HARTFORD SCHRODERS GLOBAL STRATEGIC BOND FUND CLASS R4 (HSBSX) Exchange: NMFQS

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing principally in fixed income securities of issuers located anywhere in the world that the Fund’s sub-advisers, Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”) and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.,” together with SIMNA, the “Sub-Advisers”), believe offer the potential for income, capital appreciation, or both. Fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest may be obligations of governments or government agencies or instrumentalities, supra-national issuers, or corporate issuers. Fixed income securities may pay fixed, variable, or floating interest rates and may include asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, convertible securities, inflation-indexed bonds, bank loans, loan participations, loan assignments, municipal securities, and other securities bearing fixed or variable interest rates of any maturity. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. The Fund may seek to hedge against adverse changes in the values of the currencies in which its investments are denominated, although it will not be required to do so. The Fund may invest in securities rated in any rating category and in unrated securities, and it may invest any portion of its assets in securities rated below investment grade or in unrated securities considered by the Fund’s Sub-Advisers to be of comparable quality (so-called “junk bonds”). In addition, the Fund may invest a majority of its assets in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund may invest in “Rule 144A” securities, which are privately placed, restricted securities that may only be resold under certain circumstances to other qualified institutional buyers. The Sub-Advisers will allocate the Fund’s assets among issuers, types of securities, industries, interest rates, and geographical regions based on an assessment of the relative values and the risks and rewards these potential investments present. The allocation of the Fund’s assets to different sectors and issuers will change over time, sometimes rapidly, and the Fund may invest without limit in a single sector or a small number of sectors of the fixed income universe. The average duration of the Fund will vary based on the Sub-Advisers’ assessment of market and economic factors and other considerations. The portfolio managers may allocate a portion of the Fund's assets to specialists at the Sub-Advisers who drive individual sector and security selection strategies. The investment processes used by the Fund may result in frequent trading of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The Sub-Advisers may sell an investment for the Fund if they believe that the investment no longer offers attractive potential future returns compared to other investment opportunities or that it presents undesirable risks, or in an attempt to limit losses. The Sub-Advisers may also allocate assets in cash and cash equivalents strategically, potentially building the Fund’s cash position when the Sub-Advisers believe that attractive investments for the Fund are not available or when the Sub-Advisers believe that a relatively large cash position will help ensure that the Fund will be able to invest in attractive new opportunities as they become available. The Sub-Advisers may use derivatives actively in managing the Fund, including without limitation, foreign currency exchange transactions (including currency futures, forwards, and option transactions), swap contracts (including interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps), futures contracts and options on futures. The Fund may (but will not be required to) enter into any of these transactions to generate income; replicate certain direct investments; take a net long or short position in certain investments or markets; hedge various risks such as credit risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, and liquidity risk (although the Fund is not required to enter into hedging transactions); provide liquidity in the Fund; equitize cash; minimize transaction costs; adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate risk, currency risk, or other risk; and for asset and sector allocation purposes. The Fund may invest in warrants or options to purchase debt securities or equity securities. The Fund may implement short positions, including through the use of derivative instruments, such as swaps or futures, or through short sales of instruments that are eligible investments for the Fund. For example, the Fund may enter into a futures contract pursuant to which it agrees to sell an asset (that it does not currently own) at a specified price in the future in anticipation that the asset’s value will decrease between the time the position is established and the agreed date of sale. The Fund will normally hold investments in a number of different countries around the world, including emerging markets and the United States. Under normal circumstances, at least 40% (and normally not less than 30%) of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in or exposed to foreign securities or derivative instruments with exposure to foreign securities of at least three different countries outside the United States. Investments are deemed to be “foreign” if: (a) an issuer’s domicile or location of headquarters is in a foreign country; (b) an issuer derives a significant proportion (at least 50%) of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in a foreign country or has at least 50% of its assets situated in a foreign country; (c) the principal trading market for a security is located in a foreign country; or (d) it is a foreign currency. The Fund’s investments in derivative securities, exchange-tradedfunds and exchange traded notes will be considered to be “foreign” if the underlying assets represented by the investment are determined to be foreign using the foregoing criteria. The Fund is a non-diversified mutual fund, which means that it may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may trade investments actively.
