                           INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
                             POLICIES OF THE FUNDS
 
    The Funds have  different investment objectives  and policies, as  described
below.  The  differences  in objectives  and  policies  among the  Funds  can be
expected to  affect  the return  of  each Fund  and  the degree  of  market  and
financial  risk to which  each Fund is  subject. For more  information about the
investment strategies employed by the Funds, see "Common Investment Policies and
Risk Factors." The investment objective of  each Fund is fundamental and  cannot
be  changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities  of  the  particular  Fund.  All  other  policies  not   specifically
designated  as fundamental are nonfundamental and may be changed by the Board of
Directors of the particular  Fund. See the  Statement of Additional  Information
for a complete listing of investment restrictions.
   
                    HARTFORD CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, INC.
    
 
    Hartford  Capital Appreciation Fund, Inc.  (the "Capital Appreciation Fund")
was incorporated in 1983 under Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The Capital  Appreciation  Fund  seeks  to  achieve  growth  of  capital  by
investing  in securities selected  solely on the basis  of potential for capital
appreciation; income, if any, is an incidental consideration.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The Capital Appreciation Fund  seeks to achieve  its objective by  investing
primarily   in  equity   securities  and  securities   convertible  into  equity
securities. The Sub-Adviser identifies, through fundamental analysis,  companies
that  it  believes  have substantial  near-term  capital  appreciation potential
regardless of  company  size or  industry  sector. This  approach  is  sometimes
referred  to as  a "stock  picking" approach  and results  in having  all market
capitalization sectors (i.e., small, medium, and large companies) represented in
the portfolio. Small and medium companies are selected primarily on the basis of
dynamic earnings growth potential. Larger companies are selected primarily based
on  the  expectation  for  a  catalyst  event  that  will  trigger  stock  price
appreciation.  Fundamental analysis involves the assessment of a company through
such factors  as its  business environment,  management, balance  sheet,  income
statement, anticipated earnings, revenues, dividends, and other related measures
of value.
 
    The  Capital Appreciation Fund will invest primarily in securities issued by
U.S. companies but may also invest  in securities issued by non-U.S.  companies,
including  those  traded  in U.S.  markets  and non-U.S.  markets.  Under normal
circumstances, securities  of non-U.S.  companies  will not  exceed 20%  of  the
Capital  Appreciation  Fund's  total  assets.  The  Capital  Appreciation Fund's
investments in securities of non-U.S. companies may include ADRs and GDRs.  When
selecting securities of non-U.S. issuers, the Sub-Adviser also will evaluate the
economic  and  political climate  and the  principal  securities markets  of the
country in which  an issuer is  located. The Capital  Appreciation Fund will  be
subject  to certain risks as a result of its ability to invest in the securities
of non-U.S. companies. See "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
 
    From time  to  time,  the  Capital Appreciation  Fund  may  invest  in  debt
securities.   The  non-convertible   debt  securities   in  which   the  Capital
Appreciation Fund may invest  include debt securities  assigned within the  four
highest  bond rating  categories by Moody's  or S&P, i.e.,  investment grade, or
considered to be  of comparable  quality as  determined by  the Sub-Adviser.  In
addition,  the Capital Appreciation Fund may invest  up to 5% of total assets in
high yield debt securities, commonly known as "junk bonds." Such securities  are
rated as low as "C" by Moody's and S&P, or if unrated, are of comparable quality
as  determined  by the  Sub-Adviser. See  "Common  Investment Policies  and Risk
Factors."
 
    Although the  Capital Appreciation  Fund  intends to  be fully  invested  in
equity  and debt securities, it may hold cash or cash equivalents and may invest
any portion or all of its assets in high quality money market instruments in the
following circumstances:  (1)  during  periods when  the  Sub-Adviser  deems  it
necessary  for temporary defensive purposes; (2) to meet liquidity needs; or (3)
in anticipation of investment of its assets.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    The Capital Appreciation Fund may  invest up to 10%  of its total assets  in
illiquid  securities  and  may  from  time  to  time  purchase  securities  on a
when-issued or delayed  delivery basis.  In addition,  the Capital  Appreciation
Fund  may invest to a limited extent in other investment companies and may enter
into certain currency transactions. Finally,  the Capital Appreciation Fund  may
invest  in  options, futures,  and options  on  futures. See  "Common Investment
Policies and Risk Factors."
                    HARTFORD DIVIDEND AND GROWTH FUND, INC.
 
    Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc. (the "Dividend and Growth Fund") was
incorporated in 1993 under Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The Dividend and Growth Fund seeks to achieve a high level of current income
consistent with growth of capital and reasonable investment risk.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The Dividend and  Growth Fund seeks  to achieve its  objective by  investing
primarily in equity securities and securities convertible into equity securities
that  typically have above average income  yield and whose prospects for capital
appreciation are considered favorable by  the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser  uses
fundamental analysis to evaluate a security for purchase or sale by the Dividend
and  Growth  Fund. Fundamental  analysis involves  the  assessment of  a company
through such factors  as its  business environment,  management, balance  sheet,
income  statement, anticipated earnings, revenues,  dividends, and other related
measures of value. As a key component  of the fundamental analysis done for  the
Dividend  and  Growth Fund,  the Sub-Adviser  evaluates  a company's  ability to
sustain and potentially increase  its dividend. The  Dividend and Growth  Fund's
portfolio will be broadly diversified by industry and company; the Fund seeks to
diversify  its investments over a carefully selected list of securities in order
to moderate the risks inherent in equity investments.
 
    The Dividend and Growth Fund will  invest primarily in securities issued  by
U.S.  companies but may also invest  in securities issued by non-U.S. companies,
including those  traded  in U.S.  markets  and non-U.S.  markets.  Under  normal
circumstances,  securities  of non-U.S.  companies will  not  exceed 20%  of the
Dividend and  Growth  Fund's  total  assets.  The  Dividend  and  Growth  Fund's
investments  in securities of non-U.S. companies may include ADRs and GDRs. When
selecting securities of non-U.S. issuers, the Sub-Adviser also will evaluate the
economic and  political climate  and  the principal  securities markets  of  the
country  in which  an issuer is  located. The  Dividend and Growth  Fund will be
subject to certain risks as a result of its ability to invest in the  securities
of non-U.S. companies. See "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
 
    From  time  to  time,  the  Dividend and  Growth  Fund  may  invest  in debt
securities. The non-convertible debt securities in which the Dividend and Growth
Fund may invest include  debt securities assigned within  the four highest  bond
rating categories by Moody's or S&P, i.e., investment grade, or considered to be
of comparable quality as determined by the Sub-Adviser.
 
    Although the Dividend and Growth Fund intends to be fully invested in equity
and  debt securities, it  may hold cash  or cash equivalents  and may invest any
portion or all of  its assets in  high quality money  market instruments in  the
following  circumstances:  (1)  during  periods when  the  Sub-Adviser  deems it
necessary for temporary defensive purposes; (2) to meet liquidity needs; or  (3)
in anticipation of investment of its assets.
 
    The  Dividend and Growth  Fund may invest up  to 15% of  its total assets in
illiquid securities  and  may  from  time  to  time  purchase  securities  on  a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis. In addition, the Dividend and Growth Fund
may  invest to a limited extent in  other investment companies and may engage in
certain currency transactions. Finally, the Dividend and Growth Fund may  invest
in options, futures, and options on futures. See "Common Investment Policies and
Risk Factors."
                           HARTFORD INDEX FUND, INC.
 
    Hartford  Index Fund, Inc. (the "Index Fund") was incorporated in 1983 under
Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The Index Fund  seeks to  provide investment results  which approximate  the
price and yield performance of publicly-traded common stocks in the aggregate.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The  Index Fund uses the  Standard & Poor's 500  Composite Stock Price Index
(the "Index") as  its standard  performance comparison because  it represents  a
significant  proportion of the total market value  of all common stocks, is well
known to investors and, in the opinion  of the management of the Index Fund,  is
representative  of the performance of  publicly-traded common stocks. Therefore,
the Index  Fund attempts  to approximate  the capital  performance and  dividend
income of the Index.
 
    The  Index  Fund will  generally invest  in  no fewer  than 475  stocks. The
Adviser will select  stocks for  the Index  Fund's portfolio  after taking  into
account their individual weights in the Index. Temporary cash balances, normally
not  expected to exceed  2% of the Index  Fund's net assets,  may be invested in
short-term money market instruments. The Index Fund may invest in ADRs and GDRs.
The Index  Fund may  also  from time  to time  enter  into stock  index  futures
contracts  and options on such futures contracts to maintain optimal exposure to
the Index and to hedge

HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS                                                         17

against changes in  security prices.  See "Common Investment  Policies and  Risk
Factors."
 
   
    The  Index is  composed of  500 selected  common stocks,  most of  which are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange. S&P chooses the stocks to be included  in
the  Index on  a proprietary basis.  The weightings  of stocks in  the Index are
based on each stock's relative total market value, that is, its market price per
share times the number of shares  outstanding. Because of this weighting, as  of
December  31, 1995, approximately fifty percent of the Index was composed of the
fifty-nine largest companies, the five largest being General Electric Co.,  AT&T
Corp., Exxon Corp., Coca-Cola Company and Merck and Co.
    
 
    No attempt is made to "manage" the Index Fund's portfolio in the traditional
sense,  using  economic, financial  and market  analysis,  nor will  the adverse
financial situation of  a company directly  result in its  elimination from  the
Index Fund's portfolio unless, of course, the company is removed from the Index.
From  time to time  administrative adjustments may  be made in  the Index Fund's
portfolio because  of mergers,  changes  in the  composition  of the  Index  and
similar reasons.
 
    The  Index Fund's management believes that the "indexing" approach described
above is an effective method of substantially duplicating percentage changes  in
the  Index.  It is  a reasonable  expectation that  the correlation  between the
performance of the Index Fund  (before expenses) and that  of the Index will  be
above  98%; a figure of 100% would  indicate perfect correlation. The Index Fund
is regularly monitored to determine if  it is meeting its targeted  performance.
In  the  event of  any  deviation from  the  targeted performance,  the security
holdings of the Index Fund are rebalanced to better replicate the index. At some
time in the future,  the Board of  Directors of the Index  Fund may, subject  to
shareholder  approval, select another index if  such a standard of comparison is
deemed to be more representative of the performance of common stocks.
 
    The Index Fund's ability  to approximate the performance  of the Index  will
depend  to some extent on the size of cash flows into and out of the Index Fund.
Investment changes to accommodate these cash flows will be made to maintain  the
similarity  of  the  Index  Fund's  portfolio  to  the  Index,  to  the  maximum
practicable extent.

                                   FUND, INC.
 
    Hartford  International   Opportunities  Fund,   Inc.  (the   "International
Opportunities Fund") was incorporated in 1990 under Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The  International Opportunities Fund seeks  to achieve long-term total rate
of return consistent with prudent  investment risk through investment  primarily
in equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The  International  Opportunities  Fund  seeks  to  achieve  its  investment
objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of primarily equity securities
which covers  a  broad  range  of  countries,  industries,  and  companies.  The
International   Opportunities  Fund   anticipates  that,   under  normal  market
conditions, it will diversify its investments among a minimum of five countries;
the Fund  will not  invest more  than 20%  of its  net assets  in securities  of
issuers  located in any one country, except that  it may invest up to 35% of its
net assets  in  securities  of issuers  located  in  any one  of  the  following

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    Securities  in  which  the  International  Opportunities  Fund  invests  are
denominated in both U.S. dollars and non-U.S. currencies (including the European
Currency Unit) and generally are traded on non-U.S. markets.
 
    Under  normal  market  conditions,  at   least  70%  of  the   International
Opportunities  Fund's total assets will be  invested in equity securities issued
by  non-U.S.   companies.  Equity   securities   in  which   the   International
Opportunities  Fund invests include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible
securities,  and  warrants   and  rights   to  acquire   such  securities.   The
International  Opportunities  Fund  may invest  in  ADRs and  GDRs.  See "Common
Investment Policies and Risk  Factors." Equity investments  are selected on  the
basis  of fundamental  analysis to  identify those  markets and  securities that
provide  capital  appreciation  potential.  Fundamental  analysis  involves  the
assessment  of  a  company through  such  factors as  its  business environment,
management, balance  sheet, income  statement, anticipated  earnings,  revenues,
dividends  and  other  related measures  of  value. In  analyzing  companies for
investment, the  Sub-Adviser looks  for, among  other things,  a strong  balance
sheet,   attractive  industry  dynamics,   strong  competitive  advantages,  and
attractive relative value  within the  context of a  security's primary  trading
market.  In addition  to fundamental analysis  of companies  and industries, the
Sub-Adviser evaluates the economic and  political environments of the  countries
in  which  the securities  are  traded. The  International  Opportunities Fund's
investments in  debt  securities  will  be substantially  similar  to  the  debt
securities  investments  permitted  for  the  International  Advisers  Fund. See
"Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc. -- Investment Policies."
 
    Although the International Opportunities Fund  intends to be fully  invested
in  equity and  debt securities,  it may  hold cash  and cash  equivalents (U.S.
dollars, non-U.S. currencies, multinational currency  units) and may invest  any
portion  or all of its assets in  high quality money market instruments of U.S.,
non-U.S., or supranational  issuers in the  following circumstances: (1)  during
periods  when  the  Sub-Adviser  deems  it  necessary  for  temporary  defensive
purposes; (2) to meet liquidity needs;  or (3) in anticipation of investment  of
its  assets. The International  Opportunities Fund may  invest in non-U.S. money
market funds and commingled pools offered by non-U.S. banks.
 
    The International Opportunities Fund will be  subject to certain risks as  a
result  of its ability  to invest in  the securities of  non-U.S. companies. The
International Opportunities Fund is permitted to  invest up to 15% of its  total
assets in illiquid securities and may from time to time purchase securities on a
when-   issued  or  delayed  delivery  basis.  In  addition,  the  International
Opportunities Fund may invest to a limited extent in other investment  companies
and  enter  into  certain  currency  transactions.  Finally,  the  International
Opportunities Fund is  permitted to invest  in options, futures  and options  on
futures. See "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
                           HARTFORD STOCK FUND, INC.
 
    Hartford  Stock Fund, Inc. (the "Stock Fund") was incorporated in 1976 under
Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The Stock Fund seeks to  achieve long-term capital growth primarily  through
capital  appreciation, with  income a  secondary consideration,  by investing in
primarily equity securities.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The Stock Fund  seeks to  achieve its  objective by  investing primarily  in
equity  securities and  securities convertible  into equity  securities, using a
two-tiered investment approach. First, under what is sometimes referred to as  a
"top  down" approach, the Sub-Adviser analyzes the macro economic and investment
environment. This includes an evaluation of economic conditions, U.S. fiscal and
monetary policy, demographic  trends, and investor  sentiment. Through top  down
analysis,   the  Sub-Adviser  anticipates  secular   and  cyclical  changes  and
identifies industries and economic sectors that are expected to grow faster than
the overall economy.
 
    Second, top down analysis is followed by what is sometimes referred to as  a
"bottom  up"  approach, which  is the  use of  fundamental analysis  to identify
specific securities for purchase or sale. The Stock Fund's portfolio  emphasizes
high-quality  growth companies.  The key characteristics  of high-quality growth
companies include a  leadership position  within an industry,  a strong  balance
sheet,  a high return  on equity, sustainable or  increasing dividends, a strong
management team,  and  a  globally competitive  position.  Fundamental  analysis
involves  the  assessment of  a  company through  such  factors as  its business
environment, management, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated  earnings,
revenues, dividends, and other related measures of value.
 
