About HFAHX

The Hartford Schroders International Contrarian Value Fund Class Y is an open-end mutual fund focused on international equity markets. Its core objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in international stocks that are significantly undervalued relative to their long-term earnings potential. The fund distinguishes itself with a contrarian investment approach, deliberately seeking companies that are overlooked or undervalued by the broader market, especially those with the capacity for profit improvement. Sub-advised by Schroders, a global asset manager with more than 200 years of experience, the fund utilizes rigorous bottom-up, fundamental and quantitative research to construct a diversified portfolio across multiple sectors and regions outside the United States. The portfolio is predominantly allocated to foreign equities, with a high active share, indicating a strong divergence from its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Value Index. The strategy may incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations in its investment process. By focusing on value opportunities in developed international markets, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking diversification and exposure to potential mispriced assets globally.
