FROM THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER

 

LOGO    One of Charles Dickens’ famous books is titled A Tale of Two Cities, which paints a picture of life in London and Paris during the late 1700’s. Today, from an economic, market sentiment and capital market return perspective, I would characterize calendar year 2016 as “A Tale of Two Halves” as there were distinct differences in the economic/financial market environments during the first half of the year compared to the latter. The calendar year 2016 was one full of uncertainty and surprises, causing investor sentiment to shift, especially as the year progressed. While most financial assets posted positive returns during the year, the divergence in returns across asset classes, style-orientation, asset quality and market capitalizations were material. Furthermore, financial asset returns, in general, were driven by macro-economic/political themes and investors’ desired exposures more so than a focus on investing in companies with favorable underlying fundamentals. Therefore, exposure to certain factors (e.g., yield or market capitalization) and/or sectors had a greater impact on investors’ returns than underlying security selection.
Matt L. Peden, CFA   

The tale of the first half of 2016 was somewhat of a continuation of calendar year 2015. The economic backdrop was one consistent with of all the risks associated with a maturing economic cycle, slowing global growth, ineffective monetary policy and a long-in-the-tooth equity bull market entering its eighth year. Investors, realizing they were in a low absolute return environment, were faced with the conundrum of investing in fixed income with very low interest rates or equities that were considered somewhat expensive at high valuations relative to expected earnings growth. During this period, certain segments of the equity market, considered defensive, had higher dividends than bond yields. With a prevailing risk-off sentiment and desire for yields that exceeded those available from investment grade bonds, there was high demand for certain high dividend paying stocks (e.g., utilities), which led to certain stocks outperforming as investors sought current yield (i.e., dividend income) over the prospects of price appreciation based on future corporate earnings.

The tale of the second half of 2016 transitioned as investors’ risk-appetite increased. Entering into the third quarter, the equity markets were spurred by the expectations for additional global central bank stimulus, such as quantitative easing (“QE”), due to the Brexit vote. This caused interest rates to fall and equities to rise as price/earnings multiples expanded in the continued search for the best asset case on a relative basis. In fact, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to an all-time low of 1.36% in July, while all three major U.S. equity indices hit all-time highs in August.

Then in the 4th quarter, the biggest driver of the markets, without question, was the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. Prior to his election, many market pundits warned of a severe market correction if he won the election. Following a very short-lived plunge, equity markets rallied while bond yields soared under the premise that his policies will buoy economic growth from current sluggish levels that will, in turn, lead to higher corporate earnings and greater levels of inflation. By year-end, most risk assets posted annual returns well above beginning-of-the year expectations, with stock indices hitting multiple new all-time highs.

The only consistency threaded throughout 2016 was the number of unique, unexpected events or shocks that occurred. There were many, but a few are noteworthy:

 

   

Brexit – Despite convincing polling information to the contrary, the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union (“EU”) led to concerns and fears related to the potential impact to these economies, which were already facing headwinds and under pressure. It further led to questions about the long-term viable future of the EU, and the resurgence of global central bank monetary stimulus.

 

   

Extreme Accommodative Monetary Policy – Central banks in Europe and Japan implemented additional QE leading to an unprecedented environment of negative interest rates across many financial markets, and extreme levels of liquidity across the globe. In fact, central bank balance sheets rose by more than 10% during the year, reflecting these actions. Notable, this led to further divergence in monetary policy between global central banks and that of the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), which remains in a tightening, i.e. rate rising, mode.

 

   

Lack of confidence in the Fed – Throughout the year, and prior to their 25 basis point rate hike in December, expectations as to the Fed’s next moves consistently changed based on the most recent economic reports and global economic conditions, materially influencing the U.S. yield curve, especially on the short-end. Short- and mid-term interest rates experienced material moves during the year, subjecting bond investors to interest rate risk.

U.S. Presidential Election – Opposing almost all polls, Donald Trump was surprisingly elected President of the United States, resulting in the potential for material fiscal stimulus, including tax reform, reduced regulatory pressures and increased infrastructure and defense spending. Trump’s election, in concert with the Brexit vote, also reflects a larger change in the “populist movement” across political environments on a global basis as a “vote against the status quo.” His election resulted in large fund flows into certain economically sensitive sectors, such as financials and defense, which are expected to benefit from his policies.

