A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholders

Thank you for investing in Hartford Mutual Funds. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report covering the period from November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2023.

Market Review

During the 12 months ended October 31, 2023, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,¹ gained 10.14%. While the results were positive for the period, it was nonetheless a turbulent ride for investors as brief surges of optimism were repeatedly challenged by episodes of extreme volatility and uncertainty over the direction of inflation, interest rates, economic growth, and Federal Reserve (Fed) policy—as well as a brief but troubling banking crisis and a late-period rise in U.S. Treasury yields.

At the start of the period, most major equity indices were rising in response to a succession of Consumer Price Index (CPI)² reports showing that inflation, after peaking at 9.1% in June 2022, had tapered off to well below 6% by March 2023. The improved inflation outlook prompted the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to reduce the size of its rate hikes from three-quarters of a percent to a half-percent increase in December 2022, followed by two consecutive quarter-percent hikes.

Nonetheless, most of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s public statements provided a consistent message that interest rates would still need to stay “higher for longer” until inflation had been sufficiently vanquished—which for the Fed meant a target inflation rate of 2%. Investor sentiment remained volatile as equities soared in January 2023 but pulled back in February 2023.

A sudden March 2023 banking crisis involving the liquidation of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank also shook market sentiment briefly. Sensing fragility in the financial sector, the Fed used its June 2023 meeting to pause its rate hikes for a month. Fortuitously, the CPI report issued during the same month showed annual inflation had dropped to 3%. At the period’s end, the rate had risen to 3.7%.

In May 2023, an unexpectedly positive forward-guidance report from chipmaker NVIDIA helped kick off a surprise stock rally, lifting the value of growth-oriented equities, particularly those linked to artificial-intelligence technology. The rally continued through July 2023 before finally cooling off amidst a sudden surge in U.S. Treasury yields. As of the end of the period, the yield on the bellwether 10-Year Treasury note had climbed to 4.88% amid signals from the Fed that resilience in the economy would likely force the Fed to delay interest rate cuts to 2024. Earlier predictions of imminent recession became more muted.

As 2024 approaches, the continuation of strong consumer demand and relatively low unemployment seems likely to create even greater uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s timetable for keeping interest rates elevated. With volatility likely to persist, even into the new year, it’s more important than ever to maintain a strong relationship with your financial professional.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders China A Fund returned -1.60%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI China A Onshore Index (Net), which returned -0.11% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the 8.17% average return of the Lipper China Region Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

The China markets saw a very sharp rebound in the last quarter of 2022 from those very ‘oversold’ levels. The recovery was driven by the long-awaited relaxation of Covid measures. The Chinese authorities have also taken more decisive steps to support activity in the domestic property market during the period through the provision of increased liquidity support to many of the distressed private sector developers. This shift in stance is important as the emphasis moves from encouraging deleveraging towards supporting activity and economic growth in this key industry. Nonetheless, the positive sentiments failed to sustain in 2023 due to the re-escalation of geopolitical tension between U.S. and China. The unexciting 2023 gross domestic product (GDP) growth target for China of 5% announced by China’s new leadership team also cooled off the overall market sentiment. Investors were also disappointed with the anemic economic recovery as well as the lack of concerted policy efforts from the government to turnaround the weak economic situation in China.

From an allocation perspective, the underweight in the Financials sector and overweight in the Materials sector detracted performance the most. Stock selections in these two sectors were favorable during the period, offsetting part of the negative impact. At the stock level, online gaming company Perfect World was a key contributor as it continued to benefit from the recovery in China’s gaming industry. Investors also liked the company for its rich game pipeline. Online financial platform Hithink RoyalFlush Information Network also rallied as investors believed the company can benefit from the artificial intelligence trend given its massive data base gathered from its daily business operation. Gold miner Zijin Mining Group went higher alongside gold prices, as investors looked for safe heaven amid the banking crisis in the U.S. and Europe and the weak macroeconomic outlook in China during the period. On the flip side, medical equipment company Qingdao Haier Biomedical traded lower as investors were conscious that the government’s budget for Healthcare infrastructure could be lower than expected amid a weak macroeconomic outlook. Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt remained weak alongside the soft cobalt price

as a result of surging supply of cobalt. Piesat Information Technology, a remote sensing and navigation satellite application services provider, was weak as its operating results were disappointing.

During the period, the Fund did not use derivatives.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

Recent macroeconomic data has suggested activity in China is bottoming out, aided by an improvement in consumption, industrial activity and exports. We believe there is scope for the growth momentum to continue through the fourth quarter of 2023 and into 2024, supported by further monetary policy easing.

However, housing market activity and private investment remain sluggish, probably due to structural problems – a weak labour market and a lack of confidence towards the economic outlook. Ongoing U.S.-China tensions and the local-government debt issue also remain serious concerns that have led international investors to sell positions in China, adding further downward pressure to the local markets, in our view.

These macroeconomic risks, however, seem to be priced in, in our view; indeed, share prices in China are not far off the levels seen late last year in the depths of the Covid restrictions, when the outlook was far more uncertain. Given this mismatch in valuations against fundamentals, and the current low expectations for markets, we continue to see attractive opportunities on a bottom-up basis.

While we share many of the market’s concerns about the structural challenges China faces, we still believe there is room for the authorities to surprise positively with well-coordinated policy support for the economy. We also think that better-managed businesses with stronger franchises can still deliver growth, despite a slower GDP growth backdrop.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • The Fund invests in China A shares through Stock Connect, which is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. To the extent the Fund invests in China A shares listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai stock exchange and/or the ChiNext market of the Shenzhen stock exchange, the risks are heightened. • Risks associated with investments in China include currency fluctuation, political, economic, social, environmental, regulatory and other risks, including risks associated with differing legal standards. Focusing investments in China subjects the Fund to more volatility and greater risk of loss than

a fund with more geographically diverse investments. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets, such as China. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, regulatory and counterparty risk. These risks may be greater and include additional risks for foreign equity securities. • Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest in a smaller number of issuers, and may be more exposed to risks and volatility than a more broadly diversified fund. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs and an investor's tax liability. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class SDR shares of the Hartford Schroders Diversified Emerging Markets Fund returned 7.22% for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), which returned 10.80% for the period. Over the same period, the Class SDR shares of the Fund underperformed the 12.32% average return of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds peer group, which is a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, the Fund underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) over the past 12 months, with most of the lag occurring in the third quarter of 2023 as global equities consolidated. Markets were rotational during the period but moved higher from depressed levels in late 2022, with deeper value at the top of the leader board. Conversely, stocks with stable quality value and high growth characteristics were more challenged on a relative basis, underperforming in an up market. Despite persistent negative headlines regarding the direction of the Chinese economy, the market significantly outpaced the broader MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) during the 12-month period, with all the outperformance unfolding in a brief spurt in the fourth quarter, 2022 as the government ended their zero COVID policy. China lags the other markets within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) materially on a year-to-date basis through October 31, 2023.

Relative performance was challenged during period, primarily in the third quarter of 2023, as the market backdrop largely penalized higher quality mega cap stocks. The Fund’s overweight positions in higher quality Chinese internet companies such as JD.com detracted as the shares declined in sympathy with waning domestic economic sentiment. The Fund’s underweight in PDD Holdings was also a challenge as the lower end online retailer continued to gain market share as Chinese consumers traded down for more affordable products. Indian banks ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank rounded out high quality, mega cap overweight holdings that underperformed during the period. Within the lower market capitalization Fund exposure, an underweight to low quality value segments of Chinese banks and

autos, as well as low quality artificial intelligence (AI) and electric vehicle thematic names (e.g., POSCO, Quanta) also weighed on relative performance.

However, the Fund benefited from favorable positioning in Utilities, emerging markets (EM) Asian semiconductors and portions of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia. Within Utilities, favorable positioning in renewable electric utility groups in Brazil and India buoyed relative performance. Shares in high quality mega cap semiconductor group TSMC rose sharply over the 12-month period, in part supported by the euphoria surrounding AI trends as the company is the dominant chip manufacturer at the leading edge in the industry. In South Korea, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix were also notable mega cap semiconductor outperformers, while the Fund also benefited from positive equity selection in select lower market capitalization quality pharmaceutical holdings. Finally, an overweight stance and solid stock selection in smaller country markets in EM Europe, the Middle East and Africa, (Poland, Greece, Hungary) also contributed positively to relative performance, as positions in deeper value and quality cyclical banks, staples and Industrials added value.

Derivatives were used within the Fund during the period in the form of index futures and were only used for efficient management of fund inflows and outflows; these futures had no material impact on overall Fund performance for the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

Looking back at the year so far has once again highlighted the perils of attempting to link investment positions to economic forecasts. Very few mainstream forecasters foresaw the resilience of global growth, and those that did were expecting China, not the U.S., to be the dominant economy. Yet another big miss was the dramatic rise in U.S. bond yields (the consensus forecast in January 2023 for the Treasury 10-year yield for year-end was 3.4% compared to 4.6% at end September 2023).

pull off the elusive “no-landing” scenario, but with inflation falling more slowly than hoped, interest rates will remain higher for longer in developed markets at least, in our view.

Fortunately, we do not feel the need to be very brave when it comes to predicting the potential range of market scenarios. This is primarily because we believe there is a very wide range of both Value and Quality opportunities across the universe which do not require taking outsized industry or region positions. However, almost all our concerns at the beginning of the year remain front of mind. They could be glibly summarized as “the big picture is still uncertain” and “history will only provide some of the answers”. Given this, we believe it may be better to take the opportunities that are pushed our way and spend more time thinking about what is priced in today than forecasting tomorrow.

Our preference is to build a diversified portfolio bottom-up to capture multiple themes while scaling up insights to seek to exploit the broadest possible opportunity set. We are still concerned about a harder than expected landing, particularly since it no longer appears to be discounted which, in our view, warrants a focus on quality characteristics such as robust balance sheets and the ability to defend profit margins during a downturn. Selected allocations to preferred high quality defensive stocks is one way to hedge such an outcome in our view. However, if this fails to materialize, we believe economic sensitivity can be found in technology and export focused industries. For deep value, we believe the Financials and Energy sectors remain the key stamping ground. We remain wary of the Real Estate sector from a balance sheet perspective.

In summary, the Fund remains well diversified across both stocks and themes, albeit with a bias towards Quality. Given the potential for higher treasury yields to break “something” in the system, we would not be surprised to encounter bursts in volatility associated with short rotations in market leadership. This has historically rewarded nimbleness, which we take to mean trading little but often.

In the meantime, the apparent lack of direction in markets at present also offers the opportunity for stock specifics to rise in importance, which would naturally lead to greater dispersion in our view.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets or if the Fund focuses in a particular geographic region or country, such as China. • Risks associated with investments in China include currency fluctuation, political, economic, social, environmental, regulatory and other risks, including risks associated with differing legal standards. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, regulatory and counterparty risk. • Applying sustainability criteria to the investment process may result in foregoing

certain investments and underperformance comparative to funds that do not have a similar focus. There is a risk that the securities identified by the sub-adviser as meeting its sustainable investing criteria do not operate as anticipated. • The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs and an investor's tax liability.

Over the same period, Class SDR shares of the Fund underperformed the -3.62% average return of the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds peer group, which is a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

In a weak October 2023 for financial markets, equities were broadly lower as conflict in the Middle East negatively affected risk appetites. Government bond yields rose as interest rates are expected to stay higher for longer. U.S. equities (S&P 500 Index, -2.20%) fell in October 2023 as the expected end to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) tighter policy environment had been pushed back and the geopolitical temperature rose. During the period, inflation remained elevated and the broader U.S. economy remained very robust. Eurozone, UK, Asia ex Japan, and Emerging Market (EM) equities all fell over the month. In fixed income, bond markets were significantly influenced by expectations of sustained higher interest rates. In commodities, Energy was the worst-performing component with sharp declines in the price of oil.

Equities were the main detractor as gains in EM, Europe, and Japan equities were not able to offset losses from Global and U.S. equities. Within U.S. equities, our allocation to an actively managed equity strategy, Schroders U.S. Diversified (a growth oriented equity strategy), was our largest detractor followed by our allocation to Nasdaq index future. These losses were softened by positive performance from our tactical short position in the S&P 500 Index future. Within fixed income, the Fund suffered from losses in government bonds, specifically our allocation to U.S. 10-year Treasury

Ultra position, as yields increased. We implemented this via an Ultra position, which is a form of a futures contract that provides slightly longer duration than a normal 10-year Treasury futures contract. Furthermore, allocations to corporate bonds dragged on performance as investment grade corporate bond spreads widened, indicating underperformance relative to government bonds. High yield bonds delivered negative total returns as well. The Fund received positive performance from its cash positioning and currency hedges implemented over the period. These were able to soften losses in other parts of the portfolio.

The Fund used derivatives over the period to manage risk and enhance returns as well as for the efficient implementation of asset allocation decisions including relative value trades. The use of derivatives over the period positively impacted performance.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

Over October 2023, there continued to be evidence that inflation is trending lower, but the U.S. labor market is still more resilient than expected. This leads us to believe that central bank rates are reaching a plateau but also that any hope of an imminent pivot to lower rates is premature. In the absence of a more material softening in the labor market, it is too early to position for a hard landing. As a consequence, we have closed our position in the U.S. 5-year Treasury notes as of the end of the period. As of the end of the period, we are avoiding the long end of the U.S. yield curve due to concerns about government debt levels and given yield curve inversion.

In the absence of recessionary risks in the short term, we expect the S&P 500 Index to rally into year-end. Similarly, the sell-off in bond markets has resulted in attractive yields in U.S. high yield debt in our view. We believe corporate and household balance sheets remain strong, standing them in good stead to digest tightening financial conditions and moderate growth without a significant pick up in defaults.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned 10.37%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, marginally underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), which returned 10.80% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the 12.31% average return of the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Emerging market (EM) equities rose strongly over the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023, and were marginally ahead of developed peers. After a strong fourth quarter 2022, EM began 2023 optimistic that an earlier and more-comprehensive-than-expected relaxation of the dynamic zero-Covid policy by the Chinese authorities would lead to a robust rebound. As the year progressed, China’s recovery proved more lackluster than initially hoped, U.S.-China tensions re-escalated and problems in China’s property sector resurfaced. While these factors weighed on broad EM sentiment to some extent, the start of the EM easing cycle, triggered by Chile’s lowering of interest rates at the end of July 2023, was supportive, as were signs of improved economic activity in China later in the period.

Emerging European markets were particularly strong over the period, helped by monetary policy easing in the region. In Poland, which was the top-performing index market, rates were cut twice in the period. The electoral victory of Donald Tusk’s pro-European Civic platform, which unseated the ruling party in an election that saw record high turnout, added to sentiment. Hungary, where interest rates were also cut during the period, performed well, as did Egypt, Greece and Czech Republic. In Greece, the ruling New Democracy party won a second term in office in May 2023, signalling a continuation of market friendly policies, which underpinned the market’s rally.

Taiwan and Turkey were also well ahead of the index. In the former, investor interest in technology companies, particularly those associated with the artificial intelligence theme, contributed positively to returns. Meanwhile, Turkey rallied as the central bank raised rates five times in five months to 35% in October 2023, sparking hopes the country may be adopting a more orthodox policy approach. However, inflation remains above 60%.

China was another strong performer. Although concerns about an anaemic economic recovery and property sector problems dominated market sentiment earlier in the period, some improved data releases later in the period were beneficial, as were signs - which emerged in October 2023 - of a potential easing in U.S.-China geopolitical tension.

Mexico performed broadly in line with the index while the remaining markets, including Korea and India, underperformed. Brazil and South Africa lagged too. Brazil’s underperformance came even as fiscal policy concerns eased, interest rates were lowered, and economic data releases improved. South Africa continues to be plagued by an ongoing power crisis which has had severe consequences for economic growth.

The smaller Latin American markets of Peru and Chile delivered negative returns, with Asian markets Thailand and Indonesia also down. Some of the Energy sensitive markets such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar also fell in U.S. dollar terms.

In terms of the contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance, country allocation was positive although offset to some extent by negative stock selection.

Country allocation added to returns owing to the underweights to Saudi Arabia and Thailand, the overweights to Greece and Hungary, and the zero-weight to Kuwait. Meanwhile, the Fund’s positioning in China, which varied during the period, detracted, as did the overweight to South Africa.

Stock selection’s overall negative impact was largely owing to positions in China (overweight LONGi Green Energy Technology, underweight PDD Holdings). Stock selection also weighed on returns in Brazil (underweight Petrobras) and India (overweight Cipla). Conversely, the Fund benefited from stock selection in South Africa (overweight Gold Fields), Taiwan (overweight Accton Technology and TSMC) and Mexico (overweight Fomento Económico Mexicano).

During the period there was some limited over-the-counter activity in a few offshore listed Russian holdings. We took advantage of this opportunity to reduce exposure. As we had valued all remaining Russian positions at zero, there was a positive impact on the Fund.

Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

U.S. macroeconomic data has been more resilient than anticipated this year, with the third quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth print particularly strong, providing support to global growth. We believe a slowdown is still on the cards for 2024, though the extent of this remains uncertain given the current health of the U.S. economy.

There is growing consensus that Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy tightening for this cycle is at a peak. We believe the probability of a soft landing has picked up as growth has remained resilient while inflation has moderated. As the lagged impact of higher interest rates continues to take effect, some degree of deceleration in growth may feed through in our view. Slower developed market (DM) growth may drive some moderation in bond yields and the U.S. dollar and enable the Fed to begin to ease monetary policy.

While there are some specific exceptions, most EM economies have limited imbalances, particularly when compared with previous cycles, and this may provide some protection in our view. In the absence of a major financial crisis, slower DM growth may benefit EM. Indeed, EM’s resilience through the recent U.S. Treasury sell off was notable; in previous cycles EM central banks had to raise interest rates more reactively. This also reflects the limited presence of carry trade flows in EM.

Our 2024 outlook is for EM to see greater disinflation, opening the door to further monetary policy loosening in our view. The degree of prospective easing differs by market in our view. Upside risks to the outlook stem from higher energy and food prices, both of which have higher weights in many EM inflation baskets. The conflict in the Middle East has raised uncertainty over the outlook for energy prices, though crude oil prices have been weaker over recent weeks. Leading indicators point to higher food prices in 2024, while a more severe El Niño poses further upward risk to food inflation.

As of the end the period, the global trade cycle is showing signs of inflection, and leading indicators have been signaling improvement into 2024 in our view. The tech cycle is also expected to pick up next year in our view. We believe this is positive for EM exporters, though a DM recession is a risk to this outlook.

Chinese economic data has been slightly better than expected recently. The third quarter GDP benefited from a pick-up in consumption and manufacturing output, though the Real Estate sector remained weak. The outlook continues to be challenging, amid fragile consumer confidence, and post-Covid economic scarring. Despite some measures to support the Real Estate market, renewed weakness in home sales, together with financial distress among some developers, does not augur well for an imminent recovery in our view. The additional RMB1 trillion, equivalent to 0.8% of GDP, in stimulus announced over the past month is positive, but is unlikely to mark a step change in the recovery in our view. The authorities have policy

flexibility to support economic growth though, and further tools remain at their disposal if required. We believe the structural outlook continues to be challenging, with geopolitics a long-term risk. That said, we believe pessimism towards China equities is significant, while aggregate valuations are cheap.

We believe EM valuations are cheap on a range of measures, even if the degree of cheapness is lower than that seen a year ago.

There are various risks to the outlook. We believe a sharper-than-expected deceleration in global growth would likely be negative for EM, at least on a near term basis, but could lead to an easing in the U.S. dollar and bond yields from elevated levels. Evolution of the conflict in the Middle East is a key watchpoint with regards to the path in oil prices, and risk aversion could keep U.S. yields and the U.S. dollar higher for longer. We believe the progression of El Niño is important to monitor in relation to the outlook for inflation. More-significant-than-expected stimulus in China and/or material improvement in U.S.-China relations pose upside risk to markets in our view. There are also a series of key EM elections in 2024. These include India, Indonesia, South Africa and Mexico.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund returned 10.39%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, slightly outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, JP Morgan Emerging Markets Blended Index (JEMB) - Equal Weighted, which returned 10.37% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, outperformed the 10.07% average return of the Lipper International Emerging Markets Hard Currency Debt peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Emerging-markets debt, as measured by the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Blended Index (JEMB) - Equal Weighted, returned 10.37% for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023. Emerging-markets bonds rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2022, as issuers were supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and nascent signs of a turn in inflation. Anticipation regarding China’s reopening and a sudden shift away from zero-COVID lockdowns led to a rally in Chinese Industrials and Macau gaming. In the U.S., there was early evidence that the encouraging inflation picture was starting to reverse as core inflation

measures ticked higher once more. However, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in mid-March 2023 dwarfed concerns over re-accelerating inflation and prompted a sharp rally in government bond markets at the end of the first quarter 2023. In its March meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) expressed confidence in the resilience of the U.S. banking system and raised the policy rate by 25 basis points in both February and March 2023. This took borrowing costs to the highest point since 2007. However, inflation – as measured by the core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) index – climbed less than expected in March, leading to speculation that further rate increases would be limited.

Positioning within hard currency sovereigns and corporates were the top contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Blended Index (JEMB) - Equal Weighted for the period. In terms of individual countries, our overweight to El Salvador was the largest contributor to performance in the period. El Salvador continued to benefit from improvements in its fundamental trajectory—increasing likelihood of an IMF program, proposed local debt extension, signs of increased foreign direct investment, and an improving security situation which has driven performance from the issuer over the period.

Fund Overview – (continued)
October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Security selection in the Sovereign sector contributed positively to performance for the period, with significant positive impacts from Omani and Dominican dollar-denominated debt. Sector selection contributed positively throughout the period most notably by El Salvador and Nigeria. Performance among hard currency sovereigns was partially offset by exposure to Sri Lanka, Egypt, and Turkey.

The Fund’s asset allocation in the local currency sector was positive on the whole for the period, largely due to the Fund’s underweight to the sector throughout. The Fund’s underweight to the sector contributed positively to relative performance for the period, as local-currency assets trailed the broader emerging-markets debt sector. Local currencies were hindered by a strengthening U.S. dollar and rise in interest rates, which offset positive effects of rising Energy prices. Conversely, some local currency Sovereign exposure partially offset outperformance for the period, notably South Africa, Poland, and Thailand.

The Fund used foreign exchange (FX) forwards, credit default swaps (CDS), and interest-rate futures during the period. The FX forwards, a type of derivative used for the purposes of adding or hedging local-currency exposure, aided performance during the period. Interest-rate futures, used for managing portfolio duration, were additive, and CDS aided relative returns. The Fund is underweight duration against the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Blended Index (JEMB) - Equal Weighted as of the end of the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

The defensive stance recently maintained by our strategies was broadly characterized by low duration exposures and relatively high levels of currency hedging. Core exposures to our favored high (real) yielding emerging markets (EM) local and dollar debt markets were maintained in countries where we have seen effective and advanced monetary policy tightening cycles and where balance of payments adjustments have been accomplished. This notably includes Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Indonesia, South Africa, and Nigeria.

