About HFHFX
Hartford Low Duration High Income Fund Class F is a taxable bond mutual fund designed to generate a high level of income through a diversified portfolio of debt securities. The fund primarily invests in below-investment-grade bonds, commonly referred to as high-yield or junk bonds, that its sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company, views as attractive from a yield perspective. With a low effective duration of around one year, the strategy emphasizes shorter-maturity securities to help reduce sensitivity to interest rate movements while still targeting elevated income levels. The portfolio spans corporate credit, securitized assets, and structured products, with exposure across a range of credit qualities, from higher-quality investment-grade to lower-rated high-yield issues. The fund employs both top-down macroeconomic analysis and bottom-up security selection, aiming to balance credit risk, sector allocation, and income generation within the lower-duration segment of the high-yield bond market. This positions it as a specialized vehicle in the fixed income landscape focused on shorter-term, higher-income opportunities.
