This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a medium- to long-term investment horizon, seek higher returns than those offered by a shorter maturity bond fund, can accept short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio with a globally diversified fixed income investment option.
This Fund may invest, to a large extent, in high yield securities ("junk bonds"). These securities involve greater risks of default, are more volatile than bonds rated investment grade and are inherently speculative. Obligations of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets often have more political and economic instability. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing fixed income securities decreases and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long-duration holdings than on short-duration holdings. This description of risks is provided as a summary of the principal investment risks associated with this mutual fund. Refer to the Fund's prospectus for more detailed risk information.

^ The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index – Unhedged is a flagship measure of global investment grade debt. This multi-currency benchmark includes treasury, government-related, corporate and securitized fixed-rate bonds from both developed and emerging markets issuers. The Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index – 2% Issuer Capped is an issuer-constrained version of the flagship Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield Index, which measures the U.S. dollar-denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market. The index follows the same rules as the uncapped version but limits the exposure of each issuer to 2% of the total market value and redistributes any excess market value index-wide on a pro rata basis. . “Bloomberg®”, Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index- Unhedged and Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index – 2% Issuer Capped are service marks of Bloomberg Finance L.P. and its affiliates, including Bloomberg Index Services Limited (“BISL”), the administrator of the index (collectively, “Bloomberg”) and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention (“GuideStone Financial Resources”) and its affiliates.

Duration — A measure of the sensitivity, or volatility, of fixed income investments to changes in interest rates.

Beta vs. Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index — Beta is a measure of a fund's sensitivity to market movements as defined by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.
