About HSDTX

Hartford Short Duration Fund Class R5 is a U.S. mutual fund focused on short-term fixed income with an objective to provide current income and long‑term total return. The portfolio emphasizes investment‑grade credit while opportunistically allocating to sectors such as asset‑backed securities, mortgage‑backed securities, bank loans, and a measured sleeve of high yield, seeking diversified income sources across the short end of the curve. The fund maintains a short effective duration—around two years—to help manage interest‑rate sensitivity, aligning it with the short‑term bond category. Credit exposure is primarily concentrated in A and BBB tiers, complemented by allocations across AA and AAA, with limited below‑investment‑grade exposure. It distributes income monthly and has hundreds of holdings to enhance diversification by issuer, sector, and structure. With multi‑sector breadth uncommon for traditional short government benchmarks, the strategy plays a role as a core short‑duration bond allocation for investors aiming to balance income generation with muted rate risk within fixed income portfolios.
