About HBIOX
The Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund Class IB is an international equity mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the stocks of companies outside the United States. Managed with the support of Wellington Management, the fund typically allocates at least 65% of its net assets to foreign equity securities, including non-dollar-denominated stocks. Its portfolio consists of a diversified selection of companies with improving or sustainable returns, spanning major sectors such as information technology, financials, health care, industrials, and consumer discretionary. As of the end of March 2024, the fund held investments in approximately 78 companies, with a strong focus on developed and emerging international markets. The fund targets the foreign large blend category, offering exposure to a broad basket of non-U.S. large-cap growth and value equities. With nearly all assets invested in foreign stocks, the fund plays a significant role in diversifying U.S.-centered portfolios, aiming to capture growth opportunities across global markets while remaining subject to the risks and volatility associated with international investing.
