A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholders:

Thank you for investing in Hartford Exchange-Traded Funds. The following is the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report that covers the period from August 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020.

Market Review

During the six months ended January 31, 2020, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 9.31%. Those returns came on the heels of a robust 12-month gain

 

for the S&P 500 of 31.49% for calendar year 2019 that initially carried into early January 2020.

For the period, geopolitical issues provided a mixed picture. The new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement signed in January was seen as a potential positive for North American trade. Tensions around the U.S.-China trade dispute subsided with the signing in January of a Phase One agreement on tariffs and trade reforms, while military tensions between the U.S. and Iran briefly rattled markets. In the U.S., investors appeared to take the impeachment trial of President Trump in stride.

Equities got off to a strong start in early- and mid-January before running into late-period headwinds arising from the initial effects of the emergence of the new coronavirus strain, COVID-19, originating in China. As the period ended, volatility had returned to global markets as investors began to digest the outbreak’s anticipated negative impact on economic growth and global supply chains.

Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, the overall U.S. economy had begun the year in a good place, with unemployment at a 50-year low, inflation only a touch below the 2% target rate set by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), and most growth forecasts optimistic for continued expansion. But the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the global economy continued to cast a cloud over what had initially appeared to be an otherwise healthy investment environment. As a result, global markets have become volatile.

The Fed had been expected to leave rates unchanged for 2020, but was forced to dramatically change course as the dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic began to take shape. On March 3, 2020 the Fed reduced its key interest rate by a full half-percent in an effort to preserve liquidity. Another reduction later in March took interest rates to near zero.

Needless to say, a global pandemic of unknown duration suggests a need to make careful decisions regarding your investment portfolio. As always, you should maintain a strong relationship with your financial advisor, who can guide you through shifting markets while helping you find a good fit within our family of funds.

Thank you again for investing in Hartford Exchange-Traded Funds. For the most up-to-date information on our complete selection of ETFs, please take advantage of all the resources available at hartfordfunds.com.

Information regarding how often shares of the Fund traded on NYSE Arca at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at hartfordfunds.com/activeETFs.

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

Total returns are calculated using the daily 4:00 pm net asset value (NAV). Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

The Fund’s shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Fund and tender those shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Unit aggregations only, typically consisting of 50,000 shares.

The index is unmanaged, and its results include reinvested dividends and/or distributions, but do not reflect the effect of sales charges, commissions, expenses or taxes.

You cannot invest directly in an index.

See “Benchmark Glossary” for benchmark descriptions.

The total annual fund operating expense ratio as shown in the Fund’s most recent prospectus was 0.30%. Expenses shown include acquired fund fees and expenses. Actual expenses may be higher or lower. Please see the accompanying Financial Highlights for expense ratios for the period ended January 31, 2020.

Important Risks

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The net asset value (NAV) of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate due to changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to changes in the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange. The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable. Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. High-yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater risk of price volatility, illiquidity, and default than higher-rated debt securities. In certain instances, unlike other ETFs, the Fund may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than in-kind, which may make the Fund less tax-efficient and incur more fees than an ETF that primarily or wholly effects creations and redemptions in-kind.

The Fund’s share price may fluctuate due to changes in the relative supply of and demand for the shares on an exchange.

As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Municipal securities may be adversely impacted by state/local, political, economic, or market conditions; these risks may be magnified if the Fund focuses its assets in municipal securities of issuers in a few select states. Investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax as well as state and local income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable. Mortgage related- and asset-backed securities’ risks include credit, interest-rate, prepayment, and extension risk. 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. The purchase of securities in the To-Be-Announced (TBA) market can result in additional

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, 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 and economic developments. The Fund may have high portfolio turnover, which could increase its transaction costs and an investor’s tax liability. In certain instances, unlike other ETFs, the Fund may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than in-kind, which may make the Fund less tax-efficient and incur more fees than an ETF that primarily or wholly effects creations and redemptions in-kind.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including investment management fees and certain 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 exchange-traded 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 August 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020. 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 ratio 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 brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of shares of the Funds. 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 exchange-traded funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. Expense ratios may vary period to period because of various factors, such as an increase in expenses not covered by the management fee (including expenses of the independent trustees and their counsel, extraordinary expenses and interest expense). Expenses are equal to a Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The Fund may refer to any one or more of the industry classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indices, ratings group and/or as defined by Fund management. Industry classifications may not be identical across all security types.

