Investment Goal and Approach
The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in stocks of mid-to-large capitalization foreign issuers.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested, identifying growth industries and companies
through researching short and long-term trends. Stocks are selected based upon true company
research, comparison and selection.
Investment Approach
Stocks and Sectors, not Countries and Regions
The Portfolio Managers utilize Wellington Management?s team of Global Industry
Analysts to identify mid-to-large capitalization foreign issuers that are seen as leaders in
their industry, not pacesetters of a specific country.
Collaborative Research
The Portfolio Managers work hand in hand with analysts to research companies, their
competitors and suppliers around the world.
Focus on Growth
Based on research, The Portfolio Managers identify high quality growth companies for
the Fund that they believe are likely to grow faster than expected over the next twelve
to eighteen months.
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.
