Is your investing plan in line with your goals?
Recent market activity is prompting investors to look more closely at their investment portfolios. And in many cases they're finding that their asset allocation, or the distribution between stocks, bonds and cash, is no longer in line with their investment goals. Unknowingly, these investors may be exposing themselves to more risk than they are comfortable with.

They're also learning that investing isn't a one-time undertaking. In fact, it's just as important to maintain the appropriate balance between equity and fixed income holdings as markets move. This helps to reduce a portfolio's volatility and can help manage the extremes of bull and bear markets.

Getting the balance right
Through rebalancing investors can get their portfolio's asset allocation back to an acceptable level of risk. But, managing investments takes a lot of time, knowledge and expertise. That's why many investors are turning to portfolio solutions. They offer a simple way to ensure their holdings always maintain the right balance. With their built-in rebalancing, you can be confident that no matter the market conditions, your portfolio will align with your risk tolerance, time horizon and financial goals.

What is a portfolio solution?
A portfolio solution offers investors a professionally built portfolio of diverse holdings in one investment. They're available to meet the needs of various investor profiles so that you can choose the one that is best suited to your goals. And they're overseen by a professional money manager who constantly monitors and rebalances the portfolio so that it maintains the proper mix of assets no matter what the market conditions.

But, not all portfolio solutions are created equal. With Hartford Portfolios, you can be assured that you're getting a portfolio solution the way it was intended to be: simple, sensible and smart.
