2013 Semi Annual Report

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for investing in the Hartford HLS Funds.

Market Review

During the first half of the year, stocks rose steadily. U.S. equities (as represented by the S&P 500 Index¹) posted a strong gain of 10.61% during the first quarter, on their way to an all-time high. During the second quarter, investors persevered through volatility surrounding rumors of the rollback of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing (QE) program later this year, and the S&P 500 Index rose 2.91%. That brought the market’s rise to 13.82% for the first half of 2013. The rumors about QE’s end sent bond yields and mortgage rates upward, but that wasn’t enough to dissuade investors from pushing equities into positive territory.

Because of QE, some have expressed concerns regarding the recent market rally. But a more careful examination of economic data reveals a strong foundation. Consumer balance sheets have improved since the financial crisis, with consumer debt as a percentage of income falling steadily. Housing continued its dogged recovery, fueled by population growth and pent-up demand. In fact, it’s substantive economic improvements that have moved Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to consider removing the “training wheels” of QE, which we think should be viewed as a vote of confidence in the U.S. economy going forward.

As the U.S. outlook continues to improve, concerns do remain in the global economy. Emerging markets have lagged due to social unrest and rising inflation. Slowing growth in China is clouding global growth forecasts, but it’s important to remember that China still boasts 7.5% annual GDP growth.

It’s important to stay abreast of domestic and international economic developments while balancing your individual investment goals. Meeting with your financial advisor on a regular basis to examine your current investment strategy can help you determine whether you are on the right track:

•

Is your portfolio fully diversified with an appropriate mix of stocks and bonds?

•

Is your fixed-income portfolio positioned to take advantage of opportunities across the credit spectrum and fulfill your income needs?

•

Is your portfolio still in line with your risk tolerance and investment time horizon?

Your financial professional can help you choose options within our fund family to navigate today’s markets with confidence.

Thank you again for investing with the Hartford HLS Funds.

James Davey

President

Manager Discussion

June 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Managers
Michael T. Carmen, CFA	Stephen Mortimer	Mario E. Abularach, CFA
Senior Vice President and Equity Portfolio Manager	Senior Vice President and Equity Portfolio Manager	Senior Vice President and Equity Research Analyst

How did the Fund perform?

The Class IA shares of the Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund returned 12.21% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, performing in line with its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which returned 12.23% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the 11.80% average return of the Variable Products-Underlying Funds Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

U.S. equities (+13.8%), as measured by the S&P 500 Index, gained during the six-month period, reaching an all-time high in May. The rally began on the first trading day of the year after a last-minute compromise by the U.S. Congress averted the fiscal cliff. Optimism surrounding the fiscal reprieve was furthered during the first half of the period by better-than-expected corporate earnings, a robust housing market, and a gradually improving employment picture. In the second half of the period, a market rally throughout April and the first part of May paused following comments by Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Ben Bernanke that suggested the Fed might begin to slow quantitative easing (QE) sooner than investors anticipated. The Federal Open Market Committee’s June statement emphasized that the tapering schedule would depend on improving economic indicators. A strong housing market, positive consumer confidence trends, and a steadily healing labor market lent support to the thesis that underlying fundamentals were solid. Following an initially dramatic negative response to the Fed’s announcement and an increase in lending rates in China, U.S. markets moved higher into the end of the period.

Growth stocks (+12%) underperformed Value stocks (+16%) during the period, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value Indices, respectively. All ten sectors in the Russell 3000 Growth Index (+12%) rose during the period. The Health Care (+21%), Consumer Discretionary (+20%), and Consumer Staples (+15%) sectors gained the most while Information Technology (+3%) and Utilities (+6%) lagged.

Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, positively contributed to relative performance, in part due to overweight allocations (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to Health Care and Consumer Discretionary. Security selection detracted from relative performance. Security selection was weakest in the Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and Industrials sectors, with stronger selections in the Information Technology, Financials, and Materials sectors.

The top relative contributors to performance in the Fund during the period were Apple (Information Technology), LinkedIn (Information Technology), and Micron Technology (Information Technology). Shares of Apple, a designer, manufacturer, and retailer of a range of personal electronic products, declined on weaker guidance and slowing growth. We were underweight the shares which positively contributed to benchmark-relative performance. Shares of LinkedIn, a U.S.-based career networking website, increased following a brief decline after the company lowered quarterly earnings guidance. Investors appeared to become more optimistic about the company’s earnings growth potential during the quarter based on favorable trends at other internet businesses. Shares of Micron Technology, a U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturer specializing in flash memory storage devices, increased after company reported solid fiscal third quarter results with earnings that beat consensus estimates. Micron generated strong sales and revenues and benefited from a favorable supply and demand environment. Actavis (Health Care) and IntercontinentalExchange (Financials) were among other top absolute performance (i.e. total return) contributors.

