About ITBAX
Hartford Total Return Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund specializing in seeking a competitive total return, with income serving as a secondary objective. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds, focusing primarily on investment-grade debt securities while allowing some flexibility for lower-rated issues to achieve its objectives. Managed by a seasoned team leveraging both top-down macroeconomic analysis and bottom-up security selection, the fund blends core bond holdings with tactical allocations to income-focused sectors—such as securitized credit and government bonds. Its portfolio often features a diverse mix spanning U.S. Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds, with an emphasis on value and risk management. With monthly dividend distributions and a broad asset base—recently measured at approximately $4.5 billion—the fund plays a significant role in the intermediate core-plus bond category. It is designed for investors seeking diversified exposure to fixed income, aiming to balance capital preservation, yield, and total return in changing market environments.
