“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.

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.

The attorney will interact closely with fund counsel, independent legal counsel, independent auditors, and colleagues throughout the Hartford Funds organization and its senior leadership team. In addition, the attorney will have opportunities to play a key role in connection with product development initiatives, including the launch of new products or reorganization or repositioning of existing products, evaluating regulatory and industry developments, and collaborating in the development and evaluation of compliance policies and procedures.

The attorney filling this position will report to the Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Hartford Funds, who also serves as the Corporate Secretary for the Funds and is responsible for planning and leading the Board meetings.
