About HCKIX

Hartford Checks and Balances Fund Class I is a diversified mutual fund that seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income through a multi-asset, fund-of-funds structure. Its portfolio is built from a strategic combination of three underlying Hartford Funds: an opportunistic stock-picking fund focused on capital appreciation, a dividend-focused fund targeting equities with above-average yields, and a relatively conservative bond fund emphasizing fixed-income exposure. This allocation offers investors exposure to both growth and income opportunities across equity and fixed-income markets, aiming to balance potential returns with risk management. The fund is actively managed, with overall allocation decisions made by Hartford Funds Management Company, and the underlying components advised by investment professionals including Wellington Management. By consolidating multiple strategies into a single fund, Hartford Checks and Balances Fund Class I provides convenient access to broad diversification and multiple sources of return, catering to investors interested in a blend of growth, income, and risk mitigation. Its structure enables participation in a range of market conditions while offering the efficiency of owning one integrated investment solution.
