A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholders:
Thank you for investing in Hartford HLS Funds. The following is the Funds’ Annual Report covering the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
Market Review
During the 12 months ended December 31, 2021, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 28.71%. The strong performance was largely propelled by record corporate profits, a global economic rebound, timely fiscal stimulus, ongoing COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, and a flood of liquidity from central banks determined to keep interest rates near zero and supportive of the recovery for as long as possible.
While a long stretch of favorable economic trends helped bolster stock returns during the year, investors also endured bouts of market volatility spurred by some less-than-pleasant surprises: the sudden surge in inflation; the tightening of supply chains and labor markets; the stubborn persistence of new coronavirus variants; and a late-period decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to accelerate the winding down of asset purchases.
The period began with the inauguration of a new U.S. president and a nationwide vaccination rollout. Equity markets, already recovered from their March 2020 pandemic lows, were further lifted by congressional passage of a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package designed to help families and businesses stay afloat. That was followed in August 2021 by approval for a $1 trillion package of infrastructure spending.
Inflation headlines dominated the rest of the year with the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation rising in November 2021 to levels not seen in 40 years.2 Supply-chain disruptions spawned in part by a surge in consumer demand helped drive up prices for gasoline, used cars, airfare tickets, durable goods, and a host of other items. In December 2021, the Consumer Price Index surged to an annual rate of 7%.
With inflation clearly trending upward toward the end of the period, the markets seemed well prepared when Fed chair Jerome Powell announced on December 15, 2021 the long-awaited implementation of the Fed’s plan to speed up its previously announced decision to taper its monthly $120 billion in asset purchases, in turn setting up expectations for interest rate increases in 2022. Markets responded positively to the move with a brief rally.
As millions were celebrating Thanksgiving, the new, highly transmissible COVID-19 Omicron variant unleashed yet another wave of global infections, casting a cloud over prospects for a more robust economic rebound. Adding to the uncertainty, proposals for additional fiscal stimulus were blocked by policy disagreements in Congress just as other previously enacted economic-support measures (i.e., extended child-tax credits and unemployment aid) began to expire.
As of the end of the period, the economic recovery still appears strong, with U.S. unemployment in December 2021 down to 3.9% compared with 14.8% in March 2020. Yet, inflation remains a wildcard, COVID-19 continues to disrupt daily life, and markets remain somewhat volatile. Nowadays, it’s more important than ever to maintain a strong relationship with your financial professional.

Manager Discussion
How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Balanced HLS Fund returned 19.64% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, outperforming the Fund’s blended benchmark, which is comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index, 35% Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index, and 5% ICE BofA US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, which returned 15.87% for the same period. Individually, the S&P 500 Index, Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index, and ICE BofA US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index returned 28.71%, -1.75%, and 0.05%, respectively, during the period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund also outperformed the 15.02% average return of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds peer group, a group of funds that hold between 60%-80% in equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash, and cash equivalents.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, advanced over the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, amid the accelerating global rollout of coronavirus vaccines, a favorable outlook for global economic growth, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and strong corporate earnings. However, markets contended with volatile coronavirus pandemic trends, fluctuating economic growth projections, and the imminent prospect of reduced quantitative easing and policy tightening. Inflation surged amid severe supply and labor shortages, rising energy prices, and heightened demand for goods and services. Fears that inflation could persist for longer than expected prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to announce an accelerated tapering of asset purchases.
U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure bill, but as of the end of the period, the fate of the Democrats' $1.75 trillion spending and climate change plan was uncertain after U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin withheld support due to concerns that it will exacerbate soaring inflation. The rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus prompted a flurry of new restrictions and event cancellations to end the period.
During the twelve-month period, all eleven sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted positive returns, led by the Energy (+55%), Real Estate (+46%), and Financials (+35%) sectors, while the Utilities (+18%) and Consumer Staples (+19%) sectors performed the worst.
Most fixed-income sectors generated mixed total returns but positive excess returns compared to government bonds during the year as sovereign debt yields rose notably.
By the end of the period, central banks further progressed on their paths toward policy normalization as inflation broadened out across more goods and services. The Fed accelerated the timeline for tapering its large-scale asset purchase program and projected multiple interest-rate increases in both 2022 and 2023. The Bank of England (BOE) increased rates for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, citing persistent price pressures. While the European Central Bank (ECB) signaled an expectation to keep its policy rate on hold through the end of 2022, it announced it would conclude its purchases under the pandemic emergency purchase program by March 2022.
During the period, asset allocation decisions benefited the Fund’s performance relative to the blended benchmark. The Fund was generally overweight equities and underweight fixed income and cash relative to the blended benchmark. The equity portion of the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index, while the fixed-income portion of the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index.
Equity outperformance versus the S&P 500 Index was driven by security selection. Strong selection within the Industrials, Communication Services, and Healthcare sectors was partially offset by weak selection in the Information Technology, Materials, and Real Estate sectors. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, detracted from relative performance due to the Fund’s underweight allocations to the Energy and Real Estate sectors, along with an overweight to the Industrials sector. This was partially offset by the Fund’s overweight allocation to the Financials sector and underweights to the Consumer Staples and Utilities sectors.
From a security perspective, within the equity portion of the Fund, not holding benchmark constituent Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary), along with the Fund’s overweight positions in Alphabet (Communication Services) and Pfizer (Healthcare) were the top contributors to performance. Alphabet beat earnings expectations, driven by strength in the company’s core search business and moderating losses in its cloud business. Pfizer’s share price rose during the period following the company’s announcement that its

coronavirus booster shot was shown to provide protection against the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, and that the company had received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization for its oral antiviral for post-infection patients following positive phase 2 and 3 study results that showed it reduced the risk of hospitalization or death.
Top detractors from performance within the equity portion of the Fund included not holding benchmark constituent NVIDIA (Information Technology), as well as overweight positions in Global Payments (Information Technology) and Fidelity National Information Services (FIS, Information Technology). Shares of Global Payments fell during the period. Despite reporting third-quarter earnings that were slightly ahead of consensus expectations and raising the low end of full-year guidance, share prices were weighed down by expectations for slightly lower-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and incremental pandemic-related challenges. In a similar vein, FIS fell sharply in sympathy with the broader payments complex on concerns around potential emerging competitive threats from new fintech companies, as well as the pace of the re-opening and its impact on consumer spending.
The fixed-income portion of the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index during the period. Security selection within investment-grade corporate credit was the biggest contributor to relative outperformance, with bonds in the Industrials, Financials and Utilities sectors all contributing positively to performance. Within non-corporate credit, an overweight to and security selection within taxable municipal bonds also contributed positively over the period. Additionally, out-of-benchmark allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) made positive contributions to relative performance. Conversely, an out-of-benchmark allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities (agency MBS) slightly detracted from relative performance. Duration and yield curve positioning had a negligible impact on relative performance over the period.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
Our aim is to consistently mitigate downside risk for the Fund over a market cycle. Overall, we have been trimming back and eliminating some exposures that have outperformed in favor of more reasonably valued opportunities elsewhere. We stress-test the Fund even in the best of times, and continue to stress-test extreme scenarios and remain vigilant around any balance-sheet risks.
In the equity allocation of the Fund, as of the end of the period, we continue to focus on seeking high-quality businesses with attractive valuation and capital returns. We take a balanced approach to portfolio construction—not leaning too heavily on any one scenario—and we always strive to upgrade the quality of the positions within the Fund. Within equities, the Fund ended the period with its largest overweight in the Healthcare sector and the largest underweight in the Consumer Discretionary sector.
On the fixed-income side, we believe credit fundamentals remain strong, but the improvement in the fundamentals has peaked. Supply-chain disruptions and high labor/input costs are weighing on cash flows and corporate margins but are expected to wane throughout the year, in our view. We ended the twelve-month period with a neutral duration position in the Fund relative to the Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index. As of the end of the period, we expect to continue to hold a largely benchmark-neutral duration position in the Fund but with a slight overweight to the five-year part of the yield curve given the attractive carry and our view that the market may have priced in too many interest-rate increases. Our expectation is that interest rates will move higher over the course of 2022 but not necessarily in a linear path. The pace and magnitude of interest-rate increases will primarily be determined by the impact on financial conditions and path of inflation, in our view. As of the end of the period, the fixed-income portion of the Fund is positioned with an underweight to corporate credit on a contribution-to-duration basis (calculated as the percentage weight of the bond within the total portfolio multiplied by the bond’s duration), as we view liquidity conditions as a driver of credit underperformance over the medium term. Investment-grade credit spreads remain in the bottom quartile relative to history, but we believe they could widen from current levels if volatility arises. On an industry basis, as of the end of the period, we positioned the Fund with an overweight to the less cyclical sectors such as Financials and Utilities while remaining cautious on more cyclical sectors such as Energy. As of the end of the period, the Fund holds a slight out-of-benchmark allocation to agency MBS as it may serve as a source of liquidity to rotate portfolios into credit when the opportunities present. As of the end of the period, the Fund holds out-of-benchmark allocations to securitized sectors such as asset-backed securities (ABS), CLOs, and CMBS, which we believe are supported by benign housing and consumer fundamentals.
At the end of the period, the Fund’s equity exposure was at 68.7% compared to 60% in its benchmark.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating assets among different asset classes. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, event, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. • Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. • Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities’ risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund returned 14.76% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, underperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index, which returned 25.66% for the same period, and the S& P 500 Index, which returned 28.71% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund also underperformed the 23.82% average return of the Lipper Multi-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?
United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, posted positive results over the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021. In the first half of 2021, U.S. equities rallied, bolstered by an accelerating coronavirus vaccine rollout, substantial support from fiscal and monetary policy, and a broader reopening of the economy. Contributing to fiscal stimulus, U.S. President Biden signed into law a massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill and introduced an infrastructure package worth approximately $2.3 trillion, proposing to fund the initiative largely through higher corporate taxes. However, expectations for a strong rebound in the U.S. economy also sparked inflationary fears, contributing to a pro-cyclical rotation in the first quarter of 2021.
Inflation then rose sharply during the second quarter of 2021, as significant global supply-chain disruptions drove consumer and producer prices sharply higher. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its view that elevated price pressures may prove transitory, but the Fed rattled markets by considerably raising its inflation forecast for 2021 and signaling the potential for interest-rate increases in 2022.
In the third quarter of 2021, U.S. equities declined as risk sentiment was pressured by anxiety about rising inflation, imminent policy normalization, moderating economic growth, and uncertainty about fiscal stimulus and the federal debt ceiling. Growth equities outperformed their value counterparts for the quarter; however, surging U.S. Treasury yields sparked a sharp sell-off in shares of large technology companies at the end of September, triggering a powerful rotation into value equities. Coronavirus cases fell sharply in September 2021, although the proliferation of the Delta variant in July and August 2021 weighed on consumer confidence and dampened reopening momentum. The Fed trimmed its 2021 gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast to 5.9% from 7%.
U.S. equity markets surged in the fourth quarter of 2021, as risk sentiment was bolstered by robust equity inflows, strong corporate earnings, favorable economic data, and extremely accommodative financial conditions. Despite this optimism, risks persisted. The rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus coincided with the largest increase in U.S. coronavirus cases since the onset of the pandemic, prompting a flurry of new restrictions and event cancellations. Inflation continued to surge against a backdrop of severe supply and labor shortages, rising energy prices, and high demand for goods and services, which resulted in the Fed coming under heightened scrutiny amid anxiety about a potential policy mistake. The Fed projected three interest-rate increases in 2022, up from its September 2021 forecast of one interest-rate increase.
Returns were positive across market capitalizations during the period. All eleven sectors in the Russell 3000 Index had positive returns during the period. Energy (+56.1%), Real Estate (+40.2%), and Financials (+34.7%) were the top-performing sectors.
Security selection detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index during the period. Weak stock selection in the Information Technology, Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication Services sectors was only partially offset by stronger selection in the Financials and Industrials sectors, which contributed positively. Sector allocation, a residual of our bottom-up security selection process, also slightly detracted from relative performance during the period. The Fund’s overweight exposure to the Consumer Staples sector and underweight exposure to the Energy sector detracted most from performance and was only partially offset by the Fund’s underweight exposure to the Utilities sector, which contributed positively.
Our investment process includes the use of factor-based strategies, which involve targeting certain company characteristics, or factors, that we believe impact returns across asset classes. Factor exposures detracted from performance during the period, driven by the Fund’s underweight exposure to higher-momentum names relative to the Russell 3000 Index. This was partially offset by the positive impact of the Fund’s smaller-cap footprint relative to the Russell 3000 Index.
The largest detractors from relative performance over the period were the Fund’s underweight exposures to Microsoft (Information Technology) and NVIDIA (Information Technology), as well as an overweight exposure to ChemoCentryx (Healthcare). Microsoft engages in the development and support of software, services, devices, and solutions. Shares of the company rose over the period, as the company consistently beat earnings estimates for multiple

