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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 46% of the average value of its portfolio.

 

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the equity securities of health care-related companies worldwide as selected by the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington Management”).  The focus of the Fund’s investment process is stock selection through fundamental analysis.  The Fund takes a broad approach to investing in the health care sector.  It may invest in health-related companies, including companies in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical delivery, medical products, medical services, managed health care, health information services and emerging health-related subsectors.  The Fund’s assets will be allocated across the major subsectors of the health care sector, with some

representation typically maintained in each major subsector.  The Fund will invest in securities of issuers located in a number of different countries throughout the world, one of which may be the United States; however, the Fund has no limit on the amount of assets that may be invested in each country.  The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization.  The Fund will be close to fully invested; cash balances normally will not exceed 10% of net assets.

 

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 Fund’s 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.

 

Health Care-Related Sector Risk — The Fund’s focus on the health care-related sector increases the Fund’s exposure to the risks associated with that sector, including changes in laws or regulations, lawsuits and regulatory proceedings, patent considerations, intense competition and rapid technological change and the potential for obsolescence.

 

Industry Concentration Risk - The risk that because the Fund’s investments are often focused in a small number of business sectors, the Fund may be exposed to greater liquidity risk and increased  risk of loss should adverse economic developments occur in one of those sectors.

 

Investment Strategy Risk - The risk that, if the sub-adviser’s investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money.  There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

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 Fund’s investments in foreign securities.  Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Fund’s foreign investments.

 

Emerging Markets Risk - The risks related to investing in foreign securities are generally greater with respect to securities of companies that conduct their principal business activities in emerging markets or whose securities are traded principally on exchanges in emerging markets.  The risks of investing in emerging markets include risks of illiquidity, increased price volatility, smaller market capitalizations, less government regulation, less extensive and less frequent

accounting, financial and other reporting requirements, risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody and substantial economic and political disruptions.

 

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.

 

The Fund is subject to certain other risks, which are described in the Fund’s 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 Fund’s operating expenses had not been limited.

 

The bar chart:

 

·                   Shows how the Fund’s 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 Fund’s Class A shares.  Because all of the Fund’s shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, returns for the Fund’s other classes differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.

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 Fund’s prospectus.

 

Actual after-tax returns, which depend on an investor’s 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.
