About HMKCX
Hartford Sustainable Municipal Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed municipal bond mutual fund. Its primary objective is to provide current income that is generally exempt from federal income taxes while pursuing long-term total return within a defined sustainability framework. The fund invests predominantly in investment-grade municipal securities, maintaining broad credit exposure across high-quality tiers such as AA and A, with measured allocations to BBB and below-investment-grade bonds to diversify income sources and manage duration risk. Management emphasizes sectors aligned with sustainable outcomes, channeling capital toward areas like sustainable cities and communities, infrastructure, health care, and education, reflecting a thematic approach to municipal impact within traditional credit analysis. The strategy typically targets an intermediate interest-rate profile, as indicated by its effective duration positioning, to balance income generation with sensitivity to rate movements. The portfolio is sub-advised by Wellington Management, leveraging experienced municipal bond portfolio managers and research resources to evaluate issuer fundamentals, use-of-proceeds, and environmental and social considerations alongside financial metrics. Positioned within the national intermediate municipal category, the fund serves investors seeking tax-advantaged income with an integrated sustainability lens across U.S. municipal issuers.