We believe that there is now a need to reassess our cautious stance on duration and currency position, given that we are seeing the U.S. start to experience pockets of weakness. Our long-established technical target of 5% for the U.S. 30-year Treasury bonds has been reached. For these reasons, we are reinforcing some of the core exposures noted above and have been adding to currency and duration exposures. With the prospects of U.S. Treasury bonds possibly stabilizing at their recent oversold levels, we believe several EM dollar debt markets may benefit from this.

Given the continued inflation improvements experienced by countries with high 10-year yields (namely the ones mentioned above), the recent correction higher in bond yields has made them even more attractive in our view based on our valuation framework. This recent correction higher in EM local currency debt yields has also been accompanied by a significant washout in investors’ currency positioning. We believe that Latin American currencies may benefit given the high level of carry, strong trade balance support, and the continued resilience in commodity prices.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Foreign investments, including foreign government debt, may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets or if the Fund focuses in a particular geographic region or country. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, regulatory and counterparty risk. • Restricted securities may be more difficult to sell and price than other securities. • The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. • Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest in a smaller number of issuers, and may be more exposed to risks and volatility than a more broadly diversified fund. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class SDR shares of the Hartford Schroders International Contrarian Value Fund returned 24.84% for the twelve month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Value Index (Net), which returned 18.11% for the same period, and outperforming the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net), which returned 14.40% for the same period. For the same period, the Class SDR shares of the Fund outperformed the 16.37% average return of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Value Index (Net), for the period. Stock selection in names within the U.K. and Italy as well as stock selection within the Industrials sector more broadly contributed positively towards Fund performance over the period.

On the positive side of the ledger, the Fund’s position in Rolls Royce was the top contributor. The share price has risen significantly over the past 12 months. First, as sentiment improved, and then as operational performance came through (helped in no small part by Rolls-Royce grasping the once in a generation opportunity afforded by COVID to restructure its cost base – significant improvements in its revenues, profits, cash flow and new orders have come through as a result).

Italian bank UniCredit continued to perform well during the period. Banks have benefited from rising bond yields (enabling them to reprice loans at higher rates), which has supported profitability. In January 2023, UniCredit reported record full-year profits for 2022 and announced plans to return €5.25 billion to shareholders this year. This is part of the company’s plan to return €16 billion by 2024.

German cement maker Heidelberg Materials and tire manufacturer Continental also supported portfolio performance. Both are Energy intensive businesses and so worries over high European power prices, and possible gas shortages, have dented sentiment towards these

stocks since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, reductions in overall usage, plus generally mild winter weather, have allayed concerns over power cuts and seen gas prices fall significantly.

On the negative side of the book, the Fund’s holding in Bayer weighed on returns and was the lead detractor for the period. This may be due to some slightly weak guidance for the year as the new CEO begins to take hold of the business.

WPP, an advertising group; and another holding in the Fund during the period, came under pressure and detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Value Index (Net), as the company management lowered its profits guidance, citing a reduction in spending by major U.S. tech companies. Taking a longer-term view, we believe the shares are significantly undervalued. WPP is a higher-quality, cash generative business with a robust balance sheet. The market remains fixated on the structural threat to old-school advertisers from the shift to digital, but this shift has accelerated WPP’s sales at similar margins to ‘traditional’ advertising.

Derivatives in the form of futures were used in the Fund during the period for efficient portfolio management purposes and had no material impact on performance.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, the equity market drawdown resulted in plenty of new equities appearing on our valuation screens. We continue to use a long-term time horizon, and one of our most important areas of focus is on balance-sheet strength. We believe this focus on truly understanding a company’s financial position is important at the best of times and is even more important today. For example, when looking at cyclical businesses we seek to identify companies that trade at a substantial discount to their fair or intrinsic value, with robust capital positions to help them weather short-term downturns in the economic cycle and which have attractive long-term prospects that may be underappreciated today.

Overall, we believe the Fund remains well-diversified and retains a larger-cap bias. The majority of the companies that the Fund holds are “global” in nature (companies generating revenues from multiple different countries in multiple different currencies), which in our view

may help to limit the damage from ongoing volatility in the currency markets. As of the end of the period, we are cautious, focusing on areas that stand to benefit the Fund over the coming years.

Important Risks

The Fund is new and has a limited operating history. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets or if the Fund focuses in a particular geographic region or country. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Different investment styles may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Because the Fund may hold a limited number of securities, the Fund is subject to a greater risk of loss if any of those securities decline in price. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund returned 12.31%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), which returned 12.07% for the period, while underperforming the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Value Index (Net), which returned 15.07% over the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the 16.37% average return of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Value peer group, which is a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Over the course of the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, the Fund underperformed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Value Index (Net) as markets moved higher from oversold levels in late 2022; the Fund fared much better against the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), outperforming during the period. Market trends have been punctuated by a meaningful shift away from defensive value, which outperformed in the early part of 2022 in sympathy with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Later in the year, and into 2023, investors began to anticipate a U.S. Federal Reserve pivot on burgeoning signs of moderating inflation pressures and recession fears, sparking a recovery in growth

versus value. By the end of the period, persistent inflationary trends and a stronger than expected U.S. economy put upward pressure on rates, buoying deeper value cyclical stocks relative to growth.

At a high level, the year was a challenging backdrop for the Fund’s diversified approach versus the MSCI ACWI ex USA. Value Index (Net) as a narrow set of deep value themes led top performers (e.g., insurers, deep value banks, manufacturing and autos). Within the Fund, stock selection in the Communication Services and Utilities sectors was additive. Favorable stock selection in quality cyclical Chinese internet platform companies aided relative performance. A selection of deep value multi-line and water utility holdings in the UK, as well as positioning in emerging markets electric Utilities served the Fund well as the group rallied from depressed levels in the fourth quarter of 2022, in part on better-than-expected domestic economic trends

Headwinds to performance were primarily driven by a mix effect within the Fund’s quality cyclical value exposure alongside some underperformance from the Fund’s stable, defensive value positioning. Within the Fund’s quality cyclical value exposure, Brazilian and Norwegian Energy, Australian miners and Mexican airport operators were notable challenges to performance over the period. Select Japanese and European pharmaceutical holdings also lagged during the period, creating a relative performance headwind in the Fund’s stable value positioning.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

The retracement in equities during the third quarter of 2023 was indicative of a more sanguine market, but hardly represented a reversal of prior trends. Ambivalence may be a better description as few investors appear to be sticking their necks out, perhaps rightly so in our view. Nevertheless, the generally accepted view seems to be that the world is heading for a soft-landing and may even manage to pull off the elusive “no-landing” scenario, but with inflation falling more slowly than hoped, interest rates will remain higher for longer in developed markets at least, in our view.

Fortunately, we do not feel the need to be very brave when it comes to predicting the potential range of market scenarios. This is primarily because we believe there is a very wide range of both Value and Quality opportunities across the universe which do not require taking outsized industry or region positions. However, almost all of our concerns at the beginning of the year remain front of mind. They could be glibly summarized as “the big picture is still uncertain” and “history will only provide some of the answers”. Given this, we believe it may be better to take the opportunities that are pushed our way and spend more time thinking about what is priced in today than forecasting tomorrow.

Our preference is to build a diversified portfolio bottom-up to capture multiple themes while scaling up insights to seek to exploit the broadest possible opportunity set. We are still concerned about a harder than expected landing, particularly since it no longer appears to be discounted, which, in our view, warrants a focus on quality characteristics such as robust balance sheets and the ability to defend profit margins during a downturn. Selected allocations to preferred high quality defensive stocks is one way to hedge such an outcome in our view. However, if this fails to materialize, we believe economic sensitivity can be found in technology and export focused industries. For deep value, we believe the Financials and Energy sectors remain the key stamping ground. We remain wary of the Real Estate sector from a balance sheet perspective.

meantime, the apparent lack of direction in markets at present also offers the opportunity for stock specifics to rise in importance, which would naturally lead to greater dispersion, in our view.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund returned 12.58%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), which returned 12.07% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, outperformed the 10.34% average return of the Lipper International Large Cap Growth peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

International equities posted gains over the volatile twelve-month period as a successful “soft landing” for inflation and the economy became a likely outcome. Gains came despite the collapse of several regional banks in the U.S. and Credit Suisse in Switzerland, which caused significant volatility in the banking sector in early 2023 and unprecedented market concentration, as returns were driven by investor enthusiasm around the ‘super 7’ artificial intelligence related tech stocks, before broadening out later in the period. China’s equity market was initially boosted by the relaxation of its zero-COVID policy before weakening in 2023 as the property sector downturn took its toll on confidence, European equities advanced strongly as worries over winter gas shortages were eased with storage facilities close to capacity after a ramp-up in imports and lower demand amid mild weather and Energy-saving measures. Shares in Japan also rose solidly, reaching a 33-year high amidst a renewed corporate focus on productivity and profitability alongside the Bank of Japan’s shift away

from yield curve control. Central banks across the globe remained vigilant in tightening monetary conditions as inflationary pressures cooled off but remained persistent.

Amid this challenging market backdrop, both stock selection and asset allocation were strong, adding to returns as the Fund outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) over the period. Over the period, the Fund’s Information Technology holdings were the largest contributors.

Within the Consumer Discretionary sector, online retailer Mercado Libre has been a major beneficiary of the switch to ecommerce, which was accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic and unlike in many developed markets, the company has not experienced such a big pull back as consumers return to physical shops. It also benefitted from the announcement of one of its key competitors exiting its operations in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia.

Additionally, semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies was a strong performer after continuing to generate robust revenues despite the current macroeconomic challenges and raised its full-year revenue forecast for 2023 by over 9% compared with 2022. Infineon benefitted from increasing electric vehicle (EV) penetration and wider electrification trends. The company also benefitted from solid pricing power, notably through its Cypress Semiconductor unit, which it acquired in 2020. This helped to bolster profitability and returns.

Conversely, our holdings within the Healthcare sector detracted from performance over the period Our position in Roche Holding was a significant detractor following disappointments in its Alzheimer’s trial

and developmental immuno-oncology treatments last year. It also saw some downward pressure on its diagnostics business which had previously seen a sizable bump during COVID.

As of the end of the period, Healthcare stocks remain a significant overweight in the portfolio. We added a new position in Novo Nordisk, one of the two global leaders in medicines to treat diabetes, during the period, which contributed positively to performance.

By region, holdings in Continental Europe and Japan detracted from performance, while holdings in the emerging markets, North America, and Pacific ex-Japan added value during the period.

Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, the environment is one of high uncertainty for global equities. Tighter financial conditions are beginning to take effect while earnings have already begun to slow and are likely to come under further pressure as costs remain elevated and growth remains sluggish into 2024. A soft-landing economic scenario remains our base case, where we expect a shallow recession in some regions and no recession in others. However, we believe there are clear risks that warrant a fluid outlook.

Though inflation remains elevated, particularly the services component as households shift their spending patterns, we believe headline inflation has peaked in most major economies. While this may serve to ease corporate margin pressure, it will take time for inflation to come down to target levels. Despite the inflationary environment, household spending and consumer demand have proven to be robust largely thanks to excess savings accumulated during the COVID crisis. While these reserves have been dwindling and discretionary expenditure will likely come under some pressure with mortgage costs increasing, we expect wage growth to drive positive real income growth as inflation subsides. This may be supportive of growth looking ahead to 2024. That said, without some slackening in labor markets, central banks will unlikely reverse their current course. This poses a significant risk to earnings growth and corporate costs.

Access to credit has already tightened substantially, driving up cost of debt and equity. Increased costs have begun to result in margin pressure across all regions – albeit from a high starting point. As financial conditions tighten, and the economic cycle turns down, we believe that we are going to see weaker companies fail in many industries.

As of the end of the period, the Fund extended its overweight in the Healthcare sector where we have diverse exposure to a number of companies that we believe are improving patient experiences and helping to lower costs, as well as to a number of positions where we believe their innovative pipeline of drugs remain underappreciated by the market. We also added to the Fund’s holdings in the Information Technology sector as of the end of the period. Conversely, we have shifted to an underweight stance on both Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples, as we expect disposable incomes will fall as consumers struggle with rising inflation and ‘higher for longer’ interest rates. As of the end of the period, the Fund remained underweight in the Financials sector as access to credit has already tightened

substantially in our view, driving up the cost of debt and equity, potentially testing banks’ balance-sheet strength.

Effective after the close of business on 11/12/2021, the Schroder Core Bond Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund (the "Reorganization"). The performance information shown for periods prior to the Reorganization is that of the Predecessor Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, Class SDR shares were called R6 Shares and Class Y shares were called Investor Shares. Class I shares commenced operations on 11/12/2021 and performance prior to this date reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Shares and, prior to 06/29/2020 (the inception date of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Shares), the historical performance, fees and expenses of the Predecessor Fund’s R6 Shares. Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class F shares commenced operations on 11/12/2021 and performance prior to this date reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of the Predecessor Fund’s R6 Shares. Performance for Class Y shares prior to 06/29/2020 (the inception date of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Shares) reflects the historical performance, fees and expenses of R6 Shares of the Predecessor Fund. The returns would be different if the Fund’s fees and expenses were reflected for periods prior to the Reorganization.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class SDR shares of the Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund returned 0.96% for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.36% for the same period. For the same period, the Class SDR shares of the Fund also outperformed the 0.63% average return of the Lipper Core Bond Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ending October 31, 2023, due to positive sector selection and security selection. During the period the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) engaged on an aggressive rate normalization policy which resulted in Treasury yields moving much higher (86 basis points (bps) as measured by the 10-year tenor). Spreads for investment-grade corporates, as measured by the Bloomberg Corporate Bond Index, were tighter by 29 bps as the economy remained resilient despite the higher rates. On a duration neutral basis relative to Treasuries investment-grade

corporates were well ahead (429 bps) as risk assets performed well as fears of recession did not materialize despite many expecting one to some degree.

Positive sector selection resulted from the overweight to the Financials sector with a small positive contribution from the overweight to the Utilities sector. The risk-on tone in the markets was supportive with the overweight to the Banking sector most notable however positive contributions from the overweight to the Communications sector and real estate investment trusts (REITs) to a lesser degree. The allocation to securitized credit was a modest detractor which is also true of the underweight to sovereigns. The portfolio began the period with a notable underweight to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and since then the allocation is roughly neutral to the benchmark. The negative impact resulted from the fourth quarter of 2022 when the portfolio was notably underweight as the agency MBS sector rallied. Yield curve and duration were not material factors on performance.

Security selection was also a positive contributor due to specific corporates which out-performed the broader index returns. There were contributions from Industrials, Utilities, Financials, and agency MBS

sectors. Security selection within the agency MBS sector was notable as the portfolio’s bias to higher coupon Government National Mortgage Association bonds was constructive.

During the period, we used derivatives, such as futures, to manage duration within the Fund. The use of such derivatives had no material impact on performance over the period. We consider the use of futures and other derivatives a less expensive way to seek to achieve the Fund’s target duration.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, we are focusing on the opportunities that lie ahead. In terms of valuations, both in an absolute sense and relative to other asset classes, bond yields are attractive relative to historical prices. That doesn’t mean a rally is necessarily imminent, but the higher yields do offer a significant cushion in terms of income to offset any further price declines in our view.

Pricing (and yield), one thing you can calibrate, is now firmly in the investor’s favor and when combined with subsiding inflation, a peaking economy and a Fed which is approaching the end of its hiking cycle, we believe a unique opportunity has emerged for bond markets. As of the end of the period, the duration of the Fund is sufficiently longer than when the period started, which we believe may position the Fund well if and when rates fall.

With recession as our base case, we have ample dry powder (i.e. cash reserves) to seek to take advantage of these dislocations when they do come.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. • Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities' risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. • Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions; these risks may be magnified if the Fund focuses its assets in municipal securities of issuers in a few select states. • Applying sustainability criteria to the investment process may result in foregoing certain investments and underperformance comparative to funds that do not have a similar focus. There is a risk that the securities identified by the sub-adviser as meeting its sustainable investing criteria do not operate as anticipated. • The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs and an investor's tax liability. • The value of inflation-protected securities (IPS) generally fluctuates with changes in real interest rates, and the market for IPS may be less developed or liquid, and more volatile, than other securities markets. • Investments in high-yield ("junk") bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. • Changes related to LIBOR could have an adverse impact on financial instruments that reference this rate. • The purchase of securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market can result in higher portfolio

turnover and related expenses as well as price and counterparty risk. • Loans can be difficult to value and less liquid than other types of debt instruments; they are also subject to non payment, collateral, bankruptcy, default, extension, prepayment and insolvency risks. • Foreign investments, including foreign government debt, may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class SDR shares of the Hartford Schroders Sustainable International Core Fund returned 13.86% for the twelve month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), which returned 12.07% for the same period. For the same period, the Class SDR shares of the Fund also outperformed the 13.72% average return of the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

During the period, international equities proved resilient with Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributing positively to overall market returns. The Fund outperformed its benchmark due in part to positive stock selection within the Technology and the Healthcare sectors.

Within the Technology sector, stock selection in semiconductor equipment stocks, notably via ASM International and MediaTek added value. Hopes that interest rates might be at their peak helped support growth areas of the market such as semiconductor equipment. Meanwhile, the ongoing digitalization of all aspects of the economy – including the rapid growth of artificial intelligence tools – gave visibility on the long-term investment case for semiconductors.

Pharmaceutical group Novo Nordisk, a Fund holding, outperformed Healthcare peers and the broader market. Novo Nordisk lifted its sales guidance amid strong demand for its anti-obesity drug Wegovy and diabetes treatment Ozempic. It also released clinical data showing Wegovy was effective in preventing cardiovascular complications.

On the negative side, renewables specialist Siemens Energy, a Fund holding, was the main individual detractor. Siemens Energy has announced potential faults with some of its wind turbines. Additionally, supply chain problems continued to affect both Siemens Energy and the renewables industry more broadly.

During the period, we applied our sustainability criteria to create the Fund’s portfolio. We maintained a higher sustainability score of the Fund relative to its benchmark over the period based on our proprietary scoring methodology.

Derivatives in the form of futures were used in the Fund during the period for efficient portfolio management purposes and had no material impact on relative performance.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

The debate continues in both Europe and the U.S. as to the outlook for inflation, the likely path of interest rates, and what it means for economic growth. Central bank policy remains an important driver of short-term market moves in our view.

Markets remain caught between worries over short term pressures and the growth potential offered by some of these long-term structural trends. We believe this push and pull between short-term worries and longer-term growth may well persist for some time.

Rather than trying to predict the next move for interest rates, we remain focused on the long-term prospects for the Fund’s holdings. Our focus is therefore on ensuring careful portfolio construction with a commitment to diversification by growth driver, industry, and style.

Important Risks

The Fund is new and has a limited operating history. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets or if the Fund focuses in a particular geographic region or country, such as Japan. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Applying sustainability criteria to the investment process may result in foregoing certain investments and underperformance comparative to funds that do not have a similar focus. There is a risk that the securities identified by the sub-adviser as meeting its sustainable investing criteria do not operate as anticipated. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, regulatory and counterparty risk.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund returned 0.97%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, which returned 2.64% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the 2.07% average return of the Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ending October 31, 2023, due primarily to negative duration impacts. The Fund’s duration was long of the benchmark duration when the period began which had a material negative impact as yields rose. The Fund employs a flexible duration approach and did not use the benchmark for a target duration during the period. During the period the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) engaged on an aggressive rate normalization policy which resulted in yields moving much higher (86 basis points (bps) as measured by the 10-year tenor). Yields on tax-exempts moved higher in sympathy with Treasuries resulting in negative absolute returns. On a duration neutral basis relative to

Treasuries however tax-exempts were well ahead (400 bps) as risk assets performed well as fears of recession did not materialize and the economy remained stronger than many expected.

Within the Fund, the allocation to corporates was a positive factor given the above however the allocation over the trailing year was modest (less than 10% on average). There was a similar albeit smaller contribution from the tactical allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Within the tax-exempt sector the Fund benefited from the allocation to federal agency bonds however the underweight to tax-exempt Utilities and the overweight to general obligation bonds (GOs) both detracted from performance. The tax-exempt GOs were positive performers in excess return terms however trailing other tax-exempt sectors. Security selection was a material positive factor as specific corporate supported, federal agency bonds and GOs outperformed the broader index returns with multiple issuers contributing.

The third quarter of 2023 alone was notably negative for tax-exempt municipal bonds in absolute terms, with a negative total return of -3.95%, underperforming Treasuries by 41 bps. As a result, municipal / Treasury ratios widened across all maturities. We attributed this to one key factor: higher than expected inflation data. The net result has been retail investors withdrawing from municipal bond funds due to

concerns about the potential consequences of higher Fed Funds rates and higher long-term rates. Year to date outflows are -$10 billion, nowhere near the historic outflows we saw in 2022, but a challenge, nonetheless.

During the period, we did not utilize derivatives within the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders US MidCap Opportunities Fund returned -1.12%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Index, which returned -1.01% for the period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the -1.06% average return of the Lipper Mid-Cap Core peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. mid-capitalization equities, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index, declined over the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, by -1.00%. The year started well with strong performance in November 2022. Softening inflation and early signs of labor market loosening fitted with the hopes for a soft-landing. U.S. consumers remained resilient, even if this was perhaps focused in higher-income consumers. There was no Santa Claus rally in December 2022 with markets worried about downward earnings revisions in 2023. January 2023 was a strong month for U.S. stocks mainly due to a reversal of the negative sentiment in December 2022. February 2023 saw stocks give back some of these gains as tight labor market data reinforced inflationary concerns together with worries about future earnings. Small and mid-cap stocks at this point had continued a trend from 2022 of outperformance against large caps. Banking sector turmoil then hit the markets in March 2023 causing a flight to safety. Money market funds were by far and away the main recipient both from bank deposits and investment wrappers. Within equities, investors considered mega cap tech stocks as the safest option, retreating from small and mid-caps partly due to a large weighting in this universe to

smaller regional banks. Although, the mid cap space has less regional and community bank exposure, which benefited the asset class temporarily, the turmoil caused the first quarterly underperformance versus large caps of small and mid-cap stocks for a year.

Small and mid-cap stocks never recovered from the change in sentiment caused by the issues in the banking sector in March 2023 for the rest of the year. From March 2023, the market concurrently switched its attention to pricing in the potential benefits of artificial intelligence after an upbeat report from NVIDIA. This meant a focus on a small number of mega cap companies which led the market from March 2023 up to August 2023 to the detriment of small caps. Markets were especially weak in August, September and October of 2023 which traditionally can be months when risk is taken off the table. Rising Treasury yields and geopolitical risks, following the assault on Israel by Hamas forces, were major concerns for investors and the reason for weakness late in the period.

During the period, we invested the Fund’s assets in a combination of stock types that can be classified into the following three categories: “Steady Eddies” (companies we believe have recurring earnings/cash flow/revenue characteristics), “Turnarounds” (companies we believe have experienced business or operational difficulties but may potentially have a catalyst to help them return to a growth path), and “Mispriced Growth” (companies we believe have unrecognized or under-appreciated growth dynamics that will be rewarded over time).

