GuideStone ranked among top 10 recordkeepers in annual survey

July 9, 2009

DALLAS — PLANSPONSOR magazine, in its 11th annual Defined Contribution Recordkeeping Survey, ranked GuideStone Financial Resources as the No. 10 recordkeeper among 403(b) plans.

GuideStone is the only denominational pension board included on the top-10 list of 403(b) recordkeepers.

“This acknowledgment from PLANSPONSOR confirms what we already knew, and that is GuideStone is large enough to be ranked with the largest financial institutions in our land,” said GuideStone President O.S. Hawkins. “What we also know to be true is that our assets are made up of the individual accounts of men and women who entrust their retirement security to GuideStone.”

The PLANSPONSOR survey is reported in the magazine’s June 2009 issue. PLANSPONSOR provided a questionnaire asking for “approximately 322 different data points pertaining to each provider’s product and service capabilities.” The magazine said it received 80 complete responses. The magazine focuses its survey on Defined Contribution plans — generally 403(b), 401(k) and 457 plans.

PLANSPONSOR, through its magazine, website and other media, has provided coverage of the pension and benefit arena for more than 16 years. Full information about the PLANSPONSOR ranking can be found on GuideStone’s website.