The top detractors from relative performance in the Fund during the period were Edwards Lifesciences (Health Care), Microsoft (Information Technology), and VeriFone Systems (Information Technology). Shares of Edwards Lifesciences, a U.S.-based medical device company specializing in heart valve technology and treatments for cardiovascular diseases, decreased after company reported disappointing first quarter results due to poor transcatheter heart valve (THV) sales. Shares of Microsoft, a U.S.-based technology company, moved higher after the company posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings. The enterprise business continued to deliver strong results, more than offsetting the sluggish consumer business. We didn’t hold shares of this benchmark constituent which negatively contributed to benchmark-relative performance. VeriFone Systems, electronic payment solution provider, underperformed during the period after the company lowered its earnings guidance citing weak macroeconomic conditions in Europe, lower revenue from Brazil-based business, and delays in customer projects. Apple (Information Technology) also detracted on an absolute basis.

Manager Discussion – (continued)

June 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

What is your outlook?

During the period, we experienced volatility in response to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s statement that the Fed would begin to reduce the stimulus that has buoyed the markets for several quarters. Looking forward to the third quarter, we believe that we are in a limbo period in which investors are unsure of both the timing and magnitude of future interest rate increases. Our view is that although uncertainty among investors is causing some consternation in the markets, the environment should normalize as rates moderate over the next several months. We don’t anticipate a material increase in rates from current levels during the year.

We believe that the current environment is conducive to stock picking. While we felt valuations were overpriced without being backed up by fundamentals last year at this time, we now believe that fundamentals are improving. We are finding compelling opportunities to invest in companies that we believe have strong fundamentals and we believe are trading at reasonable valuations. We are focused on fundamentals and investing where we see pockets of strength. We have added to positions we believe can perform under a variety of macroeconomic scenarios.

At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight the Information Technology, Financials, and Health Care sectors and most underweight the Consumer Staples, Telecommunication Services, and Industrials sectors relative to the benchmark.

Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

(000’s Omitted)

Organization:

Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund (the “Fund”) serves as an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company (“HLIC”) and its affiliates and certain qualified retirement plans. The Fund may also serve as an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the Fund if permitted by their plans.

Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end registered management investment company comprised of four portfolios. Financial statements for 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.

The Fund is divided into Class IA and Class IB shares. Each class is offered at the per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge and is subject to the same expenses, except that the Class IB shares are subject to distribution and service fees charged pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements, which are in accordance with the 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 NAV of each class of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open (“Valuation Date”). Information that becomes known to the Fund 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, portfolio investments and other assets held by the Fund's portfolio for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices or official close price. If no sales are reported, market value is based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, the Fund will use the fair value of the investment as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors. Market quotes are considered not readily available where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information or indicative market quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close that materially affect the values of the Fund’s portfolio investments or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the investments trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. In addition, prices of foreign equities that are principally traded on certain foreign markets may be adjusted daily pursuant to a fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Directors in order to reflect an adjustment for the factors occurring after the close of certain foreign markets but before the NYSE Close. Investments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. The value of the foreign investments 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

Table of Contents

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 investment is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair market value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.

Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of the Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of investments 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 NYSE is closed and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the 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.

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 procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the 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 the 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; and short-term investments, which are valued at amortized cost.

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.

source is believed not to reflect the investment’s fair value as of the Valuation Date. Members of the Valuation Committee include the Fund’s Treasurer or designee, a Vice President of the Fund with legal expertise or designee, and a Vice President of the investment manager or designee. In addition, the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer shall designate a member of the compliance group to attend Valuation Committee meetings as a non-voting resource, to monitor for and provide guidance with respect to compliance with these procedures. Two members of the Valuation Committee or their designees, representing different departments, shall constitute a quorum for purposes of permitting the Valuation Committee to take action. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of the Fund’s sub-adviser, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Audit Committee receives quarterly written reports which include details of all fair-valued investments, including the reason for the fair valuation, and an indication, when possible, of the accuracy of the valuation by disclosing the next available reliable public price quotation or the disposition price of such investments (the “look-back” test). The Board of Directors then must consider for ratification all of the fair value determinations made during the previous quarter.

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 Investment Valuation Hierarchy Level Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follow the Schedule of Investments.

For purposes of reporting transfers between different hierarchy levels, both transfers in and out of each level, as applicable, are shown as if they occurred at the beginning of the period.

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, the 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 and accretion of discounts, is accrued on a daily basis.

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.

The 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.

Table of Contents

Joint Trading Account – The 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 the Fund’s shares are executed in accordance with the investment instructions of the contract holders and plan participants. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of business on each business day of the Exchange. The NAV is determined separately for each class of shares of the 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 the 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. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are allocated daily based on the relative net assets of each class of shares of the Fund.

Orders for the purchase of the 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 Fund is 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 based upon the investment performance of the Fund. The policy of the Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income and realized capital gains, if any, at least once a year.

Distributions from net investment income, net 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 may include but are not limited to losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”), Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Regulated Investment Companies (“RICs”), certain derivatives and partnerships. 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 note).

