Stadion Money Management, a money management firm known for its tactical investment solutions, recently announced the addition of a 401(k) managed account solution to Nationwide’s RIA Managed Accounts Services Platform. The platform helps 401(k) retirement plan participants identify someone to make investment decisions for them by providing professional money management and discretionary investment advice, and asset allocation strategies customized to meet their needs.
Stadion uses ETFs as the primary underlying investment vehicle in the risk-based managed account solution developed for Nationwide. ETFs are well suited for Stadion’s tactical asset allocation strategy because of the vast market segments available to invest in, as well as improved transparency and liquidity compared to mutual funds. A key component in the way Stadion manages money is it actively manages the ‘flex’ portion of its portfolios, adjusting it to manage market risk as determined by the firm’s investment model.
