About HAHRX
Hartford High Yield Fund Class R3 is a mutual fund designed to deliver high current income and long-term total return through investments primarily in non-investment grade, high-yield bonds. It normally allocates at least 80% of its assets, and potentially up to 100%, to these lower-rated securities, often referred to as junk bonds, which offer higher yields to compensate for increased credit risk. Sub-advised by Wellington Management, the fund employs a disciplined process emphasizing macroeconomic conditions and issuers' free cash flow generation, supported by collaborative global research across asset classes. Key characteristics include a net asset value around 7.19, total assets of approximately 467.7 million, an expense ratio of 1.27%, and a 0.50% distribution and service fee under a Rule 12b-1 plan. Tailored for retirement plans such as 401(k)s and 457 plans through omnibus accounts, it features monthly dividend distributions, an effective duration of about 2.77 years, and a diversified portfolio of around 352 holdings spanning sectors like consumer cyclical, financial institutions, communications, and energy. With a yield to worst near 6.21%, it plays a significant role in fixed-income markets by providing income-oriented exposure to high-yield debt for institutional retirement investors.
