About HAHCX
Hartford High Yield Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to deliver high current income alongside long-term total return through investments primarily in high yield bonds. It allocates at least 80% and up to 100% of its assets to non-investment grade securities, often called junk bonds, which offer higher yields to compensate for elevated credit risk. Sub-advised by Wellington Management, the fund employs a disciplined process emphasizing macroeconomic conditions and issuers' free cash flow generation, bolstered by collaborative global research across asset classes. Key characteristics include a portfolio of 352 holdings, monthly dividend frequency, a yield to worst of 6.21%, and an effective duration of 2.77 years. Sector allocations feature significant exposure to consumer cyclical (around 20%), financial institutions (15%), and communications (15%), with top holdings like CCO Holdings LLC and Community Health Systems. This fund plays a vital role in fixed income markets by providing income-oriented investors access to below-investment-grade debt across diverse industries, supported by a total expense ratio of 1.73%.