Securities and Other Investments:

Repurchase Agreements – A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which a counterparty agrees to sell an investment and agrees to repurchase the investment sold from the buyer at a mutually agreed upon time and price. During the period of the repurchase agreement, the counterparty will deposit cash and or securities in a third party custodial account to serve as collateral. At the time the Fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Repurchase agreements expose the Fund to counterparty risk - that is, the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligations. To minimize counterparty risk, the investments 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, which approximates fair value. Repurchase agreements have master netting agreements which allow the Fund to offset amounts owed to a counterparty with amounts owed by the counterparty, including any collateral. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2013.

investments also may be more difficult to value due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such investments, and an investment in them may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund may also purchase certain restricted investments that can only be resold to certain qualified investors and may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had illiquid and/or restricted investments as of June 30, 2013.

Investments Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis – Delivery and payment for investments 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. A fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell delayed-delivery investments before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. During this period, such investments are subject to market fluctuations, and the Fund identifies investments segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had when-issued or delayed-delivery investments as of June 30, 2013.

Financial Derivative Instruments:

The following disclosures contain information on how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, the credit-risk-related contingent features in certain derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect the Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statement of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in the following Additional Derivative Instrument Information footnote. The derivative instruments outstanding as of period-end are disclosed in the notes to or within the Schedule of Investments for purchased options, if applicable. The amounts of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts that obligate the Fund to purchase or sell currencies at specified future dates. Foreign currency contracts are used to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s investments and/or as part of an investment strategy. Foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the foreign currency contract is settled.

Foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the 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. The Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as shown on the Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2013.

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 which 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.

Federal Income Taxes:

Federal Income Taxes – For federal income tax purposes, the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a 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 and otherwise complying with the requirements of the IRC. The 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 prior to the next fiscal year-end. 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.

Net Investment Income (Loss), Net Realized Gains (Losses), and Distributions – Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to PFICs, REITs, RICs, certain derivatives and partnerships. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund.

Components of Distributable Earnings – The Fund’s components of distributable earnings (deficit) on a tax basis at December 31, 2012, are as follows:

	Amount
Undistributed Ordinary Income	$	740
Accumulated Capital and Other Losses*		(49,188	)
Unrealized Appreciation†		144,054
Total Accumulated Earnings	$	95,606

The Fund has capital loss carryforwards that are identified in the Capital Loss Carryforward note that follows.

†

Differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) may be attributable to the losses deferred due to wash sale adjustments, foreign currency gains and losses, adjustments related to PFICs, REITs, RICs, certain derivatives and partnerships.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts – The Fund may record reclassifications in its capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the Fund. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and tax accounting for such items as foreign currency, PFICs, expiration or utilization of capital loss carryforwards or net operating losses. 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 undistributed net investment income, from accumulated net realized gains on investments or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below:

	Amount
Undistributed Net Investment Income	$	(117	)
Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)		2,066
Capital Stock and Paid-in-Capital		(1,949	)

Table of Contents

Capital Loss Carryforward – On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which made changes to the capital loss carryforward rules. The changes are effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under prior regulation.

At December 31, 2012 (tax-year-end), the Fund had capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes as follows:

Year of Expiration	Amount
2016	$	6,946
2017		42,242
Total	$	49,188

As a result of current or past mergers in the Fund, certain provisions in the Internal Revenue Code may limit the future utilization of capital losses. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $101,131 of prior year capital loss carryforwards.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules that require the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Generally, tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years. The Fund does not have an examination in progress.

The Fund has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that these financial reporting rules had no effect on the Fund’s financial position or results of operations. There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The Fund is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Expenses:

Investment Management Agreement – Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”), serves as investment manager to the Fund pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Company. The investment manager has overall investment supervisory responsibility for the Fund. In addition, the investment manager provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of the Fund. The investment manager has contracted with Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington Management”) under a sub-advisory agreement 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 the investment manager, a portion of which may be used to compensate Wellington Management.

Pending Legal Proceedings:

On February 25, 2011, Jennifer L. Kasilag, Louis Mellinger, Judith M. Menendez, Jacqueline M. Robinson, and Linda A. Russell filed a derivative lawsuit against Hartford Investment Financial Services, LLC (“HIFSCO”)(now known as Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC) on behalf of six Hartford retail mutual funds in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that HIFSCO received excessive advisory and distribution fees in violation of its statutory fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act when serving as investment manager and principal underwriter, respectively, to the Hartford retail mutual funds. HIFSCO moved to dismiss and, in September 2011, the motion was granted in part and denied in part, with leave to amend the complaint. In November 2011, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on behalf of certain Hartford retail mutual funds, The Hartford Global Health Fund (now known as The Hartford Healthcare Fund), The Hartford Conservative Allocation Fund, The Hartford Growth Opportunities Fund, The Hartford Inflation Plus Fund, The Hartford Advisers Fund (now known as The Hartford Balanced Fund), and The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund. Plaintiffs seek to rescind the investment management agreements and distribution plans between HIFSCO and these funds and to recover the total fees charged thereunder or, in the alternative, to recover any improper compensation HIFSCO received, in addition to lost earnings. HIFSCO filed a partial motion to dismiss the amended complaint and, in December 2012, the court dismissed without prejudice the claims regarding distribution fees and denied the motion with respect to the advisory fees claims. HIFSCO disputes the allegations and intends to defend vigorously.