    

For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund may not use the same classification system. These classifications are used for financial reporting purposes.

 

    

See “Glossary” for abbreviation descriptions.

 

(1)

Security was purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be sold in transactions that are exempt from registration (typically only to qualified institutional buyers) or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. At January 31, 2020, the aggregate value of these securities was $30,494,386, representing 26.5% of net assets.

 

(2)

Variable or floating rate security, which interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.

 

(3)

Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at January 31, 2020. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or cap.

 

(4)

Security is a “step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate.

 

(5)

Fixed to variable rate investment. The rate shown reflects the fixed rate in effect at January 31, 2020. Rate will reset at a future date. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or cap.

 

(6) 

Security is exempt from registration under Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside of the United States. Security may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. At January 31, 2020, the aggregate value of this security was $243,874, representing 0.2% of net assets.

 

(7) 

Senior floating rate interests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR, and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or cap. Unless otherwise noted, the interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the rate in effect as of January 31, 2020.

 

(8)

Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(9)

Represents or includes a TBA transaction.

 

(10)

Current yield as of period end.

The Fund may refer to any one or more of the industry classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indices, ratings group and/or as defined by Fund management. Industry classifications may not be identical across all security types.

 

    

For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund may not use the same classification system. These classifications are used for financial reporting purposes.

 

    

See “Glossary” for abbreviation descriptions.

 

(1) 

Securities disclosed are interest-only strips.

 

(2) 

Security was purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be sold in transactions that are exempt from registration (typically only to qualified institutional buyers) or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. At January 31, 2020, the aggregate value of these securities was $114,153,066, representing 17.2% of net assets.

 

(3) 

Variable or floating rate security, which interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.

 

(4) 

Variable rate securities; the rate reported is the coupon rate in effect at January 31, 2020. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or cap.

 

(5) 

Security is a “step-up” bond where coupon increases or steps up at a predetermined date. Rate shown is current coupon rate.

 

(6) 

Security is exempt from registration under Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside of the United States. Security may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

Schedule of Investments – (continued)

January 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

(9) 

Represents entire or partial securities on loan. See Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements for securities lending information.

 

(10) 

Security is a zero-coupon bond.

 

(11) 

The rate shown represents current yield to maturity.

 

(12) 

Senior floating rate interests generally pay interest rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are primarily the LIBOR, and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. Senior floating rate interests often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. Base lending rates may be subject to a floor or cap. Unless otherwise noted, the interest rate disclosed for these securities represents the rate in effect as of January 31, 2020.

 

(13) 

Represents an unsettled loan commitment. The coupon rate will be determined at time of settlement.

 

(14) 

This security, or a portion of this security, has unfunded loan commitments. As of January 31, 2020, the aggregate value of the unfunded commitment was $22,907, which rounds to 0.0% of total net assets.

 

(15) 

Represents or includes a TBA transaction.

 

(16) 

The principal amount for these securities are adjusted for inflation and the interest payments equal a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount.

 

(17)

(18) 

All, or a portion of the security, was pledged as collateral in connection with futures contracts. As of January 31, 2020, the market value of securities pledged was $955,188.

 

(19) 

Current yield as of period end.

1.

Organization:

Hartford Funds Exchange-Traded Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered management investment company comprised of four operational series as of January 31, 2020. Financial statements for the series of the Trust listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report.

