C000080417 Investment Objective and Strategy

Stadion Tactical Defensive Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Stadion Investment Trust.

Investment objective

"The investment objective of the Stadion Tactical Defensive Fund (the ""Defensive Fund"") is to seek capital appreciation."

Principal investment strategy

"To achieve its investment objective, the Defensive Fund invests primarily in and allocates its investments primarily between Fund Investments (defined below) that the Adviser believes have the potential for capital appreciation and Cash Positions (defined below). ""Fund Investments"" include actively managed and index-based ETFs (exchange traded funds), mutual funds and other investment companies, groups of securities related by index or sector made available through certain brokers at a discount brokerage rate (such as stock baskets, baskets of bonds and other index-or sector-based groups of related securities) and options or futures positions (e.g., options or futures contracts on securities, securities indexes, currencies or other financial instruments) with respect to any of the foregoing intended to match or approximate their performance.

""Cash Positions"" include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments, such as money market instruments, U.S. government obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, and other cash or cash equivalent positions. In allocating the Defensive Fund's assets, the Adviser uses a proprietary, technically driven asset allocation model to determine current risk in the broad equity markets (reflected in the Adviser's model by a weighted average score) based on a number of technical indicators. The technical indicators examined by the Adviser are primarily focused on trend analysis, such as analysis of price trends (e.g., determining risk based on movements of market prices up or down), breadth trends (e.g., analyzing the ratio of the number of advancing stocks to declining stocks) and relative strength (e.g., comparing risk profiles of investment alternatives such as small cap vs.

large cap or growth vs. value). The Adviser then seeks to participate in markets and market sectors with low risk scores, while divesting its portfolio of investments in markets and market sectors with high risk scores. To participate in markets and market sectors, the Adviser's investment philosophy emphasizes purchasing Fund Investments, which the Adviser believes are a convenient way to invest in both broad market indexes (e.g., the S&P 500, Russell 2000, NASDAQ-100, MSCI EAFE, Barclays bond indexes, etc.) and market sector indexes (e.g., healthcare indexes, utilities indexes, real estate indexes, etc.). The Defensive Fund may invest up to 100% of its portfolio in Fund Investments that have portfolios comprised of equity securities of domestic or foreign companies of any size in any sector.

The Defensive Fund may also invest up to 100% of its portfolio in fixed-income Fund Investments that have portfolios comprised of domestic or foreign corporate and/or government bonds issued by any size company, municipality or government body in any sector of any maturity or yield, provided that corporate debt obligations are ""investment grade"" securities rated in one of the four highest rating categories by any one or more nationally recognized rating agencies or, if not rated, are of equivalent quality in the opinion of the Adviser. The Defensive Fund will generally invest as follows: The Core Position. Approximately 50% of the Defensive Fund's assets will be invested in one or more broad-based equity or fixed-income Fund Investments, such as funds with investments that reflect the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 2000 Index, the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Index, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, and the EAFE (Europe, Australia and Far East) Index, U.S.

Treasuries (including short-term U.S. Treasuries) or market sector Fund Investments, such as those tracking healthcare, utilities, real estate, financial, technology, consumer goods or other indexes (the ""Core Position""). The mix of investments within the Defensive Fund's Core Position may change frequently as the Adviser deems appropriate or necessary based upon its analysis and allocation models. However, through the Core Position, the Defensive Fund will be exposed to the performance of selected U.S. or international equity or debt markets as a whole, or sector indexes, regardless of market conditions or risk. The Satellite Position. Approximately 50% of the Defensive Fund's assets will be invested primarily in market sector Fund Investments, fixed-income Fund Investments, or Cash Positions using an allocation model and risk-based ranking system (the ""Satellite Position"").

The Satellite Position is not designed to hedge the Core Position; however, some investment positions may hedge, or have the effect of hedging, a portion of the Core Position from time to time. The Defensive Fund's Core Position will normally be fully invested in Fund Investments, and not in Cash Positions, in order to blend the benefits of the Core Position's market exposure to broad-based equity or fixed-income market or market sector indexes in varying market conditions with the Satellite Position's market-sector, fixed-income and Cash Position rotation investing strategy. The Defensive Fund may invest in options or futures positions for speculative purposes, when the Adviser determines that they provide a more efficient way to increase/reduce the Defensive Fund's overall exposure to an industry or sector than buying/selling other Fund Investments, or to hedge against risks of investments in the Defensive Fund's portfolio or markets generally.

In general, the Defensive Fund will not purchase or sell futures contracts or related options unless either (i) the futures contracts or options thereon are purchased for ""bona fide hedging"" purposes (as defined under regulations promulgated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (""CFTC"")); or (ii) if purchased for other purposes, (A) the sum of the amounts of initial margin deposits on the Defensive Fund's existing futures and premiums required to establish non-hedging positions, less the amount by which any such options positions are ""in-the-money"" (as defined under CFTC regulations) would not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Defensive Fund's total assets, or (B) the aggregate net notional value of commodity futures, commodity options contracts, or swaps positions, determined at the time the most recent position was established, does not exceed 100 percent of the liquidation value of the of the Defensive Fund's total assets."
