&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's
behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto,
and any other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings with
the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation thereunder
adopted by the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as an Section 16 reporting person of one or more registered investment management companies (and any successor companies)
listed on Schedule A attached hereto, as may be amended from time to time, and any other registered investment company for which Hartford
Funds Management Company, LLC or its subsidiary serves as the investment manager (each, a "Fund"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5, complete and execute any amendment
or amendments thereto, and timely file such form with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection
with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required
by, the undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to
this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any and every act whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.

The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Fund assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
