About HFHSX
Hartford Low Duration High Income Fund Class R4 is a mutual fund within the taxable bond category, designed to deliver a high level of income to investors. It primarily invests at least 65% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities, commonly known as junk bonds, which offer attractive yields while maintaining a low duration profile to limit interest rate sensitivity. The fund employs a top-down macro perspective using economic data to gauge risk appetite, combined with bottom-up fundamental research for security selection, and is sub-advised by Wellington Management for expertise across asset classes. Its portfolio typically features short effective duration around 1.1 to 1.3 years, monthly dividend distributions, and diversification across sectors such as collateralized loan obligations, mortgage-backed securities, high yield credit, bank loans, and asset-backed securities. Credit exposure emphasizes BB and B rated holdings, with allocations to government-related mortgage securities and cash equivalents. Managed by Hartford Funds since its inception in 2011, this R4 share class serves retirement plans and institutional investors seeking income-oriented fixed income exposure with moderated duration risk in the high yield bond market.
