About HSMAX

Hartford Small Cap Value Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-cap U.S. companies that are perceived to be undervalued by the market. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to common stocks of small-cap firms, targeting those that trade at significant discounts due to market inefficiencies, secular or cyclical trends, or investor sentiment biases. Managed with a value-driven approach and sub-advised by Wellington, the fund combines a top-down macroeconomic perspective with rigorous company analysis to identify quality businesses with strong fundamentals. With approximately 62 holdings, the portfolio is diversified across various sectors, including financials, utilities, energy, real estate, and consumer discretionary. A hallmark of the fund is its emphasis on independent research and collaboration, supported by the global resources of Wellington. Hartford Small Cap Value Fund Class A plays a significant role in offering investors access to potential growth opportunities within the domestic small-cap value segment, helping diversify portfolios and tap into companies at early stages of their business cycles.
