About HFLAX
Hartford Floating Rate Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on generating high current income with an additional objective of long-term total return. The strategy primarily invests in below-investment-grade, variable or floating-rate corporate loans and other floating-rate securities, aiming to reduce interest-rate sensitivity relative to fixed-rate bonds. The portfolio is broadly diversified by issuer and industry, holding several hundred positions, and is sub-advised by Wellington Management Company, which provides deep credit research resources and security selection expertise. As a bank-loan category fund, it emphasizes low effective duration, monthly income distributions, and exposure concentrated in BB and B-rated credits typical of the leveraged loan market. The fund’s role in the market is to offer income-oriented investors a vehicle that can help hedge against rising rates while accessing the senior secured loan segment of corporate credit. According to sponsor materials, it maintains a substantial allocation to bank loans and reports portfolio statistics such as effective duration and credit mix to highlight risk and income characteristics.
