2009 Semi-Annual Report
The Hartford Income Allocation Fund
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
First and foremost, thank you for choosing The Hartford Mutual Funds.
My team and I realize the past year has been an extremely turbulent one for all investors. That’s why we’re even more honored that you’ve trusted our fund family to help you meet your investing needs.
The beginning of 2009 saw a continuation of the persistent volatility that defined the second half of 2008. Despite the rocky start, a cautious optimism began to surface when some stock indices started to show signs of life in March.
Although the outlook for the economy remains uncertain—as it often has been—I believe that the market environment will eventually improve, and that a long-awaited recovery will ultimately bring with it opportunities for growth.
In the meantime, you might do well to schedule an appointment with your financial professional—especially if the astonishingly high levels of volatility that we’ve experienced have left you wondering if your financial plan is still on track.
Alongside your financial professional, you can determine if your portfolio is adequately diversified, or if you need to adjust your investment strategy in order to help meet your long-term goals.
Volatility has caused investors considerable discomfort during the past year. But no matter what market challenges we may face, you can be certain that The Hartford Mutual Funds’ commitment to you remains unchanged—to provide you with the outstanding investments and service that you have come to expect from us.
Robert Arena
President

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
(1) | | Growth of a $10,000 investment in Classes B, C, I, R3, R4 and R5 shares will vary from results seen above due to differences in the expenses charged to these classes. |
|
(2) | | Class I shares commenced operations on 8/31/06. Performance prior to 8/31/06 reflects Class A performance. Class R3, R4 and R5 shares commenced operations on 12/22/06. Performance prior to 12/22/06 reflects Class A performance. |
|
(3) | | The initial investment in Class A shares reflects the maximum sales charge and Classes B and C reflect CDSC. |
|
(4) | | Total returns presented above were calculated using the Fund’s net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on April 30, 2009, which excludes investment transactions as of this date. |
How did the Fund perform?
The Class A shares of The Hartford Income Allocation Fund returned 6.48%, before sales charge, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, versus 5.96% for the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds category, and 7.74% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
The U.S. recession continued to deepen during the six-month period under review. Rising unemployment weighed on personal income and spending, while first quarter industrial production posted the steepest quarterly decline in more than 30 years. However, as the six-month period drew to a close, there were some signs that perhaps the rate of economic decline was beginning to slow. Financial conditions stabilized a bit, while the Fed’s purchases of long-term Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities also provided strong support for the mortgage market, driving fixed mortgage rates lower.
In fixed income, five and ten year Treasury yields increased during the 6-month period. Within the major sectors of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, investment grade credit was the
2
top performer at 11.47%, while commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) were the weakest performers at 1.32%. In the high yield asset classes, high yield bonds and emerging markets debt both outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, while floating rate notes did not. In addition, Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS) were the best performing investment grade asset class in the Fund’s investment universe at 9.46%.
There are two main drivers of the Fund’s performance: asset allocation among various asset classes and performance of the underlying funds. With regard to asset allocation, the Fund is fully invested in the fixed income markets. Therefore, we seek to add value by strategically allocating within the fixed income investment sub asset classes. During the period, overall asset allocation detracted from performance. Specifically, favorable allocations to TIPS failed to offset the impact of unfavorable allocations to floating rate notes.
Beyond the asset allocation decision, we also seek to add value by selecting the underlying mutual funds that will most effectively deliver the target asset class exposures. We analyze all of the funds in our investment universe, looking through each fund’s objectives and stated benchmark to see what it actually holds and how it really behaves. During the period, our underlying fund selection process detracted from the Fund’s performance.
Based on the risk profile of the Fund, the Fund’s duration (a measure of a bond’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates) is targeted to be less than the Barclay’s Aggregate Index. For the period, the shorter duration positioning detracted from the Fund’s performance.
During the period, the Fund continued to utilize Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) to obtain asset class exposures otherwise unavailable through The Hartford family of funds. Specifically, the Fund has an allocation to an ETF that provides emerging market debt exposure.
Whenever possible, we rely on cash flows to execute our allocation changes. That was the case during the six-month period ended April 30, and no hard rebalance (i.e. a fund rebalancing to move the underlying fund investments to their target allocation percentages) was required.
What is the outlook?
In fixed income risk premiums (the additional compensation paid to investors to tolerate the increased level of risk in a given asset class relative to Treasuries) across most asset classes reversed course and began to contract as conditions improved and volatility declined. An onslaught of government policy, from fiscal stimulus to quantitative easing, was the primary catalyst and buyers of historically inexpensive corporate debt emerged as more market participants recognized relative value versus equities. Although risk premiums have come off their historical peak, spreads remain significantly wider (i.e. short and long term interest rates farther apart) than in prior recessions.
We believe that investors are well served by adhering to a strategic, diversified portfolio and rebalancing accordingly. We construct these portfolios based upon the long-term properties of asset classes. We look at their long-term returns, volatilities, and correlations between each other and run optimizations to build an optimal portfolio.
At a meeting held on May 6, 2009, the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. approved on behalf of The Hartford Income Allocation Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) and The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), the reorganization of the Acquired Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Effective July 31, 2009, shares of the Acquired Fund will no longer be sold to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends) or be eligible for exchanges from other Hartford Mutual Funds.
The Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. has called for a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Fund (the “Meeting”) to be held on or about September 9, 2009, for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund.

