A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholders:

Thank you for investing in Hartford Multifactor Mutual Funds. The following is the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report for the period from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.

Market Review

During the six months ended March 31, 2021, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,¹ gained 19.07%. The strong returns for the period reflect a growing belief

among investors that the worst days of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may soon be behind us, and that a sustained period of global economic growth seems within reach.

Optimism was often hard to sustain during the difficult months of 2020. The six-month period covered in this report followed many months of soaring unemployment, business lockdowns, face-mask requirements, and social-distancing measures. Governments around the world, including here in the U.S., averted further economic disruption by providing unprecedented levels of monetary and fiscal support.

November 2020 marked the resolution of a contentious U.S. presidential election, which was seen as a positive for markets. During the same month, there came the pivotal announcements that a pair of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines were ready for FDA approval – providing hope that a significant corner in the battle against the virus had been turned.

In late December of 2020, the U.S. Congress passed a major $900 billion pandemic relief bill. For its part, the U.S. Federal Reserve continued to maintain its ongoing policy of near-zero interest rates.

A winter resurgence of COVID-19 infections touched off a wave of new hospitalizations and deaths – more than 500,000 lives lost by March. New viral variants from the United Kingdom and South Africa took root in the U.S., threatening to prolong the pandemic despite a rise in vaccination rates. Nonetheless, by the end of the period, over 165 million COVID-19 vaccine doses had been distributed in the United States.²

Meanwhile, Congress fast-tracked approval of the Biden administration’s proposed $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package. A proposal for an additional $2 trillion in infrastructure spending soon followed. As investors digested the blizzard of new policy initiatives, rates on bellwether 10-year Treasuries rose to nearly 1.75% in mid-March, triggering a new round of market volatility and a fierce debate over a possible return of inflation.

As vaccinations continue to ramp up in the U.S. and abroad, we’re cautiously allowing ourselves to imagine the return of family barbecues, baseball games, re-opened schools, and indoor dining – in a word, normalcy. As we move past the pandemic, it’s still vitally important to maintain a strong relationship with a financial professional, who can confidently guide you through shifting markets while helping you find a good fit within our family of funds.

Thank you again for investing in Hartford Multifactor Mutual Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our complete selection of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

PERFORMANCE DATA QUOTED REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The table does not reflect the deductions of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website hartfordfunds.com.

Total returns presented above were calculated using the Fund’s net asset value available to shareholders for sale or redemption of Fund shares on 03/31/2021, which may exclude investment transactions as of this date. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses.

Total returns for the report period presented in the table may differ from the return in the Financial Highlights. The total return presented in the Financial Highlights section of the reports is calculated in the same manner, but also takes into account certain adjustments that are necessary under generally accepted accounting principles.

You cannot invest directly in an index.

See “Benchmark Glossary” for benchmark descriptions.

Performance information may reflect historical or current expense waivers/reimbursements without which performance would have been lower. For more information on current expense waivers/reimbursements, please see the prospectus.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, if any, and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 entire period of October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. To the extent a Fund was subject to acquired fund fees and expenses during the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratios below.

Actual Expenses

The first set of columns of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 The 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 a 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 a 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. Therefore, the second set of columns 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 for a class of a Fund are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Hartford Multifactor Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

1.	Organization:

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end registered management investment company comprised of fourteen series as of March 31, 2021. Financial statements for the series of the Company listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report.

The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc.:

Hartford Multifactor International Fund (the “Multifactor International Fund”)

Hartford Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund (the “Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund”)

The Funds commenced operations on May 31, 2019. Each Fund has registered for sale Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class Y and Class F shares. These classes of shares do not have a sales charge.

The assets of each Fund are separate and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Each Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

2.	Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of each Fund used in the preparation of its financial statements, which are in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Determination of Net Asset Value – The net asset value (“NAV”) of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the Exchange is open (“Valuation Date”). If the Exchange is closed due to weather or other extraordinary circumstances on a day it would typically be open for business, each Fund may treat such day as a typical business day and accept purchase and redemption orders and calculate each Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The NAV of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to a class of shares by the number of shares outstanding for that class. Information that becomes known to the Funds after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively adjust the NAV determined earlier that day.

Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements – For purposes of calculating the NAV of each class of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in a Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official close price or last reported trade price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers (including evaluated prices), or independent pricing services. Pricing vendors may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, general market conditions, news, and other factors and assumptions.

If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) (“Valuation Procedures”). Market prices are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of a Fund’s portfolio holdings or assets. In addition, market prices are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities or other instruments trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. Fair value pricing is subjective in nature and the use of fair value pricing by a 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 holding is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.

Prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets will generally be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments in which a Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund.

Hartford Multifactor Funds

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) held by a Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.

