fund will automatically be invested in the Acquiring Fund, which has a similar investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks, but there are some differences, which are explained below.

The Plan provides for the reorganization of the Acquired Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares issued by the Acquiring Fund. The net asset value of the Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares, respectively, issued by the Acquiring Fund in connection with the Reorganization will be equal at the time of the Reorganization to the net asset value of the Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares, respectively, of the Acquired Fund. As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will cease to be a shareholder of that Fund and will instead become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund and will own that number of full and fractional Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares of the Acquiring Fund that have an aggregate net asset value at the time of the Reorganization equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares, respectively, of the Acquired Fund that were held by that shareholder at the Closing Date.

The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund anticipate receiving a tax opinion from Dechert LLP, legal counsel to the Company, to the effect that, based on certain facts, assumptions and representations, the Reorganization will be a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Consequently, in general, no gain or loss is expected to be recognized for federal income tax purposes by the Acquired Fund or its shareholders as a result of the Reorganization. The Acquired Fund is expected to sell certain assets in anticipation of the Reorganization. Sales of the Acquired Fund’s assets are expected to result in taxable gains to the Fund’s shareholders, as well as increased transaction costs regardless of the fact that the

Reorganization itself is expected to be tax free. Additional information about the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization is included under “ADDITIONAL Information About the Reorganization – Tax Considerations.”

Comparison of the Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Fundamental Investment Restrictions

The investment objective of each Fund is similar. The Acquired Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return, whereas the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return while seeking to mitigate downside risk. Each Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board without approval of the shareholders of the Fund. The principal investment strategies of each Fund are comparable, but there are some differences, as noted below.

There are differences in each Fund’s principal investment strategies that you should consider.

· The Acquired Fund normally seeks to maintain an allocation of 60% of its net assets invested in equity securities and 40% of its net assets in fixed income securities. The Acquired Fund generally seeks to limit the variance of these target allocations to no more than 20%. In accordance with this variance, the Acquired Fund generally seeks to maintain an allocation of at least 40% but no more than 80% to equity securities and at least 20% but no more than 60% to fixed income securities. In comparison, the Acquiring Fund normally targets an allocation between 30%-50% of the Fund’s net assets in equity and equity-related securities and 50%-70% of the Fund’s net assets in fixed income securities and cash instruments.

· The Acquired Fund normally invests at least 40% of its net assets in foreign securities or derivative instruments with exposure to foreign securities of at least three different countries outside the United States. During periods of unfavorable market conditions or under unusual circumstances, the Acquired Fund may reduce its investments in foreign securities to 30%. In comparison, the Acquiring Fund generally may invest up to 40% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers or securities denominated in a foreign currency.

· The Acquired Fund has the ability to invest up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund formed in the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”) in order to gain exposure to certain commodity markets. The Acquiring Fund does not invest in this manner.

· The Acquiring Fund may invest in other investment companies and generally expects to invest approximately 25% of its assets in one or more other registered investment companies for which HFMC serves as the investment manager (“Affiliated Funds”), including Affiliated Funds for which Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington Management”) serves as sub-adviser. Other Affiliated Funds may have a different sub-adviser. The 25% allocation of investments in Affiliated Funds is a target and the Acquiring Fund’s actual allocation to one or more Affiliated Funds may vary over time and from time-to-time. The Acquired Fund does not invest in this manner.

· The Acquired Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, including gaining investment exposure. The Acquiring Fund normally will maintain equity put options to mitigate the risks of declines in the equity markets. The Acquiring Fund may use derivative instruments for other purposes as well.

Each Fund has adopted identical fundamental investment restrictions.

The following comparisons summarize the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of each Fund.

	Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund
Investment Objective	The Fund seeks to provide long-term total return.	The Fund seeks long-term total return while seeking to mitigate downside risk.
Principal Investment Strategies	The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diverse portfolio of securities and other investments of issuers across a broad range of countries and asset categories. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities, fixed-income securities and certain other investments, including, but not limited to, currencies and derivative instruments as well as cash. The Fund may invest in all types of equity securities of any market capitalization including, but not limited to, common stock, preferred stock, depository receipts, and index-related securities (including exchange traded funds). The Fund may invest in all types of debt securities of any maturity or duration, including, but not limited to, investment and non-investment grade corporate debt (also referred to as “junk bonds”), U.S. and foreign sovereign debt, agency debt, and mortgage and asset backed securities. The Fund may use derivatives (including futures contracts, forward currency contracts, options and swap agreements) in pursuit of its	The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a broad range of equity and equity-related securities, debt securities, structured products, derivatives, money market instruments, and other investments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund targets an allocation between 30%-50% of the Fund’s net assets in equity and equity-related securities and 50%-70% of the Fund’s net assets in fixed income securities and cash instruments. Wellington Management the Fund’s sub-adviser, makes asset allocation decisions within these bands at its discretion. Wellington Management regularly reviews and adjusts the asset allocations based on its fundamental research and assessment on the relative attractiveness of each asset category. The Fund may invest in securities that principally trade in the U.S. or foreign markets. The Fund generally may invest up to 40% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers or securities denominated in a foreign currency. The Fund may

investment objective, to manage portfolio risk and/or to replicate securities the Fund could buy. The Fund may actively manage currency exposure through the use of futures, forwards, options, swaps, and spot transactions. The Fund may invest in securities of companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets. The Fund may from time to time seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets by investing up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. In connection with its investment in certain securities and derivative instruments, the Fund may hold cash or liquid securities that can be readily converted into cash. The Fund targets an allocation of approximately 60% of its net assets in equity investments and 40% of its net assets in fixed income investments, with the allocation generally varying by no more than +/-20% around these weights. The Fund’s investment in shares of the Subsidiary is not counted for purposes of determining the Fund’s equity allocation. From time to time, the Fund may vary its target allocation in order to provide exposure to the investment returns of real assets that trade in the commodity markets. Asset allocation decisions within these bands are at the discretion of the Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management, and are based on Wellington Management’s judgment of relative fundamental values, the attractiveness of investment opportunities within each asset category, macroeconomic trends, and expected future returns of other investment opportunities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets in foreign securities or derivative instruments or other investments with exposure to foreign securities of at least three different countries outside the United States. During periods of unfavorable market conditions, the Fund may reduce its exposure to foreign securities, but typically will continue to invest at least 30% of its net assets in foreign securities as described above. Investments are deemed to be “foreign” if: (a) an issuer’s domicile or location of headquarters is in a foreign country; (b) an issuer derives a significant proportion (at least 50%) of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in a foreign country or has at least 50% of its assets situated in a foreign country; (c) the principal trading market for a security is located in a foreign country; or (d) it is a foreign currency. Asset allocation decisions are actively managed, and at times, may have a contrarian bias. As part of the asset allocation decision making process, Wellington Management implements global thematic ideas based on macroeconomic and structural trends derived from its research. The portfolio managers may choose to implement these ideas by allocating a portion of the Fund’s assets to active strategies managed by specialized investment teams at Wellington Management that invest the Fund's assets in accordance with the Fund's investment strategy. As the Closing Date approaches, the Acquired Fund anticipates engaging in transition management techniques in connection with the Reorganization. During this time,