This action concerns the activities of HIFSCO in its capacity as investment manager and principal underwriter to the Hartford retail mutual funds and does not concern HIFSCO’s activities in its capacity as principal underwriter to the HLS funds. For this reason, no accrual for litigation relating to this matter has been recorded in the financial statements of the Fund.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

Your Fund's Expenses

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs including investment management fees, distribution fees, if any, 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 December 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses

The first set of columns 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 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 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).

	Actual return						Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)
	Beginning Account Value December 31, 2012		Ending Account Value June 30, 2013		Expenses paid during the period December 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013		Beginning Account Value December 31, 2012		Ending Account Value June 30, 2013		Expenses paid during the period December 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013		Annualized expense ratio			Days in the current 1/2 year	Days in the full year

Principal Risks (Unaudited)

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below.

Market, Selection, and Strategy Risk: The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to market risk and/or security selections that may underperform the market or relevant benchmarks. If the sub-adviser’s investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective.

Growth Investing Risk: Growth investments can be volatile, and may fail to increase earnings or grow as quickly as anticipated. Growth-style investing falls in and out of favor, which may result in periods of underperformance.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investments can be riskier than U.S. investments. Potential risks include currency risk that may result from unfavorable exchange rates, liquidity risk if decreased demand for a security makes it difficult to sell at the desired price, and risks that stem from substantially lower trading volume on foreign markets.

Mid-cap Stock Risk: Mid-cap stocks are generally more volatile and risky and may be less liquid than large-cap stocks because they may have limited operating histories, narrow product lines, and focus on niche markets.

Active Trading Risk: Actively trading investments may result in higher costs (thus affecting performance).

Not Annualized

Performance information includes performance under the Fund’s previous sub-adviser, Hartford Investment Management Company. As of June 4, 2012, Hartford Investment Management Company no longer serves as the sub-adviser to the Fund.

Includes the Fund’s performance when it invested, prior to February 1, 2010, at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of mid-capitalization companies.

Class IB shares commenced on March 31, 2008. Class IB share performance prior to that date reflects Class IA share performance adjusted to reflect the 12b-1 fee of 0.25% applicable to Class IB shares. The performance after such date reflects actual Class IB share performance.

Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, commonly referred to as “smid” cap. The Russell 2500 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 2500 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.

You cannot invest directly in an index.

As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated May 1, 2013, the total annual operating expense ratios for Class IA and Class IB shares were 0.88% and 1.13%, respectively. Actual expenses may be higher. Please see the accompanying Financial Highlights for expense ratios for the six-month period year ended June 30, 2013.

Manager Discussion

June 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

Portfolio Manager

David J. Elliott, CFA

Vice President, Co-Director of Quantitative Investments, Director of Quantitative Portfolio Management and Portfolio Manager

How did the Fund perform?

The Class IA shares of the Hartford Small/Mid Cap Equity HLS Fund returned 14.22% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index, which returned 15.42%. For the same period, the Fund also underperformed the 14.90% average return of the Variable Products-Underlying Funds Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

All ten sectors in the Russell 2500 Index posted positive returns during the period. Strong performers included the Consumer Staples (+29.7%), Consumer Discretionary (+22.5%), and Health Care (+18.2%) sectors, while the Materials (+3.1%), Energy (+8.6%) and Information Technology (+13.7%) sectors lagged on a relative basis.

Overall sector positioning detracted modestly from relative returns during the period due to an overweight to the Energy and Utilities sectors. The Fund’s stock selection in the Health Care, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors also detracted from benchmark relative performance. This was partially offset by stronger stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Materials sectors. The Fund’s modest cash position also detracted from relative performance in an upward-trending market.

The largest detractors from benchmark-relative performance during the period were Coeur D’alene Mines (Materials), Gold Resource Corp (Materials), and CYS Investments (Financials). Shares of Coeur D’alene Mines, primarily a silver mining company, fell during the period as company production declined and precious metals sold off sharply. Gold Resource Corp., a small Mexico-based gold producer, fell as the price of gold tumbled during the period, and higher yielding equities underperformed along with the bond market. Shares of CYS Investments, a Massachusetts-based mortgage REIT, fell near the end of the period, along with the sharp sell-off in Treasuries. Affymax (Health Care), a California-based pharmaceutical company, detracted on an absolute basis (i.e. total return) during the period.

The largest contributors to relative performance during the period were Radian Group (Financials), Multimedia Games (Consumer Discretionary), and CA Inc. (Information Technology). Shares of Radian Group, a credit enhancement and mortgage insurance company, rose along with broad confidence in a housing recovery. Shares of Multimedia Games, a company that designs, manufactures, and supplies gaming machines to North American casino operators, rose on the improving economy and expectations for additional discretionary income. CA Inc., an IT management software firm, gained mid-quarter after beating estimates, largely due to the growth of its enterprise businesses. Nasdaq OMX Group (Financials), a securities exchange operator, contributed on an absolute basis during the period.

What is the outlook?

