Today, nearly one out of every four dollars coming into GuideStone retirement accounts is invested in a MyDestination fund. The MyDestination Funds provide a simpler approach to retirement planning. Investors need only choose the fund that corresponds closest to their retirement date. Each date target fund is a “fund of funds” with a diversified asset allocation that becomes more conservative as the participant moves to and through retirement. Investors are reminded to make consistent and age-appropriate retirement contributions throughout their career. While they are a simpler approach for investors, they are sophisticated Funds that are recognized by third-party rating firms. The MyDestination 2005, 2035 and 2045 funds each received three stars for their overall ratings and the MyDestination 2015 and 2025 funds each received four stars from Morningstar® for the period ending February 29, 2012, based on risk adjusted return. Morningstar’s overall rating represents a fund’s performance over its three-, five-, and (when applicable) 10-year period. In the case of the MyDestination Funds, which were launched in 2006, it currently relates to the Funds’ performance over three and five years, including the volatile 2008-2009 market downturn.
