Q.
How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
The Hartford Small Company Fund (Class A)
outperformed its Lipper peer group for the year
ending December 31, 1998. The Fund provided a
total return of 10.5% versus -0.3% for the
MARK S. WATERHOUSE Lipper Small Com-pany Mutual Fund Average,
Vice President placing the Fund in the first quartile of
Wellington Management performance for funds in the group.
Company, LLP
Q.
Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
The greatest single contributor to the great
performance in 1998 was maintaining our
conviction on our holdings during periods of
market volatility, while adhering to our
discipline and taking advantage of market
gyrations to acquire attractively valued
smaller companies.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
We are very optimistic about small cap stocks
in 1999. In light of larger cap companies',
greater reliance on markets outside of the U.S.
for profit growth, aggregate earnings estimates
for small caps exceeds the expected growth for
major companies. In addition, due to their
recent relative under-performance, small caps
are attractively valued with multiples, in some
instances, at 15-20 year lows. Going forward,
we will continue to focus on identifying the
most attractive opportunities in the small cap
universe. As a guide, we will concentrate on
Performance Overview those economic sectors where we see the
7/22/96 - 12/31/98 greatest potential and on those small companies
Growth of a $10,000 with strong, healthy balance sheets and 15-20%
investment in Class A earnings growth.

CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

Portfolio Manager
Q.
How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund (Class A)
underperformed its Lipper peer group for the
year ending December 31, 1998. The Fund
provided a total return of 3.3% versus 20% for
SAUL J. PANNELL, CFA the Lipper Capital Appreciation Average. Since
Senior Vice President inception, the mutual fund still ranks near the
and Partner top of the Lipper universe.
Wellington Management
Company, LLP Q.
Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
Due to their perceived safe haven
characteristics, large cap, blue chip stocks
dominated the market in 1998. There was a wide
disparity between the performance of
"mega-caps" and everything else in the market.
The Capital Appreciation Fund is heavily
invested in mid and small cap companies that we
believe have great capital appreciation
potential. The significant exposure to smaller
companies, which has been greater than many
funds with a similar mandate, pressured the
Fund's returns this year.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
During 1999, we may well see a reversal of the
large cap dominance of the equity market.
Therefore, we are confident that our approach
of focusing on opportunities for capital
appreciation regardless of market
capitalization, will provide satisfactory
returns. The overall strategy for the Fund is
dual faceted: we will emphasize smaller
companies with dynamic earnings growth
prospects, and use larger stocks as
opportunistic trades where we see a catalyst
for out-performance. We have tended to roam
off the beaten path, historically where the
most upside potential has been. This approach
should provide positive absolute and relative
Performance Overview results over the longer term. While the
7/22/96 - 12/31/98 overall market outlook remains controversial,
Growth of a $10,000 macroeconomic and valuation factors endorse our
investment in Class A positioning.

MIDCAP FUND

Portfolio Manager
Q.
How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
The Hartford MidCap Fund (Class A) outperformed
its Lipper peer group for the year ending
December 31, 1998. The Fund provided a total
return of 23.1% versus 12.2% for the Lipper
MidCap Average, placing the Fund in the first
quartile of performance for funds in the group.
PHILLIP H. PERELMUTER
Vice President Q.
Wellington Management Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
Company, LLP
Although the market's performance in 1998 was
driven by large cap stocks, mid caps fared
relatively well. A strong rebound in the 4th
quarter was especially helpful. Midcaps, as
measures by the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index, returned
28.2% in the 4th quarter alone. This
performance was better than that of both large
cap and small cap stocks in the same period. In
addition, our steadfast focus on high-quality
mid-cap companies operating in the highest
growth areas of the economy provided a
performance advantage versus the competition.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
Although large cap stocks outperformed mid caps
in 1998, we may be near an inflection point in
relative performance. Mid cap stocks generally
perform well relative to large caps after
Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, of which we
have recently had three. Also supportive of
the asset class, the current gap in valuations
between mid and large caps is very wide. We
will continue to focus on companies on the
verge of greatness within our five sectors of
opportunity: consumer products, finance,
healthcare, services, and technology. These are
the sectors we believe will show faster
earnings growth than the overall market over
the next 12-18 months. High-quality,
market-leading, mid-cap growth companies, which
Performance Overview have minimal overseas exposure, should fare
12/31/97 - 12/31/98 relatively well during a period of modest
Growth of a $10,000 growth in the U.S. and continued turbulence