    The  Stock Fund will invest primarily in securities issued by U.S. companies
but may also invest in securities issued by non-U.S. companies, including  those
traded  in  U.S.  markets  and  non-U.S.  markets.  Under  normal circumstances,
securities of non-U.S. companies will not  exceed 20% of the Stock Fund's  total
assets.  The Stock  Fund's investments in  securities of  non-U.S. companies may
include ADRs and GDRs. When selecting  securities of non-U.S. issuers, the  Sub-
Adviser  also will evaluate the economic and political climate and the principal
securities markets of the country in which an issuer is located. The Stock  Fund
will  be subject to  certain risks as a  result of its ability  to invest in the
securities of  non-U.S.  companies. See  "Common  Investment Policies  and  Risk
Factors."  From time to time, the Stock  Fund may invest in debt securities. The
non-convertible debt securities in

which the Stock Fund may invest include debt securities assigned within the four
highest bond rating  categories by Moody's  or S&P, i.e.,  investment grade,  or
considered to be of comparable quality as determined by the Sub-Adviser.
 
    Although  the Stock  Fund intends to  be fully invested  primarily in equity
securities and securities convertible into equity securities it may hold cash or
cash equivalents and may invest any portion or all of its assets in high quality
money market instruments in the following circumstances: (1) during periods when
the Sub-Adviser deems it necessary for temporary defensive purposes; (2) to meet
liquidity needs; or (3) in anticipation of investment of its assets.
 
    The Stock  Fund  may invest  up  to 10%  of  its total  assets  in  illiquid
securities  and may from  time to time  purchase securities on  a when-issued or
delayed delivery basis.  In addition,  the Stock Fund  may invest  to a  limited
extent  in  other  investment  companies and  may  enter  into  certain currency
transactions. Finally, the Stock Fund may invest in options, futures and options
on futures. See "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
                          HARTFORD ADVISERS FUND, INC.
 
    Hartford Advisers Fund, Inc. (the "Advisers Fund") was incorporated in  1982
under Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The  Advisers Fund seeks  to achieve maximum long-term  total rate of return
consistent with prudent investment risk by  investing in common stock and  other
equity   securities,  bonds  and   other  debt  securities,   and  money  market
instruments.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The Advisers  Fund  seeks  to  achieve  its  objective  through  the  active
allocation  of  its  assets  among  the  asset  categories  of  equity  and debt
securities and money market instruments,  based upon the Sub-Adviser's  judgment
of   the  projected  investment  environment   for  financial  assets,  relative
fundamental values  and  attractiveness of  each  asset category,  and  expected
future  returns  of each  asset category.  The Sub-Adviser  will base  its asset
allocation decisions on fundamental analysis and will not attempt to make short-
term market timing  decisions among  asset categories.  As a  result, shifts  in
asset allocation are expected to be gradual and continuous and the Advisers Fund
will  normally have some portion of its  assets invested in each asset category.
The Advisers Fund does not have  percentage limitations on the amount  allocated
to each asset category.
 
    The Advisers Fund's investments in equity securities and securities that are
convertible  into  equity  securities  will  be  substantially  similar  to  the
investments permitted for  the Stock  Fund. See  "Hartford Stock  Fund, Inc.  --
Investment Policies." The Advisers Fund's investments in debt securities will be
substantially  similar  to  the investments  permitted  for the  Bond  Fund. See
"Hartford Bond Fund, Inc. -- Investment Policies." In the event a security owned
by the Advisers Fund is downgraded to a rating category below investment  grade,
the  Advisers Fund generally will sell  it within a reasonable period thereafter
based on the Sub-Adviser's outlook for the issuer and the security.
 
    The Advisers  Fund  will  invest  primarily in  securities  issued  by  U.S.
companies  but  may  also invest  in  securities issued  by  non-U.S. companies,
including those  traded  in U.S.  markets  and non-U.S.  markets.  Under  normal
circumstances,  securities  of non-U.S.  companies will  not  exceed 20%  of the
Advisers Fund's total assets. The  Advisers Fund's investments in securities  of
non-U.S.  companies may include ADRs and GDRs. When selecting securities of non-
U.S. issuers,  the Sub-Adviser  also will  evaluate the  economic and  political
climate  and the principal securities markets of  the country in which an issuer
is located. The Advisers Fund  will be subject to certain  risks as a result  of
its  ability  to invest  in the  securities of  non-U.S. companies.  See "Common
Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
 
    The Advisers Fund  may hold  cash and cash  equivalents and  may invest  any
portion  or all of  its assets in  high quality money  market instruments in the
following circumstances:  (1)  when  the Sub-Adviser  expects  returns  on  such
instruments  to  be  attractive  relative  to  investments  in  equity  and debt
securities; (2)  during periods  when  the Sub-Adviser  deems it  necessary  for
temporary   defensive  purposes;  (3)  to  meet   liquidity  needs;  or  (4)  in
anticipation of investment of its assets.
 
    The Advisers Fund  may invest  up to  10% of  its total  assets in  illiquid
securities  and may from  time to time  purchase securities on  a when-issued or
delayed delivery basis. In addition, the  Advisers Fund may invest to a  limited
extent   in  other  investment   companies  and  enter   into  certain  currency
transactions. Finally, the  Advisers Fund  may invest in  options, futures,  and
options on futures. See "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."

projected investment  environment  for financial  assets,  relative  fundamental
values and attractiveness of each asset category, and expected future returns of
each asset category. The Sub-Adviser will base its asset allocation decisions on
fundamental  analysis and will  not attempt to  make short-term timing decisions
among asset categories. As a result, shifts in asset allocation are expected  to
be gradual and continuous and the International Advisers Fund will normally have
some  portion of its  assets invested in  each asset category  at all times. The
International Advisers Fund does not  have percentage limitations on the  amount
allocated to each asset category.
 
    The  International Advisers Fund will consist  of a diversified portfolio of
securities covering a broad range  of countries, industries, and companies.  The
International Advisers Fund anticipates that, under normal market conditions, it
will  diversify its investments among a minimum of five countries; the Fund will
not invest more than 20% of its  net assets in securities of issuers located  in
any  one country,  except that  it may  invest up  to 35%  of its  net assets in
securities of issuers located in any one of the following countries:  Australia,
Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom or Germany.
 
    Securities  in which the International Advisers Fund invests are denominated
in both U.S. dollars  and non-U.S. currencies  (including the European  Currency
Unit) and generally are traded on non-U.S. markets.
 
    The  International Advisers Fund's investments  in equity securities will be
substantially similar to  the equity  securities investments  permitted for  the
International  Opportunities  Fund.  See  "Hartford  International Opportunities
Fund, Inc. -- Investment Policies."
 
    The International Advisers  Fund's investments in  debt securities  include,
but  are not limited  to: (1) debt  securities issued or  guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies  or instrumentalities; (2)  debt obligations issued  or
guaranteed  by  a  non-U.S.  sovereign  government or  one  of  its  agencies or
political subdivisions, including Brady  Bonds (see "Common Investment  Policies
and  Risk Factors"); (3) debt obligations  issued or guaranteed by supranational
organizations such as the World Bank; (4) debt obligations of non-U.S. banks and
bank holding  companies;  (5)  non-U.S.  corporate  debt  securities;  (6)  debt
obligations  of U.S. banks and corporations;  (7) non-U.S. commercial paper; (8)
asset-backed securities and mortgage-related  securities, including CMOs;  these
debt  securities  will be  rated  investment grade  by  Moody's or  S&P,  or, if
unrated, will be determined by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality  (see
"Common  Investment Policies and  Risk Factors"); and  (9) repurchase agreements
involving any of the foregoing. The International Advisers Fund's investments in
debt securities will be based  on an analysis of  such factors as yield,  credit
quality,  economic policies, inflation rates, and the pace of economic growth in
various markets.
 
    Debt securities in which the International Advisers Fund may invest  include
investment  grade,  non-convertible  debt securities  assigned  within  the four
highest bond rating  categories by  Moody's or S&P,  or, if  unrated, which  are
determined  by the  Sub-Adviser to  be of  comparable quality.  In addition, the
International Advisers Fund may  invest up to  15% of its  total assets in  high
yield debt securities, commonly known as "junk bonds." Such securities are rated
as  low as "C" by Moody's and by  S&P, or, if unrated, are of comparable quality
as determined  by the  Sub-Adviser.  See "Common  Investment Policies  and  Risk
Factors."
 
    The  International Advisers  Fund may hold  cash and  cash equivalents (U.S.
dollars, non-U.S. currencies, multinational currency  units) and may invest  any
portion  or  all  of  its  assets  in  high  quality  money  market instruments,
including, but not limited to,  instruments of U.S., non-U.S., or  supranational
issuers.  These money market instruments may  also include non-U.S. money market
funds and commingled pools offered by non-U.S. banks. The International Advisers
Fund may  invest in  high  quality money  market  instruments in  the  following
circumstances:  (1) when the Sub-Adviser expects  returns on such instruments to
be attractive relative to investments in equity and debt securities; (2)  during
periods  when  the  Sub-Adviser  deems  it  necessary  for  temporary  defensive
purposes; (3) to meet liquidity needs;  or (4) in anticipation of investment  of
its assets.
 
    The International Advisers Fund will be subject to certain risks as a result

securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or other issuers and  rated
investment  grade by Moody's or S&P, or if unrated, determined by the Adviser to
be of  comparable quality;  (iii) asset-backed  securities and  mortgage-related
securities,  including CMOs, which are rated investment grade by Moody's or S&P,
or, if unrated, which are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable  quality
(see  "Common Investment Policies and Risk  Factors"); (iv) securities issued or
guaranteed as to principal or interest by  a sovereign government or one of  its
agencies  or political subdivisions, supranational  entities such as development
banks, non-U.S. corporations, banks or bank holding companies, or other non-U.S.
issuers and rated investment grade by Moody's or S&P, or, if unrated, which  are
determined  by the  Adviser to  be of comparable  quality. Bonds  and other debt
securities owned by the Bond  Fund will be denominated  in U.S. dollars. In  the
event a security owned by the Bond Fund is downgraded to a rating category below
investment  grade,  the Bond  Fund generally  will sell  it within  a reasonable
period thereafter  based  on  the  Adviser's outlook  for  the  issuer  and  the
security.
 
    The  Bond Fund will invest primarily  in securities issued by U.S. companies
but may also invest in securities issued by non-U.S. companies, including  those
traded  in  U.S.  markets  and  non-U.S.  markets.  Under  normal circumstances,
securities of non-U.S. companies  will not exceed 20%  of the Bond Fund's  total
assets.  The Bond  Fund's investments  in securities  of non-U.S.  companies may
include ADRs  and  GDRs. When  selecting  securities of  non-U.S.  issuers,  the
Adviser also will evaluate the economic and political climate, and the principal
securities  markets of the country in which  an issuer is located. The Bond Fund
will be subject to  certain risks as a  result of its ability  to invest in  the
securities  of  non-U.S. companies.  See  "Common Investment  Policies  and Risk
Factors."
 
    The Bond Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in bonds and debt
securities with a maturity of at least one year. The Bond Fund may invest up  to
15%  of  its  total  assets in  preferred  stocks,  convertible  securities, and
securities carrying warrants to purchase  equity securities. The Bond Fund  will
not  invest in common stocks directly, but may retain, for reasonable periods of
time, common stocks acquired upon conversion of debt securities or upon exercise
of warrants acquired with debt securities.
 
    Although the  Bond Fund  intends to  be fully  invested in  equity and  debt
securities,  it may hold cash or cash  equivalents and may invest any portion or
all of its  assets in  high quality money  market instruments  in the  following
circumstances:  (1)  during  periods when  the  Adviser deems  it  necessary for
temporary  defensive  purposes;  (2)  to   meet  liquidity  needs;  or  (3)   in
anticipation of investment of its assets.
 
    The  Bond  Fund  may  invest up  to  10%  of its  total  assets  in illiquid
securities and may  from time to  time purchase securities  on a when-issued  or
delayed  delivery basis.  In addition,  the Bond  Fund may  invest to  a limited
extent in other investment companies.
                    HARTFORD MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND, INC.
 
    Hartford Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. (the "Mortgage Securities Fund") was
incorporated in 1984 under Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The Mortgage Securities  Fund seeks maximum  current income consistent  with
safety  of  principal and  maintenance of  liquidity  by investing  primarily in
mortgage-related securities,  including  securities  issued  by  the  Government
National Mortgage Association.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The  Mortgage Securities Fund  seeks to achieve  its objective by investing,
under normal circumstances,  at least 65%  of its total  assets in high  quality
mortgage-related  securities  either  (i) issued  by  U.S.  Government agencies,
instrumentalities or sponsored corporations or (ii) rated A or better by Moody's
or S&P  or,  if  not  rated,  which are  of  equivalent  investment  quality  as
determined  by the Adviser. At times the  Mortgage Securities Fund may invest in
mortgage-related  securities  not  meeting  the  foregoing  investment   quality
standards  when the  Adviser deems  such investments  to be  consistent with the
Fund's investment objective; however, no such investments will be made in excess
of 20%  of the  value  of the  Fund's total  assets.  Such investments  will  be
considered  mortgage-related securities for purposes of the policy that the Fund
invest at  least  65% of  the  value of  its  total assets  in  mortgage-related
securities,  including  securities issued  by the  GNMA. See  "Common Investment
Policies and Risk Factors".
 
    Consistent with  its objective,  the Mortgage  Securities Fund  may seek  to
increase  its current return by writing covered call or covered put options with
respect to some or  all of the  securities held in  its portfolio. In  addition,
through  the  writing and  purchase  of options  and  the purchase  and  sale of
interest rate futures  contracts and  related options,  the Mortgage  Securities
Fund  may at  times seek to  reduce fluctuations  in net asset  value by hedging
against a decline in the value of securities owned by the Fund or an increase in
the price  of  securities  which  the  Fund  plans  to  purchase.  The  Mortgage
Securities  Fund  may also  invest up  to 10%  of its  total assets  in illiquid
securities, purchase asset-backed securities, and enter into swap  transactions.
See "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
 
    Although  the Mortgage Securities Fund intends  to be fully invested in debt
securities, it may hold cash or cash  equivalents and invest any portion or  all
of its assets in high

quality  money  market instruments  in the  following circumstances:  (1) during
periods  when  the  Sub-Adviser  deems  it  necessary  for  temporary  defensive
purposes;  (2) to meet liquidity needs; or  (3) in anticipation of investment of
its assets.
                HARTFORD U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
 
    Hartford U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Inc. (the "U.S. Government Money
Market Fund") was incorporated in 1982 under Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The U.S.  Government Money  Market  Fund seeks  to achieve  maximum  current
income consistent with preservation of capital.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The  U.S. Government Money Market Fund's  portfolio will consist entirely of
cash and investments  permitted by Rule  2a-7 under  the 1940 Act.  Each has  an
effective  maturity date of 397  days or less, computed  in accordance with Rule
2a-7, from date  of purchase. The  average maturity of  the portfolio will  vary
according  to the  Adviser's appraisal of  money market conditions  and will not
exceed 90 days.
    The U.S. Government  Money Market  Fund seeks  to achieve  its objective  by
investing in short-term, marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government  or by agencies or instrumentalities  of the U.S. Government, whether
or not they are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
                          HVA MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
 
    HVA Money Market Fund,  Inc. (the "Money Market  Fund") was incorporated  in
1982 under Maryland law.
 
    INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.
 
    The  Money Market  Fund seeks to  achieve maximum  current income consistent
with liquidity and preservation of capital.
 
    INVESTMENT POLICIES.
 
    The Money  Market  Fund's  portfolio  will  consist  entirely  of  cash  and
investments  permitted under Rule  2a-7 of the  1940 Act. Each  has an effective
maturity date of 397  days or less  computed in accordance  with Rule 2a-7.  The
average maturity of the portfolio will vary according to the Adviser's appraisal
of money market conditions and will not exceed 90 days.
 