quarters. Shares rallied in the final quarter of 2021 after the company delivered strong results with balanced performance across the product set and good margin expansion in all three reporting segments. Windows, a Microsoft product, was a highlight due to strong growth in personal computer (PC) hardware manufacturers, even in the face of PC supply constraints. As of the end of the period, we maintained the Fund’s underweight position relative to the Russell 3000 Index.
NVIDIA engages in the design and manufacture of computer graphics processors, chipsets, and related multimedia software. Shares of NVIDIA rose during the period on a series of strong earnings announcements. Shares performed particularly well late in the period, as the company reported record revenue for the third quarter ended October 31, 2021, which was up 50% year-over-year on strength across the company’s Gaming, Data Center, and Professional Visualization market platforms. Shares were also aided by surging optimism around the metaverse concept. NVIDIA is at the forefront of the metaverse transformation due to its data center network and technology infrastructure. We initiated the Fund’s position during the period but remained underweight relative to the Russell 3000 Index as of the end of the period.
ChemoCentryx is a biopharmaceutical company focused on autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. The company’s shares fell sharply after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Arthritis Advisory Committee met to consider the new drug application for Avacopan, a candidate for the treatment of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody associated vasculitis. The FDA panel had a split vote on the question of whether the risk-benefit profile of Avacopan supports approval due to efficacy concerns. We eliminated the Fund’s position during the second quarter of 2021.
ChemoCentryx (Healthcare) and Allakos (Healthcare) were the top detractors from absolute performance during the period.
The largest contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 3000 Index during the period were the Fund’s underweight exposure to Amazon (Consumer Discretionary), lack of exposure to PayPal (Information Technology) (a Russell 3000 Index constituent), and overweight exposure to Arista Networks (Information Technology). Amazon is an online retailer that offers a wide range of products. Shares of Amazon fell early in the period after the company announced that founder, Jeff Bezos, would step down as CEO to focus on new products and initiatives. The company stated that it planned for Bezos to remain with the company as executive chairman with Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Andy Jassy succeeding him as CEO. Amazon posted mostly strong earnings throughout the year, but shares were weighed by disappointing guidance, with management stating that sales growth was expected to slow over the next several quarters as consumers ventured outside of their homes and away from their coronavirus-induced online shopping habits. The company’s shares ended lower in the fourth quarter of 2021, driven by a regulatory fine of over 1 billion euros being imposed by the Italian Antitrust Authority, as well as an AWS outage that caused widespread issues for Amazon and its customers. We trimmed the Fund’s position throughout the period, increasing the Fund’s underweight exposure relative to the Russell 3000 Index.
PayPal is a technology platform with a focus on digital payments. Shares of PayPal declined over the second half of 2021, sparked by a negative reaction to the company’s interest in buying social media platform Pinterest, although the company eventually decided to back away from the deal. Shares fell further after the company announced a revenue forecast that came in well short of estimates. As of the end of the period, we continued not to hold this position within the Fund.
Arista Networks provides cloud networking solutions for data centers and computer environments. We initiated the Fund’s position in Arista Networks in the third quarter of 2021. Shares rose in the fourth quarter of 2021 after the company reported that it beat earnings estimates during the third quarter of 2021 and announced stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter guidance. The company forecasted that fiscal 2022 revenue growth would accelerate to 30% from 25% in 2021. Arista also expanded its stock buyback program by $1 billion and declared a four-for-one stock split. The Fund had an overweight position relative to the Russell 3000 Index as of the end of the period.
Alphabet (Communication Services) and Marsh & McLennan (Financials) were the top contributors to absolute performance during the period.
During the period, the Fund at times used derivative instruments, such as equity index futures to hedge the market risk. During the period, the use of equity index futures had a slight positive contribution to results.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, volatility continues to weigh on markets as investor exuberance gets muddled by increasing macro uncertainties. Despite positive news benefiting the equity market—such as strong company earnings data and the continued global rollout of vaccines—we believe that investor optimism has been diluted by increasing macroeconomic uncertainties, including the potential impact to company fundamentals as central banks begin to roll back stimulus programs, the possibility of an economic slowdown in China, and possible economic ramifications from the spread of coronavirus variants and the reemergence of pandemic-related restrictions in some regions. As ever, we remain vigilant in managing risks in the Fund and seek to deliver performance that is driven by security selection.
Looking across markets, we are mindful of the ever-evolving risks of different equity factors, and we seek to create a portfolio of diversified styles and philosophies. As of the end of the period, we maintained exposure in the Fund to cyclical areas of the market through our allocations to mean-reversion (e.g. value and contrarian) underlying portfolio managers. These underlying portfolio managers look to invest in undervalued names and use their security selection expertise to seek to identify companies with solid fundamentals and to avoid value traps that are unlikely to mean-revert in the future. We look to our trend-following (e.g. growth and momentum) underlying portfolio managers to seek to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies with favorable growth prospects. Within growth markets, we continue to watch speculative names that are at risk of whipsawing on evolving coronavirus news. We balance these exposures with risk-aversion (e.g. quality and low volatility) allocations, which seek to

provide a defensive lever for the Fund by investing in companies with stable businesses. These equities, which continue to trade at low valuations relative to history and have attractive fundamentals in our view, are expected to add beneficial exposure to the Fund in the event of an unexpected shock to the economy or markets. We believe that the market backdrop will benefit fundamental portfolio managers who are able to differentiate between companies that can succeed in the current climate from those that cannot.
At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to the Information Technology and Energy sectors, relative to the Russell 3000 Index.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among portfolio management teams may not work as intended. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur.

Manager Discussion
How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund returned 25.52% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 28.71% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund underperformed the 26.49% average return of the Lipper Large-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?
United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, posted positive results over the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rallied, bolstered by an accelerating coronavirus vaccine rollout, substantial support from fiscal and monetary policy, and upbeat forecasts for economic growth and earnings. Expectations for a strong rebound in the U.S. economy sparked inflationary fears, contributing to a pro-cyclical rotation. The U.S. Democratic Party secured slim majorities in both houses of Congress after winning control of the Senate, bolstering U.S. President Biden’s prospects of advancing his legislative agenda.
In the second quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rallied amid a backdrop of improving coronavirus vaccination rates, accelerating economic growth, and a broader reopening of the economy. Inflation rose sharply during the quarter, as robust demand for goods and services, along with significant global supply-chain disruptions, drove consumer and producer prices sharply higher.
During the third quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rose against a backdrop of accommodative monetary policy, robust corporate earnings, and strong demand for goods and services. Growth equities outperformed their value counterparts for the quarter; however, surging U.S. Treasury yields sparked a sharp sell-off in shares of large technology companies at the end of September 2021, triggering a powerful rotation into value equities.
U.S. equity markets surged in the fourth quarter of 2021, registering their seventh consecutive quarterly gain. Risk sentiment was bolstered by robust equity inflows, strong corporate earnings, favorable economic data, and extremely accommodative financial conditions.
The rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus led to the largest increase in U.S. coronavirus cases since the onset of the pandemic, prompting a flurry of new restrictions and event cancellations. Inflation continued to surge against a backdrop of severe supply and labor shortages, rising energy prices, and high demand for goods and services, which resulted in the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) coming under heightened scrutiny amid anxiety about a potential policy mistake. In November, inflation accelerated to its highest level since 1982, as the Consumer Price Index rose 6.8% annually at the headline level and 4.9% at the core level. U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure bill, but the fate of the Democrats' $1.75 trillion spending and climate change plan was uncertain as of the end of the period after U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin withheld support for the current version of the plan due to concerns that it will exacerbate soaring inflation.
Returns varied by market capitalization during the period. Large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, outperformed mid-cap and small-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, respectively, during the period. During the twelve-month period, all eleven sectors within the S&P 500 Index rose, led by the Energy (+55%), Real Estate (46%), and Financials (+35%) sectors. Utilities was the worst-performing sector, up 18% during the period.
Sector allocation, which is a residual of our bottom-up security selection process, was the driver of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period. The Fund’s underweights to the Energy, Consumer Staples and Communication Services sectors detracted the most from performance. This was partially offset by the Fund’s underweights to the Utilities and Materials sectors. Security selection also detracted from relative performance. Security selection within the Information Technology, Consumer Staples, and Utilities sectors detracted most during the period, but was partially offset by selection within the Healthcare, Communication Services, and Financials sectors.
Top detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period were an underweight holding in NVIDIA (Information Technology) and overweight holdings in Global Payments (Information Technology) and Walt Disney (Communication Services). Shares of NVIDIA, a leading producer of graphics processing units

Fund Overview – (continued)

(GPUs), rose during the period as optimism around the metaverse concept surged. NVIDIA has been at the forefront of the metaverse transformation due to its data center network and technology infrastructure. Shares of financial technology company Global Payments lost ground during the period despite posting strong earnings that beat consensus estimates in November 2021. Rather than rewarding this positive news, market participants appeared to be more focused on increasing competition in the space, while also reacting skeptically to the company’s two announced acquisitions, causing the company’s share price to fall. Shares of Walt Disney fell during the period after reported earnings in November 2021 failed to meet consensus estimates on revenue, total subscribers, and segment operating income.
The largest contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the period were an overweight holding in EOG Resources (Energy), not owning PayPal (Information Technology) (an S&P 500 Index constituent), and an overweight holding in Eli Lilly (Healthcare). Shares of oil and gas exploration and production company EOG Resources surged over the period after reporting both fourth-quarter and calendar-year 2020 earnings that beat consensus expectations. The company also saw an unusually tight supply-demand balance in European gas heading into the winter, which added further price pressure to a market already at record highs. At the same time, increased demand for crude oil continued to push prices higher, buoying the company’s share price. Shares of PayPal declined during the period after the payments company announced a revenue forecast that came in well short of estimates. Management cited consumer spending concerns in their merchant base, which was driven by global supply-chain shortages decreasing the amount of available goods, as well as by weaker consumer confidence and expectations of more people shopping in-person during the holidays. Investors had a more negative outlook on the stock in October 2021 when PayPal was in late-stage talks to acquire Pinterest, but the company later backed away from the deal. Shares of Eli Lilly rose during the period. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for Donanemab, an Alzheimer’s Disease treatment. Donanemab targets N3pG, a form of beta amyloid, and has exhibited positive safety and efficacy results. Eli Lilly began a rolling submission of a Biologics License Application in 2021. The company also reported strong full year 2020 results in January 2021, driven by initial sales of its new coronavirus antibody therapy.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, it appeared that negotiations on the large spending bill have resumed, and the U.S. Congress has extended the debt ceiling. Our expectation remains that the total package, which includes the bipartisan bill signed into law, will support growth in 2022.
Consistent with the last several months, we believe inflation expectations are a major concern, as companies struggle to offset costs with pricing and are seeing margin compression. The Fed has subtly changed its view on tightening monetary conditions over the
last few months, and we continue to monitor these developments very closely. Labor force participation rates are expected to continue increasing as stimulus effects wane, limiting the risk of runaway inflation. Additionally, we are encouraged thus far by the lower mortality rate in the face of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. As confidence returns, we expect inflation will persist into 2022.
Outside of that, we believe little has changed from an outlook perspective. We believe geopolitical risks remain, the partisan divide within the U.S. is extreme, and the recovery in markets affected by the coronavirus pandemic remains uneven due to the uptake of vaccines and restrictions on travel. Still, we are encouraged that demand remains strong and supply chain disruptions are slowly getting resolved. Ultimately, as we start 2022, we view any potential increase in volatility as an opportunity for our approach, which is driven by stock selection.
We continue to focus on the long term. While we did make some changes in the Fund during the period, we continued to be incremental and mindful of the increased volatility at the end of the period.
At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Communication Services, Industrials, and Healthcare sectors, while the largest underweights were to the Materials, Energy, and Real Estate sectors, relative to the S&P 500 Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund returned 32.00% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, outperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index, which returned 28.71% for the same period, and the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned 25.16% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund outperformed the 25.00% average return of the Lipper Equity Income Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, posted positive results over the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rallied, bolstered by an accelerating coronavirus vaccine rollout, substantial fiscal and monetary policy support, and upbeat forecasts for economic growth and earnings. Expectations for a strong rebound in the U.S. economy sparked inflationary fears, contributing to a pro-cyclical rotation.