The Hartford International Opportunities Fund
(Class A) slightly underperformed its Lipper
peer group for the year ending Decem-ber 31,
1998. The Fund provided a total return of 12.5%
versus 13.1% for the Lipper International
Average.
TROND SKRAMSTAD Q.
Senior Vice President Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
and Partner
Wellington Management Despite a volatile year for international
Company, LLP equity markets, The Hartford International
Opportunities Fund fared well as a result of
its strategic country allocation decisions.
The Fund was well positioned to benefit from
strong performing markets in Europe and limited
losses in crisis areas such as Japan and the
Emerging Markets. The Fund was also
repositioned to have greater exposure to large
cap stocks capable of withstanding the
challenges of less dynamic global economic
growth.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
We expect lackluster corporate profits growth
globally in 1999. Although profit growth will
slow, equities should post good performance due
to lower global interest rates. We believe
owning stable growth companies during such a
period of decelerating corporate profits and
global economic weakness is the prudent
investment strategy. We are bullish on Europe,
where the corporate restructuring and
increased focus on shareholder returns will be
accelerated by the Euro. We are concerned by
the slow pace of change in Japan and will limit
exposure to this market until we see
substantial progress on structural reforms.
Despite Japan's problems, there are select
investment opportunities, such as in the
attractively valued technology sector. The
investment risks in the Emerging Markets
Performance Overview currently outweigh the prospective rewards, but
7/22/96 - 12/31/98 we will continue to monitor developments in
Growth of a $10,000 these regions to identify attractive
investment in Class A opportunities.

deflation, industrial capacity
oversupply, and intense competition

RAND L. ALEXANDER, CFA
Senior Vice President Q.
and Partner Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
Wellington Management
Company, LLP In spite of the market turmoil in 1998,
investors who focused on large-cap,
high-quality companies with consistent or
accelerating earnings growth were well
rewarded. The market's performance was
dominated by a small number of very large
companies who were able to deliver in a
difficult environment. These are exactly the
type of companies in which the Stock Fund
invests. The Fund also benefited from our
overweight positions in technology, healthcare,
retail and media -- sectors which performed well
in 1998.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
With low inflation, less dynamic economic
growth, and the potential for lower interest
rates, we expect the market to continue to
focus on companies with consistent and
predictable earnings growth. The Federal
Reserve's interest rate cuts have been welcomed
by Wall Street but have not had much impact on
global economic growth, therefore, we expect
further efforts on the part of the world's
central bankers to stimulate the worldwide
economy. These efforts could lead to a period
of rapid growth which would focus investors'
Performance Overview attention on more cyclical sectors of the
7/22/96 - 12/31/98 market. At such time, we would increase our

Company, LLP Large-cap stocks were the key beneficiaries of

What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
We anticipate slower U.S. economic activity and
corporate earnings growth in 1999. However,
the interest rate environment is very positive
for equities, particularly for those stocks
which produce stable earnings growth. We
expect additional interest rate cuts by the
Federal Reserve, which will also be supportive

Senior Vice President
and Partner Q.
Wellington Management Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
Company, LLP
During 1998, growth-oriented stocks generally
outpaced value stocks. In light of our
dividend-oriented value bias, some of the
Fund's holdings were under pressure. However,
our substantial holdings in the industrial/
commercial and information/entertainment
sectors proved beneficial to the Fund.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
We will continue to look for value plays across
all industries. This is a key feature of the
Fund's investment strategy. Since the focus of
our investment approach is stock selection, the
sector representation will be fairly stable
over time. In light of slower global growth
and benign inflation trends, we are well
positioned going into 1999 as we have limited
our exposure to cyclical companies
(commodities, manufacturing) while maximizing
holdings in more promising areas such as
Performance Overview healthcare and consumer products. In our stock
7/22/96 - 12/31/98 selection, we will continue identifying stocks

Wellington Management The Hartford Advisers Fund (Class A)
Company, LLP outperformed its Lipper peer group
for the year ending December 31,
1998. The Fund had a total return of
21.1% versus 14.3% for the Lipper
Flexible Average, placing the fund in
the first quartile of performance for
funds in the group.

