PMFM Inc. Changes Name to Stadion Money Management
May 1, 2009
Seizing the opportunity to stand out in a troubled market, PMFM, Inc., a registered investment advisor in Athens, Georgia, has changed its corporate name to Stadion Money Management.
The PMFM Managed Fund, which has been a top performer* over the last 12 months according to Morningstar, has been renamed the Stadion Managed Fund (ETFFX). The PMFM Core Advantage Fund has been renamed the Stadion Core Advantage Fund (ETFRX). The company's separately managed account services will be known as the Stadion Select.
Why rebrand?
As PMFM evolved, neither the name, Personal Mutual Fund Management, nor the acronym described the company's focus. Additionally, the new name unites the money manager with its popular retirement account management service, 401k Toolbox, which will change its name to Stadion Retirement on July 1.
Why "Stadion"?
Stadion's investment method, called "winning by not losing," focuses on capturing most of the market's good times and miss most of its bad times. Losing less when the market goes down means investors have less to make up when the market rebounds. It is an approach that resonates with investors who want to earn a solid return over time, without worrying about suffering big losses in tough times.
In ancient Greece, the stadion was the most important and prestigious foot race. "Planning for retirement is very much like a race, because it requires consistent discipline, careful planning, and smart pacing to win," said Tim Chapman, CEO. "Our new tagline 'Start smart, finish strong' reinforces that philosophy."