Capital Market Returns

Let’s now discuss the returns of the capital markets for calendar year 2016. The table below provides an overview of key capital market returns.

Outside certain commodities, U.S. equities were the top performing asset classes. Going into 2016, return expectations were below historical averages due to slowing economic conditions, modest earnings growth and high valuations (based on existing earnings expectations). However, U.S. stocks flourished during the year, benefiting from further accommodative monetary policy globally as well as the prospects of incremental higher economic domestic growth under Trump’s presidency. Trump’s policies are viewed as a transition from monetary policy stimulus to fiscal policy stimulus, which is generally viewed positively in the current stage of the economic cycle, but can lead to increased volatility as markets adjust.

In addition to dispersions in sector returns, there were a few notable outcomes in the U.S. equity market. First, value-oriented stocks greatly outpaced growth-oriented stocks. The best performing segment of the U.S. market was small-cap value with the Russell 2000® Value Index posting an annual return of 31.74%. Small-cap stocks materially outperformed large-cap stocks by 9.35% as small cap stocks were viewed more favorably given they are more domestic–oriented, which should help weather them from Trump’s proposed trade policies and the strengthening U.S. dollar. Stocks of non-U.S. developed markets lagged U.S. stocks, posting an annual return of 1.00%. Slower economic growth, reliance on further monetary policy and an appreciating U.S. dollar negatively impacted performance. Emerging markets stocks outperformed their developed markets counterpart, generating an annual return of 11.19%, benefitting from prospects of higher economic growth, stronger commodity prices and attractive valuations. However, emerging markets stocks suffered in the 4th quarter as rising U.S. interest rates and a rapidly appreciating U.S. dollar diminished prospects for near term capital flows into these markets.

Most bond segments posted modest positive returns with a few, higher risk segments, performing much better. The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy for the U.S. broad bond market, generated an annual return of 2.65%. Within the index, investment grade corporate bonds performed best, as investors were seeking yield and were willing to take on the incremental credit risk for the higher return. In general, the lower the credit quality, the better the return for the year, reflecting the “risk on” environment that persisted during the second half of the year. U.S. Treasuries, a large sector in the index, posted the lowest return within the index. High yield bonds, or corporate bonds rated below investment grade, posted an annual return of 17.13%. Emerging market debt performance was also meaningful, up 9.62%. The year ended with yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury and the 30-year U.S. Treasury at 2.48% and 3.08%, respectively.

Despite accommodative monetary policies by central banks and historic amounts of liquidity in the markets, inflation expectations remained rather benign, adjusting upward some during the latter part of the year. Several areas of the commodity markets performed well, as noted by the MSCI World Commodities Producers Index which was up 30.53% for the year. Notably, a significant increase in WTI crude oil prices from the low of $26/bbl in February to $54/bbl at year-end was a positive for the economy and financial markets. Many view oil in the $50/bbl - $60/bbl range as the “sweet spot” for both producers and consumers.

After reflecting on 2016, what are our thoughts on the upcoming year?

The landscape changed during 2016, but many of the same headwinds and concerns still exist and will eventually have to be dealt with. The U.S. stock market and other risk-based assets are coming off a tremendous return year, buoyed to high valuation levels by the prospects of incrementally higher economic growth (consensus estimated increase from 2.00% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 3.00% GDP in 2017) primarily due to Trump’s economic plans. These plans are expected to stimulate in 2017 and must do so in order to support current valuation multiples, especially if rates rise. The ability of the domestic economy to generate above trend growth that results in improved corporate earnings remains a primary concern of ours, as current valuation levels reflect a very robust growth in 2017 earnings. Headwinds could come from Trump’s plan to restrict trade, China’s continued economic challenges, an appreciating U.S. dollar and the expected decline in global monetary stimulus. In addition, with the uncertainties associated with a new Presidential administration, we could well face a worsening geopolitical landscape. With these challenges, we anticipate volatility to increase as the markets and investors absorb new fiscal based policies and economic challenges.

