About HLDCX
Hartford Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund is a mutual fund focused on delivering both capital appreciation and income by investing primarily in local currency-denominated debt securities issued by governments and corporations within emerging market economies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to these types of securities, seeking opportunities across a diverse basket of countries and currencies. Its investment process is characterized by a blend of top-down macroeconomic analysis and bottom-up research, evaluating interest rate, currency, and credit conditions to identify value in the emerging markets debt landscape. Managed in partnership with Wellington Management Company, the fund leverages the firm’s global expertise and collaborative research approach. Portfolio holdings span both investment grade and non-investment grade debt, giving exposure to the growth dynamics and unique risk profiles of developing markets. With broad diversification across countries such as Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, and South Africa, the fund plays a distinctive role in providing access to local debt instruments in emerging economies, making it a notable vehicle for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure beyond developed markets.
