About HERCX

Hartford Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in the equity securities of companies operating in or primarily traded on exchanges within emerging markets. The fund strategically allocates at least 80% of its assets to emerging market equities, encompassing a diversified portfolio with over 200 individual holdings spanning more than 20 nations, with a notable focus on Asia and Latin America. The fund leverages a quantitative investment approach to capitalize on market inefficiencies, employing a highly systematic and risk-controlled process. Managed by experienced portfolio managers and sub-advised by Wellington Management, it aims to offer exposure to regions with higher growth and diversification potential, though with increased risk relative to developed markets. Major holdings often include sector-leading firms such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Tencent Holdings, and Alibaba Group Holding. The fund’s structure and active management make it a significant player for investors seeking diversified access to emerging market growth trends within a mutual fund framework.