We would expect U.S. rates to rise somewhat with the consensus being for the Fed to hike rates two to three times during 2017. This is expected to be somewhat bearish for bond investors, but many see less interest rate sensitive sectors, such as investment grade corporate and high yield bonds, as options as long as the economy remains on track and defaults stay low. In addition, note that a gradual increase in both short and long term interest rates is normal at this stage in the economic cycle, and will only occur if the economy is growing at a reasonable pace.

The improvement in sentiment and the potential for fiscal stimulus is a good sign as we move into 2017. We continue to encourage investors to ensure their portfolio is well diversified and corresponds with their underlying risk/return profile. Often higher volatility leads to greater temptation to move away from the appropriate long-term asset allocation. Remember, investing is a long-term process and diversification is key. Also, given the prospects for lower absolute returns, it is prudent for investors to review their savings rate. Any ability to increase savings would be beneficial, especially for those nearing retirement.

On behalf of GuideStone Capital Management, LLC, I would like to thank you for your confidence and trust and for the opportunity to manage assets on your behalf. We consider it a privilege to work diligently on your investment portfolio. Wishing you a happy and prosperous year ahead.

S&P 500® Index Returns

The U.S. large-cap equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, posted a robust annual return of 12.0%. This marks the eighth straight year of gains for large-cap equities, a rare occurrence in the capital markets. Equity markets did not just go up in a straight line, however. After an approximate 11% performance correction into February to start the year, the S&P 500® Index re-entered a bull market run with a sharp rebound in March followed by robust gains in the third and fourth quarters.

Stocks finally posted positive earnings growth in the third quarter, following a five quarter earnings recession. This upturn in corporate profitability, along with upbeat economic data and a “Trump bump” post the surprise election win, helped push the S&P 500® Index to new highs during the fourth quarter.

The gains in large-cap stocks for the year was broader based, unlike gains posted in stocks the prior year that were narrowly driven by a few names. All sectors had positive performance, with the exception of the healthcare sector that ended down 2.7% for the year. Energy, telecom and financials led gains with returns of 27.4%, 23.5% and 22.8%, respectively.

Russell 2000® Index Returns

The U.S. small cap equity market, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, posted a very strong gain of 21.3% during 2016. Gains for small cap stocks were back-end loaded, with the index up 9.1% and 8.8% in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. A material portion of these gains came after a surprise Trump victory, which the market took as a particularly bullish scenario for smaller capitalization stocks based on the potential for pro-growth initiatives.

The best performing sectors during the annual period included energy, materials and financials, while healthcare was the sole sector posting negative returns. Rising commodity prices during the year (crude oil prices rallied roughly 50%) were a tail-wind for the energy and materials sectors, after a difficult adjustment period over the preceding few years.

MSCI EAFE Index Returns

International developed market equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose a modest 1.0% during the year. This index materially underperformed the U.S. market, in part due to a stronger U.S. dollar. As evidence, this index in local currency terms returned 5.3% for the year. In addition, many major developed economies outside the United States, such as those in Europe, faced a more challenging economic and political backdrop in comparison to the United States.

The best performing countries were natural resource export economies including Norway, New Zealand and Australia, which benefited from commodity price strength. Meanwhile, the worst performers included Denmark and Israel.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index Returns

International emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, gained 11.2% during the year, but still did not overcome losses experienced during a difficult 2015. All gains occurred during the first three quarters of the year. There was a pullback in November seemingly due to investor angst around the potential for higher interest rates under a Trump administration, as well as the unknown factor of more protectionist trade policies. Higher interest rates and a stronger U.S. dollar would have a negative impact on the financing costs for emerging market economies.

Countries with the strongest gains for the year, with rallies in excess of 50%, included Brazil, Russia and Peru (some of the positive performance was due to currency fluctuations). Meanwhile, both Egypt and Greece experienced double digit losses in U.S. dollar terms. Countries with the larger gains were generally those that rely on commodity exports to drive their economies.

Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index Returns

The broad U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, produced a gain of 2.7% during 2016. Lower quality investment grade bonds outperformed higher quality, and longer duration bonds outperformed shorter duration. From a sector perspective, corporate bonds were the best performers, while U.S. Treasury bonds lagged. All sectors of the bond market produced positive returns for the year, and certain longer-duration bonds, both government and credit, had performance in the low double digits.

After experiencing surprisingly robust gains during the first nine months of the year on the back of ever lower yields, bonds sold-off notably in the fourth quarter, particularly those with longer durations, as investors shied away from this asset class. In particular, a surprise Trump victory caused a substantial repricing given the prospect for higher interest rates under his administration due to potential reflationary policies.

 

LOGO

The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark representing approximately 8,200 U.S. dollar-denominated, taxable fixed income securities. To be included in this market capitalization-weighted index, bonds must be rated investment grade quality by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s and have a maturity of at least one year. The types of fixed income instruments in this index primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities, government-related securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and corporate bonds.

Federal Reserve

The members of the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) only managed one interest rate increase in 2016, despite beginning the year with an outlook for four rate increases. Expectations for rate increases ebbed and flowed throughout the year based on the most recent economic reports and global economic conditions. Finally, the FOMC voted in December to raise the target Fed Funds rate by 0.25% to a range of 0.50% - 0.75%, roughly one year after it moved off of a “zero” interest rate policy in December 2015. The markets adjusted well to the continuation of the Fed “tightening cycle”, as interest rate increases experienced on the short-end of the curve have thus far not reduced the risk appetite of investors. At its December meeting, the FOMC published its “dot plot points”, which projected three additional interest rate increases during 2017 - 2018, based on a median of the points should economic forecasts set by the FOMC be obtained.

 

LOGO

The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) is the central bank of the United States. It was created by Congress to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. The Federal Funds Rate is the interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances at the Fed to other depository institutions overnight. The rate is one tool the Fed can use in their efforts of controlling the supply of money. Changes in the Federal Funds Rate trigger a chain of events that affect other short-term interest rates, foreign exchange rates, long-term interest rates, the amount of money and credit, and, ultimately, a range of economic variables, including employment, output and prices of goods and services.

U.S. Treasury Yield Curve

The year experienced significant volatility in interest rates, despite an interest rate curve that finished the year with a modest, mostly parallel shift higher compared to 2015. The very short-end of the curve experienced a notable uptick in rates, as three-month interest rates moved higher in concert with FOMC actions to raise the range for the Fed Funds rate in December 2016 by 25 basis points. The 10-year U.S. Treasury ended the year at 2.45%, modestly higher that its starting yield of 2.27%. However, during the year, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell as low as 1.36% in July on expectations of the continuation of a very accommodative monetary policy around the globe with little risk of inflation. By the end of the year, many pundits believed that the low experience in July marked the bottom in interest rates, after rates had been on a downward trend since their 1981 peak of 15.84% reached roughly 35 years ago.

The Treasury yield curve illustrates the relationship between yields on short-term, intermediate-term and long-term Treasury securities. Normally, the shape of the yield curve is upward sloping with rates increasing from the short end of the curve moving higher to the long end. The short end of the curve is impacted more by monetary policy (demand for money) while inflationary expectations and market forces impact the long end of the curve.

About Your Expenses (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, shareholder services fees, as well as other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. The Annualized Expense Ratio may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

MyDestination 2005 Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a greater percentage of exposure to fixed-income securities with a smaller percentage allocated to equity and real assets securities. The Fund followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 55.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 20.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 7.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 18.00% Real Asset Select Funds as of December 31, 2016.

