About HSDVX

Hartford Short Duration Fund Class R6 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short-term, predominantly investment‑grade fixed income. Its primary objective is to deliver current income with an emphasis on limited interest‑rate sensitivity, positioning the portfolio in shorter maturities to help stabilize net asset value across rate cycles. The strategy invests mainly in investment‑grade bonds while retaining flexibility to allocate a portion to non‑investment‑grade securities and bank loans, broadening income sources and credit exposure within a controlled duration profile. The fund typically resides in the short‑term bond category, balancing credit quality and yield, with an effective duration under two years cited in third‑party research. It draws on a dedicated fixed‑income team and uses a blend of Treasuries, securitized assets, and corporate credit to manage liquidity and credit risk while seeking total return. This share class is designed for retirement platforms with institutional pricing, aiming to provide a core short‑duration sleeve for diversified fixed‑income allocations, cash management ladders, or liability‑aware portfolios seeking steady income and reduced volatility versus intermediate‑term bond funds.