Exchange-traded derivatives, such as options, futures and options on futures, are valued at the last sale price determined by the exchange where such instruments principally trade as of the close of such exchange (“Exchange Close”). If a last sale price is not available, the value will be the mean of the most recently quoted bid and ask prices as of the Exchange Close. If a mean of the bid and ask prices cannot be calculated for the day, the value will be the most recently quoted bid price as of the Exchange Close. Over-the-counter derivatives are normally valued based on prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using the prevailing spot currency exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities or other instruments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the Exchange is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of a Fund.

Foreign currency contracts represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. Foreign currency contracts are valued using foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates as provided by an independent pricing service on the Valuation Date.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, if any, are valued at the respective NAV of each open-end mutual fund on the Valuation Date. Shares of investment companies listed and traded on an exchange are valued in the same manner as any exchange-listed equity security. Such open-end mutual funds and listed investment companies may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses.

Financial instruments for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the respective financial instrument in accordance with the Valuation Procedures established by the Board of Directors.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a fair value hierarchy for each major category of assets and liabilities. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized 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 investments. Level 1 may include exchange traded instruments, such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, rights and warrants.

•

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar investments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 may include debt investments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments and which are valued using independent pricing services; foreign equities, which are principally traded on certain foreign markets and are adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close; senior floating rate interests, which are valued using an aggregate of dealer bids; short-term investments, which are valued at amortized cost; and swaps, which are valued based upon the terms of each swap contract.

•

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are supported by limited or no market activity. Level 3 may include financial instruments whose values are determined using indicative market quotes or require significant management judgment or estimation. These unobservable valuation inputs may include estimates for current yields, maturity/duration, prepayment speed, and indicative market quotes for comparable investments along with other assumptions relating to credit quality, collateral value, complexity of the investment structure, general market conditions and liquidity. This category may include investments where trading has been halted or there are certain restrictions on trading. While these investments are priced using unobservable inputs, the valuation of these investments reflects the best available data and management believes the prices are a reasonable representation of exit price.

The Board of Directors has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures to the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of such Fund’s sub-adviser, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Valuation levels are not necessarily indicative of the risk associated with investing in such investments. Individual investments within any of the above mentioned asset classes may be assigned a different hierarchical level than those presented above, as individual circumstances dictate.

For additional information, refer to the Fair Value Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follows each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Investments purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Dividend income from domestic securities is accrued on the ex-dividend date. In general, dividend income from foreign securities is recorded on the ex-date; however, dividend notifications in certain foreign jurisdictions may not be available in a timely manner and as a result, a Fund will record the dividend as soon as the relevant details (i.e., rate per share, payment date, shareholders of record, etc.) are publicly available. Interest income, including amortization of premium, accretion of discounts and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis.

Please refer to Note 7 for Securities Lending information.

Taxes – A Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which such Fund invests. A Fund may also be subject to taxes withheld on foreign dividends and interest from securities in which a Fund invests. The amount of any foreign taxes withheld and foreign tax expense is included on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a reduction to dividend or interest income on investments in these securities, if applicable.

Foreign Currency Transactions – Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the Valuation Date. Purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions.

A Fund does not isolate that portion of portfolio investment valuation resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments held. Exchange rate 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.

Joint Trading Account – A Fund may invest cash balances into a joint trading account that may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements.

Fund Share Valuation and Dividend Distributions to Shareholders – Orders for each class of each Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the shareholders. The NAV of each class of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of business on each business day of the Exchange (see Note 2(a)). The NAV is determined separately for each class of shares of a Fund by dividing the Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of the class outstanding. Each class of shares offered by a Fund has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges (except that shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares). Income and non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class on the basis of the relative net assets of the class of the Fund. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of shares of each Fund.

Orders for the purchase of a Fund’s shares received prior to the close of the Exchange on any day the Exchange is open for business are priced at the NAV determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received after the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the Funds are not open for business, are priced at the next determined NAV.

Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of the Multifactor International Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income semi-annually and realized gains, if any, at least once a year. The policy of the Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized gains, if any, at least once a year.

Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP with respect to character and timing.

3.	Securities and Other Investments:

Restricted Securities – Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if applicable, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

4.	Principal Risks:

A Fund’s investments expose it to various types of risks associated with financial instruments and the markets. A Fund may be exposed to the risks described below. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of its principal risks.

