Investment Objective:The fund seeks capital appreciation with modest current income.

Investment Strategy:The fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combines a greater percentage of stock investments with a smaller percentage of fixed-income investments. The fund has a target of, but is not limited to, an asset allocation of 25% Fixed Income Select Funds, 49% U.S. Equity Select Funds, and 26% Non-U.S. Equity Select Fund.

Investment Suitability:This fund may be suitable for investors who have a long-term investment horizon, possess a relatively high tolerance for risk and seek to participate in the return potential of stocks at a slightly lower risk level than an all stock portfolio. Foreign securities may be subject to greater risk than domestic securities due to currency volatility, reduced market liquidity and political and economic instability. Small company stocks are subject to greater risk than large company stocks due to more volatility and less liquidity. This fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings that on short duration holdings.

The Fund attempts to achieve its objective by investing in the GuideStone Select Funds. By investing in the Fund 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. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
