Asset management firm Gartmore has been selected by Hartford Life Limited, a subsidiary of The Hartford Financial Services Group, to be one of 13 fund providers offered to the US financial services and insurance company's customers.
The Gartmore funds available through The Hartford’s products include the Gartmore cautious managed fund, Gartmore European selected opportunities fund, Gartmore UK focus fund, and the Gartmore US opportunities fund.
The funds are available through Hartford gold – a unit-linked investment bond, Hartford platinum – a guaranteed income drawdown product, and through the Hartford trustee investment plan.
Mike Kalen, president and CEO of Hartford Life Limited, commented: We believe the addition of Gartmore funds brings further choice and investment expertise from a recognized name in the UK fund management industry. Gartmore’s funds, together with those sourced both internally and from our other select partners, will create a truly compelling proposition for The Hartford’s customers, who really stand to benefit from discussing the asset allocation of their investments with their independent financial advisers.