The Hartford Income Allocation Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
(000’s Omitted)
1. | | Organization: |
|
| | The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Company”) is an open-end management investment company comprised of fifty-two portfolios. Financial statements for The Hartford Income Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Company, are included in this report. |
|
| | The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. |
|
| | Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which is assessed on the lesser of the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares at the time of redemption or the original purchase price, and declines from up to 5.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I shares are sold without sales charges to certain eligible investors through advisory fee-based wrap programs. Classes R3, R4, R5 shares, which are offered to employer-sponsored retirement plans, are sold without a sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, redemption, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, with the exceptions that each class may have different expenses, which may affect performance, and except that Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. |
|
| | The Fund, as a “Fund of Funds”, invests the majority of its assets in Class Y shares of other Hartford mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”) as well as certain exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund seeks its investment goals through implementation of a strategic asset allocation recommendation provided by Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). |
|
| | Effective at the close of business on September 30, 2009 (the “Close Date”), no new or additional investments will be allowed in Class B shares of The Hartford Mutual Funds (including investments through any systematic investment plan). After the Close Date, existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to hold their Class B shares, exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of another Hartford Mutual Fund (as permitted by existing exchange privileges), and redeem their Class B shares as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Reinstatement privileges with respect to Class B shares will continue under the current policy. If you have chosen to reinvest capital gains and dividends, any such capital gains or dividends on Class B shares will continue to be reinvested in Class B shares of the Fund. For Class B shares outstanding as of the Close Date, all Class B share attributes, including the 12b-1 fee, contingent deferred sales charge schedule, and conversion to Class A shares remain unchanged. |

2. | | Significant Accounting Policies: |
|
| | The accounting policies of the affiliated underlying funds are outlined in the shareholder reports for such funds, available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 888-843-7824 and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The reports may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. The affiliated Underlying Funds are not covered by this report. |
|
| | The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). |
| a) | | Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost. |
8
| | | Dividend income is accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
|
| b) | | Security Valuation — Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the valuation date. |
|
| | | The Fund generally uses market prices in valuing portfolio securities. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, the Fund will use the fair value of the security as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors. Market prices may be deemed unreliable, for example, if a security is thinly traded or if an event has occurred after the close of the security’s primary markets, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, referred to as the “Valuation Time”) that is expected to affect the value of the portfolio security. The circumstances in which the Fund may use fair value pricing include, among others: (i) the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructuring or defaults; (ii) the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or governmental actions; (iii) trading restrictions on securities; (iv) thinly traded securities and (v) market events such as trading halts and early market closings. In addition, with respect to the valuation of stocks primarily traded on foreign markets, the Fund uses a fair value pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors, which employs quantitative models that evaluate changes in the value of foreign market proxies (e.g., futures contracts, ADR’s, exchange traded funds (“ETF’s”)) after the close of the foreign markets but before the close of the Exchange. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. The value of the foreign securities in which the Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would have been calculated using market prices at the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is primarily traded but before the close of the Exchange. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if the Fund were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV. |
|
| | | Debt securities (other than short-term obligations and senior floating rate interests) held by the Fund are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units of debt securities. Senior floating rate interests generally trade in over-the-counter markets and are priced through an independent pricing service utilizing independent market quotations from loan dealers or financial institutions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Generally, the Fund may use fair valuation in regard to debt securities when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed securities or securities in a company in which a reorganization is pending. Short-term investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased are valued based on market quotations until the remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. Investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. |
|
| | | Exchange traded equity securities shall be valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded (the “Primary Market”) at the Valuation Time. If the security did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the Valuation Time at the last reported sale price on another exchange where it trades. The value of an equity security not traded on any exchange but traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) or another over-the-counter market shall be valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is traded as of the Valuation Time. If it is not possible to determine the last reported sale price or official closing price on the relevant exchange or market at the Valuation Time, the value of the security shall be taken to be the most recent mean between bid and asked prices on such exchange or market at the Valuation Time. |
|
| | | Securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates. |

| | | Options contracts on securities, currencies, indexes, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments shall be valued at their most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on the Primary Market on which the instrument is primarily traded. If the instrument did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on another exchange or market where it did trade. |
|
| | | Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. If a settlement price is not available, futures contracts will be valued at the most recent trade price as of the Valuation Time. If there were no trades, the contract shall be valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask prices as of the Valuation Time. |
|
| | | Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in securities in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. |
|
| | | A forward currency contract shall be valued based on the price of the underlying currency at the prevailing interpolated exchange rate, which is a combination of the spot currency rate and the forward currency rate. Spot currency rates and forward currency rates are obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily basis not more than one hour before the Valuation Time. |
|
| | | Swaps are valued based on custom valuations furnished by an independent pricing service. Swaps for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. |
|
| | | Other derivative or contractual type instruments shall be valued using market prices if such instruments trade on an exchange or market. If such instruments do not trade on an exchange or market, such instruments shall be valued at a price at which the counterparty to such contract would repurchase the instrument. In the event that the counterparty cannot provide a price, such valuation may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. |
|
| c) | | Indexed Securities — The Fund may invest in indexed securities whose values are linked to changes in interest rates, indices, or other underlying instruments. The Fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in using conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment and there may be a limit to the potential appreciation of the investment. The Fund had investments in indexed securities as of April 30, 2009, as shown on the Schedule of Investments under Exchange Traded Funds. |
|
| d) | | Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the shareholders. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the Exchange. The NAV is determined separately for each class of the Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of the Fund’s shares prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV. |
|
| | | The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders no less frequently than once a year. Normally, dividends from net investment income of the Fund are declared and paid monthly. Dividends are paid on shares beginning on the business day after the day when the funds used to purchase the shares are collected by the transfer agent for the Fund. Long-term capital gains distributions received from underlying funds are distributed at least annually, when required. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, all dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional full or fractional shares of the Fund. |
10
| | | Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing. These differences include but are not limited to foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales adjustments, adjustments related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies and certain derivatives, and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Fund’s capital accounts (see Federal Income Taxes: Reclassification of Capital Accounts footnote). |
|
| e) | | Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates. |
|
| f) | | Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Effective November 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance. |
|
| | | Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are: |
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, ETF’s, and rights and warrants. |
|
| • | | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and that are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities, whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost. |
|
| • | | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and require significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker quoted securities, long dated OTC options and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price. |
| | | Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than those presented above, as individual circumstances dictate. |
|
| | | FAS 157 also requires that a roll forward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3. For purposes of this reconciliation, transfers in are shown at the end of period fair value and transfers out are shown at the beginning of period fair value. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, the Fund held no Level 3 securities. |