In the second quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rallied amid a backdrop of improving coronavirus vaccination rates, accelerating economic growth, and a broader reopening of the economy. Inflation rose sharply during the quarter, as robust demand for goods and services, along with significant global supply-chain disruptions, drove consumer and producer prices sharply higher.
During the third quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rose against a backdrop of accommodative monetary policy, robust corporate earnings, and strong demand for goods and services. Growth equities outperformed their value counterparts for the quarter; however, surging U.S. Treasury yields sparked a sharp sell-off in shares of large technology companies at the end of September 2021, triggering a powerful rotation into value equities.
U.S. equity markets surged in the fourth quarter of 2021, registering their seventh consecutive quarterly gain. Risk sentiment was bolstered by robust equity inflows, strong corporate earnings, favorable economic data, and extremely accommodative financial conditions. The rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus led to the
largest increase in U.S. coronavirus cases since the onset of the pandemic, prompting a flurry of new restrictions and event cancellations.
Returns varied by market capitalization during the period. Large- and mid-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index, respectively, outperformed small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, during the period. During the twelve-month period, all eleven sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted positive returns, led by the Energy (+55%), Real Estate (+46%), and Financials (+35%) sectors. Conversely, the Utilities (18%), Consumer Staples (19%), and Industrials (21%) sectors lagged the broader S&P 500 Index.
Security selection was the primary driver of Fund’s outperformance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the period. Strong selection within the Industrials, Financials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors was partially offset by weaker selection within the Consumer Staples sector. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, also added to the Fund’s returns relative to the S&P 500 Index during the period. Overweights to the Financials and Energy sectors contributed positively to relative outperformance, but were partially offset by an underweight to the Information Technology sector.
Top contributors to performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the period included Fund’s lack of exposure to Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary) (a constituent in the S&P 500 Index) and overweight positions in Bank of America (Financials) and Pfizer (Healthcare). The share price of Amazon slightly rose over the period, but underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index. Shares of Bank of America (BAC) rose over the period, as the company consecutively reported earnings that beat consensus estimates. The share price of Pfizer rose during the period following the company’s announcement that its booster was shown to provide protection against the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Emergency Use Authorization issuance for its oral antiviral for post-infection coronavirus patients following positive phase 2 and 3 study results that showed it reduced the risk of hospitalization or death.
The Fund’s top detractor from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index was a lack of exposure to NVIDIA (Information Technology) (a S&P 500 constituent). Relative returns were also held back by our overweights to Verizon Communications (Communication Services) and Fidelity National Information Services (Information Technology). Shares of NVIDIA, a leading producer of graphics processing units

(GPUs), rose during the period as optimism around the metaverse concept surged. Shares of Verizon ended the period lower despite consecutively reporting results that beat earnings expectations. The share price of Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) fell sharply after the company lowered profit projections for the year and booked a one-time charge tied to recalculating its deferred tax liability in the United Kingdom (UK) due to corporate tax changes in the country. We maintained an overweight position in FIS within the Fund as of the end of the period.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
Despite continued volatility driven by a number of issues including the Delta and Omicron variants of the coronavirus, inflation concerns, and interest-rate speculation, the market posted positive results for 2021. Despite high stock-price correlations within industries, we have observed meaningful dissent in the market regarding the economic outlook and the path of the recovery from here. Our view is that inflation is likely to remain going forward due to significant supply constraints and labor shortages. We believe that persistent inflation, which we have not seen for years, will put pressure on margins and likely lead to interest-rate increases.
Given this outlook, we favor equities with stability in downturns (e.g., the Healthcare, and Consumer Staples sectors as well as the defense industry) and pockets of value – such as equities that were oversold and have yet to recover (e.g., airlines). In the fourth quarter of 2021, we initiated new positions in the transportation industry and the Consumer Staples sector and increased the Fund’s exposure to the Healthcare and Utilities sectors. These adds were funded by trimming the Fund’s positions in banks and technology companies, particularly certain semiconductor holdings that outperformed over the period.
We remain focused on seeking to limit downside risk in the Fund and seek to avoid companies that we would expect to struggle in an inflationary environment with rising interest rates. Such companies include those with rich valuations amid increasing discount rates and those with margins that are vulnerable to inflation due to an inability to pass on price increases. As always, we remain focused on seeking to identify quality companies with positive risk/reward skew and a narrow range of outcomes.

Manager Discussion
How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Healthcare HLS Fund returned 10.01% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, underperforming the Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, which returned 24.85% for the same period, and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 28.71% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund outperformed the 9.51% average return of the Lipper Global Health and Biotechnology peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
United States (U.S.) healthcare equities returned 24.85% for the period as measured by the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, underperforming the broader U.S. equity market, which returned 28.71% as measured by the S&P 500 Index, but outperforming the global equity market, which returned 21.82% during the period, as measured by the MSCI World Index. Within the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, healthcare services returned 37%, medical technology returned 24%, large-cap biopharma returned 22%, small-cap biopharma returned -2%, and mid-cap biopharma returned -8% during the period.
The Fund underperformed the S& P Composite 1500 Health Care Index over the period, which was due primarily to unfavorable security selection decisions. Security selection was weakest in medical technology, small-cap biopharma, and healthcare services, while selection in large-cap biopharma was strongest. Sector allocation also detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index. The Fund’s overweight to mid- and small-cap biopharma detracted from relative results during the period. This was partially offset by positive results from an underweight to large-cap biopharma.
An underweight to Thermo Fisher Scientific (medical technology), along with out-of-benchmark positions in Zai Lab (mid-cap biopharma) and Daiichi Sankyo (large-cap biopharma) detracted most from relative performance over the period. Shares of Thermo Fisher Scientific rallied, and the Fund’s underweight position negatively affected relative performance. In February 2021, the company reported strong earnings, but expected fading COVID-19 testing volumes in the second quarter, which raised concerns around earnings growth potential. In April 2021, it was announced that Thermo Fisher intended to acquire contract research organization, PPD. After digesting the news of the acquisition, we grew concerned that such a large deal created additional integration risk, and in light of longer-term stock gains, decided it was most appropriate to trim back the Fund’s position. Since we pared back the position, the stock has rallied, and the Fund’s underweight position negatively affected relative performance. We eliminated the Fund’s position later in the period. Shares of Zai Lab declined nearly 50% throughout the year. From a stock specific perspective, the key asset Qinlock, via partnership with Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, failed its phase 3 study for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). From a macro perspective, the stock was also weak due to rising concerns around heightened regulation from the Chinese government, much like we saw during the period across both the technology sector and after-school tutoring industry. Furthermore, Chinese biotech equities were weak after the Chinese Center for Drug Evaluation advocated that clinical trials replace placebos with best supportive care in the comparative arm for all cancer trials. While negatively received by the market, we viewed this development as a positive change that supports sustainable growth of truly innovative drugs over the long term. Shares of Daiichi Sankyo fell during the period. Fiscal-year 2020 revenue slightly declined due in part to the National Health Insurance market expansion rule, causing drug price revisions in Japan that negatively impacted the company as well as the termination of a vaccine partnership with Sanofi. The stock remained under pressure

as the country continues to battle a fourth wave of coronavirus infections. Zai Lab, Kodiak Sciences, and Gracell Biotech were top detractors from absolute performance during the period.
The Fund’s lack of exposure to Johnson & Johnson (large-cap biopharma), Medtronic (medical technology), and Merck & Co. (large-cap biopharma), each of which were constituents of the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index, was the top contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index. The lack of exposure to Johnson & Johnson (J&J) was a positive contributor to performance, as shares of J&J underperformed the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index during the period. Regulators called for a pause in distribution of the company's coronavirus vaccine after cases of people developing a rare blood-clotting disorder were investigated. Distribution of the coronavirus vaccine resumed with additional warnings, but no restrictions. Not owning Medtronic was a positive contributor to relative performance as shares underperformed during the period. The headquarters of Medtronic’s Diabetes business received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which prompted the company to revise earnings guidance downward for the Diabetes segment. The warning letter focused on the inadequacy of specific medical device quality system requirements at the Northridge facility in the areas of risk assessment, corrective and preventive action, complaint handling, device recalls, and reporting of adverse events. Additionally, the Fund’s lack of exposure to Merck was a positive contributor to performance, as shares of Merck traded lower early in 2021 after the company reported 2020 results that were below expectations, including a negative $2.5 billion revenue impact from the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, Merck announced it was discontinuing the development of two coronavirus vaccine candidates after clinical trial data showed the drug candidates were unable to trigger sufficient immune responses in patients to support further testing. Shares declined further in November when rival Pfizer topped its antiviral COVID-19 pill in a key study. Top absolute contributors included UnitedHealth Group, Pfizer and Eli Lilly during the period.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, we believe that disruptions will likely continue for many months, but we are encouraged by strong fundamentals across the Healthcare sector, supported by hopes that there will soon be a peak in the wave of infections stemming from the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, which could lead the way to a more normalized investment backdrop. Within the biopharma industry, we believe valuations are compelling as we enter 2022. Valuations of large cap biopharma companies in aggregate have been at historic lows due to the threat of U.S. drug-price reform. This issue is expected to be largely behind us soon, and with that, we believe investors will re-focus attention on drug pipelines, compelling innovation, and overall research and development productivity. Within small- and mid-cap biopharma, the significant pullback which started in February 2021 and continued through the year has left valuations at the end of the period looking much more compelling than they were a year ago in our view. In addition, we believe the attractive valuation
backdrop and breakthrough innovation in the biopharma industry, particularly in oncology, immunology, and certain rare diseases, is creating a rich opportunity set for specialist investors, in our view.
Outside of biopharma, we consider the opportunity set to be equally compelling. Certain medical technology companies are seeing strong fundamentals as they help enable robust drug development and manufacturing in increasingly diverse therapeutic categories. Diagnostics companies are helping with coronavirus testing, developing more convenient routine medical tests, and expanding into new attractive categories such as early cancer screening. Medical device companies have been impacted from pandemic challenges but will likely see increased demand as patients resume elective procedures and the market starts to focus on very attractive pipelines, in our view. And importantly, the overall delivery of healthcare continues to evolve. The U.S., for example, is experiencing a decades-long transition toward a fee-for-value payment system from an historic fee-for-service approach. These encouraging signs across the various Healthcare subsectors, coupled with strong valuation support, leaves us with a positive outlook for the Healthcare sector in 2022.
In selecting equities for the Fund, we favor companies that develop innovative products designed to address important unmet medical needs. Over the long term, we believe that innovation, an aging population, and the globalization of demand for cutting-edge Western-style medicines are likely to continue to drive growth in the Healthcare sector.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Risks of focusing investments on the healthcare related sector include regulatory and legal developments, patent considerations, intense competitive pressures, rapid technological changes, potential product obsolescence, and liquidity risk. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of the Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund returned 7.82% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, which was in line with its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), which returned 7.82% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund underperformed the 8.50% average return of the Lipper International Large-Cap Growth Fund peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, international equities rose 7.82% as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net). In the first quarter of 2021, international equities rose as markets continued to advance amid a favorable outlook for global economic growth and substantial support from governments and central banks. Despite a broadening rollout of vaccines, global coronavirus trends remained volatile, with Europe experiencing a sharp rise in coronavirus infections. The European Parliament approved the Recovery and Resilience Facility, which will provide €672.5 billion (US$758.6 billion) in grants and loans to help European Union (EU) countries to alleviate the social and economic effects of the pandemic.
International equities rose in the second quarter of 2021. A combination of surging commodity prices, pent-up demand, global supply-chain disruptions, and stimulus-powered economic growth continued to drive inflation expectations higher, prompting some central banks to raise interest rates or consider tighter monetary policy. The global decline in coronavirus cases since mid-April 2021 came to a halt, with the rapid spread of the highly infectious Delta variant disrupting plans to lift lockdowns in many countries and reopen economies. The United States (U.S.) secured the backing of 130 countries for a global minimum tax (GMT) of at least 15% on corporations as part of a broader agreement to overhaul international tax rules.
In the third quarter of 2021, international equities fell as markets contended with pandemic uncertainty, the imminent prospect of reduced quantitative easing and policy tightening, and persistent supply-chain dislocations that amplified the risk of more sustained inflation. In Asia, the spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus shuttered factories and snarled traffic at several major ports, exacerbating supply-chain disruptions. Mounting inflation forced many emerging-markets countries to raise interest rates. China’s regulatory
crackdown on private education businesses and companies that handle large quantities of data pummeled the shares of Chinese technology stocks. A debt crisis at one of China’s largest property developers destabilized financial markets and fueled concerns about lasting damage to China’s credit conditions.
International equities advanced in the fourth quarter of 2021, as risk sentiment was bolstered by strong corporate earnings, a continuance of accommodative financial conditions, and robust global equity inflows. Equity volatility spiked sharply as the Omicron variant of the coronavirus proliferated across the globe, although the variant’s impact on financial markets was tempered by evidence that it posed less-severe health consequences than previous variants. In response to persistent inflation pressures, many central bank policymakers in developed markets began unwinding their stimulus measures and setting a course for higher interest rates. The Bank of England was the first major central bank to increase its policy rate. The People’s Bank of China expanded its support for the nation’s slowing economy, cutting the reserve requirement ratio for banks by 50 basis points (bps) and lowering the one-year loan prime rate to 3.8%.
During the period, U.S. equities outperformed non-U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), respectively, and developed-market equities outperformed their emerging-market counterparts, as measured by the MSCI World and MSCI Emerging Markets Indexes, respectively. Within the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), eight of the eleven sectors posted positive returns during the period; the Energy (27%), Financials (17%), and Information Technology (15%) sectors posted the largest gains.
Security selection was mixed over the period, and contributors and detractors roughly netted each other out at the portfolio level. Weak security selection in the Financials, Information Technology, and Healthcare sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), while stronger selection in the Real Estate, Materials, and Consumer Staples sectors contributed positively. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up security selection process, contributed positively to relative performance during the period. The Fund’s underweights to the Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors as well as an overweight to the Information Technology sector benefited results, while underweights to the Financials and Healthcare sectors detracted from performance. On a regional basis, security selection was weakest within Emerging Markets and the United Kingdom.

