(3)
Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the Investment Manager) has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain total annual fund operating expenses as follows: 1.22% (Class A), 1.92% (Class B), 1.92% (Class C), 1.00% (Class I), 1.45% (Class R3), 1.15% (Class R4), 0.85% (Class R5) and 0.80% (Class Y).

In addition, Hartford Administrative Services Company (HASCO), the Funds transfer agent, has contractually agreed to reimburse any portion of the transfer agency fees over 0.30% of the average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. The HASCO contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 28, 2015, and shall renew automatically for one-year terms thereafter unless HASCO provides

EXAMPLE.
The examples below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that:
·
Your investment has a 5% return each year
·
The Funds operating expenses remain the same
·
You reinvest all dividends and distributions
·
You pay any deferred sales charge due for the applicable period.
Your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions, for every $10,000 invested, you would pay the following expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the examples, affect the Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 81% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies covering a broad range of industries and market capitalizations, focusing on securities that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington Management), believes are
3
undervalued and have the potential for appreciation. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities.
The Funds investment strategy employs a contrarian approach to stock selection, favoring securities that appear to be undervalued in the marketplace. The approach uses extensive research to identify stocks of companies whose fundamentals are not adequately reflected in the market price of their securities.
MAIN RISKS.
The primary risks of investing in the Fund are described below. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money as a result of your investment.
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal. For more information regarding risks and investment matters please see Additional Information Regarding Risks and Investment Strategies in the Funds statutory prospectus.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Securities may decline in value due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies or to general market and economic movements and trends.
Value Orientation Risk
- Using a value orientation to select investments involves special risks, particularly if it is used as part of a contrarian approach to evaluating issuers. Overlooked or otherwise undervalued securities entail a significant risk of never attaining their potential value. Also, the value investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
Foreign Investments Risk
Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions, may affect the value of the Funds investments in foreign securities. Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Funds foreign investments.
Mid Cap and Small Cap Stock Risk
- Investments in small capitalization and mid capitalization companies involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Many of these companies are young and have limited operating or business history. These securities may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face greater business risks.
Investment Strategy Risk
- The risk that, if the sub-advisers investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. There is no guarantee that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
4
The Fund is subject to certain other risks, which are described in the Funds statutory prospectus.
PAST PERFORMANCE.
The performance information below indicates the risks of investing in the Fund. Keep in mind that past performance does not indicate future results. Updated performance information is available at www.hartfordfunds.com.
The returns:
·
Assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions
·
Would be lower if the Funds operating expenses had not been limited.
The bar chart:
·
Shows how the Funds total return has varied from year to year
·
Does not include the effect of sales charges. If sales charges were reflected in the bar chart, returns would have been lower
·
Shows the returns of the Funds Class A shares. Because all of the Funds shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, returns for the Funds other classes differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.
Total returns by calendar year (excludes sales charges)
Highest/Lowest quarterly results during the periods shown in the bar chart were:
Highest
25.71% (2nd quarter, 2009)
Lowest
-20.89% (4th quarter, 2008)
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS.
The table below shows returns for the Fund over time compared to those of two broad-based market indices. After-tax returns, which are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes, are shown only for Class A shares and will vary for other classes. Returns prior to the inception date of certain classes of shares may reflect returns of another class of shares. For more information regarding returns see the Performance Notes section in the Funds statutory prospectus.
Actual after-tax returns, which depend on an investors particular tax situation, may differ from those shown and are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
