Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What Proposals are shareholders being asked to consider at the upcoming shareholder meeting?

A: Shareholders are being asked to consider six separate matters. Proposal 1 seeks the election by shareholders of the series (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (“HMF”) and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (“HMF II”) (each a “Company” and together, the “Companies”) of nine individuals to each Company’s Board of Directors (each a “Board” and together, the “Boards”). Proposal 2 seeks approval of a new Investment Management Agreement between Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) and the Companies, on behalf of the Funds. Proposals 3, 4 and 5 seek approval of certain changes to each Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions with respect to: (i) the purchase or sale of commodities, (ii) the purchase or sale of real estate and (iii) concentration of investments in a particular industry or group of industries, respectively. Finally, Proposal 6 seeks the approval, prospectively, of a modification to the current “manager of managers” policy previously approved by shareholders to permit HFMC, subject to prior approval by the relevant Board and under certain circumstances, to enter into and materially amend agreements with affiliated sub-advisers without the necessity of obtaining shareholder approval. Under the current SEC order, HFMC may, for certain Funds enter into and amend agreements with sub-advisors that are not affiliates of HFMC, subject to prior Board approval and under certain circumstances.

Q: Who is being nominated to serve as Directors?

A: Shareholders are being asked to consider the election of Hilary E. Ackermann, Lynn S. Birdsong, James E. Davey, Christine Detrick, Duane E. Hill, Sandra S. Jaffee, William P. Johnston, Phillip O. Peterson and Lemma W. Senbet (each a “Nominee” and together, the “Nominees”) as Directors. With the exception of Ms. Detrick, the Nominees are current members of each Board. If each of the Nominees is elected to each Board, the Boards will be composed of the same nine directors.

Q: How were the Nominees chosen?

A: Each Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for screening and recommending candidates to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committees are comprised of all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Companies, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Nominating and Governance Committees recommended each Nominee and, at a meeting on November 4-5, 2015, the Nominees were unanimously nominated by the Boards to stand for election.

Q: Why am I being asked to approve a new Investment Management Agreement?

A: Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act provides that no person may serve as an investment adviser to a fund except pursuant to a written contract that, among other things, has been approved by a vote of a majority of the fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the 1940 Act. Material changes to existing advisory contracts are deemed to effectively create new advisory contracts that require shareholder approval. The proposed new Investment Management Agreement between HFMC and the Companies (the “New Agreement”) would enhance and clarify the description of services currently provided by HFMC under the Investment Management Agreements between HMF and HFMC and HMF II and HFMC (the “Current Agreements”). While the Boards do not view the differences between the Current Agreements and the New Agreement to be material, the Boards are asking shareholders to approve the New Agreement. If approved by shareholders, the New Agreement would not result in an increase in overall fees paid by the Funds.

Q: Why am I being asked to approve changes to each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction on the purchase or sale of commodities?

A: The 1940 Act requires mutual funds to have certain “fundamental” investment policies that can only be changed by shareholder vote, including a policy on investments in commodities. The current fundamental policy on commodities for many of the Funds has been in place for a long time, and the Funds are proposing to modernize it to provide for flexibility and the ability to adapt to a changing regulatory environment. This Proposal also would result in all of the Funds having the same fundamental policy on commodities. We expect that these changes would have no effect on the investment strategies described in each Fund’s prospectus, and the Boards and HFMC have no current intention to change the way in which any Fund is managed as a result of the changes to the fundamental investment policy.

For many of the Funds, the current policy states that the Funds will not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except that the Funds may purchase or sell financial futures contracts, options on financial futures contracts and futures contracts, forward contracts, and options with respect to foreign currencies, and may enter into swap transactions or other financial transactions of any kind. Certain Funds have adopted a more flexible policy, which allows these Funds to purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts to the extent permitted by applicable law and as set forth in each Fund’s registration statement (which includes the prospectus). Proposal 3 would give all of the Funds the ability to invest in commodities-related instruments to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations, interpretations, and the Funds’ registration statements. HFMC is not proposing to allow the Funds to purchase or sell physical commodities. Again, we expect that these changes would have no effect on the investment strategies of any Fund, and the Boards and HFMC have no current intention to change the way in which any Fund is managed as a result of the changes to the fundamental investment restriction.

Q: Why am I being asked to approve changes to each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction on the purchase or sale of real estate?

A: The 1940 Act requires mutual funds to have a fundamental policy on investments in real estate. The proposed changes in Proposal 4 are intended to modernize each Fund’s existing fundamental investment policy on the purchase or sale of real estate and provide flexibility in the event of future changes to the regulatory environment. All of the Funds are part of this Proposal to retain consistency across the Funds. We expect that these changes would have no effect on the investment strategies described in each Fund’s prospectus, and the Boards and HFMC have no current intention to change the way in which any Fund is managed as a result of the changes to the fundamental investment policy.

