3 Q4 Summary Global equities continued their momentum by pushing higher in Q4. Emerging market equities gained 7.5%, European equities gained 2.3%, US equities gained 6.5%, and Japanese equities gained 8.5%. Consumer discretionary, information technology, and financials were the bestperforming US sectors, and utilities was the worst-performing sector in both the US and developed markets (ex US). Quality was the best-performing factor for US equities, and the momentum factor was the best performing for developed markets (ex US). As of 12/31/17. Emerging market equities are represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. European equities are represented by the MSCI Europe Index, which is a free-float adjusted market-capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the equity market performance of the developed markets in Europe: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. US equities are represented by the MSCI USA Index, which is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid cap segments of the US market. With 627 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the US. Japanese equities are represented by the MSCI Japan Index, which is a free-float adjusted market-capitalization index designed to measure large- and mid-cap Japanese equity market performance. MSCI performance is shown gross of dividend withholding tax. Sector performance for US equities and developed markets (ex US) equities is calculated from a universe of developed market equities as defined by Hartford Funds. To be included in the universe, a stock must have had an average daily trading volume over the last 6 months > $1.5 million and a total market capitalization > $500 million.

4 Structural Factor Performance Performance of 15 developed markets: Largest market cap to smallest The rally in developed markets has been broad based, extending beyond the largest nations in which passive capitalization-weighted indexes are concentrated (as of 12/31/17) 60% 50% 1-Year Return 5-Year Return 10-Year Return Country Returns 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% United States MSCI World Index Weight Japan United Kingdom France Germany Canada Australia Hong Kong Switzerland Netherlands Spain Sweden Italy Denmark Singapore Other 58.9% 8.9% 6.6% 4.0% 3.7% 3.6% 3.0% 2.6% 1.3% 1.3% 1.2% 1.0% 0.9% 0.7% 0.5% 1.8% Country portfolios are capitalization-weighted with free-float market cap. The portfolios are theoretical and assume no fees, trading costs, or short-selling restrictions. Actual results may differ significantly. Performance is based on annual total returns, which includes reinvested dividends but not interest, capital gains, taxes, or transaction costs. A simple average was used to calculate the return for countries in the Other category. MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of 23 developed markets. MSCI performance is shown net of dividend withholding tax. MSCI World Index weightings are rounded. Data source: Compustat. Calculations by Hartford Funds. For illustrative purposes only.

In 2017 the US equity market saw 12 months of positive returns for the first time on record. Quality slightly outperformed for the quarter with a 0.2% excess return over the broad market. Stocks with stable earnings, good return on equity, and consistent sales growth were in favor. Momentum performed well for most of the year, slowing down toward the end. Innovative, disruptive technology companies drove its strong performance in Neutralizing the sector and market-cap weighted impact from the momentum factor, it underperformed for the quarter. The value factor, strong in 2016, underperformed the market each quarter of 2017, underperforming the broad market by 0.8% in Q4. Small size underperformed by 3.9% in Q4. US large-cap stocks significantly outperformed small cap for the quarter and year. Low-volatility stocks also underperformed the broad market for the quarter by 1.5%.

Earnings Yield and Dividend Yield refer to the impact of specific underlying stocks on the performance of the hypothetical portfolios and do not reflect the earnings yield or dividend yield of Hartford ETFs or their indices. Short-term momentum measures recent price appreciation over the last 6 months, excluding the most recent month, and long-term momentum measures recent price appreciation over the last 12 months, excluding the most recent month. The chart illustrates sub-factor performance of value and momentum factor-based hypothetical portfolios using the developed markets ex-us universe as defined by Hartford Funds, which includes the top 2,000 stocks of the large-cap universe as ranked by free-float market cap. Portfolios were rebalanced monthly. From the date of each rebalance, to be included in the universe, a stock must have had an average daily trading volume over the last 6 months > $1.5 million and a total market capitalization > $500 million, resulting in a universe of approximately 2,500 stocks.

21 What are factors? Factors are the building blocks of securities. Equities exhibit positive or negative exposures to these factors, which can explain the drivers of risk and return.

22 Defining the five-factor investment portfolio While there are dozens of factors that drive investment returns, we believe the five factors below have been well documented by academic research, economic logic, and empirical evidence to be the most impactful drivers of long-term returns. Factor Definition: Investment Logic: Value Companies that are considered undervalued Entry price matters to future returns relative to their fundamentals Quality Companies that have historically exhibited strong profitability and healthy balance sheets Considered good defense as companies exhibiting quality characteristics may better withstand a weak economy and turbulent markets; helps avoid value traps Momentum Companies that are appreciating in price and benefiting from positive sentiment Directional market trends, once established, tend to continue Small Size Smaller companies Opportunities to exploit market inefficiencies may exist further down the market-cap spectrum Low Volatility Companies exhibiting lower price volatility than the market average or portfolios that seek to take advantage of diversification benefits by holding lower-correlated assets Contrary to traditional financial theory which asserts that greater risk results in greater return, lower-volatility securities have demonstrated outperformance over higher-volatility securities over long time periods See the Glossary on page 31 for definitions.