Hartford Funds Exchange-Traded Trust:

Hartford Municipal Opportunities ETF (the “Municipal Opportunities ETF”)

Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond ETF (the “Tax-Aware Bond ETF”)

Hartford Short Duration ETF (the “Short Duration ETF”)

Hartford Total Return Bond ETF (the “Total Return Bond ETF”)

Municipal Opportunities ETF commenced operations on December 13, 2017. Total Return Bond ETF commenced operations on September 27, 2017. Tax-Aware Bond ETF commenced on operations on April 18, 2018. Short Duration ETF commenced operation on May 30, 2018. Each Fund is an actively managed, exchange-traded fund (‘‘ETF’’) that trades on an exchange like other publicly traded securities. Shares of Municipal Opportunities ETF, Tax-Aware Bond ETF and Total Return Bond ETF are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Shares of Short Duration ETF are listed and traded on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”). Each share of a Fund represents a partial ownership in securities held by the Fund. Shares of a Fund may be purchased or redeemed directly from the Fund in Creation Units at net asset value (“NAV”) only by certain large institutional investors (‘‘Authorized Participants’’) who have entered into agreements with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (‘‘ALPS’’ or the ‘‘Distributor’’), the Funds’ Distributor.

The assets of each Fund are separate, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 20, 2010 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The shares of the Funds are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’). Each Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund applies specialized accounting and reporting standards under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

 

2.

Significant Accounting Policies:

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

 

  a)

Determination of Net Asset Value – The NAV of each Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open (“Valuation Date”). 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 creation and redemption orders and calculate each Fund’s NAV in accordance with applicable law. The net asset value for the shares is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to the shares by the number of shares outstanding. 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 MeasurementsFor purposes of calculating the NAV of the shares of each Fund, portfolio securities and other assets held in a Fund’s portfolio for which market prices are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official close price or last reported trade price. If no trades were reported, market value is based on prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers (including evaluated prices), or independent pricing services. Pricing vendors may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, general market conditions, news, and other factors and assumptions.

If market prices are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, a Fund will use the fair value of the security or other instrument as determined in good faith under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“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.

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, sell or redeem shares of the Fund.

Fixed income investments (other than short-term obligations) held by a Fund are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term exceeded 60 days.

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 sell shares of a Fund.

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

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

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

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The U.S. GAAP fair value measurement standards require disclosure of a fair value hierarchy for each major category of assets and liabilities. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad hierarchy levels. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 1 may include exchange-traded instruments, such as domestic equities, some foreign equities, options, futures, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, rights and warrants.

   

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar investments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 may include debt investments that are traded less frequently than exchange traded instruments and which are valued using independent pricing services; 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 Trustees (the “Board”) 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 as applicable, knowledgeable brokers, and legal counsel in making such determination. The Valuation Committee reports to the Audit Committee of the Board. 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.

 

  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 gain 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)

Dividend Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends are declared pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board. Dividends and/or distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date. The policy of each Fund is to pay dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. Dividends from realized gains, if any, are paid at least once a year. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

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 January 31, 2020.

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 January 31, 2020.

 

  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 debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. Senior floating rate interests are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the senior floating rate interest. 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.

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 January 31, 2020.

 

  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 January 31, 2020.

 

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 six-month period ended January 31, 2020, Tax-Aware Bond ETF, Short Duration ETF and Total Return Bond ETF had entered into 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2020, Short Duration ETF and Total Return Bond ETF had entered into 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 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2020, Total Return Bond ETF had entered into Options Contracts.

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 swap. 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 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 six-month period ended January 31, 2020, Total Return Bond ETF had entered into 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 (e.g. London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)), 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.

Total Return Swap Contracts – Certain Funds may invest in total return swap contracts in pursuit of the Fund’s investment objective or for hedging purposes. An investment in a total return swap allows a Fund to gain or mitigate exposure to underlying reference assets. Total return swap contracts involve commitments where cash flows are exchanged based on the price of underlying reference assets and based on a fixed or variable interest rate. One party receives payments based on the price appreciation or depreciation of the underlying reference asset, in exchange for paying to or receiving from the counterparty seller an agreed-upon interest rate. A variable interest rate may be correlated to a base rate, such as the LIBOR, and is adjusted each reset period, which is defined at the beginning of the contract. Therefore, if interest rates increase over the term of the swap contract, the party paying the rate may be required to pay a higher rate at each swap reset date.

