HARTFORD SCHRODERS FUNDS PROSPECTUS
DATED MARCH 1, 2019, AS SUPPLEMENTED MARCH 1, 2019
This Supplement contains new and additional information and should be read in connection with your Summary Prospectus and Statutory Prospectus.
On March 6, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Hartford Mutual Funds II, Inc. (the “Company”) considered a proposal to liquidate the Hartford Schroders Global Strategic Bond Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Company. The Board determined that liquidating the Fund is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, and approved the Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”). Accordingly, the Fund will be liquidated pursuant to the Plan (the “Liquidation”) on or before April 30, 2019 (the “Liquidation Date”).
Effective at the close of business on the Liquidation Date, all references to the Fund in the Hartford Schroders Funds Statutory Prospectus and the corresponding Statement of Additional Information, each dated March 1, 2019, will no longer be applicable and shall be considered deleted from those documents.
If you hold Fund shares directly with the Company in an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or similar type of account, such as a SIMPLE, SEP or 403(b) account, maintained by UMB Bank, n.a. (a “Directly Held Qualified Account”), please carefully consider the important information under the section below titled “Information for Directly Held Qualified Accounts.”
SUSPENSION OF SALES. Because of the pending Liquidation, the Fund no longer represents a long-term investment solution. Accordingly, potential investors considering making an initial investment in the Fund should consider other investment options.
· Closed to New Investors. The Fund is instructing its transfer agent, other service providers, and financial intermediaries to no longer accept any account applications or purchase orders from new investors effective no later than the close of business on March 22, 2019. Accordingly, the Fund will be closed to all new investors on or before that date.
· Existing Investors. Until the close of business on April 18, 2019 the Fund will remain open to retirement plans and shareholders currently invested in the Fund. After that date, the Fund will no longer accept any purchase orders and will no longer be available for automatic investments (other than dividend reinvestments). Prior to the Liquidation Date, retirement plans and shareholders currently invested in the Fund may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gain distributions in the Fund.
· Rejection of Orders. At any time prior to the Liquidation Date, the Fund may, in the Fund’s discretion, reject any purchase orders for any reason, including for operational reasons relating to the Liquidation of the Fund...