The Fund seeks to add value by utilizing Wellington Management’s proprietary quantitative research and investment tools in a highly disciplined framework. The Fund focuses on stock selection as the key driver of returns and uses quantitative portfolio optimization techniques to minimize unintended and uncompensated risks.

Manager Discussion – (continued)

Organization:

Hartford Small/Mid Cap Equity HLS Fund (the “Fund”) serves as an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company (“HLIC”) and its affiliates and certain qualified retirement plans. The Fund may also serve as an underlying investment option for certain variable annuity and variable life separate accounts of other insurance companies. Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the funds permitted in the variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified retirement plans may choose the Fund if permitted by their plans.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Table of Contents

value of the foreign investments 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 investment is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair market value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.

The Board of Directors of the Company generally reviews and approves the “Procedures for Valuation of Portfolio Securities” on an annual basis. These procedures define how investments are to be valued, including the formation and activities of a Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of investments when the value cannot be obtained from primary pricing services or alternative sources or if the valuation of an investment as provided by the primary pricing service or alternative source is believed not to reflect the investment’s fair value as of the Valuation Date. Members of the Valuation Committee include the Fund’s Treasurer or designee, a Vice President of the Fund with legal expertise or designee, and a Vice President of the investment manager or designee. In addition, the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer shall designate a member of the compliance group to attend Valuation Committee meetings as a non-voting resource, to monitor for and provide guidance with respect to compliance with these procedures. Two members of the Valuation Committee or their designees, representing different departments, shall constitute a quorum for purposes of permitting the Valuation Committee to take action. The Valuation Committee will consider all relevant factors in determining an investment’s fair value, and may seek the advice of the Fund’s sub-adviser, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

(000’s Omitted)

Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Audit Committee receives quarterly written reports which include details of all fair-valued investments, including the reason for the fair valuation, and an indication, when possible, of the accuracy of the valuation by disclosing the next available reliable public price quotation or the disposition price of such investments (the “look-back” test). The Board of Directors then must consider for ratification all of the fair value determinations made during the previous quarter.

For additional information, refer to the Investment Valuation Hierarchy Level Summary and the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, if applicable, which follow the Schedule of Investments.

For purposes of reporting transfers between different hierarchy levels, both transfers in and out of each level, as applicable, are shown as if they occurred at the beginning of the period.

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

Table of Contents

Securities and Other Investments:

Principal Risks:

Counterparty Risk – The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default.

Market Risks – If the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Fund’s investments in foreign currency denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund. The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which 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 which 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.

Federal Income Taxes:

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.

Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings – The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund for the periods indicated is as follows (as adjusted for dividends payable, if applicable):

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2012		For the Year Ended December 31, 2011
Ordinary Income	$	11,105	$	9,832
Long-Term Capital Gains*		6,690		1,461

The Fund designates these distributions as long-term capital dividends pursuant to IRC Sec. 852(b)(3)(C).

As of December 31, 2012, the Fund’s components of distributable earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

	Amount
Undistributed Ordinary Income	$	8,421
Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain		2,784
Unrealized Appreciation*		10,086
Total Accumulated Earnings	$	21,291

	Amount
Undistributed Net Investment Income	$	(340	)
Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)		340

carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under prior regulation.

The Fund had no capital loss carryforward for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2012.

Principal Risks (Unaudited)

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below.

Small/Mid-cap Stock Risk: Small- and mid-cap stocks are generally more volatile and risky and may be less liquid than large-cap stocks because they may have limited operating histories, narrow product lines, and focus on niche markets.

Quantitative Analysis Risk: The Fund uses quantitative analysis in its securities selection; securities selected by this method may perform differently from the broader stock market.

Active Trading Risk: Actively trading investments may result in higher costs (thus affecting performance).

How did the Fund perform?

The Class IA shares of the Hartford SmallCap Growth HLS Fund returned 18.00% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 17.44%. For the same period, the Fund also outperformed the 16.63% average return of the Variable Products-Underlying Funds Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Small cap (+15.9%) stocks outperformed large cap stocks (+13.8%) during the period, as measured by the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 Indices, respectively. Value (+15.8%) stocks outperformed Growth (+12.2%) stocks during the period, as measured by the Russell 3000 Value and Russell 3000 Growth Indices, respectively. All ten sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had positive returns during the period. Consumer Discretionary (+21.9%), Consumer Staples (+21.7%), and Health Care (+21.7%) performed best, while Utilities (1.1%) and Materials (4.2%) lagged on a relative basis.

The Fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark was driven by strong stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Industrials sectors, which offset weaker selection in the Information Technology, Financials, and Telecommunication Services sectors. Sector allocation, which is a result of bottom-up security selection, detracted during the period due in part to overweights (i.e. the Fund’s sector position was greater than the benchmark position) to Utilities and Energy. A modest cash position also detracted from relative results in an upward trending market.