Fund Overview – (continued)
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
Top detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) during the period included StoneCo (Information Technology), Koninklijke Phillips (Healthcare), and Worldline (Information Technology). Shares of StoneCo, a Brazilian fintech company, ended the period lower. StoneCo reported a third-quarter earnings miss, as the company reported a $230 million net loss due to a write-down on its investment in Banco Inter. We eliminated the Fund’s small position in StoneCo during the period, as we lost some confidence in management as they moved into lending businesses in this challenging economic environment. Shares of Koninklijke Philips, an electronics and medical device manufacturer, declined during the period after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expressed concern about a polyester-based polyurethane foam in the company’s ventilator which had been recalled in June 2021. The FDA inspection report also raised questions of when the company first knew about the problems. We continued to hold the stock within the Fund at the end of the period as we believe the fundamental impact of the recalls is limited and, after connecting with the company and our internal Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Team analyst, we do not believe there are deeper structural issues at play. Worldline is a French digital payments and transactional services company. Shares fell sharply in October 2021 after third-quarter results missed consensus expectations amid lackluster organic revenue growth. Additionally, investors were disappointed by management’s growth and margin outlook. We have less conviction in the valuation opportunity and growth outlook going forward. As a result, we eliminated the Fund’s position and have invested in opportunities that we believe offer more compelling risk/reward.
Suncor Energy (Energy), Constellation Software (Information Technology), and Hermes (Consumer Discretionary) were among the top contributors to performance relative to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) during the period. Suncor Energy is a Canadian energy company. The company’s share price was strengthened by rising oil prices during the period. Demand surged as coronavirus restrictions eased while supplies remained relatively constrained. Suncor Energy also reported strong earnings coming out of the pandemic, doubling its dividend which had been cut in 2020. We eliminated the position within the Fund during the period due to positive performance and rotated capital into other energy exposure that is more directly geared to oil supply/demand imbalance. Shares of Constellation Software rose during the period. The diversified software company announced a number of acquisitions, including Fair Isaac Corporation’s Collection and Recovery Business, online recruitment solutions firm Jobillico, and modular billing subscription provider Kansys. We trimmed the Fund’s position on strength later in the period and continued to own the stock at the end of the period, as we like the strong acquisitive business model, and that management has executed on their vision well. Shares of Hermes increased during the period due to positive earnings and heightened sales growth. In addition, the French luxury designer demonstrated strong control over its supply chain, and was not as affected by the global supply chain disruptions. We trimmed the stock on strength during the period and continued to hold the position in the Fund at the end of the period as we like the company’s strong brand and design prowess.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, we have seen continued volatility driven by inflation and interest rate concerns, slowing growth and the regulatory cycle in China, and a non-linear and uneven economic recovery as regions experience resurgences in coronavirus infections and face new variants. As the world adjusts to this new normal of rolling bouts of volatility across regions, industries, and end markets, we remain focused on seeking to identify compelling bottom-up opportunities where future returns on capital are mispriced.
Amid recent drastic stock price moves, we remain focused on maintaining a balanced portfolio as markets remain very macro-driven given the wide range of global economic outcomes. As of the end of the period, we are looking for companies with a competitive advantage that are well positioned to endure what we believe may be a more challenging macroeconomic environment in the coming quarters. We are also mindful of some holdings with extended valuations, particularly for companies with limited cash generation, given our expectation that many central banks are likely to reduce stimulus and raise interest rates.
We are monitoring the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and are mindful of its potential impact on global economic activity, central bank actions, and supply-chain bottlenecks, which are beginning to show slight signs of easing but are still creating challenges across value chains. We are also paying attention to the impact of China on the broader global economy and demand. We expect volatility may increase in 2022 amid the complex backdrop of an uneven global recovery where countries are at different phases of their economic cycles. We aim to take advantage of volatility and market dislocations where appropriate, seeking to invest in companies across sectors and geographies that we believe have an underappreciated ability to improve or sustain returns on capital.
At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors relative to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net). The Fund’s largest underweights were to the Consumer Staples and Communication Services sectors. From a regional perspective, the Fund’s largest overweight was Developed Europe and the Middle East ex United Kingdom, and the Fund was most underweight to Emerging Markets.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, geographic regions or countries, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford MidCap HLS Fund returned 9.91% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, which returned 24.76% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund underperformed the 13.05% average return of the Morningstar Mid-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?
United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, posted positive results over the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021. In the first half of 2021, U.S. equities gained amid a backdrop of improving vaccination rates, accelerating economic growth, and a broader reopening of the economy. Inflation rose sharply during the second quarter of 2021, as robust demand for goods and services, along with significant global supply-chain disruptions, drove consumer and producer prices sharply higher. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its view that elevated price pressures may prove transitory, but the Fed rattled markets by considerably raising its inflation forecast for 2021 and signaling the potential for interest-rate increases in the near term. This shift in expectations triggered a rotation from value and cyclically sensitive equities to growth equities. U.S. equities continued to climb in the third quarter of 2021 against a backdrop of accommodative monetary policy, robust corporate earnings, and strong demand for goods and services, while risk sentiment was pressured by anxiety about rising inflation, imminent policy normalization, slight economic growth, and uncertainty about fiscal stimulus and the federal debt ceiling. Growth equities outperformed their value counterparts for the quarter; however, surging U.S. Treasury yields sparked a sharp sell-off in shares of large technology companies at the end of September 2021, triggering a powerful rotation into value equities. Coronavirus cases fell sharply in September 2021, although the proliferation of the Delta variant of the coronavirus in July and August 2021 weighed on consumer confidence and dampened reopening momentum. The Fed trimmed its 2021 gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast to 5.9% from 7%, and signaled it would look to taper asset purchases later in the year if economic conditions held steady.
Returns during the period varied by market capitalization. Small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, underperformed mid-cap and large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively. Ten of the eleven sectors within the S&P MidCap 400 Index posted positive returns, with the
Energy (67%), Real Estate (36%), and Financials (33%) sectors leading the way. Conversely, the Communication Services (-4%), Consumer Staples (11%), and Healthcare (12%) sectors were the worst performers during the period.
Both security selection and sector allocation detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index. Security selection was driven by weak selection in the Healthcare, Industrials, and Communication Services sectors. This was partially offset by stronger selection in the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Utilities sectors. Sector allocation, as a result of our bottom-up security selection process, detracted from relative returns over the period, driven by the Fund’s overweights to the Information Technology and Healthcare sectors, while underweights to the Consumer Staples and Utilities sectors partially offset results.
Top detractors from relative performance during the period included Allakos (Healthcare), ChemoCentryx (Healthcare), and Reata Pharmaceuticals (Healthcare). Shares of Allakos declined sharply at the end of the period after the company reported disappointing results from phase 3 and phase 2/3 studies of pipeline drug Lirentelimab for the treatment of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. We eliminated the Fund’s position in Allakos during the period. ChemoCentryx shares fell sharply after a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel had a surprising split vote on the question of whether the risk-benefit profile of avacopan supports approval due to efficacy concerns. We eliminated the Fund’s position in ChemoCentryx during the period. Shares of Reata Pharmaceuticals fell at the end of the period after an FDA panel voted unanimously that the benefits of the company’s kidney disease drug, bardoxolone, do not outweigh the risks. The Fund continued to hold a position as of the end of the period.
Top contributors to relative performance during the period included Credit Acceptance (Financials), Teradata (Information Technology), and Coherent (Information Technology). Shares of Credit Acceptance climbed higher over the period after the subprime auto lender reported consolidated net income of $288.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $94.6 million for the same period in 2020. The Fund continued to hold a position as of the end of the period. Shares of Teradata, a database and analytics software company, rose over the period. The company reported strong earnings during 2021, including beating revenue expectations during the second quarter of 2021. The company stated that it expects total annual recurring revenue for fiscal-year 2021 to grow at a mid-to-high-single-digit percentage year-over-year. The Fund continued to hold a position as of the end of the period. Shares of Coherent advanced during the period after receiving multiple acquisition offers. The laser equipment

maker accepted a bid from II-VI (also held in the Fund) during the period that will exchange each Coherent share for $220 in cash and 0.91 shares of II-VI. We eliminated the Fund’s position in Coherent during the period.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, we believe the outlook for mid-cap equities remains positive, with signs of continued strength in consumer spending. In our view, high savings accumulated during the economic shutdown are likely to be deployed into services with pent-up demand. We are balancing this optimistic outlook with signs of persistent inflation and supply-chain disruption. Additionally, valuations in our Fundamentals, Valuation, Expectations (F/V/E) framework continue to look expensive in certain areas of the market, particularly the software as a service (SaaS) and medical technology industries.
Within the Fund, we own a number of companies, specifically in the electrical equipment industry, that have experienced some level of supply chain disruption. Despite this, we believe the demand backdrop is strong and there is a large capital spending cycle coming in 3D sensing, 5G, data communications, facial recognition, and semiconductors.
The biopharma industry group has continued to experience challenges as of the end of the period, driven in part by FDA delays and a number of security specific disappointments. Given this backdrop, as of the end of the period, we have begun selling shares of companies that we believe have binary outcomes and investing in companies that have approved drugs already on the market. Other new areas we have invested in as of the end of the period include a leading e-commerce supplier of pet products, a high-quality trucking and logistics company, and a locomotive and after-market parts company with dominant market share.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Integration of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) factors into the investment process may not work as intended.

