About HFZCX
Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Multi-Sector Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed open-end mutual fund focused on diversified fixed-income exposure across emerging markets. Its primary objective is to provide total return by investing in an equal-weighted mix of emerging market sovereign hard-currency bonds, local-currency debt, and corporate bonds, blending multiple segments to balance income sources and country and currency risks. The strategy is designed to offer broad geographic and sector diversification within emerging markets while leveraging Schroders’ credit and macro research to allocate across issuers, maturities, and currencies. As a Class C share class, it carries higher ongoing expenses relative to many peers, which Morningstar identifies as a notable headwind, though the share class structure typically forgoes front-end sales charges in exchange for higher annual costs. The fund is relatively small in asset size, which can aid nimbleness when repositioning across market cycles and liquidity regimes. Overall, the fund’s role in a portfolio is to serve as a dedicated emerging-markets bond allocation with multi-sector exposure, aiming to diversify core fixed-income holdings through differentiated credit and currency drivers.