Total return swap contracts on indices involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One party pays out the total return of a specific reference asset, which may be an equity, index, or bond, and in return receives a regular stream of payments. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. If the Fund is a payer in a total return swap, it may be subject to unlimited losses. They are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.

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 January 31, 2020:

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.

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.

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. 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.

Federal Income Taxes:

 

  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, 2020. 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.

Expenses:

 

  a)

Investment Management Agreement – Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC” or the “Adviser”) serves as each Fund’s investment manager pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Trust. 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 pursuant to which Wellington Management performs the daily investment of the assets of each of Municipal Opportunities ETF, Short Duration ETF, and Total Return Bond ETF in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and policies. HFMC has contracted with Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA”) under a sub-advisory agreement and SIMNA has contracted with Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.”) under a sub-sub-advisory agreement with respect to Tax-Aware Bond ETF. SIMNA and SIMNA Ltd. perform the daily investment of the assets of Tax-Aware Bond ETF in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Each Fund pays a fee to HFMC, a portion of which may be used to compensate the applicable sub-adviser.

Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser agrees to pay all expenses of the Trust, except (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes and acquired fund fees and expenses) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) extraordinary expenses; (iv) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (v) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Investment Management Agreement. The payment or assumption by the Adviser of any expense of the Trust that the Adviser is not required by the Investment Management Agreement to pay or assume shall not obligate the Adviser to pay or assume the same or any similar expense of the Trust on any subsequent occasion.

The schedule below reflects the rates of compensation paid to HFMC for investment management services rendered as of January 31, 2020; the rates are accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, at the following annual rates:

 

Fund

  

Management Fee Rates

Municipal Opportunities ETF

   0.29%

Tax-Aware Bond ETF

   0.39%

Short Duration ETF

   0.29%

Total Return Bond ETF

   0.29%

 

  b)

Distribution Plans – Each Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which payments of up to 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets may be made for the sale and distribution of its shares. The Board has determined that the Funds may not make payments under the Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan until authorized to do

 

 

  61  

 


Hartford Active Fixed Income ETFs

  so by affirmative action of the Board. No Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of the respective Fund’s assets, and over time, these fees increase the cost of your investment and they may cost you more than certain other types of asset-based charges.

For the period ended January 31, 2020, the Funds did not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees.

 

  c)

Other Related Party Transactions – Certain officers of the Trust are trustees and/or officers of HFMC and/or The Hartford or its subsidiaries. For the six-month period ended January 31, 2020, a portion of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer’s (“CCO”) compensation was paid by HFMC. As part of the Funds’ Investment Management Agreement, HFMC also pays any CCO compensation on behalf of the Funds.

 

8.

Securities Lending:

The Trust 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 (3313%) of the value of its total assets. If a Fund security is on loan, under the lending agreement, the borrower is required to deposit cash or liquid securities as collateral at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities; cash collateral is invested for the benefit of the Fund by the Fund’s lending agent pursuant to collateral investment guidelines. The collateral is marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned.

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

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

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

The following table presents the market value of the Funds’ securities on loan, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received by the Funds as of January 31, 2020.

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.

Custodian and Transfer Agent:

State Street serves as Custodian for the Funds pursuant to a custodian agreement (“Custodian Agreement”) dated December 31, 2014, as amended November 21, 2017. As Custodian, State Street holds each Fund’s assets, calculates the net asset value of the shares and calculates net income and realized capital gains or losses. State Street serves as Transfer Agent of each Fund pursuant to a transfer agency agreement (“Transfer Agency Agreement”) dated February 13, 2018. As Transfer Agent, State Street maintains the records of each Authorized Participant’s ownership of each Fund and processes the purchases and redemptions of Creation Units.

