About HSDFX

Hartford Short Duration Fund Class F is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short-term fixed income, aiming to provide current income with a conservative interest-rate profile. The strategy concentrates on securities with an effective duration of about two years, seeking lower volatility relative to core bond funds while maintaining meaningful income generation. The portfolio spans a diverse mix of sectors, including investment‑grade credit, asset‑backed and mortgage‑backed securities, bank loans, and a measured allocation to high yield, complemented by U.S. government exposure. Credit quality is broadly diversified across investment‑grade tiers with selective below‑investment‑grade holdings to enhance income, and the fund typically holds several hundred issues for granular risk management. The fund distributes income monthly, reflecting its income-oriented mandate, and is positioned within the short-term bond category for investors prioritizing capital preservation with moderate credit risk over rate risk. Backed by Hartford’s fixed income platform, the fund plays a role as a core short-duration complement in multi-asset or liability-aware portfolios, aiming to navigate shifting rate cycles through sector allocation and security selection.
