“Hartford Funds” is the marketing name for Hartford Funds Management Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which include two registered investment advisers, a broker-dealer, and a transfer agent.  Hartford Funds is the sponsor of the Hartford Funds Family of Funds (the “Funds”), which is a suite of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and non-exchange listed closed-end funds.  Hartford Funds also manages 529 college savings plans and separately managed account model portfolios.  

As of November 30, 2025, Hartford Funds had approximately $155 billion in assets under management.
** Opportunity**:  Hartford Funds is seeking a mid-level investment management attorney (5+ years of experience) to join its Legal Department, which currently includes a General Counsel, five other attorneys, three paralegals, and an executive assistant.  Although attorneys in the Hartford Funds Legal Department have areas of focus and certain areas of specialization, each attorney has opportunities to work on a wide range of matters in support of business initiatives and in response to industry and regulatory developments.