For the services provided under the Custodian Agreement and Transfer Agency Agreement, HFMC, and not the Funds, compensates State Street pursuant to the Funds’ unitary management fee structure.

Share Transactions:

Each Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only with certain Authorized Participants in large increments known as ‘‘Creation Units.” Purchases of Creation Units are made by tendering a basket of designated securities to a Fund and redemption proceeds are paid with a basket of securities from the Fund with a balancing cash component to equate the market value of the basket securities delivered or redeemed to the NAV per Creation Unit on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery. Each Fund’s shares are available in smaller increments to individual investors in the secondary market at market prices and may be subject to commissions. Authorized Participants may be required to pay a transaction fee when purchasing and redeeming Creation Units of the Fund. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

Purchase or redemption of Creation Units is only available to an Authorized Participant. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a ‘‘Participating Party,’’ (i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process of the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC) (‘‘Clearing Process’’), or (2) a participant of DTC (‘‘DTC Participant’’), and, in each case, must have executed an agreement (‘‘Participation Agreement’’) with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units.

If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash or outside of the Clearing Process, a higher transaction fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for each Fund:

     50,000      $     500        2,043,500      $     500  

Shares of Municipal Opportunities ETF, Tax-Aware Bond ETF and Total Return Bond ETF are listed and traded throughout the day on the NYSE Arca and shares of Short Duration ETF are listed and traded on Cboe BZX. Shares of each Fund are publicly traded. Retail investors may purchase or sell shares in the secondary market (not from the Fund) through a broker or dealer. Investors purchasing or selling shares in the secondary market may pay a commission, market premium or discount or other transaction charge, to a broker or dealer, as well as some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price for each purchase or sale transaction. Unless imposed by a broker or dealer, there is no minimum dollar amount upon purchase and no minimum number of shares that must be purchased in the secondary market. Because transactions in the secondary market occur at market prices, an investor may pay more than NAV upon purchase of shares and may receive less than a Fund’s NAV upon sale of shares.

Because each Fund is structured as an ETF, individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a listing exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Each Fund will only issue or redeem Creation Units (50,000 shares) to Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor. The Funds generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated basket of securities (and an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. The Funds do not impose any restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions; however, the Funds reserve the right to reject or limit purchases at any time.

Indemnifications:

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust shall indemnify its officers and trustees to the full extent required or permitted under the applicable laws of the State of Delaware and federal securities laws. In addition, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, as of the date of these financial statements, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

The FASB issued ASU 2017-08 (the “ASU”) to amend the amortization period to the earliest call date for purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for private entities one year later. Upon initial adoption, the impacted Funds adjusted the cost of their callable debt securities by the cumulative amount of amortization that would have been recognized had the amortization period initially extended only to the earliest call date, with a corresponding reclassification between interest income and net realized gain (loss) on investments or net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in the Statements of Operations. The adoption of the ASU does not affect the impacted Funds’ net asset values and the cumulative effect to the impacted Funds resulting from the adoption of amending the amortization period to the earliest call date for callable debt securities is as follows:

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update introduces new fair value disclosure requirements, eliminates some prior fair value disclosure requirements, and modifies certain existing fair value disclosure requirements.

ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, however, an entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. Management has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2018-13 that eliminate disclosure requirements effective with the current reporting period. The impact of each Fund’s early adoption of these provisions was limited to changes in the Fund’s financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting the additional provisions of ASU 2018-13.

Subsequent Events:

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the period ended January 31, 2020, events and transactions subsequent to January 31, 2020, through the date the financial statements were issued have been evaluated by the Funds’ management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure.

The affects to public health, business and market conditions resulting from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that escalated during the first quarter of 2020 may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Funds’ investments. The extent and duration of this impact is currently unclear.

