The fund seeks capital appreciation in the long term and current income by investing in companies across any size outside the United States.

The fund prefers a multi-manager investing approach with the aim of reducing volatility and downside risk.

The fund manages assets with the help of two sub-advisers namely RREEF America L.L.C. and Heitman Real Estate Securities LLC.

The sub-advisers’ investment process starts with a list of companies in the benchmark index and the research team utilizes quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to identify investment opportunities.

Next, the research team invests in securities of real estate investment trusts and other real estate related companies.

The team defines a real estate related company as one that derives at least 50% of its revenue from, or has at least 50% of the value of its assets in, real estate, including the ownership, construction, management or sale of real estate.

In addition, the team favors companies that have the potential to provide superior returns and a record of paying dividends.

The team also prefers companies that demonstrate the potential for stock price appreciation.

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

The manager will allocate the fund’s net assets among no less than three countries.

The fund may at times be more concentrated in particular sub-sectors of the real estate industry, such as apartments, retail, hotels, offices, industrial, health care and others, depending on market conditions.

Additionally, the fund will invest significantly in securities of non-U.S. issuers.

An issuer is considered to be from the country where it is headquartered or incorporated, where the majority of its assets are located or where it generates the majority of its operating income.

Furthermore, the fund may invest its uninvested cash in high-quality, short-term debt securities, or in the GuideStone Funds Money Market Fund.

Also, the fund may not invest in any company whose products, services or activities are publicly recognized as being incompatible with the moral and ethical posture of GuideStone Financial Resources.