Senior Vice President Q.
and Partner Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
Wellington Management
Company, LLP During volatile times, allocating
assets between stocks and bonds
within a portfolio is an enormous
advantage. Merely having that
flexibility, however, is not enough.
The asset allocation we used within
the portfolio allowed us to capture
strong stock market performance and
utilize fixed income to protect the
Fund during difficult times, such as
in the third quarter '98. By
gradually adjusting the weighting
between stocks, bonds, and cash we
were able to use our expectations of
market developments to produce
attractive fund returns.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
Short- and intermediate-term yields
are likely to fall as the eventual
weakening of the economy will permit
the Federal Reserve to lower
short-term interest rates. The
current backdrop of slower economic
growth and historically low inflation
bodes well for the U.S. fixed income
market.
While we are optimistic about U.S.
equities, we are also wary about
market valuation levels. Therefore,
we will maintain our exposure to
equities around 55%, this is a
neutral stance versus our benchmark
index. In addition, we will continue
to focus on well-established, larger

THE HARTFORD
HIGH YIELD FUND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portfolio Manager
Q.
How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
The Hartford High Yield Fund commenced
operations on October 1, 1998. The Fund's
Class A shares placed in the 2nd quartile of
its Lipper peer group for the three-months
ending December 31, 1998, producing a total
return of 3.33% versus the 2.75% return of the
ALISON D. GRANGER, CFA Lipper High Yield Fixed Income Fund average.
Senior Vice President The Fund's return also outpaced that of its
The Hartford Investment benchmark index, the Lehman Corporate High
Management Company (HIMCO) Yield Index, which returned 2.13% for the
quarter.
Q.
Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
The decline in the high yield fixed income
market during early October provided the Fund
with the opportunity to purchase many of its
initial investments at levels which contributed
to the Fund's overall outperformance. The
Fund's allocation to issues which possess a
relatively high degree of market liquidity
aided the portfolio's performance, as these
securities were in demand during the fourth
quarter. An underweighting of the steel,
finance, and energy industries during the
quarter also provided additional performance at
the margin.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
As we enter 1999, we are emphasizing three
themes in the high yield fund. The first theme
reflects our belief that there are
opportunities in selected
economically-sensitive issues which, in the
opinion of our analysts, have the wherewithal
to survive the current downturn. While the
outlook for a number of the cyclical industries
remains challenging, the pricing of these
securities reflects a high level of perceived
risk. We therefore feel that the risk/reward
characteristics of these issues are very
attractive.
The second portfolio theme we are emphasizing
focuses on the process of deregulation,
convergence and consolidation that can be
witnessed in a variety of industries, including
the telecommunications and independent power
producing industries. When these conditions
are present, we seek to purchase companies
whose assets are attractive on their own or to
a higher-rated potential acquirer in the
changing competitive environment.
Our final theme aims to invest in relatively
liquid issues of large com-panies who are
leaders in their industries. We seek out
investments in these companies in part because
of their expected continued ability to access
capital in these times of declining
availability of credit. These companies are
Performance Overview also likely to have the staying power to