    The  Money Market Fund seeks to achieve  its objective by investing in money
market securities such  as, but not  limited to: (a)  banker's acceptances;  (b)
obligations  of governments  (whether U.S. or  non-U.S.) and  their agencies and
instrumentalities; (c)  short-term corporate  obligations, including  commercial
paper,  notes, and bonds; (d) other short-term debt obligations; (e) obligations
of U.S. banks, non-U.S. branches of U.S. banks (Eurodollars), U.S. branches  and
agencies  of non-U.S. banks (Yankee dollars),  and non-U.S. branches of non-U.S.
banks; and (f) asset-backed securities. See "Common Investment Policies and Risk
Factors." Under normal circumstances, foreign securities will not exceed 25%  of
the Money Market Fund's total assets.
 
    The   Money  Market  Fund  will  make  portfolio  investments  primarily  in
anticipation of or in response to changing economic and money market  conditions
and  trends. However, it is anticipated that  from time to time the Money Market
Fund will take  advantage of  temporary disparities in  the yield  relationships
among the different segments of the money market or among particular instruments
within  the same  segment of the  market, to  make purchases and  sales when the
Adviser deems that  such transactions will  improve the yield  or return of  the
portfolio.
                  COMMON INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
                             REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
   
    The  Funds may enter  into repurchase agreements  with respect to securities
issued or guaranteed  by the  U.S. Government,  with commercial  banks having  a
minimum  capital base of $500 million and assets in excess of $1 billion or with
recognized government securities dealers with a minimum net capital base of $100
million.  The  Funds'  Boards  of  Directors  have  established  standards   for
evaluation  of the  creditworthiness of  the banks  and securities  dealers with
which the Funds will engage in repurchase agreements and monitors on a quarterly
basis the Adviser's and Sub-Adviser's compliance with such standards.
    
 
    A repurchase agreement  is an agreement  by which the  seller of a  security
agrees to repurchase the security sold at a mutually agreed upon time and price.
It  may also be viewed as the loan of  money by a Fund to the seller. The resale
price normally is  in excess of  the purchase price,  reflecting an agreed  upon
market  rate. The rate is effective for the period of time a Fund is invested in
the agreement and is not related to the coupon rate on the underlying  security.
The  period of these repurchase agreements will usually be short, from overnight
to one week, and at  no time will a Fund  invest in repurchase agreements for  a
period  of more than  one year. The  securities which are  subject to repurchase
agreements, however, may  have maturity  dates in excess  of one  year from  the
effective  date  of the  repurchase  agreement. A  Fund  will always  receive as
collateral securities whose market value, including accrued interest, will be at
least  equal   to   100%   of   the   dollar   amount   invested   by   a   Fund

in  each agreement, and a  Fund will make payment  for such securities only upon
physical delivery or evidence of book entry transfer. If the seller defaults,  a
Fund  might incur a loss if the  value of the collateral securing the repurchase
agreement  declines  and  may  incur   disposition  costs  in  connection   with
liquidating  the collateral.  A Fund may  not enter into  a repurchase agreement
with more than  seven days to  maturity if, as  a result, more  than 10% of  the
Fund's  total assets  would be invested  in such  repurchase agreements together
with any other investment for which market quotations are not readily available.
                              ILLIQUID SECURITIES
 
   
    Each Fund,  except  the Index  Fund,  is  permitted to  invest  in  illiquid
securities.  No illiquid securities  will be acquired if  upon the purchase more
than 10% or 15% of the value of a Fund's total assets, varying by Fund (15%  for
the  Dividend  and Growth  Fund, International  Advisers Fund  and International
Opportunities Fund, 10% for the  Advisers Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund,  Bond
Fund,  Mortgage Securities Fund,  Stock Fund, U.S.  Government Money Market Fund
and  Money  Market  Fund  ),  would  consist  of  these  securities.   "Illiquid
securities"  are securities that may not be  sold or disposed of in the ordinary
course of  business  within  seven  days at  approximately  the  price  used  to
determine a Fund's net asset value.
    
 
    Under  current interpretations of the SEC Staff, the following securities in
which a Fund may invest will  be considered illiquid: (1) repurchase  agreements
maturing  in more than seven days; (2) certain restricted securities (securities
whose public  resale  is subject  to  legal or  contractual  restrictions);  (3)
options,  with  respect  to  specific  securities,  not  traded  on  a  national
securities  exchange  that  are  not  readily  marketable;  and  (4)  any  other
securities in which a Fund may invest that are not readily marketable.
    These   Funds  may  purchase  without  limit,  however,  certain  restricted
securities  that  can  be  resold  to  qualifying  institutions  pursuant  to  a
regulatory   exemption  under  Rule   144A  under  the   1933  Act  ("Rule  144A
securities"). If a dealer or institutional  trading market exists for Rule  144A
securities,  such securities are deemed to be  liquid and thus treated as exempt
from a Fund's 10%  or 15% limitation on  the investment in illiquid  securities.
Under  the supervision  of the  Board of  Directors, the  Adviser or Sub-Adviser
determines the liquidity of Rule 144A  securities and, through reports from  the
Adviser  or Sub-Adviser,  the Board  of Directors  monitors trading  activity in
these securities. In  reaching liquidity decisions,  the Adviser or  Sub-Adviser
will  consider, among other things, the  following factors: (1) the frequency of
trades and price quotes for the security;  (2) the number of dealers willing  to
purchase  or sell the security and the number of other potential purchasers; (3)
dealer undertakings to make a market in the security; and (4) the nature of  the
security  and the marketplace  trades (e.g., the  time needed to  dispose of the
security, the method  of soliciting  offers, and the  procedures for  transfer).
Because  institutional trading in Rule 144A  securities is relatively new, it is
difficult to predict accurately how these markets will develop. If institutional
trading in Rule 144A securities declines, a Fund's liquidity could be  adversely
affected to the extent that a Fund is invested in such securities.
                  WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY SECURITIES
 
   
    The   Capital  Appreciation  Fund,   the  Dividend  and   Growth  Fund,  the
International Opportunities Fund, the Stock  Fund, the Index Fund, the  Advisers
Fund, the International Advisers Fund, the Bond Fund and the Mortgage Securities
Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis.
When-issued or delayed-delivery transactions arise when securities are purchased
or  sold with payment and delivery taking place in the future in order to secure
what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering
into the transaction. While these Funds generally purchase securities on a when-
issued or delayed-delivery basis with the intention of acquiring the securities,
the Funds may sell the securities before the settlement date, if the Adviser  or
Sub-Adviser  deems it  advisable. At  the time  a Fund  makes the  commitment to
purchase securities on a  when-issued or delayed-delivery  basis, the Fund  will
record  the  transaction and  thereafter reflect  the value,  each day,  of such
security in determining the net asset value of the Fund. At the time of delivery
of the securities, the value  may be more or less  than the purchase price.  The
Funds'  custodian will maintain, in a segregated account of the Fund, cash, U.S.
Government securities  or other  liquid, high-grade  debt obligations  having  a
value  equal to or  greater than the Fund's  purchase commitments; the custodian
will likewise segregate securities sold on a delayed-delivery basis.
    
                           OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES
 
    The  Capital  Appreciation   Fund,  the  Dividend   and  Growth  Fund,   the
International  Opportunities Fund, the  Bond Fund, the  Stock Fund, the Advisers
Fund, and  the International  Advisers Fund  are permitted  to invest  in  other
investment  companies.  Securities  issued in  certain  countries  are currently
accessible to the Funds only through  such investments. The investment in  other
investment  companies is limited in amount by the 1940 Act, and will involve the
indirect payment of a portion of the expenses, including advisory fees, of  such
other  investment companies. No Fund may acquire more than 3% of the outstanding
voting securities of  any other investment  company, and no  Fund may have  more
than  5%  of its  total assets  invested  in any  other investment  company. See
"Investment  Restrictions  of  the  Funds"   in  the  Statement  of   Additional
Information.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                             CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
 
    The   Capital  Appreciation  Fund,   the  Dividend  and   Growth  Fund,  the
International Opportunities  Fund, the  Stock Fund,  the Advisers  Fund and  the
International  Advisers Fund  may engage in  currency transactions  to hedge the
value of  portfolio  securities  denominated in  particular  currencies  against
fluctuations  in relative value. Currency  transactions include forward currency
contracts,  exchange-listed  and   over-the-counter  ("OTC")  currency   futures
contracts  and options thereon,  exchange listed and  OTC options on currencies,
and currency swaps.
 
    These Funds  may  invest in  forward  currency contracts,  which  involve  a
privately  negotiated obligation  to purchase or  sell a specific  currency at a
future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract
agreed upon by  the parties,  at a price  set at  the time of  the contract.  In
addition,  these Funds  may engage  in currency  swaps, which  are agreements to
exchange cash  flows  based  on  the  notional  difference  among  two  or  more
currencies.   See   "Swap  Agreements."   These   Funds  also   may   engage  in
exchange-listed and  OTC currency  futures contracts  and options  thereon,  and
exchange  listed  and  OTC  options  on  currencies.  See  "Options  and Futures
Contracts."
 
    These Funds  may cross-hedge  currencies by  entering into  transactions  to
purchase or sell one or more currencies that are expected to increase or decline
in  value relative to other currencies to which  the Funds have, or in which the
Funds expect to have, exposure. To reduce the effect of currency fluctuation  on
the  value of existing or anticipated  holdings of their securities, these Funds
may also engage in  proxy hedging. Proxy  hedging is used  when the currency  to
which  a  portfolio  holding  is  exposed is  difficult  to  hedge  generally or
difficult to hedge against the U.S. dollar. Proxy hedging entails entering  into
a  forward contract to buy  U.S. dollars and to sell  a currency, the changes in
the value of  which generally are  considered to  be linked to  the currency  to
which  the portfolio holding  is exposed. The  amount of the  contract would not
exceed the  market value  of the  Fund's securities  denominated in  the  linked
currency.
 
    The  use of currency  transactions to protect  the value of  a Fund's assets
against a decline in the value of a currency does not eliminate fluctuations  in
the  value of the  Fund's underlying securities. Further,  these Funds may enter
into currency transactions only with  counterparties that the Sub-Adviser  deems
to be creditworthy.
                         OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS
 
    In seeking to protect against the effect of changes in equity market values,
currency  exchange rates or  interest rates that  are adverse to  the present or
prospective position of the  Funds, for cash flow  management, and, to a  lesser
extent,  to enhance  returns, the  Capital Appreciation  Fund, the  Dividend and
Growth Fund, the  Index Fund,  the International Opportunities  Fund, the  Stock
Fund,  the Advisers Fund, the International Advisers Fund, the Bond Fund and the
Mortgage Securities Fund may employ certain hedging, income enhancement and risk
management techniques, including the purchase  and sale of options, futures  and
options  on futures involving equity and debt securities and foreign currencies,
aggregates of equity and debt securities,  indices of prices of equity and  debt
securities,  and other  financial indices. A  Fund's ability to  engage in these
practices  may  be  limited  by  tax  considerations  and  certain  other  legal
considerations.
 
    These  Funds may write covered call  options or purchase covered put options
on portfolio  securities  as a  partial  hedge (to  the  extent of  the  premium
received  less transaction  costs) against a  decline in the  value of portfolio
securities and  in  circumstances  in  which  the  Adviser  or  the  Sub-Adviser
anticipates  that the price of the underlying securities will not increase above
the exercise price of the option by an amount greater than the premium  received
(less  transaction costs incurred)  by the Fund.  This strategy limits potential
capital appreciation in  the portfolio  securities subject  to the  put or  call
option.
 
    These Funds may also write covered put and call options and purchase put and
call options on foreign currencies to hedge against the risk of foreign exchange
fluctuations on foreign securities the particular Fund holds in its portfolio or
that  it intends to purchase.  For example, if a Fund  enters into a contract to
purchase securities  denominated  in  foreign  currency,  it  could  effectively
establish  the maximum  U.S. dollar  cost of  the securities  by purchasing call
options  on  that  foreign  currency.  Similarly,  if  a  Fund  held  securities
denominated in a foreign currency and anticipated a decline in the value of that
currency against the U.S. dollar, the Fund could hedge against such a decline by
purchasing a put option on the foreign currency involved.
 
    In addition, these Funds may purchase put and call options and write covered
put  and call options  on aggregates of  equity and debt  securities, indices of
prices of equity and debt securities and other financial indices, and may  enter
into  futures  contracts  and  options  thereon  for  the  purchase  or  sale of
aggregates of equity and debt securities, indices of equity and debt  securities
and other financial indices, all for the purpose of protecting against potential
changes  in  the market  value  of portfolio  securities  or in  interest rates.
Aggregates are composites of equity  or debt securities that  are not tied to  a
commonly  known  index.  An index  is  a measure  of  the  value of  a  group of
securities  or  other  interests.  An  index  assigns  relative  values  to  the
securities  included in that index, and the index fluctuates with changes in the
market value of those securities.

HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS                                                         25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    These Funds may write covered options only. "Covered" means that, so long as
a  Fund is  obligated as the  writer of  a call option,  it will  own either the
underlying securities or currency or an  option to purchase the same  underlying
securities or currency having an expiration date not earlier than the expiration
date  of the  covered option  and an exercise  price equal  to or  less than the
exercise price of  the covered option,  or will establish  or maintain with  its
custodian  for the term of  the option a segregated  account consisting of cash,
U.S. Government securities or other liquid, high grade debt obligations having a
value equal  to the  fluctuating  market value  of  the optioned  securities  or
currencies.  A  Fund  will cover  any  put  option it  writes  by  maintaining a
segregated account with its custodian as described above. A Fund will not  write
covered  call options on portfolio securities  representing more than 25% of the
value of its total assets.
 
    To hedge against fluctuations  in currency exchange  rates, these Funds  may
purchase  or sell  foreign currency  futures contracts,  and write  put and call
options and  purchase  put and  call  options  on such  futures  contracts.  For
example, a Fund may use foreign currency futures contracts when it anticipates a
general  weakening of  the foreign currency  exchange rate  that could adversely
affect the market  values of  the Fund's  foreign securities  holdings. In  this
case,  the sale of futures  contracts on the underlying  currency may reduce the
risk of the  Fund of  a reduction  in market  value caused  by foreign  currency
variations  and,  by so  doing,  provide an  alternative  to the  liquidation of
securities positions in the Fund and resulting transaction costs. When the  Fund
anticipates  a  significant foreign  exchange rate  increase while  intending to
invest in a non-U.S. security, the Fund may purchase a foreign currency  futures
contract to hedge against a rise in foreign exchange rates pending completion of
the  anticipated transaction. Such a purchase  of a futures contract would serve
as a temporary  measure to  protect the  Fund against  any rise  in the  foreign
exchange  rate that may add additional  costs to acquiring the non-U.S. security
position. The  Fund similarly  may  use futures  contracts  on equity  and  debt
securities  to hedge against fluctuations in the  value of securities it owns or
expects to acquire.
 
    These Funds  also may  purchase  call or  put  options on  foreign  currency
futures  contracts to obtain  a fixed foreign  exchange rate at  limited risk. A
Fund may purchase a call option on a foreign currency futures contract to  hedge
against  a rise  in the  foreign exchange  rate while  intending to  invest in a
non-U.S. security  of the  same currency.  A Fund  may purchase  put options  on
foreign  currency futures  contracts to hedge  against a decline  in the foreign
exchange rate or  the value  of its non-U.S.  portfolio securities.  A Fund  may
write  a call option on  a foreign currency futures  contract as a partial hedge
against the effects of declining foreign exchange rates on the value of non-U.S.
securities and in circumstances in which  the Fund anticipates that the  foreign
exchange  rate will not  increase above the  exercise price of  the option by an
amount greater than the premium received (less transaction costs incurred by the
Fund). This strategy will limit potential capital appreciation in the underlying
currency.
 