The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related derivative investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of equity securities may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

A widespread health crisis, such as a global pandemic, could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions or restrictions and closures of securities exchanges and businesses, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and adversely impact Fund performance. The current ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, has negatively affected the worldwide economy, the financial health of individual companies and the market in significant and unforeseen ways. The future impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear. The effects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from COVID-19 pandemic may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, including exacerbating other pre-existing political, social and economic risks.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, whether directly or indirectly, involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other protectionist measures; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; and greater social, economic and political uncertainties. Non-U.S. issuers may also be affected by political, social, economic or diplomatic developments in a foreign country or region or the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions). These risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed markets.

Securities lending involves the risk that a Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. A Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for the loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund that lends its holdings.

5.	Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) 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 each year. Each Fund has distributed substantially all of its income and capital gains in prior years, if applicable, and intends to distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains during the calendar year ending December 31, 2021. 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.

Tax Basis of Investments – The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes at March 31, 2021 was substantially the same for book purposes. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments, which consists of gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, is disclosed below:


Fund	Tax Cost		Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized (Depreciation)			Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
Multifactor International Fund	$	3,016,473	$	488,926	$	(64,545	)	$	424,381
Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund		1,036,358		149,956		(6,734	)		143,222

Capital Loss Carryforward - Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period.

At September 30, 2020 (tax year end), each Fund’s capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Fund	Short-Term Capital Loss Carryforward with No Expiration		Long-Term Capital Loss Carryforward with No Expiration
Multifactor International Fund	$	126,212	$	79,270
Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund		34,297		9,240

6.	Expenses:

Investment Management Agreement – Lattice Strategies LLC (the “Investment Manager” or “Lattice”) serves as each Fund’s investment manager pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Company. Lattice is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), which is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). Lattice has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, Lattice provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of each Fund. Lattice has contracted with Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) under a sub-advisory agreement pursuant to which Mellon performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to Lattice, a portion of which may be used to compensate Mellon.

The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to Lattice for investment management services rendered as of March 31, 2021; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates:


Fund		Management Fee Rates
Multifactor International Fund		0.290% on first $1 billion and;
		0.280% over $1 billion

Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund		0.190% on first $1 billion and;
		0.180% over $1 billion

Accounting Services Agreement – HFMC provides the Funds with accounting services pursuant to a fund accounting agreement by and between the Company, on behalf of its Funds, and HFMC. HFMC has delegated certain accounting and administrative service functions to State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). In consideration of services rendered and expenses assumed pursuant to the fund accounting agreement, each Fund pays HFMC a fee. HFMC is entitled to receive the following fee with respect to each Fund: the sub-accounting fee payable by HFMC to State Street plus the amount of expenses that HFMC allocates for providing the fund accounting services.

Operating Expenses – Allocable expenses incurred by the Company are allocated to each series of the Company, and allocated to classes within each such series, in proportion to the average daily net assets of such series and classes, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made directly to a Fund or to specific classes within a Fund. As of March 31, 2021, Lattice contractually agreed to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) through January 31, 2022 as follows:


	Expense Limit as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Fund	Class R3			Class R4			Class R5			Class R6			Class Y			Class F
Multifactor International Fund		1.04	%		0.74	%		0.44	%		0.34	%		0.44	%		0.34	%
Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund		0.94	%		0.64	%		0.34	%		0.24	%		0.34	%		0.24	%

Distribution and Service Plan for Class R3 and R4 Shares – The Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a separate distribution plan (each, a “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class R3 and Class R4 shares. Under a Plan, Class R3 and Class R4 shares of a Fund, as applicable, bear distribution and/or service fees paid to Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (“HFD”), some or all of which may be paid to select broker-dealers. Pursuant to the Class R3 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R3 shares for distribution financing activities, and up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Pursuant to the Class R4 Plan, a Fund may pay HFD a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R4 shares for distribution financing activities. The entire amount of the fee may be used for shareholder account servicing activities. Each Fund’s 12b-1 fees are accrued daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine. Any 12b-1 fees attributable to assets held in an account held directly with the Funds’ transfer agent for which there is not a third party listed as the broker-dealer of record (or HFD does not otherwise have a payment obligation) are generally reimbursed to the applicable Fund.

Other Related Party Transactions – Certain officers of the Company are directors and/or officers of Lattice, HFMC and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the period ended March 31, 2021, a portion of the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer’s (“CCO”) compensation was paid by all of the investment companies in the Hartford fund complex. The portion allocated to each Fund, as represented in other expenses on the Statements of Operations, is outlined in the table below.


