It employs a broad approach across the health care sector, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical delivery, medical products, medical services, managed health care, health information services, and emerging health-related subsectors; the fund normally allocates at least 25% of total assets, in aggregate, to pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, medical products, and health services; it targets companies of any market capitalization through fundamental stock selection by its sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP. The fund, managed by Hartford Funds Management Company, LLC since its inception on May 1, 2000, maintains a portfolio of approximately 74 holdings, with top positions in companies such as Eli Lilly & Co., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co. Inc., and AbbVie Inc.; it operates primarily in the United States with exposure to non-U.S. equities (about 9%), United Kingdom, Eurozone, and Japan.