    To the extent that a Fund enters into futures contracts, options on  futures
contracts  and  options on  foreign currencies  that are  traded on  an exchange
regulated by the CFTC, in each case that are not for BONA FIDE hedging  purposes
(as  defined by the CFTC), the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to
establish those positions  may not  exceed 5% of  the liquidation  value of  the
Fund's   portfolio,  after  taking  into  account  the  unrealized  profits  and
unrealized losses on any such contracts the Fund has entered into. However,  the
"in-the-money" amount of such options may be excluded in computing the 5% limit.
Adoption of this guideline will not limit the percentage of the Fund's assets at
risk to 5%.
 
    Although any one Fund may not employ all or any of the foregoing strategies,
its  use of options, futures and  options thereon and forward currency contracts
(as described under  "Currency Transactions") would  involve certain  investment
risks  and  transaction  costs  to  which it  might  not  be  subject  were such
strategies not employed. Such risks include: (1) dependence on a Fund's  ability
to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in the
general  securities markets or  market sections and  movements in interest rates
and currency markets; (2) imperfect  correlation between movements in the  price
of  the securities  or currencies hedged  or used  for cover; (3)  the fact that
skills and techniques  needed to  trade options, futures  contracts and  options
thereon  or to use forward currency contracts are different from those needed to
select the securities  in which a  Fund invests;  (4) lack of  assurance that  a
liquid  secondary market will exist for any particular option, futures contract,
option thereon or forward  contract at any particular  time, which may affect  a
Fund's ability to establish or close out a position; (5) possible impediments to
effective portfolio management or the ability to meet current obligations caused
by  the  segregation of  a  large percentage  of a  Fund's  assets to  cover its
obligations; and (6)  the possible need  to defer closing  out certain  options,
futures contracts, options thereon and forward contracts in order to continue to
qualify   for  the  beneficial  tax  treatment  afforded  "regulated  investment
companies" under the Code. In the event that the anticipated change in the price
of the securities or currencies that are the subject of such a strategy does not
occur, it may be  that a Fund would  have been in a  better position had it  not
used such a strategy at all.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                              NON-U.S. SECURITIES,
                            INCLUDING ADRS AND GDRS
 
    Each Fund, except the Mortgage Securities Fund and the U.S. Government Money
Market  Fund,  is  permitted to  invest  a  portion of  its  assets  in non-U.S.
securities, including, in  the case  of permitted equity  investments, ADRs  and
GDRs, as described under each Fund's investment objective and policies. ADRs are
certificates  issued by a U.S. bank or  trust company and represent the right to
receive securities of a non-U.S. issuer deposited in a domestic bank or non-U.S.
branch of a U.S. bank. ADRs are traded  on a U.S. securities exchange, or in  an
over-the-counter   market,  and  are  denominated  in  U.S.  dollars.  GDRs  are
certificates issued globally and evidence a similar ownership arrangement.  GDRs
are  traded on  non-U.S. securities  exchanges and  are denominated  in non-U.S.
currencies. The value of an  ADR or a GDR will  fluctuate with the value of  the
underlying  security, will reflect  any changes in  exchange rates and otherwise
will involve risks associated with investing in non-U.S. securities.
 
    The International Opportunities Fund and the International Advisers Fund are
permitted to invest in Brady Bonds,  which are debt securities issued under  the
framework  of the  Brady Plan, an  initiative announced by  former U.S. Treasury
Secretary Nicholas  F.  Brady in  1989  as a  mechanism  for debtor  nations  to
restructure  their outstanding  external commercial bank  debt. In restructuring
its external debt  under the Brady  Plan framework, a  debtor nation  negotiates
with  its existing bank lenders as well as multilateral institutions such as the
World Bank  and  the  IMF.  The  Brady Plan  framework,  as  it  has  developed,
contemplates the exchange of commercial bank debt for newly issued bonds ("Brady
Bonds").  Brady Bonds may also be issued  in respect of new money being advanced
by  existing  lenders   in  connection  with   debt  restructuring.   Agreements
implemented  under  the Brady  Plan to  date  are designed  to achieve  debt and
debt-service reduction through  specific options negotiated  by a debtor  nation
with  its creditors. As a result, the financial packages offered by each country
differ. Brady Bonds issued to  date may be purchased  and sold in the  secondary
markets through U.S. securities dealers and other financial institutions and are
generally  maintained through  European securities depositories.  See also "High
Yield Securities."
 
    Investing in securities issued by non-U.S. companies involves considerations
and potential  risks  not typically  associated  with investing  in  obligations
issued  by  U.S. companies.  Less information  may  be available  about non-U.S.
companies than about  U.S. companies  and non-U.S. companies  generally are  not
subject  to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or to
other regulatory practices  and requirements comparable  to those applicable  to
U.S.  companies. The values  of non-U.S. investments are  affected by changes in
currency rates or exchange control  regulations, restrictions or prohibition  on
the  repatriation  of non-U.S.  currencies,  application of  non-U.S.  tax laws,
including withholding taxes, changes in governmental administration or  economic
or monetary policy (in the U.S. or outside the U.S.) or changed circumstances in
dealings between nations. Costs are also incurred in connection with conversions
between various currencies.
 
    Investing  in non-U.S. sovereign  debt will expose  a Fund to  the direct or
indirect consequences of political, social or economic changes in the developing
and emerging countries that issue the securities. The ability and willingness of
sovereign obligors  in developing  and emerging  countries or  the  governmental
authorities  that control repayment of their  external debt to pay principal and
interest on such  debt when  due may depend  on general  economic and  political
conditions  within the  relevant country. Countries  such as those  in which the
Funds may invest have historically experienced, and may continue to  experience,
high  rates of inflation, high interest  rates, exchange rate trade difficulties
and unemployment. Some of  these countries are  also characterized by  political
uncertainty  or instability. Additional factors  which may influence the ability
or willingness to service debt include, but are not limited to, a country's cash
flow situation, the availability  of sufficient foreign exchange  on the date  a
payment is due, the relative size of its debt service burden to the economy as a
whole,  and its government's  policy towards the  IMF, the World  Bank and other
international agencies.
                          MORTGAGE-RELATED SECURITIES
 
    The mortgage-related  securities in  which the  International  Opportunities
Fund,  International Advisers Fund, Advisers Fund  and Bond Fund may invest, and
the Mortgage Securities  Fund principally  invests, provide  funds for  mortgage
loans  made to residential home buyers. These include securities which represent
interests in pools of mortgage  loans made by lenders  such as savings and  loan
institutions,  mortgage bankers, commercial banks  and others. Pools of mortgage
loans are  assembled  for sale  to  investors (such  as  the Funds)  by  various
governmental, government-related and private organizations. These Funds may also
invest   in  similar   mortgage-related  securities  which   provide  funds  for
multi-family residences or commercial real estate properties. CMOs will also  be
considered mortgage-related securities.
 
    Interests in pools of mortgage-related securities differ from other forms of
debt  securities, which  normally provide  for periodic  payment of  interest in
fixed amounts  with principal  payments  at maturity  or specified  call  dates.
Instead,  these  securities provide  a monthly  payment  which consists  of both
interest and principal payments. In effect, these payments are a  "pass-through"
of  the  monthly payments  made by  the individual  borrowers on  their mortgage
loans,
<PAGE>
HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS                                                         27

net of any  fees paid  to the  issuer, servicer,  insurer or  guarantor of  such
securities.  Additional payments are caused by repayments of principal resulting
from the sale  of the underlying  property, refinancing or  foreclosure, net  of
fees  or costs which may be  incurred. Some mortgage-related securities (such as
GNMA securities)  are described  as  "modified pass-through."  These  securities
entitle  the holder to receive  all interest and principal  payments owed on the
mortgage pool, net of certain fees,  regardless of whether or not the  mortgagor
actually makes the payment.
 
    The principal governmental (i.e., backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government) guarantor of mortgage-related securities is the GNMA. GNMA is a
wholly-owned  United  States  Government corporation  within  the  Department of
Housing and Urban Development.  GNMA is authorized to  guarantee, with the  full
faith  and credit of  the U.S. Government,  the timely payment  of principal and
interest on securities known as Ginnie  Maes issued by institutions approved  by
GNMA  (such  as savings  and loan  institutions,  commercial banks  and mortgage
bankers) and backed by pools of FHA-insured or VA-guaranteed mortgages.
 
    Government-related (i.e., not  backed by the  full faith and  credit of  the
U.S.  Government)  guarantors  include  the  FNMA  and  the  FHLMC.  FNMA  is  a
government-sponsored corporation owned entirely  by private stockholders. It  is
subject to general regulation by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
FNMA  purchases residential mortgages  from a list  of approved seller/servicers
which include  state  and  federally-chartered savings  and  loan  associations,
mutual  savings banks, commercial banks and  credit unions and mortgage bankers.
Pass-through securities known as Fannie Maes issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to
timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA but are not backed by the  full
faith and credit of the U.S. Government. FHLMC is a corporate instrumentality of
the  U.S. Government created by  Congress in 1970 for  the purpose of increasing
the availability of mortgage credit for residential housing. Its stock is  owned
by  the twelve Federal Home Loan  Banks. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates
("PCs") known  as  Freddy  Macs  which represent  interests  in  mortgages  from
portfolios created by FHLMC. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and
ultimate  collection of principal but  PCs are not backed  by the full faith and
credit of the United States Government.
 
    Commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage  insurance
companies, investment banks, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers
also  create pass-through pools of conventional residential mortgage loans. Such
issuers may in addition be the  originators of the underlying mortgage loans  as
well as the guarantors of the mortgage-related securities. Pools created by such
non-governmental  issuers  generally  offer  a  higher  rate  of  interest  than
government and government-related pools because there are no direct or  indirect
government  guarantees of payments in the  former pools. However, timely payment
of interest  and principal  in these  pools  is supported  by various  forms  of
insurance  or  guarantees, including  individual  loan, title,  pool  and hazard
insurance. The  insurance  and guarantees  are  issued by  government  entities,
private insurers and the mortgage poolers. Such insurance and guarantees and the
credit  worthiness  of the  issuers thereof  will  be considered  in determining
whether a mortgage-related security meets a Fund's investment quality standards.
There can be no assurance that  the private insurers can meet their  obligations
under  the  policies. These  Funds may  buy mortgage-related  securities without
insurance or guarantees  if through an  examination of the  loan experience  and
practices  of  the  poolers  the  Adviser  or  Sub-Adviser  determines  that the
securities meet  the Fund's  quality  standards. Although  the market  for  such
securities is becoming increasingly liquid, securities issued by certain private
organizations may not be readily marketable.
 
    These  Funds  may invest  in CMOs,  which  are securities  collateralized by
mortgages or  mortgage-backed securities.  CMOs  are issued  with a  variety  of
classes or series, which have different maturities.
 
    These Funds expect that governmental, government-related or private entities
may  create mortgage loan pools offering pass-through investments in addition to
those  described  above.  The  mortgages  underlying  these  securities  may  be
alternative  mortgage instruments, that is, mortgage instruments whose principal
or interest  payments  may vary  or  whose terms  to  maturity may  differ  from
customary  long-term fixed  rate mortgages. These  Funds may  invest in stripped
mortgage-backed securities, which  security is separated  into the interest  and
principal  component  of a  mortgage backed  security and  are sold  as separate
securities. As  new  types  of mortgage-related  securities  are  developed  and
offered  to investors, the Adviser or Sub-Adviser will, consistent with a Fund's
investment  objective,   policies  and   quality  standards,   consider   making
investments in such new types of securities.
                            ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
 
    The  International Opportunities Fund, the  International Advisers Fund, the
Advisers Fund, the Bond Fund, the Mortgage Securities Fund, and the Money Market
Fund may invest in asset-backed  securities. The securitization techniques  used
for  asset-backed  securities are  similar  to those  used  for mortgage-related
securities. The collateral for these securities has included home equity  loans,
automobile  and credit card  receivables, boat loans,  computer leases, airplane
leases, mobile  home  loans, recreational  vehicle  loans and  hospital  account
receivables.  These Funds  may invest in  these and other  types of asset-backed
securities that may be developed in the future.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                SWAP AGREEMENTS
 
    Each Fund, except the Index Fund, the U.S. Government Money Market Fund  and
the  Money Market Fund, may enter into  interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and
other types of swap agreements such as  caps, collars, and floors. In a  typical
interest  rate  swap, one  party  agrees to  make  regular payments  equal  to a
floating interest rate multiplied  by a "notional  principal amount," in  return
for  payments  equal  to a  fixed  rate multiplied  by  the same  amount,  for a
specified period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different
currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as
well. Swaps may also depend  on other prices or rates,  such as the value of  an
index or mortgage prepayment rates.
 
    In  a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only
under specified circumstances,  usually in return  for payment of  a fee by  the
other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to
receive  payments  to  the extent  that  a  specified interest  rate  exceeds an
agreed-upon level, while the  seller of an interest  rate floor is obligated  to
make  payments  to the  extent that  a  specified interest  rate falls  below an
agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and
selling a floor.
 
    Swap agreements will  tend to shift  a Fund's investment  exposure from  one
type  of  investment to  another.  For example,  if  a Fund  agreed  to exchange
floating rate payments for fixed rate payments, the swap agreement would tend to
decrease the Fund's exposure to rising  interest rates. Caps and floors have  an
effect  similar to buying  or writing options.  Depending on how  they are used,
swap agreements may  increase or  decrease the  overall volatility  of a  Fund's
investments and its share price and yield.
                            MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS
 
    The  Funds may invest  in high quality  money market instruments, including,
but not limited to:  (1) securities issued or  guaranteed by governments,  their
agencies  or  instrumentalities;  (2)  commercial  paper;  (3)  certificates  of
deposit; (4) bankers' acceptances and other bank obligations; and (5) repurchase
agreements involving any of the foregoing. The U.S. Government Money Market Fund
may only invest in high quality  money market instruments, issued or  guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
                          INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES
 
    The  U.S.  Government  Money  Market  Fund and  the  Money  Market  Fund are
permitted to invest only  in high-quality short-term  instruments as defined  by
Rule  2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Each of the other Funds is permitted to invest in
investment grade securities (i.e., rated as low  as "Baa" by Moody's and as  low
as  "BBB" by S&P, and unrated securities  of comparable quality as determined by
the Adviser or Sub-Adviser). Debt securities carrying the fourth highest  rating
(i.e.,  "Baa" by Moody's and "BBB" by  S&P, and unrated securities of comparable
quality as determined by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser) are viewed to have adequate
capacity for payment of principal and  interest, but do involve a higher  degree
of  risk than that associated with investments  in debt securities in the higher
rating categories and such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and
do have speculative characteristics.
                             HIGH YIELD SECURITIES
 
    To  the  extent  described  in   their  investment  policies,  the   Capital
Appreciation  Fund, the  International Opportunities Fund  and the International
Advisers Fund are permitted to invest  in high yield securities, commonly  known
as  "junk bonds" (i.e., rated as  low as "C" by Moody's  and by S&P, and unrated
securities of comparable quality as  determined by the Sub-Adviser).  Securities
in  the  rating  categories  below  Baa as  determined  by  Moody's  and  BBB as
determined by  S&P are  considered  to be  of  poor standing  and  predominantly
speculative. The rating services' descriptions of securities in the lower rating
categories,  including their speculative  characteristics, are set  forth in the
Appendix to this Prospectus. These  securities are considered to have  extremely
poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing, to have a current
identifiable  vulnerability to default,  to be unlikely to  have the capacity to
pay interest and  repay principal  when due in  the event  of adverse  business,
financial  or economic conditions, and/or to be in default or not current in the
payment of interest  or principal. These  securities are considered  speculative
with  respect to the  issuer's capacity to  pay interest and  repay principal in
accordance with the terms of the  obligations. Accordingly, it is possible  that
these  types  of  factors  could,  in certain  instances,  reduce  the  value of
securities held by a Fund with a commensurate effect on the value of the  Fund's
shares.
                               OTHER RISK FACTORS
 
    As mutual funds that primarily invest in equity and/or debt securities, each
Fund  is subject to market  risk, i.e., the possibility  that equity and/or debt
prices in general will decline over short or even extended periods of time.  The
financial  markets  tend  to  be cyclical,  with  periods  when  security prices
generally rise and periods when security prices generally decline.
 