Fund	CCO Compensation Paid by Fund
Multifactor International Fund	$	2
Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund		1

Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford, provides transfer agent services to each Fund. Each Fund pays HASCO a transfer agency fee payable monthly based on the lesser of (i) the costs of providing or overseeing transfer agency services provided to each share class of such Fund plus a target profit margin or (ii) a Specified Amount (as defined in the table below). Such fee is intended to compensate HASCO for: (i) fees payable by HASCO to DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. (“DST”) (and any


		24

other designated sub-agent) according to the agreed-upon fee schedule under the sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and DST (or between HASCO and any other designated sub-agent, as applicable); (ii) sub-transfer agency fees payable by HASCO to financial intermediaries, according to the agreed-upon terms between HASCO and the financial intermediaries, provided that such payments are within certain limits approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; (iii) certain expenses that HASCO’s parent company, Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc., allocates to HASCO that relate to HASCO’s transfer agency services provided to the Fund; and (iv) a target profit margin.


Share Class	Specified Amount (as a percentage average daily net assets)
Class R3		0.22	%
Class R4		0.17	%
Class R5		0.12	%
Class R6		0.004	%
Class Y		0.11	%
Class F		0.004	%

Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between HASCO and DST, HASCO has delegated certain transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent functions to DST. Each Fund does not pay any fee directly to DST; rather, HASCO makes all such payments to DST. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

For the period ended March 31, 2021, the effective rate of compensation paid to HASCO for transfer agency services as a percentage of each Class’ average daily net assets is as follows:


Fund	Class R3			Class R4			Class R5			Class R6			Class Y			Class F
Multifactor International Fund		0.16	%		0.12	%		0.01	%		0.00	%		0.02	%		0.00	%
Multifactor Large Cap Value Fund		0.11	%		0.11	%		0.06	%		0.00	%		0.06	%		0.00	%

7.	Securities Lending:

The Company has entered into a securities lending agency agreement (“lending agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). A Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain borrowers in U.S. and non-U.S. markets in an amount not to exceed one-third (33 1/3%) of the value of its total assets. If a Fund security is on loan, under the lending agreement, the borrower is required to deposit cash or liquid securities as collateral at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities; and cash collateral is invested for the benefit of the Fund by the Fund’s lending agent pursuant to collateral investment guidelines. The collateral is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned.

A Fund is subject to certain risks while its securities are on loan, including the following: (i) the risk that the borrower defaults on the loan and the collateral is inadequate to cover the Fund’s loss; (ii) the risk that the earnings on the collateral invested are not sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan; (iii) the Fund could lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral; (iv) the risk that the borrower may use the loaned securities to cover a short sale, which may in turn place downward pressure on the market prices of the loaned securities; (v) the risk that return of loaned securities could be delayed and interfere with portfolio management decisions; and (vi) the risk that any efforts to restrict or recall the securities for purposes of voting may not be effective. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.

The Funds retain loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Investment Income from securities lending. The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Investment Income from dividends or interest, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

Line of Credit:

Each Fund participates in a committed line of credit pursuant to a credit agreement dated March 4, 2021. Each Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes. The Funds (together with certain other Hartford Funds) may borrow up to $350 million in the aggregate, subject to asset coverage and other limitations specified in the credit agreement. The interest rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility also charges a commitment fee, which is allocated ratably by assets based on a Fund’s actual net assets if the Fund has net assets of less than or equal to $1.17 billion and if a Fund has net assets greater than $1.17 billion, based on the notional asset level of $1.17 billion. During and as of the six-month period ended March 31, 2021, none of the Funds had borrowings under this facility.

13.

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 federal securities laws. In addition, the Company, on behalf of each Fund, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

14.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:

On November 6, 2019, the Company dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the issuance of EY’s report on the Funds’ financial statements as of and for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2019. EY’s report on the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2019 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was EY’s report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds’ fiscal period ended on September 30, 2019 and through November 26, 2019 (the “Covered Period”), (i) there were no disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Funds’ financial statements for the Covered Period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On November 6, 2019, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. The selection of PwC does not reflect any disagreements with or dissatisfaction by the Company or the Board of Directors with the performance of the Funds’ prior independent registered public accounting firm, EY. During the Covered Period, neither the Funds, nor anyone on their behalf, consulted with PwC on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

15.

Subsequent Events:

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the period ended March 31, 2021, events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2021, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure.

Effective May 1, 2021, the fund accounting fee schedule as set forth in the fund accounting agreement by and between the Company, on behalf of the Funds, and HFMC, was revised. Effective May 1, 2021, the fund accounting fee for each Fund shall equal the greater of: (A) the sum of (i) the sub-accounting fee payable by HFMC with respect to the Fund; (ii) the fee payable for tax preparation services for the Fund; and (iii) the amount of expenses that HFMC allocates for providing the fund accounting services to the Fund; plus a target profit margin; or (B) $40,000 per year; provided, however, that to the extent the annual amount of the fund accounting fee exceeds 0.02% of the Fund’s average net assets (calculated during its current fiscal year), HFMC shall waive such portion of the fund accounting fee.
