Investment Goal and Approach

The Fund seeks a competitive total return, with income as a secondary objective. The Fund Manager follows the Hartford Investment Management total return investment philosophy by striving to balance income and potential for capital appreciation so that both components can contribute to the Fund?s long-term total return.

* 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.

Although the fund began offering Class C shares on 08/01/98, the Funds have been in operation since their identified inception dates. The performance figures above are provided to show investors how the Class C shares would have performed had they been offered since the inception of the Fund. The figures are based on the Fund's Class B shares which have similar operating expenses, but different sales charges, to the Class C shares (when applicable, these figures include the effect of sales charges for Class C shares).

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.

Securities rated "BB" and below are commonly referred to as "high yield, high risk securities" or "junk bonds." High yield bonds generally involve greater credit risk and may be more volatile than investment grade bonds.

A portion of income may be subject to federal, state and local tax.