    The value of  the debt securities  in which  the Funds invest  will tend  to
increase when interest rates are falling and to decrease when interest rates are
rising.
 
    No  Fund should be considered to be  a complete investment program in and of
itself. Each prospective purchaser

should take into account his or her own investment objectives as well as his  or
her  other investments when considering the purchase of shares of any investment
company.
 
    There can be no assurance that  the investment objectives of the Funds  will
be  met. In addition, the  risk inherent in investing in  the Funds is common to
any security -- the  net asset value  will fluctuate in  response to changes  in
economic   conditions,  interest  rates  and  the  market's  perception  of  the
underlying portfolio securities of each Fund.
 
    HIMCO, as  Adviser to  certain Funds,  and WMC,  as Sub-Adviser  to  certain
Funds,  attempt,  in  pursuit  of  a  Fund's  investment  objective,  to  select
appropriate individual  securities  for  inclusion in  a  Fund's  portfolio.  In
addition,  HIMCO  and WMC  attempt to  successfully  forecast market  trends and
increase investments in the types of securities best suited to take advantage of
such trends. Thus, the  investor is dependent on  HIMCO's and WMC's success  not
only  in  selecting individual  securities, but  also in  identifying attractive
asset classes to determine the total mix of invested assets.
                            MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
 
    Each Fund's Board of Directors manages the business and affairs of that Fund
and takes action on all matters not reserved for the shareholders, including the
annual election of officers of the Fund who carry out all orders and resolutions
of the Board of  Directors and carry  out functions relating to  the day to  day
management of the affairs of the Fund.
                  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES
 
   
    HIMCO  serves  as investment  adviser or  manager to  each Fund  pursuant to

mailed to each  Fund's shareholders  as well as  all quarterly,  annual and  any
other  periodic report required to be filed with  the SEC or with any state; any
notices required  by a  federal or  state regulatory  authority, and  any  proxy

                        PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
 
    The Funds may advertise certain performance related information. Performance
information  about a Fund is based on the Fund's past performance only and is no
indication of future performance.
 
    Each Fund may  include its  total return  in advertisements  or other  sales
material. When a Fund advertises its total return, it will usually be calculated
for  one year, five years,  and ten years or some  other relevant periods if the
Fund has not been in existence for at least ten years. Total return is  measured
by  comparing the  value of an  investment in the  Fund at the  beginning of the
relevant period  to  the value  of  the investment  at  the end  of  the  period
(assuming   immediate   reinvestment   of  any   dividends   or   capital  gains
distributions).
 
    The U.S.  Government  Money  Market  Fund and  the  Money  Market  Fund  may
advertise  yield and effective yield. The yield  of each of those Funds is based
upon the income earned by the Fund over a seven-day period and then  annualized,
i.e.  the income earned in  the period is assumed to  be earned every seven days
over a 52-week period  and stated as a  percentage of the investment.  Effective
yield  is calculated  similarly but  when annualized,  the income  earned by the
investment is assumed to be reinvested in Fund shares and thus compounded in the
course of a 52-week period.
                                   DIVIDENDS
 
    The shareholders of each Fund shall be entitled to receive such dividends as
may be declared by each Fund's Board of Directors, from time to time based  upon
the  investment performance of  the assets making up  that Fund's portfolio. The
policy with respect to each Fund,  except the U.S. Government Money Market  Fund
and  the  Money Market  Fund, is  to  pay dividends  from net  investment income
monthly and to make distributions of  realized capital gains, if any, once  each
year.  The U.S. Government Money  Market Fund and the  Money Market Fund declare
dividends on a daily basis and pay them monthly.
 
    Such  dividends  and  distributions   will  be  automatically  invested   in
additional  full or fractional shares  monthly on the last  business day of each
month at the per share net asset value  on that date. Provision is also made  to
pay  such dividends and  distributions in cash if  requested. Such dividends and
distributions will be in cash or in full or fractional shares of the Fund at net
asset value.
                                NET ASSET VALUE
 
    The net asset value of each Fund's shares will be determined as of the close
of business (currently 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open  for
trading.  Orders for the purchase of a Fund's shares received prior to the close
of the NYSE on any day on which the Fund is open for business will be priced  at
the  per-share net asset  value determined as  of the close  of the NYSE. Orders
received after the close of the NYSE or on a day on which the NYSE or a Fund are
not open for  business will  be priced  at the  per-share net  asset value  next
determined.  The  per-share net  asset value  of  the shares  each Fund  will be
determined by dividing the value of the Fund's assets, less the liabilities,  by
the number of outstanding shares issued by the Fund.
 
    Equity securities are valued at the last sales price as of the time when the
valuation  is being made. If no sales took place  on such day and in the case of
certain equity  securities traded  over-the-counter,  then such  securities  are
valued  at the mean between the bid and the asked prices. Debt securities (other
than short-term obligations) including mortgage-backed securities, are valued on
the basis  of valuations  furnished  by an  unaffiliated pricing  service  which
determines  valuations  for  normal  institutional size  trading  units  of debt
securities. Short-term investments with a

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
maturity of 60  days or less  when purchased  are valued at  cost plus  interest
earned (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term investments
with  a maturity of more than 60 days  when purchased are valued based on market
quotations until the remaining days to  maturity become less than 61 days.  From
such  time, until maturity,  the investments are valued  at amortized cost using
the value of  the investment on  the 61st day.  Options are valued  at the  last
sales  price; if no sale took place on  such day, then options are valued at the
mean between the bid and asked prices.
 
    Assets for which market quotations are  not readily available are valued  at
fair  value as determined  in good faith by  or under the  direction of a Fund's
Board of Directors.
                            PURCHASE OF FUND SHARES
 
    Fund shares  are  made  available  to serve  as  the  underlying  investment
vehicles  for variable annuity and variable  life insurance separate accounts of
ITT Hartford Life Insurance Companies. Shares of the Funds are sold on a no-load
basis at their net asset values. See "Net Asset Value" and "Sale and  Redemption
of Shares."
 
    It  is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate  accounts  and variable  life  insurance separate  accounts  to
invest  in  the  Funds  simultaneously.  Although  ITT  Hartford  Life Insurance
Companies and the Funds do not  currently foresee any such disadvantages  either
to  variable annuity contract  owners or variable  life insurance policy owners,
each Fund's Board of  Directors intends to monitor  events in order to  identify
any  material conflicts  between such contract  owners and policy  owners and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken in response thereto. If the Board
of Directors  of  a  Fund  were  to  conclude  that  separate  funds  should  be
established  for  variable  life  and variable  annuity  separate  accounts, the
variable life and variable annuity contract holders would not bear any  expenses
attendant to the establishment of such separate funds.
                              SALE AND REDEMPTION
                                   OF SHARES
    The shares of each Fund are sold and redeemed by the Fund at their net asset
value  next determined after receipt  of a purchase or  redemption order in good
order in writing  at its home  office, P.O. Box  2999, Hartford, CT  06104-2999.
Hartford  Equity  Sales  Company,  Inc., Hartford,  Connecticut,  is  the Fund's
principal underwriter. The  value of shares  redeemed may be  more or less  than
original  cost, depending upon  the market value of  the portfolio securities at
the time of redemption.  Payment for shares redeemed  will be made within  seven
days  after the  redemption request  is received  in proper  form by  the Funds.
However, the right to  redeem Fund shares may  be suspended or payment  therefor
postponed  for any period  during which: (1)  trading on the  NYSE is closed for
other than weekends and holidays; (2) an emergency exists, as determined by  the
SEC,  as a result of which  (a) disposal by a Fund  of securities owned by it is
not reasonably practicable, or (b) it  is not reasonably practicable for a  Fund
to  determine fairly the  value of its  net assets; or  (3) the SEC  by order so
permits for the protection of stockholders of the Funds.
                              FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
    Each Fund has elected and intends to qualify under Part I of Subchapter M of
the Code. Each Fund  intends to distribute  all of its net  income and gains  to
shareholders. Such distributions are taxable income and capital gains. Each Fund
will inform shareholders of the amount and nature of such income and gains. Each
Fund  may be subject to a  4% nondeductible excise tax as  well as an income tax
measured with respect  to certain  undistributed amounts of  income and  capital
gain.  Each Fund expects to make such additional distributions of net investment
income as  are  necessary  to  avoid  the application  of  these  taxes.  For  a
discussion of the tax implications of a purchase or sale of the Funds' shares by
the  insurer,  reference should  be made  to the  section entitled  "Federal Tax
Considerations" in the appropriate separate account prospectus.
 
    If eligible,  each  Fund  may  make  an election  to  pass  through  to  its
shareholders,  ITT Hartford Life  Insurance Companies, a  credit for any foreign
taxes paid during the year.  If such election is  made, the pass-through of  the
foreign  tax credit will result  in additional taxable income  and income tax to
ITT Hartford Life Insurance Companies. The amount of additional tax may be  more
than  offset by the foreign tax credits  which are passed through. These foreign
tax credits may provide a benefit to ITT Hartford Life Insurance Companies.

                                    APPENDIX
 
    The rating  information  which follows  describes  how the  rating  services
mentioned  presently rate the described securities. No reliance is made upon the
rating firms  as "experts"  as that  term is  defined for  securities  purposes.
Rather,  reliance on  this information  is on the  basis that  such ratings have
become generally accepted in the investment business.
                                RATING OF BONDS
 
    Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
 
    Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.  They
carry  the smallest degree of  investment risk and are  generally referred to as
"gilt edge." Interest payments are protected  by a large or by an  exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely  to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
 
    Aa -- Bonds  which are  rated Aa are  judged to  be of high  quality by  all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high  grade bonds. They are  rated lower than the  best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective
elements may be  of greater  amplitude or there  may be  other elements  present
which make the long term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
 
    A  -- Bonds which  are rated A possess  many favorable investment attributes
and are  to be  considered as  upper medium  grade obligations.  Factors  giving
security  to principal and interest are  considered adequate but elements may be
present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
 
    Baa -- Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations,
i.e., they are neither  highly protected nor  poorly secured. Interest  payments
and  principal security appear  adequate for the  present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may  be characteristically unreliable over any  great
length  of time. Such  bonds lack outstanding  investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.
 
    Ba --- Bonds  which are rated  Ba are judged  to have speculative  elements;
their  future  cannot be  considered as  well assured.  Often the  protection of
interest and  principal payments  may  be very  moderate  and thereby  not  well
safeguarded  during  both good  and bad  times over  the future.  Uncertainty of
position characterizes bonds in this class.
 
    B -- Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest  and principal payments  or of maintenance  of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
 
    Caa -- Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in
default  or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.
 
    Ca -- Bonds which are rated  Ca represent obligations which are  speculative
in  a  high  degree. Such  issues  are often  in  default or  have  other marked
shortcomings.
 
    C -- Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and  issues
so  rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever earning any
real investment standing.
 
    Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's").
 
    AAA -- Bonds rated  AAA are the highest  grade obligations. Capacity to  pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
 
    AA  -- Bonds rated AA have a very  strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differ from AAA issues only in small degree.
 
    A -- Bonds rated  A have a  very strong capacity to  pay interest and  repay
principal  although  they  are  somewhat more  susceptible  to  the considerable
investment strength but are not entirely free from adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in the highest rated categories.
 
    BBB -- Bonds rated BBB  and regarded as having  an adequate capacity to  pay
interest  and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters, adverse  economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are  more
likely  to lead to a  weakened capacity to pay  interest and repay principal for
debt in this category then in higher rated categories.
 
    BB, B, CCC,  CC, C  -- Debt  rated BB, B,  CCC, CC,  and C  is regarded,  on
balance,  as predominantly speculative with respect  to the issuer's capacity to
pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation.
While such debt will  likely have some  quality and protective  characteristics,
these  are outweighed by large uncertainties  or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                           RATING OF COMMERCIAL PAPER
 
    Purchases of  corporate  debt  securities used  for  short-term  investment,
generally  called commercial  paper, will  be limited to  the top  two grades of
Moody's, Standard & Poor's, Duff &  Phelps, Fitch Investor Services and  Thomson
Bank   Watch  or   other  NRSROs   (nationally  recognized   statistical  rating
organizations) rating services and will be an eligible security under Rule 2a-7.
 
    MOODY'S
 
    Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related  supporting institutions) have a  superior
capacity  for repayment of short-term  promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:
 
    - Leading market positions in well-established industries.
 
    - High rates of return on funds employed.
 
    - Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt  and
      ample asset protection.
 
    - Broad  margins in  earnings coverage of  fixed financial  charges and high
      internal cash generation.
 
    - Well-established access  to  a  range of  financial  markets  and  assured
      sources of alternate liquidity.
 
    Issuers  rated Prime-2  (or related  supporting institutions)  have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will  normally
be  evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends  and coverage  ratios,  while sound,  will  be more  subject  to
variation.  Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
 
    Issuers  rated  Prime-3  (or   related  supporting  institutions)  have   an
acceptable  capacity  for repayment  of  short-term promissory  obligations. The
effect  of  industry  characteristics  and   market  composition  may  be   more
pronounced.  Variability in earnings and profitability  may result in changes in
the level of  debt protection  measurements and the  requirement for  relatively
high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
 
    Issuers  rated  Not  Prime  do  not fall  within  any  of  the  Prime rating
categories.
 
    STANDARD & POOR'S
 
    The relative  strength  or  weakness of  the  following  factors  determines
whether the issuer's commercial paper is rated A-1 or A-2.
 
    - Liquidity ratios are adequate to meet cash requirements.
 
    Liquidity  ratios  are basically  as  follows, broken  down  by the  type of
issuer:
 
    Industrial Company:  acid test  ratio, cash  flow as  a percent  of  current
liabilities,  short-term debt  as a  percent of  current liabilities, short-term
debt as a percent of current assets.
 
    Utility: current  liabilities as  a  percent of  revenues,  cash flow  as  a
percent of current liabilities, short-term debt as a percent of capitalization.
 
    Finance  Company: current  ratio, current  liabilities as  a percent  of net
receivables, current liabilities as a percent of total liabilities.
 
    - The long-term senior debt rating is "A" or better; in some instances "BBB"
      credits may be allowed if other factors outweigh the "BBB".
 
    - The issuer has access to at least two additional channels of borrowing.
 
    - Basic earnings and cash flow have an upward trend with allowances made for
      unusual circumstances.
 
    - Typically, the issuer's industry is well established and the issuer has  a
      strong position within its industry.
 
    - The reliability and quality of management are unquestioned.

                         INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS OF THE FUNDS

       Each of the Funds is governed by a number of investment restrictions -
investment practices which are prohibited or which are only permitted to a
limited extent. Under the 1940 Act, investment restrictions must be designated
either "fundamental" or "nonfundamental." "Fundamental" restrictions may only be
changed with the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
a Fund. "Nonfundamental" restrictions may be changed with the approval of a
majority of a Fund's Board of Directors. Some restrictions are common to all
Funds, usually because governing law so requires. Others vary because of
differences in the objectives of the Funds or for historical reasons.

A.     FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS

       1.     Issuer Concentration. At least 75% of the assets of each Fund
              will be represented by securities limited in respect of any one
              issuer (except U.S. Government securities) to an amount not
              greater in value than 5% of the value of the total assets of such
              Fund. Not more than 10% of the assets of  a Fund will be invested
              in the securities of any one issuer (except U.S. Government
              securities). No Fund will acquire more than 5% of the outstanding
              voting securities of any one issuer.

       2.     Industry Concentration. No Fund will invest more than 25% of its
              assets in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in any one
              industry; however, this restriction shall not apply to
              investments in obligations of  the U.S. Government and its
              agencies and instrumentalities, bank certificates of deposit,
              bankers' acceptances or instruments secured by these money market
              instruments. In addition, for the Dividend and Growth Fund only,
              electric utilities, natural gas utilities, water utilities and
              telecommunications issuers will be considered separate, distinct
              industries.