As a fund of funds, the Fund’s performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Fund generated a return of 5.07% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. Contribution to performance from the U.S. Equity Select Funds was positive for absolute performance. The Defensive Market Strategies Fund was the largest Equity Select Fund contributor to absolute performance, benefiting from volatility and strong alpha generation. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added modestly to performance. Non-U.S. developed equity markets underperformed their U.S. counterpart due to slower economic growth, a strengthening U.S. dollar and a reliance on further monetary policy. The Fund’s fixed-income allocation meaningfully added to investment returns, as the Low-Duration Bond Fund was the largest contributor overall. Real assets were a significant driver of positive absolute performance, led by the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund which benefited from the rally in commodity prices during the year.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (5.07% versus 4.69%). The largest contributors to relative outperformance were the Defensive Market Strategies Fund and the Low-Duration Bond Fund. The largest negative detractor to relative performance was the Growth Equity Fund.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in the Select Funds. The Fund is managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then approximately 12 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the Fund is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money. This Fund may be suitable for investors who want a simplified “one fund” retirement solution, are willing to pay slightly higher fees to get a diversified mix of investments that becomes more conservative over time and retired at an age that was near the year 2005. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. There is a risk that the issuer of a fixed-income investment may fail to pay interest or even principal due in a timely manner or at all. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to business developments concerning a particular issuer, industry or country, as well as general market and economic conditions. The Fund is subject to risks presented by investments in foreign issuers, and changes in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect the values of foreign investments held by the Select Funds. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Fund will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which it invests. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. The amount invested in the Fund is not guaranteed to increase, is not guaranteed against loss nor is the amount of the original investment guaranteed at the target date. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The construction of the composite index corresponds to the target percentage allocations to the underlying asset classes as represented by the Fund’s investment in the Select Funds. As the target percentage allocations to the underlying investments change according to the MyDestination Funds® glide path, the target percentage allocations to the composite index also change. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a greater percentage of exposure to equity securities with a smaller percentage allocated to fixed-income and real assets securities.

MyDestination 2025 Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a greater percentage of exposure to equity securities with smaller percentages allocated to fixed-income and real assets securities. The Fund followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 26.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 46.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 20.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 8.00% Real Asset Select Funds as of December 31, 2016.

As a fund of funds, the Fund’s performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Fund generated a return of 8.01% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. Contribution to performance from the U.S. Equity Select Funds was positive for absolute performance. The Defensive Market Strategies Fund was the largest Equity Select Fund contributor to absolute performance, benefiting from volatility and strong alpha generation. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added modestly to performance. Non-U.S. developed equity markets underperformed their U.S. counterpart due to slower economic growth, a strengthening U.S. dollar and a reliance on further monetary policy. The Fund’s fixed-income allocation meaningfully added to investment returns, and the Global Bond Fund was the largest Fixed Income Select Fund contributor. Real assets were a significant driver of positive absolute performance, led by the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund which benefited from the rally in commodity prices during the year.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (8.01% versus 7.71%). The largest contributors to relative outperformance were the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund and the Defensive Market Strategies Fund. The largest negative detractor to relative performance was the Growth Equity Fund.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in the Select Funds. The Fund is managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then approximately 12 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the Fund is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money. This Fund may be suitable for investors who want a simplified “one fund” retirement solution, are willing to pay slightly higher fees to get a diversified mix of investments that becomes more conservative over time and plan to retire at an age that is near the year 2025. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. There is a risk that the issuer of a fixed-income investment may fail to pay interest or even principal due in a timely manner or at all. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to business developments concerning a particular issuer, industry or country, as well as general market and economic conditions. The Fund is subject to risks presented by investments in foreign issuers, and changes in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect the values of foreign investments held by the Select Funds. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Fund will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which it invests. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. The amount invested in the Fund is not guaranteed to increase, is not guaranteed against loss nor is the amount of the original investment guaranteed at the target date. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

MyDestination 2045 Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a high percentage of exposure to equity securities with only modest percentages allocated to fixed-income and real assets securities. The Fund followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 11.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 55.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 29.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 5.00% Real Asset Select Funds as of December 31, 2016.

As a fund of funds, the Fund’s performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Fund generated a return of 8.45% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. Contribution to performance from the U.S. Equity Select Funds was positive for absolute performance. The Value Equity Fund was the largest Equity Select Fund contributor to absolute performance, as value stocks outperformed growth stocks for the year. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added modestly to performance. Non-U.S. developed equity markets underperformed their U.S. counterpart due to slower economic growth, a strengthening U.S. dollar and a reliance on further monetary policy. The Fund’s fixed-income allocation meaningfully added to investment returns, and the Global Bond Fund was the largest Fixed Income Select Fund contributor. Real assets were a positive contributor to absolute performance, led by the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund which benefited from the rally in commodity prices during the year.

