The fund seeks capital appreciation in the long term and income by investing in mid-and large-size companies in the United States.

The fund manages assets by hiring sub-advisers and currently works with five. To reduce volatility and downside risk, the fund prefers a multi-manager investing approach.

The sub-advisors are Brown Advisory, LLC, ClearBridge Investments, LLC, Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC, and Sands Capital Management, LLC.

The sub-advisers’ investment process focuses on companies that have above-average revenue and earnings growth potential.

Next, the sub-advisers rely on fundamental techniques to select companies on the basis of factors such as revenue and earnings growth or unanticipated positive earnings.

Then the manager constructs a diversified portfolio from a list of companies in the benchmark index favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level.

The manager may at times focus its investments in one or a few particular economic sectors.

The fund has the flexibility to invest its uninvested cash in high-quality, short-term debt securities, which may include repurchase agreements and high-quality money market instruments.

The fund also may invest uninvested cash in the GuideStone Funds Money Market Fund.

However, the fund may not invest in any company that is publicly recognized, as determined by GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention as being in the alcohol, tobacco, gambling, pornography or abortion industries.

The fund also avoids investing in any company whose products, services or activities are publicly recognized as being incompatible with the moral and ethical posture of GuideStone Financial Resources.