Manager Discussion
How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Small Cap Growth HLS Fund returned 4.02% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 2.83% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund underperformed the 11.32% average return of the 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?
United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, posted positive results over the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rallied, bolstered by an accelerating coronavirus vaccine rollout, substantial support from fiscal and monetary policy, and upbeat forecasts for economic growth and earnings. Expectations for a strong rebound in the U.S. economy sparked inflationary fears, contributing to a pro-cyclical rotation. The U.S. Democratic Party secured slim majorities in both houses of Congress after winning control of the Senate, bolstering U.S. President Biden’s prospects of advancing his legislative agenda.
In the second quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rallied amid a backdrop of improving coronavirus vaccination rates, accelerating economic growth, and a broader reopening of the economy. Inflation rose sharply during the quarter, as robust demand for goods and services, along with significant global supply-chain disruptions, drove consumer and producer prices sharply higher.
During the third quarter of 2021, U.S. equities rose against a backdrop of accommodative monetary policy, robust corporate earnings, and strong demand for goods and services. Growth equities outperformed their value counterparts for the quarter; however, surging U.S. Treasury yields sparked a sharp sell-off in shares of large technology companies at the end of September 2021, triggering a powerful rotation into value equities.
U.S. equity markets surged in the fourth quarter of 2021, registering their seventh consecutive quarterly gain. Risk sentiment was bolstered by robust equity inflows, strong corporate earnings, favorable economic data, and extremely accommodative financial conditions.
The rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus led to the largest increase in U.S. coronavirus cases since the onset of the pandemic, prompting a flurry of new restrictions and event cancellations. Inflation continued to surge against a backdrop of severe supply and labor shortages, rising energy prices, and high demand for goods and services, which resulted in the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) coming under heightened scrutiny amid anxiety about a potential policy mistake. In November, inflation accelerated to its highest level since 1982, as the Consumer Price Index rose 6.8% annually at the headline level and 4.9% at the core level. U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure bill, but the fate of the Democrats' $1.75 trillion spending and climate change plan was uncertain as of the end of the period after U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin withheld support for the current version of the plan due to concerns that it will exacerbate soaring inflation.
Returns varied by market capitalization during the period. Large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, outperformed mid-cap and small-cap equities during the period, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, respectively. Nine of the eleven sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth Index had positive returns during the period, led by the Energy (+70%), Real Estate (+25%), and Utilities (+22%) sectors. Healthcare was the worst performing sector during the period, down 21% during the period.
Sector allocation, which is a residual of our bottom-up security selection process, was the primary contributor to the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index. This was driven by the Fund’s underweight to the Healthcare sector, and overweights to the Industrials and Real Estate sectors. The Fund’s underweights in the Energy and Materials sectors, and an overweight position in the Financials sector detracted from relative performance. Security selection for the Fund also contributed positively to relative performance. During the period, selection was strongest within the Information Technology, Industrials, and Real Estate sectors, while selection was weakest in the Healthcare, Communication Services, and Consumer Staples sectors.
The top contributors to the Fund’s relative outperformance of the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the period were overweight positions in Perficient (Information Technology), Synaptics (Information Technology), and Triumph Bancorp (Financials). The
Hartford Small Cap Growth HLS Fund
Fund Overview – (continued)
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
share price of Perficient, a digital consultancy firm, rose during the period after posting strong results at the end of July 2021. Revenue grew 26% to $184.1 million, beating consensus estimates, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.84 also coming in higher than estimates. Third-quarter 2021 results presented in October of the same year also showed strong year-over-year growth. The share price of Synaptics, a human interface solutions provider, rose during the period after the company reported results in November 2021 that beat consensus estimates. Demand continued to be far in excess of supply, with a backlog of purchase orders that constituted over 90% of fiscal 2022 estimated revenues. Synaptics also completed its previously announced acquisition of DSP Group in December 2021. Shares of Triumph Bancorp rose during the period after the company’s subsidiary, TriumphPay, announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire HubTran, a cloud-based provider of automation software for the transportation industry's back-office. The firm also reported results in October 2021 that grew year-over-year on net interest income and net interest margin.
The top relative detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the period were overweight positions in Cardlytics (Communication Services), GAN (Consumer Discretionary), and Hydrofarm Holdings (Industrials). The share price of Cardlytics, a marketing and purchase intelligence platform, fell during the period after the company reported its earnings results in August 2021. Revenue came in below consensus estimates and platform billings were also below guidance, due to labor shortages and supply chain challenges over the period. Management updated full-year guidance during third-quarter 2021 results that showed solid year-over-year growth. During the period, the Fund initiated a position in GAN, an enterprise solutions provider for online casino gaming. The share price of GAN fell during the period on the back of earnings reported in November 2021 that saw revenue decrease 7% quarter-over-quarter. During the period, the Fund also initiated a position in Hydrofarm Holdings, a producer of agriculture equipment and supplies. The share price of Hydrofarm Holdings fell during the period as the firm reported results in November 2021 and reaffirmed their full-year 2021 outlook. Investors reacted negatively to revenue falling 7% quarter-over-quarter.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, it appeared that negotiations on the large spending bill have resumed, and the U.S. Congress has extended the debt ceiling. Our expectation remains that the total package, which includes the bipartisan bill signed into law, will support growth in 2022.
Consistent with the last several months, we believe inflation expectations are a major concern, as companies struggle to offset costs with pricing and are seeing margin compression. The Fed has subtly changed its view on tightening monetary conditions over the last few months, and we continue to monitor these developments closely. Labor force participation rates are expected to continue increasing as stimulus effects wane, limiting the risk of runaway
inflation. Additionally, we are encouraged thus far by the lower mortality rate in the face of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. As confidence returns, we expect inflation will persist into 2022.
Outside of that, we believe little has changed from an outlook perspective as of the end of the period. We believe geopolitical risks remain, the partisan divide within the U.S. is extreme, and the recovery in markets affected by the coronavirus pandemic remains uneven due to the uptake of vaccines and restrictions on travel. Still, we are encouraged that demand remains strong and supply chain disruptions are slowly getting resolved. Ultimately, as we start 2022, we view any potential increase in volatility as an opportunity to potentially identify attractive equities with our approach, which is driven by stock selection.
We continue to focus on the long term. While we did make some changes in the Fund during the period, we continued to be incremental and mindful of the impact of volatility at the close of the period.
At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index were to the Industrials, Real Estate, and Information Technology sectors, while the largest underweights were to the Energy, Healthcare, and Materials sectors.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Manager Discussion
How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Small Company HLS Fund returned 1.56% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index which returned 2.83% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund also underperformed the 11.32% average return of the 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?
United States (U.S.) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, advanced over the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, amid the accelerating global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, favorable outlook for global economic growth, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and strong corporate earnings. However, markets also contended with volatile COVID-19 trends, fluctuating economic growth projections, and the potential prospect of reduced quantitative easing and policy tightening. Over the same period, inflation surged upwards amidst severe supply and labor shortages, rising energy prices, and heightened demand for goods and services. Market participants feared that inflation could persist for longer than expected, which prompted the Federal Reserve (Fed) to announce an accelerated reduction of its asset purchases. Towards the end of 2021, the Fed also projected three interest rate increases in 2022, up from its September forecast of one increase. U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a roughly U.S. $1 trillion infrastructure bill in November 2021, but the fate of the Democrats' U.S. $1.75 trillion spending and climate change plan remained uncertain at the end of the period after U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin withheld his support due to concerns that it may exacerbate soaring inflation. The rapid spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant prompted a flurry of new restrictions and event cancellations to end the 2021 calendar year.
Returns during the period varied by market-capitalization. Small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, underperformed mid-cap and large-cap equities during the period, as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P 500 Index, respectively. Nine of the eleven sectors within the Russell 2000 Growth Index posted positive
returns during the period, with the Energy (+70%), Real Estate (+25%), and Utilities (+22%) sectors leading the way. The only two negative performing sectors during the period were Healthcare (-21%) and Communication Services (-12%).
Stock selection was the main driver of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, primarily due to selection within the Healthcare, Financials, and Communication Services sectors. This was partially offset by stronger selection in the Information Technology (IT), Industrials, and Energy sectors, which contributed positively to relative performance. Sector allocation, which is the result of bottom-up stock selection, contributed positively to relative returns, primarily due to overweight allocations in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors as well as an underweight in the Healthcare sector. This was partially offset by an underweight allocation to the Consumer Staples and Materials sectors, which detracted from performance.
Top detractors from relative performance during the period included TPG Pace Beneficial (Financials), Chegg (Consumer Discretionary), and Kaltura (Information Technology). The share price of special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), TPG Pace Beneficial, fell over the period amid investigations into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors in connection with the company’s proposed merger with EVBox. We eliminated the Fund’s position during the period. Chegg is an online education platform that offers students tools and resources to help with their studies. The company reported weak results during the period, sending the stock down on much lower-than-expected guidance as management highlighted weak enrollment trends and subscriber growth with limited visibility into when this would turn around. We eliminated the Fund’s position during the period to fund other opportunities. The share price of Kaltura fell after the video cloud platform reported a disappointing third quarter 2021 net loss and provided fourth quarter 2021 guidance below market consensus. Revenue was up 40% year-over-year yet decelerated from the 45% growth seen in the second quarter of 2021. We exited the position during the period to fund other opportunities.

Fund Overview – (continued)
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
Top contributors to relative performance during the period included Perficient (Information Technology), Synaptics (Information Technology), and Skyline Champion (Consumer Discretionary). The share price of Perficient, a digital consultancy firm, accelerated higher after announcing strong second-quarter results at the end of July 2021. Revenue and earnings topped estimates and management raised its future outlook. The share price of Synaptics, a human interface solutions provider, rose during the period after the company reported results in November 2021 that beat consensus estimates. Demand continued to be far in excess of supply, with a backlog of purchase orders that constituted over 90% of fiscal 2022 estimated revenues. Synaptics also completed its previously announced acquisition of DSP Group in December 2021. The share price of Skyline Champion increased during the period after the company reported second-quarter 2021 earnings that exceeded expectations, with net sales rising roughly 63% year-over-year. The U.S.-based homebuilder experienced an increase in an already strong backlog over the period, as it remains focused on increasing production amidst the rising supply chain challenges.
Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
Earlier in the calendar year 2021, we focused more on positioning the Fund into what we perceived as re-emerging opportunities, given the reopening of the economy. Many of these opportunities were in the Industrials, Financials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. As we progressed through 2021, we trimmed back the Fund’s exposures in some of these sectors as we believed the risk/reward profile looked less favorable in our up/down framework. Most notably, we reduced the Fund’s exposures in the Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors and used the sales proceeds to add positions to the Fund within certain areas of the Information Technology and Industrials sectors. As of the end of the period, we are seeking to maintain a good degree of balance, and not be overly reliant on any one scenario to play out.
As of the end of the period, the Fund’s largest overweights were to the Information Technology, Industrials, and Communication Services sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweights were to the Consumer Staples, Materials and Financials sectors, relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Stock HLS Fund returned 24.98% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, which returned 26.46% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund also underperformed the 26.49% average return of the Lipper Large-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?
United States (US) equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, advanced over the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, amid the accelerating global rollout of coronavirus vaccines, favorable outlook for global economic growth, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and strong corporate earnings. However, markets also contended with volatile COVID-19 trends, fluctuating economic growth projections, and the potential prospect of reduced quantitative easing and policy tightening. Over the same period, inflation surged upwards amidst severe supply and labor shortages, rising energy prices, and heightened demand for goods and services. Market participants feared that inflation could persist for longer than expected, which prompted the Federal Reserve (Fed) to announce an accelerated reduction of its asset purchases. Towards the end of 2021, the Fed also projected three interest rate increases in 2022, up from its September forecast of one increase. U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law a roughly U.S. $1 trillion infrastructure bill in November 2021, but the fate of the Democrats' U.S. $1.75 trillion spending and climate change plan remained uncertain at the end of the period after U.S. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin withheld his support due to concerns that it may exacerbate soaring inflation. The rapid spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant prompted a flurry of new restrictions and event cancellations to end the 2021 calendar year.
Returns varied by market capitalization during the period, as small-cap equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, underperformed both large- and mid-cap equities during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index, respectively. During the twelve-month period, all eleven sectors within the Russell 1000 Index rose, led by the Energy (+55.84%), Real Estate (+41.96%), and Financials (+35.40%) sectors. Conversely, the Utilities (+17.54%), Consumer Staples (+17.86%), and Communication Services (+18.27%) sectors lagged over the same period.
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Russell 1000 Index was primarily driven by sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, due primarily to the Fund’s overweight exposures to the Industrials and Consumer Staples sectors, as well as an underweight exposure to the Information Technology sector. This underperformance was partially offset by an underweight exposure to the Communication Services sector and a lack of exposure to the Utilities sector in the Fund. Security selection, on the other hand, contributed positively to relative results. Strong selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and Information Technology sectors was partially offset by weaker selection in the Healthcare, Communication Services, and Materials sectors during the period.
Not holding Alphabet (Communication Services) and NVIDIA (Information Technology) in the Fund (each a constituent of the Russell 1000 Index), along with the Fund’s positions in Medtronic (Healthcare) and Honeywell (Industrials) were among the top relative detractors during the period. The headquarters of Medtronic’s Diabetes business received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the period which prompted the company to revise guidance downward for its Diabetes segment. Honeywell faced challenges from supply chain issues and rising inflation over the same period. Concerns over the new COVID-19 variant Omicron weighed negatively on the company’s exposure to aerospace, with airlines being one of the worst performing sectors during the pandemic.
Top contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell 1000 Index during the period included not holding benchmark constituent Amazon.com (Consumer Discretionary), along with the Fund’s positions in Accenture (Information Technology) and Public Storage (Real Estate). The share price of Accenture rose during the period. The IT consulting firm reported first-quarter 2022 results that beat consensus estimates as more clients sought its cloud and security services due to a shift to hybrid working models. In addition, management raised its revenue and earnings per share (EPS) guidance for fiscal-year 2022. The share price of Public Storages ended the period higher. The self-storage real estate investment trust (REIT) reported third-quarter 2021 results and boosted its core funds from operations per share forecast for the full year. In addition, the REIT purchased All Storage's 56 properties which suggests that self-storage demand remains strong and rental rates may continue to rise into 2022.

Derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund during the period and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period and looking forward into 2022, we expect to see heightened investor concern over higher inflation and interest rates. In our opinion, equity markets have long been driven higher by a narrow list of technology companies, high investor risk tolerance, strong retail support, and persistent growth expectations. As of the end of the period, we believe growth expectations among investors are fading due to higher inflation and interest rate concerns. As of the end of the period, we believe value equities overall appear to be the best positioned to perform well into 2022.
As of the end of the period, we maintained overweight positions in the Fund in the Industrials and Consumer Staples sectors and underweight positions in the Communication Services and Information Technology sectors relative to the Russell 1000 Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund returned -0.95% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which returned -1.54% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund also outperformed the -1.25% average return of the Lipper Core Bond Funds peer group, a group of funds with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Most global fixed income sectors generated positive returns during the year. Sovereign yields moved sharply higher across many developed markets as their growth outlook improved and major central banks laid the groundwork for the end of monetary accommodation and eventually began to reduce monetary stimulus at varying speeds during the period. Credit spreads had mixed results; most investment grade fixed income credit spreads were generally flat to modestly lower over the period while high yield spreads decreased more. Global gross domestic product (GDP) growth slowed but continued to expand across most countries by the end of the period.
Inflation figures rose to multi-decade highs across a number of countries in 2021, driven by strong demand and ongoing supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. Consumer confidence measures lowered during the period amid the spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant, though uncertainty was tempered by the relatively low severity of infection over the same time period.
By the end of the period, Omicron concerns did not delay the withdrawal of global monetary accommodation, as most central banks remained focused on upside inflation risks. To this end, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that its Asset Purchase Programme will only be raised to €40 billion (US$45.4 billion) per month when the pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP) ends. The Bank of Canada reiterated an expected increase in rates in the second or third quarters of 2022. Within Emerging Markets (EM), select central banks in Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa continued to increase rates. The People’s Bank of China contrarily added accommodative policy by cutting the reserve ratio and
the policy rate due to persistent weak growth, driven by the regulatory clampdown on sectors like Real Estate and Technology. The U.S. dollar strengthened versus most currencies over the period.
Absolute returns were negative for most investment-grade fixed income sectors over the period, as central banks scaled back accommodative policies implemented to address the coronavirus pandemic and communicated potential interest rate increases to combat rising inflation. High yielding fixed income sectors had positive absolute returns for the same period. On an excess return basis, the Emerging Markets Debt (EMD) and Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) sectors were among the worst performers, while most other fixed income sectors had positive excess returns for the period.
The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, over the period. The Fund’s out-of-benchmark allocations to bank loans and high yield securities, particularly in the Industrials sector, were the primary drivers of relative outperformance, as high yield spreads continued to grind lower for the period. The Fund’s positioning within investment-grade credit, particularly in the Industrials sector, also contributed positively to relative performance. Select exposure to EMD and developed non-U.S. Dollar securities also contributed favorably to relative performance over the period.
The Fund’s allocation to securitized sectors, particularly non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), had a positive impact on relative performance, benefiting from continued economic recovery. The Fund’s positioning within MBS detracted from relative performance over the period.
The Fund implemented tactical duration and yield curve positions during the period, which had a positive overall impact on relative performance. The Fund maintained exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which also benefited relative performance during the period as breakeven inflation rates rose.
During the period, the Fund used Treasury futures and options to manage duration and yield curve positioning, which overall had a negative impact on performance. The Fund also used currency forwards and futures to implement foreign interest rate and currency positions. The Fund’s currency positions had a slightly negative impact on performance during the period. Credit default swap index (CDX)

positions were used during the period to manage credit exposure. High yield CDX positions had a neutral impact on performance during the period, while investment grade CDX positions were additive to overall relative results. The CDX Emerging Markets positioning in the Fund detracted from relative results over the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, we continued to position the Fund with a neutral risk posture overall as we have grown wary of some fixed income exposures, particularly certain higher-yielding credit sectors. However, as of the end of the period, we still believe some credit risk sectors could benefit from continued above-trend global growth, underpinned by healing labor markets and a more resilient public health backdrop. The Fund ended the period with an underweight position in investment grade credit due to tight valuations and better observed opportunities in other sectors in our view. The Fund continued to hold out-of-benchmark allocations to high yield and bank loans as of the end of the period as we expect high yield default rates to remain low and bank loans to benefit from higher policy rates. In addition, as of the end of the period, the Fund held exposure to various securitized sectors, including non-agency RMBS, high quality collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), and senior CMBS tranches with attractive collateral in our view, as they continued to benefit from strong consumer fundamentals. As of the end of the period, the Fund remained overweight to agency MBS and we are focusing on relative value opportunities and income. Finally, the Fund continued to hold select exposure to EMD that we perceive as having attractive valuations and fundamentals.
Important Risks
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. The Fund may allocate a portion of its assets to specialist portfolio managers, which may not work as intended. • Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, event, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • The risks associated with mortgage-related and asset-backed securities as well as collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, liquidity, default and extension risk. • The purchase of securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market can result in higher portfolio turnover and related expenses as well as price and counterparty risk. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, regulatory and counterparty risk. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets. • Investments in high-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risks of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. • Obligations of U.S. Government agencies are supported by varying degrees of credit but are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. • Restricted securities may be more difficult to sell and price than other securities. • The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
The Class IA shares of Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund returned -0.19% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, underperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Short Treasury 9-12 Month Index, which returned 0.00% for the same period. For the same period, the Class IA shares of the Fund underperformed the 0.07% average return of the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds peer group, a group of funds that invest primarily in investment grade issues with dollar-weighted average maturities of one to five years.
Why did the Fund perform this way?
Over the period, the United States (U.S.) Treasury yield curve flattened as short-term yields increased following a non-accommodative pivot by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) as it laid the groundwork for policy normalization in response to sustained inflationary pressures. U.S. Senator Joe Manchin scaled back his support for U.S. President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better legislation partly due to rising inflation concerns.
Credit spreads tightened considerably during the first half of 2021 as COVID-19 vaccination rates increased, economic data improved, and fiscal stimulus continued to support the economy. However, spreads widened in the second half of 2021, driven by increasing inflation risk and concerns over the impact of new coronavirus variants on the economic recovery. U.S. labor market data fell shy of estimates late in the period, though likely due to seasonal adjustments and a low response rate to the survey in our opinion.
By the end of the period, the concerns surrounding the Omicron coronavirus variant did not delay the Fed’s plans to withdraw monetary accommodation, as the Fed accelerated the timeline for tapering its large-scale asset purchase program and projected three interest-rate increases in both 2022 and 2023. The U.S. dollar strengthened versus most currencies for the period.
The primary detractor from the Fund’s relative performance versus the Bloomberg Short Treasury 9-12 Month Index during the period was the Fund’s duration and yield-curve positioning. An overweight duration stance in the short-end (two-year and three-year) portion of the yield curve had a negative impact on relative returns as front-end yields rose during the period. An out-of-benchmark allocation to investment grade credit contributed positively to relative returns, particularly allocations to securities with issuers in the Financial and Industrial sectors. The Fund’s investment-grade credit exposures generated positive excess returns for the period. An allocation to asset backed securities (ABS) also benefited relative performance, as the ABS sector generated positive excess returns during the period.
During the period, derivatives were not used in a significant manner in the Fund and did not have a material impact on performance during the period.
What is the outlook as of the end of the period?
As of the end of the period, the Fund was positioned with a slight pro-cyclical risk posture, favoring the credit and securitized sectors. We expect growth to normalize in 2022. In our view, supply disruptions and labor shortages are weighing on the recovery in the near term but should wane throughout the year.
The Fed remains on track to conclude tapering its asset purchases by the end of March 2022, and to lift policy rates afterwards, in our opinion. We believe the timeframe for reducing the Fed’s balance sheet has been pulled forward as well. We believe the course of inflation will largely determine the Fed’s future pace and magnitude of removing monetary accommodation. We positioned the Fund slightly short duration as of the end of the period, based on our expectation that rates will move higher over the course of 2022, but not necessarily in a linear path.
We continued to position the Fund with out-of-benchmark allocations to investment grade corporates, ABS, and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) as of the end of the period. Within investment-grade corporates, we continued to favor U.S. banks as of the end of the period, as we believed their balance sheets were less risky due to improved capital ratios and regulation. We were positive towards ABS as of the end of the period given what we perceived to be strong consumer balance sheets and low delinquencies, which typically support ABS fundamentals. As of the end of the period, we remained focused on the traditional higher-quality ABS sectors, including auto, credit card, and equipment ABS deals.

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 July 1, 2021 through December 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, such as sales charges (loads) or fees which may be applied at the variable life insurance, variable annuity, or qualified retirement plan product level. 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' annualized expense ratio multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOOTNOTES |
(1) | Information presented relates to a share outstanding throughout the indicated period. Net investment income (loss) per share amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding unless otherwise noted. |
(2) | The figures do not include sales charges or other fees which may be applied at the variable contract level or by a qualified pension or retirement plan. Any such additional sales charges or other fees would lower the Fund’s performance. |
(3) | Adjustments include waivers and reimbursements, if applicable. Ratios do not include fees paid indirectly (see Expenses in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements). |
(4) | Portfolio turnover excludes TBA roll transactions. Had TBA roll transactions been included, the portfolio turnover rate would have been 49% and 48% for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. |
(5) | FASB issued ASU 2017-08 to amend the amortization period to the earliest call date for purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Effective January 1, 2019, the Fund amended its amortization policy and the effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2019 was an increase to net investment income per share for less than $0.005, decrease to net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments for less than $(0.005) and a decrease to ratio of net investment income to average net assets for less than 0.005% for each class of shares. Per share data and ratios for periods prior to December 31, 2019 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. |
(6) | Commenced operations on September 18, 2020. |
(7) | Not annualized. |
(8) | Annualized. |
(9) | Portfolio turnover excludes TBA roll transactions. Had TBA roll transactions been included, the portfolio turnover rate would have been 494% and 564% for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. |
(10) | FASB issued ASU 2017-08 to amend the amortization period to the earliest call date for purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Effective January 1, 2019, the Fund amended its amortization policy and the effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2019 was a decrease to net investment income per share for less than $(0.005), increase to net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments for less than $0.005 and a decrease to ratio of net investment income to average net assets of (0.01)% for each class of shares. Per share data and ratios for periods prior to December 31, 2019 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. |
(11) | Per share amount was not in accord with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) for the period because of the timing of transactions in shares of the Fund and the amount and timing of per-share net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on such shares. |

Owners of variable annuity contracts and policyholders of variable life insurance contracts may choose the Funds if permitted in the variable insurance contract prospectus. In addition, participants in certain qualified pension or retirement plans may choose the Funds if permitted by their plans.
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."
Each Fund has registered for sale Class IA and IB shares. Each of Capital Appreciation HLS Fund and Disciplined Equity HLS Fund also has registered for sale Class IC shares. Class IA and Class IB shares of each Fund are closed to certain investors. For more information, please see the Funds’ prospectus. Each class is offered at the per share net asset value (“NAV”) without a sales charge.

Class IC shares are subject to distribution fees charged pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and Class IC shares are also subject to an administrative services fee.
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. |
a) | Determination of Net Asset Value – The 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 the 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. |
b) | 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 the 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 respective 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. |
| Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) and non-exchange traded derivatives 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 which approximates fair value. |
| 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 investment companies that are not listed or traded on an exchange ("Non-Traded Funds"), if any, are valued at the respective NAV of each Non-Traded 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 Non-Traded 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. |
| 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 |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

| 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.
c) | 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. |
| The trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the primary loan market is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. The trade date for senior floating rate interests purchased in the secondary loan market is the date on which the transaction is entered into. |
| 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, inflation adjustments and additional principal received in-kind in lieu of cash, is accrued on a daily basis. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, as applicable. |
Please refer to Note 8 for Securities Lending information.
d) | 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 net investment income or net realized or unrealized gain (loss) on investments in these securities, if applicable. |
e) | 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. |

f) | Joint Trading Account – A Fund may invest cash balances into a joint trading account that may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements. |
g) | 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 contract holders and plan participants. 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 respective Company's Board of Directors. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of each 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 (see Federal Income Taxes: Distributions and Components of Distributable Earnings and Reclassification of Capital Accounts notes). |
3. | Securities and Other Investments: |
a) | 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. |
b) | Investments Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis – Delivery and payment for investments that have been purchased by a 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 a Fund identifies investments segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for when-issued or delayed-delivery investments as of December 31, 2021. |
| In connection with a 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 a 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, a Fund realizes a gain or loss. In a TBA roll transaction, a 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. These transactions are excluded from a Fund's portfolio turnover rate. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for TBA commitments as of December 31, 2021. |
c) | Senior Floating Rate Interests – Certain Funds may invest in senior floating rate interests. Senior floating rate interests generally hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity (the “Borrower”), are typically secured by specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the Borrower. Senior floating rate interests are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the senior floating rate interest. A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a senior floating rate interest, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. A Fund may also enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the Borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a senior floating rate interest. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive various fees upon the restructure of a senior floating rate interest by a borrower. Fees earned/paid may be recorded as a component of income or realized gain/loss in the Statements of Operations. |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
December 31, 2021
Senior floating rate interests are typically rated below-investment-grade, which suggests they are more likely to default and generally pay higher interest rates than investment-grade loans. A default could lead to non-payment of income, which would result in a reduction of income to a Fund, and there can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for outstanding senior floating rate interests as of December 31, 2021.
d) | Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities – A 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 prepayments 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. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities as of December 31, 2021. |
e) | Inflation-Indexed Bonds – A 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 Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive the principal amount until maturity. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for inflation-indexed bonds as of December 31, 2021. |
f) | Repurchase Agreements – A repurchase agreement is an agreement between two parties whereby one party sells the other a security at a specified price with a commitment to repurchase the security later at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment. Each Fund is permitted to enter into fully collateralized repurchase agreements. Each Company's Board of Directors has delegated to the sub-adviser the responsibility of evaluating the creditworthiness of the banks and securities dealers with which the Funds will engage in repurchase agreements. The sub-adviser will monitor such transactions to ensure that the value of underlying collateral will be at least equal to the total amount of the repurchase obligation as required by the valuation provision of the repurchase agreement, including the accrued interest. Repurchase agreements carry the risk that the market value of the securities declines below the repurchase price. A Fund could also lose money if it is unable to recover the securities and the value of any collateral held or assets segregated by the Fund to cover the transaction is less than the value of the securities. In the event the borrower commences bankruptcy proceedings, a court may characterize the transaction as a loan. If a Fund has not perfected a security interest in the underlying collateral, the Fund may be required to return the underlying collateral to the borrower’s estate and be treated as an unsecured creditor. As an unsecured creditor, the Fund could lose some or all of the principal and interest involved in the transaction. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments, if applicable, for repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2021. |
g) | Special Purpose Acquisition Companies - A Fund may invest in special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) or similar special purpose entities. SPACs are collective investment structures that pool funds in order to seek potential acquisition opportunities. SPACs and similar entities may be blank check companies with no operating history or ongoing business other than to seek a potential acquisition. Because SPACs and similar entities have no operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Some SPACs may pursue acquisitions only within certain industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their securities’ prices. In addition, these securities, which are typically traded in the OTC market, may be considered illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. A Fund may enter into a contingent commitment with a SPAC to purchase shares of private investments in public equity investments (“PIPE”) if and when the SPAC completes its merger or acquisition; however if the commitment expires, then no shares are purchased. Purchased PIPE shares will be restricted from trading until the registration statement for the shares is declared effective. Upon registration, the shares can be freely sold; however, in certain circumstances, the issuer may have the right to temporarily suspend trading of the shares in the first year after the merger. |