Over the period, the most significant contribution to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap Index during the period was stock selection within the Health Care and Telecommunications sectors. Sector allocation for the portfolio as a whole was positive for the period. The Fund had positive attribution total effect in 9 of eleven

sectors. The Fund’s investments in the Health Care sector relative to the Russell Midcap Index benefited from an equal weight allocation. The Fund, ex-biotechnology, which the Fund has zero exposure, was overweight Health Care as of the end of the period. The Fund’s security selection in the Telecommunications sector had a positive impact on performance, particularly in the telecom equipment industry. Additionally, the Fund added value by not having exposure in the cable television services and Communication Services and Telecommunication Services industries, which were both down significantly during the period. The Fund’s equity selection within the Technology sector was the biggest laggard over the period. The Fund’s exposure in the Software sector lagged in both sector allocation (underweight) and stock selection as the benchmark had a strong run. Stock selection in computer services was also a weakness for the period. Basic Materials was the other laggard from a sector point of view for the Fund due primarily to stock selection.

Top contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap Index during the period included BWX Technologies, West Pharmaceuticals and Dolby Laboratories. BWX Technologies offers precision manufactured components and services for the commercial nuclear power industry. The company reported a solid beat for the third quarter of 2023 due to strong revenue growth and strong operational execution in commercial operations across both commercial nuclear and medical. West Pharmaceutical Services, which manufactures and markets pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines and consumer Healthcare products, was the best performing stock in the Health Care portion of the benchmark during the period. The company reported fourth quarter 2022 results and 2023 guidance that exceeded expectations. Dolby Laboratories provides audio and imaging technologies. The company reported solid fourth quarter 2022 results and reiterated full-year guidance.

Over the period, the largest detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap Index were Masimo, Glacier Bancorp, Catalent. Masimo is a global technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets patient monitoring technologies, automation, and connectivity solutions. The stock lagged after the company announced a second quarter warning that revenue would be lower than expected due to multiple factors, including a decline in single-patient use sensor sales and delays in large orders. The company is also taking measures to cut costs in the second half of the year and expects to cut the lower end of full year guidance for the Healthcare business. Glacier Bancorp is a regional bank. The company, as well as the banking industry, slid in March 2023 as multiple banks failed to meet customers’ liquidity needs, marking the second and third-biggest bank failures in the nation’s history. We were underweight banks during the period and remain underweight. Catalent provides delivery technologies, development and manufacturing solutions for drugs, biologics, cell and gene therapies, and consumer health products. The company announced that it reduced its fiscal 2023 guidance due to operation and productivity issues and management’s uncertainty around its previously issued forecasts.

Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period and therefore did not impact performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

We believe a good starting point to support U.S. small and mid-sized companies is that today’s valuations are already pricing in a lot of bad news. As of the end of the period, we believe that U.S. small and mid- sized companies are trading at similar valuations to markets outside the U.S. for the first time in years, meaning you can still invest in the U.S. economy without paying a premium.

A supporting trend is the rise in capital spending in the U.S. For example, there is a major initiative underway to re-shore supply chains as globalization starts to retreat. The U.S. government is providing major incentives to promote more domestic manufacturing enshrined in legislation through policy such as the Chips and Science Act and Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022. The Infrastructure Bill of 2021 provides additional tailwinds. A year or more on from the passing of this legislation, companies are starting to take advantage, leading to a major investment cycle. Construction of new factories is booming in states like Arizona and the Carolinas.

Other factors supporting capital expenditures (capex) are efforts to reduce emissions and the need to spend on automation to mitigate labor shortages. Sales growth of small and mid-cap companies is highly correlated to U.S. capex growth in our view. This reflects the largely domestic focus of small and mid-cap businesses compared to large caps. Small and mid-cap stocks are generally more vulnerable to the business cycle due to their relatively weaker balance sheets and more volatile revenues. As of the end of the period, we believe they are trading at a discount driven by recession fears. If a recession does not occur, we believe the discount might dissipate. Despite the risks, the current low valuation of small and mid-caps makes them a potentially attractive investment option in our view.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended.

Effective immediately before the opening of business on 10/24/2016, the Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund. The performance information shown for periods prior to 10/24/2016 is that of the Predecessor Fund. Prior to 10/24/2016, Class A, Class I and Class SDR were called Advisor Shares, Investor Shares and R6 Shares, respectively. Class C, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, and Class Y shares commenced operations on 10/24/2016 and performance prior to this date reflects the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Shares. Performance for Class SDR shares prior to 09/28/2015 (the inception date of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 Shares) reflects the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Investor Shares. Class F shares commenced operations on 02/28/2017 and performance prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class I shares. Performance prior to Class F’s inception date has not been adjusted to reflect the operating expenses of Class F. The returns would be different if the Fund’s fees and expenses were reflected for periods prior to 10/24/2016.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Schroders US Small Cap Opportunities Fund returned -11.94%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which returned -8.56% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the -4.58% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Core peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. small-capitalization equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, returned -8.56% over the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023. The year started well with strong performance in November 2022. Softening inflation and early signs of labor market loosening fitted with the hopes for a soft-landing. U.S. consumers remained resilient, even if this was perhaps focused in higher-income consumers. There was no Santa Claus rally in December 2022 with markets worried about downward earnings revisions in 2023. January 2023 was a strong month for U.S. stocks mainly due to a reversal of the negative sentiment in December 2022. February 2023 saw stocks give back some of these gains as tight labor market data reinforced inflationary concerns together with worries about future earnings. Small cap stocks at this point had continued a trend from 2022 of outperformance against large caps. Banking sector turmoil then hit the markets in March 2023 causing a flight to safety. Money market funds were by far and away the main recipient both from bank deposits and

investment wrappers. Within equities, investors considered mega cap tech stocks as the safest option, retreating from small and mid-caps partly due to a large weighting in this universe to smaller regional banks. This caused the first quarterly underperformance versus large caps of small cap stocks for a year.

Small cap stocks never recovered from the change in sentiment caused by the issues in the banking sector in March 2023 for the rest of the year. From March 2023, the market concurrently switched its attention to pricing in the potential benefits of artificial intelligence after an upbeat report from NVIDIA. This meant a focus on a small number of mega cap companies which led the market from March 2023 up to August 2023 to the detriment of small caps. Markets were especially weak in August, September and October of 2023 which traditionally can be months when risk is taken off the table. Rising Treasury yields and geopolitical risks, following the assault on Israel by Hamas forces, were major concerns for investors and the reason for weakness late in the period.

The most significant detractor to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index during the twelve-month period was stock selection, particularly in the Consumer Discretionary and Healthcare sectors. Consumer spending trends in the U.S. are more mixed than in previous cycles which is a function of distortion in spending during Covid. Companies are finding it difficult to manage inventories given the lack of clarity about consumer spending. Healthcare stocks were impacted by the emergence of extraordinary results for weight loss from a type of drug called GLP-1. The market extrapolated that a number of Healthcare companies might see slower growth due to less need for various treatments if weight loss is effective. The Fund’s technology holdings contributed positively to performance. The Fund avoided more expensive software stocks while selecting well priced business service companies which performed well.

Top contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index over the period included Maxar Technologies, Primoris Services and LiveRamp Holdings. Maxar Technologies is a space technology and intelligence company. The company announced in December 2022 that it would be acquired by Advent International in an all-cash transaction for $6.4 billion. Primoris Services is a specialty contractor company that provides construction, fabrication, maintenance, replacement, and engineering services to public Utilities, petrochemical companies, Energy companies and municipalities. The company reported results above expectations due to a rise in revenue driven by significant growth in renewables projects. LiveRamp Holdings is a global technology company that provides enterprise data connectivity platform that helps organizations to leverage customer data. The growth acceleration and retention rate improvement in subscriptions led to positive performance over the period.

Over the period, the largest detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index were ICU Medical, Chef’s Warehouse and Fibrogen. ICU Medical develops, manufactures, and sells innovative medical devices used in vascular therapy and critical care applications. ICU Medical reported weaker-than-expected sales but strong profits. Management of ICU Medical suggested that sales would be weaker than previously anticipated in a few of their businesses and lowered its mid-point of their 2023 earnings per share guidance. Chefs’ Warehouse distributes specialty food products. The company reported quarterly results that were below street and company expectations due to disruptions in protein market pricing and adverse weather in June 2023, which curbed outdoor dining demand. Despite this, the company retained its fiscal year 2023 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, and depreciation (EBITDA) guidance. FibroGen is research-based pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapeutic agents. The company reported phase 3 ZEPHYRUS-1 study of Pamrevlumab for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis did not meet its primary and secondary efficacy endpoints. As a result, the company also plans to discontinue the fully enrolled ZEPHYRUS-2 Phase IPF trial, which was due to readout in mid-2024.

Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period and therefore did not impact performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

We believe a good starting point to support U.S. smaller companies is that today’s valuations are already pricing in a lot of bad news. Smaller companies have not been so cheap relative to large caps since the technology bubble in 1999-2001 in our view. Indeed, we believe that U.S. smaller companies trade at similar valuations to markets outside the U.S. for the first time in years, meaning you can still invest in the U.S. economy without paying a premium.

Other factors supporting capital expenditures (capex) are efforts to reduce emissions and the need to spend on automation to mitigate labor shortages. Sales growth of smaller companies is highly correlated to U.S. capex growth in our view. This reflects the largely domestic focus of small cap businesses compared to large caps.

Small cap stocks are generally more vulnerable to the business cycle due to their relatively weaker balance sheets and more volatile revenues. Currently, we believe they are trading at a discount driven by recession fears. If a recession does not occur, we believe the discount might dissipate. Despite the risks, the current low valuation of small caps makes them a potentially attractive investment option in our view.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

Your Fund's Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, if any, and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC), if any, and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, if any, and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period of May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, except as noted below. To the extent a Fund was subject to acquired fund fees and expenses during the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratios below.

Actual Expenses

The first set of columns of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During The Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second set of columns of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads and CDSC). Therefore, the second set of columns of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. Expenses for a class of a Fund are equal to the class' annualized expense ratio multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Emerging Markets Equity Fund is closed to new investors, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s prospectus.

Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of each Fund used in the preparation of its financial statements, which are in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

a)	Determination of Net Asset Value – The net asset value ("NAV") of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the "NYSE Close") on each day that the Exchange is open ("Valuation Date"). If the Exchange is closed due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, each Fund may treat such day as a typical business day and accept purchase and redemption orders and calculate each Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The NAV of each class of each Fund's shares is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to the class of shares by the number of shares outstanding for that class. Information that becomes known to the Funds after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day.
b)	Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements – For purposes of calculating the NAV of each class of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in the Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official close price or last reported trade price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers (including evaluated prices), or independent pricing services. Pricing vendors may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, general market conditions, news, and other factors and assumptions.
	With respect to a Fund's investments that do not have readily available market prices, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has designated Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the "Investment Manager" or "HFMC") as its valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (the "Valuation Designee").
	If market prices are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the Valuation Designee determines the fair value of the security or other instrument in good faith under policies and procedures approved by and under the supervision of the Board ("Valuation Procedures").
	The Valuation Designee has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures to the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee will consider all available relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value. The Valuation Designee reports fair value matters to the Audit Committee of the Board.
	Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments in which a Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund.
	Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) and non-exchange traded derivatives held by a Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
	Exchange-traded derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures, are valued at the last sale price determined by the exchange where such instruments principally trade as of the close of such exchange ("Exchange Close"). If a last sale price is not available, the value will be the mean of the most recently quoted bid and ask prices as of the Exchange Close. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the most recently quoted bid price as of the Exchange Close. Over-the-counter derivatives are normally valued based on prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
	Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using the prevailing spot currency exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities or other instruments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the Exchange is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of a Fund.
	Foreign currency contracts represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. Foreign currency contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates as provided by an independent pricing service on the Valuation Date.
	Shares of investment companies listed and traded on an exchange are valued in the same manner as any exchange-listed equity security. Investments in investment companies that are not listed or traded on an exchange ("Non-Traded Funds"), if any, are valued at the respective NAV of each Non-Traded Fund on the Valuation Date. Such Non-Traded Funds and listed investment companies may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.
	Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued using quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the respective financial instrument in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a fair value hierarchy for each major category of assets and liabilities. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:

•	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 1 may include exchange traded instruments, such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, rights and warrants.
•	Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar investments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 may include debt investments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments and which are valued using independent pricing services; foreign equities, which are principally traded on certain foreign markets and are adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close; senior floating rate interests, which are valued using an aggregate of dealer bids; short-term investments, which are valued at amortized cost; and swaps, which are valued based upon the terms of each swap contract.
•	Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by limited or no market activity. Level 3 may include financial instruments whose values are determined using indicative market quotes or require significant management judgment or estimation. These unobservable valuation inputs may include estimates for current yields, maturity/duration, prepayment speed, and indicative market quotes for comparable investments along with other assumptions relating to credit quality, collateral value, complexity of the investment structure, general market conditions and liquidity. This category may include investments where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these investments are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these investments reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a reasonable representation of exit price.

Valuation levels are not necessarily indicative of the risk associated with investing in such investments. Individual investments within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than those presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.

For additional information, refer to the Fair Value Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

c)	Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Investments purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
	The trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary loan market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. The trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the secondary loan market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
	Dividend income from domestic securities is accrued on the ex-dividend date. In general, dividend income from foreign securities is recorded on the ex-date; however, dividend notifications in certain foreign jurisdictions may not be available in a timely manner and as a result, each Fund will record the dividend as soon as the relevant details (i.e., rate per share, payment date, shareholders of record, etc.) are publicly available. Interest income, including amortization of premium, accretion of discounts and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis.
	Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, as applicable.

Please refer to Note 8 for Securities Lending information.

Taxes – A Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which such Fund invests. A Fund may also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends and interest from securities in which each Fund invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and foreign tax expense is included on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a reduction to net investment income or net realized or unrealized gain (loss) on investments in these securities, if applicable.

Foreign Currency Transactions – Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the Valuation Date. Purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions.

A Fund does not isolate that portion of portfolio investment valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments held. Exchange rate fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

f)	Joint Trading Account – A Fund may invest cash balances into a joint trading account that may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
g)	Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders – Orders for each class of each Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the shareholders. The NAV of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of business on each business day of the Exchange (see Note 2(a)). The NAV is determined separately for each class of shares of a Fund by dividing the Fund's net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Each class of shares offered by a Fund has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets of the class of the Fund. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of shares of each Fund.
	Orders for the purchase of a Fund's shares received prior to the close of the Exchange on any day the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Funds are not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
	Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of China A Fund, Diversified Emerging Markets Fund, Diversified Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, International Contrarian Value Fund, International Stock Fund, Sustainable International Core Fund, US MidCap Opportunities Fund and US Small Cap Opportunities Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. The policy of Sustainable Core Bond Fund and Tax-Aware Bond Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly, and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. The policy of Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund and International Multi-Cap Value Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly, and realized gains, if any, at least once a year.
	Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing (see Federal Income Taxes: Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings and Reclassification of Capital Accounts notes).

Basis for Consolidation – The Diversified Growth Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Diversified Growth Fund (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is consolidated in the Diversified Growth Fund’s financial statements. All intercompany balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated in consolidation. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle in order to enter into certain investments (primarily commodities) for the Diversified Growth Fund consistent with the investment objectives and policies specified in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

3.	Securities and Other Investments:

a)	Restricted Securities – Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if applicable, is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
b)	Investments Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis – Delivery and payment for investments that have been purchased by a Fund on a forward commitment, or when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, take place beyond the customary settlement period. A Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell delayed-delivery investments before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. During this period, such investments are subject to market fluctuations. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for when-issued or delayed-delivery investments as of October 31, 2023.
	A Fund may enter into to-be announced ("TBA") commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed-upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. Although a Fund may enter into TBA commitments with the intention of acquiring or delivering securities for its portfolio,

133

Table of Contents

Hartford Schroders Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
October 31, 2023

the Fund can extend the settlement date, roll the transaction, or dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if deemed appropriate to do so. If the TBA commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting TBA commitment, a Fund realizes a gain or loss. In a TBA roll transaction, a Fund generally purchases or sells the initial TBA commitment prior to the agreed upon settlement date and enters into a new TBA commitment for future delivery or receipt of the mortgage-backed securities. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date. See a Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for TBA commitments as of October 31, 2023.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities – A Fund may invest in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, stripped mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. Mortgage-related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. Asset-backed securities are created from many types of assets, including auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans, and student loans. These securities provide a monthly payment that consists of both interest and principal payments. Interest payments may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that the private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities as of October 31, 2023.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds – A Fund may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income investments whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive the principal amount until maturity. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for inflation-indexed bonds as of October 31, 2023.

Financial Derivative Instruments:

The following disclosures contain information on how and why a Fund may use derivative instruments, the credit-risk-related contingent features in certain derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in the following Additional Derivative Instrument Information footnote. The derivative instruments outstanding as of period-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, if applicable. The amounts of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

a)	Foreign Currency Contracts – A Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts that obligate the Fund to purchase or sell currencies at specified future dates. Foreign currency contracts may be used in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s investments and/or as part of an investment strategy. Foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. A Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the foreign currency contract is settled.
	Foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Upon entering into a foreign currency contract, a Fund may be required to post margin equal to its outstanding exposure thereunder.
	During the year ended October 31, 2023, each of Diversified Emerging Markets Fund, Diversified Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund and International Multi-Cap Value Fund had used Foreign Currency Contracts.

amount of cash or U.S. Government or Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value ("variation margin") is paid or received by a Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

During the year ended October 31, 2023, each of Diversified Emerging Markets Fund, Diversified Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, International Multi-Cap Value Fund, Sustainable Core Bond Fund and Sustainable International Core Fund had used Futures Contracts.

c)	Swap Contracts – A Fund may invest in swap contracts. Swap contracts are agreements to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified future intervals. Swap contracts are either privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market ("OTC swaps") or cleared through a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization ("centrally cleared swaps"). A Fund may enter into credit default, total return, cross-currency, interest rate, inflation and other forms of swap contracts to manage its exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, commodity and inflation risk. Swap contracts are also used to gain exposure to certain markets. In connection with these contracts, investments or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap contracts and/or master netting arrangement to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.
	Swaps are valued in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value ("variation margin") on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses on centrally cleared swaps are recorded upon the termination of the swaps. OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap contract and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant factors). These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination or maturity of the swap is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations.
	Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of liquidation, counterparty, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these contracts, that the counterparty to the contracts may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the contracts, and that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant factors).
	A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk for OTC swaps is the net value of the discounted cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, and current market value, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty, which allows for the netting of payments made or received (although such amounts are presented on a gross basis within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as applicable) as well as the posting of collateral to a Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. In a centrally cleared swap, while a Fund enters into an agreement with a clearing broker to execute contracts with a counterparty, the performance of the swap is guaranteed by the central clearinghouse, which reduces the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk. However, the Fund is still exposed to a certain amount of counterparty risk through the clearing broker and clearinghouse. The clearinghouse attempts to minimize this risk to its participants through the use of mandatory margin requirements, daily cash settlements and other procedures. Likewise, the clearing broker reduces its risk through margin requirements and required segregation of customer balances.
	Credit Default Swap Contracts – The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, asset or basket of assets. Certain credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying investment or index in the event of a credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy.
	Under a credit default swap contract, one party acts as guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying investment at par if the defined credit event occurs. Upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the difference between the value of the reference obligation and the swap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on swap transactions in the Statements of Operations. A "buyer" of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The "seller" of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. A "seller’s" exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or upfront payments received upon entering into the contract.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on corporate issues, sovereign government issues or U.S. municipal issues as of year-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, as applicable, and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and there may also be upfront payments required to be made to enter into the contract. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced equity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract.

During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund had used Credit Default Swaps.

5.	Principal Risks:
	A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.
	The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of equity securities may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
	A widespread health crisis, such as a global pandemic, could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions or restrictions and closures of securities exchanges and businesses, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and adversely impact Fund performance. The outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, negatively affected the worldwide economy, created supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and impacted the financial health of individual companies and the market in significant and unforeseen ways. The future impact of COVID-19, if any, remains unclear. The effects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may continue to have, a significant negative impact on the performance of certain investments, including exacerbating other pre-existing political, social and economic risks.

	The banking sector has recently been subject to increased market volatility. As a result, a Fund’s investments in the banking sector may be subject to increased volatility risk.
	Certain investments held by a Fund expose the Fund to various risks which may include, but are not limited to, interest rate, prepayment, and extension risks. Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the values of certain fixed income securities held by a Fund are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e., yield) movements. Senior floating rate interests and securities subject to prepayment and extension risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline. Rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower than expected rate, thereby effectively lengthening the maturity of the security and making the security more sensitive to interest rate changes. Prepayment and extension risk are major risks of mortgage-backed securities, senior floating rate interests and certain asset-backed securities. For certain asset-backed securities, the actual maturity may be less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments, if applicable. As a result, the timing of income recognition relating to these securities may vary based upon the actual maturity.
	Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. Non-U.S. issuers may also be affected by political, social, economic or diplomatic developments in a foreign country or region or the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions). These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
	Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. A Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for the loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund that lends its holdings.
	As a result of the China A Fund’s focus in China A shares, the China A Fund may be subject to increased currency, political, economic, social, environmental, regulatory and other risks not typically associated with investing in a larger number of countries or regions. Over the last few decades, the Chinese government has undertaken reform of economic and market practices and has expanded the sphere of private ownership of property in China. Nevertheless, China remains an emerging market and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets. China A shares are equity securities of companies located in mainland China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The China A Fund may invest in China A shares through the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs (collectively, "Stock Connect"). The Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges may close for extended periods for holidays or otherwise, which impacts the China A Fund’s ability to trade in China A shares during those periods. Trading suspensions in certain stocks and extended market closures could lead to greater market execution risk, valuation risks, liquidity risks, and costs for the China A Fund. The China A Fund’s investments in China A shares are generally subject to the laws of the People’s Republic of China ("PRC"), including local securities regulations and listing rules. As a result of different legal standards, the China A Fund faces the risk of being unable to enforce its rights with respect to its China A shares holdings. Investing in China A shares is subject to trading, clearance, settlement and other procedures, which could pose risks to the China A Fund. Trading through Stock Connect is currently subject to a daily quota, which may restrict the China A Fund’s ability to invest in China A shares through Stock Connect on a timely basis and could affect the China A Fund’s ability to effectively pursue its investment strategy. Stock Connect will only operate on days when both the Chinese and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banking services are available in both markets on the corresponding settlement days. Therefore, an investment in China A shares through Stock Connect may subject the China A Fund to the risk of price fluctuations on days when the Chinese markets are open, but Stock Connect is not trading. The risks related to investments in China A shares through Stock Connect are heightened to the extent that the China A Fund invests in China A shares listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board on the Shanghai stock exchange ("STAR market") and/or the ChiNext market of the Shenzhen stock exchange ("ChiNext market"). Listed companies on the STAR market and ChiNext market are usually of an emerging nature with smaller operating scale. They are subject to higher fluctuation in stock prices and liquidity. It may be more common and faster for companies listed on the STAR market and ChiNext market to delist.
	Credit risk depends largely on the perceived financial health of bond issuers. In general, the credit rating is inversely related to the credit risk of the issuer. Higher rated bonds generally are deemed to have less credit risk, while lower or unrated bonds are deemed to have higher risk of default. The share price, yield and total return of a fund that holds securities with higher credit risk may be more volatile than those of a fund that holds bonds with lower credit risk. A Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which a Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default.