| | | FASB Staff Position No. 157-4 — In April 2009, FASB released FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on determining whether a market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed when measuring fair value under FAS 157. The FSP also requires additional disclosure detail on debt and equity securities by major investment categories. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP FAS 157-4 and does not believe it will impact valuation but will require additional disclosure. This additional disclosure has not yet been implemented. |
|
| g) | | Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires companies to disclose information detailing the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the level of derivative activity entered into by the company and any credit risk-related contingent features of the agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and has not yet implemented the new disclosure standard. |
|
| h) | | Indemnifications: Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland General Corporation Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Company, on behalf of the Fund, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. |
| a) | | Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. The Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years and the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2009. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
|
| b) | | The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund for the periods indicated is as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable): |
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the Year Ended | | For the Year Ended |
| | October 31, 2008 | | October 31, 2007 |
Ordinary Income | | $ | 2,766 | | | $ | 1,942 | |
12
As of October 31, 2008, the Fund’s components of distributable earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Amount | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | $ | 34 | |
Accumulated Capital Losses* | | $ | (771 | ) |
Unrealized Depreciation† | | $ | (9,940 | ) |
| | | |
Total Accumulated Deficit | | $ | (10,677 | ) |
| | | |
| | |
* | | The Fund has capital loss carryforwards that are identified in the Capital Loss Carryforward note that follows. |
|
† | | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are attributable to the tax deferral of wash sales losses, the mark-to-market adjustment for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Sec. 1256, the mark to market for Passive Foreign Investment Companies and basis differences in real estate investment trusts. |
| c) | | Reclassification of Capital Accounts — In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, the Fund has recorded reclassifications in its capital accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on the NAV of the Fund. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting for such items as net operating losses that reduce distribution requirements. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. As of October 31, 2008, the Fund had no reclassifications. |
|
| d) | | Capital Loss Carryforward — At October 31, 2008 (tax-year-end), the Fund had capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately: |
| | | | |
Year | | Amount | |
2014 | | $ | 38 | |
2015 | | | 96 | |
2016 | | | 637 | |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 771 | |
| | | |
| e) | | Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 — On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The Fund adopted FIN 48 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2006 — 2008) and has determined there is no impact to the Fund’s financial statements. |
| a) | | Investment Management Agreements — Hartford Investment Financial Services, LLC (“HIFSCO”) serves as investment manager to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. As investment manager, HIFSCO has overall investment supervisory responsibility for the Fund. In addition, HIFSCO provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of the Fund. HIFSCO has contracted with Hartford Investment Management for the provision of day-to-day investment management services to the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Fund pays a fee to HIFSCO, a portion of which may be used to compensate Hartford Investment Management. |

On next $5 billion | | | 0.012 | % |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.010 | % |
| c) | | Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses incurred by the Company are allocated to each Fund and allocated to classes within the Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of the Fund and each class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to the Fund or to specific classes within a Fund. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, HIFSCO has contractually limited the total operating expenses of this Fund, exclusive of taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, certain distribution expenses and extraordinary expenses as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Class I | | Class R3 | | Class R4 | | Class R5 |
1.20% | | | 1.95 | % | | | 1.95 | % | | | 0.95 | % | | | 1.59 | % | | | 1.29 | % | | | 0.99 | % |
| | | Voluntary limitations for total operating expenses include expenses incurred as the result of investing in other investment companies. Amounts incurred which exceed the above limits are deducted from expenses and are reported as waivers on the accompanying Statement of Operations. |
|
| d) | | Distribution and Service Plan for Class A, B, C, R3 and R4 Shares — HIFSCO is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Fund. HIFSCO is engaged in distribution activities, which include marketing and distribution of shares through broker-dealers, financing distribution costs and maintaining financial books and records. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, HIFSCO received front-end load sales charges of $117 and contingent deferred sales charges of $14 from the Fund. |
|
| | | The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to compensate the distributor (HIFSCO) for activities intended to result in the sale and distribution of Classes A, B, C, R3 and R4 shares and for providing services for shareholders. The Rule 12b-1 plan applicable to Class A shares of the Funds provides for payment of a Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 0.35% of average daily net assets; however, the Board of Directors has currently authorized 12b-1 payments of only up to 0.25%. Some or all of the fee may be used for shareholder servicing expenses with the remainder used for distribution expenses. Some or the entire Rule 12b-1 fee for Class B shares may be remitted to broker-dealers for distribution and/or shareholder account services. Under the Class B Plan, the Fund pays the distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares that are outstanding for 8 years or less, 0.25% of which is a fee for services provided to existing shareholders with the remainder used for distribution expenses. After eight years, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Upon conversion to Class A shares, the Class A plan described above will apply to those shares. Under the Class C Plan, the Fund pays the distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares outstanding, 0.25% of which is intended as a fee for services provided to existing shareholders with the remainder used for distribution expenses. For Class C shares, some or the entire fee may |
14
| | | be remitted to broker-dealers for distribution and/or shareholder account services. Class R3 shares have a distribution fee of 0.50% and Class R4 shares have a distribution fee of 0.25%. For Classes R3 and R4 shares, some or the entire fee may be remitted to broker dealers for distribution and/or shareholder account services. The Fund’s 12b-1 fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. |
|
| | | For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, total sales commissions paid to affiliated brokers/dealers of The Hartford for distributing the Fund’s shares were $6. These commissions are in turn paid to sales representatives of the broker/dealers. |
|
| e) | | Other Related Party Transactions — Certain officers of the Fund are directors and/or officers of HIFSCO and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, a portion of the Fund’s chief compliance officer’s salary was paid by the Fund in an amount, which rounds to zero. Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to the Fund. HASCO was compensated $37 for providing such services. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. |

