According to Gurinder S. Ahluwalia, President and CEO of GFWM, "Trying to navigate the recent volatility by using asset allocation strategies developed during the powerful bull market of the 1980s and 90s has resulted in steep losses for many investors. Unfortunately, many portfolios lacked a more active, tactical component that may have helped reduce volatility over the last year or two."
Since the inception of the firm in 1991, Stadion has used an unconstrained tactical asset allocation strategy. This strategy removes the limits on the extent and frequency of allocation shifts, allowing Stadion to move completely from equities to cash or from cash to equities in response to the risk level of the market. Employing this approach over the last 14 years has allowed Stadion to produce solid market-like returns with significant reductions in all risk measures.
Stadion's president, Jud Doherty stated, "We are excited about partnering with GFWM. We believe Stadion's approach to asset allocation offers an outstanding complement to GFWM's investment platform and that we can play a key role in helping their advisors customize investment plans that meet their clients' financial needs."