       3.     Senior Securities. No Fund will issue senior securities, but for
              this purpose transactions in futures contracts and options
              thereon shall not be deemed the issuance of senior securities.


                                          4

       4.     Borrowings. Except for the Dividend and Growth Fund, the
              International Advisers Fund and the International Opportunities
              Fund, none  of the Funds may borrow amounts in excess of 5% of
              its assets, and borrowings by each of the Funds can be only from
              banks or through reverse repurchase agreements and as a temporary
              measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes. For the Dividend
              and Growth Fund and the International Advisers Fund, the
              percentage limit on borrowing is 15% and for the International
              Opportunities Fund the percentage limit is 20%. In addition, the
              Dividend and Growth Fund will not purchase securities when its
              borrowings exceed 5% of its assets.

       5.     Underwriting. No Fund will underwrite securities of other
              issuers.

       6.     Commodities. No Fund will purchase commodities or commodity
              contracts, except for transactions in futures contracts and
              options on futures contracts.
   
       7.     Real Estate. No Fund will invest in real estate, except that each
              of  the Advisers Fund, Bond Fund, Index Fund and Stock Fund may
              invest up to 10% of its assets in interests in real estate which
              are readily marketable, and except that the Dividend and Growth
              Fund, the International Opportunities Fund and the International
              Advisers Fund may hold up to 5% of its assets in real estate or
              mineral leases acquired through the ownership  of securities, but
              such Funds will not acquire securities for the purpose of
              acquiring real estate or mineral leases, commodities or commodity
              contracts.  Notwithstanding the above restriction, the Mortgage
              Securities Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in mortgage-
              related securities.
    
       8.     Loans. No Fund will make loans, except through the acquisition of
              (a) publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other evidences of
              indebtedness of a type customarily purchased by institutional
              investors; (b) money market instruments as permitted in
              accordance with the Fund's investment  policies; and (c)
              repurchase agreements.

B.     NONFUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS

       9.     Short Sales and Margin. No Fund will purchase securities on
              margin or make short sales of securities, except that a Fund may
              obtain such short-term credit as may be necessary for the
              clearance of purchases and sales of  securities and except for
              transactions in futures contracts and options thereon.

       10.    Illiquid Securities. No Fund will invest more than 10% of its
              assets in illiquid securities, except that the Dividend and
              Growth Fund, the International Advisers Fund, the International
              Opportunities Fund may each invest up to 15% of its assets in
              illiquid securities, and except that the Index Fund may not
              invest in illiquid securities at all.

       11.    Control. No Fund will, alone or together with any other of the
              Hartford Mutual Funds, make investments for the purpose of
              exercising control over or


                                          5

<PAGE>

              management of any issuer.

       12.    Pledges. No Fund will mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or in any
              manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, any securities
              owned or held by it, except to secure reverse repurchase
              agreements; however, for purposes of this restriction, collateral
              arrangements with respect to transactions in futures contracts
              and options thereon are not deemed to be a pledge of securities.

       13.    Other Investment Companies. The Index Fund, the Mortgage
              Securities Fund and the money market funds will not purchase
              securities of other investment companies. Each of the other Funds
              may not invest more than 5% of its assets in securities of other
              investment companies and will not acquire more than 3% of the
              total outstanding voting securities of any one investment
              company.

       14.    Geographic Concentration. Each of the International Advisers Fund
              and the International Opportunities Fund will not invest more
              than 20% of its assets in securities of issuers located in any
              one country, except that it may invest up to 35% of its assets in
              any one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, France,
              Japan, the United Kingdom or Germany.


                                      ALL FUNDS

       U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT DIVERSIFICATION REGULATIONS. The U.S. Treasury
Department has issued diversification regulations under Section 817 of the
Internal Revenue Code. If a mutual fund underlying a variable contract, other
than a pension plan contract, is not adequately diversified within the terms of
these regulations, the contract owner will have adverse income tax consequences.
These regulations provide, among other things, that a mutual fund shall be
considered adequately diversified if (i) no more than 55% of the value of the
assets in the fund is represented by any one investment; (ii) no more than 70%
of the value of the assets in the fund is represented by any two investments;
(iii) no more than 80% of the value of the assets in the fund is represented by
any three investments and (iv) no more than 90% of the value of the total assets
of the fund is represented by any four investments. In determining whether the
diversification standards are met, each United States Government Agency or
instrumentality shall be treated as a separate issuer.

                                  PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
   
       The portfolio turnover rates for the Bond Fund for 1993, 1994 and 1995
were 494.3%, 328.8% and 215%, respectively.

       The portfolio turnover rates for the Stock Fund for 1993, 1994 and 1995
were 69.0%, 63.8% and 52.9%, respectively.

       The portfolio turnover rates for the Advisers Fund for 1993, 1994 and
1995 were 55.3%, 60.0% and 63.5%, respectively.


                                          6

<PAGE>

       The portfolio turnover rates for the Capital Appreciation Fund for 1993,
1994 and 1995 were 91.4%, 73.3% and 78.6%, respectively.

       The portfolio turnover rates for the Mortgage Securities Fund for 1993,
1994 and 1995 were 183.4%, 365.7% and 489.4%, respectively.

       The portfolio turnover rates for the Index Fund for 1993, 1994 and 1995
were .8%, 1.8% and 1.5%, respectively.

       The portfolio turnover rates for the International Advisers Fund for the
period February 28, 1995 to December 31, 1995 was 47.2 %.

       The portfolio turnover rate for the International Opportunities Fund for
1993, 1994 and 1995 were 31.8%, 46.4% and 55.6%, respectively.

       The portfolio turnover rates for the Dividend and Growth Fund for the
period March 8, 1994 to December 31, 1994 was 27.8%, and for 1995 was 41.4%.

       Because of the short-term nature of their portfolio securities and
market conditions, no meaningful or accurate prediction can be made of the
portfolio turnover rate for the Money Market and U.S. Government Money Market
Funds.
    

       Turnover rate is computed by determining the percentage relationship of
the lesser of purchases and sales of securities to the monthly average of the
value of securities owned for the fiscal year, exclusive of securities whose
maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less. A high turnover
rate will result in increased brokerage expenses and the likelihood of some
short term gains which may be taxable to shareholders at ordinary income tax
rates (see "Federal Income Taxes" in the prospectus).


                               MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

       The directors and officers of the Funds and their principal business
occupations for the last five years are set forth below. Those directors who are
deemed to be "interested persons" of Hartford Life Insurance Company ("HL") as
that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, are
indicated by an asterisk next to their respective names.

       Pursuant to a provision of each Fund's Bylaws, an Audit Committee has
been appointed for each of the Funds. This Committee is made up of those
directors who are not "interested persons" of HL. The functions of the Audit
Committee include, but are not limited to: (1) recommending to the Board of
Directors the engagement of an independent auditor; (2) reviewing the plan and
results of such auditor's engagement; and (3) reviewing the Fund's internal
audit arrangements.

                                 PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE


                                          11

<PAGE>

       In accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements and
Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements, the investment adviser or sub-investment
adviser (the "Adviser") places all portfolio brokerage on behalf of the Funds.
The Adviser attempts to obtain, in all instances, the best price and execution
on all portfolio transactions. In some instances portfolio brokerage may be
through affiliated persons of the Funds.

       Purchases and sales of debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government will usually be effected on a net basis with a securities dealer
acting as principal. Principal transactions may involve the payment of a fee or
commission. Securities transactions may also be effected directly with the
issuer without the payment of a fee or commission. The Adviser may also place
orders for the purchase of part of an issue of securities, on behalf of the
Funds, that is being underwritten at prices which will include the payment of an
underwriting fee or a commission to the members of the underwriting group from
whom the securities are purchased.

       The Adviser has been authorized by the Boards of Directors of the Funds
to pay an execution-plus-research commission rate which is higher than an
execution-only commission rate in connection with portfolio securities
transactions executed on behalf of the Funds. Research services may include
statistical analysis and economic, market and individual security research. The
Adviser has been authorized by the Funds' Board of Directors to pay higher
commissions than other broker-dealers may charge for such transactions so long
as the Adviser determines in good faith (in accordance with the requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that the commissions paid are
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research and
statistical services provided either in terms of the particular transaction or
with respect to its overall account responsibilities. Evaluation of the
reasonableness of brokerage commissions is based on a broker's standard of
efficiency in executing and clearing a trade, and its ability to provide
information and services which help in the areas of research and portfolio
selection. There is no certainty that any research services thus acquired will
be beneficial to the Funds and under certain circumstances, other clients of the
Adviser may benefit from research and statistical services so received. Further,
by paying a higher commission to a broker-dealer under the circumstances
described, the amount of brokerage commissions which the Funds pay may tend to
increase.

       Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Adviser may also
consider the willingness of particular brokers to sell ITT Hartford's variable
annuity or variable life insurance contracts as a factor in the selection of
brokers for its portfolio transactions. At all times, the Adviser attempts to
obtain best price and execution.

   
       The aggregate amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Stock Fund for
1993, 1994 and 1995 was $1,556,000, $1,872,000 and $1,839,000, respectively.
    
   
       The aggregate amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Advisers Fund

Opportunities Fund in 1993, 1994 and 1995 was $785,000, $1,940,000 and
$1,986,000, respectively.
    
   
       The aggregate amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Dividend and
Growth Fund in 1994 and 1995 was $65,000 and $303,000, respectively. The
Dividend and Growth Fund commenced operations in 1994.
    

       Changes in the amounts of brokerage commissions paid reflect changes in
portfolio turnover rates.

   
       No brokerage commissions were paid in 1993, 1994 or 1995 by the Bond
Fund, Money Market Fund, Mortgage Securities Fund, or U.S. Government Money
Market Fund.
    

                                DETERMINATION OF YIELD

HVA Money Market Fund, Inc.

       The Fund's yield quotations as they appear in advertising and sales
materials are calculated by a method prescribed by the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

   
       Yield calculations of the Fund used for illustration purposes are based
on the consideration of a hypothetical account having a balance of exactly one
share at the beginning of a seven day period, which period will end on the date
of the most recent financial statements. The yield for the fund during this
seven day period will be the change in the value of the hypothetical account,
including dividends declared on the original share, dividends declared on any
shares purchased with dividends on that share, and any monthly account charges
or sales charges that would affect an account of average size, but excluding any
capital changes. The following is an example of this yield calculation for the
Fund based on a seven day period ending December 31, 1995.
    

Example:


                                          13

<PAGE>

  Assumptions:

  Value of a hypothetical pre-existing account with exactly one share at the
beginning of the period: $1.000000
   
  Value of the same account* (excluding capital changes) at the end of the seven
day period: $1.001035
    
  *This value would include the value of any additional shares purchased with
dividends from the original share, and all dividends declared on both the
original share and any such additional shares.
   
  Calculation:

  Ending account value                           $1.001035
  Less beginning account value                    1.000000
                                                 ---------
  Net change in account value                    $ .001035

Base period return:
  (adjusted change/beginning account value)
  $.001035/$1.000000 =      $.001035
                            --------

Current yield = $.001035 x (365/7) =  5.40%
Effective yield = (1 + .001035) 365/7 - 1 = 5.44%
    

       The current yield and effective yield information will fluctuate, and
publication of yield information may not provide a basis for comparison with
bank deposits, other investments which are insured and/or pay a fixed yield for
a stated period of time, or other investment companies. In addition, the current
yield and effective yield information may be of limited use for comparative
purposes because it does not reflect charges imposed at the Separate Account
level which, if included, would decrease the yield.

       At any time in the future, yields and total return may be higher or
lower than past yields and there can be no assurance that any historical results
will continue.

                             CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN

       As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading "Performance Related
Information", total return is a measure of the change in value of an investment
in a Fund over the period covered, which assumes any dividends or capital gains
distributions are reinvested in that Fund immediately rather than paid to the
investor in cash. The formula for total return used herein includes four steps:
(1) adding to the total number of shares purchased by a hypothetical $1,000
investment in the Fund all additional shares which would have been purchased if
all dividends and distributions paid or distributed during the period had been
immediately reinvested; (2) calculating the value of the hypothetical initial
investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by multiplying the total number
of shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset value per share on the
last trading day of the period; (3) assuming redemption at the end of the period
and deducting any applicable contingent deferred sales charge and (4) dividing
this account value for the hypothetical investor by the initial $1,000
investment. Total return will be calculated for one year, five years and ten
years or some other relevant periods if a Fund has not been in existence for at
least ten years.


                               PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN

   
       Each Fund may from time to time include its yield and/or total return in
advertisements or information furnished to present or prospective shareholders.
Each Fund may also from time to time include in advertisements the ranking of
those performance figures as categorized by recognized rating firms such as
Lipper Analytical Services and Morningstar, Inc.
    
   
       The total return and yield may also be used to compare the performance
of the Funds against certain widely acknowledged outside standards or indices
for stock and bond market performance including those described below.
    

       The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Price Index (the "S&P 500") is a market
value-weighted and unmanaged index showing the changes in the aggregate market
value of 500 stocks. The S&P 500 represents about 80% of the market value of all
issues traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

       The NASDAQ Composite OTC Price Index (the "NASDAQ Index") is a market
value-weighted and unmanaged index showing the changes in the aggregate market
value of approximately 3,500 stocks. The NASDAQ Index is composed entirely of
common stocks of companies traded over-the-counter and often through the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ")
system. Only those over-the-counter stocks having only one market maker or
traded on exchanges are excluded.

       The Lehman Government Bond Index (the "Lehman Government Index") is a
measure of


                                          16

<PAGE>

the market value of all public obligations of the U.S. Treasury; all publicly
issued debt of all agencies of the U.S. Government and all quasi-federal
corporations; and all corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Mortgage backed securities, flower bonds and foreign targeted issues are not
included in the Lehman Government Index.

       The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (the "EAFE Index")
is an unmanaged index, which includes over 1,000 companies representing the
stock markets of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East.   The EAFE
Index is weighted by market capitalization, and therefore, it has a heavy
representation in countries with large stock markets, such as Japan.

       The Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "Lehman
Government/Corporate Index") is a measure of the market value of approximately
5,300 bonds with a face value currently in excess of $1.3 trillion. To be
included in the Lehman Government/Corporate Index, an issue must have amounts
outstanding in excess of $1 million, have at least one year to maturity and be
rated "Baa" or higher ("investment grade") by a nationally recognized rating
agency.

       The Composite Index for Hartford Advisers Fund is comprised of the S&P
500 (55%), the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (35%), both mentioned
above, and 90 Day U.S. Treasury Bills (10%).

       The Russell 2500 Index is a market value-weighted, unmanaged index
showing total return (i.e., principal changes with income) in the aggregate
market value of 2,500 stocks of publicly traded companies domiciled in the
United States. The Index includes stocks traded on the New York Stock  Exchange
and the American Stock Exchange as well as in the over-the-counter  market.
   
       The Composite Index for the Capital Appreciation Fund is the Russell
2500 Index (60%)/S&P 500 Index (40%), both of which are mentioned above.
    
   
       The following table sets forth the average annual total return, and
yield where applicable, for each Fund through December 31, 1995.

                               GLOBAL CUSTODY AGREEMENT

         This AGREEMENT is effective ___________________, 19___, and is between
THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, N.A. (the "Bank") and  ITT HARTFORD INSURANCE GROUP
(the "Customer").