8. | | Line of Credit: |
|
| | The Fund is one of several Hartford Funds that participate in a $500 million committed revolving line of credit facility. The facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the arrangement, the Fund is required to own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also requires a fee to be paid based on the amount of the commitment. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, the Fund did not have any borrowings under this facility. |
|
9. | | Proposed Reorganization: |
|
| | At a meeting held on May 6, 2009, the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. approved on behalf of The Hartford Income Allocation Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) and The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), the reorganization of the Acquired Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund (the “Reorganization”). |
|
| | Effective July 31, 2009, shares of the Acquired Fund will no longer be sold to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends) or be eligible for exchanges from other Hartford Mutual Funds. |
16
The Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. has called for a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Fund (the “Meeting”) to be held on or about September 9, 2009, for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund.
If the Reorganization Agreement is approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, the Reorganization Agreement contemplates: (1) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund that have an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund; (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; and (3) the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Each shareholder of the Acquired Fund would receive shares of the Acquiring Fund equal in value to the shares of the Acquired Fund held by that shareholder as of the closing date of the Reorganization.
A proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the Reorganization is expected to be mailed to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders in July 2009, and may also be obtained at that time by contacting The Hartford Mutual Funds at P.O. Box 64387, St. Paul, MN 55164-0387.

The Hartford Income Allocation Fund
Expense Example (Unaudited)
Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period of October 31, 2008 through April 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses
The first column of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second set of columns of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

THE HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS
2009 Semi-Annual Report
The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
First and foremost, thank you for choosing The Hartford Mutual Funds.
My team and I realize the past year has been an extremely turbulent one for all investors. That’s why we’re even more honored that you’ve trusted our fund family to help you meet your investing needs.
The beginning of 2009 saw a continuation of the persistent volatility that defined the second half of 2008. Despite the rocky start, a cautious optimism began to surface when some stock indices started to show signs of life in March.
Although the outlook for the economy remains uncertain—as it often has been—I believe that the market environment will eventually improve, and that a long-awaited recovery will ultimately bring with it opportunities for growth.
In the meantime, you might do well to schedule an appointment with your financial professional—especially if the astonishingly high levels of volatility that we’ve experienced have left you wondering if your financial plan is still on track.
Alongside your financial professional, you can determine if your portfolio is adequately diversified, or if you need to adjust your investment strategy in order to help meet your long-term goals.
Volatility has caused investors considerable discomfort during the past year. But no matter what market challenges we may face, you can be certain that The Hartford Mutual Funds’ commitment to you remains unchanged—to provide you with the outstanding investments and service that you have come to expect from us.
Robert Arena

