Hartford Investments announced it has reopened Hartford Canadian Dividend Growth Fund to new investment, effective as of November 2, 2009. The fund, which is sub-advised by Regina-based Greystone Managed Investments, was capped to new investment in May, 2008.

Hartford Canadian Dividend Growth Fund was capped based on capacity constraints related to how Greystone manages the portfolio. As the fund is a concentrated portfolio of 25 Canadian dividend-paying companies, Greystone believes its ability to move in and out of positions in a timely manner is critical to the fund's performance. For that reason, the capacity of the fund's mandate is continually monitored by Greystone to ensure the integrity of its investment process and protect long-term performance of the fund.

Greystone has assessed liquidity and trading volumes in securities held in the fund, as well as volumes of potential positions, and determined that opening the fund to new investment at this time is appropriate.

Once opened, Hartford Canadian Dividend Growth Fund will be available in Series A (front end load), Series B (back end and low load) and Series F (fee-based) versions.