The top contributors to relative performance were Fifth & Pacific (Consumer Discretionary), Salix Pharmaceuticals (Health Care), and Bloomin’ Brands (Consumer Discretionary). Shares of Fifth & Pacific, a designer of retail-based premium apparel and accessories, rose during the period as results exceeded pre-guidance with new data points indicating a stabilization of corporate costs and strong wholesale growth at Kate Spade and Lucky Jeans. Salix Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical firm focused on the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, saw its shares climb during the period due to solid quarter results, led by strong sales of Xifaxan. Shares of Bloomin’ Brands, one of the largest casual dining companies with more than 1,450 restaurants globally, rose on positive revenue guidance in the second quarter, as well as investors’ positive view of the company’s growth initiatives. Top contributors to absolute performance (i.e. total return) during the period also included Alkermes (Health Care).

Top relative detractors included DFC Global (Financials), Aruba Networks (Information Technology), and Isis Pharmaceuticals (Health Care). Shares of DFC Global, a provider of alternative financial services, declined due to investor concerns about the impact of potential regulatory reform and higher costs associated with investments in growth. Shares of Aruba Networks, a provider in wireless local area network infrastructure for enterprises, declined during the period as earnings fell short of expectations, in part due to pricing pressures, a weak global macro environment, and Asian service provider weakness. Isis Pharmaceuticals develops therapeutic drugs inhibiting cell protein synthesis. The company’s shares rose late in the period on positive clinical trial data for its diabetes drug. Holding an underweight position in this strong performing benchmark

component hurt relative performance. Top detractors from absolute returns during the period also included AVEO Pharmaceuticals (Health Care) and Energy XXI Bermuda (Energy).

What is the outlook?

We believe the global economy is gradually normalizing. While there are fears among market participants about the Fed reducing its quantitative easing measures, we are not overly concerned as we view this action as a shift from a “surge” in liquidity to becoming a source of steady liquidity. We believe that the U.S. economy remains poised for a continued modest recovery as consumer spending is still buoyed by household balance sheet and steady job gains. However, we believe the U.S. is still not creating jobs fast enough and a large part of the reduction in the unemployment rate is due to people dropping out of the labor force. We believe housing remains in a solid uptrend and we believe the shortage of inventory should boost prices further in the near term.

We believe Europe is gradually healing with growth likely to remain subpar but with the downside risks abating. In China, the transition from an infrastructure, heavy investment spending economy to a more diversified economy has been uneven, but we believe their policy makers have the tools to manage the transition. In our view, China should maintain above average growth. In Japan, we believe that the liquidity boost from accommodative monetary policy and growth recovery should add to the overall world economic recovery.

Disciplined portfolio construction allows us to assess risk, weight individual positions accordingly, and in the process build a portfolio that focuses largely on stock selection as a way to seek to generate benchmark-relative outperformance. We seek to avoid surprises from unintended, uncompensated “risks”.

As a result of bottom-up stock selection, the Fund’s top overweights at the end of the period included Industrials, Energy, and Financials. Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, and Consumer Discretionary constituted the greatest underweights relative to the benchmark in the Fund at the end of the period.

Significant Accounting Policies:

Table of Contents

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 investment is primarily traded. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair market value assigned to an investment if the Fund were to sell the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV.

Other Related Party Transactions – Certain officers of the Fund are directors and/or officers of the investment manager and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, a portion of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary was paid by all the investment companies in the Hartford fund complex. The portion allocated to the Fund 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 on a per account basis for providing such services. The amount paid to HASCO can be found in the Statement of Operations. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

Payment from Affiliate – In July of 2007, The Hartford entered into a settlement with the Attorneys General of the states of New York, Connecticut and Illinois relating to market timing and the company's individual variable annuity contracts in which certain payments would be made directly to the variable annuity contract holders. The distribution plan provided that unclaimed money from the settlement would be distributed to certain HLS Funds that are investment options through a Hartford individual variable annuity contract. The unclaimed money was distributed to the Fund on September 18, 2009.

Portfolio Manager

Michael F. Garrett

Senior Vice President and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager

How did the Fund perform?

The Class IA shares of the Hartford U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund returned -2.30% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, underperforming its benchmark, the Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index, which returned -1.23% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the -3.12% average return in the Variable Products-Underlying Funds Lipper General U.S. Government Funds peer group, a group of funds that invest primarily in U.S. government and agency issues, including Treasury Inflation Protected Securities.

Why did the Fund perform this way?

Central bank easing and signs of gradual global economic recovery imparted a positive tone to financial markets early in the year. However, sentiment abruptly changed late in the period after the Federal Reserve (Fed) surprised markets with its earlier-than-expected plan to reduce asset purchases, sending yields sharply higher.

The Federal Open Market Committee began to publically debate the costs of open-ended bond purchases during the first quarter, raising concerns that these will end sooner than anticipated. But it was statements by Fed policymakers on June 18 and 19 that really caught market participants off guard with their unexpectedly agressive tone. Specifically, Fed officials signaled a readiness to begin reducing the central bank’s asset purchases under quantitative easing (QE) by September, and to end purchases by mid-2014 if the economy strengthened sufficiently.

In contrast to the Fed’s aggressive rhetoric, European Central Bank (ECB) officials made it clear they are in no hurry to end the central bank's accommodative stance as the eurozone’s economic recovery continued to be the world’s weakest by a large margin. Meanwhile, stress in Chinese money markets coincided with signs of slowing growth. China's central bank attempted to tighten credit at the same time that global markets were closely watching the Fed's attempts to move toward tighter policy.

