- Hartford Schroders Tax-Aware Bond ETF (HTAB) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return on an after-tax basis through a crossover strategy investing primarily in investment-grade tax-exempt municipal bonds while opportunistically allocating to taxable fixed income securities, including federal agency debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and cash equivalents; the portfolio emphasizes relative-value opportunities across sectors such as general obligation bonds, federal agencies, corporate-supported munis, utilities, and healthcare, with approximately 91-94% exposure to tax-exempt municipals, 200-221 holdings diversified across 165 issuers, an effective duration of 8.66-9.66 years, and a credit quality focused on high-grade ratings (Aaa/AAA 21-26%, Aa/AA 57-60%, A 15-17%). The ETF trades on the NYSE Arca exchange under ticker HTAB (CUSIP 41653L404), pays monthly dividends with a 30-Day SEC Yield of 3.75-4.17% and trailing 12-month yield of 3.91%, and maintains net assets of $325-411 million as of mid-2025. Launched on April 18, 2018, and sub-advised by Schroders Investment Management North America Inc. with portfolio managers including Neil G. Sutherland, CFA (28 years experience), Julio C. Bonilla, CFA (27 years), Lisa Hornby, CFA (18 years), and David May (15 years), HTAB is issued by Hartford Funds Exchange-Traded Trust, headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, and targets U.S. investors seeking tax-efficient fixed income exposure in the intermediate core bond segment. In October 2024, Hartford Funds entered a strategic relationship with Schroders, adopting 10 of Schroders' existing U.S. mutual funds (totaling $2.2 billion in assets) to be sub-advised by Schroders and renamed Hartford Schroders Funds, reflecting a major expansion of their active fixed income and multi-asset collaboration without specific changes to the HTAB ETF structure. The fund continues regular monthly distributions, such as $0.0548 per share in November 2025 and $0.0617 in October 2025, amid ongoing portfolio turnover of 66% and top holdings including Treasury bills, Freddie Mac structured pass-throughs, and various state municipal obligations.
