GuideStone announces new fund and category names

June 2, 2008

DALLAS — GuideStone Funds today announced that its Blended Funds category and the Funds within that category have undergone name changes. Each of the GuideStone Funds Blended Funds is a “fund of funds” and invests in a different mix of GuideStone Funds Select Funds to meet a specified investment strategy. For example, the Flexible Income Fund, through investment in the Select Funds, combines a greater percentage of fixed-income securities (Select Fixed-Income Funds) with a smaller percentage of equity securities (Select Equity Funds) to achieve an overall allocation of approximately 75% fixed income and 25% equities.

The Blended Funds are now the Asset Allocation Funds. The names of the Funds, along with their previous names and target asset allocations, follow1:

Name (as of June 1, 2008) Previous Name Target Allocation
Conservative Allocation Fund Flexible Income Fund 75% fixed income/25% equities
Balanced Allocation Fund Growth & Income Fund 50% fixed income/50% equities
Growth Allocation Fund Capital Opportunities Fund 25% fixed income/75% equities
Aggressive Allocation Fund Global Equity Fund 100% equities

“These changes were made to help our participants understand the application of their Funds and to better reflect industry-standard terminology,” said GuideStone Financial Resources’ chief operating officer John R. Jones. “While the term ‘Blended Funds’ and the names of the Blended Funds have served GuideStone well, we believe that more descriptive names will better serve both current and potential investors.”

GuideStone Funds is the nation’s largest provider of Christian-based, socially screened registered mutual funds.


1These name changes also apply to the “I” series of the Asset Allocation Funds.