(each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each registered investment company’s board of trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the investment company, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), annually review and consider the continuation of the investment company’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. At its meeting held on August 6-7, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Hartford Funds Exchange-Traded Trust (the “Trust”), including each of the Independent Trustees, unanimously voted to approve (i) the continuation of an investment management agreement by and between Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (“HFMC”) and the Trust on behalf of each of the Funds (the “Investment Management Agreement”); (ii) the continuation of an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Schroders Sub-Advisory Agreement”) by and between HFMC and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA Inc.”) on behalf of Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond ETF; (iii) a separate secondary sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement”) by and between SIMNA Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.”) on behalf of Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond ETF; and (iv) the continuation of an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Wellington Sub-Advisory Agreement” and collectively with the Investment Management Agreement, the Schroders Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) by and between HFMC and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington,” and together with HFMC, SIMNA Inc. and SIMNA Ltd., the “Advisers”), on behalf of Hartford Municipal Opportunities ETF, Hartford Short Duration ETF and Hartford Total Return Bond ETF.

In the months preceding the August 6-7, 2019 meeting, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Advisers to questions posed to the Advisers on behalf of the Independent Trustees 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 at its meetings throughout the year, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the approval of the Agreements that was presented at the Board’s meetings held on June 18, 2019 and August 6-7, 2019. Information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, legal, compliance and risk management matters, sales and marketing activity, and the other services provided to each Fund by the Advisers and their affiliates. The Board also considered the materials and in-person presentations by Fund officers and representatives of HFMC received at the Board’s meetings on June 18, 2019 and August 6-7, 2019 concerning the Agreements.

The Independent Trustees, 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 and overall expense ratio compared to those of comparable registered investment companies with similar investment objectives. The Independent Trustees also engaged an independent financial services consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist them in evaluating each Fund’s management fees, overall expense ratio and investment performance. In addition, the Consultant reviewed the profitability methodologies utilized by HFMC in connection with the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement.

In determining whether to approve 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 Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements and, throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Funds. The Independent Trustees were also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the evaluation process. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval 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 its 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.

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)

 

 

 

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, 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, and, in particular, 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 and invest in business continuity planning.

With respect to HFMC, the Board noted that, under the Investment 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 management services in connection with selecting, monitoring and supervising the Sub-advisers. 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-advisers. 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 recognized 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 each Sub-adviser and ongoing oversight of each Sub-adviser’s investment approach and results, process for monitoring best execution of portfolio trades and other trading operations by each 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 and noted the income earned by the Funds in connection with their participating in the 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. In addition, the Board considered that HFMC or its affiliates are responsible for providing the Funds’ officers.

With respect to the Sub-advisers, which are responsible for the daily investment of their respective Funds, subject to oversight by HFMC, the Board considered, among other things, each Sub-adviser’s investment personnel, investment process, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, trade execution capabilities and experience. The Board considered the quality and experience of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s), the number of accounts managed by the portfolio manager(s), and each Sub-adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio manager(s). The Board also considered each Sub-adviser’s succession planning to ensure continuity of portfolio management services provided to the Funds.

The Board considered HFMC’s efforts to provide investors in the Hartford Funds with a broad range of investment styles and asset classes and the assumption of entrepreneurial and other risks by HFMC in connection with sponsoring new funds to expand these opportunities for shareholders and providing ongoing services to each Fund. The Board considered the special attributes of the Funds, which are exchange-traded funds, relative to traditional mutual funds and the benefits that are expected to be realized from an investment in the Funds, rather than a traditional mutual fund. The Board also considered the resources devoted by HFMC and its affiliates in developing and maintaining an infrastructure necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Funds.

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-advisers.

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. 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 Agreements. These reports included, among other things, information on each Fund’s gross returns and net returns, the Fund’s investment performance relative to an appropriate benchmark and peer group (if available), various statistics concerning the Fund’s portfolio, a narrative summary of various factors affecting Fund performance and commentary of the effect of current and recent market conditions. 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 Agreements. The Board also considered the analysis provided by the Consultant relating to each Fund’s performance track record.

In light of all the considerations noted above, the Board concluded that it had continued confidence in HFMC’s and each Sub-adviser’s overall capabilities to manage the Funds, as applicable.

