About HSDSX

Hartford Short Duration Fund Class R4 is an actively managed open‑end mutual fund focused on short‑term, investment‑grade fixed income with a targeted low effective duration to help reduce interest‑rate sensitivity. The fund seeks to provide current income and long‑term total return by allocating across diversified bond sectors, including investment‑grade corporates, asset‑backed securities, mortgage‑backed securities, bank loans, and select high yield exposures, alongside U.S. government bonds. Portfolio construction emphasizes broad issuer and security diversification, reflected in a large number of holdings and a duration profile typically in the one‑to‑three‑year range. This design positions the strategy as a core short‑term bond option for conservative allocations, cash management tiers, or as a ballast within multi‑asset portfolios, aiming to balance income generation with moderated volatility relative to intermediate and long‑duration bonds. The fund is part of a wider fixed income lineup and is managed by an experienced team that blends top‑down sector allocation with bottom‑up credit selection to navigate changing credit cycles and rate environments while maintaining liquidity and risk controls.