The Fund underperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (8.45% versus 9.90%). The largest contributors to relative underperformance were the Growth Equity Fund and the Value Equity Fund. The largest contributors to relative performance were the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in the Select Funds. The Fund is managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then approximately 12 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the Fund is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money. This Fund may be suitable for investors who want a simplified “one fund” retirement solution, are willing to pay slightly higher fees to get a diversified mix of investments that becomes more conservative over time and plan to retire at an age that is near the year 2045. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. There is a risk that the issuer of a fixed-income investment may fail to pay interest or even principal due in a timely manner or at all. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to business developments concerning a particular issuer, industry or country, as well as general market and economic conditions. The Fund is subject to risks presented by investments in foreign issuers, and changes in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect the values of foreign investments held by the Select Funds. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Fund will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which it invests. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. The amount invested in the Fund is not guaranteed to increase, is not guaranteed against loss nor is the amount of the original investment guaranteed at the target date. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The graph illustrates the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Fund’s composite benchmark index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

**Represents a composite index as of December 2016, consisting of 8.68% of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, 2.17% of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, 16.14% of the S&P 500® Index, 1.68% of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, 16.75% of the Russell 1000® Value Index, 16.02% of the Russell 1000® Growth Index, 5.71% of the Russell 2000® Index, 3.45% of the MSCI World Commodity Producers Index, 23.20% of the MSCI EAFE Index and 6.20% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The construction of the composite index corresponds to the target percentage allocations to the underlying asset classes as represented by the Fund’s investment in the Select Funds. As the target percentage allocations to the underlying investments change according to the MyDestination Funds® glide path, the target percentage allocations to the composite index also change.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

MyDestination 2055 Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a high percentage of exposure to equity securities with only modest percentages allocated to fixed-income and real assets securities. The Fund followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 7.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 57.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 31.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 5.00% Real Asset Select Funds as of December 31, 2016.

As a fund of funds, the Fund’s performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Fund generated a return of 8.81% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. Contribution to performance from the U.S. Equity Select Funds was positive for absolute performance. The Value Equity Fund was the largest Equity Select Fund contributor to absolute performance, as value stocks outperformed growth stocks for the year. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added modestly to performance. Non-U.S. developed equity markets underperformed their U.S. counterpart due to slower economic growth, a strengthening U.S. dollar and a reliance on further monetary policy. The Fund’s fixed-income allocation meaningfully added to investment returns, and the Global Bond Fund was the largest Fixed Income Select Fund contributor. Real assets were a positive contributor to absolute performance, led by the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund which benefited from the rally in commodity prices during the year.

The Fund underperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (8.81% versus 10.05%). The largest contributors to relative underperformance were the Growth Equity Fund and the Value Equity Fund. The largest contributors to relative performance were the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in the Select Funds. The Fund is managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then approximately 12 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the Fund is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money. This Fund may be suitable for investors who want a simplified “one fund” retirement solution, are willing to pay slightly higher fees to get a diversified mix of investments that becomes more conservative over time and plan to retire at an age that is near the year 2055. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. There is a risk that the issuer of a fixed-income investment may fail to pay interest or even principal due in a timely manner or at all. The Fund’s value will fluctuate due to business developments concerning a particular issuer, industry or country, as well as general market and economic conditions. The Fund is subject to risks presented by investments in foreign issuers, and changes in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect the values of foreign investments held by the Select Funds. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Fund will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which it invests. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. The amount invested in the Fund is not guaranteed to increase, is not guaranteed against loss nor is the amount of the original investment guaranteed at the target date. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Conservative Allocation Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a greater percentage of exposure to fixed-income securities with a smaller percentage to equity securities and real assets securities. The Fund had a target of, but was not limited to, an asset allocation of 55.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 20.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 7.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 18.00% Real Asset Select Funds.