1.       CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS.

         The Bank agrees to establish and maintain the following accounts
("Accounts"):

         (a)     A custody account in the name of the Customer  ("Custody
Account") for any and all stocks, shares, bonds, debentures, notes, mortgages or
other obligations for the payment of money, bullion, coin and any certificates,
receipts, warrants or other instruments representing rights to receive, purchase
or subscribe for the same or evidencing or representing any other rights or
interests therein and other similar property whether certificated or
uncertificated as may be received by the Bank or its Subcustodian (as defined in
Section 3) for the account of the Customer ("Securities"); and

         (b)     A deposit account in the name of the Customer ("Deposit
Account") for any and all cash in any currency received by the Bank or its
Subcustodian for the account of the Customer, which cash shall not be subject to
withdrawal by draft or check.

         The Customer warrants its authority to: (1) deposit the cash and
Securities ("Assets") received in the Accounts and (2) give Instructions (as
defined in Section 11) concerning the Accounts.  The Bank may deliver securities
of the same class in place of those deposited in the Custody Account.

         Upon written agreement between the Bank and the Customer, additional
Accounts may be established and separately accounted for as additional Accounts
under the terms of this Agreement.


2.       MAINTENANCE OF SECURITIES AND CASH AT BANK AND SUBCUSTODIAN LOCATIONS.

         Unless Instructions specifically require another location acceptable
to the Bank:

         (a)     Securities will be held in the country or other jurisdiction
in which the principal trading market for such Securities is located, where such
Securities are to be presented for payment or where such Securities are
acquired; and

         (b)     Cash will be credited to an account in a country or other
jurisdiction in which such cash may be legally deposited or is the legal
currency for the payment of public or private debts.

         Cash may be held pursuant to Instructions in either interest or
non-interest bearing accounts as may be available for the particular currency.
To the extent Instructions are issued and the Bank can comply with such
Instructions, the Bank is authorized to maintain cash balances on deposit for
the Customer with itself or one of its affiliates at such reasonable rates of
interest as may from time to time be paid on such accounts, or in non-interest
bearing accounts as the Customer may direct, if acceptable to the Bank.

         If the Customer wishes to have any of its Assets held in the custody
of an institution other than the established Subcustodians as defined in Section
3 (or their securities depositories), such arrangement must be authorized by a
written agreement, signed by the Bank and the Customer.


3.       SUBCUSTODIANS AND SECURITIES DEPOSITORIES.

<PAGE>

         The Bank may act under this Agreement through the subcustodians listed
in Schedule A of this Agreement with which the Bank has entered into
subcustodial agreements ("Subcustodians").  The Customer authorizes the Bank to
hold Assets in the Accounts in accounts which the Bank has established with one
or more of its branches or Subcustodians.  The Bank and Subcustodians are
authorized to hold any of the Securities in their account with any securities
depository in which they participate.

         The Bank reserves the right to add new, replace or remove
Subcustodians.  The Customer will be given reasonable notice by the Bank of any
amendment to Schedule A.  Upon request by the Customer, the Bank will identify
the name, address and principal place of business of any Subcustodian of the
Customer's Assets and the name and address of the governmental agency or other
regulatory authority that supervises or regulates such Subcustodian.


4.       USE OF SUBCUSTODIAN.

         (a)     The Bank will identify such Assets on its books as belonging
to the Customer.

         (b)     A Subcustodian will hold such Assets together with assets
belonging to other customers of the Bank in accounts identified on such
Subcustodian's books as special custody accounts for the exclusive benefit of
customers of the Bank.

         (c)     Any Assets in the Accounts held by a Subcustodian will be
subject only to the instructions of the Bank or its agent.  Any Securities held
in a securities depository for the account of a Subcustodian will be subject
only to the instructions of such Subcustodian.

         (d)     Any agreement the Bank enters into with a Subcustodian for
holding its customer's assets shall provide that such assets will not be subject
to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of
such Subcustodian except for safe custody or administration, and that the
beneficial ownership of such assets will be freely transferable without the
payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration.  The
foregoing shall not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement
made by the Customer with any particular Subcustodian.


5.       DEPOSIT ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS.

         (a)     The Bank or its Subcustodians will make payments from the
Deposit Account upon receipt of Instructions which include all information
required by the Bank.

         (b)     In the event that any payment to be made under this Section 5
exceeds the funds available in the Deposit Account, the Bank, in its discretion,
may advance the Customer such excess amount which shall be deemed a loan payable
on demand, bearing interest at the rate customarily charged by the Bank on
similar loans.

         (c)     If the Bank credits the Deposit Account on a payable date, or
at any time prior to actual collection and reconciliation to the Deposit
Account, with interest, dividends, redemptions or any other amount due, the
Customer will promptly return any such amount upon oral or written notification:
(i) that such amount has not been received in the ordinary course of business or
(ii) that such amount was incorrectly credited.  If the Customer does not
promptly return any amount upon such notification, the Bank shall be entitled,
upon oral or written notification to the Customer, to reverse such credit by
debiting the Deposit Account for the amount previously credited.  The Bank or
its Subcustodian shall have no duty or obligation to institute legal
proceedings, file a claim or a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or
take any other action with respect to the collection of such amount, but may act
for the Customer upon Instructions after consultation with the Customer.

6.       CUSTODY ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS.

         (a)     Securities will be transferred, exchanged or delivered by the
Bank or its Subcustodian upon receipt by the Bank of Instructions which include
all information required by the Bank.  Settlement and payment for Securities
received for, and delivery of Securities out of, the Custody Account may be made
in accordance with the customary or established securities trading or securities
processing practices and procedures in the jurisdiction or market in which the
transaction occurs, including, without limitation, delivery of Securities to a
purchaser, dealer or their agents against a receipt with the expectation of
receiving later payment and free delivery.  Delivery of Securities out of the
Custody Account may also be made in any manner specifically required by
Instructions acceptable to the Bank.

         (b)     The Bank, in its discretion, may credit or debit the Accounts
on a contractual settlement date with cash or Securities with respect to any
sale, exchange or purchase of Securities.  Otherwise, such transactions will be
credited or debited to the Accounts on the date cash or Securities are actually
received by the Bank and reconciled to the Account.

         (i)     The Bank may reverse credits or debits made to the Accounts in
         its discretion if the related transaction fails to settle within a
         reasonable period, determined by the Bank in its discretion, after the
         contractual settlement date for the related transaction.

         (ii)    If any Securities delivered pursuant to this Section 6 are
         returned by the recipient thereof, the Bank may reverse the credits
         and debits of the particular transaction at any time.


7.       ACTIONS OF THE BANK.

         The Bank shall follow Instructions received regarding assets held in
the Accounts.  However, until it receives Instructions to the contrary, the Bank
will:

         (a)     Present for payment any Securities which are called, redeemed
or retired or otherwise become payable and all coupons and other income items
which call for payment upon presentation, to the extent that the Bank or
Subcustodian is actually aware of such opportunities.

         (b)     Execute in the name of the Customer such ownership and other
certificates as may be required to obtain payments in respect of Securities.

         (c)     Exchange interim receipts or temporary Securities for
definitive Securities.

         (d)     Appoint brokers and agents for any transaction involving the
Securities, including, without limitation, affiliates of the Bank or any
Subcustodian.

         (e)     Issue statements to the Customer, at times mutually agreed
upon, identifying the Assets in the Accounts.

         The Bank will send the Customer an advice or notification of any
transfers of Assets to or from the Accounts.  Such statements, advices or
notifications shall indicate the identity of the entity having custody of the
Assets.  Unless the Customer sends the Bank a written exception or objection to
any Bank statement within sixty (60) days of receipt, the Customer shall be
deemed to have approved such statement. In such event, or where the Customer has
otherwise approved any such statement, the Bank shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be released, relieved and discharged with respect to all matters set
forth in such statement or reasonably implied therefrom as though it had been
settled by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action where
the Customer and all persons having or claiming an interest in the Customer or
the Customer's Accounts were parties.

         All collections of funds or other property paid or distributed in
respect of Securities in the Custody Account shall be made at the risk of the
Customer.  The Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned by delay in
the actual receipt of notice by the Bank or by its Subcustodians of any payment,
redemption or other transaction regarding Securities in the Custody Account in
respect of which the Bank has agreed to take any action under this Agreement.

<PAGE>

8.       CORPORATE ACTIONS; PROXIES.

         Whenever the Bank receives information concerning the Securities which
requires discretionary action by the beneficial owner of the Securities (other
than a proxy), such as subscription rights, bonus issues, stock repurchase plans
and rights offerings, or legal notices or other material intended to be
transmitted to securities holders ("Corporate Actions"), the Bank will give the
Customer notice of such Corporate Actions to the extent that the Bank's central
corporate actions department has actual knowledge of a Corporate Action in time
to notify its customers.

         When a rights entitlement or a fractional interest resulting from a
rights issue, stock dividend, stock split or similar Corporate Action is
received which bears an expiration date, the Bank will endeavor to obtain
Instructions from the Customer or its Authorized Person, but if Instructions are
not received in time for the Bank to take timely action, or actual notice of
such Corporate Action was received too late to seek Instructions, the Bank is
authorized to sell such rights entitlement or fractional interest and to credit
the Deposit Account with the proceeds or take any other action it deems, in good
faith, to be appropriate in which case it shall be held harmless for any such
action.

         The Bank will deliver proxies to the Customer or its designated agent
pursuant to special arrangements which may have been agreed to in writing.  Such
proxies shall be executed in the appropriate nominee name relating to Securities
in the Custody Account registered in the name of such nominee but without
indicating the manner in which such proxies are to be voted; and where bearer
Securities are involved, proxies will be delivered in accordance with
Instructions.


9.       NOMINEES.

         Securities which are ordinarily held in registered form may be
registered in a nominee name of the Bank, Subcustodian or securities depository,
as the case may be.  The Bank may without notice to the Customer cause any such
Securities to cease to be registered in the name of any such nominee and to be
registered in the name of the Customer.  In the event that any Securities
registered in a nominee name are called for partial redemption by the issuer,
the Bank may allot the called portion to the respective beneficial holders of
such class of security in any manner the Bank deems to be fair and equitable.
The Customer agrees to hold the Bank, Subcustodians, and their respective
nominees harmless from any liability arising directly or indirectly from their
status as a mere record holder of Securities in the Custody Account.


10.      AUTHORIZED PERSONS.

         As used in this Agreement, the term "Authorized Person" means
employees or agents including investment managers as have been designated by
written notice from the Customer or its designated agent to act on behalf of the
Customer under this Agreement.  Such persons shall continue to be Authorized
Persons until such time as the Bank receives Instructions from the Customer or
its designated agent that any such employee or agent is no longer an Authorized
Person.


11.      INSTRUCTIONS.

         The term "Instructions" means instructions of any Authorized Person
received by the Bank, via telephone, telex, TWX, facsimile transmission, bank
wire or other teleprocess or electronic instruction or trade information system
acceptable to the Bank which the Bank believes in good faith to have been given
by Authorized Persons or which are transmitted with proper testing or
authentication pursuant to terms and conditions which the Bank may specify.
Unless otherwise expressly provided, all Instructions shall continue in full
force and effect until canceled or superseded.

         Any Instructions delivered to the Bank by telephone shall promptly
thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized Person (which confirmation
may bear the facsimile signature of such Person), but the Customer will hold the
Bank harmless for the failure of an Authorized Person to send such confirmation
in writing, the failure of such confirmation to conform to the telephone
instructions received or the Bank's failure to produce such confirmation at any
subsequent time.  The Bank may electronically record any Instructions given by
telephone, and any other telephone discussions with respect to the Custody
Account.  The Customer shall be responsible for safeguarding any test keys,
identification codes or other security

<PAGE>

devices which the Bank shall make available to the Customer or its Authorized
Persons.


12.      STANDARD OF CARE; LIABILITIES.

         (a)     The Bank shall be responsible for the performance of only such
duties as are set forth in this Agreement or expressly contained in Instructions
which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as follows:

         (i)     The Bank will use reasonable care with respect to its
         obligations under this Agreement and the safekeeping of Assets.  The
         Bank shall be liable to the Customer for any loss which shall occur as
         the result of the failure of a Subcustodian to exercise reasonable
         care with respect to the safekeeping of such Assets to the same extent
         that the Bank would be liable to the Customer if the Bank were holding
         such Assets in New York.  In the event of any loss to the Customer by
         reason of the failure of the Bank or its Subcustodian to utilize
         reasonable care, the Bank shall be liable to the Customer only to the
         extent of the Customer's direct damages, to be determined based on the
         market value of the property which is the subject of the loss at the
         date of discovery of such loss and without reference to any special
         conditions or circumstances.

         (ii)    The Bank will not be responsible for any act, omission,
         default or for the solvency of any broker or agent which it or a
         Subcustodian appoints unless such appointment was made negligently or
         in bad faith.

         (iii)   The Bank shall be indemnified by, and without liability to the
         Customer for any action taken or omitted by the Bank whether pursuant
         to Instructions or otherwise within the scope of this Agreement if
         such act or omission was in good faith, without negligence.  In
         performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Bank may rely on
         the genuineness of any document which it believes in good faith to
         have been validly executed.

         (iv)    The Customer agrees to pay for and hold the Bank harmless from
         any liability or loss resulting from the imposition or assessment of
         any taxes or other governmental charges, and any related expenses with
         respect to income from or Assets in the Accounts.

         (v)     The Bank shall be entitled to rely, and may act, upon the
         advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Customer) on all matters
         and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or
         omitted pursuant to such advice.

         (vi)    The Bank need not maintain any insurance for the benefit of
         the Customer.

         (vii)   Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank shall not be liable
         for any loss which results from:  1) the general risk of investing, or
         2) investing or holding Assets in a particular country including, but
         not limited to, losses resulting from nationalization, expropriation
         or other governmental actions; regulation of the banking or securities
         industry; currency restrictions, devaluations or fluctuations; and
         market conditions which prevent the orderly execution of securities
         transactions or affect the value of Assets.

         (viii)  Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss due to
         forces beyond their control including, but not limited to strikes or
         work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution,
         nuclear fusion, fission or radiation, or acts of God.

         (b)     Consistent with and without limiting the first paragraph of
this Section 12, it is specifically acknowledged that the Bank shall have no
duty or responsibility to:

         (i)     question Instructions or make any suggestions to the Customer
         or an Authorized Person regarding such Instructions;

         (ii)    supervise or make recommendations with respect to investments
         or the retention of Securities;

<PAGE>

         (iii)   advise the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding any
         default in the payment of principal or income of any security other
         than as provided in Section 5(c) of this Agreement;

         (iv)    evaluate or report to the Customer or an Authorized Person
         regarding the financial condition of any broker, agent or other party
         to which Securities are delivered or payments are made pursuant to
         this Agreement;

         (v)     review or reconcile trade confirmations received from brokers.
         The Customer or its Authorized Persons (as defined in Section 10)
         issuing Instructions shall bear any responsibility to review such
         confirmations against Instructions issued to and statements issued by
         the Bank.

         (c)     The Customer authorizes the Bank to act under this Agreement
notwithstanding that the Bank or any of its divisions or affiliates may have a
material interest in a transaction, or circumstances are such that the Bank may
have a potential conflict of duty or interest including the fact that the Bank
or any of its affiliates may provide brokerage services to other customers, act
as financial advisor to the issuer of Securities, act as a lender to the issuer
of Securities, act in the same transaction as agent for more than one customer,
have a material interest in the issue of Securities, or earn profits from any of
the activities listed herein.


13.      FEES AND EXPENSES.

         The Customer agrees to pay the Bank for its services under this
Agreement such amount as may be agreed upon in writing, together with the Bank's
reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to,
legal fees.  The Bank shall have a lien on and is authorized to charge any
Accounts of the Customer for any amount owing to the Bank under any provision of
this Agreement.