invest in equity and equity-related securities of issuers of all sizes measured by market capitalization. The Fund may invest in debt securities across varying credit quality, maturity, and duration, including investment grade debt, high yield debt, bank loans, emerging markets debt, securitized debt, convertible securities, preferred securities, government bonds, including its agencies and instrumentalities, currencies, and municipal bonds. Consistent with its investment objective, the Fund may invest in investment grade debt, non-investment grade securities (also known as “junk bonds”) and unrated securities. The Fund may buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivative instruments. The Fund’s derivative investments may include interest rate, credit, index, and currency futures; currency, interest rate, total rate of return, and credit default swaps; currency, bond, and swap options; deliverable and non-deliverable currency forward contracts; bonds for forward settlement; and options, including buying and selling puts and calls. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments for risk management purposes and in pursuit of the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund expects to invest in equity put options as a part of its risk management component of the Fund’s investment strategy. Wellington Management actively manages the Fund’s asset allocations among asset classes consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. To implement its asset allocation decisions, the Fund’s portfolio management team may allocate a portion of Fund assets to active strategies managed by specialized investment teams at Wellington Management that will invest the allocated assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment strategy. The Fund may invest in other investment companies sponsored HFMC, including investment companies for which Wellington Management serves as sub-adviser, or non-affiliated investment companies.

	the Acquired Fund may not pursue its investment objective and principal investment strategies.
Additional Investment Strategies	In addition to the securities described in the summary section, the equity portion of the Fund may also invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts, convertible bonds, rights, and warrants of companies of any market capitalization. In addition to the securities described in the summary section, the fixed income portion of the Fund may also enter into bond forwards. In pursuit of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may also invest in exchange traded notes, other investment companies (including exchange traded funds), and restricted securities. The Fund may seek to provide exposure to the investment returns of real assets that trade in the commodity markets through investment in commodity-linked derivative instruments and investment vehicles that primarily invest in precious metals or other commodities, such as exchange traded funds, which are designed to provide this exposure without direct investment in physical commodities or commodities futures contracts. The Fund may also gain exposure to commodity markets by investing up to 25% of its total assets in The Hartford Cayman Global All-Asset Fund, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund formed in the Cayman Islands, which invests primarily in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary (unlike the Fund) may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments, including commodities futures contracts. The Fund has no limit on the amount of assets that may be invested in each country. Wellington Management may also consider certain environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) factors during its assessment of whether to purchase or sell securities for the equity and fixed income portions of the Fund. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts, who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools.	The Fund allocates its assets among a broad range of investments. Wellington Management actively manages the Fund’s asset allocation in accordance with its investment strategy. Wellington Management combines top-down global macroeconomic and currency views with bottom-up fundamental research from specialized investment teams to seek to identify what Wellington Management believes to be the most attractive investment opportunities in the global fixed income and equity markets. Wellington Management uses both fundamental and quantitative risk management tools to identify the investment opportunities and construct the portfolio. The Fund’s portfolio management team regularly consults with portfolio analysts and risk specialists at Wellington Management. Investment opportunities are expressed in the Fund in various ways, including at times thematically. A portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in securities that Wellington Management believes exhibit low volatility. As part of its fundamental analysis, Wellington Management may also consider certain environmental, social and/or governance factors during its assessment. Wellington Management may also consider the research provided by its Global Industry Analysts, who provide in-depth company analysis by sector coverage, in addition to other resources and tools. In addition to the types of securities and other investments referenced in the principal investment strategies section above, the Fund may also (1) invest in “to-be-announced” investments, including when-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitment transactions; (2) engage in short-selling of “to-be-announced” investments; (3) enter into bond forwards; and (4) invest in exchange traded notes.

The Funds are subject to substantially similar principal risks; however, the degree to which each Fund is subject to any particular investment risk will depend on the extent to which the Fund is invested in a particular security or types of securities that expose the Fund to such risk. The principal risks of investing in each Fund are identified in the “COMPARISON OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS” section below.

Comparison of Fund Classes and Distribution Arrangements

Each Fund offers the same classes of shares. Shareholders of Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares, respectively, of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund, which will have substantially identical legal characteristics as the corresponding shares of the Acquired Fund with respect to such matters as voting rights, accessibility, conversion rights, and transferability. Each Fund is organized as a series of a Maryland corporation. There are no material differences between the rights of shareholders of a class of shares of the Acquiring Fund and shareholders of a corresponding class of the Acquired Fund. The following chart summarizes the different features of each share class of each Fund.

	Front End Sales Charge	Deferred Sales Charge (Load)	Distribution and Service  (12b-1) Fees(1)
Class A	Acquired Fund:  Class A shares are offered with a front-end sales charge ranging from 5.50% to 0.00% of the Fund’s offering price, depending on the amount invested.	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	0.25%

(3) You may be required to pay a commission to your financial intermediary when buying or selling Class I, Class R6, Class Y, or Class F shares

Comparison of Buying, Selling, and Exchanging Shares

Although certain classes of the Acquiring Fund are currently closed to certain new investors, after the closing of the Reorganization you will be able to continue to purchase, redeem and exchange shares of the Acquiring Fund in the same manner as you could with respect to the Acquired Fund. Not all share classes are available for all investors. Minimum investment amounts may be waived for certain accounts. Certain financial intermediaries may impose different restrictions than those described below.

Share Classes	Minimum Initial Investment	Minimum Subsequent Investment
Class A, Class C and Class I	Acquired Fund: $5,000 for all accounts except: $250, if establishing an Automatic Investment Plan, with recurring monthly investments of at least $50 Acquiring Fund: $2,000 for all accounts except: $250, if establishing an Automatic Investment Plan, with recurring monthly investments of at least $50	$50

Comparison of Fund Distributions

Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders at least once a year. Capital gains of each Fund are normally declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income of the Acquired Fund are normally declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income of the Acquiring Fund are normally declared and paid monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Board 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, each Fund reserves the right to change its dividend distribution policy at the discretion of its Board. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, all dividends and distributions received from a Fund are automatically reinvested in

5

additional full or fractional shares of that Fund.

COMPARISON OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS

The table below compares the principal risks of each Fund. 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 a 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 a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Each Fund is subject to certain operational risks and other risks inherent in maintaining an investment in a mutual fund. The table below compares the principal risks of each Fund’s principal investment strategy. In addition, effective July 10, 2019, the Acquiring Fund adopted a new investment objective and investment strategy and changed its portfolio management team, which employs a portfolio construction process and risk management techniques that have been carefully developed but not yet implemented in managing the Fund as of that date.