How did the Fund perform?
The Class A shares of The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund returned 6.32%, before sales charge, for the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index which returned 7.74%, and the 5.96% average return of the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Funds category, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Risk premiums (the additional compensation paid to investors to tolerate the increased level of risk in a given asset class relative to Treasuries) saw a slight recovery in the beginning of 2009 as the government announced several initiatives to support financial and consumer credit markets. Such programs included the expansion of Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility (TALF) and the introduction of the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP), which is designed to remove toxic assets from banks’ balance sheets. Highly rated securities in the asset backed securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) sectors benefited from this government action, while investment grade financial debt continued to underperform as the fate of the banking sector remained uncertain.
The Federal Open Market Committee (the “Fed”) continued to target the overnight Fed funds rate at just above 0%. This accommodative policy kept short maturity Treasury yields low. Longer maturity Treasury yields declined by year end then rose over the January to April time frame. The funding requirements of the government have grown with the introduction of additional stimulus programs and excess supply concerns pushed Treasury yields higher. The concern over excess supply was partially offset with the announcement that the Treasury would purchase these
2
securities outright, but the supply/ demand imbalance uncertainty remained. Moreover, concerns of current stimulus leading to future inflation left many market participants backing away from longer duration (i.e. sensitivity to changes in interest rates) securities. As a result, the curve steepened (i.e. short and long term interest rates moved farther apart).
The Fund’s positioning in ABS detracted from performance for the period. The Fund had a small exposure to home equity loans which were the worst performer in the sector as delinquencies and foreclosures continued to rise into 2009. Also detracting from performance was a small allocation to non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations.
Positive drivers of performance included allocations to investment grade utilities and industrials. Allocations to these sectors grew to significant overweights (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) early in 2009 and Fund performance benefited from the eventual spread contraction. Security selection within these sectors was also beneficial as many of the additions to the sector came from selective participation in new issues. However investment grade subordinate financials remained weak and the Fund’s positioning in these securities detracted from overall performance.
Despite worsening economic data and increasing default rates, the high yield market rallied significantly in the beginning of 2009. An out-of-benchmark allocation to the high yield sector was the top contributor of performance for the period.
What is the outlook?
Risk premiums across most asset classes reversed course and began to contract as conditions improved and volatility declined. An onslaught of government policy, from fiscal stimulus to quantitative easing, was the primary catalyst and buyers of historically inexpensive corporate debt emerged as more market participants recognized relative value versus equities. Although risk premiums have come off their historical peak, spreads remain significantly wider (i.e. short and long term interest rates farther apart) than in prior recessions.
Government actions have significantly increased the attractiveness of select ABS and CMBS. Although these asset classes still face a precarious fundamental environment, the pricing at the top of the capital structure in many of these investments is indicative of an environment far worse than what we expect. Moreover, recognizing the importance of these markets, the government has initiated policy to facilitate a broader buyer base and investor interest. The TALF and the PPIP programs will likely contribute to continued spread tightening (i.e. short and long term interest rates moving closer together) as these plans are further implemented.
The U.S. Treasury yield curve is expected to remain in a limited range in the near term. We expect the economy to remain weak through the rest of the year.
At a meeting held on May 6, 2009, the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. approved on behalf of The Hartford Income Allocation Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) and The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), the reorganization of the Acquired Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Effective July 31, 2009, shares of the Acquired Fund will no longer be sold to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends) or be eligible for exchanges from other Hartford Mutual Funds.
The Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. has called for a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Fund (the “Meeting”) to be held on or about September 9, 2009, for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund.

s | | Senior floating rate interests in which the Fund invests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States Banks, or (iii) the bank’s certificate of deposit rate. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The interest rate is the rate in effect at April 30, 2009. |

The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
(000’s Omitted)
1. | | Organization: |
|
| | The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (“Company”) is an open-end management investment company comprised of fifty-two portfolios. Financial statements for The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Company, are included in this report. |
|
| | The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. |
|
| | Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which is assessed on the lesser of the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the shares at the time of redemption or the original purchase price, and declines from up to 5.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% on shares redeemed within twelve months of purchase. Class I shares are sold without sales charges to certain eligible investors through advisory fee-based wrap programs. Classes R3, R4, R5 shares, which are offered to employer-sponsored retirement plans, and Class Y shares, which are sold to certain eligible institutional investors, are sold without a sales charge. All classes of shares have identical voting, redemption, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, with the exceptions that each class may have different expenses, which may affect performance, and except that Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. |
|
| | Effective at the close of business on September 30, 2009 (the “Close Date”), no new or additional investments will be allowed in Class B shares of The Hartford Mutual Funds (including investments through any systematic investment plan). After the Close Date, existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to hold their Class B shares, exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of another Hartford Mutual Fund (as permitted by existing exchange privileges), and redeem their Class B shares as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Reinstatement privileges with respect to Class B shares will continue under the current policy. If you have chosen to reinvest capital gains and dividends, any such capital gains or dividends on Class B shares will continue to be reinvested in Class B shares of the Fund. For Class B shares outstanding as of the Close Date, all Class B share attributes, including the 12b-1 fee, contingent deferred sales charge schedule, and conversion to Class A shares remain unchanged. |
|
2. | | Significant Accounting Policies: |
|
| | The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund, which are in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). |
| a) | | Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost. |
|
| | | Trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior floating rate loan interests purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into. |
|
| | | Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis. |
|
| b) | | Security Valuation — The Fund generally uses market prices in valuing portfolio securities. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, the Fund will use the fair value of the security as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors. Market prices may be deemed unreliable, for example, if a security is thinly traded or if an event has occurred after the close of the security’s primary markets, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, referred to as the “Valuation Time”) that is expected to affect the value of the portfolio security. The |
18
| | | circumstances in which the Fund may use fair value pricing include, among others: (i) the occurrence of events that are significant to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructuring or defaults; (ii) the occurrence of events that are significant to an entire market, such as natural disasters in a particular region or governmental actions; (iii) trading restrictions on securities; (iv) thinly traded securities and (v) market events such as trading halts and early market closings. |
|
| | | Debt securities (other than short-term obligations and senior floating rate interests) held by the Fund are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units of debt securities. Senior floating rate interests generally trade in over-the-counter markets and are priced through an independent pricing service utilizing independent market quotations from loan dealers or financial institutions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Generally, the Fund may use fair valuation in regard to debt securities when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed securities or securities in a company in which a reorganization is pending. Short-term investments with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased are valued based on market quotations until the remaining days to maturity become less than 61 days. Investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. |
|
| | | Options contracts on securities, currencies, indexes, futures contracts, commodities and other instruments shall be valued at their most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on the Primary Market on which the instrument is primarily traded. If the instrument did not trade on the Primary Market, it may be valued at the most recent sales price at the Valuation Time on another exchange or market where it did trade. |
|
| | | Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. If a settlement price is not available, futures contracts will be valued at the most recent trade price as of the Valuation Time. If there were no trades, the contract shall be valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask prices as of the Valuation Time. |
|
| | | Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in securities in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. |
|
| | | A forward currency contract shall be valued based on the price of the underlying currency at the prevailing interpolated exchange rate, which is a combination of the spot currency rate and the forward currency rate. Spot currency rates and forward currency rates are obtained from an independent pricing service on a daily basis not more than one hour before the Valuation Time. |
|
| | | Swaps are valued based on custom valuations furnished by an independent pricing service. Swaps for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service are valued in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. |
|
| | | Other derivative or contractual type instruments shall be valued using market prices if such instruments trade on an exchange or market. If such instruments do not trade on an exchange or market, such instruments shall be valued at a price at which the counterparty to such contract would repurchase the instrument. In the event that the counterparty cannot provide a price, such valuation may be determined in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. |