4. | Financial Derivative Instruments: |
| The following disclosures contain information on how and why a Fund may use derivative instruments, the credit-risk-related contingent features in certain derivative instruments, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statements 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 the Schedules of Investments, 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 Statements of Operations. |
a) | Futures Contracts – A 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. A Fund may use futures contracts to manage risk 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 a Fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Upon entering into a futures contract, a 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 and an appropriate amount equal to the change in value (“variation margin”) is paid or received by a 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
| During the year ended December 31, 2021, each of Balanced HLS Fund, Capital Appreciation HLS Fund and Total Return Bond HLS Fund had used Futures Contracts. |
b) | Foreign Currency Contracts – A Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts that obligate the Fund to purchase or sell currencies at specified future dates. Foreign currency contracts may be used in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a 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 a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. A 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 Statements 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. Upon entering into a foreign currency contract, a Fund may be required to post margin equal to its outstanding exposure thereunder. |
| During the year ended December 31, 2021, each of Capital Appreciation HLS Fund and Total Return Bond HLS Fund had used Foreign Currency Contracts. |
c) | Options Contracts – An option contract is a contract sold by one party to another party that offers the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an investment or other financial asset at an agreed-upon price during a specific period of time or on a specific date. Option contracts are either over-the-counter ("OTC") options or executed in a registered exchange (“exchange-traded options”). A Fund may write (sell) covered call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities, commodities or currencies. “Covered” means that so long as a Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the underlying investments or currency or an option to purchase the same underlying investments or currency having an expiration date of the covered option and an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the covered option, or will segregate or earmark cash or other liquid investments having, for written call options, a value equal to the greater of the exercise price or the market value of the underlying instrument and, for written put options, a value equal to the exercise price. Writing put options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options may decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset amounts paid on the underlying futures, swaps, investments or currency transactions to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. A Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options may increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options may decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium, which is included on the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is generally limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Entering into OTC options also exposes a Fund to counterparty risk. Counterparty risk is the possibility that the |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
December 31, 2021
| counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements. |
During the year ended December 31, 2021, Total Return Bond HLS Fund had used Options Contracts.
d) | Swap Contracts – A Fund may invest in swap contracts. Swap contracts are agreements to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified future intervals. Swap contracts are either privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or cleared through a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization (“centrally cleared swaps”). A Fund may enter into credit default, total return, cross-currency, interest rate, 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 or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap contracts and/or master netting arrangement to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. |
| Swaps are valued in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value (“variation margin”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses on centrally cleared swaps are recorded upon the termination of the swaps. OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid 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 premiums are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination or maturity of the swap is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. |
| Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of liquidation, counterparty, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements 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 market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant factors). |
| A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk for OTC swaps is the net value of the discounted cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, and current market value, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between a 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as applicable) as well as the posting of collateral to a Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. In a centrally cleared swap, while a Fund enters into an agreement with a clearing broker to execute contracts with a counterparty, the performance of the swap is guaranteed by the central clearinghouse, which reduces the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk. However, the Fund is still exposed to a certain amount of counterparty risk through the clearing broker and clearinghouse. The clearinghouse attempts to minimize this risk to its participants through the use of mandatory margin requirements, daily cash settlements and other procedures. Likewise, the clearing broker reduces its risk through margin requirements and required segregation of customer balances. |
| Credit Default Swap Contracts – The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on a specific issuer, asset or basket of assets. Certain credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying investment or index in the event of a credit event, such as payment default or bankruptcy. |
| Under a credit default swap contract, one party acts as guarantor by receiving the fixed periodic payment in exchange for the commitment to purchase the underlying investment at par if the defined credit event occurs. Upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the difference between the value of the reference obligation and the swap’s notional amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on swap transactions in the Statements of Operations. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of the protection receives periodic payments and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. A “seller’s” exposure is limited to the total notional amount of the credit default swap contract. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or upfront payments received upon entering into the contract. |
| Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on corporate issues, sovereign government issues or U.S. municipal issues as of year-end are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments, as applicable, and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
December 31, 2021
| for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and there may also be upfront payments required to be made to enter into the contract. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced equity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. |
| During the year ended December 31, 2021, Total Return Bond HLS Fund had used Credit Default Swap Contracts. |
| Interest Rate Swap Contracts – Certain Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A Fund may use interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate and duration risk across a portfolio at particular duration points to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. 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 benchmark, multiplied by a notional 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 Statements of Operations. When the interest rate swap contract is terminated early, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the current market value and the upfront premium or cost. |
| If an interest rate swap contract provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional amount as well. Interest rate swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an index. 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. A 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. |

f) | Balance Sheet Offsetting Information – Set forth below are tables which disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and instruments and transactions that are subject to a master netting arrangement, as well as amounts related to margin, reflected as financial collateral (including cash collateral), held at clearing brokers, counterparties and a Fund's custodian. The master netting arrangements allow the clearing brokers to net any collateral held in or on behalf of a Fund, or liabilities or payment obligations of the clearing brokers to a Fund, against any liabilities or payment obligations of a Fund to the clearing brokers. A Fund is required to deposit financial collateral (including cash collateral) at the Fund's custodian on behalf of clearing brokers and counterparties to continually meet the original and maintenance requirements established by the clearing brokers and counterparties. Such requirements are specific to the respective clearing broker or counterparty. Certain master netting arrangements may not be enforceable in a bankruptcy. |
| The following tables present a Fund's derivative assets and liabilities, presented on a gross basis as no amounts are netted within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement or similar agreement ("MNA") and net of the related collateral received/pledged by a Fund as of December 31, 2021: |

5. | 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 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. 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, created supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and impacted 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. |
| Certain investments held by a Fund expose the Fund to various risks which may include, but are not limited to, interest rate, prepayment, and extension 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 a 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. Senior floating rate interests and securities subject to prepayment and extension risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline. 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, senior floating rate interests 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. |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)
December 31, 2021
| 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. |
| 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. A Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which a Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. |
| The use of certain London Interbank Offered Rates (collectively, “LIBOR”) was generally phased out by the end of 2021, and some regulated entities (such as banks) will cease to enter into new LIBOR-based contracts beginning January 1, 2022. However, it is expected that the most widely used tenors of U.S. LIBOR may continue to be provided on a representative basis until mid-2023. There remains uncertainty regarding the future use of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or the LIBOR-based instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. The transition process away from LIBOR may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition process may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedges. Volatility, the potential reduction in value, and/or the hedge effectiveness of financial instruments may be heightened for financial instruments that do not include fallback provisions that address the cessation of LIBOR. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or on financial instruments in which a Fund invests, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to the Fund, and the use of an alternative reference rate may adversely affect a Fund's performance. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark or reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to and/or subsequent to mid-2023. |
a) | 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. |
b) | 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 Passive Foreign Investment Companies ("PFICs"), Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"), RICs, certain derivatives, losses deferred due to straddle adjustments 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 each Fund. |

d) | Reclassification of Capital Accounts – The Funds may record reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the total net assets of the Funds. The reclassifications are a result of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and tax accounting for such items as adjustments to prior year accumulated balances. Adjustments are made to reflect the impact these items have on current and future distributions to shareholders. Therefore, the source of the Funds’ distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets as from distributable earnings or from capital depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the following Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts listed below: |
| |
Fund | | Paid-in-Capital | | Distributable Earnings (Loss) |
Balanced HLS Fund | | $ (12,033) | | $ 12,033 |
Capital Appreciation HLS Fund | | (20,694) | | 20,694 |
Disciplined Equity HLS Fund | | (6,968) | | 6,968 |
Small Company HLS Fund | | 13,996 | | (13,996) |
e) | Capital Loss Carryforward – Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. |
Notes to Financial Statements – (continued)

f) | Tax Basis of Investments – The aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2021 is different from book purposes primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals, Passive Foreign Investment Companies ("PFICs") mark-to-market adjustments, partnership adjustments and non-taxable distributions from underlying investments. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments for tax purposes, which consists of gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation was also different from book purposes primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals and mark-to-market adjustments on swaps, forwards, futures, PFICs, partnership adjustments and nontaxable distributions from underlying investments. Both the cost and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes are disclosed below: |
| |

g) | Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – Pursuant to provisions set forth by U.S. GAAP, Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC ("HFMC") reviews each Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years. As of December 31, 2021, HFMC had reviewed the open tax years and concluded that there was no reason to record a liability for net unrecognized tax obligations relating to uncertain income tax positions. Each Fund files U.S. tax returns. Although the statute of limitations for examining a Fund’s U.S. tax returns remains open for 3 years, no examination is currently in progress. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. HFMC is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax obligations will significantly change in the next twelve months. |
a) | Investment Management Agreement – HFMC serves as each Fund’s investment manager. Each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with HFMC. HFMC is an indirect subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“The Hartford”). HFMC has overall investment supervisory responsibility for each Fund. In addition, HFMC provides administrative personnel, services, equipment, facilities and office space for proper operation of each Fund. HFMC has contracted with Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”) under a sub-advisory agreement and Wellington Management performs the daily investment of the assets of each Fund, in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. HFMC pays a sub-advisory fee to Wellington Management out of its management fee. |
| The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to HFMC for investment management services rendered as of December 31, 2021; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates: |

* HFMC voluntarily waived a portion of its contractual management fee equal to 0.03% as an annual percentage rate of the Balanced HLS Fund’s average daily net assets from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.
b) | Accounting Services Agreement – HFMC provides the Funds with accounting services pursuant to a fund accounting agreement by and between each Company, on behalf of its respective 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. Effective May 1, 2021, the fund accounting fee schedule as set forth in the fund accounting agreement by and between each Company, on behalf of its respective Funds, and HFMC, was revised. Effective May 1, 2021, the fund accounting fee for each Fund is equal to 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. For the period January 1, 2021 through April 30, 2021, HFMC received the following fee with respect to each Fund: any sub-accounting fee payable by HFMC plus the amount of expenses that HFMC allocates for providing the fund accounting services. |
c) | Operating Expenses – Allocable expenses incurred by each Company are allocated to each series within such 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. |
d) | Fees Paid Indirectly – Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc., on behalf of Hartford Small Cap Growth HLS Fund, and Hartford Series Fund, Inc., on behalf of its series except Total Return Bond HLS Fund and Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund, have entered into agreements with State Street Global Markets, LLC and Russell Implementation Services, Inc. to partially recapture non-discounted trade commissions. Such rebates are used to pay a portion of the Funds’ expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2021, these amounts, if any, are included in the Statements of Operations. |
| The ratio of expenses to average net assets in the accompanying financial highlights excludes the reduction in expenses related to fees paid indirectly. The annualized expense ratio after waivers reflecting the reduction for fees paid indirectly for the period is as follows: |

8. | Securities Lending: |
| Each 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. A Fund may lend portfolio securities, provided that the borrower provides collateral that is maintained in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral is invested for the benefit of a 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; (vi) the risk that any efforts to restrict or recall the securities for purposes of voting may not be effective; and (vii) operational risks (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process – especially so in certain international markets). These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund. |
| A Fund retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is 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 applicable Fund). Upon termination of a loan, a Fund is 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. A Fund also receives 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. |
| The following table presents for each Fund that lends its portfolio securities the market value of the securities on loan; the collateral posted by the borrower; and the net amount, if any, due from the borrower in the event of default as of December 31, 2021. |

(1) | It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract due to timing. Pursuant to the lending agreement, the borrower will provide collateral in an amount at least equal to the current market value of securities loaned. Collateral received in excess or in deficit of the market value of securities loaned is not presented in this table. |
(2) | Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the borrower in the event of default. |
(3) | Includes non-cash collateral of $5,184,405, $353,638 and $1,090,768 for Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Healthcare HLS Fund and MidCap HLS Fund, respectively. |

The ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022.

