WAYNE, PA — Hartford Funds has launched the Hartford Dynamic Bond ETF (Nasdaq: DYNB), an actively managed multisector bond strategy designed to help investors navigate market volatility. The fund is sub-advised by Wellington Management, which oversees more than $541 billion in fixed-income assets.
The ETF will be managed by Wellington’s Connor Fitzgerald, CFA, and Schuyler Reece, CFA, both seasoned portfolio managers with nearly two decades of experience. The pair also oversee the Hartford Dynamic Bond Fund (HDBIX), a mutual fund that earned a Bronze Medalist Rating from Morningstar in 2024 and has become one of Hartford’s fastest-growing fixed-income offerings.
“We have seen steady demand for flexible, actively managed fixed income strategies, and with ongoing market volatility and uncertainty, we expect that trend to continue,” said Brian Kraus, Head of Product Development at Hartford Funds.
DYNB aims to deliver long-term total return by dynamically adjusting credit quality, duration, and sector allocation across U.S. Treasuries, investment grade and high-yield credit, and U.S. dollar-denominated emerging market debt. The fund is benchmarked against the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index.
Hartford Funds said the ETF structure provides investors access to the same management expertise and flexibility as the mutual fund, while leveraging the liquidity and efficiency of an exchange-traded product.
