(1) Investments of $1 million or more will not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge.

(2) "Total annual fund operating expenses" do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets that is disclosed in the Fund's annual report in the financial highlights table, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses.

(3) Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC (the "Investment Manager") has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses as follows: 1.05% (Class A), 1.80% (Class C), 0.80% (Class I), 1.35% (Class R3), 1.05% (Class R4), 0.75% (Class R5), 0.78% (Class Y), and 0.75% (Class F). This contractual arrangement will remain in effect until February 29, 2024 unless the Board of Directors of The Hartford Mutual Funds, Inc. approves its earlier termination.

**Example.** The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as shown below, redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>•</sup>

Your investment has a 5% return each year

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>•</sup>

The Fund's operating expenses remain the same (except that the example reflects the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement reflected in the table above for only the first year)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>•</sup>

You reinvest all dividends and distributions.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Share Classes | Year 1 | Year 3 | Year 5 | Year 10 |
| A | $407 | $652 | $916 | $1670 |
| C | $286  | $592  | $1024  | $2226 |
| I | $85 | $278 | $487 | $1091 |
| R3 | $140 | $467  | $816 | $1801 |
| R4 | $110 | $373 | $657 | $1465 |
| R5 | $80 | $277  | $491 | $1108 |
| Y | $83 | $280 | $494 | $1110 |
| F | $80 | $253  | $442 | $988 |

**Portfolio Turnover.** The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 70% of the average value of its portfolio.

**PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY.** The Fund will invest in floating rate loans, floating rate debt securities and investments that are the economic equivalent of floating rate investments to effectively enable the Fund to achieve a floating rate of income. In order to seek a higher current income or for liquidity purposes, the Fund will invest in high yield fixed-rate bonds (also referred to as "junk bonds"). Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets will be invested in a portfolio of: (i) below-investment grade variable or floating rate loans ("Floating Rate Loans") and floating rate securities; (ii) high yield fixed-rate loans or debt securities with respect to which the Fund has entered into interest rate swaps to effectively convert the fixed-rate interest payments into floating-rate interest payments; and (iii) fixed-rate instruments with a duration of less than or equal to one year, including money market securities of all types, repurchase agreements, and shares of money market and short-term bond funds. The Fund normally invests primarily in interests in senior Floating Rate Loans (that are either secured or unsecured) and floating rate securities. The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity or duration. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in below-investment grade debt securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in loans of foreign borrowers and debt securities of foreign issuers, and up to 25% of its net assets in foreign loans or debt securities that are denominated in a foreign currency. The Fund may use foreign currency swaps, foreign currency futures contracts, and forward currency exchange contracts to attempt to mitigate the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and, at a minimum, will use foreign currency swaps, foreign currency futures contracts, and foreign currency exchange contracts to effectively limit non-U.S. currency exposure to 10% of the Fund's net assets. The extent to which the Fund will invest in loans of foreign borrowers and securities of foreign issuers depends upon the view of the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington Management"), of the global loan market, and the allocation to such loans and securities may fluctuate over time. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed-rate loans and debt securities without entering into an interest rate swap. The Fund may invest in "Rule 144A" securities, which are privately placed, restricted securities that may only be resold under certain circumstances to other qualified institutional buyers.

The proceeds of Floating Rate Loans primarily are used to finance leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, dividends, and, to a lesser extent, to finance internal growth and for other corporate purposes. While the Fund may invest in Floating Rate Loans that are unsecured, senior Floating Rate Loans typically hold a senior position in the capital structure of a business entity ("Borrower"), and typically are secured by a lien on specific collateral that is senior to claims by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the Borrower. The Fund may purchase second lien loans, and other subordinated or unsecured loans and debt securities.

------

In order to manage the Fund's interest rate risk, the Fund may use interest rate swaps. The extent to which the Fund will use interest rate swaps depends on Wellington Management's view of the interest rate environment and general market conditions. Generally, if Wellington Management expects interest rates to rise, the Fund may buy interest rate swaps to hedge the portion of its assets invested in fixed-rate debt securities. The Fund may trade securities actively.