| c) | | Foreign Currency Transactions — The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. |
|
| | | The Fund does not isolate that portion of portfolio security valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the accompanying financial statements. |
|
| | | Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies and the difference between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates. |
|
| d) | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend its securities to certain qualified brokers who pay the Fund negotiated lender fees. The loans are fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or U.S. Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements. The cash collateral is then invested in short-term money market instruments. The repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Government Securities. The adequacy of the collateral for securities on loan is monitored on a daily basis. For instances where the market value of collateral falls below the market value of the securities out on loan, such collateral is supplemented on the following business day. |
|
| | | While securities are on loan, the Fund is subject to the following risks: 1) that the borrower may default on the loan and that the collateral could be inadequate in the event the borrower defaults, 2) that the earnings on the collateral invested may not be sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan, 3) that the principal value of the collateral invested may decline and may not be sufficient to pay back the borrower for the amount of the collateral posted, 4) that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale which may place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities, 5) that return of loaned securities could be delayed and could interfere with portfolio management decisions and 6) that any efforts to recall the securities for purposes of voting a proxy may not be effective. The Fund had no securities out on loan as of April 30, 2009. |
|
| e) | | Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account managed by Hartford Investment Management Company (“Hartford Investment Management”). These balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments. |
|
| f) | | Repurchase Agreements — A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually agreed upon time and price. At the time the Fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies), including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities that serve to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by the Fund’s custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial account of the Fund or in a third party custodial account. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of April 30, 2009. |
|
| g) | | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts that obligate the Fund to repurchase/replace or sell currencies at specified future dates. Forward foreign currency contracts may be used to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies. |
|
| | | Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the |
20
| | | counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. |
|
| h) | | Indexed Securities — The Fund may invest in indexed securities whose values are linked to changes in interest rates, indices, or other underlying instruments. The Fund uses these securities to increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in using conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment and there may be a limit to the potential appreciation of the investment. The Fund had no investments in indexed securities as of April 30, 2009. |
|
| i) | | Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Orders for the Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the shareholders. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of each business day of the Exchange. The NAV is determined separately for each class of the Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of the Fund’s shares prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on which the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV. |
|
| | | The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders no less frequently than once a year. Normally, dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends are paid on shares beginning on the business day after the day when the funds used to purchase the shares are collected by the transfer agent for the Fund. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, all dividends will be automatically reinvested in additional full or fractional shares of the Fund. |
|
| | | Distributions from net investment income, realized capital gains and capital are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing. These differences include but are not limited to foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales adjustments, adjustments related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies and certain derivatives, and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Fund’s capital accounts (see Federal Income Taxes: Reclassification of Capital Accounts footnote). |
|
| j) | | Illiquid and Restricted Securities — The Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. “Illiquid Securities” are those that may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days, at approximately the price used to determine the Fund’s NAV. The Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities or other investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such securities or investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the securities or investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid securities or other investments may require more time and may result in higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of those that are liquid. Illiquid securities and investments also may be more difficult to value, due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such securities or investments, and investment in them may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities, commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. The Fund, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, had illiquid or restricted securities as of April 30, 2009. |
|
| k) | | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis — Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a forward commitment, or when-issued or delayed-delivery basis take place beyond the customary settlement period. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations, and the Fund identifies securities segregated in its records with value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. As of April 30, 2009, the Fund had entered into outstanding when-issued or forward commitments with a cost of $1,059. |

