About HSDCX

Hartford Short Duration Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short-term fixed income. Its primary objective is to deliver income and total return with reduced interest-rate sensitivity by maintaining a short effective duration, recently around two years, which helps moderate price volatility when rates move. The portfolio spans a broad mix of sectors, including investment‑grade corporate credit, asset‑backed and mortgage‑backed securities, commercial mortgage‑backed bonds, bank loans, and a measured allocation to high‑yield credit, with limited exposure to U.S. government debt relative to its benchmark. The fund typically concentrates in investment‑grade securities while retaining flexibility to allocate a portion to below‑investment‑grade holdings to enhance income. It pays dividends monthly and holds a diversified lineup of hundreds of issuers and securities, reflecting a multi‑sector approach to short duration bond investing. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, it aims to appeal to investors seeking bond exposure with lower duration risk than intermediate‑term strategies, balancing income generation with capital stability in changing rate environments.
