Re: The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Registrant”) (SEC File Nos. 333-02381 and 811-07589)
Dear Mr. Nolan:
We are writing in response to a comment you provided telephonically to me on January 30, 2023 with respect to the Registrant’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 178, filed on December 20, 2022, relating to Hartford Real Asset Fund (formerly, The Hartford Global Real Asset Fund) (the “Fund”). On behalf of the Registrant, we have reproduced your comment below and provided the Fund’s response immediately thereafter. Capitalized terms have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Post-Effective Amendment.
Comment: | The Fund’s Annual Fund Operating Expenses table contains a footnote stating that that the expense reimbursement arrangement continues until February 28, 2023. To the extent that the expense reimbursement arrangement will not be continued for at least one year from the effective date of the prospectus, please remove the line items “Fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement” and “Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement” and the corresponding footnote. | |||
Response: | The expense reimbursement arrangement has been extended through February 29, 2024. Accordingly, the Registrant has retained the line items and footnote relating to the expense reimbursement arrangement in the Fund’s Prospectus and has updated the footnote to reflect the new date. | |||
