REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
---------------------------------
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
the Hartford Mutual Investment Fund, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements and financial
highlights of the Hartford Mutual Investment Fund, Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 1999, we considered its internal control, including control
activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements
and financial highlights and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not
to provide assurance on internal control.
The management of the Hartford Mutual Investment Fund, Inc. is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are
relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial
statements and financial highlights for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Those
controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud may occur
and may not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control
to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters
in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more
of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be
material in relation to the financial statements and financial highlights being
audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no
matters involving internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined
above as of December 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the
Board of Directors of the Hartford Mutual Investment Fund, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
