Hartford chalked up $779 million in mutual fund net sales in the third quarter, down 4.5 percent from a year ago. Fund deposits totaled $3.1 billion, compared with $3.6 billion in the same period last year.

For the fourth quarter, Hartford officials are forecasting deposits of between $3 billion and $3.5 billion, and net flows in the range of $800 million to $1.3 billion.
