About HILSX
Hartford International Value Fund Class R4 is a mutual fund focused on delivering long-term total returns through equity investments in companies outside the United States. Managed by experienced portfolio managers and sub-advised by Wellington Management, the fund employs a contrarian, research-driven stock-picking strategy, seeking opportunities in undervalued foreign companies across developed and emerging markets. With approximately 230 holdings spanning various sectors and geographies, it maintains a high level of diversification, investing mainly in financials, industrials, healthcare, and consumer sectors, with significant regional allocations to Japan, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. The fund’s portfolio typically consists of a blend of small-, mid-, and large-cap equities, and its turnover is moderate, reflecting a long-term, fundamental approach. Its investment style is classified as foreign large value, aiming to capitalize on market inefficiencies and overlooked opportunities. The fund’s notable characteristics include a relatively low price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratio compared to its benchmark, an active share indicating differentiated holdings, and a strong focus on risk management through diversification and research depth. Hartford International Value Fund Class R4 plays a key role for investors seeking international diversification and exposure to undervalued global equities.