24 The space between active and passive Hartford Multifactor ETFs are structured differently than passive cap-weighted ETFs. They seek to track indices that are designed to provide the outperformance potential of an active manager with the transparency, tax-, and cost-efficiency of an ETF. PASSIVE COMPLEMENT TO HARTFORD MULTIFACTOR ETFS COMPLEMENT TO ACTIVE Potential for improved returns beyond the benchmark Ability to decrease unintended concentration risks Can increase intended exposures Lower cost Potential for improved returns relative to low active share funds Greater tax-efficiency Greater transparancy Ordinary brokerage commissions may apply. 24

25 Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets Equity ETF ROAM: Addressing country risk ROAM seeks to track an index that puts the "emerging" back in emerging markets. It is designed to provide greater diversification than passive capitalization-weighted strategies through more exposure to smaller, developing economies with fast-growing potential beyond China, Taiwan, and South Korea Capitalization-weighted Index ROAM Weight in Index/ETF China South Korea Taiwan India South Africa Brazil Russia Mexico Malaysia Thailand Indonesia Poland Chile Philippines Turkey Colombia Other As of 12/31/17. Data Sources: Bloomberg and Hartford Funds. The chart compares the Hartford Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF (ROAM) to the capitalization-weighted MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which is a free-float-adjusted market-capitalization index designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. Country identifications sourced by Bloomberg differ from MSCI s representation. Adjustments for these differences would increase the capitalization-weighted index s concentration in China and ROAM s relative underweight to China would be larger. Holdings subject to change. 25

26 Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets ETF RODM: Addressing valuation and volatility risk RODM seeks attractive valuations... (and other risk/return factors) Hartford Funds Value Factor Score while reducing volatility (over a market cycle versus a capitalization-weighted benchmark) Volatility RODM 0.71 MSCI World ex USA Index RODM 10.9% MSCI World ex USA Index 12.7% A higher score indicates a more attractive valuation as measured by the Hartford Funds Value Factor Score Standard Deviation Since ETF Inception (2/25/15 12/31/17) See the Glossary on page 31 for definitions. An important point of distinction: RODM s index methodology seeks to reduce volatility by selecting securities with lower correlations instead of limiting stock selection to a single factor (volatility) used in other popular approaches. Hartford Funds approach seeks to achieve volatility targets while avoiding unintended risks and gaining exposure to potentially return-enhancing factors: value, momentum, and quality. As of 12/31/17.

31 Glossary Beta is a measure of risk that indicates the price sensitivity of a security or a portfolio relative to a specified market index. Correlation is a statistical measure of how two investments move in relation to each other. A correlation of 1.0 indicates the investments have historically moved in the same direction; a correlation of -1.0 means the investments have historically moved in opposite directions; and a correlation of 0 indicates no historical relationship in the Hartford movement ETFs of the investments. Dividend Yield is a ratio that indicates how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. Earnings Per Share is a ratio that gauges how profitable a company is per share of its stock. Earnings Yield is the earnings per share for the most recent 12-month period divided by the current market price per share. The earnings yield (which is the inverse of the P/E ratio) shows the percentage of each dollar invested in the stock that was earned by the company. EBIDTA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) is a way to measure a company s operating performance without having to factor in financing decisions, accounting decisions, or tax environments. Enterprise Value is a measure of a company s total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. The market capitalization of a company is its share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares. Enterprise value is calculated as the market capitalization plus debt, minority interest, and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. Excess Factor Performance is the performance of factor-based portfolios relative to a benchmark (e.g., MSCI Indexes). Operating Cash Flow is a measure of the amount of cash generated by a company s normal business operations and is used as an indicator of whether a company is able to generate sufficient positive cash flow to maintain and grow its operations. This metric is believed to be a more accurate measure of how much cash a company has generated or used than traditional profitability measures such as net income or EBIT (earnings before interest and tax). Price-to-book ratio is the ratio of a stock s price to its book value per share. Risk Premia is the return in excess of a risk-free rate of return that an investment generates. Sharpe Ratio measures risk-adjusted performance. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better its risk-adjusted performance, while a negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a risk-free asset would have performed better than the security being analyzed. Standard Deviation measures the dispersion of a set of data from its mean and is used to measure the volatility of an investment. A high standard deviation indicates an investment has historically been more volatile, while a low standard deviation indicates an investment has historically been less volatile. 31

Risks Common to ROAM, RODM, ROGS, RORE, and ROUS: All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee any Fund will achieve its stated objective. Due to the investment strategy of these Funds, they may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs. Additional Risks for ROAM: Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Additional Risks for RODM: Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Additional Risks for ROGS: Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets. Small-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. Additional Risks for RORE: A concentration in real estate securities, such as REITs, may subject the Fund to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate as well as the risks related to the way real estate companies are organized and operated. Real estate is sensitive to changes in interest rates and general and local economic conditions and developments. The fund is non-diversified, so it may be more exposed to the risks associated with single issuers than a diversified fund. Additional Risks for ROUS: Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. 32