As a fund of funds, the Fund’s performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Investor Class of the Fund generated a return of 4.82% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016, driven primarily by positive absolute performance of the underlying Equity Select Funds. Within this asset class, the Fund’s absolute return was most positively influenced by its exposure to the Defensive Market Strategies Fund, followed by exposure to the Value Equity Fund and the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. The Fund’s Real Asset Select Funds allocation added to investment returns, as the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund contributed positively. Additionally, the Fund’s Fixed Income Select Funds allocation positively impacted performance, led by contributions from the Low-Duration Bond Fund.

The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (4.82% versus 5.19%). Relative underperformance was primarily driven by the allocation to U.S. Equity Select Funds, with both the Value Equity Fund and the Growth Equity Fund detracting the most from relative returns. Lastly, the largest positive contributor to relative performance was the Defensive Market Strategies Fund.

Certain derivatives were utilized to provide market exposure for the cash positions held in the Fund. These derivative positions primarily included stock index futures and fixed-income futures. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in the Select Funds. By investing in the Fund you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Fund will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which it invests. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. The Fund may be suitable for investors who have a short- to medium-term investment horizon, possess a relatively low tolerance for risk and want some exposure to the growth potential of the stock market tempered by a larger allocation to short-term, fixed-income securities. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

Balanced Allocation Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined approximately equal percentages to equity securities and fixed-income securities in addition to a smaller allocation to real assets securities. The Fund had a target of, but was not limited to, an asset allocation of 41.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 30.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 14.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 15.00% Real Asset Select Funds.

As a fund of funds, the Fund’s performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Investor Class of the Fund generated a return of 7.00% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. While all underlying asset classes generated positive performance for the year, exposure to the underlying U.S. Equity Select Funds, in aggregate, added the most to absolute performance, followed by the Real Asset Select Funds. The Fund’s absolute return was most positively influenced by its exposure to the Value Equity Fund, the Defensive Market Strategies Fund and the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund. The Fund’s Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds allocation added to investment returns, as the contribution from both underlying Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds was notably positive for the year. The Fixed Income Select Fund allocation also provided positive results, with the most positive contributions coming from the Global Bond Fund and Medium-Duration Bond Fund.

The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (7.00% versus 7.21%), which was driven primarily by allocations to the U.S. Equity Select Funds. Within this asset class, the Growth Equity Fund and the Value Equity Fund had impacts on relative underperformance over the period. Additionally, within the Real Asset Select Funds allocation, both the Inflation Protected Bond Fund and Flexible Income Fund detracted from relative performance over the one-year period ended December 31, 2016.

Certain derivatives were utilized to provide market exposure for the cash positions held in the Fund. These derivative positions primarily included stock index futures and fixed-income futures. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in the Select Funds. By investing in the Fund you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Fund will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which it invests. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a medium- to long-term investment horizon, possess a moderate tolerance for risk and seek to participate in the return potential of stocks but want to achieve this result more slowly and with less volatility through a balanced allocation of fixed-income and equity investments. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

Growth Allocation Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a greater percentage of exposure to equity securities with a smaller percentage to fixed-income securities and real assets securities. The Fund had a target of, but was not limited to, an asset allocation of 25.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 41.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 27.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 7.00% Real Asset Select Funds.

As a fund of funds, the Fund’s performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Investor Class of the Fund generated a return of 7.08% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. While all underlying asset classes generated positive performance for the year, exposure to the underlying U.S. Equity Select Funds and Real Asset Select Funds contributed the most to performance. The Fund’s absolute return was most positively influenced by its exposures to the Value Equity Fund and the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund. Additionally, the Fund’s Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds allocation contributed meaningfully to investment returns. Lastly, the Fixed Income Select Funds were positive across all underlying strategies, most notably for the Global Bond Fund.

The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (7.08% versus 8.27%). While underlying U.S. Equity Select Funds holdings detracted from relative performance results, the Fund’s relative performance was most negatively impacted by allocations to the Growth Equity Fund and the Value Equity Fund.

