Hartford Launches Two Alpha Capture ETFs With Wellington

Hartford has launched two actively managed ETFs built around Wellington Management’s multi-team fundamental research platform. The Hartford Alpha Capture International Growth ETF (ACIG) seeks to outperform the MSCI EAFE Growth Index by investing primarily in foreign growth companies, with a focus on large- and mid-cap stocks. Its portfolio manager draws from high-conviction ideas generated by multiple Wellington growth teams and uses quantitative tools to shape portfolio construction. The Hartford Alpha Capture SMID Cap ETF (ACSM) seeks to outperform the Russell 2500 Index and invests at least 80% of assets in U.S. small- and mid-cap companies. ACSM similarly selects from ideas generated across Wellington’s fundamental equity teams, with an emphasis on undervalued companies and attractive risk-return opportunities. Both funds can trade actively and may become more concentrated in particular sectors as a result of stock selection.