EY’s report on the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 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 periods ended on December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 and through February 26, 2020 (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. |

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).

| Management has evaluated all subsequent transactions and events through the date on which these financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require disclosure in these financial statements. |
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. and Shareholders of Hartford Balanced HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Healthcare HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund, and Hartford Small Cap Growth HLS Fund.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of Hartford Balanced HLS Fund, Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund, Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Hartford Healthcare HLS Fund, Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Hartford MidCap HLS Fund, Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Hartford Stock HLS Fund, Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund, Hartford Ultrashort Bond HLS Fund (constituting Hartford Series Fund, Inc.) and Hartford Small Cap Growth HLS Fund (constituting Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc.) (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein ended on or subsequent to December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein ended on or subsequent to December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 25, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from agent banks and brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each mutual fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually review and consider the continuation of the mutual fund’s investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At their meeting held on August 3-4, 2021, the Boards of Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of Hartford Series Fund, Inc. (“HLS”) and Hartford HLS Series Fund II, Inc. (“HLS II”), including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) by and between each of HLS and HLS II, on behalf of each of their respective series listed above (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”); and (ii) the continuation of investment sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between HFMC and each Fund’s sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (the “Sub-adviser,” and together with HFMC, the “Advisers”), with respect to each Fund.
In the months preceding the August 3-4, 2021 meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers on behalf of the Independent Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board considered such additional information as it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements, as applicable, with respect to each Fund, which included information furnished to the Board and its committees at their meetings throughout the year and in between regularly scheduled meetings on particular matters as the need arose, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meetings held on June 15-16, 2021 and August 3-4, 2021. Information provided to the Board and its committees at their meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal, compliance and risk management matters, sales and marketing activity, shareholder services, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The members of the Board also considered the materials and presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC received at the Board’s meetings on June 15-16, 2021 and August 3-4, 2021 concerning the Agreements and at the special meeting of the Board’s Investment Committee on May 18, 2021 concerning Fund performance and other investment-related matters.
The Independent Directors, advised by independent legal counsel throughout the evaluation process, engaged service providers to assist them with evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, as applicable. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, was retained to provide the Board with reports on how each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees, total expense ratios and investment performance compared to those of comparable mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Independent Directors also engaged an independent financial services consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees, total expense ratios and investment performance. In addition, the Consultant reviewed the profitability methodologies utilized by HFMC in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreement.
In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements for a Fund, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate through the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the continuation of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements. Throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds and the Independent Directors were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately with independent legal counsel and the Consultant on June 11, 2021 and in executive session on several occasions to consider their responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations and to discuss the materials presented and other matters deemed relevant to their consideration of the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the June 11, 2021 and June 15-16, 2021 meetings, the Independent Directors presented HFMC
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
with requests for additional information on certain topics. HFMC responded to these requests with additional information in connection with the August 3-4, 2021 meeting. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the continuation of the Agreements is provided below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisers
The Board requested and considered information concerning the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the Advisers. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreements and the range of services provided by the Advisers. The Board considered the Advisers’ professional personnel who provide services to the Funds, including each Adviser’s ability and experience in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to service the Funds. The Board considered each Adviser’s reputation and overall financial strength, as well as each Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to enhance services to the funds managed by HFMC and its affiliates (the “Hartford funds”). In addition, the Board considered the quality of each Adviser’s communications with the Board and responsiveness to Board inquiries and requests made from time to time with respect to the Funds and other Hartford funds. In this regard, the Board took into account the Advisers’ communications with the Board in light of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
The Board also requested and evaluated information concerning each Adviser’s regulatory and compliance environment. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information about each Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures and compliance history, and a report from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer about each Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including responses to regulatory developments and any compliance or other issues raised by regulators. The Board also noted the Advisers’ support of the Funds’ compliance control structure, as applicable, including the resources devoted by the Advisers in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and the Funds’ liquidity risk management program, as well as the efforts of the Advisers to combat cybersecurity risks. The Board also considered HFMC’s investments in business continuity planning designed to benefit the Funds, and the implementation of HFMC’s business continuity plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board also noted HFMC’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to prepare for and respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environments in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
With respect to HFMC, the Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, HFMC is responsible for the management of the Funds, including oversight of fund operations and service providers, and the provision of administrative and investment advisory services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Sub-adviser. In this regard, the Board evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by HFMC that were not delegated to, or assumed by, the Sub-adviser. The Board considered HFMC’s ongoing monitoring of people, process and performance, including its quarterly reviews of each of the Hartford funds, semi-annual meetings with the leaders of each Fund’s portfolio management team, and oversight of the Hartford funds’ portfolio managers. The Board noted that HFMC has demonstrated a record of initiating changes to the portfolio management and/or investment strategies of the Hartford funds when warranted. The Board considered HFMC’s periodic due diligence reviews of the Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of the Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations by the Sub-adviser, and approach to risk management with respect to the Funds and the service providers to the Funds. The Board considered HFMC’s oversight of the securities lending program for the Funds that engage in securities lending and noted the income earned by the Funds that participate in such program. The Board also considered HFMC’s day-to-day oversight of each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations, noting that regulatory and other developments had over time led to an increase in the scope of HFMC’s oversight in this regard. Moreover, the Board considered HFMC’s oversight of potential conflicts of interest between the Funds’ investments and those of other funds or accounts managed by the Funds’ portfolio management personnel.
In addition, the Board considered HFMC’s ongoing commitment to review and rationalize the Hartford funds product line-up. In this regard, the Board considered the reorganizations of certain Hartford funds that are series of HLS or HLS II into several Funds in 2020 (the “HLS Fund Reorganizations”). The Board considered that HFMC is responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.
With respect to the Sub-adviser, which provides certain day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, the Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, investment philosophy and process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience, including with respect to sustainable investing and environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) criteria. The Board considered the experience of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the number of accounts managed by the portfolio manager(s), and the Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio manager(s). The Board also considered the Sub-adviser’s succession planning practices to ensure continuity of portfolio management services provided to the Funds.
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the family of Hartford funds. The Board considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the Hartford funds with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by HFMC and the Sub-adviser.
Performance of each Fund and the Advisers
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In this regard, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund over different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated HFMC’s analysis of the Fund’s performance for these time periods. The Board considered information and materials provided to the Board by the Advisers concerning Fund performance, as well as information from Broadridge comparing the investment performance of each Fund to an appropriate universe of peer funds. The Board noted that while it found the comparative data provided by Broadridge generally useful in evaluating a Hartford fund’s investment performance, the Board recognized the limitations of such data, including that notable differences may exist between a Hartford fund and its peers. For details regarding each Fund’s performance, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.
The Board considered the detailed investment analytics reports provided by HFMC’s Investment Advisory Group throughout the year, including in connection with the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. These reports included, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance compared to one or more appropriate benchmarks and relevant groups or categories of peer funds, various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance, and commentary on the effect of market conditions. The Board also noted that the Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund utilizes a multiple sleeve structure whereby each sleeve uses a different investment style and considered the performance attributions of the underlying managers. The Board considered the Advisers’ work with the Investment Committee, which assists the Board in evaluating the performance of each Fund at periodic meetings throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the continuation of the Agreements. The Board considered that the Investment Committee, in its evaluation of investment performance at meetings throughout the year, focused particular attention on information indicating less favorable performance of certain Hartford funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Advisers the reasons for such performance as well as any specific actions that the Advisers had taken, or had agreed to take, to seek to enhance Fund investment performance and the results of those actions. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it had continued confidence in HFMC’s and the Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Funds.
Costs of the Services and Profitability of the Advisers
The Board reviewed information regarding HFMC’s cost to provide investment management and related services to each Fund and HFMC’s profitability, both overall and for each Fund, on a pre-tax basis without regard to distribution expenses. The Board also requested and reviewed information about the profitability to HFMC and its affiliates from all services provided to each Fund and all aspects of their relationship with the Fund, including information regarding profitability trends over time and information provided by Broadridge analyzing the profitability of managers to other fund complexes. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-adviser. The Board considered representations from HFMC and the Sub-adviser that the Sub-adviser’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length on a Fund-by-Fund basis and that the sub-advisory fees are paid by HFMC and not the Funds. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of the Sub-adviser is a less relevant factor with respect to the Board’s consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
The Board considered the Consultant’s review of the methodologies and estimates used by HFMC in calculating profitability in connection with the continuation of the Management Agreement, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. The Board noted the Consultant’s view that HFMC’s process for calculating and reporting Fund profitability is reasonable and consistent with the process previously reviewed by the Consultant. The Board noted that the Consultant had previously performed a full review of this process and reported that such process is reasonable, sound and consistent with common industry practice.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with each Fund were not excessive.
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
Comparison of Fees and Services Provided by the Advisers
The Board considered comparative information with respect to the services rendered to and the management fees to be paid by each Fund to HFMC and the total expense ratios of the Fund. The Board also considered comparative information with respect to the sub-advisory fees to be paid by HFMC to the Sub-adviser with respect to each Fund. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HFMC and the Sub-adviser relating to the management and sub-advisory fees, including the sub-advisory fee schedule for each Fund and the amount of the management fee retained by HFMC, and total operating expenses for each Fund. The Board also reviewed information from Broadridge comparing each Fund’s contractual management fees, actual management fees and total expense ratios relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by Broadridge. The Board considered such information from Broadridge in consultation with the Consultant. For details regarding each Fund’s expenses, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.
The Board considered the methodology used by Broadridge to select the funds included in the expense groups. While the Board recognized that comparisons between a Fund and its peer funds may be imprecise given, among other differences, the different service levels and characteristics of mutual funds and the different business models and cost structures of the Advisers, the comparative information provided by Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses. In addition, the Board considered the analysis and views of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses and expense groups.
The Board also received information regarding fees charged by the Sub-adviser to any other clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds, including institutional separate account clients and registered fund clients for which a Sub-adviser serves as either primary investment adviser or sub-adviser. The Board considered the explanations provided by the Sub-adviser about any differences between the Sub-adviser’s services to the Funds and the services the Sub-adviser provides to other types of clients. In this regard, the Board reviewed information about the generally broader scope of services and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing registered funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-registered fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses, in conjunction with the information about quality of services, profitability, economies of scale, and other matters considered, were reasonable in light of the services provided.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered information regarding economies of scale, including the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. The Board reviewed the breakpoints in the management fee schedule for each Fund, if any, which reduce fee rates as the Fund’s assets grow over time. The Board recognized that a Fund with assets beyond the highest breakpoint level will continue to benefit from economies of scale because additional assets are charged the lowest breakpoint fee resulting in lower effective management fee rates. The Board also recognized that a fee schedule that reaches a breakpoint at a lower asset level provides shareholders with the benefit of anticipated or potential economies of scale. The Board considered that fee waivers that reduce a Fund’s expenses at all asset levels can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing economies of scale with shareholders and provide protection from an increase in expenses if the Fund’s assets decline. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates, pricing a Fund to scale at inception and making additional investments intended to enhance services available to shareholders are other means of sharing anticipated or potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses. The Board also noted that the assets under management had declined for certain Funds over time, and the Board considered the impact of such declines on the expense ratios for such Funds. The Board considered HFMC’s explanations for the net outflows of assets for certain Funds. The Board also considered information about the impact of the HLS Fund Reorganizations on the acquiring Funds’ assets and the cost savings to shareholders resulting from the HLS Fund Reorganizations.
The Board reviewed and evaluated materials from Broadridge and the Consultant showing how management fee schedules of peer funds reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders as a peer fund’s assets hypothetically increase over time. Based on information provided by HFMC, Broadridge, and the Consultant, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints or uniform pattern in asset levels that trigger breakpoints or the amounts of breakpoints triggered.
After considering all of the information available to it, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the extent to which economies of scale would be shared for the benefit of each Fund’s shareholders based on currently available information and the effective management fees and total expense ratios for the Fund at its current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor any future growth in each Fund’s assets and the appropriateness of additional management fee breakpoints or other methods to share benefits from economies of scale as part of its future review of the Agreements.
Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)
Other Benefits
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds.
The Board noted that HFMC receives fees for fund accounting and related services from the Funds, and the Board considered information on the profitability to HFMC from providing such services to the Funds. The Board also considered that Hartford Administrative Services Company (“HASCO”), the Funds’ transfer agent and an affiliate of HFMC, receives transfer agency compensation from the Funds, and the Board reviewed information about the profitability to HASCO of the Funds’ transfer agency function. The Board considered information provided by HFMC indicating that the transfer agency fees charged by HASCO to the Funds were fair and reasonable based on industry data about fees charged by transfer agents to other mutual funds. The Board also noted that HFMC and HASCO had delegated certain fund accounting services and transfer agency services, respectively, to external service providers.
The Board also considered that Hartford Funds Distributors, LLC (“HFD”), an affiliate of HFMC, serves as principal underwriter of the Funds. The Board noted that, as principal underwriter, HFD receives distribution and service fees from the Funds.
The Board considered the benefits, if any, to the Sub-adviser from any use of a Fund’s brokerage commissions to obtain soft dollar research.