Principal Risks	Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund
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 of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets.	Yes	Yes
Asset Allocation Risk − The risk that if the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among different does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with similar investment strategies.	Yes	Yes
Active Investment Management Risk−The risk that, if the sub-adviser’s investment strategy, including allocating assets to specialist portfolio managers, does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. The investment styles employed by the specialist portfolio managers may not be complementary, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.	Yes	Yes
Foreign Investments Risk − Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than investments in U.S. securities.  Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), may affect the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign securities. Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Fund’s foreign investments. Certain European countries in which the Fund may invest have recently experienced significant volatility in financial markets and may continue to do so in the future. The impact of the United Kingdom’s intended departure from the European Union, commonly known as “Brexit,” and the potential departure of one or more other countries from the European Union may have significant political and financial consequences for global markets. This may adversely impact Fund performance.	Yes	Yes
Emerging Markets Risk − The risks related to investing in foreign securities are generally greater with respect to investments in companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets. The risks of investing in emerging markets include risks of illiquidity, increased price volatility, smaller market capitalizations, less government regulation, less extensive and less frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements, significant delays in settlement of trades, risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody and substantial economic and political disruptions. Frontier markets are those emerging markets that are considered to be among the smallest, least mature and least liquid, and as a result, the risks of investing in emerging markets are magnified in frontier markets.	Yes	Yes
Currency Risk − The risk that the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign securities or currencies will be affected by the value of the applicable currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the Fund sells a foreign currency or foreign currency denominated security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the investment increases in value in its local market. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the revenue earned by issuers of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer’s local currency.	Yes	Yes
Equity Risk −The risk that the price of equity or equity related securities may decline due to changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.	Yes	Yes
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. Risks associated with rising interest rates are currently heightened because interest rates in the U.S. remain near historic lows and the Federal Reserve Board has begun, and may continue, to raise interest rates. Actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, such as decreases or	Yes	Yes

6

Principal Risks	Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund
increases in short-term interest rates, may adversely affect markets, which could, in turn, negatively impact Fund performance.
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 financial strength, 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.	Yes	Yes
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.	Yes	Yes
Derivatives Risk−Derivatives are instruments whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. 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. In addition, the fluctuations in the value of derivatives may not correlate perfectly with the value of any portfolio assets being hedged, the performance of the asset class to which the sub-adviser seeks exposure, or the overall securities markets.	Yes	Yes
Leverage Risk−Certain transactions, such as the use of derivatives, may give rise to leverage. 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 it had not been leveraged. 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.	Yes	Yes
Futures and Options Risks−Futures and options may be more volatile than direct investments in the securities underlying the futures and options, may not correlate perfectly to the underlying securities, may involve additional costs, and may be illiquid. Futures and options also may involve the use of leverage as the Fund may make a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed, which could result in losses greater than if futures or options had not been used. Futures and options are also subject to the risk that the other party to the transaction may default on its obligation.	Yes	Yes
Swaps Risk−A swap is a two-party contract that generally obligates the parties to exchange payments based on a specified reference security, basket of securities, security index or index component. Swaps can involve greater risks than direct investment in securities because swaps may be leveraged and are subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy), credit risk and pricing risk (i.e., swaps may be difficult to value). Certain swaps may also be considered illiquid. It may not be possible for the Fund to liquidate a swap position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.	Yes	Yes
High Yield Investments Risk−High yield 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.	Yes	Yes
Commodities Related Investments Risk−Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The commodities markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility, which may cause rapid and substantial changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings. The value of commodity related securities and commodity-linked derivative investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political, regulatory and market developments, as well as the participation in the commodities markets of speculators.	Yes	No
Subsidiary Risk−By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and could adversely affect the Fund.	Yes	No
Securities Lending Risk − The Fund may engage in securities lending. The Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.	Yes	Yes
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk−The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the	Yes	Yes

7

Principal Risks	Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund
Fund's performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
Loans and Loan Participations Risk−Loans and loan participations, including floating rate loans, are subject to credit risk, including the risk of nonpayment of principal or interest. Also, substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan defaults. Although the loans the Fund holds may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. In addition, in the event an issuer becomes insolvent, a loan could be subject to settlement risks or administrative disruptions that could adversely affect the Fund’s investment. It may also be difficult to obtain reliable information about a loan or loan participation. Many loans are subject to restrictions on resale (thus affecting their liquidity) and may be difficult to value. As a result, the Fund may be unable to sell its loan interests at a time when it may otherwise be desirable to do so or maybe able to sell them only at prices that are less than what the Fund regards as their fair market value. Loans and loan participations typically have extended settlement periods (generally greater than 7 days). Extended settlement periods during significant Fund redemption activity could potentially cause short-term liquidity demands within the Fund. In seeking to meet liquidity demands, the Fund could be forced to sell investments at unfavorable prices, borrow money (at a cost to the Fund) or effect short settlements when possible. The Fund’s actions in this regard may not be successful. Loans may also be subject to extension risk (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more slowly in periods of rising interest rates) and prepayment risk (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more quickly in periods of falling interest rates).The Fund may acquire a participation interest in a loan that is held by another party. When the Fund’s loan interest is a participation, the Fund may have less control over the exercise of remedies than the party selling the participation interest, and it normally would not have any direct rights against the borrower. Loan interests may not be considered “securities,” and purchasers, such as the Fund, may not, therefore, be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws. The Fund may be in possession of material non-public information about a borrower or issuer as a result of its ownership of a loan or security of such borrower or issuer. Because of prohibitions on trading in securities of issuers while in possession of such information, the Fund may be unable to enter into a transaction in a loan or security of such a borrower or issuer when it would otherwise be advantageous to do so.	No	Yes
Sovereign Debt Risk−Non-U.S. sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt are subject to the risk that the issuer or government authority that controls the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest when due. This may result from political or social factors, the general economic environment of a country or economic region, levels of foreign debt or foreign currency exchange rates.	No	Yes
Mortgage Related- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk−Mortgage related- and asset-backed securities represent interests in “pools” of assets. These securities are subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, “prepayment risk” (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more quickly in periods of falling interest rates) and “extension risk” (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more slowly in periods of rising interest rates). The value of these securities will be influenced by factors affecting the assets underlying such securities. If the Fund invests in mortgage-related or asset-backed securities that are subordinated to other interests in the same asset pool, the Fund may only receive payments after the pool’s obligations to other investors have been satisfied. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may limit substantially the pool’s ability to make payments of principal or interest to the Fund, reducing the values of those securities or in some cases rendering them worthless. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include so-called “subprime” mortgages.	No	Yes
Restricted Securities Risk−Restricted securities are subject to the risk that they may be difficult to sell at the time and price the Fund prefers.	No	Yes
Active Trading Risk−Active trading could increase the Fund's transaction costs and may increase your tax liability as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects may adversely affect Fund performance.	No	Yes
Dividend Paying Security Investment Risk−Income provided by the Fund may be affected by changes in the dividend policies of the companies in which the Fund invests and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. Issuers that have paid regular dividends or distributions to shareholders may not continue to do so at the same level or at all in the future. Dividend paying securities can fall out of favor with the market, causing the Fund during such periods to underperform funds that do not focus on dividends. The Fund’s focus on dividend paying investments may cause the Fund’s share price and total return to fluctuate more than those of funds that do not focus their investments on such investments.	No	Yes
Other Investment Companies Risk− Investments in securities of other investment companies are subject to the risks that apply to the other investment companies strategies and portfolio holdings. The success of the Fund’s investment in these securities is directly related, in part, to the ability of the other investment companies to meet their investment objectives. In addition, investments in exchange-traded funds and listed closed-end funds are subject to the additional risk that shares of the fund may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value per share, or may not have an active trading market available. The Fund will indirectly bear a pro rata share of fees and expenses incurred by any investment companies in which the Fund is invested and may be higher or lower	No	Yes

Principal Risks	Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund
depending on the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the investment companies and the actual expenses of the investment companies.
U.S. Government Securities Risk - Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Securities backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market values for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. In addition, the value of U.S. Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. Government. U.S. Government securities are also subject to the risk that the U.S. Treasury will be unable to meet its payment obligations.	No	Yes

Comparison Of Fees And Expenses of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund

Fees and Expenses

The fees and expenses of each Fund and estimated pro forma fees and expenses after giving effect to the Reorganization are shown in the table below based on the fees and expenses of the Funds for the twelve months ended April 30, 2019; except for: (i) the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Fund that have been restated to reflect current fees, expenses and contractual expense limitation arrangements and which are reflected in the Acquiring Fund’s current Summary Prospectus, dated July 10, 2019; and (ii) as noted in the footnotes to the tables below.

