About HCKTX
Hartford Checks and Balances Fund Class R5 is a moderate allocation mutual fund designed to deliver both long-term capital appreciation and income. Structured as a fund-of-funds, it strategically invests in a blend of three underlying Hartford Funds: an opportunistic stock-picking fund, a dividend-focused equity fund, and a relatively conservative bond fund. This multi-manager approach allows for diversified exposure across equities and fixed income, with typical portfolio allocations of roughly two-thirds to stocks and one-third to bonds. The fund aims to balance growth potential and risk by maintaining an equity exposure generally between 50% and 70%, making it suitable for investors seeking a middle ground between aggressive growth and capital preservation. It is supported by the expertise and resources of Hartford Funds Management Company and benefits from professional oversight and active asset allocation. Dividend distributions occur quarterly, and the fund is positioned in the market as a cost-efficient solution compared to many peers, providing broad market participation and layered risk management through its underlying holdings.