14.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a)     FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS.  To facilitate the
administration of the Customer's trading and investment activity, the Bank is
authorized to enter into spot or forward foreign exchange contracts with the
Customer or an Authorized Person for the Customer and may also provide foreign
exchange through its subsidiaries, affiliates or Subcustodians.  Instructions,
including standing instructions, may be issued with respect to such contracts
but the Bank may establish rules or limitations concerning any foreign exchange
facility made available.  In all cases where the Bank, its subsidiaries,
affiliates or Subcustodians enter into a foreign exchange contract related to
Accounts, the terms and conditions of the then current foreign exchange contract
of the Bank, its subsidiary, affiliate or Subcustodian and, to the extent not
inconsistent, this Agreement shall apply to such transaction.

         (b)     CERTIFICATION OF RESIDENCY, ETC.  The Customer certifies that
it is a resident of the United States and agrees to notify the Bank of any
changes in residency.  The Bank may rely upon this certification or the
certification of such other facts as may be required to administer the Bank's
obligations under this Agreement.  The Customer will indemnify the Bank against
all losses, liability, claims or demands arising directly or indirectly from any
such certifications.

<PAGE>

         (c)     ACCESS TO RECORDS.  The Bank shall allow the Customer's
independent public accountant reasonable access to the records of the Bank
relating to the Assets as is required in connection with their examination of
books and records pertaining to the Customer's affairs.  Subject to restrictions
under applicable law, the Bank shall also obtain an undertaking to permit the
Customer's independent public accountants reasonable access to the records of
any Subcustodian which has physical possession of any Assets as may be required
in connection with the examination of the Customer's books and records.

         (d)     GOVERNING LAW; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of New York and shall not be assignable by
either party, but shall bind the successors in interest of the Customer and the
Bank.

         (e)     ENTIRE AGREEMENT; APPLICABLE RIDERS.  Customer represents that
the Assets deposited in the Accounts are (Check one):

                Employee Benefit Plan or other assets subject to the Employee
          ----      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
                    ("ERISA");

                Mutual Fund assets subject to certain Securities and Exchange

          ----

         This Agreement consists exclusively of this document together with
         Schedule A, Exhibits I - _______ and the following Rider(s):
                 
         MUTUAL FUND

         INSURANCE COMPANY PROVISIONS

         There are no other provisions of this Agreement and this Agreement
supersedes any other agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties.
Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing, executed by both parties.

         (f)     SEVERABILITY.  In the event that one or more provisions of
this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect on the
basis of any particular circumstances or in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of such provision or provisions under other
circumstances or in other jurisdictions and of the remaining provisions will not
in any way be affected or impaired.

         (g)     WAIVER.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no
failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any power or right
under this Agreement operates as a waiver, nor does any single or partial
exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise, or the
exercise of any other power or right.  No waiver by a party of any provision of
this Agreement, or waiver of any breach or default, is effective unless in
writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.

         (i)     TERMINATION.  This Agreement may be terminated by the Customer
or the Bank by giving sixty (60) days written notice to the other, provided that
such notice to the Bank shall specify the names of the persons to whom the Bank
shall deliver the Assets in the Accounts.  If notice of termination is given by
the Bank, the Customer shall, within sixty (60) days following receipt of the
notice, deliver to the Bank Instructions specifying the names of the persons to
whom the Bank shall deliver the Assets.  In either case the Bank will deliver
the Assets to the persons so specified, after deducting any amounts which the
Bank determines in good faith to be owed to it under Section 13.  If within
sixty (60) days following receipt of a notice of termination by the Bank, the
Bank does not receive Instructions from the Customer specifying the names of the
persons to whom the Bank shall deliver the Assets, the Bank, at its election,
may deliver the Assets to a bank or trust company doing business in the State of
New York to be held and disposed of pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, or to Authorized Persons, or may continue to hold the Assets until
Instructions are provided to the Bank.

         Customer represents that the Assets being placed in the Bank's custody
are subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act), as the same may be
amended from time to time.

         Custody Account, such proxies (signed in blank, if issued in the name
         of the Bank's nominee or the nominee of a central depository) and

         redemptions, exchanges or similar matters with respect to Securities
         in the Custody Account and advise the Customer or the Authorized
         Person for such Account of rights issued, tender offers or any other
         discretionary rights with respect to such Securities, in each case, of
         which the Bank has received notice from the issuer of the Securities,
         or as to which notice is published in publications routinely utilized
         by the Bank for this purpose.

FEES

The fees referenced in Section 13 of this Agreement cover only domestic and
euro-dollar holdings.  There will be no Schedule A to this Agreement, as there
are no foreign assets in the Accounts.

  * Aggregate cost for Federal income tax purposes.
(A) Principal Only [cad 228] Securities created by investment bankers by 
separating regular bonds into their principal and coupon components and 
selling each piece separately. If the underlying bonds are subject to 
prepayment, the interest only investor is at risk for faster than 
anticipated prepayments and the principal only investor is at risk for 
slower than anticipated prepayments.

These instruments are used for a very small percentage of the funds 
assets when they are determined they improve the portfolio's return profile.

</TABLE>
 
 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the  Funds,
    which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
    investment company industry:
 
    a)  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security  transactions are recorded  on the trade
      date (date  the order  to buy  or sell  is executed).  Security gains  and
      losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
    b)  SECURITY VALUATION--Debt securities  (other than short-term obligations)
      are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an unaffiliated pricing
      service which determines valuations for normal institutional size  trading
      units of debt securities. Mortgage securities are valued at the bid price.
      Short-term  securities held  in HVA Money  Market Fund,  Inc. and Hartford
      U.S. Government Money Market  Fund, Inc. are valued  at amortized cost  or
      original cost plus accrued
 
                                      112
<PAGE>
      interest  receivable, both of which  approximate market value. In Hartford
      Advisers Fund, Inc.,  Hartford Capital Appreciation  Fund, Inc.,  Hartford
      Index  Fund, Inc.,  Hartford Stock Fund,  Inc., Hartford  Bond Fund, Inc.,
      Hartford  Mortgage   Securities   Fund,   Inc.,   Hartford   International
      Opportunities  Fund, Inc.,  Hartford Dividend  and Growth  Fund, Inc., and
      Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc., short-term investments with  a
      maturity  of 60 days or less when  purchased are valued at amortized cost,
      which approximates market value. Short-term investments with a maturity of
      more than 60  days when purchased  are valued based  on market  quotations
      until  the remaining days to maturity become  less than 61 days. From such
      time until maturity, the investments are valued at amortized cost.
 
      Equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on principal
      securities exchanges (domestic or foreign). If no sale took place on  such
      day  and in the case of certain equity securities traded over-the-counter,
      then such securities  are valued  at the mean  between the  bid and  asked
      prices.  Securities quoted in foreign  currencies are translated into U.S.
      dollars at the exchange rate at  the end of the reporting period.  Options
      are  valued at the  last sales price; if  no sale took  place on such day,
      then options are  valued at  the mean between  the bid  and asked  prices.
      Securities  for which market quotations are  not readily available and all
      other assets are valued in good faith at fair value by a person designated
      by the Funds' Board of Directors.
 
    c) FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSACTIONS--The accounting records  of the Funds  are
      maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities initially expressed
      in  foreign  currencies  are  converted into  U.S.  dollars  at prevailing
      exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and
      interest income,  and certain  expenses  are translated  at the  rates  of
      exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
 
      The  Funds  do  not isolate  that  portion  of the  results  of operations
      resulting from changes in the  foreign exchange rates on investments  from
      the  fluctuations arising from changes in  the market prices of securities
      held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and  unrealized
      gain or loss on investments.
 
      Net  realized  foreign  exchange  gains  or  losses  arise  from  sales of
      portfolio securities,  sales of  foreign  currencies, and  the  difference
      between asset and liability amounts initially stated in foreign currencies
      and  the U.S. dollar value  of the amounts actually  received or paid. Net
      unrealized foreign  exchange gains  or losses  arise from  changes in  the
      value  of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities at the end
      of the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
 
    d) REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS--A repurchase agreement is an agreement by  which
      the  seller of  a security  agrees to  repurchase the  security sold  at a
      mutually agreed upon time and  price. At the time  the Funds enter into  a
      repurchase   agreement,   the   value   of   the   underlying   collateral
      security(ies), including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed  the
      value  of  the  repurchase  agreement  and,  in  the  case  of  repurchase
      agreements exceeding one day, the  value of the underlying  security(ies),
      including  accrued interest, is required during  the term of the agreement
      to be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement. Securities
      which serve to  collateralize the  repurchase agreement are  held by  each
      Fund's  custodian in book entry or  physical form in the custodial account
      of the  Fund.  Repurchase  agreements  are valued  at  cost  plus  accrued
      interest receivable.
 
    e)  JOINT  TRADING ACCOUNT--Pursuant  to an  exemptive  order issued  by the
      Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may transfer uninvested cash
      balances into  a  joint trading  account  managed by  Hartford  Investment
      Management  Company (HIMCO). These balances may be invested in one or more
      repurchase agreements and/or short-term money market instruments.
 
    f) FUTURES, OPTIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES--The  Funds
      enter  into  futures contracts  to retain  their cash  balance and  yet be
      exposed to  the  market  thereby  providing  the  liquidity  necessary  to
      accommodate  redemptions while at the same time providing shareholders the
      investment return of a fully invested portfolio. A futures contract is  an
      agreement  between two parties to buy and  sell a security for a set price
      on a  future date.  When the  funds enter  into such  contracts, they  are
      required  to deposit with their custodian an amount of "initial margin" of
      cash or  U.S.  Treasury  bills. Subsequent  payments,  called  maintenance
      margin,  to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the price of
      the underlying  debt  security  fluctuates,  making  the  long  and  short
      positions    in   the    futures   contract   more    or   less   valuable

 HARTFORD MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
      (i.e., mark-to-market), which results in an unrealized gain or loss to the
      Funds. The market  value of  a traded futures  contract is  the last  sale
      price or, in the absence of a last sale price, the last offering price or,
      in  the  absence  of either  of  these  prices, fair  value  is determined
      according to procedures established by the Funds' Board of Directors.
 
      At any time  prior to expiration  of the futures  contract, the Funds  may
      close  the position by taking an  opposite position which would operate to
      terminate the position in the  futures contract. A final determination  of
      maintenance margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by
      or released to the Funds and the Funds realize a gain or loss.
 
      The  premium paid by the Fund for the  purchase of a call or put option is
      included in  the Fund's  Statement  of Net  Assets  as an  investment  and
      subsequently "marked to market" to reflect the current market value of the
      option purchased as of the end of the reporting period. If an option which
      the Fund has purchased expires on its stipulated expiration date, the Fund
      realizes  a loss  in the  amount of the  cost of  the option.  If the Fund
      enters into a closing transaction, it  realizes a gain or loss,  depending
      on whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of
      the option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss
      from  the sale of the underlying security  and the proceeds from such sale
      will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises  a
      call  option,  the cost  of  the security  which  the Fund  purchases upon
      exercise will be increased by the  premium originally paid. The Funds  had
      no options contracts outstanding at December 31, 1995.
 
    g)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--For Federal income  tax purposes, the Funds intend
      to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under  Subchapter
      M  of the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of their
      taxable income  to  their shareholders  or  otherwise complying  with  the
      requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision
      for Federal income taxes has been made.
 
    h)  FUND SHARE VALUATION AND  DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Orders
      for the  Fund's shares  are  executed in  accordance with  the  investment
      instructions  of the contract owners. Dividend income is accrued as of the
      ex-dividend date.  Interest income  and expenses  are accrued  on a  daily
      basis.  The net asset value  of the Fund's shares  is determined as of the
      close of each business day of the New York Stock Exchange (the  Exchange).
      Orders  for the purchase of the Funds'  shares received prior to the close
      of the Exchange  on any day  on which the  fund is open  for business  are
      priced  at the per-share net asset value determined as of the close of the
      Exchange. Orders received after the close of the Exchange, or on a day  on
      which the Exchange and/or the Fund is not open for business, are priced at
      the per-share net asset value next determined.
 
      Dividends  are declared  by the Funds'  Board of Directors  based upon the
      investment performance of the respective Funds. The policy with respect to
      Hartford Bond Fund,  Inc., Hartford  Stock Fund,  Inc., Hartford  Advisers
      Fund,  Inc., Hartford  Capital Appreciation Fund,  Inc., Hartford Mortgage
      Securities Fund, Inc., Hartford  Index Fund, Inc., Hartford  International

      Hartford International Advisers Fund, Inc. is to distribute dividends from
      net investment income  monthly and distribute  realized capital gains,  if
      any, annually.
 
      HVA  Money Market  Fund, Inc.  and Hartford  U.S. Government  Money Market
      Fund, Inc. seek to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00 by
      declaring a  daily  dividend from  net  investment income,  including  net
      short-term  capital  gains and  losses, and  by valuing  their investments
      using the amortized cost method. Dividends are distributed monthly.

    j)   FOREIGN  CURRENCY   CONTRACTS--As  of   December  31,   1995,  Hartford
      International Opportunities  Fund,  Inc.,  Hartford  Capital  Appreciation
      Fund,  Inc. and  Hartford International  Advisers Fund,  Inc. have entered
      into forward foreign currency exchange  contracts that obligate the  Funds
      to  repurchase currencies at specified future  dates. The Funds enter into
      forward foreign currency contracts to manage currency exchange rate risk.

      unfavorable change in  the foreign  exchange rate  underlying the  forward
      contract.
 
    k)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation  of financial statements in conformity
      with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to  make
      estimates  and assumptions that affect the  reported amounts of assets and
      liabilities as of the  date of the financial  statements and the  reported
      amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating results in the
      future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates.

 Inc., which reflects the period since inception, March 1, 1995, to December 31,
 1995) and the financial  highlights for each  of the five  years in the  period
 then  ended (except for Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc., which reflects
 the year then  ended and from  the period  since inception, March  8, 1994,  to
 December  31,  1994,  and  Hartford International  Advisers  Fund,  Inc., which
 reflects the period  since inception,  March 1,  1995, to  December 31,  1995).
 These  financial statements and financial  highlights are the responsibility of
 the Funds' management.  Our responsibility is  to express an  opinion on  these
 financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
 We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of
 material  misstatement. An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
 supporting the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  Our
 procedures  included confirmation of securities owned  as of December 31, 1995,
 by correspondence  with the  custodian. An  audit also  includes assessing  the
 accounting  principles used  and significant  estimates made  by management, as
 well as evaluating  the overall  financial statement  presentation. We  believe
 that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In  our opinion, the financial statements  and financial highlights referred to
 above present  fairly, in  all  material respects,  the financial  position  of
 Hartford  Bond Fund,  Inc., Hartford Stock  Fund, Inc., HVA  Money Market Fund,
 Inc., Hartford Advisers Fund, Inc., Hartford U.S. Government Money Market Fund,
 Inc., Hartford Capital  Appreciation Fund, Inc.  (formerly Hartford  Aggressive
 Growth  Fund, Inc.),  Hartford Mortgage  Securities Fund,  Inc., Hartford Index
 Fund, Inc., Hartford International Opportunities Fund, Inc., Hartford  Dividend
 and  Growth Fund, Inc.,  and Hartford International Advisers  Fund, Inc., as of
 December 31, 1995,  the results  of their operations  for the  year then  ended
 (except  for  Hartford International  Advisers  Fund Inc.,  which  reflects the
 period since inception  March 1, 1995,  to December 31,  1995), the changes  in
 their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (except for
 Hartford Dividend and Growth Fund, Inc., which reflects the year then ended and
 the  period since inception, March 8, 1994,  to December 31, 1994, and Hartford
 International Advisers Fund, Inc., which  reflects the period since  inception,
 March  1, 1995, to December 31, 1995)  and the financial highlights for each of
 the five  years in  the period  then ended  (except for  Hartford Dividend  and
 Growth  Fund, Inc.,  which reflects  the year then  ended and  the period since
 inception, March  8, 1994,  to December  31, 1994,  and Hartford  International
 Advisers  Fund, Inc., which reflects the period since inception, March 1, 1995,
 to December  31,  1995),  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
 principles.