Pro forma numbers are estimated in good faith and are hypothetical.

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Funds. You may qualify for sales charge discounts with respect to Class A shares if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in certain classes of Hartford Funds or 529 plans administered by HFMC. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the “How Sales Charges Are Calculated” section of the Funds’ Prospectus and the “Purchase and Redemption of Shares” section of the Funds’ SAI.

(1) Reflects pro forma amounts following the Reorganization.

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

(3) “Management fees” for the Acquiring Fund have been restated. The management fees payable by the Acquiring Fund may vary based on the percentage of the Acquiring Fund’s assets that is invested in one or more of the Affiliated Funds (i.e., investment companies for which HFMC or its affiliates serves as investment manager). The Acquiring Fund does not pay a management fee with respect to the portion of the Acquiring Fund’s assets that is invested in the Affiliated Funds. The “Management Fees” stated above for the Acquiring Fund have been restated to reflect the current fee based on the target allocation of 25% of the Acquiring Fund’s assets invested in Affiliated Funds. This arrangement will continue to apply to the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization.

(4) “Expenses of the Subsidiary" include the management fees of the Acquired Fund’s wholly owned Cayman Islands Subsidiary and other expenses of the Subsidiary. The management fees of the Subsidiary have been restated to reflect current fees.

10

(5) “Other expenses” for Class R6 of the Acquiring Fund are based on estimated amounts. "Other expenses” for Class Y of each Fund have been restated to reflect estimated amounts in connection with the new transfer agency fee effective May 1, 2019.

(6) “Total annual fund operating expenses" do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets that is disclosed in the Fund’s annual report in the financial highlights table, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses. The ratio of expenses to average net assets that is disclosed in the Fund’s annual report in the financial highlights table for the applicable period also does not reflect the restated "Management fees" or "Other expenses" for Class Y.”

(7) HFMC has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses on short sales and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain total annual fund operating expenses as follows: 1.19% (Class A), 1.94% (Class C), 0.89% (Class I), 1.41% (Class R3), 1.11% (Class R4), 0.81% (Class R5), 0.69% (Class R6), 0.75% (Class Y), and 0.69% (Class F). This contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 29, 2020 unless the Board approves its earlier termination. HFMC also has contractually agreed to waive the management fee in an amount equal to the management fee paid to it by the Subsidiary. This waiver will remain in effect for as long as the Acquired Fund remains invested in the Subsidiary.

(8) HFMC has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses (excluding taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses resulting from the Acquiring Fund’s investments in investment companies other than Affiliated Funds) to the extent necessary to maintain total annual fund operating expenses for the Acquiring Fund (including acquired fund fees and expenses related to the Acquiring Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds) as follows: 0.96% (Class A), 1.71% (Class C), 0.66% (Class I), 1.18% (Class R3), 0.88% (Class R4), 0.55% (Class R5), 0.45% (Class R6), 0.55% (Class Y) and 0.45% (Class F). This contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 28, 2021 unless the Board approves its earlier termination.

Example

The examples below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Funds and in the Acquiring Fund (after the Reorganization) on a pro forma basis. 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.

The pro forma expense examples are estimated as if the Reorganization was completed as of [April 30, 2019,] but have been adjust to reflect current fees, expenses, and contractual expense limitation arrangements. The expense examples do not include the cost of the Reorganization, which will be borne by HFMC and not the Funds, or the transaction costs (e.g., brokerage commissions) in connection with portfolio repositioning, which will be borne by the respective Funds. 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:

Portfolio Turnover

The Funds pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when they buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). 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 Funds’ performance.

12

During the most recent fiscal year ended on October 31, 2018, the portfolio turnover rate for the Acquired Fund was 62% and the portfolio turnover rate for the Acquiring Fund was 61%, in each case of the average value of its respective portfolio. The Acquiring Fund recently changed its name and portfolio management team and adopted a new, investment objective, investment strategy, portfolio construction process, and risk management techniques. The Acquiring Fund adopted these changes on July 10, 2019. It is anticipated that the Acquiring Fund will have a higher portfolio turnover under its new investment strategy during its current fiscal year and in the future.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

The Reorganization is being proposed to address the Acquired Fund’s lack of growth in assets since its inception. The Reorganization may provide the Acquired Fund shareholders the opportunity to benefit from the increased assets resulting from combining the Funds, which may contribute to lowering annual fund operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund over time. HFMC, the investment adviser for both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, or its affiliates will bear all costs associated with the Reorganization, other than brokerage-related expenses, stamp taxes, and other similar transaction costs, which will be borne by the respective Fund, as applicable.

Board Considerations and Benefits of the Reorganization

The Reorganization was presented to the Board of the Company for consideration and approval at a meeting held on May 1, 2019. In advance of the meeting, the Board requested and received detailed information regarding the Reorganization. After reviewing and evaluating this information, including the factors summarized below and other information in this Information Statement/Prospectus, the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Company (such Directors are referred to as the “Independent Directors”), unanimously approved the Reorganization. In approving the Reorganization, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, determined that the interests of the shareholders of each Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization, and that the Reorganization was in the best interests of each Fund. The determinations were made on the basis of each Director’s judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken as a whole, though individual Directors may have attributed different weights to various factors. In reviewing the Reorganization, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds, and the Independent Directors also were separately assisted by independent legal counsel.

The Company’s Board considered all factors deemed pertinent in its business judgment, including the following:

· The Reorganization would provide an opportunity for shareholders to benefit from potential economies of scale that may be realized by combining the Funds’ assets in the Reorganization.

· The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund have similar investment objectives. The Acquired Fund’s investment objective is to seek provide long-term total return, while the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return while seeking to mitigate downside risk. The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund have the same fundamental investment policies.

· The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund have comparable principal investment strategies, investment styles and principal risks, but there are some differences. HFMC believes that the main similarity between the Funds, which is that both Funds seek to invest in equity and fixed income securities within target allocations, outweighs the differences.

· Although a comparison of the Acquired Fund’s performance and the Acquiring Fund’s performance is not illustrative of how the two Funds performed during similar periods because of the recent material change in the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, and portfolio management team, the Board did consider the investment strategy, security selection, portfolio construction process, and risk management techniques employed by the Acquiring Fund. The Board also considered HFMC’s assessment that the Acquiring Fund’s investment strategy, portfolio construction process, and risk management techniques potentially will provide for more favorable risk-adjusted returns and lower volatility.

· The Acquiring Fund will be the survivor of the Reorganization for accounting and performance purposes.

· The Acquiring Fund’s management fee schedule provides for lower fee rates at all asset levels than the Acquired Fund. The Reorganization is expected to result in lower gross and net operating expenses for shareholders of each class of the Acquired Fund immediately after the consummation of the Reorganization. The contractual operating expense caps for each share class of the Acquiring Fund will remain in effect until February 28, 2021, unless the Board approves their earlier termination.