U.S. economic data signaled that the economy remains on a moderate growth path, underpinned by the housing and labor markets. The residential real estate recovery continued to pick up steam as home sales rose; house prices saw their greatest annual gain in seven years, according to data from S&P/Case-Shiller. Rising home values and equity-market gains helped boost consumer confidence and prop up consumption. However, manufacturing activity contracted and growth in the services sector slowed.

Worries over an eventual end to record-low borrowing rates in the U.S. fueled a massive, broad-based sell-off across nearly all corners of the global financial markets in June. The Treasury yield curve steepened as the 10-year Treasury yield surged 0.73% to end the period at 2.49%, the highest level since August 2011. Major fixed income sectors, with the exception of high yield, posted negative absolute returns driven by rising rates and underperformed Treasuries on a duration-adjusted basis during the 6-month period. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of an asset of portfolio’s price to nominal interest rate movement.

Duration and yield curve positioning, sector allocation and security selection each detracted from benchmark-relative performance during the period. The agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector experienced a sharp sell-off on the heels of the Fed communication during May and June that they might begin to reduce their asset purchases earlier than the market anticipated. As a result, the portfolio’s agency pass-through allocation hurt performance, especially in the 30-year sector where the Fed has concentrated its purchases. The allocation to mortgage credit in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) added to returns significantly in the first quarter, but lost ground during May and June, giving back those gains and ending roughly flat versus Treasuries. The portfolio’s investments in government agency bonds also detracted from performance, as agency spreads widened.

We use Treasury futures and interest rate swaps to manage duration and yield curve exposure. The portfolio’s slightly long duration bias, concentrated in the 3-year sector of the curve, contributed to underperformance during a rising rate and steepening curve environment.

What is the outlook?

In the near term we expect higher volatility coupled with lower liquidity in the MBS sector. Looking forward, we believe the sector offers reasonable long term value. Arguments against mortgages include the Fed’s data dependence, which adds volatility to mortgage spreads as they rise and fall with Treasury yields. In addition, the market’s

Hartford U.S. Government Securities HLS Fund

Manager Discussion – (continued)

June 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

confidence has been shaken, as the surprising shift in the Fed outlook will keep spreads from revisiting their previous tight interest rate ranges. However, these are offset by several positive facts. First, the Fed is still a net buyer, able to soak up supply through the middle of next year. Second, they have restated their intention to hold their MBS portfolio through their policy accommodation exit. Although spreads will likely widen if we see stronger economic data, this is not our base case scenario. In fact, we see the Fed’s economic projections for 2013 as somewhat optimistic, especially in light of the potential for further impact from the government sequester. In this stable to weaker scenario, we expect mortgage spreads to stay here or tighten marginally.

We maintain a constructive outlook for the non-agency RMBS sector based on a favorable technical backdrop and tailwinds from strength in housing. Volatility-driven spread widening and the sell-off in rates have left the sector with loss-adjusted yields at levels that are comparable to the start of 2013. Within the sector we currently favor prime hybrids, which have less interest-rate risk than fixed-rate bonds, and high-quality Alt-A securities, which stand to benefit from home-price appreciation. Overall, we believe the non-agency RMBS sector will continue to offer better risk-adjusted returns than competing fixed-income sectors.

We continue to monitor the impact of rising rates on commercial real estate fundamentals. We believe that impact will be limited, based on our expectation that a rise in rates will be accompanied by increased property net cash flows and compression of risk premiums. Within the sector we favor high-quality new-issue conduit deals, select legacy CMBS, and single-borrower deals. The technically driven spread widening at the top of the capital stack provides opportunities for investors who are able to withstand near-term volatility.

Within ABS, positive collateral performance trends continued during the second quarter, and new issuance fell roughly 9% from the comparable period of 2012. Based on these trends, we remain positive about the sector and within it we continue to favor higher-quality autos.

Fixed income investments (other than short term obligations) and non-exchange traded derivatives held by the Fund are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services in accordance with procedures established by the Company’s Board of Directors. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values through accepted market modeling and trading and pricing conventions. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, prepayment speeds, pricing spread, yield, trade information, dealer quotes, market color, cash flow models and the bond’s terms and conditions. Generally, the Fund may use fair valuation in regard to fixed income investments when the Fund holds defaulted or distressed investments or investments in a company in which a reorganization is pending. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.

Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange as of the NYSE Close. In the case of OTC options and such instruments that do not trade on an exchange, values may be supplied by a pricing service using a formula or other objective method that may take into consideration the style, direction, expiration, strike price, notional value and volatility or other special adjustments.

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

Securities and Other Investments:

Table of Contents

agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Repurchase agreements have master netting agreements which allow the Fund to offset amounts owed to a counterparty with amounts owed by the counterparty, including any collateral. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2013.

