Our read on each fund

HDUSBHartford Disciplined US Equity ETF

In short

EPS Large-cap core with a profit filter. Roughly 500 U.S. companies, all of them earnings generators, tracked since 2007 for 0.08% a year. Same plumbing as a plain index fund, with a screen most of them skip.

HDUS A core US large-cap holding with a factor engine under the hood: Hartford's own index rules tilt toward value, momentum and quality while leashing how far the portfolio can drift from the cap-weighted market.

Stated mandate

EPS The fund seeks to track earnings-generating large-cap companies in the U.S. equity market.

HDUS The fund seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the total return of an index tracking exchange-traded U.S. large-cap equity securities.

Why people hold it

  • EPS The screen is the whole point: the index holds large U.S. companies that actually generate earnings, so unprofitable names do not ride in on market cap alone.wisdomtree.com
  • 0.08% a year, under the median for its large-cap peer group, and it still spreads across roughly 500 stocks.
  • Running since 2007 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it has tracked its index tightly and ranks in the top quartile of its large-cap cohort.
  • Pays out quarterly, the standard cadence for a core equity holding.
  • HDUS Rules-based multifactor selection across value, momentum and quality, run through an optimizer that targets a lower volatility level and controlled drift from the cap-weighted universe.hartfordfunds.com
  • Built in-house: the index methodology comes from Lattice Strategies, a Hartford Funds subsidiary, and the portfolio is reshuffled on a set schedule twice a year rather than at a manager's whim.hartfordfunds.cometfexpress.com
  • Spreads the bet across roughly 300 US large caps and pays quarterly, and it does what the prospectus says it does: US large-cap equity, index-tracked, no style wandering.
  • Lands in the upper half of a two-dozen-fund US large-cap peer group, which is respectable company for a smart-beta build competing against plain vanilla trackers.

Worth knowing

  • EPS It trades thinly for the category, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the heavily traded core names in the group.
  • Cheaper shelf-mates exist: SCHX and VV charge 0.03%, BKLC charges nothing. The earnings screen is what the extra basis points buy.
  • Screening on earnings means the portfolio can look different from a plain cap-weighted large-cap index, and its results will drift from that benchmark in both directions.
  • HDUS 0.19% a year is above the typical fee in its large-cap group and several times the 0.03% charged by plain cap-weighted rivals like SCHX and VV. That is the toll for the factor machinery.
  • Small asset base and light trading versus the household-name trackers, so spreads and order size matter more here than with the giants.
  • The factor tilts mean it can diverge from a plain cap-weighted large-cap index in either direction, and the live record only dates to its 2022 launch.hartfordfunds.com
