Lipper Rankings for GuideStone Funds

The Lipper rankings are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds within a universe of funds having similar investment objectives. Rankings are based on total return performance:  with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front-end or back-end sales charges. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns.
