YOUR EXPENSES.   The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.  You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in The Hartford Mutual Funds.  More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the “Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers” section beginning on page 25 of the Fund’s prospectus and the “Purchase and Redemption of Shares” section beginning on page 153 of the Fund’s statement of additional information.

(1)               For investments over $1 million, a 1.00% maximum deferred sales charge may apply.

(2)               Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the “Investment Manager”) has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain total annual fund operating expenses as follows:  1.25% (Class A), 1.00% (Class I), 1.35% (Class R3), 1.05% (Class R4) and 0.75% (Class R5).  In addition, Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), the Fund’s transfer agent, has contractually agreed to reimburse any portion of the transfer agency fees over 0.30% of the average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes.  Each contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 28, 2014, and shall renew automatically for one-year terms unless the Investment Manager or HASCO, respectively, provides written notice of termination prior to the start of the next term or upon approval of the Board of Directors of the Fund.

EXAMPLE.   The examples below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that:

Your actual costs may be higher or lower.  Based on these assumptions, for every $10,000 invested, you would pay the following expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Portfolio Turnover.   The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the examples, affect the Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 28% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY.   The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of common stocks that typically have above average dividend yields and whose prospects for capital appreciation are considered favorable by the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”).  The Fund’s portfolio is broadly diversified by company and industry.  Under normal market and economic conditions, at least 65% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in dividend paying equity securities.  The Fund tends to focus on securities of larger, well-established companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the S&P 500 Index.  The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets

in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities.  Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to evaluate a security for purchase or sale by the Fund.

MAIN RISKS.  The primary risks of investing in the Fund are described below.  When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money as a result of your investment.  An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.   As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal.  For more information regarding risks and investment matters please see “Additional Information Regarding Risks and Investment Strategies” in the Fund’s prospectus.

Market Risk — Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably.  Securities may decline in value due to the activities and financial prospects of individual companies or to general market and economic movements and trends.

Dividend Paying Security Investment Risk — Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing the Fund during such periods to underperform funds that do not focus on dividends. The Fund’s focus on dividend paying investments may cause the Fund’s share price and total return to fluctuate more than the share price and total return of funds that do not focus their investments on dividend paying securities. In addition, income provided by the Fund may be affected by changes in the dividend policies of the companies in which the Fund invests and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies.

Investment Strategy Risk - The risk that, if the sub-adviser’s investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money.  There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Foreign Investments Risk — Investments in foreign securities may be riskier than investments in U.S. securities.  Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions, may affect the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign securities.  Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Fund’s foreign investments.

The Fund is subject to certain other risks, which are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES.   If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial advisor), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial advisor to recommend the Fund over another investment.  Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
