Answering the Call of Faith-Based Investors and Advisors

GuideStone Funds 2019 Lipper Award Winner

GuideStone Funds® provides a performance-driven, faith-based approach to investing.

Why we believe fund screening matters.

As the largest faith-based mutual fund family, GuideStone® is often asked, “Why screening?” Our answer is simple: because we know it’s of increased importance for investors to feel that they can align their personal values with their financial investment choices without compromising performance. GuideStone Funds provides mutual funds with diversified investment options across most major asset classes, managed with the goal of providing attractive, risk-adjusted returns for investors.

We believe our biblical values do impact the world for the better. GuideStone Funds received the 2019 Lipper Fund Award for Best Overall Small Fund Family, positioning us to deliver competitive, risk-adjusted performance without sacrificing our values. It's all part of our 100-year heritage of serving those who serve the Lord.

The GuideStone Funds family won the Lipper Fund Award for 2019 Best Overall Small Fund Family over 3 years (out of 29 eligible fund families as of November 30, 2018) based on risk-adjusted total return.

Do Well Do Right Do More

Performance + Values

Do Well. GuideStone was founded to ensure the basic needs of elderly pastors and their wives were met. Over the years, we’ve grown into a diversified financial services firm. One of our growth areas is mutual fund investing. Today, GuideStone Funds offers faith-based investors a diverse lineup of mutual funds aligned with deeply held Christian beliefs.

Do Right. We were an early adopter of an investment policy that restricts certain objectionable industries from inclusion in our portfolios. From the beginning, we understood that issues with companies are not black and white — a belief that has served us well as the global financial markets have become more complex and interconnected.

Do MORE. Investors have changed too. With the rise of faith-based investment options, there has been a change in the expectation of screened investments. GuideStone Funds understands this change and not only applies screening but also advocates for life, family, stewardship, health and safety directly with those companies that represent our fund holdings.

1 As of June 30, 2020, GuideStone Funds® has $14.2 billion in assets, which makes GuideStone Funds the nation’s largest faith-based mutual fund family. No other faith-based fund family exceeds GuideStone Funds in asset size.

The entire GuideStone Funds family won the Lipper Fund Award for 2019 Best Overall Small Company over 3 years (out of 29 eligible as of November 30, 2018). Based on risk-adjusted total return.

Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. The Funds may experience negative performance, and past performance does not guarantee future results. There can be no guarantee that any strategy (risk management or otherwise) will be successful.

The U.S. Lipper Fund Award for Best Overall Small Fund Family is based on a review of 29 fund families for 2019 and based on risk-adjusted performance for the three-year period ended November 30, 2018.

In order to qualify for Lipper’s Overall Small Fund Family Group Award, a fund family will need to have at least three distinct portfolios in each of the following asset classes: equity, bond and mixed-asset. An overall Group Award will be given to the fund family with the lowest average decile ranking of its respective asset class results based on the three-year Consistent Return measure of the eligible funds per asset class and group. The Lipper Leader for Consistent Return rating, which is a risk-adjusted performance measure, is calculated over 36, 60 and 120 months. The fund with the highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value in each eligible classification wins the Lipper Fund Award. The Lipper Fund Awards, granted annually, highlight funds and fund companies that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. Additional information is available at LipperFundAwards.com.

Group Award Methodology: For the 2019 Lipper Fund Awards from Refinitiv, a small fund family is defined as having assets of $76.8 billion or less.