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

 

 

  68  

 


Hartford Active Fixed Income ETFs

Approval of Investment Management and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) – (continued)

 

 

 

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. The Board also requested and received information relating to the operations and profitability of the Sub-advisers. The Board considered representations from HFMC, SIMNA Inc. and Wellington that the respective Sub-adviser’s fees were negotiated at arm’s length and that the sub-advisory fees are paid by HFMC and not the Funds. The Board also considered that SIMNA Ltd. is an affiliate of SIMNA Inc. and that SIMNA Ltd.’s sub-sub-advisory fees would be paid by SIMNA Inc., not the Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the profitability of each 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 Investment 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. In this regard, the Board noted that the Consultant had previously performed a full review of this process and reported that such process is 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 the Funds were not excessive.

Comparison of Fees and Services Provided by the Advisers

The Board considered the comparative information that had been provided at meetings on June 18, 2019 and August 6-7, 2019 with respect to the services rendered to and the management fees to be paid by each Fund to HFMC and the total expense ratio of the Fund. The Board considered that HFMC would pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) expenses incident to the creation and redemption of its shares; (iv) legal fees in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith and any obligation which the Trust may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect thereto; (v) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; (vi) such extraordinary non-recurring expenses as may arise; and (vii) acquired fund fees and expenses. The Board also considered comparative information with respect to the sub-advisory fees to be paid by HFMC to SIMNA Inc. and Wellington with respect to each Fund, as applicable. In this regard, the Board requested and reviewed information from HFMC, SIMNA Inc. and Wellington 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 and total expense ratio relative to an appropriate group of funds selected by 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 applicable peer groups and noted that the peer groups are comprised of only other actively managed exchange-traded funds. 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 registered investment companies 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 recommendations of the Consultant relating to each Fund’s fees and total operating expenses.

The Board received information regarding fees charged by HFMC to other Hartford Funds that are mutual funds with investment strategies similar to those of Hartford Municipal Opportunities ETF, Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond ETF, Hartford Short Duration ETF, and Hartford Total Return Bond ETF. The Board reviewed information about structural, operational and other differences between the Funds and the mutual funds, including differences in the marketplace in which each type of product must compete. The Board also received information regarding fees charged by the Sub-advisers 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-advisers about any differences between a Sub-adviser’s services to the Funds and the services it 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 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 also considered that any economies of scale achieved by a Fund would benefit HFMC due to the unitary fee structure of each Fund. The Board considered that each Fund could achieve some economies of scale as assets in the Fund grow. The Board considered that, although the Funds’ unitary fee structure does not have breakpoints, the Funds’ unitary fee rates

 

 

  69

had been set competitively and/or priced to scale at inception and are maintained at those competitive fixed rates even if a particular Fund’s assets decline and/or operating costs rise. In addition, the Board considered that making additional investments intended to enhance services available to the Funds and their shareholders is another means of sharing anticipated or potential economies of scale with shareholders. The Board also considered that HFMC has been active in managing expenses, which has resulted in benefits being realized by shareholders.

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 ratio for each Fund at its current and reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Board noted, however, that it would continue to monitor future growth in each Fund’s assets and the appropriateness of management fee breakpoints or other methods to share benefits from economies of scale.

Other Benefits

The Board considered other benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds.

Fund-by-Fund Factors

For purposes of the Fund-by-Fund discussion below, Fund performance is referred to as “in line with” a Fund’s benchmark where it was 0.5% above or below the benchmark return, and each Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark reflects the net performance of the Fund as of March 31, 2019.

Hartford Municipal Opportunities ETF

 

 

The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was in the 1st quintile of its performance universe for the 1-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund’s performance was in line with its benchmark for the 1-year period.

 

 

The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses were ranked 1st out of five in its expense group. In considering the Fund’s expenses, the Board noted the shareholder savings expected to result from a permanent fee reduction implemented in 2018.

Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond ETF