· The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund have the same investment adviser, HFMC, and sub-adviser, Wellington Management, but the portfolio managers are different. HFMC will continue to oversee the investment program of the Acquiring Fund and the performance of Wellington Management after consummation of the Reorganization. The Reorganization is not expected to result in diminution in the level or quality of services that the Acquired Fund shareholders currently receive.

13

· The terms and conditions of the Plan. See “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.”

· The Reorganization will not dilute the interests of the shareholders of the Funds because the Acquired Fund shareholders will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as their Acquired Fund shares at the time of the Reorganization.

· The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund anticipate that the Reorganization will be considered a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. As such, shareholders of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are not expected to recognize gain or loss as a result of the Reorganization. See “ADDITIONAL Information About the Reorganization – Tax Considerations.”

· HFMC or its affiliates will bear all costs associated with the Reorganization other than brokerage-related expenses, stamp taxes and other similar transaction costs, which will be borne by the respective Fund, as applicable.

· The Board considered that the Acquired Fund would be repositioned in connection with the Reorganization and the costs associated with the repositioning, including brokerage commissions, stamp taxes, as well as the estimated amounts of capital gains to be distributed to shareholders. The Board recognized that there would be separate costs to invest any cash in the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization.

· The Acquired Fund is the larger fund (approximately $197 million in assets versus approximately $85 million in assets for the Acquiring Fund, as of April 30, 2019). HFMC believes that the Acquiring Fund’s investment strategies potentially will provide for more favorable risk-adjusted returns and lower volatility.

· The share class structure of the Acquired Fund is identical to that of the Acquiring Fund, except: (1) certain share classes of the Acquiring Fund are closed to new investors, subject to certain exceptions; and (2) the maximum sales charge (load) imposed on purchases is 4.50% and 5.50% for the Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund, respectively.

· The Reorganization does not require shareholder approval.

· HFMC’s belief that the Reorganization provides a better resolution for the Acquired Fund as compared to other options, such as liquidating the Acquired Fund or keeping the Acquired Fund as a stand-alone fund.

· Shareholders of the Acquired Fund will have the opportunity to exchange their Acquired Fund shares for shares of another Hartford Fund before the Reorganization takes place and without incurring a sales charge, if they do not wish to participate in the Reorganization and become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund.

· The Reorganization may result in some potential benefits to HFMC and its affiliates, including cost savings, resulting from managing one Combined Fund rather than two separate Funds because the fixed costs involved with operating the Combined Fund will be spread across a larger asset base following the Reorganization. As a result, HFMC may benefit from reimbursing less expenses for the Acquiring Fund under the contractual expense reimbursement arrangement after the closing of the Reorganization.

MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS

The Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser

The Investment Manager

HFMC is the investment manager to each Fund. HFMC is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., a Connecticut-based financial services company. Excluding affiliated funds of funds, as of March 31, 2019, HFMC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lattice Strategies LLC, had approximately $117.6 billion in discretionary and non-discretionary assets under management. HFMC is responsible for the management of the Funds and supervises the activities of the investment sub-adviser. HFMC is principally located at 690 Lee Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087. Each Fund pays HFMC an investment management fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, equal on an annual basis to a stated percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Acquiring Fund’s contractual management fee rates are lower than those of the Acquired Fund.

Each Fund pays a monthly management fee to HFMC based on a stated percentage of the Fund’s average daily net asset value as follows:

Acquired Fund		Acquiring Fund
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS	ANNUAL RATE*	AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS	ANNUAL RATE**
First $250 million	0.7000%	First $1 billion	0.3900%
Next $250 million	0.6500%	Next $4 billion	0.3800%
Next $500 million	0.6000%	Amount Over $5 billion	0.3750%
Next $1.5 billion	0.5800%
Next $2.5 billion	0.5600%
Amount Over $5 billion	0.5500%

* From November 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018, the contractual management fee with respect to the Acquired Fund was 0.8000% of the first $250 million, 0.7500% of the next $250 million, 0.7000% of the next $500 million, 0.6800% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.6600% of the next $2.5 billion, and 0.6500% in excess of $5 billion annually of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.

** The Acquiring Fund’s management fee is 0% on any portion of the Acquiring Fund’s assets invested in Affiliated Funds. It currently is anticipated that the Acquiring Fund will have a target percentage of 25% of its assets invested in Affiliated Funds. As a result, the net effective management fee based on a 25% allocation to Affiliated Funds is estimated to be equal to 0.2900% of the Acquiring Fund’s average daily net assets. The Acquiring Fund’s allocations to Affiliated Funds is actively managed and will vary over different periods of time.

Prior to July 10, 2019, the management fee for the Acquiring Fund set forth in the investment management agreement effective March 1, 2018, was 0.5600% of the first $250 million, 0.5100% of the next $250 million, 0.4900% of the next $500 million, 0.4700% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.4650% of the next $2.5 billion, 0.4625% of the next $5 billion and 0.4600% in excess of $10 billion annually of the Acquiring Fund’s average daily net assets. From November 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018, the management fee set forth in the investment management agreement with respect to the Acquiring Fund was 0.6000% of the first $250 million, 0.5500% of the next $250 million, 0.5300% of the next $500 million, 0.5100% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.5050% of the next $2.5 billion, 0.5025% of the next $5 billion and 0.5000% in excess of $10 billion annually of the Acquiring Fund’s average daily net assets.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, each Fund paid HFMC the following effective management fee, which is the management fee net of any waivers, as a percentage of average daily net assets:

Fund	Effective Management Fee*
Acquired Fund	0.73%
Acquiring Fund	0.57%*

* The effective management fee for the Acquiring Fund shown in the table above does not reflect the Acquiring Fund’s current management fee, which is lower. The effective management fee for the Acquired Fund shown in the table above does not fully reflect the Acquired Fund’s current management fee, which was reduced on March 1, 2018. For each Fund’s current management fee, please see the table further above.

HFMC has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Wellington Management to perform the daily investment of the assets of the Funds. For such services, Wellington Management receives compensation from HFMC, not the Funds. A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment management and investment sub-advisory agreements of each Fund is available in the annual report to shareholders of each Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018.

As discussed above in the section “Comparison of the Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Fundamental Investment Restrictions”, the Acquired Fund may pursue its investment objective through investment in a Subsidiary. The Subsidiary has entered into a separate agreement with HFMC, whereby HFMC provides investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, The Hartford Cayman Global All-Asset Fund, Ltd. pays HFMC a management fee at the annual rate of 0.55%. HFMC also has entered into a separate agreement with Wellington Management whereby Wellington Management provides investment sub-advisory services to the Subsidiary. HFMC has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from the Acquired Fund in an amount equal to the management fee paid by the Subsidiary. The waiver will remain in effect for as long as HFMC’s agreement with the Subsidiary is in place

HFMC and the Funds rely on an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under which the Funds operate pursuant to a “Manager of Managers” structure. HFMC has responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board of Directors, to oversee the sub-adviser and recommend its hiring, termination and replacement. The Order permits HFMC, on behalf of a Fund and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, to hire, and to materially amend any existing or future sub-advisory agreement with, sub-advisers that are not affiliated with HFMC (the “Original Relief”), as well as sub-advisers that are indirect or direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of HFMC or of another company that, indirectly or directly wholly owns HFMC (the “Expanded Relief”), in each case without obtaining approval from the respective Fund’s shareholders. Shareholders of the Acquiring Fund have approved the operation of the Fund under any “manager of managers” structure, including under (i) both the Original Relief and Expanded Relief set forth in the Order and/or (ii) any future law, regulation, or exemptive relief provided by the SEC. However, shareholders of the Acquired Fund have approved the operation of the Fund under the “manager of managers” structure only under the Original Relief set forth in the Order. After the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund intends to continue to rely on (i) both the Original Relief and Expanded Relief set forth in the Order and/or (ii) any future law, regulation, or exemptive relief provided by the SEC. Within 90 days after hiring any new sub-adviser, the respective Fund’s shareholders will receive information about any new sub-advisory relationship.

