About HBLTX
Hartford Balanced Income Fund Class R5 is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with a steady stream of current income, while also seeking moderate growth of capital as a secondary objective. The fund takes a balanced approach, generally allocating approximately 45% of its assets to equity securities and 55% to fixed income investments, with these proportions varying within a narrow ±5% range to maintain stability and diversification. The equity portion focuses primarily on common stocks of companies known for above-average dividends or with strong potential for dividend growth. Meanwhile, up to 20% of the fixed income allocation can be invested in domestic non-investment grade debt, expanding the fund’s income sources. With over 1,500 holdings and assets exceeding $11 billion, the fund serves a broad investor base seeking both income and risk-managed equity exposure. Its notable combination of income generation, sector diversification, and disciplined allocation positions it as a significant player in the balanced fund segment of the financial market.
