How about those Senior Floating Rate Loan funds?  Still can't offer those?

I don't want to, but Hartford has one I could use if I did.

Let me correct you mr hulk.  YOU CANT SELL THAT FUND! If you don't believe me try to place an order here are the symbols (A share HFLAX or C share HFLCX) Those are the only two classes use so I dont know the B share symbol sorry(probably HFLBX). 

As for not wanting to use a floating rate fund, may I ask why?  I can tell you that I use them in most of my allocation models.  They are ideal for the rising rate environment we are in.

greenthingy said "Yes, it is a lot of exceptions. I can buy any stock over $1, so yes I can buy just about any ole' stock."

Perhaps your firm has really loosen up their grip on permitted practices could you tell me since when does your firm permit solicited BUYS for stocks under $5/share and what is your payout on those purchase?????

My bet:  Jones will finally allow floating rate funds once rates start declining.

Hartford's sucks anyway.

I can't believe that you are actually using Hartford as an example, now that is ironic....

Noggin -

I’ll throw Hartford Cap Ap against just about any fund. A lot of turnover, so it does create a lot of cap gains, but inside an IRA it is a phenomenal fund.

eddjones - Solicted orders under $5 are not an issue, the payout, which is 0, is. Who in their right mind builds a book on penny stocks though?

That sounds just as illogical as building a book almost entirely on A share mutual funds and with one fund family.

Incredible- The problem doesn't lie with Cap App but if the client's needs change where in the world do you go in Hartford to find a GI fund that is worthwhile. BTW, turnover is an enemy to the long term investor....

Yep. I hate turnover, also. That’s why I still own my WCOM I bought @ 44. NOT!