Performance of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund

The performance information below indicates the risks of investing in each Fund. The Acquired Fund’s Class R6 shares commenced operations on February 28, 2018 and performance prior to that date is that of the Acquired Fund’s Class Y shares. As of December 31, 2018, the Acquiring Fund’s Class R6 shares had not commenced operations and performance is that of the Acquiring Fund’s Class Y shares. Class F shares of each Fund commenced operations on February 28, 2017 and performance prior to that date is that of the respective Fund’s Class I shares. To the extent a share class has adopted the prior performance of another share class that had different operating expenses, such performance has not been adjusted to reflect the different operating expenses. If the performance were adjusted, it may have been higher or lower. Keep in mind that past performance does not indicate future results. Updated performance information is available at www.hartfordfunds.com.

Effective July 10, 2019, the Acquiring Fund changed its investment objective, principal investment strategy, and benchmarks. The performance shown in the table below reflects the Acquiring Fund’s performance while it pursued its prior investment objective and was managed in accordance with its prior investment strategy, which may not reflect how the Acquiring Fund may perform in the future even under similar market conditions..

With respect to each Fund, the returns:

· Assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions

· Would be lower if the Fund’s operating expenses had not been limited.

With respect to each Fund, the bar charts:

· Show how the Fund’s total return has varied from year to year

· Do not include the effect of sales charges. If sales charges were reflected in the bar chart, returns would have been lower

· Show the returns of the Fund’s Class A shares. Because the Fund’s shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, returns for the Fund’s other classes differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.

The table following each Fund’s bar chart shows returns for the Fund over time compared to those of each Fund’s blended benchmark and each Fund's respective two broad-based market indices. After-tax returns, which are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes, are shown only for Class A shares and will vary for other classes. Actual after-tax returns, which depend on an investor’s particular tax situation, may differ from those shown and are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. For more information regarding returns, see the “Performance Notes” section following the tables.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) provides for the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for corresponding Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y, and Class F shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Acquired Fund will distribute the shares of the Acquiring Fund received in the exchange to its shareholders, and then the Acquired Fund will be liquidated.

After the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will own shares in the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of shares of the Acquired Fund held by that shareholder as of the close of business on the business day preceding the Closing Date.

Generally, the liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by opening accounts on the books of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and transferring to those shareholders’ accounts the same class of shares representing such shareholders’ interests previously credited to the accounts of the Acquired Fund. No sales charges or fees of any kind will be charged to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in connection with their receipt of shares of the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization.

Until the Closing Date, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will continue to be able to redeem their shares. Redemption requests received after the Closing Date will be treated as requests for the redemption of the Acquiring Fund shares received by the shareholder in the Reorganization.

The Plan requires that the Funds take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Plan. The Plan may be amended or terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or on certain other grounds. For a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Reorganization, see the Plan in APPENDIX A, which qualifies in its entirety the foregoing summary of the Plan.

19

Tax Considerations

The Reorganization is expected to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. It is intended that, as a result of the Reorganization:

(1) the Reorganization will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Code Section 368(a);

(2) the Shareholders will recognize no gain or loss on their receipt of voting shares of the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for their voting shares of the Acquired Fund pursuant to the Reorganization;

(3) the Acquired Fund will not recognize gain or loss on the transfer of all of its assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for voting shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Acquired Fund’s Liabilities pursuant to the Reorganization, except that the Acquired Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code or stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code;

(4) the Acquired Fund will not recognize gain or loss on its distribution of the voting shares of the Acquiring Fund to its Shareholders pursuant to the liquidation of the Acquired Fund;

(5) the Acquiring Fund will not recognize gain or loss on its acquisition of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund solely in exchange for voting shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities;

(6) the aggregate tax basis of the voting shares of the Acquiring Fund received by each of the Acquired Fund’s Shareholders pursuant to the Reorganization will equal the aggregate tax basis of the voting shares of the Acquired Fund surrendered in exchange therefor;

(7) the holding period of the voting shares of the Acquiring Fund received by each of the Shareholders pursuant to the Reorganization will include the period that the Shareholder held the voting shares of the Acquired Fund exchanged therefor, provided that the Shareholder held such shares as a capital asset on the date of the Reorganization;

(8) the Acquiring Fund’s basis in the assets of the Acquired Fund received pursuant to the Reorganization will equal the Acquired Fund’s basis in the assets immediately before the Reorganization; and

(9) the Acquiring Fund’s holding period in the Acquired Fund’s assets received pursuant to the Reorganization will include the period during which the Acquired Fund held the assets (except where investment activities of the Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset).

Shareholders of the Acquired Fund should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances and, since the foregoing discussion only relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, should consult their tax advisors as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Funds will request an opinion from the law firm of Dechert LLP, legal counsel to the Company, to the effect that the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. That opinion will be based in part upon certain assumptions and upon certain representations made by the Funds. Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. If the Reorganization were consummated but the IRS or the courts were to determine that the Reorganization did not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, and thus was taxable, the Acquired Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund and each shareholder of the Acquired Fund that held shares in a taxable account would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Acquired Fund shares and the fair market value of the shares of the Acquiring Fund it received.

As of April 30, 2019, the Acquired Fund had $13,406,735 and $0 in short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, respectively. The amount of the Funds’ capital loss carryovers as of the date of the Reorganization may differ substantially from these amounts. The Acquiring Fund’s ability to use its own capital loss carryovers from prior to the Reorganization, or the capital loss carryovers of the Acquired Fund, if any, to offset gains of the Acquiring Fund in a given year after the Reorganization may be limited by loss limitation rules under Federal tax law. The impact of those loss limitation rules will depend on the relative sizes of, and the losses and gains in, the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund at the time of the Reorganization and thus cannot be calculated precisely at this time.

Based on assets as of April 30, 2019, it is expected that a portion of the Acquired Fund’s portfolio assets (approximately 25%) will be sold prior to the consummation of the Reorganization, which is expected to result in the Acquired Fund realizing capital gains. Taking into account unrealized short-term and long-term losses and that there are capital loss carryforwards available to offset realized gains, it is currently estimated that the Acquired Fund will not have a distribution requirement to its shareholders as a result of the repositioning (based on assets as of April 30, 2019). Shareholders holding shares of the Acquired Fund in a taxable account generally will be taxed on any resulting capital gain that the Acquired Fund is required to distribute. In addition, it currently is estimated that the Acquired Fund will incur brokerage and other transaction costs of approximately $15,000 (including stamp taxes) prior to the Reorganization. In addition, it is expected that the Combined Fund will incur additional brokerage and other transaction costs after the Reorganization to further realign the Combined Fund’s investment portfolio. It currently is estimated that these post-Reorganization brokerage and other

20

transaction costs will be approximately $290,000. These are only estimates and the actual amount of brokerage commissions and other transaction costs may differ.

