      Hartford Small Company Fund   
      Share Class - C (HSMCX)

      On September 13, 2024, the Fund’s Class C shares performed a reverse stock split. The Fund’s Class C reverse stock split reduced the number of outstanding shares and proportionately increased the net asset value (“NAV”) per share with respect to only Class C shares of the Fund. However, the reverse stock split did not impact a shareholder’s total dollar value of an investment in Class C shares of the Fund.

      Objective

      Seeks growth of capital.

      Overview

      A small-cap fund with a dual focus on emerging and reemerging growth companies.

      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. • Small-cap securities can have greater risks, including liquidity risk, 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. • Financially material environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) characteristics are one of several factors that may be considered and as a result, the investment process may not work as intended.