Geopolitical events, including the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, have injected uncertainty into the global financial markets. One or more of the Funds hold positions in securities or other instruments that are economically tied to Russia. Investments in Russia are subject to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks, as well as the risks related to the economic sanctions on Russia imposed by the United States and/or other countries. Such sanctions which affect companies in many sectors, including energy, financial services and defense, among others, have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect the global energy and financial markets and, thus, have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect the value of a Fund’s investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. In addition, certain transactions have or may be prohibited and/or existing investments have or may become illiquid (e.g., because transacting in certain existing investments is prohibited), which could cause a Fund to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price in order to meet redemptions.

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 a 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 (“ETFs”) are subject to the additional risk that shares of the ETF may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value per share, or may not have an active trading market available. A 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 depending on the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the investment companies and the actual expenses of the investment companies.

6.	Federal Income Taxes:

a)	Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders each year. Each Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years, if applicable, and intends to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2023. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.
b)	Net Investment Income (Loss), Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Distributions – Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies ("PFICs") Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"),RICs, certain derivatives, partnerships, debt modifications and mark to market on certain derivatives. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by each Fund.
c)	Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings – The tax character of distributions paid by each Fund for the year or period ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 are as follows:

Reclassification of Capital Accounts – The Funds may record reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP, book income/loss from Cayman subsidiary, earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares, and tax accounting for such items as adjustments to prior year accumulated balances. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on the current and future earnings distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Funds' distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from distributable earnings or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below:

Fund	Paid-in-Capital	Distributable Earnings (Loss)
Diversified Growth Fund (Consolidated)	$ (321)	$ 321
US MidCap Opportunities Fund	1,294,826	(1,294,826)
US Small Cap Opportunities Fund	(61,254)	61,254

e)	Capital Loss Carryforward – Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period.
	At October 31, 2023 (tax year end), each Fund's capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Fund	Short-Term Capital Loss Carryforward with No Expiration	Long-Term Capital Loss Carryforward with No Expiration

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – Pursuant to provisions set forth by U.S. GAAP, HFMC reviews each Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years. As of October 31, 2023, HFMC had reviewed the open tax years and concluded that there was no reason to record a liability for net unrecognized tax obligations relating to uncertain income tax positions. Each Fund files U.S. tax returns. Although the statute of limitations for examining a Fund’s U.S. tax returns remains open for three years, no examination is currently in progress. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. HFMC is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax obligations will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Expenses:

a)	Investment Management Agreement – HFMC serves as each Fund’s investment manager. The Company, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with HFMC. HFMC is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("The Hartford"). HFMC has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, HFMC provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of each Fund. HFMC has contracted with Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. ("SIMNA") under a sub-advisory agreement and SIMNA has contracted with Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.”) under a sub-sub-advisory agreement with respect to certain Funds. SIMNA performs the daily investment of the assets for each Fund, and, with respect to each of China A Fund, Diversified Emerging Markets Fund, Diversified Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, International Contrarian Value Fund, International Multi-Cap Value Fund, International Stock Fund, Sustainable International Core Fund, and Tax-Aware Bond Fund, SIMNA may allocate assets to or from SIMNA Ltd., an affiliate of SIMNA, in connection with the daily investment of the assets for each of these Funds. Each Fund pays a fee to HFMC. HFMC pays a sub-advisory fee to SIMNA out of its management fee. SIMNA pays the sub-sub-advisory fees to SIMNA Ltd.
b)	The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to HFMC for investment management services rendered as of October 31, 2023; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates:

Fund		Management Fee Rates
China A Fund		0.9000% on first $1 billion and;
		0.8900% over $1 billion

⁽¹⁾ HFMC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee in an amount equal to the management fee paid to it by the Diversified Growth Fund’s Subsidiary. This waiver will remain in effect for as long as the Diversified Growth Fund remains invested in the Subsidiary.

Accounting Services Agreement – HFMC provides the Funds with accounting services pursuant to a fund accounting agreement by and between the Company, on behalf of each Fund, and HFMC. HFMC has delegated certain accounting and administrative service functions to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"). In consideration of services rendered and expenses assumed pursuant to the fund accounting agreement, each Fund pays HFMC a fee. The fund accounting fee for each Fund is equal to the greater of: (A) the sum of (i) the sub-accounting fee payable by HFMC with respect to the Fund; (ii) the fee payable for tax preparation services for the Fund; and (iii) the amount of expenses that HFMC allocates for providing the fund accounting services to the Fund; plus a target profit margin; or (B) $40,000 per year; provided, however, that to the extent the annual amount of the fund accounting fee exceeds 0.02% of the Fund’s average net assets (calculated during its current fiscal year), HFMC shall waive such portion of the fund accounting fee.

Operating Expenses – Allocable expenses incurred by the Company are allocated to each series within the Company, and allocated to classes within each such series, in proportion to the average daily net assets of such series and classes, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to a Fund or to specific classes within a Fund. As of October 31, 2023, HFMC contractually agreed to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and

e)	Sales Charges and Distribution and Service Plan for Class A, C, R3 and R4 Shares – Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC ("HFD"), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford, is the principal underwriter and distributor of each Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2023, HFD received front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges for each Fund as follows:

Fund	Front-End Sales Charges	Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
China A Fund	$ 10,691	$ 1

Tax-Aware Bond Fund	239,162	6,461
US MidCap Opportunities Fund	207,123	3,733
US Small Cap Opportunities Fund	45,671	1,386

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the adoption of a separate distribution plan (each a "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for each of Class A, C, R3 and R4 shares. Under a Plan, Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R4 shares of a Fund, as applicable, bear distribution and/or service fees paid to HFD, some or all of which may be paid to select broker-dealers. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution financing activities and shareholder account servicing activities. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder servicing expenses and/or distribution expenses. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. The Class C Plan also provides that HFD will receive all contingent deferred sales charges attributable to Class C shares. Pursuant to the Class R3 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R3 shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Pursuant to the Class R4 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for distribution financing activities. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Each Fund’s 12b-1 fees are accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine. Any 12b-1 fees attributable to assets held in an account held directly with the Funds’ transfer agent for which there is not a third-party listed as the broker-dealer of record (or HFD does not otherwise have a payment obligation) are generally reimbursed to the applicable Fund. Such amounts are reflected as "Distribution fee reimbursements" on the Statements of Operations.

f)	Other Related Party Transactions – Certain officers of the Company are directors and/or officers of HFMC and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the year ended October 31, 2023, a portion of the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer’s ("CCO") compensation was paid

Hartford Administrative Services Company ("HASCO"), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to each Fund. Each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the lesser of (i) the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to each share class of such Fund plus a target profit margin or (ii) a Specified Amount (as defined in the table below). Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to SS&C GIDS, Inc. ("SS&C", formerly known as DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc.) (and any other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and SS&C (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin.

Share Class		Specified Amount (as a percentage average daily net assets)
Class A		0.25%
Class C		0.25%
Class I		0.20%
Class R3		0.22%
Class R4		0.17%
Class R5		0.12%
Class Y		0.11%
Class F		0.004%
Class SDR		0.004%

Effective December 1, 2022, HASCO has contractually agreed to waive its transfer agency fee and/or reimburse transfer agency-related expenses to the extent necessary to limit the transfer agency fee for Class A shares of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund as follows: 0.14%. This contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 29, 2024, unless the Board of Directors approves its earlier termination.

From November 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023, HASCO contractually agreed to waive its transfer agency fee and/or reimburse transfer agency-related expenses to the extent necessary to limit the transfer agency fee for Class Y shares of the International Multi-Cap Value Fund to 0.09%.

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and SS&C, HASCO has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent functions to SS&C. Each Fund does not pay any fee directly to SS&C; rather, HASCO makes all such payments to SS&C. The accrued amount shown in the Statements of Operations reflects the amounts charged by HASCO. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

8.	Securities Lending:
	The Company has entered into a securities lending agency agreement ("lending agreement") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). A Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one-third (33 1/3%) of the value of its total assets. A Fund may lend portfolio securities, provided that the borrower provides collateral that is maintained in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral is invested for the benefit of a Fund by the Fund’s lending agent pursuant to collateral investment guidelines. The collateral is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The contractual maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. The China A Fund does not currently engage in securities lending.
	A Fund is subject to certain risks while its securities are on loan, including the following: (i) the risk that the borrower defaults on the loan and the collateral is inadequate to cover the Fund’s loss; (ii) the risk that the earnings on the collateral invested are not sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan; (iii) the Fund could 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; (iv) the risk that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale, which may in turn place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities; (v) the risk that return of loaned securities could be delayed and interfere with portfolio management decisions; (vi) the risk that any efforts to restrict or recall the securities for purposes of voting may not be effective; and (vii) operational risks (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process especially so in certain international markets). These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
	A Fund retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the applicable Fund). Upon termination of a loan, a Fund is required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers.
	The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Investment Income from securities lending. A Fund also receives payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Investment Income from dividends or interest, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract due to timing. Pursuant to the lending agreement, the borrower will provide collateral in an amount at least equal to the current market value of securities loaned.

As of October 31, 2023, affiliated funds of funds and the 529 plan for which HFMC serves as the program manager (the "529 plan") in the aggregate owned a portion of the Funds identified below.

10.	Beneficial Fund Ownership:
	As of October 31, 2023, to the knowledge of a Fund, Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC or Schroder US Holdings, Inc. beneficially held more than 25% of the shares outstanding of the following Funds:

Fund	Shareholder	Percentage of Ownership
Diversified Emerging Markets Fund	Schroder US Holdings, Inc.	26%

11.

Significant Shareholder Concentration:

As of October 31, 2023, one shareholder owns greater than 75% of the Diversified Growth Fund. The Diversified Growth Fund may experience adverse effects when such large shareholder redeems or purchases large amounts of shares of the Diversified Growth Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Diversified Growth Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Diversified Growth Fund’s performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Diversified Growth Fund’s performance to the extent that the Diversified Growth 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.

12.	Investment Transactions:
	For the period ended October 31, 2023, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

Fund	Cost of Purchases Excluding U.S. Government Obligations	Sales Proceeds Excluding U.S. Government Obligations	Cost of Purchases For U.S. Government Obligations	Sales Proceeds For U.S. Government Obligations	Total Cost of Purchases	Total Sales Proceeds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
October 31, 2023

⁽¹⁾	Classes A, C, I, Y and F of the Diversified Emerging Markets Fund commenced operations on February 28, 2022.
⁽²⁾	Diversified Growth Fund commenced operations on September 20, 2023.
⁽³⁾	International Contrarian Value Fund and Sustainable International Core Fund commenced operations on May 24, 2022.
⁽⁴⁾	Classes I, R3, R4, R5 and F of the Sustainable Core Bond Fund commenced operations on November 12, 2021.

14.	Fund Reorganization:
	Effective after the close of business on November 12, 2021, the Schroder Core Bond Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Sustainable Core Bond Fund (the “Reorganization”). At a special meeting of shareholders of the Predecessor Fund held on October 28, 2021, and adjourned to November 3, 2021, shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved an agreement and plan of reorganization pursuant to which the Predecessor Fund transferred all of its assets to the Sustainable Core Bond Fund, in exchange for shares of the designated classes of the Sustainable Core Bond Fund and the assumption by the Sustainable Core Bond Fund of all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund was determined to be the accounting survivor. The consummation of the reorganization took place immediately after the close of business on November 12, 2021 in a tax-free exchange of shares as detailed below.

Net assets of Predecessor Fund as of the close of business on November 12, 2021		Net assets of the Sustainable Core Bond Fund immediately before Reorganization		Net assets of the Sustainable Core Bond Fund immediately after Reorganization		Predecessor Fund shares exchanged		Sustainable Core Bond Fund shares issued to the Predecessor Fund's Shareholders
$ 83,254,484		$ —		$ 83,254,484		7,963,263		7,963,263

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2021, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Sustainable Core Bond Fund, the Sustainable Core Bond pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2022, are as follows:

Net investment income	$ 3,221,627
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments	(27,620,172)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations	$ (24,398,545)

15.

Line of Credit:

Each Fund, except Diversified Growth Fund, participates in a committed line of credit pursuant to a credit agreement dated March 2, 2023. Each such Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes. These Funds (together with certain other Hartford Funds) may borrow up to $350 million in the aggregate, subject to asset coverage and other limitations specified in the credit agreement. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also charges certain fees, such as a commitment fee. From November 1, 2022 through March 2, 2023, each Fund, except Diversified Growth Fund, International Contrarian Value Fund, and Sustainable International Core Fund, (together with certain other Hartford Funds) had a similar agreement that enabled them to participate in a $350 million committed line of credit. The fees incurred by the Funds in connection with the committed lines of credit during the period appear in the Statements of Operations under “Other expenses.” During and as of the year ended October 31, 2023, none of the Funds had borrowings under these facilities.

16.

Indemnifications:

Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland General Corporation Law and federal securities laws. In addition, the Company, on behalf of each Fund, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

17.

Regulatory Update:

The SEC adopted rule and form amendments that will change the format and content of the Funds' annual and semi-annual reports. Certain information, including the financial statements, will not appear in the Funds' new tailored shareholder reports but will be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semi-annual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, Management is evaluating the impact of these rule and form amendment changes.

18.	Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for Sustainable Core Bond Fund:
	Effective March 13, 2023, BBD, LLP (“BBD”) ceased being the independent registered public accounting firm for the Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund (“Sustainable Core Bond Fund”). BBD’s report on the Sustainable Core Bond Fund's financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2022, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was BBD’s report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022, October 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through March 13, 2023 (the “Covered Period”), (i) there were no disagreements with BBD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BBD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Sustainable Core Bond Fund’s financial statements for the Covered Period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
	On November 9, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to engage PricewaterhouseCoopersLLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Sustainable Core Bond Fund for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2023. The selection of PwC does not reflect any disagreements with or dissatisfaction by the Company or the Board of Directors with the performance of the Sustainable Core Bond Fund’s prior independent registered public accounting firm, BBD. During the Covered Period, neither the Sustainable Core Bond Fund, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with PwC on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Sustainable Core Bond Fund’s financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

19.	Subsequent Events:
	In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended October 31, 2023, events and transactions subsequent to October 31, 2023, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure.
	Effective November 8, 2023, the International Contrarian Value Fund launched Classes A, C, R5, Y and F shares.
	Effective November 30, 2023, the Sustainable Core Bond Fund’s name, investment objective, and principal investment strategy has changed. The new name is Hartford Schroders Core Fixed Income Fund. Please see the Sustainable Core Bond Fund’s prospectus supplement for additional information.
	Effective on or about March 1, 2024, the Diversified Emerging Markets Fund’s principal investment strategy will be modified. Please see the Diversified Emerging Markets Fund's prospectus supplement for additional information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The financial statements of the Funds, except for Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund, as of and for the year ended October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to October 31, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

This section describes the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRM Program”) established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The LRM Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Rule generally defines liquidity risk as the risk that a Fund could not meet its obligation to redeem shares without significant dilution of the non-redeeming investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Directors (“Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. have appointed Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) to serve as the administrator of the LRM Program with respect to each of the Funds, subject to the oversight of the Board. In order to efficiently and effectively administer the LRM Program, HFMC established a Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee.

The LRM Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the assessment and periodic review (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the classification and periodic review (no less frequently than monthly) of each Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule); (4) the determination of a minimum percentage of each Fund’s assets that generally will be invested in highly liquid investments (“HLIM”); (5) the periodic review (no less frequently than annually) of the HLIM and the adoption and implementation of policies and procedures for responding to a shortfall of a Fund’s highly liquid investments below its HLIM; and (6) periodic reporting to the Board.

At a meeting of the Board held June 13-14, 2023, HFMC provided an annual written report to the Board covering the period from June 30, 2022 through April 30, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). The annual report addressed important aspects of the LRM Program, including, but not limited to:

•	the operation of the LRM Program (and related policies and procedures utilized in connection with management of the Funds’ liquidity risk);
•	an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the LRM Program’s (and related policies and procedures’) implementation;
•	the operation, and assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness, of each Fund’s HLIM;
•	whether the third-party liquidity vendor’s (“LRM Program Vendor”) processes for determining preliminary liquidity classifications, including the particular methodologies or factors used and metrics analyzed by the LRM Program Vendor, are sufficient under the Liquidity Rule and appropriate in light of each Fund’s specific circumstances; and
•	any material changes to the LRM Program.

The annual written report covered each Fund, except the Diversified Growth Fund. The Diversified Growth Fund commenced operations on September 20, 2023.

In addition, HFMC provides a quarterly report on the LRM Program at each quarterly meeting of the Board’s Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee. The quarterly report included information regarding the Funds’ liquidity as measured by established parameters, a summary of developments within the capital markets that may impact liquidity, and other factors that may impact liquidity. Among other things, HFMC reports any changes to a Fund’s HLIM.

During the Reporting Period, HFMC did not reduce the HLIM for any Fund. During the Reporting Period, each Fund paid redemptions and settled security transactions in cash and on time without requiring any borrowing under the line of credit or the interfund lending program. In addition, there were no reportable breaches of the liquidity risk management parameters.

Based on its review and assessment, HFMC has concluded that the LRM Program is operating effectively to assess and manage the liquidity risk of each Fund and that the LRM Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund. Because liquidity in the capital markets in which the Funds invest is beyond the control of the Funds, there can be no assurance that the LRM Program will ensure liquidity under all circumstances and does not protect against the risk of loss.

Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund
Hartford Schroders International Contrarian Value Fund
Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund
Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund
Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund
Hartford Schroders Sustainable International Core Fund
Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund
Hartford Schroders US MidCap Opportunities Fund

(each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

The Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund is the successor to a corresponding series of Schroder Series Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), pursuant to a reorganization consummated on November 12, 2021.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At its meeting held on September 6-7, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (“HMF II”), including the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment management agreement by and between Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) and each of HMF II, on behalf of each of the Funds, and The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (“HMF”), on behalf of each of its series (the “Management Agreement”); (ii) the continuation of an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) by and between HFMC and each Fund’s sub-adviser, Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA Inc.”) with respect to each Fund; and (iii) the continuation of a separate sub-sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) by and between SIMNA Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.,” and together with SIMNA Inc., the “Sub-advisers,” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”) with respect to Hartford Schroders China A Fund, Hartford Schroders Diversified Emerging Markets Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, Hartford Schroders International Contrarian Value Fund, Hartford Schroders International Stock Fund, Hartford Schroders Sustainable International Core Fund, Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund, and Hartford Schroders International Multi-Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Sub-Sub-Advised Funds”).

In the months preceding the September 6-7, 2023 meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board considered such additional information as it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, as applicable, with respect to each Fund, which included information furnished to the Board and its committees at their meetings throughout the year and in between regularly scheduled meetings on particular matters as the need arose, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meetings held on June 13-14, 2023 and September 6-7, 2023. Information provided to the Board and its committees at their meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal, compliance and risk management matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The members of the Board also considered the materials and presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC received at the Board’s meetings on June 13-14, 2023 and September 6-7, 2023 concerning the Agreements and at the special meeting of the Board’s Investment Committee on May 10-11, 2023 concerning Fund-by-Fund performance and other investment-related matters.

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)

The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees, total expense ratios and investment performance. In addition, the Consultant previously reviewed the profitability methodologies utilized by HFMC in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreement.

In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements for a Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate through the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the continuation of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements. Throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds and the Independent Directors were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately with independent legal counsel and the Consultant on June 6, 2023 and in executive session on several occasions to consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations and to discuss the materials presented and other matters deemed relevant to their consideration of the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the June 6, 2023 and June 13-14, 2023 meetings, the Independent Directors presented HFMC and its affiliates with requests for additional information on certain topics. HFMC responded to these requests with additional information in connection with the September 6-7, 2023 meeting. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the continuation of the Agreements is provided below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisers

The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements and the range of services provided by the Advisers. The Board considered the Advisers’ professional personnel who provide services to the Funds, including each Adviser’s ability and experience in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to service the Funds. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as each Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to enhance services to the funds managed by HFMC and its affiliates (the “Hartford funds”). In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board and responsiveness to Board inquiries and requests made from time to time with respect to the Funds and other Hartford funds.

The Board also requested and evaluated information concerning each Adviser’s regulatory and compliance environment. In this regard, the Board reviewed information about each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures and compliance history, and a report from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer about each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and any compliance or other issues raised by regulators. The Board also noted the Advisers’ support of the Funds’ compliance control structure, as applicable, including the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and the Funds’ risk management programs, as well as the efforts of the Advisers to address cybersecurity risks. The Board also considered HFMC’s investments in business continuity planning designed to benefit the Funds. The Board also noted HFMC’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to prepare for and respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environments in which the Funds and their service providers operate.

With respect to HFMC, the Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, HFMC is responsible for the management of the Funds, including oversight of fund operations and service providers, and the provision of investment advisory and administrative services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Sub-advisers. In this regard, the Board evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by HFMC that were not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-advisers. The Board considered HFMC’s ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance, including its quarterly reviews of each of the Hartford funds,semi-annual meetings with the leaders of each Fund’s portfolio management team, and ongoing oversight of the Hartford funds’ portfolio managers. The Board noted that HFMC has demonstrated a record of initiating changes to the portfolio management and/or investment strategies of the Hartford funds when warranted. The Board considered HFMC’s periodic due diligence reviews of each Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of each Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations by each Sub-adviser, and approach to risk management with respect to the Funds. The Board considered HFMC’s oversight of the securities lending program for the Funds that engage in securities lending and noted the income earned by the Funds that participate in such program. The Board also considered HFMC’s day-to-day oversight of each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations, noting that regulatory and other developments had over time led to an increase in the scope of HFMC’s oversight in this regard. Moreover, the Board considered HFMC’s oversight of potential conflicts of interest between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts, if any, managed by the Funds’ portfolio management personnel.

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)

In addition, the Board considered HFMC’s overall strategic plan for, and ongoing commitment to review and re-assess, the Hartford funds product line-up. The Board also considered the expenses that HFMC had incurred, as well as the risks HFMC had assumed, in connection with the launch of new funds and changes to existing Hartford funds in recent years. The Board considered that HFMC is responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.

With respect to SIMNA Inc. and SIMNA Ltd., which provide certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds and the Sub-Sub-Advised Funds, respectively, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, each Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience, including with respect to sustainable and environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) investing, to the extent applicable. The Board considered the experience of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the number of accounts managed by the portfolio manager(s), and each Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio manager(s). The Board also considered each Sub-adviser’s succession planning practices to ensure continuity of portfolio management services provided to the Funds and HFMC’s oversight of these practices.

The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of being part of the family of Hartford funds, including, with respect to certain share classes, the right to exchange investments between the same class of shares without a sales charge, the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other Hartford funds (excluding the Hartford funds that are either an exchange-traded fund or a closed-end fund), and the ability to combine holdings in a Fund with holdings in other Hartford funds (excluding the Hartford funds that are either an exchange-traded fund or a closed-end fund) and 529 plans for which HFMC serves as the program manager to obtain a reduced sales charge. The Board considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the Hartford funds with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes and the assumption of entrepreneurial and other risks by HFMC in sponsoring and providing ongoing services to new funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders. In addition, the Board observed that in the marketplace there are a range of investment options available to each Fund’s shareholders and such shareholders, having had the opportunity to consider other investment options, have chosen to invest in the Fund.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by HFMC and, as applicable, the Sub-advisers.

Performance of each Fund and the Advisers

The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, which included the performance of the Predecessor Fund with respect to the Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund. The Board noted that the Predecessor Fund had been advised by SIMNA Inc. and sub-advised by SIMNA Ltd. In this regard, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over different time periods and evaluated HFMC’s analysis of each Fund’s performance for these time periods. The Board considered information and materials provided to the Board by the Advisers concerning Fund performance, as well as information from Broadridge comparing the investment performance of each Fund to an appropriate universe of peer funds. The Board noted that while it found the comparative data provided by Broadridge generally useful in evaluating a Hartford fund’s investment performance, the Board recognized the limitations of such data, including that notable differences may exist between a Hartford fund and its peers. For details regarding each Fund’s performance, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.

The Board considered the detailed investment analytics reports provided by HFMC’s Investment Advisory Group throughout the year, including in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. These reports included, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance compared to one or more appropriate benchmarks and relevant groups or categories of peer funds, various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance, and commentary on the effect of current and recent market conditions. The Board considered the Advisers’ work with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of each Fund at periodic meetings throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. The Board considered that the Investment Committee, in its evaluation of investment performance at meetings throughout the year, focused particular attention on information indicating less favorable performance of certain Hartford funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Advisers the reasons for such performance as well as any specific actions that the Advisers had taken, or had agreed to take, to seek to enhance Fund investment performance and the results of those actions. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it had continued confidence in HFMC’s and each Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Funds, as applicable.

Costs of the Services and Profitability of the Advisers

The Board reviewed information regarding HFMC’s cost to provide investment management and related services to each Fund and HFMC’s profitability, both overall and for each Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HFMC and its affiliates from all services provided to each Fund and all aspects of their relationship with the Fund, including information regarding profitability trends over time and information provided by Broadridge analyzing the profitability of investment managers to other fund complexes. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-advisers. The Board considered representations from HFMC and SIMNA Inc. that SIMNA Inc.’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a Fund-by-Fund basis and that the sub-advisory fees are paid by HFMC and not the Funds. The Board also considered that SIMNA Ltd. is an affiliate of SIMNA Inc. and that SIMNA Ltd.’s sub-sub-advisory fees would be paid by SIMNA Inc., not the Sub-Sub-Advised Funds. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Sub-advisers is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Board considered that the Consultant had previously reviewed the methodologies and estimates used by HFMC in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreement, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. The Board noted that the Consultant previously reported that such process is reasonable, sound and consistent with common industry practice. The Board noted that HFMC’s process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is consistent with the process previously reviewed by the Consultant.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits realized by HFMC and its affiliates from their relationships with each Fund were not excessive.

Comparison of Fees and Services Provided by the Advisers

The Board considered comparative information with respect to the services rendered to and the management fees to be paid by each Fund to HFMC and the total expense ratios of the Fund. The Board also considered comparative information with respect to the sub-advisory fees to be paid by HFMC to SIMNA Inc. with respect to each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HFMC and SIMNA Inc. relating to the management and sub-advisory fees, including the sub-advisory fee schedule for each Fund and the amount of the management fee retained by HFMC, and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed information from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees and total expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge. The Board considered such information from Broadridge in consultation with the Consultant. For details regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.

The Board considered the methodology used by Broadridge to select the funds included in the expense groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between a Fund and its peer funds may be imprecise given, among other differences, the different service levels and characteristics of mutual funds and the different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and views of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses and expense groups.

The Board received information regarding fees charged by HFMC to another Hartford fund that is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) with investment strategies similar to those of the Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund. The Board reviewed information about structural, operational and other differences between the ETF and the Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund, including differences in the services provided to each type of product and differences in the marketplace in which each type of product must compete. The Board also received information regarding fees charged by the Sub-advisers to any other clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds, including any institutional separate account clients and registered fund clients for which a Sub-adviser serves as either primary investment adviser or sub-adviser. The Board considered the explanations provided by the Sub-advisers about any differences between a Sub-adviser’s services to the Funds and the services a Sub-adviser provides to other types of clients. In this regard, the Board reviewed information about the generally broader scope of services and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing registered funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-registered fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses, in conjunction with the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters considered, were reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered information regarding economies of scale, including the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the management fee schedule for each Fund, if any, which reduce fee rates as the Fund’s assets grow over time. The Board recognized that a Fund with assets beyond the highest breakpoint level will continue to benefit from economies of scale because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee resulting in lower effective management fee rates. The Board also recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a breakpoint at a lower asset level provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. The Board considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce a Fund’s expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund’s assets decline. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates, pricing a Fund to scale at inception, and making additional investments intended to enhance services available to shareholders are other means of sharing anticipated or potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses of the Hartford funds in recent years, which has resulted in benefits being realized by shareholders. The Board also noted that, for each of Hartford Schroders China A Fund, Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund, and Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund, the Fund’s current low asset levels have kept the Fund from fully realizing the benefits of anticipated or potential economies of scale.

The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Broadridge and the Consultant showing how management fee schedules of peer funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders as a peer fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HFMC, Broadridge, and the Consultant, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.

After considering all of the information available to it, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale, if any, would be shared for the benefit of each Fund’s shareholders based on currently available information and the effective management fees and total expense ratios for the Fund at its current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor any future growth in each Fund’s assets and the appropriateness of additional management fee breakpoints or other methods to share benefits from economies of scale as part of its future review of the Agreements.

Other Benefits

The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds.

The Board noted that HFMC receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Funds, and the Board considered information on the profitability to HFMC from providing such services to the Funds. The Board also considered that each Fund pays a transfer agency fee to Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), an affiliate of HFMC, equal to the lesser of: (i) the actual costs incurred by HASCO in connection with the provisions of transfer agency services, including payments made to sub-transfer agents, plus a reasonable target profit margin; or (ii) a specified amount as set forth in the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement by and between HMF II, on behalf of its Funds, HMF, on behalf of its series, and HASCO. The Board reviewed information about the profitability to HASCO of the Funds’ transfer agency function. The Board considered information provided by HFMC indicating that the transfer agency fees charged by HASCO to the Funds were fair and reasonable based on available industry data about fees charged by transfer agents to other mutual funds. The Board also noted that HFMC and HASCO had delegated certain fund accounting services and transfer agency services, respectively, to external service providers, subject to oversight.

The Board also considered that Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (“HFD”), an affiliate of HFMC, serves as principal underwriter of the Funds. The Board noted that, as principal underwriter, HFD receives distribution and service fees from the Funds and receives all or a portion of the sales charges on sales or redemptions of certain classes of shares. The Board considered that HFD has entered into an agreement with SIMNA Inc. and SEI Trust Company to provide certain marketing support services in connection with four collective investment trust vehicles for which the Sub-advisers serve as investment adviser. The Board also considered that Schroder Fund Advisors LLC (“SFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIMNA Inc., has entered into an additional compensation arrangement with HFMC and HFD. The Board considered that under this arrangement, SFA is involved in the distribution of the Class SDR shares of the Funds, and HFMC compensates SFA for such services.

The Board considered the benefits, if any, to the Sub-advisers from any use of a Fund’s brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research. The Board also considered that SIMNA Inc. has entered into a solicitation agreement with HFMC pursuant to which HFMC provides certain marketing support services with respect to investment strategy models offered by SIMNA Inc. through its managed account platforms.

Fund-by-Fund Factors

For purposes of evaluating a Fund’s performance, the Board considered the Fund’s performance relative to similarly managed funds and the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark. In particular, the Board considered the Fund’s performance of its Class A shares (net of all fees and expenses), except for Hartford Schroders International Contrarian Value Fund, Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund and Hartford Schroders Sustainable International Core Fund, for which the Board considered the Fund’s performance of its Class I shares (net of all fees and expenses), as of March 31, 2023, and compared that performance to the Fund’s peer universe, which includes all funds within the same classification or category, as determined by Broadridge. The Board considered the Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe by evaluating its quintile ranking, with the 1st quintile representing the top performing funds within a peer universe and the 5th quintile representing the lowest performing funds. For purposes of evaluating the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Board considered the Fund’s performance of its Class I shares (net of all fees and expenses) as of March 31, 2023. The Board considered Fund performance to be “in line with” a Fund’s benchmark where it was 50 basis points above or below the benchmark return. With respect to fees and expenses, the Board considered the Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee, and total operating expenses of its Class A shares, except for Hartford Schroders International Contrarian Value Fund, Hartford Schroders Sustainable Core Bond Fund and Hartford Schroders Sustainable International Core Fund, for which the Board considered the Fund’s total operating expenses of its Class I shares, as compared to the Fund’s expense peer group, which includes a group of similarly sized funds selected by Broadridge.

Based upon the review of the factors summarized above, among others, the Board concluded that it is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the continuation of the Agreements for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements for Hartford Schroders Diversified Growth Fund

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.
Hartford Schroders Diversified Growth Fund

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), initially approve, and annually review and consider the continuation of, the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At its meeting held on September 6-7, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (“HMF II”), including the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve (i) an amendment to the investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) by and between Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) and each of HMF II, on behalf of the Hartford Schroders Diversified Growth Fund(the “Fund”), and The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.; (ii) an amendment to the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) by and between HFMC and the Fund’s sub-adviser, Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA Inc.” or the “Sub-adviser”) with respect to the Fund; and (iii) an amendment to the sub-sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) by and between SIMNA Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.,” and together with SIMNA Inc., the “Sub-advisers,” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”) with respect to the Fund.

Prior to approving the Agreements, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board and its Investment Committee considered the materials and presentations from representatives of the Advisers, including a presentation from the Fund’s proposed portfolio managers, received at meetings held on May 9-11, 2023 and September 6-7, 2023 regarding the Fund and its investment strategy. The members of the Board also considered the materials and presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC received at the Board’s meeting on September 6-7, 2023 concerning the Agreements.

In determining whether to approve the Agreements for the Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate through the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements. Throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Fund and the Independent Directors were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately with independent legal counsel in executive session to consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations and to discuss the materials presented and other matters deemed relevant to their consideration of the approval of the Agreements. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the Agreements is provided below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by the Advisers

The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements and the range of services to be provided by the Advisers. The Board considered each Adviser’s organizational structure, systems and personnel. The Board also considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial

strength, and the Board’s past experience with each Adviser with respect to the services each Adviser provides to other funds managed by HFMC and its affiliates (the “Hartford funds”). In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board and responsiveness to Board inquiries and requests made from time to time with respect to the Hartford funds.

With respect to HFMC, the Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, HFMC would be responsible for the management of the Fund, including oversight of fund operations and service providers. The Board also noted that HFMC would provide investment advisory services to the Fund as well as administrative services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Fund’s Sub-advisers, and that HFMC had recommended to the Board that the Sub-advisers be appointed as the sub-adviser and sub-sub-adviser to the Fund. In this regard, the Board evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by HFMC that were not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-advisers. The Board considered the proposed services to be provided by HFMC and, in its consideration of these services, the Board noted HFMC’s ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance, including its quarterly reviews of each of the Hartford funds, semi-annual meetings with the leaders of each Hartford fund’s portfolio management team, and ongoing oversight of the Hartford funds’ portfolio managers. The Board noted that HFMC has demonstrated a record of initiating changes to the portfolio management and/or investment strategies of the Hartford funds when warranted. The Board considered that HFMC would oversee the Sub-advisers’ investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations by each Sub-adviser and approach to risk management with respect to the Fund. The Board also considered that HFMC would oversee the Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations. Moreover, the Board considered that HFMC would oversee potential conflicts of interest between the Fund’s investments and those of other funds or accounts, if any, managed by such Fund’s portfolio management personnel. In addition, the Board considered that HFMC or its affiliates would be responsible for providing the Fund’s officers.

With respect to SIMNA Inc. and SIMNA Ltd., which would provide certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Fund, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, each Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience, including their experience with respect to environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) investing. The Board considered the experience of the Fund’s proposed portfolio managers, the number of accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and each Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio managers. The Board also considered each Sub-adviser’s succession planning practices to ensure continuity of portfolio management services to be provided to the Fund and HFMC’s oversight of these practices. The Board also considered information previously provided by the Advisers regarding their compliance policies and procedures and compliance history, and received a representation from the Hartford funds’ Chief Compliance Officer that the written compliance policies and procedures of each of HFMC and the Sub-advisers are reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws. In addition, the Board considered HFMC’s representation that it did not anticipate making any material changes to HFMC’s and the Hartford funds’ compliance program as a result of the addition of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits to the Fund’s future shareholders of being part of the family of Hartford funds, including, the right to exchange investments between the same class of shares and the ability to reinvest Fund dividends into other Hartford funds (excluding the Hartford funds that are either an exchange-traded fund or a closed-end fund). The Board considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the Hartford funds with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes and the assumption of entrepreneurial and other risks by HFMC in sponsoring and providing ongoing services to new funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders.

In considering the foregoing information, the Board evaluated not only the information presented to the Board and the Investment Committee in connection with its consideration of the Agreements, but also the Board’s experience through past interactions with HFMC and the Sub-advisers. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by HFMC and the Sub-advisers.

Performance of the Fund and the Advisers

The Board considered the investment performance of the Sub-advisers and their portfolio management teams, including, for purposes of considering the investment skill and experience of the Fund’s portfolio managers, past performance of a composite of accounts managed by the Sub-Advisers using investment strategies substantially similar to those proposed for the Fund (although none of the accounts are registered investment companies). The Board also considered the performance of the composite as compared to the Fund’s proposed benchmark and an appropriate universe of peer funds over various time periods. HFMC also provided additional information about the broad range of the portfolio management team’s investment experience and their investment philosophy and process. The Board also requested and received information about how the Fund’s performance will be evaluated under HFMC’s performance evaluation methodology. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied that HFMC and the Sub-advisers have the capability of providing satisfactory investment performance for the Fund.

Costs of the Services and Profitability of the Advisers

In considering the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fee schedules for the Fund, the Board reviewed information regarding HFMC’s estimated costs to provide investment management and related services to the Fund and the estimated profitability to HFMC from the investment management and related services to be provided to the Fund. In evaluating HFMC’s estimated profitability with respect to the Fund, the Board also considered HFMC’s representation that the level of estimated profitability of the Fund, taking into consideration the revenue and expenses of the Fund, was fair and reasonable based on the nature and quality of the services to be provided to shareholders. The Board also noted that the actual profitability to HFMC of managing the Fund would depend on the growth of such Fund’s assets under management. The Board considered representations from HFMC and SIMNA Inc. that SIMNA Inc.’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a Fund-by-Fund basis and that the sub-advisory fees are paid by HFMC and not the Fund. The Board also considered that SIMNA Ltd. is an affiliate of SIMNA Inc. and that SIMNA Ltd.’s sub-sub-advisory fees would be paid by SIMNA Inc., not the Fund. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Sub-advisers is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by HFMC and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund would not be excessive.

Comparison of Fees and Services to be Provided by the Advisers

The Board considered comparative information with respect to the services to be rendered to and the management fees to be paid by the Fund to HFMC and the estimated total expense ratios of the Fund. The Board also considered the proposed sub-advisory fees to be paid by HFMC to SIMNA Inc. with respect to the Fund. The Board also considered that SIMNA Ltd. is an affiliate of SIMNA Inc. and that SIMNA Ltd.’s sub-sub-advisory fees would be paid by SIMNA Inc., not the Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HFMC and SIMNA Inc. relating to the proposed management and sub-advisory fees, including the sub-advisory fee schedule for the Fund, and the amount of the management fee to be retained by HFMC, and estimated total operating expenses for the Fund. The Board also reviewed information comparing the Fund’s proposed contractual management fees, actual management fees and estimated total expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds (the “Peer Group”) selected from the relevant peer universe identified by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data. As part of this review, the Board considered the composition of the Peer Group and the methodology used to select the Peer Group, which included input from an independent financial services consultant engaged by the Independent Directors to assist them in evaluating the Fund’s proposed management fees and estimated total expense ratios. The Board considered the inherent limitations of such comparisons in light of uncertainty as to how the fees of other funds in the Peer Group are set and potentially material differences between the Fund and its Peer Group.

In considering the reasonableness of the Fund’s proposed management and sub-advisory fees and estimated total expense ratios, the Board considered that the Fund’s proposed contractual management fee was below the average and median of its Peer Group for all asset levels. The Board further considered that the Fund’s proposed contractual management fees, actual management fees and estimated total expense ratio for Class I shares were within the 1st quintile of its Peer Group. The Board also noted that HFMC had contractually agreed to limit the expenses (exclusive of certain specified expenses) for the Fund. The Board considered that the Fund will not pay a management fee for the portion of the Fund’s assets invested in one or more mutual funds or exchange-traded funds for which HFMC or its affiliates serve as investment manager. The Board also considered that HFMC has contractually agreed to waive the management fee of the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee paid to it by the Fund’s wholly owned Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) for as long as the Fund remains invested in the Subsidiary. The Board also received information regarding fees charged by the Sub-adviser to other non-registered fund clients with investment strategies substantially similar to those proposed for the Fund. The Board considered the explanations provided by the Sub-adviser about any differences between the Sub-adviser’s services to the Funds and the services the Sub-adviser provides to other types of clients.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Fund’s proposed fees and estimated total operating expenses, in conjunction with the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters considered, were reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered information regarding economies of scale, including the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether the Fund’s corresponding fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s future shareholders. The Board reviewed the breakpoint in the proposed management fee schedule for the Fund, which would reduce the fee rate if and when Fund assets grow over time to more than $1 billion. The Board considered HFMC’s representation that the Fund could be expected to achieve some economies of scale as assets in such Fund grow. The Board recognized that a fund with assets beyond the highest breakpoint level would continue to benefit from economies

179

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)

of scale because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee resulting in lower effective management fee rates. The Board also recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a breakpoint at a lower asset level provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. The Board considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce the Fund’s expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if Fund assets decline. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses for the Hartford funds in recent years, which has resulted in benefits being realized by shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates and pricing the Fund to scale at inception are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders.

The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from HFMC showing how management fee schedules of other funds in the Peer Group reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders as a fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. The Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.

The Board also considered how any benefits from economies of scale would be realized by the various parties. The Board reviewed relevant information included in the materials provided to the Board regarding comparative breakpoint information for other funds in the Peer Group. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale, if any, would be shared for the benefit of the Fund’s future shareholders. The Board noted, however, that it would monitor any future growth in the Fund’s assets and the appropriateness of additional management fee breakpoints or other methods to share benefits from economies of scale as part of its future review of the Agreements.

Other Benefits

The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Fund.

The Board noted that HFMC would receive fees for fund accounting and related services from the Fund. The Board also considered that Hartford Administrative Services Company, the Fund’s transfer agent and an affiliate of HFMC, would receive transfer agency compensation from the Fund.

The Board also considered that Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (“HFD”), an affiliate of HFMC, would serve as principal underwriter of the Fund. The Board also considered that Schroder Fund Advisors LLC (“SFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIMNA Inc., has entered into an additional compensation arrangement with HFMC and HFD. The Board considered that under this arrangement, SFA would be involved in the distribution of the Class SDR shares of the Fund, and HFMC would compensate SFA for such services.

The Board also considered that SIMNA Inc. has entered into a solicitation agreement with HFMC pursuant to which HFMC provides certain marketing support services with respect to investment strategy models offered by SIMNA Inc. through its managed account platforms.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund returned 4.79%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index, which returned 8.38% for the same period and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 10.14% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the 5.60% average return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, rose over the trailing twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023. Greater optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin to scale back its aggressive pace of interest rate increases, along with outsized short covering and hedging, helped to fuel a sharp rebound in stocks in November 2022 before risk sentiment waned in December 2022 amid recession fears, macroeconomic challenges, and downside earnings risks in the coming quarters.

U.S. equity markets surged higher in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence (AI). Markedly stronger-than-forecast first-quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

U.S. equities were later pressured by surging Treasury yields amid firming views that the Fed will keep interest rates elevated for a prolonged period. Even as household budgets were strained by tightening credit conditions and lofty prices, markets dialed back the probability of recession as cooling inflation, a solid job market, and resilient consumer spending increased the potential that the U.S. economy could achieve a “soft landing”.

Returns varied by market cap during the period, as mid- and small-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, respectively, both underperformed large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.

Five of the eleven sectors in the Russell 3000 Index posted positive returns during the period, while six sectors posted negative returns. Strong performers included the Communication Services (+32.00%), Information Technology (+28.10%), and Consumer Discretionary (+7.20%) sectors, while the Utilities (-8.59%), Real Estate (-7.96%), and Healthcare (-5.66%) sectors detracted most.

During the period, the Fund underperformed the Russell 3000 Index primarily due to weak stock selection within the Information Technology, Materials, and Healthcare sectors. Conversely, stronger selection within the Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed positively to returns relative to the Russell 3000 Index during the period. Sector allocation, a result of bottom-up stock selection, also detracted during the period primarily due to the Fund’s underweight exposures to the Information Technology and Communication Services sectors and an overweight exposure to the Healthcare sector. Underweight exposures to the Utilities and Energy sectors relative to the Russell 3000 Index contributed positively to performance.

The Fund’s underweight exposures, relative to the Russell 3000 Index, to Microsoft (Information Technology) and NVIDIA (Information Technology), and an overweight exposure to FMC (Materials) were the top relative detractors from Fund performance during the period. Microsoft is an American multinational technology company. Shares of Microsoft ended the period higher based on what we consider to be strong financial performance, which was boosted by their cloud and AI technologies. High expectations from their newly announced Copilot also helped to push the stock up. The Fund maintained an underweight position to the stock as of the end of the period. NVIDIA is an American multinational technology company. Shares of NVIDIA sharply rose over the period as the company reported quarterly earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, in large part due to the rapid adoption of AI technology. We increased the Fund’s holdings in the stock during the period, but the Fund remains underweight relative to the benchmark as of the end of the period. FMC is an American chemical manufacturing company. Shares of FMC fell over the period due to a significant year-over-year decline in revenue and earnings. The company also cut its forward guidance for 2023, citing substantially lower sales volume in the Latin America region. The Fund maintained an overweight to the stock as of the end of the period.

Fund Overview – (continued)
October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

FMC (Materials), Pfizer (Healthcare), and Southwest Airlines (Industrials) were among the largest detractors from performance on an absolute basis over the period.

Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index included the Fund’s purchase and sale of shares of Tesla (Consumer Discretionary) during the period, an overweight exposure to Tradeweb Markets (Financials), as well as the Fund’s decision to not hold Bank of America (Financials). Tesla engages in the design, development, manufacture, and sale of fully electric vehicles (EVs), energy generation and storage systems. Shares of Tesla rose over the period after reporting strong financial results in 2022. The company's Model Y was the number one selling vehicle globally in the first quarter becoming the first EV to claim that title. Tradeweb Markets is an international Financial Services company. Shares of Tradeweb Markets rose over the period after the company reported second quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates, driven by lower expenses. Revenue from the company’s rate-based trading products also contributed positively to results. The team increased the Fund’s overweight position in the stock. Bank of America is an American multinational investment bank and Financial Services holding company. Shares of Bank of America fell over the period amid heightened fears of the fallout from the financial distress at Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Capital, and Signature Bank. The Fund continues to not hold the stock.

Microsoft (Information Technology), NVIDIA (Information Technology), and Alphabet (Communication Services) were among the largest contributors to performance on an absolute basis over the period.

From a style perspective, the Fund’s slight overweight exposure to lower beta names contributed positively to performance, while the Fund’s slight underweight exposure to higher-momentum names detracted from performance.

During the period, the Fund, at times, used equity index futures to equitize cash and to efficiently manage risks. During the period, the use of equity index futures contributed positively to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, markets remain volatile and investors are avidly watching the development of macroeconomic themes and the risks they pose. We believe there will be ongoing volatility as investors react to the potential for persistently higher interest rates, sticky inflation, a slowdown in China, and the outsized impact of a select few stocks on index returns. As ever, managing risk is at the forefront of our investment process.

We seek to create for the Fund a portfolio of differentiated investment styles and philosophies, and in doing so we are mindful of the evolving risks and opportunities for each sleeve manager’s style. Looking forward, we believe structurally higher interest rates may create more volatility in business models that have previously been stable. We are cognizant of areas of the value universe that have a heightened risk of insolvency. Finally, within the growth universe, we are wary of

longer duration growth stocks – especially those with long make-back periods due to heightened speculation – that are more sensitive to valuation risk.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Industrials and Financials sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to the Information Technology and Energy sectors, relative to the Russell 3000 Index.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. The Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among portfolio management teams may not work as intended. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Core Equity Fund returned 6.77%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 10.14% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, also underperformed the 9.53% average return of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equity markets surged higher in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence. Markedly stronger-than-forecast first-quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

probability of recession as cooling inflation, a solid job market, and resilient consumer spending increased the potential that the U.S. economy could achieve a “soft landing”.

Returns varied by market capitalization during the period, as large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, outperformed small-cap and mid-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index, respectively.

Six out of eleven sectors in the S&P 500 Index fell during the period, with the Utilities (-8%) and Real Estate (-7%) sectors performing the worst. The Communication Services (+36%) and Information Technology (+31%) sectors were the best performers during the period.

Overall, the Fund’s underperformance versus the S&P 500 Index during the period was driven by weak security selection, primarily within the Information Technology, Industrials, and Communication Services sectors. This was partially offset by stronger stock selection within the Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials sectors, which contributed positively to performance. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, also detracted from relative performance, primarily driven by the Fund’s overweight to the Healthcare sector and underweight to the Communication Services sector. This was partially offset by the Fund’s underweight positions to the Energy and Real Estate sectors, which contributed positively to performance.

The top detractors from the Fund’s relative performance over the period were underweights in NVIDIA (Information Technology) and Meta Platforms (Communication Services) and an overweight in Sysco (Consumer Staples). Shares of NVIDIA rose over the period after the chipmaker gave a third-quarter revenue forecast above expectations, indicating that demand for chips used in artificial intelligence computing remains robust. The company also reported second-quarter revenue above estimates, driven by better-than-expected results in its Data Center and Gaming segments. The share price of Meta Platforms, a U.S.-based social networking operator, rose after management released solid second quarter 2023 results and positive near-term guidance. The company reported that

quarterly revenue rose 11% year-over-year, buoyed by a rebound in online advertising after a post-pandemic slump. Shares of Sysco fell over the period. The company’s fiscal year end, July 1, 2023, reported results which showed record results which entails record cash flow for the year, an improved target net debt ratio, and improved productivity which resulted in strong bottom-line margin expansion. Top absolute detractors from the Fund’s performance for the period included Bank of America (Financials), Pfizer (Healthcare), and Estee Lauder (Consumer Staples).

The top contributors to relative performance over the period were overweight positions in Eli Lilly (Healthcare) and KLA (Information Technology) and not owning Johnson & Johnson (Healthcare). Shares of Eli Lilly rose after the company reported strong second quarter 2023 results, with total revenue rising 28% to $8.3 billion from the same quarter last year. Management of Eli Lilly also raised its annual forecasts as demand for new diabetes drug Mounjaro surged ahead of a decision on its use as a weight-loss treatment. Shares of KLA rose over the period. The company reported fiscal fourth-quarter results which beat expectations with net income of $684.7 million, or $4.97 a share. The company attributed strong performance to the combination of the broad strength of their portfolio, focused operational execution and high-performing teams coming together to deliver against their financial objectives in what remains a challenging demand environment. Shares of Johnson & Johnson fell during the period. Shares were pressured by the announcement of slowing production of COVID-19 vaccines due to weakening demand as well as mixed fourth quarter earnings results that showed declining sales that were driven by waning COVID-19 vaccines and foreign exchange (FX) challenges. Additionally, costs related to the company’s spin-off of its consumer-health business as well as ongoing talc litigations remain an overhang. Top absolute contributors to the Fund’s performance for the period included Microsoft (Information Technology), Alphabet (Communication Services), and Amazon (Consumer Discretionary).

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, U.S. labor markets continue to demonstrate underlying strength, with unemployment levels still below 4% and year over year increases in hourly wages continuing to show growth in the 4% range. We believe that the upward surprise in the Job Openings and Labor Turnover (JOLTS) report in August has further fueled the sense of heightened labor bargaining power, evidenced in increasing union activism and resultant strikes such as those seen at the UAW and elsewhere. Observable strength in the economy caused the Fed at its most recent meeting to raise its projections for growth in 2023 and 2024 from prior levels, while also seeming, in our view, to justify its current stance to maintain interest rates at higher levels.

The resumption of student debt servicing began October 1st and we believe this serves as an additional stressor to a U.S. consumer that has balanced solid wage growth with dwindling excess savings, record-low housing affordability, and the cumulative impact being felt in myriad ways in their daily lives from the higher rate environment.

We believe fourth quarter spending trends in the all-important holiday season will bear watching as this may provide a key indicator into consumer confidence and spending intentions heading into 2024.

The U.S. Congress avoided a government shutdown through the passing of a 45-day funding bill, but the risk of a shutdown in mid-November looms. In our view, the ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy has created uncertainty, not only in Republican leadership, but also in the fixed income market, with Treasury yields now exceeding those witnessed in the ’08-‘09 financial crisis. We believe heightened concern around elevated deficits might not yet lead to constructive discussion, compromise, and resolution within Congress, but the increased risk is being met with an increased wariness in the bond market.

Outside of the U.S., we believe that the persistent war in Europe, a new conflict in the Middle East, and the continuing weakness in the Chinese economy remain top-of-mind concerns for the markets.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Healthcare, Utilities, and Communication Services sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to the Materials, Industrials, and Information Technology sectors, relative to the S&P 500 Index.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund returned 2.43%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 10.14% for the same period, and outperforming the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 0.13% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, outperformed the 0.83% average return of the Lipper Equity Income Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

probability of recession as cooling inflation, a solid job market, and resilient consumer spending increased the potential that the U.S. economy could achieve a “soft landing”.

Six out of eleven sectors in the S&P 500 Index fell during the period, with the Utilities (-8%), Real Estate (-7%), and Healthcare (-5%) sectors performing the worst. The Communication Services (+36%), Information Technology (+31%), and Consumer Discretionary (+8%) sectors were the best performers during the period.

Security selection was the main driver of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the period. Selection was weakest within the Information Technology, Healthcare, and Financials sectors. This was partially offset by stronger selection within the Energy and Industrials sectors, which contributed positively to relative performance over the same period. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, also detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. An underweight allocation to the Information Technology sector and an overweight allocation to the Financials sector detracted the most from returns relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period.

The Fund’s top detractors from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period included not owning NVIDIA (Information Technology) and Meta Platforms (Communication Services), and an overweight position to FMC (Materials). Shares of NVIDIA rose during the period as the company became the first chipmaker to achieve $1 trillion market valuation due to strong data center demand on the growing needs of chips for generative artificial intelligence and language learning models. Shares of Meta Platforms, a U.S.-based social networking operator, rose following strong quarter results during the period. The company saw an 11% increase in revenue year-over-year driven by a rebound in online advertising after a post-pandemic slump and boosted its stock buyback authorization by $40 billion. Shares of FMC fell after the company reported quarterly results below consensus estimates due to declines in volume and challenges from foreign currencies during the period.

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The Fund’s top contributors to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period included not owning Tesla (Consumer Discretionary) and out-of-benchmark positions in Ryanair Holdings (Industrials) and TotalEnergies (Energy). Shares of Tesla fell during the period as the company struggled with underutilization of new factories and higher costs for raw materials, commodities, and logistics. The company’s most recent earnings results missed consensus estimates, noting that it will likely take twelve to eighteen months before Cybertruck is a positive cash flow contributor. Shares of Ryanair, Europe's biggest discount airline, rose during the period. The company raised its full-year profit forecast following stronger-than-expected demand during the Christmas travel period. The company later reported its largest after-tax profit for the third quarter fiscal year 2023 as well as revenue growth of 40% year-over-year, driven by an increase in passenger volumes. Shares of TotalEnergies rose after reporting solid earnings results driven by high commodity prices during the period. The company also announced they will invest $300 million in a new joint venture with Adani Green for a renewable Energy project as part of its plan to get to net zero by 2050.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

The divergence between growth and value subsided in the third quarter of 2023. Sectors declined broadly and mega cap technology-related names pulled back following an AI-driven acceleration in the first half of the period. From a macro perspective, we think inconsistent macroeconomic indicators will drive uncertainty around Fed policy in the near term but, in our view, expect interest rates to remain higher for longer. We believe that persistent labor market tightness and wage growth seem inconsistent with the “soft landing” scenario anticipated earlier this year against the backdrop of volatile Energy prices, which we expect to be inflationary over the long term.

We remain positioned for persistent inflation and decelerating growth by focusing on companies with balance sheet strength, sustainable and growing cash flows, and high-quality management teams. We continue to believe that opportunistically investing in out of favor growth and cyclical names with positive risk/reward skews may provide upside potential while maintaining an overweight to more defensive segments (e.g., insurance, Healthcare services, consumer defensive) may insulate the portfolio from valuation-driven corrections.

At the end of the period, the Fund had its largest overweights in the Energy and Financials sectors, and the largest underweights in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors, relative to the S&P 500 Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Equity Income Fund returned -1.39%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 0.13% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, also underperformed the 0.83% average return of the Lipper Equity Income Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to that of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, rose over the trailing twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023. Greater optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin to scale back its aggressive pace of interest rate increases, along with outsized short covering and hedging, helped to fuel a sharp rebound in stocks in November 2022 before risk sentiment waned in December 2022 amid recession fears, macroeconomic challenges, and downside earnings risks in the coming quarters. U.S. equity markets rallied in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence. Markedly stronger-than-forecast first-quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

Seven of the eleven sectors in the Russell 1000 Value Index declined during the period, with the Healthcare (-10%), Real Estate (-8%), and Utilities (-8%) sectors lagging the most. Conversely, the Communication Services (+30%), Information Technology (+8%), and Industrials (+7%) sectors were the top performers.

The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index during the period was driven by sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process. The Fund’s underweight position in the Communication Services sector and overweight positions in the Healthcare and the Utilities sectors detracted from relative results. This was partially offset by the Fund’s overweight position in the Information Technology sector. Security selection contributed positively to relative performance. Strong selection in the Materials, Consumer Discretionary, and Healthcare sectors was partially offset by weaker selection in the Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Financials sectors.

Top detractors from relative performance during the period included not holding Meta Platforms (Communication Services), a position in Pfizer (Healthcare), and not holding Berkshire Hathaway (Financials). Not owning Meta Platforms detracted from relative performance as shares rose after the company reported better-than-forecast revenue for the fourth quarter 2022 and boosted its stock buyback authorization by $40 billion. Management of Meta Platforms also said that it anticipated lowered total expenses in 2023 driven in part by staff reduction. The company later reported upbeat quarterly results and raised guidance driven by an improving digital advertising environment. Shares of pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, Pfizer, declined during the period as the company faced questions on the sustainability of its revenue from its COVID portfolio as the pandemic eased. As of the end of the period, the Fund continued to own Pfizer. Not owning Berkshire Hathaway detracted from relative performance as shares rose on solid quarterly results.

Top contributors to relative returns included the Fund's out-of-benchmark positions in Broadcom (Information Technology), Ares Management (Financials), and Rio Tinto (Materials). Shares of Broadcom climbed higher in May alongside the semiconductor sector after NVIDIA announced second-quarter revenue guidance more than 50% above estimates. Broadcom also reported better-than-expected earnings for the fiscal second quarter, which management attributed to demand for next generation technologies from hyperscale. Shares of Ares Management, the alternative investment manager, rose during the period on the back of fundraising momentum and new client commitments. Shares of Metals and Mining company, Rio Tinto, rose during the period as China's COVID policies relaxed and mounting worries about supply helped fuel a sharp rally in Metals and Mining stocks. As of the end of the period, the Fund continued to own all three positions as discussed above.

Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period and did not have an impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

Looking ahead, we believe the Fund’s investment universe is rich with new opportunities. We continue to focus on seeking to find high quality businesses with strong balance sheets and sustainable dividends. We continue to evaluate downside stress test scenarios in the Fund.

At the end of the period, the Utilities, Healthcare, and Consumer Staples sectors represented the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index, while the Communication Services, Industrials, and Financials sectors were the Fund’s largest underweights.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • For dividend-paying stocks, dividends are not guaranteed and may decrease without notice. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Different investment styles may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund returned 16.92%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which returned 17.32% for the same period, and underperforming the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 18.95% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, outperformed the 8.16% average return of the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the Russell 3000 Growth Index, rose over the trailing twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023. Greater optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin to scale back its aggressive pace of interest rate increases, along with outsized short covering and hedging, helped to fuel a sharp rebound in stocks in November 2022 before risk sentiment waned in December 2022 amid recession fears, macroeconomic challenges, and downside earnings risks in the coming quarters.

Six out of eleven sectors in the Russell 3000 Growth Index rose during the period, with Communication Services (+34%), Information Technology (+32%), and Consumer Discretionary (+11%) performing the best while Utilities (-16%), Real Estate (-6%), and Energy (-3%) performed the worst during the period.

Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, was the primary driver of underperformance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period, due to an underweight to the Information Technology sector and an overweight to the Healthcare sector. This was partially offset by an overweight to the Communication Services and an underweight to the Consumer Staples sectors.

Security selection contributed positively to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period. Strong selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, and Information Technology sectors was partially offset by weak selection within the Healthcare, Materials, and Real Estate sectors.

Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period included Microsoft (Information Technology), ZoomInfo Technologies (Communication Services), and Align Technology (Healthcare). Shares of Microsoft rose during the period following third quarter results where revenue and earnings per share beat consensus estimates. The intelligent cloud and the productivity and business processes segments each grew revenue by double digits year-over-year. Also, the company's alliance with OpenAI has led to the announcement of new product releases including Copilot, an AI assistant designed to help navigate Bing and the Office product suite. Shares of ZoomInfo Technologies fell after the sales and marketing software company issued weaker-than-expected second quarter results and cut its guidance for full-year 2023. The company’s revenue failed to meet consensus estimates while full year guidance on revenue was cut indicating challenges in the fourth quarter. Shares of Align Technology fell over a volatile year. Shares of Align Technology rose in June as the company provided an encouraging business update at the Goldman Sachs Global Healthcare Conference. Shares of the company then fell in October as third quarter results were significantly worse than expected. Demand was weak and orthodontic patient appointments and case starts decreased significantly in September 2023 and continued through October 2023. Management of Align Technology expects revenue to be down sequentially in the fourth quarter due to weak trends and a challenging macro environment. Align Technology is also executing a headcount

reduction. ZoomInfo Technologies (Communication Services) and Align Technology (Healthcare) were among the top absolute detractors during the period.

Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index during the period included Meta Platforms (Communication Services), NVIDIA (Information Technology), and the Fund’s underweight position in Tesla (Consumer Discretionary). The share price of Meta Platforms, a U.S.-based social networking operator, rose after management released solid second quarter results and positive near-term guidance. The company reported quarterly revenue rose 11% year-over-year, buoyed by a rebound in online advertising after a post-pandemic slump. Shares of NVIDIA surged over the period after the chipmaker provided second-quarter revenue and gross margin outlook sharply above estimates, driven by strong data center demand on the growing need of chips for generative artificial intelligence and language learning models. At the end of May 2023, the company became the first chipmaker to achieve a $1 trillion market valuation. Shares of Tesla fell over the period after the company reported lower-than-expected third quarter production and delivery numbers. Tesla reported 343,000 total deliveries and 365,000 vehicles produced during the quarter. The company also announced a 20% output cut of the Model Y at the company’s Shanghai plant along with growing pains from executive turnover, logistical challenges and rising commodity prices. NVIDIA (Information Technology) and Meta Platforms (Communication Services) were among the top absolute contributors during the period.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, we continue to seek to take advantage of the current market volatility by investing in well-managed companies where we believe future earnings growth is underappreciated by the market, while being cognizant of the downside risks. With interest rates likely stabilizing from here, in our view, we are hopeful this provides a more supportive backdrop for growth stocks and for fundamentals to drive returns.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Communication Services and Healthcare sectors relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index and the Fund was most underweight to the Information Technology and the Consumer Discretionary sectors.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Different investment styles may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of

currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. • The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Healthcare Fund returned -5.11%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, which returned -5.24% for the same period, while underperforming the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s other benchmark, which returned 10.14% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the -4.24% average return of the Lipper Global Health and Biotechnology peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Healthcare equities (-5.24%) underperformed both the broader United States (U.S.) equity market (+10.14%) and the global equity market (+11.06%) during the period, as measured by the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, S&P 500 Index, and MSCI ACWI Index (Net), respectively. Within the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, all five sub-sectors posted negative absolute returns during the period. Small-cap Biopharma (-31.13%), mid-cap Biopharma (-16.54%), Medical Technology (-8.56%), Healthcare Services (-6.22%) and large-cap Biopharma (-1.32%) declined during the period.

Security selection was the primary contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index during the period. Sector allocation detracted from relative returns. Security selection was strongest in the large-cap Biopharma and small-cap Biopharma sub-sectors. Selection in the Medical Technology and Healthcare Services sub-sectors detracted from relative returns. Within sector allocation, which is a by-product of the bottom-up stock selection process, an overweight allocation to mid-cap Biopharma detracted most from relative performance during the period, while an underweight to Medical Technology contributed positively to relative returns.

Not holding Johnson & Johnson (large-cap Biopharma) or CVS Health (Healthcare Services), and the Fund’s position in Exact Sciences (Medical Technology) were the top contributors to performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index over the period. Not owning Johnson & Johnson, a constituent of the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, contributed positively to relative performance, as shares traded lower. Slowing growth in pharma and major immunology drug patent expires in 2023/2024 have weighed on the stock. Additionally, the company’s bankruptcy strategy to ringfence talc liabilities during the period has remained an overhang due to some legal risk as well as the potential for longstanding reputational damage. Not owning benchmark constituent CVS also contributed positively to relative performance, as negative sentiment around CVS’ acquisition price for Oak Street Health and Signify Health weighed on the stock as well as investor concerns of potential decelerating earnings per share growth in 2024. Shares of Exact Sciences rose after its competitor in cancer screening, Guardant Health, announced results from a study using its blood test to screen for colorectal cancer that showed a sensitivity rate of 83% lagging Exact Sciences' stool-sample screening test, Cologuard, which has a sensitivity rate of 92%. The company also announced positive preliminary fourth quarter results citing a year-over-year increase in revenues excluding COVID-19 testing driven by strength in its cancer screening diagnostics including the company’s colorectal cancer screening test, Cologuard. Eli Lilly, Stryker, and Boston Scientific were the top absolute contributors to the Fund’s performance.

Illumina (Medical Technology), AdaptHealth (Healthcare Services), and Insulet (Medical Technology) detracted from results relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index over the period. Shares of Illumina declined as ongoing regulatory overhang and mixed quarterly results over the period have weighed on the stock. Most recently the company lowered 2023 guidance and expects second half of 2023 revenue growth to be impacted by a slow recovery in China, cautious purchasing behavior, and a decline in consumables as clients transition to the NovaSeq X system. Illumina is undergoing a management transition including a new CEO and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of the GRAIL acquisition is also still ongoing. Shares of AdaptHealth fell after the company

reported fourth quarter results showing weaker than expected earnings and revenues. Management of AdaptHealth cited larger impacts from revenue mix and cost pressures than previously expected and ultimately lowered its revenue outlook for 2023. We eliminated the position in the Fund during the period. Shares of Insulet, a supplier of insulin delivery systems for diabetes patients, declined sharply towards the end of the period, primarily in response to concerns that the uptake of weight loss drugs could lead to lower incidence rates of diabetes and softer demand for the company’s insulin pumps. Top absolute detractors from the Fund’s performance during the period included Pfizer, Illumina, and Danaher.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

We believe groundbreaking innovation, supportive valuations and business models positioned to show resilience through the cycle may benefit long-term investors in the sector.

Biopharma remains a rich environment for innovation in our view. We anticipate continued developments in disease areas, such as Alzheimer’s disease, metabolic diseases, and cancer and in companies discovering drugs using new modalities, such as RNA and gene therapies. We expect the fundamental backdrop and resilient earnings of large-cap Biopharma to be a tailwind in a potential recessionary environment. We believe that small to mid-cap Biopharma companies remain well positioned as sources of innovation and potential solutions to pipeline gaps for larger companies. We continue to watch next steps in Inflation Reduction Act policy implementation after the initial drug price negotiations list was issued at the end of the period. We believe valuations remain attractive relative to history and recent clinical readouts continue to support robust growth assumptions for major indications.

We believe medical technology innovation has never been stronger due to advancements in technology development, engineering capabilities and integrated informatics. Leading companies gained scale over the last decade and are positioned to drive better organic growth in our view. These include categories in the earlier stages of clinical penetration and geographic expansion such as diabetes, transcatheter aortic valve replacement and mitral valve therapies, genetic sequencing and downstream diagnostics, and robotic surgery. While post-COVID normalization has been choppy, we expect company fundamentals and pipelines may soon reengage as the primary driver of stock performance. We are focused on companies with strong organic growth and superior business models to navigate this macro environment.

We believe health care services companies remain well-positioned to help solve the societal challenge of rising Healthcare costs, and some will benefit from the ongoing transition from a fee-for-service to a fee-for-value care system. We believe managed care remains attractive on valuation, and these companies’ earnings may hold up well in periods of economic volatility. Broadly, we favor companies focused on improving patient outcomes while reigning in costs.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Risks of focusing investments on the healthcare related sector include regulatory and legal developments, changes in funding or subsidies, patent and intellectual property considerations, intense competitive pressures, rapid technological changes, long and costly process for obtaining product approval by government agencies, potential product obsolescence, rising cost of medical products and services, and liquidity risk. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford MidCap Fund returned -3.04%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, which returned -1.06% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the -0.08% average return of the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to that of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose over the trailing twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023. Greater optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin to scale back its aggressive pace of interest rate increases, along with outsized short covering and hedging, helped to fuel a sharp rebound in stocks in November 2022 before risk sentiment waned in December 2022 amid recession fears, macroeconomic challenges, and downside earnings risks in the coming quarters. U.S. equity markets surged higher in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence. Markedly stronger-than-forecast first-quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

Returns varied by market capitalization during the period. Large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, outperformed mid-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index. During the period, small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, underperformed mid-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index.

Within the S&P MidCap 400 Index, six out of the eleven sectors posted positive returns during the period. The Industrials (+11%), Information Technology (+8%), and Consumer Discretionary (+3%) sectors performed the best, while the Communication Services (-23%), Utilities (-18%) and Financials (-13%) sectors underperformed the broader index.

The Fund underperformed the S& P MidCap 400 Index during the twelve-month period primarily due to negative security selection. Selection was particularly weak within the Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Materials sectors. This was partially offset by strong selection in the Information Technology, Communication Services and Energy sectors, which contributed positively to performance during the period. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, contributed positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index during the period. This was primarily due to an underweight allocation to the Financials and Real Estate sectors and an overweight to the Information Technology sector. This was partially offset by overweights to the Health Care and Energy sectors, which contributed negatively to performance during the period.

Top detractors from the Fund’s relative performance for the period included Chewy (Consumer Discretionary), First Republic Bank (Financials), and Nuvei (Financials).

Shares of Chewy fell over the period despite the online pet products retailer reporting results for fiscal second quarter 2023 that beat consensus estimates. Management of Chewy provided cautious commentary regarding customers trading down to lower-priced pet food amid high inflation. Management of Chewy also reported a decrease in active customers of 0.6% year-over-year. Shares of First Republic bank declined over the period on limited news. The bank was acquired by JP Morgan in May 2023. Shares of payment technology company Nuvei decreased over the period after the company cut revenue guidance for the full year. The company is also being sued after allegedly refusing to pay out shareholders of Atlanta-based payment processing company Paya after acquiring Paya through a tender offer this year.

Fund Overview – (continued)
October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Top contributors to relative performance during the period included MongoDB (Information Technology), Axon Enterprise (Industrials), and Exact Sciences (Healthcare). Shares of MongoDB declined over the period despite reporting forecast adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter that beat the average analyst estimate. The broader tech market has caused tech stocks to slide over the period. Shares of Axon Enterprise rose over the period after boosting its revenue guidance for the full year which beat the average analyst estimate. Axon Enterprise reported second quarter earnings per share and sales above estimates which was driven by taser and body camera demand. The company also promoted COO Joshua Isner to President. Shares of Exact Sciences declined over the period as analysts are exercising caution over the health diagnostics company’s lofty valuation following strong second quarter earnings results and guidance raise.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, we continue to focus new portfolio additions on businesses where we feel there is a long runway for stable growth across the market cycle.

With the market embracing the view of higher rates for longer, we believe the next twelve to 24 months will be less style or factor driven and may be a better environment for individual stock picking. We believe the higher rate environment will be challenging for businesses to grow. While growth will be harder to come by with higher costs of capital in our view, the pace of technological change should continue to move forward and accelerate in our view. In that context, we remain focused on seeking to find businesses that can benefit from this change.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) characteristics into the investment process may not work as intended.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford MidCap Value Fund returned 0.04% before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, which returned -3.56% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, outperformed the -1.06% average return of the Lipper MidCap Value Fund peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equity markets surged higher in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence. Markedly stronger-than-forecast first quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

Returns varied by market capitalization during the period, as large-cap equities as measured by the S&P 500 Index outperformed both mid- and small-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and Russell 2000 Index, respectively. Returns within the mid-cap space varied by style, as the Russell Midcap Growth Index outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index.

Nine out of eleven sectors in the Russell Midcap Value Index declined during the period, with the Consumer Staples (-12%), Healthcare (-10%), and Communication Services (-10%) sectors lagging most. Conversely, the Industrials (+9%) and Energy (+3%) sectors were the top performers and delivered positive returns during the period.

Security selection was the primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance versus the Russell Midcap Value Index over the period. Sector allocation decisions also contributed positively, albeit more modestly. Selection within the Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Industrials sectors were the top drivers of performance. This was partially offset by weaker security selection in the Materials, Energy, and Healthcare sectors. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, also contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. Overweight exposure to the Industrials, Energy, and Financials sectors contributed positively to relative returns but this was partially offset by detraction from an underweight allocation to the Materials sector.

Top security contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap Value Index over the period included overweight positions to Builders FirstSource (Industrials), Welltower (Real Estate), and U.S. Foods Holdings (Consumer Staples). Shares of Builders FirstSource ended the period higher after the company reported first-quarter net sales and margins above expectations, driven by better-than-expected results in their manufactured products and windows, doors, and millwork segments. Shares of Welltower rose after the company reported earnings results that saw revenue beat estimates throughout the period. Management of Welltower raised fiscal year 2023 guidance and highlighted expanding relationships with top operators in the second quarter. Shares of U.S. Foods Holdings ended the period higher following strong earnings results during the period. During the period, management of U.S. Foods Holdings continued to see an increase in volume across all customer types and doubled growth in independent restaurants, fiscal year guidance was raised as a result.

Top detractors from the Fund’s relative performance during the period included overweight positions to FMC (Materials) and Lumentum Holdings (Information Technology), as well as an out-of-benchmark position in Ingevity (Materials). Shares of FMC fell after the company reported quarterly results below consensus estimates due to declines in volume and challenges from foreign currencies during the period. Shares of Lumentum holdings fell during the period despite better-than-expected quarter results as the company continued to see a decline in revenue and adjusted earnings due to weakness in the Optical Communications segment. Shares of Ingevity declined during the period as the company came up short of expectations regarding quarterly reports due to the continued destocking in certain product lines and pressure on margins from rising crude tall oil costs.

Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period and did not have an impact on performance.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

Given the widening range of economic outcomes, we continue to emphasize quality across the portfolio, stress test models and balance sheets, and actively identify new opportunities created by the market turmoil. Over the period, we increased exposure to the Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors while reducing the Fund’s weights to the Industrials and Healthcare sectors. We continue to seek opportunities that we believe offer a compelling combination of valuation, quality, and capital return.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Different investment styles may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund returned -5.56%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned -7.63% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, outperformed the -6.21% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equity markets surged higher in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence. Markedly stronger-than-forecast first-quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

probability of recession as cooling inflation, a solid job market, and resilient consumer spending increased the potential that the U.S. economy could achieve a “soft landing”.

Returns varied by market cap during the period, as large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, outperformed small-cap and mid-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index, respectively.

Eight out of eleven sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had negative returns during the period. The Healthcare (-18%), Utilities (-18%), and Materials (-13%) sectors lagged the broader index while the Consumer Staples (+10%) sector increased.

Security selection was the primary driver of outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the period. Strong selection within the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Real Estate sectors contributed positively to relative performance. This was partially offset by weaker selection in the Healthcare, Communication Services, and Industrials sectors, which detracted from relative performance. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, also contributed positively to relative performance. This was driven by the Fund’s overweight allocation to the Industrials sector, a lack of exposure to the Utilities sector, and an underweight to the Healthcare sector. An underweight allocation to the Materials sector and an overweight to the Information Technology sector detracted from performance during the period.

The top contributors to relative performance during the period were overweight positions in ImmunoGen (Healthcare), Axcelis Technologies (Information Technology), and Celsius Holdings (Consumer Staples). ImmunoGen shares rose during the period as the company reported strong topline results from a Phase 3 study of antibody-drug conjugate Elahere compared to chemotherapy for the treatment of a specific type of ovarian cancer. Elahere showed a 33% reduction in the risk of death and a 35% reduction in the risk of tumor progression or death in comparison to the chemotherapy trial arm. Shares of Axcelis Technologies rose as the semiconductor service and equipment company increased its revenue guidance at the beginning of the period for its fourth quarter 2022 earnings, driven by

Fund Overview – (continued)

higher system shipments and aftermarket revenues. Later in the period, Axcelis reported better-than-expected earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 earnings, exceeding analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings per share. Shares of Celsius Holdings, finished the period higher after the beverage company posted first-quarter earnings, which reported that its sales nearly doubled, beating consensus estimates. Management of Celsius Holdings attributed this to the drink’s expanded availability and increased consumer awareness. Top absolute contributors for the period included Celsius Holdings (Consumer Staples), Super Micro Computer (Information Technology), and Axcelis Technologies (Information Technology).

The top detractors from relative performance included an underweight position in R1 RCM (Healthcare) and overweight positions in Inspire Medical Systems (Healthcare) and Chart Industries (Industrials). Shares of R1 RCM fell during the period after the company reported third quarter earnings missed expectations. Lower incentive fees, payor challenges and lower operating fees due to weak volumes drove the underperformance. Management of R1 RCM also lowered 2022 revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) guidance ranges. The company announced an abrupt CEO transition effective January 1, 2023. Shares of Inspire Medical Solutions rose during the period. The company had 84% revenue growth in the first quarter driven by utilization acceleration and raised 2023 revenue guidance. Inspire opened 68 new therapy centers in the U.S. and we believe that a large opportunity set in the market remains. The U.S. FDA also approved the therapy for patients over 13 with Down Syndrome and raised the label’s Apnea Hyopena Index and Body Mass Index limits. The share price of Chart Industries, an Energy equipment company, fell after announcing a $4.4B deal to acquire Howden, a gas equipment company. Chart industries introduced a new preferred share class to help finance the deal. Top absolute detractors for the period included Chart Industries (Industrials), R1 RCM (Healthcare), and Livent (Materials).

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, U.S. labor markets continue to demonstrate underlying strength, with unemployment levels still below 4% and year over year increases in hourly wages continuing to show growth in the 4% range. An upward surprise in the Job Openings and Labor Turnover (JOLTS) report in August 2023 has further fueled the sense of heightened labor bargaining power, evidenced in increasing union activism and resultant strikes such as those seen at the United Auto Workers and elsewhere. Observable strength in the economy caused the Fed at its most recent meeting to raise its projections for growth in 2023 and 2024 from prior levels, while also seeming to justify its current stance to maintain interest rates at higher levels.

The resumption of student debt servicing began October 1, 2023 and we believe this serves as an additional stressor to a U.S. consumer that has balanced solid wage growth with dwindling excess savings, record-low housing affordability, and the cumulative impact being felt in myriad ways in their daily lives from the higher rate environment. We

believe fourth quarter spending trends in the all-important holiday season will bear watching as this may provide a key indicator into consumer confidence and spending intentions heading into 2024.

The U.S. Congress avoided a government shutdown through the passing of a 45-day funding bill, but the risk of a shutdown in mid-November 2023 looms. The ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy has created uncertainty, not only in Republican leadership, but also in the fixed income market, with Treasury yields as of the end of the period exceeding those witnessed in the ’08-‘09 financial crisis. We believe heightened concern around elevated deficits might not yet lead to constructive discussion, compromise and resolution within Congress, but the increased risk is being met with an increased wariness in the bond market.

Outside of the U.S., the persistent war in Europe, a new conflict in the Middle East, and the continuing weakness in the Chinese economy remain top-of-mind concerns for the markets.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Industrials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to the Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Healthcare sectors, relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Manager Discussion

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of the Hartford Small Cap Value Fund returned -4.16%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned -9.93% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the -4.00% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose over the trailing twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023. Greater optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would begin to scale back its aggressive pace of interest rate increases, along with outsized short covering and hedging, helped to fuel a sharp rebound in stocks in November 2022 before risk sentiment waned in December 2022 amid recession fears, macroeconomic challenges, and downside earnings risks in the coming quarters. U.S. equity markets rallied in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential

and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence. Markedly stronger-than-forecast first-quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

During the period, returns varied by market capitalization. Large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, outperformed mid- and small-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and Russell 2000 Index, respectively. Small-cap equities underperformed mid-cap equities for the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index, respectively.

Seven of the eleven sectors in the Russell 2000 Value Index declined during the period, with the Healthcare (-30%), Financials (-20%), and Communication Services (-19%) sectors lagging the most. Conversely, the Energy (+13%), Industrials (+5%), and Consumer Discretionary (+3%) sectors were the top performers.

Security selection contributed positively while sector allocation slightly detracted from the Fund performance relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index over the period. Strong selection in the Financials, Information Technology, and Industrials sectors contributed positively to relative results. This was partially offset by weaker selection in the Materials and Real Estate sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, detracted from relative

performance during the period, due to the Fund’s underweight position in the Energy sector and overweight positions in the Financials and Consumer Staples sectors.

The largest contributors to relative performance over the period were positions in Greenhill (Financials), PROG Holdings (Financials), and InterDigital (Information Technology). Shares of U.S.-based investment bank Greenhill rose during the period after Mizuho Financial Group announced it will acquire Greenhill for $550 million. We eliminated the position in Greenhill by the end of the period. Shares of fintech company PROG Holdings rose as the company delivered quarterly results above consensus expectations throughout the period. The company's CEO has credited their active management of lease portfolios and customers' ability to adapt to a higher inflationary environment to be the primary catalysts to strong earnings in 2023. Shares of InterDigital, a wireless and video technology research and development company, rose during the period. The company reached license arbitration agreement with Samsung and won a cellular patent litigation against Lenovo in January 2023, driving exceptional first quarter 2023 financial results and providing a strong recurring revenue base.

The largest detractors from relative performance during the period were positions in PRA Group (Financials), First Interstate BancSystem (Financials), and Pacific Premier Bancorp (Financials). Shares of business services company PRA Group fell during the period after first-quarter 2023 results missed consensus estimates. Total cash collections declined 14.5% year-over-year, due primarily to a 30.2% decrease in U.S. call center and other collections, which was driven by lower levels of portfolio purchases. Shares of regional bank company First Interstate BancSystem fell as the company continuously failed to meet quarterly earnings expectations and lowered revenue guidance twice over the period. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in the first quarter of 2023 further adversely affected the market's confidence in First Interstate BancSystem's ability to weather the downturn. Pacific Premier Bancorp was also negatively affected by the regional bank failures.

Derivatives were not used in the Fund during the period and did not have impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

As of the end of the period, we believe indications continue to point to a more economically challenging period ahead, but as with all before it, this will again prove temporary in our view. We believe these economic adjustments present investment opportunities for the Fund.

At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight to the Consumer Discretionary, Financials, and Information Technology sectors, and most underweight to the Real Estate, Energy, and Materials sectors, relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

The Class A shares of The Hartford Small Company Fund returned -8.59%, before sales charges, for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2023, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned -7.63% for the same period. For the same period, the Class A shares of the Fund, before sales charges, underperformed the -6.21% average return of the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equity markets surged higher in the first quarter of 2023. The sudden collapse of two U.S. regional banks prompted swift policy actions by federal regulators, which helped stabilize liquidity and stem the potential for broader contagion. The turmoil generated more uncertainty about the U.S. economic outlook, as investors dealt to assess the impact of tightening credit conditions and the path of interest rates and inflation. As the period went on, a narrow group of mega-cap technology companies rallied as they benefited from investor optimism about their earnings potential and growth prospects and exuberance surrounding generative artificial intelligence. Markedly stronger-than-forecast first-quarter corporate earnings and improving earnings prospects bolstered market sentiment.

U.S. equities were later pressured by rising Treasury yields amid firming views that the Fed will keep interest rates elevated for a prolonged period. Even as household budgets were strained by tightening credit conditions and lofty prices, markets dialed back the probability of recession as cooling inflation, a solid job market, and resilient consumer spending increased the potential that the U.S. economy could achieve a “soft landing”.

Returns varied by market capitalization during the period. Large cap equities, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, outperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, and mid-cap equities, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index.

Narrowing the focus to small caps, growth led value by more than +200 basis points (bps) over the trailing year, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value and Growth Indices.

Eight of the eleven sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had negative returns during the period. The Consumer Staples (+10%) sector moved higher in the period, while Healthcare (-18%), Utilities (-18%), and Materials (-13%) sectors lagged the broader index.

During the period, the Fund underperformed relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Selection in the Information Technology, Materials, and Financials sectors detracted from relative performance, partially offset by stronger selection in the Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, and Real Estate sectors. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, also detracted from relative performance, primarily driven by the Fund’s underweight allocation to the Information Technology sector. This was partially offset by the Fund’s lack of exposure to the Utilities sector, which contributed positively.

The top detractors from relative performance during the period included Calix (Information Technology), R1 RCM (Healthcare), and not holding Super Micro Computer (Information Technology). Calix is a telecommunications company that offers cloud -based software systems and services to support the delivery of broadband services. The share price declined early in the period as supply chain challenges weighed on the company’s near-term operational efficiency. The Fund maintained an overweight position to end the period. R1 RCM, a provider of technology-driven solutions that enhance the patient experience and financial performance of Healthcare providers, saw its share price drop early in the period after reporting third-quarter earnings that fell short of expectations. The underperformance was driven by lower incentive fees, payor challenges, and reduced operating fees due to weak volumes. Given concerns about R1 RCM’s capacity to onboard new customers onto their revenue cycle management platform, we sold the position in the Fund during the period and reallocated assets to other opportunities with a more attractive risk-reward profile in our view. Shares of Super Micro Computer, which was not held, ended the period higher after the U.S.-based information technology solutions provider reported better-than-expected fiscal third-quarter results. Shares were further supported by market's optimistic outlook on artificial intelligence. Top absolute detractors from the Fund’s performance for the period included Calix (Information Technology) and R1 RCM (Healthcare).

By contrast, some of the top contributors to relative performance included elf Beauty (Consumer Staples), Manhattan Associates (Information Technology), and Celsius Holdings (Consumer Staples). elf Beauty’s share price rose after surpassing consensus estimates on

both the top and bottom-line metrics for four consecutive periods. Sales growth was driven by strong performance in the Cosmetics and Skincare segments across retail and e-commerce channels, while gross margin growth was supported by price increases and an improved product mix. The company also significantly raised its 2023 sales guidance and announced the acquisition of Naturium Skincare, a skincare company with a sizable presence at notable department stores. The share price of Manhattan Associates, a provider of warehouse management and supply chain software, rose in the period. The company posted solid results driven by strong retention rates and customer migration to the cloud. We trimmed the Fund’s position on strength during the period. Celsius Holdings concluded the period on a positive note, posting robust revenue growth for consecutive periods and exceeding consensus estimates in their May and August 2023 releases. The management team attributed this success to increased consumer awareness and broader availability of the drink. The Fund maintained overweight positions in all three holdings to end the period. Top absolute contributors to the Fund’s performance for the period included elf Beauty (Consumer Staples) and Celsius Holdings (Consumer Staples).

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

What is the outlook as of the end of the period?

Following a strong up market in the first half of 2023, U.S. equities fell during the third quarter amidst a broad market sell off, reflecting broadening concerns over the impact of high rates on the cost of capital for companies and the consumer, as well as the impact of the Fed’s “higher for longer” interest rate stance. Market moves continue to be driven by investors weighing the impact of persistent inflation, recession, and the Fed’s reaction function. We believe inconsistent macroeconomic indicators will drive market volatility and uncertainty around Fed policy in the near term but expect inflation to remain structurally higher for longer. In this environment, we are seeking balance by holding a mixture of emerging and re-emerging growth companies.

In this macro and factor driven environment, we are seeking balance by holding a mixture of high-quality capital compounders while looking for opportunities in emerging growth names with disruptive business models. We are keeping a close eye on competitive dynamics and evidence of impact from economic slowdown.

At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication Services sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to the Information Technology, Financials, and Utilities sectors, relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Important Risks

1.	Organization:
	The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (each, a "Company" and collectively, the "Companies") are each an open-end registered management investment company comprised of thirty-seven and fifteen series, respectively, as of October 31, 2023. Financial statements for the series of each Company listed below (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are included in this report.

The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.:

The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund (the "Capital Appreciation Fund")

Hartford Core Equity Fund (the "Core Equity Fund")

The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund (the "Dividend and Growth Fund")

The Hartford Equity Income Fund (the "Equity Income Fund")

The Hartford Healthcare Fund (the "Healthcare Fund")

The Hartford MidCap Fund (the "MidCap Fund")

The Hartford MidCap Value Fund (the "MidCap Value Fund")

Hartford Small Cap Value Fund (the "Small Cap Value Fund")

The Hartford Small Company Fund (the "Small Company Fund")

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.:

The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund (the "Growth Opportunities Fund")

The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Small Cap Growth Fund")

The assets of each Fund are separate, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, "Financial Services – Investment Companies".

Each Fund has registered for sale Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y and Class F shares. Class A shares of each Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares of the same Fund after eight years provided that the Fund or the financial intermediary has records verifying that the Class C shares have been held for at least eight years. Classes I, R3, R4, R5, R6, Y and F shares do not have a sales charge.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Determination of Net Asset Value – The net asset value ("NAV") of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the "NYSE Close") on each day that the Exchange is open ("Valuation Date"). If the Exchange is closed due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, each Fund may treat such day as a typical business day and accept purchase and redemption orders and calculate each Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The NAV of each class of each Fund's shares is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to the class of shares by the number of shares outstanding for that class. Information that becomes known to the Funds after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day.

Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements – For purposes of calculating the NAV of each class of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in the Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official close price or last reported trade price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers (including evaluated prices), or independent pricing services. Pricing vendors may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, general market conditions, news, and other factors and assumptions.

October 31, 2023

	With respect to a Fund's investments that do not have readily available market prices, each Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has designated Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the "Investment Manager" or "HFMC") as its valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (the "Valuation Designee").
	If market prices are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the Valuation Designee determines the fair value of the security or other instrument in good faith under policies and procedures approved by and under the supervision of the Board ("Valuation Procedures").
	The Valuation Designee has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures to the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee will consider all available relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value. The Valuation Designee reports fair value matters to the Audit Committee of the Board.
	Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments in which a Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund.
	Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) and non-exchange traded derivatives held by a Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
	Exchange-traded derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures, are valued at the last sale price determined by the exchange where such instruments principally trade as of the close of such exchange ("Exchange Close"). If a last sale price is not available, the value will be the mean of the most recently quoted bid and ask prices as of the Exchange Close. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the most recently quoted bid price as of the Exchange Close. Over-the-counter derivatives are normally valued based on prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
	Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using the prevailing spot currency exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities or other instruments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the Exchange is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of a Fund.
	Foreign currency contracts represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. Foreign currency contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates as provided by an independent pricing service on the Valuation Date.
	Shares of investment companies listed and traded on an exchange are valued in the same manner as any exchange-listed equity security. Investments in investment companies that are not listed or traded on an exchange ("Non-Traded Funds"), if any, are valued at the respective NAV of each Non-Traded Fund on the Valuation Date. Such Non-Traded Funds and listed investment companies may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.
	Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued using quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the respective financial instrument in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
	U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a fair value hierarchy for each major category of assets and liabilities. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 1 may include exchange traded instruments, such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, rights and warrants.

•

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar investments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 may include debt investments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments and which are valued using independent pricing services; foreign equities, which are principally traded on certain foreign markets and are adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order

to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close; senior floating rate interests, which are valued using an aggregate of dealer bids; short-term investments, which are valued at amortized cost; and swaps, which are valued based upon the terms of each swap contract.

•

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by limited or no market activity. Level 3 may include financial instruments whose values are determined using indicative market quotes or require significant management judgment or estimation. These unobservable valuation inputs may include estimates for current yields, maturity/duration, prepayment speed, and indicative market quotes for comparable investments along with other assumptions relating to credit quality, collateral value, complexity of the investment structure, general market conditions and liquidity. This category may include investments where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these investments are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these investments reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a reasonable representation of exit price.

For additional information, refer to the Fair Value Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follows each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

c)	Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Investments purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
	Dividend income from domestic securities is accrued on the ex-dividend date. In general, dividend income from foreign securities is recorded on the ex-date; however, dividend notifications in certain foreign jurisdictions may not be available in a timely manner and as a result, a Fund will record the dividend as soon as the relevant details (i.e., rate per share, payment date, shareholders of record, etc.) are publicly available.
	Interest income, including amortization of premium, accretion of discounts and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis.
	The Capital Appreciation Fund and the Dividend and Growth Fund filed claims to recover taxes withheld on prior year reclaims (EU reclaims) related to French taxes withheld on dividend income from 2009, 2010 and 2011. The Capital Appreciation Fund and the Dividend and Growth Fund received EU reclaims with related interest in the amount of $1,888,107 and $1,792,505, respectively, which is recorded on the Statement of Operations as Foreign withholding tax reclaims.

Please refer to Note 8 for Securities Lending information.

d)	Taxes – A Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which such Fund invests. A Fund may also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends and interest from securities in which a Fund invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and foreign tax expense is included on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a reduction to net investment income or net realized or unrealized gain (loss) on investments in these securities, if applicable.
e)	Foreign Currency Transactions – Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the Valuation Date. Purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions.
	A Fund does not isolate that portion of portfolio investment valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments held. Exchange rate fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements.
	Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

Joint Trading Account – A Fund may invest cash balances into a joint trading account that may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements.

Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders – Orders for each class of each Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the shareholders. The NAV of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of business on each business day of the Exchange (see Note 2(a)). The NAV is determined separately for each class of shares of a Fund by dividing the Fund's net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Each class of shares offered by a Fund

	has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets of the class of the Fund. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of shares of each Fund.
	Orders for the purchase of a Fund's shares received prior to the close of the Exchange on any day the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Funds are not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.
	Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the respective Company's Board of Directors. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of each Fund, except Dividend and Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund, is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. The policy of Dividend and Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly and realized gains, if any, at least once a year.
	Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing (see Federal Income Taxes: Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings and Reclassification of Capital Accounts notes).

3.	Securities and Other Investments:

Restricted Securities – Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if applicable, is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Repurchase Agreements – A repurchase agreement is an agreement between two parties whereby one party sells the other a security at a specified price with a commitment to repurchase the security later at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment. Each Fund is permitted to enter into fully collateralized repurchase agreements. Each Company's Board of Directors has delegated to the sub-adviser(s), as applicable, the responsibility of evaluating the creditworthiness of the banks and securities dealers with which the Funds will engage in repurchase agreements. The sub-adviser(s) will monitor such transactions to ensure that the value of underlying collateral will be at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation as required by the valuation provision of the repurchase agreement, including the accrued interest. Repurchase agreements carry the risk that the market value of the securities declines below the repurchase price. A Fund could also lose money if it is unable to recover the securities and the value of any collateral held. In the event the borrower commences bankruptcy proceedings, a court may characterize the transaction as a loan. If a Fund has not perfected a security interest in the underlying collateral, the Fund may be required to return the underlying collateral to the borrower’s estate and be treated as an unsecured creditor. As an unsecured creditor, the Fund could lose some or all of the principal and interest involved in the transaction. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for repurchase agreements as of October 31, 2023.

Financial Derivative Instruments:

The following disclosures contain information on the derivative instruments used by a Fund during the period, the credit-risk-related contingent features in certain derivative instruments, and how such derivative instruments affect the financial position and results of operations of the applicable Fund. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statements of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in the following Additional Derivative Instrument Information footnote. The derivative instruments outstanding as of period-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, if applicable. The amounts of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

Futures Contracts – A Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date. A Fund may use futures contracts to manage risk or obtain exposure to the investment markets, commodities, or movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the investments held by a Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with a futures commission merchant ("FCM") an amount of cash or U.S. Government or Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value ("variation margin") is paid or received by a Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Capital Appreciation Fund had used futures contracts.

c)	Balance Sheet Offsetting Information – Set forth below are tables which disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and instruments and transactions that are subject to a master netting arrangement, as well as amounts related to margin, reflected as financial collateral (including cash collateral), held at clearing brokers, counterparties and a Fund's custodian. The master netting arrangements allow the clearing brokers to net any collateral held in or on behalf of a Fund, or liabilities or payment obligations of the clearing brokers to a Fund, against any liabilities or payment obligations of a Fund to the clearing brokers. A Fund is required to deposit financial collateral (including cash collateral) at the Fund's custodian on behalf of clearing brokers and counterparties to continually meet the original and maintenance requirements established by the clearing brokers and counterparties. Such requirements are specific to the respective clearing broker or counterparty. Certain master netting arrangements may not be enforceable in a bankruptcy.
	The following tables present a Fund's derivative assets and liabilities, presented on a gross basis as no amounts are netted within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement or similar agreement ("MNA") and net of the related collateral received/pledged by a Fund as of October 31, 2023:

5.	Principal Risks:
	A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.
	The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of equity securities may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
	A widespread health crisis, such as a global pandemic, could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions or restrictions and closures of securities exchanges and businesses, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and adversely impact Fund performance. The outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, negatively affected the worldwide economy, created supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and impacted the financial health of individual companies and the market in significant and unforeseen ways. The future impact of COVID-19, if any, remains unclear. The effects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may continue to have, a significant negative impact on the performance of certain investments, including exacerbating other pre-existing political, social and economic risks.
	The banking sector has recently been subject to increased market volatility. As a result, a Fund’s investments in the banking sector may be subject to increased volatility risk.
	Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. Non-U.S. issuers may also be affected by political, social, economic or diplomatic developments in a foreign country or region or the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions). These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.
	Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. A Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for the loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund that lends its holdings.

6.	Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders each year. Each Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years, if applicable, and intends to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2023. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Net Investment Income (Loss), Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Distributions – Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies ("PFICs"), Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"), RICs, certain derivatives and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by each Fund.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts – The Funds may record reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and tax accounting for such items as earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares, net operating loss, in-kind trade activity, and adjustments to prior year accumulated balances. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on the current and future earnings distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Funds' distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from distributable earnings or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist.

The fund accounting fee for each Fund is equal to the greater of: (A) the sum of (i) the sub-accounting fee payable by HFMC with respect to the Fund; (ii) the fee payable for tax preparation services for the Fund; and (iii) the amount of expenses that HFMC allocates for providing the fund accounting services to the Fund; plus a target profit margin; or (B) $40,000 per year; provided, however, that to the extent the annual amount of the fund accounting fee exceeds 0.02% of the Fund’s average net assets (calculated during its current fiscal year), HFMC shall waive such portion of the fund accounting fee.

As of October 31, 2023, HFMC contractually agreed to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses), until February 29, 2024 (unless the applicable Board of Directors approves its earlier termination) as follows for the following Fund:

Pursuant to the Class A Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution financing activities and shareholder account servicing activities. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder servicing expenses and/or distribution expenses. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities.

Any 12b-1 fees attributable to assets held in an account held directly with the Funds’ transfer agent for which there is not a third-party listed as the broker-dealer of record (or HFD does not otherwise have a payment obligation) are generally reimbursed to the applicable share class of the applicable Fund. Such amounts are reflected as "Distribution fee reimbursements" on the Statements of Operations.

Securities Lending:

Each Company has entered into a securities lending agency agreement ("lending agreement") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). A Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one-third (33 1/3%) of the value of its total assets. A Fund may lend portfolio securities, provided that the borrower provides collateral that is maintained in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral is invested for the benefit of a Fund by the Fund’s lending agent pursuant to collateral investment guidelines. The collateral is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. The contractual maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous.

	A Fund is subject to certain risks while its securities are on loan, including the following: (i) the risk that the borrower defaults on the loan and the collateral is inadequate to cover the Fund’s loss; (ii) the risk that the earnings on the collateral invested are not sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan; (iii) the Fund could 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; (iv) the risk that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale, which may in turn place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities; (v) the risk that return of loaned securities could be delayed and interfere with portfolio management decisions; (vi) the risk that any efforts to restrict or recall the securities for purposes of voting may not be effective; and (vii) operational risks (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process especially so in certain international markets). These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.
	A Fund retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the applicable Fund). Upon termination of a loan, a Fund is required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers.
	The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Investment Income from securities lending. A Fund also receives payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Investment Income from dividends or interest, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
	The following table presents for each Fund that lends its portfolio securities the market value of the securities on loan and the cash and non-cash collateral posted by the borrower as of October 31, 2023.

	If a Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities, either directly or indirectly, of a particular issuer, the 1940 Act deems such an issuer to be an "affiliate" of the Fund.

^*	Includes In-Kind Redemptions (see Note 13)
⁽¹⁾	Class R6 of the MidCap Value Fund commenced operations on June 22, 2022.

13.	Redemption In-Kind:
	In certain circumstances, a Fund may distribute portfolio securities as payment for redemption of Fund shares (redemption in-kind). For financial reporting purposes, a Fund will recognize a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities; a Fund will recognize a loss if the cost exceeds value. Gains and losses realized on redemptions in-kind are not recognized for tax purposes, and are re-classified from realized gain (loss) to paid-in-capital.
	During the year ended October 31, 2023, 8,428,087 and 5,854,664 shares of the Dividend and Growth Fund and Growth Opportunities Fund, respectively, were redeemed in-kind. A net realized gain (loss) of ($7,936,735) and ($32,684,108) on investments for the Dividend and Growth Fund and Growth Opportunities Fund, respectively, delivered through the in-kind redemption is included in realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

14.

Line of Credit:

Each Fund participates in a committed line of credit pursuant to a credit agreement dated March 2, 2023. Each Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds (together with certain other Hartford Funds) may borrow up to $350 million in the aggregate, subject to asset coverage and other limitations specified in the credit agreement. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also charges certain fees, such as a commitment fee. From November 1, 2022 through March 2, 2023, the Funds (together with certain other Hartford Funds) had a similar agreement that enabled them to participate in a $350 million committed line of credit. The fees incurred by the Funds in connection with the committed lines of credit during the period appear in the Statements of Operations under "Other expenses." During and as of the year ended October 31, 2023, none of the Funds had borrowings under these facilities.

15.

Indemnifications:

Under each Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland General Corporation Law and federal securities laws. In addition, each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, each Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

16.

Regulatory Update

17.	Subsequent Events:
	In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended October 31, 2023, events and transactions subsequent to October 31, 2023, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Hartford Core Equity Fund, The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, The Hartford Equity Income Fund, The Hartford Healthcare Fund, The Hartford MidCap Fund, The Hartford MidCap Value Fund, Hartford Small Cap Value Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund (nine of the funds constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc.) and The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund, and The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund (two of the funds constituting The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.)

The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to October 31, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Operation of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

This section describes the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRM Program”) established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The LRM Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Rule generally defines liquidity risk as the risk that a Fund could not meet its obligation to redeem shares without significant dilution of the non-redeeming investors’ interests in the Fund. The Boards of Directors (“Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. have appointed Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) to serve as the administrator of the LRM Program with respect to each of the Funds, subject to the oversight of the Board. In order to efficiently and effectively administer the LRM Program, HFMC established a Liquidity Risk Oversight Committee.

•	the operation of the LRM Program (and related policies and procedures utilized in connection with management of the Funds’ liquidity risk);
•	an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the LRM Program’s (and related policies and procedures’) implementation;
•	the operation, and assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness, of each Fund’s HLIM;
•	whether the third-party liquidity vendor’s (“LRM Program Vendor”) processes for determining preliminary liquidity classifications, including the particular methodologies or factors used and metrics analyzed by the LRM Program Vendor, are sufficient under the Liquidity Rule and appropriate in light of each Fund’s specific circumstances; and
•	any material changes to the LRM Program.

(each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At their meeting held on September 6-7, 2023, the Boards of Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (“HMF”) and The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (“HMF II”), including the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment management agreement by and between Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) and each of HMF, on behalf of each of The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, Hartford Core Equity Fund, The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, The Hartford Equity Income Fund, The Hartford MidCap Fund, The Hartford MidCap Value Fund, and Hartford Small Cap Value Fund and HMF II, on behalf of each of The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund and The Hartford Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Management Agreement”); (ii) the continuation of a separate investment management agreement by and between HFMC and HMF, on behalf of each of The Hartford Healthcare Fund and The Hartford Small Company Fund (the “2013 Investment Management Agreement” and together with the Management Agreement, the “Management Agreements”); and (iii) the continuation of investment sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the Management Agreements, the “Agreements”) between HFMC and each Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Sub-adviser” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”), with respect to each Fund.

The Independent Directors, advised by independent legal counsel throughout the evaluation process, engaged service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, as applicable. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees, total expense ratios and investment performance compared to those of an appropriate group of investment companies selected by Broadridge. The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees, total expense ratios and investment performance. In addition, the Consultant previously reviewed the profitability methodologies utilized by HFMC in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreements.

Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements. Throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds and the Independent Directors were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately with independent legal counsel and the Consultant on June 6, 2023 and in executive session on several occasions to consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations and to discuss the materials presented and other matters deemed relevant to their consideration of the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the June 6, 2023 and June 13-14, 2023 meetings, the Independent Directors presented HFMC and its affiliates with requests for additional information on certain topics. HFMC responded to these requests with additional information in connection with the September 6-7, 2023 meeting. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the continuation of the Agreements is provided below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisers

With respect to HFMC, the Board noted that, under the Management Agreements, HFMC is responsible for the management of the Funds, including oversight of fund operations and service providers, and the provision of investment advisory and administrative services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Sub-adviser. In this regard, the Board evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by HFMC that were not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-adviser. The Board considered HFMC’s ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance, including its quarterly reviews of each of the Hartford funds,semi-annual meetings with the leaders of each Fund’s portfolio management team, and ongoing oversight of the Hartford funds’ portfolio managers. The Board noted that HFMC has demonstrated a record of initiating changes to the portfolio management and/or investment strategies of the Hartford funds when warranted. The Board considered HFMC’s periodic due diligence reviews of the Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of the Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations by the Sub-adviser, and approach to risk management with respect to the Funds. The Board considered HFMC’s oversight of the securities lending program for the Funds that engage in securities lending and noted the income earned by the Funds that participate in such program. The Board also considered HFMC’s day-to-day oversight of each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations, noting that regulatory and other developments had over time led to an increase in the scope of HFMC’s oversight in this regard. Moreover, the Board considered HFMC’s oversight of potential conflicts of interest between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts, if any, managed by the Funds’ portfolio management personnel.

With respect to the Sub-adviser, which provides certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, the Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience, including with respect to environmental, social and/or governance

127

(ESG) investing, to the extent applicable. The Board considered the experience of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the number of accounts managed by the portfolio manager(s), and the Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio manager(s). The Board also considered the Sub-adviser’s succession planning practices to ensure continuity of portfolio management services provided to the Funds and HFMC’s oversight of these practices.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by HFMC and the Sub-adviser.

Performance of each Fund and the Advisers

The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In this regard, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over different time periods and evaluated HFMC’s analysis of each Fund’s performance for these time periods. The Board considered information and materials provided to the Board by the Advisers concerning Fund performance, as well as information from Broadridge comparing the investment performance of each Fund to an appropriate universe of peer funds. The Board noted that while it found the comparative data provided by Broadridge generally useful in evaluating a Hartford fund’s investment performance, the Board recognized the limitations of such data, including that notable differences may exist between a Hartford fund and its peers. For details regarding each Fund’s performance, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.

The Board considered the detailed investment analytics reports provided by HFMC’s Investment Advisory Group throughout the year, including in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. These reports included, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance compared to one or more appropriate benchmarks and relevant groups or categories of peer funds, various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance, and commentary on the effect of current and recent market conditions. The Board also noted that, for The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, the Fund utilizes a multiple sleeve structure whereby each sleeve uses a different investment style and considered the performance attributions of the underlying portfolio managers. The Board considered the Advisers’ work with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of each Fund at periodic meetings throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. The Board considered that the Investment Committee, in its evaluation of investment performance at meetings throughout the year, focused particular attention on information indicating less favorable performance of certain Hartford funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Advisers the reasons for such performance as well as any specific actions that the Advisers had taken, or had agreed to take, to seek to enhance Fund investment performance and the results of those actions. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it had continued confidence in HFMC’s and the Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Funds.

Costs of the Services and Profitability of the Advisers

The Board reviewed information regarding HFMC’s cost to provide investment management and related services to each Fund and HFMC’s profitability, both overall and for each Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HFMC and its affiliates from all services provided to each Fund and all aspects of their relationship with the Fund, including information regarding profitability trends over time and information provided by Broadridge analyzing the profitability of investment managers to other fund complexes. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-adviser. The Board considered representations from HFMC and the Sub-adviser that the Sub-adviser’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a Fund-by-Fund basis and that the sub-advisory fees are paid by HFMC and not the Funds. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Sub-adviser is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

The Board considered that the Consultant had previously reviewed the methodologies and estimates used by HFMC in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreements, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. The Board noted that the Consultant previously reported that such process is reasonable, sound and consistent with common industry practice. The Board noted that HFMC’s process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is consistent with the process previously reviewed by the Consultant.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits realized by HFMC and its affiliates from their relationships with each Fund were not excessive.

Comparison of Fees and Services Provided by the Advisers

The Board considered comparative information with respect to the services rendered to and the management fees to be paid by each Fund to HFMC and the total expense ratios of the Fund. The Board also considered comparative information with respect to the sub-advisory fees to be paid by HFMC to the Sub-adviser with respect to each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HFMC and the Sub-adviser relating to the management and sub-advisory fees, including the sub-advisory fee schedule for each Fund and the amount of the management fee retained by HFMC, and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed information from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees and total expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge. The Board considered such information from Broadridge in consultation with the Consultant. For details regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.

The Board also considered that HFMC provides nondiscretionary investment advisory services to model portfolios that pursue investment objectives and investment strategies similar to those of the Hartford Core Equity Fund and The Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund. The Board also received information regarding fees charged by the Sub-adviser to any other clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds, including any institutional separate account clients and registered fund clients for which the Sub-adviser serves as either primary investment adviser or sub-adviser. The Board considered the explanations provided by the Sub-adviser about any differences between the Sub-adviser’s services to the Funds and the services the Sub-adviser provides to other types of clients. In this regard, the Board reviewed information about the generally broader scope of services and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing registered funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-registered fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered information regarding economies of scale, including the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the management fee schedule for each Fund, if any, which reduce fee rates as the Fund’s assets grow over time. The Board recognized that a Fund with assets beyond the highest breakpoint level will continue to benefit from economies of scale because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee resulting in lower effective management fee rates. The Board also recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a breakpoint at a lower asset level provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. The Board considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce a Fund’s expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund’s assets decline. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates, pricing a Fund to scale at inception, and making additional investments intended to enhance services available to shareholders are other means of sharing anticipated or potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses of the Hartford funds in recent years, which has resulted in benefits being realized by shareholders. The Board also noted that, for Hartford Small Cap Value Fund, the Fund’s current low asset levels have kept the Fund from fully realizing the benefits of anticipated or potential economies of scale.

Other Benefits

The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds.

The Board noted that HFMC receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Funds, and the Board considered information on the profitability to HFMC from providing such services to the Funds. The Board also considered that each Fund pays a transfer agency fee to Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), an affiliate of HFMC, equal to the lesser of: (i) the actual costs incurred by HASCO in connection with the provisions of transfer agency services, including payments made to sub-transfer agents, plus a reasonable target profit margin; or (ii) a specified amount as set forth in the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement by and between HMF and HMF II, on behalf of their respective Funds, and HASCO. The Board reviewed information about the profitability to HASCO of the Funds’ transfer agency function. The Board considered information provided by HFMC indicating that the transfer agency fees charged by HASCO to the Funds were fair and reasonable based on available industry data about fees charged by transfer agents to other mutual funds. The Board also noted that HFMC and HASCO had delegated certain fund accounting services and transfer agency services, respectively, to external service providers, subject to oversight.

The Board considered the benefits, if any, to the Sub-adviser from any use of a Fund’s brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research.

Fund-by-Fund Factors

For purposes of evaluating a Fund’s performance, the Board considered the Fund’s performance relative to similarly managed funds and the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark. In particular, the Board considered the Fund’s performance of its Class A shares (net of all fees and expenses), as of March 31, 2023, and compared that performance to the Fund’s peer universe, which includes all funds within the same classification or category, as determined by Broadridge. The Board considered the Fund’s performance relative to its peer universe by evaluating its quintile ranking, with the 1st quintile representing the top performing funds within a peer universe and the 5th quintile representing the lowest performing funds. For purposes of evaluating the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Board considered the Fund’s performance of its Class I shares (net of all fees and expenses) as of March 31, 2023. The Board considered Fund performance to be “in line with” a Fund’s benchmark where it was 50 basis points above or below the benchmark return. With respect to fees and expenses, the Board considered the Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee, and total operating expenses of its Class A shares, as compared to the Fund’s expense peer group, which includes a group of similarly sized funds selected by Broadridge.

The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund

•	The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was in the 3rd quintile versus its peer universe for the 1- and 5-year periods and the 4th quintile for the 3-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund’s performance was above its benchmark for the 1-year period and below its benchmark for the 3- and 5-year periods.
•	The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee and actual management fee were in the 5th quintile of its expense group and its total expenses were in the 4th quintile.
