Investment Goal and Approach

The Fund seeks short and long-term capital appreciation.

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies covering a broad range of industries and market capitalization, focusing on securities that the team believes are undervalued and have potential for appreciation. A stock's value is evaluated on three primary criteria: Its price to earnings ratio, issuer's earning power, and growth potential.

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 1/2/96), 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.