As part of the portfolio construction process, Wellington Management uses "bottom-up" fundamental analysis to analyze each Borrower and issuer and its ability to pay principal and interest in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Wellington Management's process focuses on those Borrowers and issuers that generate positive cash flow momentum, exhibit stable or improving debt coverage and have an experienced management team. Wellington Management also evaluates each loan's and each security's structural features, covenants, underlying collateral and price compared to its long-term value. As part of this process, Wellington Management focuses on risk management; analysis of the business cycle; and sector and quality positioning. Wellington Management also integrates the evaluation of financially material environmental, social, and/or governance ("ESG") characteristics (where available for an issuer) into its fundamental analysis. ESG characteristics are one of several factors that contribute to Wellington Management's overall evaluation of the risk and return potential of an issuer.

**PRINCIPAL RISKS.** The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money as a result of your investment. **An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.** As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

**Market Risk –** Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Securities of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.

**Loans and Loan Participations Risk –** Loans and loan participations, including floating rate loans, are subject to credit risk, including the risk of nonpayment of principal or interest. Also, substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan defaults. Although the loans the Fund holds may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. The risks associated with unsecured loans, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral, are higher than those for comparable loans that are secured by specific collateral. In addition, in the event an issuer becomes insolvent, a loan could be subject to settlement risks or administrative disruptions that could adversely affect the Fund's investment. It may also be difficult to obtain reliable information about a loan or loan participation.

Many loans are subject to restrictions on resale (thus affecting their liquidity) and may be difficult to value. As a result, the Fund may be unable to sell its loan interests at an advantageous time or price. Loans and loan participations typically have extended settlement periods (generally greater than 7 days). As a result of these extended settlement periods, the Fund may incur losses if it is required to sell other investments or temporarily borrow to meet its cash needs. Loans may also be subject to extension risk (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more slowly in periods of rising interest rates) and prepayment risk (the risk that borrowers will repay a loan more quickly in periods of falling interest rates).

The Fund may acquire a participation interest in a loan that is held by another party. When the Fund's loan interest is a participation, the Fund may have less control over the exercise of remedies than the party selling the participation interest, and it normally would not have any direct rights against the borrower.

Loan interests may not be considered "securities," and purchasers, such as the Fund, may not, therefore, be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws. The Fund may be in possession of material non-public information about a borrower or issuer as a result of its ownership of a loan or security of such borrower or issuer. Because of prohibitions on trading in securities of issuers while in possession of such information, the Fund may be unable to enter into a transaction in a loan or security of such a borrower or issuer when it would otherwise be advantageous to do so.

------

**Liquidity Risk –** The risk that the market for a particular investment or type of investment is or becomes relatively illiquid, making it difficult for the Fund to sell that investment at an advantageous time or price. Illiquidity may be due to events relating to the issuer of the securities, market events, rising interest rates, economic conditions or investor perceptions. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value and their value may be lower than the market price of comparable liquid securities, which would negatively affect the Fund's performance.

**High Yield Investments Risk –** High yield investments rated below investment grade (also referred to as "junk bonds") are considered to be speculative and are subject to heightened credit risk, which may make the Fund more sensitive to adverse developments in the U.S. and abroad. Lower rated debt securities generally involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness than higher rated debt securities. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than those of higher rated securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty. There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value or sell.

**Credit Risk –** Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security or other instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. Changes in an issuer's financial strength, credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund's investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation. Periods of market volatility may increase credit risk.

**Call Risk –** Call risk is the risk that an issuer, especially during a period of falling interest rates, may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Fund's income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates.

**Counterparty Risk –** The risk that the counterparty in a transaction by the Fund may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations.

**Derivatives Risk –** Derivatives are instruments whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's original investment. Successful use of derivative instruments by the Fund depends on the sub-adviser's judgment with respect to a number of factors and the Fund's performance could be worse and/or more volatile than if it had not used these instruments. In addition, the fluctuations in the value of derivatives may not correlate perfectly with the value of any portfolio assets being hedged, the performance of the asset class to which the sub-adviser seeks exposure, or the overall securities markets.