The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
April 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
(000’s Omitted)
| l) | | Credit Risk — Credit risk depends largely on the perceived financial health of bond issuers. In general, the credit rating is inversely related to the credit risk of the issuer. Higher rated bonds generally are deemed to have less credit risk, while lower or unrated bonds are deemed to have higher risk of default. The share price, yield and total return of a Fund which holds securities with higher credit risk may fluctuate more than with less aggressive bond funds. |
|
| m) | | Senior Floating Rate Interests — The Fund, as shown in the Schedule of Investments, may invest in senior floating rate interests. Senior floating rate interests hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured by specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. Senior floating rate interests are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the senior floating rate interest. Senior floating rate interests are typically rated below-investment-grade, which suggests they are more likely to default and generally pay higher interest rates than investment-grade loans. A default could lead to non-payment of income which would result in a reduction of income to the Fund and there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. |
|
| n) | | Prepayment Risks — Most senior floating rate interests and certain debt securities allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Senior floating rate interests and securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. In addition, with respect to securities, rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower than expected rate, thereby effectively lengthening the maturity of the security and making the security more sensitive to interest rate changes. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities and certain asset-backed securities. Accordingly, the potential for the value of a senior floating rate interest or debt security to increase in response to interest rate declines is limited. For certain asset-backed securities, the actual maturity may be less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments. As a result, the timing of income recognition relating to these securities may vary based upon the actual maturity. |
|
| | | Senior floating rate interests or debt securities purchased to replace a prepaid loan or a debt security may have lower yields than the yield on the prepaid loan or debt security. Senior floating rate interests generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for the Borrower to repay, prepayments of senior floating rate interests may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior floating rate interests held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown in the Schedule of Investments. |
|
| o) | | Swaps — The Fund may enter into event linked swaps, including credit default swaps. The credit default swap market allows the Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, an index, or a basket of issuers. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. A “seller’s” exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract. A Fund will generally not buy protection on issuers that are not currently held by such Fund. |
|
| | | The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate multiplied by a “notional principal amount,” in return for payments equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the same amount, for a specific period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as well. Swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment rates. The Fund had no outstanding swaps as of April 30, 2009. |
|
| p) | | Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial |
22
| | | statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management’s estimates. |
|
| q) | | Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 — Effective November 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Under FAS 157, a fair value measurement should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance. |
|
| | | Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investment. These inputs are summarized, per FAS 157, into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are: |
| • | | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 1 includes exchange-traded instruments such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, ETF’s, and rights and warrants. |
|
| • | | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the security. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and that are valued using third party pricing services and foreign equities, whose value is determined using a multi-factor regression model with inputs that are observable in the market; and money market instruments, which are carried at amortized cost. |
|
| • | | Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Level 3 includes financial instruments whose values are determined using broker quotes and require significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes broker quoted securities, long dated OTC options and securities where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these securities are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these securities reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a good representation of exit price. |
| | | Individual securities within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than those presented above, as individual circumstances dictate. |
|
| | | FAS 157 also requires that a roll forward reconciliation be shown for all Level 3 securities from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period. Part of this reconciliation includes transfers in and/or out of Level 3. For purposes of this reconciliation, transfers in are shown at the end of period fair value and transfers out are shown at the beginning of period fair value. |
|
| | | Refer to the valuation hierarchy levels summary and the Level 3 roll forward reconciliation found following the Schedule of Investments. |
|
| | | FASB Staff Position No. 157-4 — In April 2009, FASB released FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on determining whether a market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed when measuring fair value under FAS 157. The FSP also requires additional disclosure detail on debt and equity securities by major investment categories. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP FAS 157-4 and does not believe it will impact valuation but will require additional disclosure. This additional disclosure has not yet been implemented. |

| r) | | Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 — In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires companies to disclose information detailing the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the level of derivative activity entered into by the company and any credit risk-related contingent features of the agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and has not yet implemented the new disclosure standard. |
|
| s) | | Indemnifications: Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent required or permitted under Maryland General Corporation Law and the federal securities law. In addition, the Company, on behalf of the Fund, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. |
| | | Futures and Options Transactions — The Fund may invest in futures and options contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date. When the Fund enters into such futures contracts, it is required to deposit with a futures commission merchant an amount of “initial margin” of cash, commercial paper or U.S. Treasury Bills. Subsequent payments, called variation margin, to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e., mark-to-market), which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund. |
|
| | | At any time prior to the expiration of the futures contract, the Fund may close the position by taking an opposite position, which would effectively terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to the Fund and the Fund realizes a gain or loss. |
|
| | | The use of futures contracts involves elements of market risk, which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of the futures contracts may decrease the effectiveness of the Fund’s strategy and potentially result in loss. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding futures contracts as of April 30, 2009. |
|
| | | The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options to reflect the current market value of the option as of the end of the reporting period. |
|
| | | The Fund may write (sell) covered options. “Covered” means that so long as the Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the underlying securities or currency or an option to purchase or sell the same underlying securities or currency having an expiration date of the covered option and an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the covered option, or will pledge cash or other liquid securities having a value equal to or greater than the fluctuating market value of the option securities or currencies. The Fund receives a premium for writing a call or put option, which is recorded on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently “marked-to-market” through net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options. There is a risk of loss from a change in the value of such options, which may exceed the related premiums received. As of April 30, 2009, there were no outstanding written options contracts. |
| a) | | Federal Income Taxes — For federal income tax purposes, the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) by distributing substantially all of its |
24
| | | taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated investment companies. The Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years and the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2009. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
|
| b) | | The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund for the periods indicated is as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable): |
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the Year Ended | | For the Year Ended |
| | October 31, 2008 | | October 31, 2007 |
Ordinary Income | | $ | 70,069 | | | $ | 47,180 | |
| | | As of October 31, 2008, the Fund’s components of distributable earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows: |
| | | | |
| | Amount | |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | $ | 14,050 | |
Accumulated Capital Losses* | | $ | (40,165 | ) |
Unrealized Depreciation† | | $ | (187,713 | ) |
| | | |
Total Accumulated Deficit | | $ | (213,828 | ) |
| | | |
| | |
* | | The Fund has capital loss carryforwards that are identified in the Capital Loss Carryforward note that follows. |
|
† | | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are attributable to the tax deferral of wash sales losses, the mark-to-market adjustment for certain derivatives in accordance with IRC Sec. 1256, the mark to market for Passive Foreign Investment Companies and basis differences in real estate investment trusts. |
| c) | | Reclassification of Capital Accounts — In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, the Fund has recorded reclassifications in its capital accounts. These reclassifications had no impact on the NAV of the Fund. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between GAAP and tax accounting for such items as net operating losses that reduce distribution requirements. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as from net investment income, from net realized gains on investments or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. As of October 31, 2008, the Fund recorded reclassifications to increase undistributed net investment income by $7,365 and decrease accumulated net realized loss by $7,365. |
|
| d) | | Capital Loss Carryforward — At October 31, 2008 (tax-year-end), the Fund had capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately: |
| | | | |
Year | | Amount | |
2014 | | $ | 8,509 | |
2016 | | | 31,656 | |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 40,165 | |
| | | |
| e) | | Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 — On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how |
25
The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements — (continued)
April 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
(000’s Omitted)
| | | uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The Fund adopted FIN 48 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated the implications of FIN 48 for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2006 – 2008) and has determined there is no impact to the Fund’s financial statements. |
| a) | | Investment Management Agreements — Hartford Investment Financial Services, LLC (“HIFSCO”) serves as investment manager to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. As investment manager, HIFSCO has overall investment supervisory responsibility for the Fund. In addition, HIFSCO provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of the Fund. HIFSCO has contracted with Hartford Investment Management for the provision of day-to-day investment management services to the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Fund pays a fee to HIFSCO, a portion of which may be used to compensate Hartford Investment Management. |
|
| | | The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to HIFSCO for investment management services rendered during the six-month period ended April 30, 2009; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly: |
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Fee |
On first $500 million | | | 0.550 | % |
On next $500 million | | | 0.525 | % |
On next $4 billion | | | 0.500 | % |
On next $5 billion | | | 0.480 | % |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.470 | % |
| b) | | Accounting Services Agreement — Pursuant to the Fund Accounting Agreement between Hartford Life Insurance Company (“HLIC”) and the Fund, HLIC provides accounting services to the Fund and receives monthly compensation on the Fund’s average net assets. The Fund’s accounting service fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. |
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Fee |
On first $5 billion | | | 0.018 | % |
On next $5 billion | | | 0.016 | % |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.014 | % |
| c) | | Operating Expenses — Allocable expenses incurred by the Company are allocated to each Fund and allocated to classes within the Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of the Fund and each class, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to the Fund or to specific classes within a Fund. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, HIFSCO has permanently limited the total operating expenses of this Fund, exclusive of taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, certain distribution expenses and extraordinary expenses as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | Class I | | Class R3 | | Class R4 | | Class R5 | | Class Y |

