Guardian Retirement Solutions™ has added 15 new investment options to its lineup of retirement products, the firm announced Aug. 24.
The additions include offerings from new fund families such as Pioneer and Virtus, as well as ones from existing fund families, including T. Rowe Price, BlackRock and Wells Fargo. Health and technology sector funds from Janus have also been added. The new offerings increase the total number of funds available in The Guardian Choice® to 135 and in The Guardian Advantage® to 108.
In addition, the Stadion Maximum Growth Portfolio has been added to the QDIA Managed Account Service provided by Stadion Money Management LLC (Stadion). The new portfolio is designed to give younger, less risk-averse investors the potential to capture more market gains while still being defensively managed to provide downside protection in severe down markets.
With the additions, Guardian “is addressing the diverse needs of plan sponsors in the micro- and small-plan markets who are seeking a broad selection of fund choices for their plan participants,” said Douglas Dubitsky, a vice president at the firm.