**Leverage Risk –** Certain transactions, such as the use of derivatives, may give rise to leverage. Leverage can increase market exposure, increase volatility in the Fund, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations when it may not be advantageous to do so.

**Forward Currency Contracts Risk –** A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. While forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of foreign securities, they do allow the Fund to establish a fixed rate of exchange for a future point in time. Use of such contracts, therefore, can have the effect of reducing returns and minimizing opportunities for gain. The Fund could also lose money when the contract is settled. The Fund's gains from its positions in forward foreign currency contracts may accelerate and/or recharacterize the Fund's income or gains and its distributions to shareholders as ordinary income. The Fund's losses from such positions may also recharacterize the Fund's income and its distributions to shareholders and may cause a return of capital to Fund shareholders. Such acceleration or recharacterization could affect an investor's tax liability.

**Swaps Risk –** A swap is a contract that generally obligates the parties to exchange payments based on a specified reference security, basket of securities, security index or index component. Swaps can involve greater risks than direct investment in securities because swaps may be leveraged and are subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy), credit risk and pricing risk (i.e., swaps may be difficult to value). Certain swaps may also be considered illiquid. It may not be possible for the Fund to liquidate a swap position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.

**Event Risk –** Event risk is the risk that corporate issuers may undergo restructurings, such as mergers, leveraged buyouts, takeovers, or similar events financed by increased debt. As a result of the added debt, the credit quality and market value of a company's bonds and/or other debt securities may decline significantly.

------

**Foreign Investments Risk –** Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), may affect the value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities. Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Fund's foreign investments.

**Currency Risk –** The risk that the value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities or currencies will be affected by the value of the applicable currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the Fund sells a foreign currency or foreign currency denominated security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the investment increases in value in its local market. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the revenue earned by issuers of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer's local currency.

**Interest Rate Risk –** The risk that your investment may go down in value when interest rates rise, because when interest rates rise, the prices of bonds and fixed rate loans fall. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policies and inflation rates. Generally, the longer the maturity of a bond or fixed rate loan, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Falling interest rates also create the potential for a decline in the Fund's income. These risks are greater during periods of rising inflation. Volatility in interest rates and in fixed income markets may increase the risk that the Fund's investment in fixed income securities will go down in value. Risks associated with rising interest rates are currently heightened because the Federal Reserve has raised, and may continue to raise, interest rates and inflation is elevated. Actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, such as decreases or increases in short-term interest rates, may adversely affect markets, which could, in turn, negatively impact Fund performance.

**Restricted Securities Risk –** Restricted securities are subject to the risk that they may be difficult to sell at the time and price the Fund prefers.

**Volatility Risk –** The Fund's investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. This may cause the Fund's net asset value per share to experience significant changes in value over short periods of time.

**Active Investment Management Risk –** The risk that, if the sub-adviser's investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. Although the sub-adviser considers several factors when making investment decisions, the sub-adviser may not evaluate every factor prior to investing in a company or issuer, and the sub-adviser may determine that certain factors are more significant than others.

**LIBOR Risk –** The Fund may invest in certain securities, derivatives, or other financial instruments that use a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a reference rate for various rate calculations. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, has ceased publishing certain LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021, and the remaining LIBOR settings are expected to be discontinued on June 30, 2023. Some regulated entities (such as banks) have ceased to enter into new LIBOR-based contracts beginning January 1, 2022. The transition process away from LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates, and the use of an alternative reference rate (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) may adversely affect the Fund's performance. In addition, the usefulness of LIBOR may deteriorate in the period leading up to its discontinuation, which could adversely affect the liquidity or market value of securities that use LIBOR.

**Active Trading Risk –** Active trading could increase the Fund's transaction costs and may increase your tax liability as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. These effects may adversely affect Fund performance.

**ESG Integration Risk –** Integrating ESG analysis into the investment process carries the risk that the Fund may perform differently from, and may underperform, funds that do not integrate ESG into their analysis, or funds that evaluate different ESG characteristics. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and as a result, the Fund's investments may not have favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.

**Large Shareholder Transaction Risk –** The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund's performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund's performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs.