26
| d) | | Fees Paid Indirectly — The Fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the Fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, this amount is included in the Statement of Operations. |
|
| | | The ratio of expenses to average net assets in the accompanying financial highlights excludes the reduction in expenses related to fees paid indirectly. Had the fees paid indirectly been included, the annualized expense ratio for the periods listed below would have been as follows: |

HIFSCO is engaged in distribution activities, which include marketing and distribution of shares through broker-dealers, financing distribution costs and maintaining financial books and records. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, HIFSCO received front-end load sales charges of $2,026 and contingent deferred sales charges of $109 from the Fund. |
|
| | | The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to compensate the distributor (HIFSCO) for activities intended to result in the sale and distribution of Classes A, B, C, R3 and R4 shares and for providing services for shareholders. The Rule 12b-1 plan applicable to Class A shares of the Funds provides for payment of a Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 0.35% of average daily net assets; however, the Board of Directors has currently authorized 12b-1 payments of only up to 0.25%. Some or all of the fee may be used for shareholder servicing expenses with the remainder used for distribution expenses. Some or the entire Rule 12b-1 fee for Class B shares may be remitted to broker-dealers for distribution and/or shareholder account services. Under the Class B Plan, the Fund pays the distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares that are outstanding for 8 years or less, 0.25% of which is a fee for services provided to existing shareholders with the remainder used for distribution expenses. After eight years, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Upon conversion to Class A shares, the Class A plan described above will apply to those shares. Under the Class C Plan, the Fund pays the distributor 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares outstanding, 0.25% of which is intended as a fee for services provided to existing shareholders with the remainder used for distribution expenses. For Class C shares, some or the entire fee may be remitted to broker-dealers for distribution and/or shareholder account services. Class R3 shares have a distribution fee of 0.50% and Class R4 shares have a distribution fee of 0.25%. For Classes R3 and R4 shares, some or the entire fee may be remitted to broker dealers for distribution and/or shareholder account services. The Fund’s 12b-1 fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. |

10. | | Proposed Reorganization: |
|
| | At a meeting held on May 6, 2009, the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. approved on behalf of The Hartford Income Allocation Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) and The Hartford Total Return Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), the reorganization of the Acquired Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund (the “Reorganization”). |
|
| | Effective July 31, 2009, shares of the Acquired Fund will no longer be sold to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends) or be eligible for exchanges from other Hartford Mutual Funds. |
|
| | The Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. has called for a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Fund (the “Meeting”) to be held on or about September 9, 2009, for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund. |
|
| | If the Reorganization Agreement is approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, the Reorganization Agreement contemplates: (1) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund that have an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund; (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; and (3) the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Each shareholder of the Acquired Fund would receive shares of the Acquiring Fund equal in value to the shares of the Acquired Fund held by that shareholder as of the closing date of the Reorganization. |
|
| | A proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the Reorganization is expected to be mailed to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders in July 2009, and may also be obtained at that time by contacting The Hartford Mutual Funds at P.O. Box 64387, St. Paul, MN 55164-0387. |

Expense Example (Unaudited)
Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the period of October 31, 2008 through April 30, 2009.
Actual Expenses
The first column of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second set of columns of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and CDSC. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
