About Hartford Multifactor Developed Markets (ex-US) ETF

RODM uses an integrated multi-factor approach to provide exposure to developed markets outside the US, while attempting to minimize risks that come with a typical market-cap-weighted index. The fund selects stocks using value, momentum and quality inputs, with an emphasis on value, and aims to control the effects that one factor might have on another. These 3 factors also drive stock weighting, along with other considerations. Significant portfolio-level single-stock size limits show up as a bias to midcaps, while volatility constraints are reflected in lower beta. RODM avoids big sector bets due to sector bounds relative to cap weighting. The index is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually. On October 24, 2016, the fund name and index name changed to reflect Hartfords acquisition of Lattice (the former issuer and index provider). There were no changes to the investment objectives or index methodology resulting from the change.