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund may declare a distribution to its shareholders, which, together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders of the Acquired Fund such Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains (after reduction of any available capital loss carryforwards), if any through the Closing Date. To the extent distributions are attributable to ordinary taxable income or capital gains, the distribution may be taxable to shareholders for federal income tax purposes. Currently, it is expected that there will be an ordinary income distribution on or prior to the Closing Date. This may change at the time of the Reorganization based on market conditions, the Acquired Fund’s actual holdings at the time of the Closing Date and other factors.

Expenses of the Reorganization

HFMC or its affiliates will bear all costs associated with the Reorganization other than brokerage-related expenses and other similar transaction costs including stamp tax, which will be borne by the respective Fund, as applicable.

Accounting Survivor

The Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor of the Reorganization.

(1) HFMC and not the Funds will bear all of the costs of the Reorganization (which do not include brokerage commissions or similar transaction costs associated with portfolio repositioning). Accordingly, there are no pro forma adjustments to net assets. Pro forma shares outstanding have been adjusted for the accumulated change in the number of shares to be issued to the Acquired Fund based on its net asset value per share as of June 20, 2019 relative to the net asset value of the Acquiring Fund. The Reorganization is expected to be completed after close of business on September 20, 2019, at which time the results would be reflective of the actual composition of shareholders’ equity as of that date.

(2) Reflects pro forma amounts following the Reorganization.

APPENDIX A: FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made as of this         day of              , 2019, among The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, with its principal place of business at 690 Lee Road, Wayne, PA 19087, on behalf of its series, Hartford AARP Balanced Retirement Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”); the Company, on behalf of its series, The Hartford Global All-Asset Fund (the “Acquired Fund”); and Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (for purposes of Section 10.2 only of this Agreement).

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and liquidation within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). The reorganization and liquidation will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of common stock of the Acquiring Fund set forth on Exhibit A (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) corresponding to the class of outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquired Fund set forth on Exhibit A (“Acquired Fund Shares”), as described herein, (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, and (3) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund, as provided herein (“Reorganization”), all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are each a series of the Company, a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and the Acquired Fund owns securities that generally are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest;

WHEREAS, the Directors of the Company have determined, with respect to the Acquiring Fund, that the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquiring Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction; and

WHEREAS, the Directors of the Company have determined, with respect to the Acquired Fund, that the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquired Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND TO THE ACQUIRING FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES, THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL ACQUIRED FUND LIABILITIES AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND

1.1.       Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Acquired Fund agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2 herein, to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund agrees in exchange therefor: (i) to deliver to the Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares determined by dividing the value of the Acquired Fund’s net assets with respect to the corresponding class of Acquired Fund Shares, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1 herein, by the net asset value of one Acquiring Fund Share of the corresponding class, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2 herein; and (ii) to assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.3 herein. Such transactions shall take place on the date of the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 herein (“Closing Date”).

1.2.       The property and assets of the Company attributable to the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all property and assets, including, without limitation, all rights, cash, securities, commodities and futures interests and dividends or interests receivable that are owned by the Acquired Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date (collectively, “Assets”). The Acquired Fund will sell, assign, convey, transfer and

A-1

deliver to the Acquiring Fund any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by the Acquired Fund after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other distributions on or with respect to the property and assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the property and assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund.

1.3.       The Acquired Fund will make reasonable efforts to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date. The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Closing Date (collectively, “Liabilities”). On or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will declare and pay to its shareholders of record one or more dividends and/or other distributions so that it will have distributed substantially all (and in no event less than 98%) of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and realized net capital gain, if any, for the current taxable year through the Closing Date.

1.4.       Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1 herein, the Company shall take such actions necessary to complete the liquidation of the Acquired Fund. To complete the liquidation, the Company, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, shall (a) distribute to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders of record with respect to each class of its shares as of the Closing as defined in paragraph 3.1 herein (“Acquired Fund Shareholders”), on a pro rata basis within the class, the Acquiring Fund Shares of the corresponding class received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 herein, and (b) completely liquidate. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each class of Acquired Fund shares, by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders. The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to the Acquired Fund Shareholders shall, with respect to the class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares of the corresponding class owned by Acquired Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding Acquired Fund Shares will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund, although share certificates representing interests in Acquired Fund Shares will thereafter represent interests in the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund Shares after the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with paragraph 2.3. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with the Reorganization.

1.5.       Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund’s Transfer Agent, as defined in paragraph 3.3 herein.

1.6.       Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Fund, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.

2. VALUATION

2.1.       The value of the Assets shall be the value of such Assets as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date, computed using the valuation procedures set forth in the then-current prospectus and statement of additional information with respect to the Acquired Fund and valuation procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors.

2.2.       The net asset value of each Acquiring Fund Share shall be the net asset value per share computed with respect to the corresponding class as of the Closing Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Acquiring Fund’s then-current prospectus and statement of additional information, and valuation procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors.

2.3.       The number of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for the Acquired Fund’s Assets shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets with respect to the Acquired Fund Shares determined using the same valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1 herein, by the net asset value of the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund Shares, determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2 herein.

A-2

2.4.       All computations of value shall be made by Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), in its capacity as Fund Accountant for the Company, and shall be subject to confirmation by the Company’s Treasurer.

3. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

3.1.       The Closing Date shall be a date to be determined by an officer of the Company, or such other date as the parties may agree. All acts taking place at the closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement (“Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously at a time immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The Closing shall be held at the offices of the Company.

3.2.       Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall issue instructions directing State Street Bank and Trust Company (“Custodian”), to deliver to itself, as Acquiring Fund Custodian, all the Assets of the Acquired Fund held by it as Acquired Fund Custodian as of the Closing Date in proper form. The Acquired Fund may inspect such Assets at the offices of the Custodian prior to the Closing Date. As soon as practicable after the close of business on the Closing Date, the Custodian shall confirm that it has caused to be delivered to itself as Custodian for the Acquiring Fund and in proper form all of the Assets of the Acquired Fund held by the Custodian as of the Closing Date identifying any Assets that could not be transferred. To the extent that any Assets, for any reason, are not transferable on the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall cause such Assets to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund’s account with the Custodian at the earliest practicable date thereafter.

3.3.       The Company shall direct Hartford Administrative Services Company, in its capacity as transfer agent for the Company (“Transfer Agent”), to deliver to the Company at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer of the Transfer Agent stating that its records contain the names and addresses of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and the number and percentage ownership of outstanding shares owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. An officer of the Transfer Agent shall confirm that (a) the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Acquired Fund’s account on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 herein prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.4 herein and (b) the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the accounts of the Acquired Fund Shareholders on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.4 herein. At the Closing, the Company shall execute such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as necessary to effect the Reorganization.

3.4.       In the event that on the Closing Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of HFMC or the Board of Directors of the Company, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund, respectively, is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

These pro forma numbers have been estimated in good faith based on information regarding the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund as of their most recent semi-annual fiscal period ended on April 30, 2019.

The pro forma financial information is based on the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such information and should be read in conjunction with this unaudited pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial information is being furnished solely for information purposes and, therefore, does not purport to be indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that might have been achieved if the Reorganization had been consummated on the date or for the periods indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may occur in the future.

Narrative Description of the Pro Forma Effects of the Reorganization.

Note 1 – Reorganization

The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared to give effect to the proposed Reorganization of the Acquired Fund into the Acquiring Fund pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred as of the beginning of the 12-month period ended on April 30, 2019:

Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund
The Hartford Global All-Asset Fund, a series of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.	Hartford AARP Balanced Retirement Fund, a series of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.

