GuideStone Funds won the Lipper Fund Awards for 2012 Best Overall Small Company Award (1 of 182 eligible as of November 30, 2011), 2013 Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Fund Award-3 year (1 out of 92 funds as of November 30, 2012), 2014 Corporate Debt A-Rated Fund Award-3 year (1 out of 57 funds as of November 30, 2013), 2014 Corporate Debt A-Rated Fund Award-5 year (1 out of 51 funds as of November 30, 2013), 2015 Corporate Debt A-Rated Fund Award-3 year (1 out of 44 funds as of November 30, 2014) and 2015 Corporate Debt A-Rated Fund Award-5 year (1 out of 41 funds as of November 30, 2014). Awards are based on risk-adjusted total return. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk- Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) As of September 30, 2015, GuideStone Funds has $9.8 billion in assets, which makes GuideStone Funds the nation s largest Christian-screened mutual fund family. No other fund family with a Christian screen exceeds GuideStone Funds in asset size.
