Rebalance, a leading pro-consumer investment firm that is at the forefront of providing Americans with a fundamentally different and better set of retirement investment options, today congratulates investing authority and Rebalance Investment Committee Member Charles D. Ellis on being named one of Money Magazine’s “Champions of the Year.”

Every December, Money Magazine recognizes select individuals, products and services, organizations, and big ideas that have demonstrated a positive financial impact for consumers over the past year.

This year, Rebalance’s own Charles Ellis was awarded this honor as a result of his long-standing commitment to helping everyday consumers invest safer and more sensibly. “We’re proud to count Charley as an integral part of the Rebalance investment team,” said Scott Puritz, Managing Director at Rebalance. “We congratulate him on the well-deserved honor of being named a ‘Money Magazine Champion of the Year.’”

In October, Charles published The Index Revolution, which emphasizes the case that to achieve above average investing results, consumers should index. This same philosophy for index investing informs Rebalance’s investment strategies and approach to helping everyday consumers retire with more.