The current policy states that the Funds will not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments, although each Fund may purchase securities secured by real estate or interests therein, or securities issued by companies which invest in real estate or interests therein. Proposal 4 would clarify the Funds’ existing fundamental policy on the purchase or sale of real estate and provide flexibility in the event of future changes to the regulatory environment. Again, we expect that these changes would have no effect on the investment strategies of any Fund, and the Boards and HFMC have no current intention to change the way in which any Fund is managed as a result of the changes to the fundamental investment policy.

Q: Why am I being asked to approve changes to each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction on concentration?

A: The 1940 Act requires mutual funds to establish and disclose in their registration statements a fundamental policy that restricts a fund’s ability to “concentrate” its investments in a particular industry or group of industries. The current policy for the Funds refers to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) interpretation of the meaning of the term “concentrate,” which generally involves investments of more than 25% of a fund’s assets. It is proposed that the term “concentrate” be described with a reference to the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, as they may be interpreted or modified from time to time by regulatory authorities having appropriate jurisdiction. Proposal 5 would allow the Funds to take advantage of any future changes in the law or interpretations of what it means for a Fund to concentrate its investments in an industry or group of industries. In addition, approval of Proposal 5 would clarify that a Fund’s conversion to a fund of funds or master-feeder structure would be permissible in the future if HFMC and the Board believe such a change would be appropriate.

Q: Why are shareholders being asked to approve a proposal to permit HFMC to select and contract with sub-advisers without shareholder approval?

A: Under Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act, an investment manager to a mutual fund cannot enter into or materially amend a sub- advisory agreement without obtaining shareholder approval. With the exception of The Hartford Growth Allocation Fund and The Hartford Checks and Balances Fund, shareholders have previously approved the Funds’ reliance on a “manager of managers” exemptive order (the “Existing Order”) from that requirement and certain other requirements under the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Therefore, many Hartford Funds historically have operated under a “manager of managers” structure, utilizing both affiliated and unaffiliated sub-advisers as part of both single and multiple sub-adviser arrangements. HFMC has significant experience in overseeing sub-advisers under such arrangements. The Existing Order, among other things, allows HFMC, with the relevant Board’s approval and without shareholder approval, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers that are not affiliated with the investment manager or those funds. Other than The Hartford Growth Allocation Fund and The Hartford Checks and Balances Fund, shareholders of the Funds have previously approved the Funds’ operation under this structure.

HFMC and the Companies have requested exemptive relief from the SEC that would extend the Existing Order to also cover sub-advisers that are indirect or direct “wholly-owned subsidiaries” of HFMC, as defined in the 1940 Act, or sister companies of HFMC that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of a company that, indirectly or directly, wholly owns HFMC (the “New Order”). Although HFMC does not currently utilize a sub-adviser in its management of all of the Funds, and does not utilize a wholly-owned subsidiary sub-adviser for any Fund, the Boards believe that it is in the Funds’ best interests for HFMC to have the flexibility to do so in the future, with the relevant Board’s approval. The Boards believe that permitting HFMC to select and contract with sub-advisers, without incurring the delay and expense involved with obtaining shareholder approval of new sub-advisory agreements or material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements, is appropriate and in the best interest of each Fund’s shareholders and will allow each Fund to operate more efficiently. There is no guarantee that the SEC will grant the New Order. By prospectively approving this Proposal, shareholders are approving the operation of the Funds in a “manager of managers” structure under any such terms or conditions necessary to satisfy the conditions of any relief provided by the SEC, including potential future relief that may apply to any affiliated sub-adviser.

In summary, most Funds operate under the Existing Order which permits the Funds to select and enter into sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated sub-advisers without shareholder approval. If approved by shareholders, Proposal 6 would extend this policy so that all of the Funds could select and enter into sub-advisory agreements with both affiliated and non-affiliated sub-advisers without shareholder approval, subject to the conditions of the New Order.

Q: Will the Proposals result in higher total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense limitation for any Fund?

A: No. The Proposals are not expected to result in an increase in total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement for any Fund, as shown in the respective Fund’s prospectus.

Q: Who will pay the costs incurred in connection with the Meeting?

A: Each Fund will pay its proportionate share of the expenses relating to the enclosed Notice and Joint Proxy Statement and the Meeting, including printing, mailing, solicitation, vote tabulation, legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses. These costs are considered “extraordinary expenses” and are therefore expected to be excluded from any expense limitations currently in effect for any of the Funds.

Q: Do the Boards recommend that shareholders approve the Proposals?

A: Yes. The Boards recommend that you vote FOR the Proposals.

Q: How can I vote?

A: You can vote:
