HARTFORD FIXED INCOME FUNDS PROSPECTUS
DATED FEBRUARY 28, 2025, AS SUPPLEMENTED TO DATE
This Supplement contains new and additional information and should be read in connection with your Statutory Prospectus.
(1) Effective immediately, under the heading “The Hartford Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund Summary Section – Principal Risks” in the above referenced Statutory Prospectus, the following risk is added after “Currency Risk”:
China Investments Risk – China is an emerging market and has demonstrated significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets. Investments in Chinese securities, subject the Fund to risks specific to China. These risks include: (i) the risk of more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in liquidity risk, price volatility, greater market execution risk, and valuation risk; (ii) the risk of currency fluctuations, currency non-convertibility, currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; (iii) the risk of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets; (iv) the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; (v) the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; (vi) the risk of limitations on the use of brokers; (vii) the risk of interest rate fluctuations and higher rates of inflation; (viii) the risk that the U.S. government or other governments may sanction Chinese issuers or otherwise prohibit U.S. persons (such as the Fund) from investing in certain Chinese issuers; and (ix) the risk of market volatility caused by any potential regional or territorial conflicts, including military conflicts, or natural or other disasters. Trading in Chinese government bonds and other Chinese-based debt instruments through Bond Connect is subject to certain restrictions and risks. Bonds listed on Bond Connect may lose purchase eligibility, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Trading through Bond Connect is subject to order, clearance, and settlement procedures that may continue to develop as the program matures. Any changes in laws, regulations and policies applicable to Bond Connect may affect bond prices. These risks are heightened as the Bond Connect program is relatively new and may be subject to further interpretation and guidance. As a result of different legal standards, the Fund faces the risk of being unable to enforce its rights with respect to holdings in Chinese securities and the information about the Chinese securities in which the Fund invests may be less reliable or complete.
