Mutual funds for the values-based investor
GuideStone Funds is a family of Christian-based, socially screened mutual funds for individual and institutional investors. With $7.8 billion in assets under management (as of September 30, 2011), GuideStone Funds is the largest Christian-based, socially screened, registered mutual fund company.
Many investment options cost more than the capital you use; you may earn value but you could be expected to leave your values behind. Others specialize in Christian-friendly funds, but don't always deliver well enough on the financial side. What has made GuideStone Funds different is that our investors have not had to trade value for performance or performance for values. Our historical performance has proven to be competitive.
GuideStone Funds utilizes a “multi-manager” investment approach which provides access to multiple proven investment management firms within a single investment fund. The investment management firms utilized by GuideStone Funds have a specific purpose in each fund and are carefully selected based on a rigorous process utilizing both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investors are reminded that mutual fund investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
The MyDestination Funds (“Funds”) attempt to achieve their objectives by investing in the GuideStone Select Funds. The Funds are managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the percentage of fixed income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then approximately 15 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the Funds is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money. By investing in the Funds you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Funds will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which they invest. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Funds’ value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that they own. The amount invested in the Fund is not guaranteed to increase, is not guaranteed against loss, nor is the amount of the original investment guaranteed at the target date. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.
