Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on delivering total return on an after-tax basis through a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities. Its primary function is to balance income generation with tax efficiency, making it particularly attractive for investors mindful of tax liabilities. The fund mainly invests in investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, with a substantial emphasis on tax-exempt municipal bonds, which comprised over 90% of its holdings as of recent data.

Belonging to the intermediate-term core bond category, the fund typically maintains an effective duration close to 8 years, positioning it as moderately sensitive to interest rate movements. Managed by a team at Hartford Funds in collaboration with Schroders, it leverages strategic flexibility to navigate both the taxable and tax-free bond markets across varying economic environments. Noteworthy features include a high credit quality across holdings, monthly income distributions, and a focus on sectors like general obligation, utilities, and public infrastructure. The fund’s role in the market is to serve individuals seeking a tax-advantaged, diversified fixed income solution within a core bond allocation.