B-2

The Reorganization does not require Shareholder approval. The Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. The pro forma financial information provided herein should be read in conjunction with the annual and semi-annual reports, which are on file with the SEC and are available at no charge.

Note 2 – Basis of Pro Forma

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes; therefore, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund or its shareholders as a direct result of the Reorganization. The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are both series of the same registered open-end management investment company. The Reorganization will be accomplished by the transfer of all the assets and all the liabilities of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund, the pro-rata distribution of such shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, and liquidation and termination of the Acquired Fund.

The table below shows the number of shares of each class of the Acquiring Fund that Acquired Fund shareholders would have received had the Reorganization occurred on April 30, 2019:

Acquired Fund Share Class	Acquiring Fund Shares Issued	Acquiring Fund Share Class
Class A	487,773	Class A
Class C	160,138	Class C
Class I	216,272	Class I
Class R3	7,599	Class R3
Class R4	2,380	Class R4
Class R5	1,628	Class R5
Class R6	65	Class R6
Class Y	136,139	Class Y
Class F	139,988	Class F

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, for financial reporting purposes, the historical cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund will be carried forward to the surviving fund (which will be the Acquiring Fund). The table below sets forth the net assets of each Fund and the pro forma net assets of the Combined Fund as of April 30, 2019:

Fund	Net Assets (as of April 30, 2019)
The Hartford Global All-Asset Fund (Acquired Fund)	$197,404,354
Hartford AARP Balanced Retirement Fund (Acquiring Fund)	$84,639,146
Hartford AARP Balanced Retirement Fund (Pro Forma Combined Fund)	$282,043,500

Note 3 – Pro Forma Expense Adjustments

The table below reflects adjustments to annual expenses made to the pro forma financial information as if the Reorganization had been in effect on the first day of the 12-month period ended April 30, 2019, using the fees and expenses information shown in the Information Statement/Prospectus. The pro forma information has been derived from the books and records used in calculating daily net asset values of the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund and has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect this information. Percentages presented below are the increase (decrease) in expenses divided by the average net assets of the beginning of the 12-month period ended April 30, 2019. Actual results could differ from those estimates. No other significant pro forma effects are expected to result from the Reorganization.

Expense Type	Expense Change	Expense Change (%)
Management Fees	$(1,030,832)	-0.365%
Audit	$(110,025)	-0.039%
Blue Sky (Registration)	$(123,776)	-0.044%
Trustee Fees	$0	0.000%
Prepaid Insurance	$0	0.000%
SEC Registration	$0	0.000%

B-3

Printing & Postage	$0	0.000%
Miscellaneous Fees	$(8,870)	-0.003%
Legal	$0	0.000%
Fund Accounting	$0	0.000%
Pricing Fees	$0	0.000%
Custody Expense	$0	0.000%
Total Expense Adjustments	$(1,273,503)	-0.451%

No significant accounting policies will change as a result of the Reorganization, specifically policies regarding security valuation or compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No significant changes to any existing contracts of the Acquiring Fund are expected as a result of the Reorganization.

Note 4 – Portfolio Repositioning

Prior to the Reorganization, it is expected that a portion (approximately 25%) of the securities of the Acquired Fund will be sold. It is currently estimated that the Acquired Fund will incur brokerage and other transaction costs of approximately [$56,800] (including stamp taxes) prior to the Reorganization.

Effective July 10, 2019, the Acquiring Fund changed its name and portfolio management team and adopted a new, investment objective, investment strategy, portfolio construction process, and risk management techniques. In connection with these changes, which are separate from the Reorganization and do not require shareholder approval, it is expected that the Acquiring Fund will reposition a portion of the portfolio including the securities received from the Acquired Fund in the Reorganization. If such repositioning had occurred as of April 30, 2019, the Acquiring Fund would have sold approximately 95% (or $126 million) of its investment portfolio and would have paid approximately $17,000 in brokerage commissions or other similar transaction costs in connection with such transactions. It is estimated that portfolio repositioning of the Acquiring Fund, following consummation of the Reorganization would have resulted in brokerage commissions or other similar transaction costs of approximately $290,000 for the Acquiring Fund, based on average commission rates and spreads on sales and purchases of fixed income securities, if the securities had been sold on April 30, 2019. These estimated brokerage and similar transaction costs would have represented 0.10% of the Acquiring Fund total assets or $0.13 per share. Sales of portfolio securities as a gain may increase the net investment income and net capital gains to be distributed by the Acquiring Fund as a taxable dividend to its shareholders (including former Acquired Fund shareholders) following the Reorganization. Any such gain may be reduced by available capital loss carryforwards, if any, of the Acquiring Fund described in Note 7 below, but the use of such carryforwards may be limited as a result of the Reorganization.

Note 5 – Reorganization Costs

Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) estimates that the expenses for the Reorganization will be approximately $100,000. These costs include HFMC’s estimate of professional services fees, printing costs and mailing changes related to the Reorganization and do not include brokerage or similar transaction costs associated with the portfolio repositioning. HFMC and not the Acquired Fund or the Acquiring Fund will pay the Funds’ costs of the Reorganization, excluding brokerage or similar transaction costs associated with the portfolio repositioning, regardless of whether the Reorganization is completed.

Note 6 – Accounting Survivor

The Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.

Note 7 – Capital Loss Carryforwards

As of April 30, 2019, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Acquired Fund had $13,406,735 in short-term capital loss carryforwards and $0 in long-term capital loss carryforwards. As of the same date, the Acquiring Fund had $10,791,276 in short-term capital loss carry forwards and $6,141,102 in long-term capital loss carryfordwards. These capital loss carryforwards are not subject to expiration.

PART C

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15. Indemnification

Article V, paragraph (f) of the Registrant’s Articles of Restatement provides that the Registrant shall indemnify (i) its directors and officers to the full extent required or permitted by law and (ii) other employees and agents to such extent authorized by the Registrant’s board of directors or bylaws and as permitted by law; provided, however, that no such indemnification shall protect any director or officer of the Registrant against any liability to the Registrant or its shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. The rights of indemnification contained in Article V are not exclusive to any other rights to which any officer, director or employee seeking indemnification may be entitled.

Subsection (b) of Section 2-418 of the General Corporation Law of Maryland permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding unless it is proved that: (i) the act or omission of the person was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the person actually received an improper personal benefit of money, property or services; or (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was unlawful.

Indemnification under subsection (b) of Section 2-418 may not be made by a corporation unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification is permissible in the circumstances because the party to be indemnified has met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (b). This determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the proceeding, or, if such quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board consisting solely of two or more directors not, at the time, parties to such proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full Board in which the designated directors who are parties may participate; (ii) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board by vote as set forth in subparagraph (i),or, if the requisite quorum of the full Board cannot be obtained therefor and the committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of the full Board in which any director who is a party may participate; or (iii) by the stockholders (except that shares held by directors who are parties to the specific proceeding may not be voted). A court of appropriate jurisdiction may also order indemnification if the court determines that a person seeking indemnification is entitled to reimbursement under subsection (b).

Section 2-418 further provides that indemnification provided for by Section 2-418 shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 2-418.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the Registrant undertakes that it will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the questions whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Registrant’s various agreements with its service providers provide for indemnification.
