Hartford Funds Management Company LLC

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation

Advisory Fees

Hartford Funds: HFMC receives fees for its services to Hartford Funds including among others,
investment management and administrative services. These fees are negotiated and approved
by the Hartford Funds’ Board of Directors / Trustees (the “Board”) initially for two years and
subsequently subject to re-approval at least annually thereafter. Advisory fees for each Hartford
Fund are generally based on a stated percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This
stated percentage is subject to an expense waiver and or reimbursement arrangement for that
Hartford Fund, as subject and agreed upon by HFMC. Each Hartford Fund pays HFMC for its
services on a monthly basis; fees are deducted directly from each Hartford Funds’ custodian
account. The current fee schedule for each Hartford Fund is disclosed in its SEC registration
statement and at hartfordfunds.com.

Fees calculated for a period of time that are less than a month are calculated at the
annual rates provided in the Hartford Funds’ fee schedule. The fees are pro-rated for the
number of days elapsed in the month in question as a percentage of the total number of days
in such month, based upon the average of that Hartford Fund’s daily net asset value for the
period in question, and paid within a reasonable time after the close of such period.

529 Plans: HFMC receives the investment advisory fee for underlying Hartford Funds that are
used in certain 529 Portfolios.

Model Portfolio Strategies: Advisory fees paid to HFMC for its Model Portfolio Strategies are
agreed to between HFMC and the Program Sponsor.

Asset Allocation Model Portfolios: There are no advisory fees paid to HFMC for its Asset
Allocation Model Portfolios; however, HFMC receives the advisory fees for the underlying
Hartford Funds that are used within these models.

Other Fees
HFMC receives a Program Manager fee for services it performs with respect to the 529 Plans
as disclosed in the 529 Plans’ current offering statements available on the Plans’ website, which
is accrued daily and is factored into each 529 Portfolio’s Unit value. In connection with services
provided, HFMC may also receive fees from investment managers/ distributors to unaffiliated
funds offered in the 529 Plans.

Shareholders of the Funds may incur other fees and expenses imposed by their financial
intermediary. HFMC does not receive a portion of these fees or expenses. For certain
retirement and Coverdell accounts, HFMC receives an annual account maintenance fee and a
portion of the custodial fees associated with these accounts.

Clients of Program Sponsors may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third
party investment advisers and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial
fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, and other fees and taxes on transactions. Such charges, fees and commissions are
separate from HFMC’s fee.

HFMC does not enter into solicitation arrangements on behalf of the Hartford Funds.

HFMC has entered into a solicitation agreement with Schroders, pursuant to which Schroders
has engaged HFMC to refer, offer and provide marketing support services with respect to
certain Schroders strategies that are offered through separately-managed account or unified

managed account platforms. HFMC is entitled to receive 15 basis points on total new assets
invested in the Schroders International EAFE ADR Strategy as measured at the end of each
quarter. In addition, HFMC is entitled to receive an annual fee of 8 basis points on certain
“aged assets” that remain invested for more than one year calculated as 2 basis points on the
amount of aged assets at quarter end and will be paid within 30 days of the end of each
calendar quarter. For all other Schroders’ strategies, HFMC is entitled to receive 35% of the
total management fee received by Schroders.