Illiquid and Restricted Investments – The Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. Illiquid investments 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 investments when its sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such investments at a price that is lower than the price that could be obtained if the investments were more liquid. A sale of illiquid 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 investments also may be more difficult to value due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such investments, and an investment in them may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund may also purchase certain restricted investments that can only be resold to certain qualified investors and may be determined to be liquid pursuant to policies and guidelines established by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had illiquid and/or restricted investments as of June 30, 2013.

In connection with the Fund’s ability to purchase investments on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, the Fund may enter into to-be announced (“TBA”) commitments. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed-upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. Although the Fund may enter into TBA commitments with the intention of acquiring or delivering securities for its portfolio, the Fund can extend the settlement date, roll the transaction, or dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if deemed appropriate to do so. If the TBA commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting TBA commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. In a TBA roll transaction, the Fund generally purchases or sells the initial TBA commitment prior to the agreed upon settlement date and enters into a new TBA commitment for future delivery or receipt of the mortgage-backed securities. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date.

The Fund may enter into “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells securities and contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase substantially similar securities (for example, same issuer, coupon and maturity) on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Fund gives up the right to receive interest paid on the investments sold. The Fund would benefit to the extent of any differences between the price received for the security and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities. The Fund records dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions are excluded from the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund had open dollar roll transactions as of June 30, 2013.

Inflation Indexed Bonds – The Fund may invest in inflation indexed bonds. Inflation indexed bonds are fixed income investments whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal

amount of an inflation indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive the principal amount until maturity. As of June 30, 2013, the Fund did not hold any inflation indexed bonds.

Mortgage Related and Other Asset Backed Securities – The Fund may invest in mortgage related and other asset backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage backed securities, stripped mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. Mortgage related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. Asset backed securities are created from many types of assets, including auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans, and student loans. These securities provide a monthly payment that consists of both interest and principal payments. Interest payments may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. The rate of pre-payments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage related security, and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage related securities is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Mortgage related and other asset backed securities created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that the private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had mortgage related and other asset backed securities as of June 30, 2013.

Financial Derivative Instruments:

Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date. The Fund uses futures contracts to manage or obtain exposure to the investment markets, commodities, or movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the investments held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) an amount of cash or U.S. Government or Agency Obligations in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily at the most recent settlement price reported by an exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively, and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; however, the Fund seeks to reduce this risk through the use of an FCM. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding futures contracts as of June 30, 2013.

Swap Contracts – The Fund may invest in swap contracts. Swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified future intervals. The Fund may enter into credit default, total return, cross-currency, interest rate,

Table of Contents

inflation and other forms of swap contracts to manage its exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, commodity and inflation risk. Swap contracts are also used to gain exposure to certain markets. In connection with these contracts, investments or cash may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap contracts to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. 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 Company’s Board of Directors, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap contract and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap and net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these contracts, that the counterparty to the contracts may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the contracts, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty, which allows for the netting of payments made or received (although such amounts are presented on a gross basis within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as applicable) as well as the posting of collateral to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts – The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Fund holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts. In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate, based on a specified interest rate or inflation benchmark (e.g. London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)), 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. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap contracts is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Interest rate swaps are marked to market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. When the interest rate swap contract is terminated early, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the current realized value and the expected cash flows.

If an interest rate swap contract provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as well. Interest rate swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index or mortgage prepayment rates. The risks of interest rate swaps include changes in market conditions which will affect the value of the contract or the cash flows and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. The Fund, as shown on the Schedule of Investments, had outstanding interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2013.

Principal Risks:

Credit and Counterparty Risks – 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 that holds securities with higher credit risk may be more volatile than those of a fund that holds bonds with lower credit risk. Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default.

Market Risks – The Fund’s investments expose the Fund to various risks including, but not limited to, interest rate, prepayment, extension, foreign currency, and equity risks. Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the values of certain fixed income securities held by the Fund are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s market price to interest rate (i.e., yield) movements. In addition, securities are subject to extension risk. 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 and extension risk are major risks of mortgage backed securities and certain asset backed securities. For certain asset backed securities, the actual maturity may be less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments, if applicable. As a result, the timing of income recognition relating to these securities may vary based upon the actual maturity. If the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, the Fund’s investments in foreign currency denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund. The market values of equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity

related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which 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 which 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.

Principal Risks (Unaudited)

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below.

Fixed Income Risk: The Fund is subject to interest rate risk (the risk that the value of an investment decreases when interest rates rise) and credit risk (the risk that the issuing company of a security is unable to pay interest and principal when due) and call risk (the risk that an investment may be redeemed early). These risks also apply to the Fund’s investments in U.S. government securities, which may not be guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, and the risk that an investment’s value may be reduced or become worthless if it receives interest or income payments only after other investments in the same pool.

Derivatives Risk: Investments in derivatives can be volatile. Potential risks include currency risk, leverage risk (the risk that small market movements may result in large changes in the value of an investment), liquidity risk, index risk, pricing risk, and counterparty risk (the risk that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to honor its obligations).

Active Trading Risk: Actively trading investments may result in higher costs (thus affecting performance).
