- Hartford Schroders Emerging Markets Equity Fund (SEMNX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of emerging market companies. The fund employs a top-down country allocation analysis combined with bottom-up stock selection, with sub-advisory provided by Schroders, which brings over 200 years of experience in public and private markets globally; it maintains a portfolio of approximately 102 holdings, with a turnover rate of 45% and an active share of 60%. Key sectors include information technology (around 30-32%), financials (24-25%), and consumer discretionary (10-11%), while top holdings as of late 2025 feature Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (13.22%), Tencent Holdings Ltd. (6.57%), and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (4.95%); geographic focus spans Asia (78%), EMEA (12%), and Latin America (10%), with heavy emphasis on large-cap stocks (94% over $10 billion market cap). Launched on March 31, 2006, the fund is domiciled in the United States, with Hartford Funds as the primary manager and a team of Schroders portfolio managers including James Gotto, Waj Hashmi, Robert Davy, Tom Wilson, Nicholas Field, and Rollo Roscow; it is available primarily to U.S. investors through share classes such as Class I (SEMNX), with a minimum initial investment of $2,000 and net expense ratio of approximately 1.13-1.26%. The fund's total net assets stand at around $5.6 billion, with the Class I share class comprising about $1.4 billion. As of November 30, 2025, it delivered year-to-date returns of 35.40% for Class I shares, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (29.69%) and the Morningstar Diversified Emerging Markets category (27.22%). Recent portfolio adjustments reflect ongoing active management, including overweight positions in information technology and financials relative to the benchmark, with sector weights shifting slightly from September to November 2025 (e.g., technology from 30% to 32%); the fund announced an annual dividend of $0.19 per share in December 2024, with ex-dividend date December 27, 2024. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, partnerships, or strategic reorganizations specific to the fund have been reported in the last 1-2 years, underscoring its stable operational focus amid volatile emerging markets. The strategy continues to emphasize mid- to large-cap emerging market equities for growth and diversification potential.