Portfolio Manager
Q.
How Did The Fund Perform?
[PHOTOGRAPH]
The Hartford Bond Income Strategy Fund Class A
shares placed in the 2nd quartile of its Lipper
peer group for the year ending December 31,
1998, producing a total return of 7.50% versus
the 6.25% return of the Lipper Corporate Debt
"BBB" rated Mutual Fund Universe.
ALISON D. GRANGER, CFA
Senior Vice President Q.
The Hartford Investment Why Did The Fund Perform This Way?
Management Company (HIMCO)
The average maturity and interest rate duration
of the Fund remained longer than its benchmark
index for 1998, resulting in price gains as
Treasury yields declined by roughly a full
percent during the year. We began 1998 with a
higher than average portfolio credit quality,
and continued to increase Treasury holdings
through September. This contributed to the
Fund's out-performance relative to its peer
average during the credit market declines of
the summer and early fall. Although they were
relatively minimal, the fund's holdings in
non-investment grade debt offset some of the
outperformance produced by its longer duration
and high average credit quality. A
concentration in U.S. Treasury Inflation
Protected Securities failed to produce the
expected returns we anticipated, as their
historically attractive real yields did not
decline to the extent expected given 1998's
significant decline in nominal Treasury yields.
Q.
What Is Your Outlook For 1999?
The domestic economy appears indecisive.
Consumer-related indicators, such as retail
sales and housing markets are booming, but
inflation remains in check for now. We believe
any Fed-easing bias will be delayed, and could
be tempered by foreign influences, with the
advent of the Euro and potential repatriation
of assets to Japan. Corporate, asset-backed
and mortgage-related fixed income securities
are still at historically attractive levels,
but pitfalls abound for the unwary. For that
reason, we expect to continue our high-average-
credit-quality approach to management of the
Performance Overview Fund. Select opportunities can be found in the
7/22/96 - 12/31/98 commodity sectors, which underperformed during
Growth of a $10,000 1998, and now display an attractive risk/reward
investment in Class A profile.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds,
which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the investment company industry:
a) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on the trade
date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Security gains and losses are
determined on the basis of identified cost.
b) SECURITY VALUATION--Debt securities (other than short-term securities)
are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an unaffiliated pricing
service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading
units of debt securities. Mortgage securities are valued at the bid
price. Short-term securities held in the Money Market Fund, are valued at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest receivable, both of
which approximate market value. For The Hartford Bond Income Strategy
Fund, The Hartford High Yield Bond Fund, The Hartford Advisers Fund, The
Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, The Hartford Growth and Income Fund,
The Hartford Stock Fund, The Hartford MidCap Fund,The Hartford Small
Company Fund, The Hartford Capital Appreciation Fund, The Hartford
International Opportunities Fund and The Hartford Global Leaders Fund,
short-term investments with a maturity of 60 days or less when purchased
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term
investments purchased with a maturity of more than 60 days when purchased
are valued based on market quotations until the remaining days to
maturity become less than 61 days. From such time until maturity, the
investments are valued at amortized cost.
Equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on the
principal securities exchange on which such securities are traded
(domestic or foreign) or on the principal over-the-counter market on
which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day
the securities are being valued. If no sale took place on a particular
day then such securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked
prices. The difference between amortized cost and market value for debt
and equity securities is recorded in the statement of operations and
accumulated in shareholders' equity.
Securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
at the exchange rates at the end of each business day. Options are valued
at the last sales price; if no sale took place on such day, then options
are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities for
which market quotations are not readily available and all other assets
are valued in good faith at fair value by, or under the direction of, the
Funds' Board of Directors. (See Note 2 f))
c) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS--The accounting records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing
exchange rates on the date translated. Purchases and sales of investment
securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of
such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of portfolio security valuation
resulting from fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates on
portfolio securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the
market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the
net realized and change in unrealized gains or losses on investments in
the accompanying financial statements.
Net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arising 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 are reported as net
realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on translation of other assets and
liabilities in foreign currencies, respectively.
d) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which
the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually
agreed upon time and price. At the time the Funds enter into a repurchase
agreement, the value of the underlying collateral security(ies),
including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the
repurchase agreement and, in the case of repurchase agreements exceeding
one day, the value of the underlying security(ies), including accrued
interest, is required, during the term of the agreement, to be equal to
or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities which serve
to collateralize the repurchase agreement are held by each Fund's
custodian in book entry or physical form in the custodial account of the
Fund. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest
receivable.
e) JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT--Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may transfer uninvested cash
balances into a joint trading account managed by The Hartford Investment
Management

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1998
Company (HIMCO) or Wellington Management Company LLP (Wellington). These
balances may be invested in one or more repurchase agreements and/or
short-term money market instruments.
f) FUTURES, OPTIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS--The Funds enter
into futures contracts to retain their cash balance and yet be exposed to the
market, thereby providing the liquidity necessary to accommodate
redemptions while at the same time providing shareholders with the
investment return of a fully invested portfolio. A futures contract is an
agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security at a set price
on a future date. When the Funds enter into such contracts, they are
required to deposit with their custodian an amount of "initial margin" of
cash or U.S. Treasury Bills. Subsequent payments, called maintenance
margin, to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of
the underlying debt security fluctuates, making the long and short
positions in the futures contract more or less valuable (i.e.,
mark-to-market), which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the
Funds. The market value of a traded futures contract is the last sale
price. In the absence of a last sale price, the last offering price is
used. In the absence of either of these prices, fair value is determined
according to procedures established by the Funds' Board of Directors.
At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, the Funds may
close the position by taking an opposite position which would operate to
terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of
maintenance margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid
by or released to the Funds and the Funds realize a gain or loss.
The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is
included in the Fund's Statement of Net Assets as an investment and is
subsequently "marked-to-market" through net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of options to reflect the current market value of the
option purchased as of the end of the reporting period. If an option
which the Fund has purchased expires on its stipulated expiration date,
the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the
Fund enters into a closing transaction, it realizes a gain or loss,
depending on whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than
the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a
gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds
from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the
Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund
purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid
to buy the call.
The Funds may write covered options. "Covered" means that so long as the
Fund is obligated as the writer of an option, it will own either the
underlying securities or currency or an option to purchase or sell the
same underlying securities or currency having an expiration date of the
covered option and an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise
price of the covered option, or will establish or maintain with its
custodian for the term of the option a "segregated account" consisting of
cash or other liquid securities having a value equal to the fluctuating
market value of the option securities or currencies. The Fund receives a
premium from writing a call or put option, recorded as a component of
other liabilities on the Statement of Net Assets, which increases the
Fund's return, recorded as a realized gain, if the option expires
unexercised or is closed out at a net profit. Any loss realized from the
covered option is offset by the gain realized on the sale of the
underlying. Covered options, at times before exercise or close
______________________________________ 52 ______________________________________
out, are marked-to-market through net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of options. The Fund's option activity was as follows

g) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--As of December 31, 1998, the
International Opportunities Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts that obligate the Fund to repurchase/replace or sell currencies
at specified future dates. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency
contracts to hedge against adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between
currencies.
Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount
reflected in the Statement of Net Assets. In addition, risks may arise
upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated
movement in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U. S. dollar.
h) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--For federal income tax purposes, the Funds intend
to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of their
taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their
shareholders or otherwise complying with the requirements of regulated
investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes
has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
i) FUND SHARE VALUATION AND DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Orders
for the Fund's shares are executed in accordance with the investment
instructions of the shareholders. Dividend income is accrued as of the
ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends for foreign securities
where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the
Fund is informed of the ex-dividend data in the exercise of reasonable
diligence. Interest income and expenses are accrued on a daily basis. The
net asset value of each Fund's shares is determined as of the close of
each business day of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange). The net
asset value per share is determined separately for each class of each
fund by dividing the Fund's net assets attributable to that class by the
number of shares of the class outstanding. Orders for the purchase of a
Fund's shares received prior to the close of the Exchange on any day on
which the fund is open for business are priced at the per-share net asset
value determined as of the close of the Exchange. Orders received after
the close of the Exchange, or on a day on which the Exchange and/or the
Fund is not open for business, are priced at the per-share net asset
value next determined.
Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains to shareholders no less frequently
than once a year. Normally, dividends from net investment income of the
Small Company Fund, the Stock Fund, the MidCap Fund, the Capital
Appreciation Fund, the International Opportunities Fund, and the Global
Leaders Fund will be declared and paid annually; dividends from net
investment income of the Dividend and Growth Fund, the Advisers Fund, and
the Growth and Income Fund will be declared and paid quarterly; dividends
from the net investment income of the Bond Income Strategy Fund, and the
High Yield Bond Fund will be declared and paid monthly and dividends from
net investment income of the Money Market Fund will be declared daily and
paid monthly. Dividends from the Money Market Fund are not paid on shares
until the day following the
______________________________________ 53 ______________________________________

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1998
date on which the shares are issued. Unless shareholders specify
otherwise, all dividends and distributions will be automatically
reinvested in additional full or fractional shares of each Fund.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains
are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which
may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, expiring
capital loss carryforwards, foreign currency gains and losses, losses
deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and
federal income tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to certain of the Funds'
capital accounts (see Note 8).
j) ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS--As of June 30, 1998, costs incurred by new funds
in connection with their organization, are expensed as incurred in accordance
with Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities." Costs incurred by the Funds, prior to June 30, 1998, in
connection with their organization have been deferred and are being
amortized on a straight line basis over five years. The unamortized
deferred organizational costs of each Fund as of December 31, 1998 are
included in the excess of cash, receivables and other assets over
liabilities or the excess of liabilities over cash, receivables and other
assets, as applicable, in each Fund's Statement of Net Assets.
k) USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Operating
results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from
management's estimates.
l) RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Each Fund is permitted to invest up to 15% of its
net assets in illiquid securities, except for the Money Market Fund, which may
invest up to 10% in such securities. "Illiquid Securities" are those that
may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business, at
approximately the price used to determine a Fund's net asset value per
share. Each Fund may also purchase certain restricted securities,
commonly known as Rule 144A securities, that can be resold to
institutions and which may be determined to be liquid pursuant to
policies and guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Directors.
At December 31, 1998 the Funds held the following restricted securities
(excluding 144A issues):

majority-owned subsidiary of The Hartford, was the principal underwriter
and distributor of the Funds. Effective November 1, 1998, HIFSCO became
the principal underwriter and distributor of the Funds. HIFSCO is solely
engaged in distribution activities which include marketing, distribution
and clearing of shares through broker-dealers, financing distribution
costs, supervising the activities of the transfer agent and maintaining
financial books and records. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the
following revenues were received by HSD and HIFSCO:

--------------- --------------------
TOTAL $29,829,370 $ 1,832,564
--------------- --------------------
--------------- --------------------
The Funds have adopted Distribution and Service Plans in accordance with
Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to
compensate the Distributor (HIFSCO) for the distribution of Class A,
Class B and Class C shares and servicing the accounts of Class A, Class B
and Class C shareholders. The Class A plan provides for periodic payments
to brokers who provide services to accounts that hold Class A shares and
for promotional and other sales related costs. The Distributor is
compensated at an annual rate that may not exceed 0.35% of the average
daily net asset value of Class A shares of the Fund, some or all of which
may be remitted to brokers. Up to 0.25% of the fee may be used for
shareholder servicing expenses with the remainder used for distribution
expenses. The Class A Rule 12b-1 fee for each Fund has been voluntarily
capped at 0.30% through April 30, 1999. The cap may be removed at any
time after such date. Some or all of the 12b-1 fee for Class B shares may
be paid to broker-dealers for distribution and/or shareholder account
services. Under the Class B plan, the Fund pays the Distributor 1.00% of
the average daily net assets of Class B shares that are outstanding for 8
years or less, 0.25% of which is intended as a fee for service provided
to existing shareholders with the remainder used for distribution
expenses. After eight years, Class B shares convert to Class A shares.
Upon conversion to Class A shares the Class A plan described above will
apply to those shares. For Class C shares, some or all of the fee may be
re-allocated to broker-dealers for distribution

shares outstanding, 0.25% of which is intended as a fee for services
provided to existing shareholders with the remainder used for
distribution expenses.
c) OPERATING EXPENSES--Allocable expenses incurred by the Funds are
allocated to each Fund in proportion to the average daily net assets of each
Fund, except where allocation of certain expenses is more fairly made
directly to the Fund. The Hartford has voluntarily agreed to limit the
total operating expenses of the Class A, B, C and Y shares of all the
Funds, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, certain
distribution expenses and extraordinary expenses, until at least April
30, 1999 as follows:

Statement of Position 93-2, DETERMINATION, DISCLOSURE, AND FINANCIAL
STATEMENT PRESENTATION OF INCOME, CAPITAL GAIN, AND RETURN OF CAPITAL
DISTRIBUTIONS BY INVESTMENT COMPANIES, the Funds have recorded several
reclassifications in their capital accounts. These reclassifications had no
impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are designed generally to
present accumulated undistributed (distribution in excess of) net
investment income and realized gain on investments on a tax basis which is
considered to be more informative to the shareholder. The reclassifications
are a result of temporary and permanent differences between GAAP and tax
accounting as a result of losses on wash sale transactions, paydown gains
and losses on mortgage-backed securities, foreign currency gains and
losses, post October loss deferrals and realized and unrealized gains and
losses on passive foreign investment companies. Therefore the source of the
Funds' distributions may be shown in the accompanying Statement of Changes
in Net Assets as from investment income, from net realized gains on
investments or from capital
______________________________________ 62 ______________________________________
depending on the type of book and tax differences that exist. As of
December 31, 1998, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to
increase (decrease) the accounts listed below.

Small Company Fund................................ 121,564
11. EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION:
On January 1, 1999, the European Monetary Union "EMU" introduced a new
single currency, the euro, which will replace the national currencies of
the participating members countries. Until 2002, the national currencies
will continue to exist, but exchange rates will be tied to the euro. The
introduction of the euro is likely to affect all stages of the investment
process, including trading, foreign exchange and accounting. Because this
change to a single currency is new, the introduction of the euro may result
in market volatility and may affect the business or financial conditions of
European issuers or of a Portfolio investing in European issuers. In
addition, while the conversion will eliminate currency risk among the
participating nations, currency risk between the euro and the U.S. dollar
remains a factor.
12. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Funds participate in a $500,000,000 committed revolving line of credit
facility. The facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes.
Under the arrangement, the Funds are required to own securities having a
market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest
rate on borrowings varies depending on the nature of the loan. The facility
also requires a fee to be paid based on the amount of the commitment which
has not been utilized. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Funds
did not have any borrowings under these facilities.

and Growth, The Hartford Stock, The Hartford Capital Appreciation, The Hartford
Small Company, The Hartford International Opportunities, The Hartford Global
Leaders, The Hartford High Yield, The Hartford MidCap and The Hartford Growth
and Income Funds) (the Funds) as of December 31, 1998, and the related
statements of operations, statement of changes in net assets and financial
highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian bank. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Funds comprising The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. for the
periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
