Confirmation statements are sent from your plan provider when the fees are withdrawn.

Why choose Stadion managed accounts over other QDIAs?
With Stadion's managed accounts your employees benefit from: 1. Active account managers who not only choose participants' investments, but who also can choose to reduce equity exposure altogether when it makes sense; 2. The opportunity to adjust portfolios by overriding age-based designations; 3. Personalized service, including a direct contact at Stadion, available by phone or email.
Why does Stadion offer a warranty on its QDIA?
Stadion does not shy away from its role as a pioneering leader in retirement plan services. We are confident that no one is better positioned to fulfill the critical obligations and responsibilities of a QDIA and are happy to stand behind our promises.
What does QDIA mean?
QDIA stands for Qualified Default Investment Alternative. QDIA's were created by the 2006 Pension Protection Act in addition to other automated features for retirement plans. Plan sponsors can now use a QDIA as the default investment for the plan and receive fiduciary protection for the assets in the QDIA. The plan sponsor must meet certain notice requirements to get the fiduciary protection. For more information please contact Investor Services at 800.222.7636.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investments are subject to risk, and any of Stadion's investment strategies may lose money. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's portfolio may be worth more or less than their original investment. The investment strategy presented is not appropriate for every investor and individual clients should review with their financial advisors the terms and conditions and risk involved with specific products or services. Stadion's actively managed portfolios may underperform during bull markets.
