About HCKFX
Hartford Checks and Balances Fund Class F is a mutual fund structured as a fund-of-funds, primarily designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income through a diversified allocation strategy. The fund integrates three distinct underlying portfolios: an opportunistic stock-picking fund, a dividend-focused equity fund, and a relatively conservative bond fund, allocating one third of its assets to each. This layered approach offers investors built-in portfolio diversification and the convenience of accessing multiple investment styles within a single product. Management of overall allocation is overseen by Hartford Funds, with Wellington Management acting as sub-adviser to the underlying funds. The fund primarily holds large-cap equities—over 90% of its equity portion is invested in companies with markets caps above $10 billion—alongside fixed income securities, supporting both growth and stability. Its moderate allocation makes it suitable for investors seeking balanced exposure to equity and bond markets, and its structure is designed to deliver consistent performance by blending growth potential with income generation and risk mitigation.
