Investment Goal and Approach

The Fund seeks short and long-term capital appreciation

Michael Carmen uses fundamental analysis to identify high quality growth companies for purchase or sale by the Fund. He seeks to invest in growth companies, regardless of market capitalization with:

• Strong management teams with clearly articulated business strategies;
• A history of earnings growth and the potential for that growth to be sustained;
• Attractive stock valuations

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Current Performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance current to the most recent month ended, please see www.hartfordadvisor.com.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

* Performance Including Maximum Sales Charge- The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5% (Except: 4.5% for High Yield, Income, Total Return Bond, Tax- Free MN, Tax- Free CA, Tax- Free NY, Tax- Free National, U.S. Government Securities, and the Inflation Plus Fund. 3.0% for Short Duration, and no sales charge for the Money Market Fund). Class B shares reflect the deduction of the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) in years one through six of 5%, 4%, 3%, 3%, 2%, and 1% respectively. Class C shares reflect a 1% CDSC in year one.

Class A, B, and C shares commenced operations on February 19, 2002. Share performance prior to February 19, 2002 reflects Class L (inception 3/31/63), M, and N (inception 11/14/94) share performance and operating expenses less Class A, B and C share sales charges, respectively, where applicable. If the Class A, B, and C operating expenses had been applied during that period, performance would have been lower.