Certain derivatives were utilized to provide market exposure for the cash positions held in the Fund. These derivative positions primarily included stock index futures and fixed-income futures. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in the Select Funds. By investing in the Fund you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Fund will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which it invests. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a long-term investment horizon, possess a relatively high tolerance for risk and seek to participate in the return potential of stocks at a slightly lower risk level than an all stock portfolio. Foreign securities may be subject to greater risk than domestic securities due to currency volatility, reduced market liquidity and political and economic instability. Small company stocks are subject to greater risk than large company stocks due to more volatility and less liquidity. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

The Fund had a target of, but was not limited to, an asset allocation of 60.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds and 40.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds.

As a fund of funds, its performance was based on the performance of the underlying Select Funds. The Investor Class of the Fund generated a return of 6.38% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. Exposure to both the U.S. Equity Select Funds, in aggregate, and non-U.S. Equity Select Funds generated positive performance. The only detractor to absolute performance was the Growth Equity Fund. The largest contributor to absolute performance was the Value Equity Fund, as U.S. value stocks significantly outperformed the overall U.S. equity market.

The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its composite benchmark in 2016 (6.38% versus 9.46%). The Fund’s relative performance was most negatively impacted by allocations to the Growth Equity Fund and the Value Equity Fund.

Certain derivatives were utilized to provide market exposure for the cash positions held in the Fund. These derivative positions primarily included stock index futures. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that it owns. This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a long-term investment horizon, possess a relatively high tolerance for risk and want to diversify by adding an aggressive investment option that combines U.S. and international stocks. Foreign securities may be subject to greater risk than domestic securities due to currency volatility, reduced market liquidity and political and economic instability. Small company stocks are subject to greater risk than large company stocks due to more volatility and less liquidity. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

(1) The Since Inception benchmark performance is based on the start date of August 27, 2001, which corresponds with the inception date of the Investor Class, the longest operating class of the Fund.

(2) The Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of the Investor or Institutional Class shares of the Select Funds in which the Fund invests. Current information regarding the Fund’s Operating Expenses can be found in the Financial Highlights.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained at GuideStoneFunds.com. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Fund’s composite benchmark index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

**Represents a composite index as of December 2016, consisting of the Russell 3000® Index and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, weighted 60.00% and 40.00%, respectively.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Money Market Fund (Unaudited)

In December 2016, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) saw sufficient evidence of economic strength to raise the federal funds rate by another quarter of a percent. Thus far, the Fed has increased rates by 0.25% in each of the last two years to bring the current target rate to a range of 0.50% to 0.75%. This range remains very accommodative to generate economic growth and to thwart any deflationary pressures. Despite the small increase in the federal funds rate at year-end, short-term rates were at historically low levels throughout the year which negatively impacted the returns available to investors.

In response to new requirements under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Money Market Fund altered its holdings in May 2016. The Fund transitioned from a prime money market fund to a government money market fund, and now only holds securities backed in full by the federal government. In general, government funds have lower yields and returns than prime funds given their higher quality orientation. To better reflect the Fund’s new strategies, the benchmark index was changed to the BofA Merrill Lynch 0-3 Month US Treasury Bill Index.

Given the low interest rate environment, which persisted throughout 2016, money market funds (which are lenders to borrowers at short-term interest rates) experienced another year of very moderate returns. At the end of 2016, the three-month U.S. Treasury Bill was yielding 0.50%, although the rate was approximately 0.25% for most of the year. The low yield environment, coupled with the regulatory constraints of Rule 2a-7, made it incredibly difficult for money market funds across the industry to post positive returns net of expenses, including the Fund.

The Fund invested in a broad range of high quality, short-term money market instruments denominated exclusively in U.S. dollars during the year. The Fund maintained a stable per share price of $1.00, while paying monthly dividends based on the daily account value. The Investor Class of the Fund returned 0.04% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016, as compared to a 0.26% return for its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 0-3 Month US Treasury Bill Index. In the midst of the difficult interest rate and economic environment, the management of the Fund remained true and steadfast to its primary objectives of preservation of capital and liquidity versus sacrificing quality and taking imprudent risk in an effort to stretch for incremental yield. Stretching for yield in this environment provided an asymmetrical payoff, providing little, if any upside, while increasing the potential for a material negative return event. At year-end, the Fund’s weighted average maturity was 42 days, compared to 39 days at the end of 2015.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a short-term investment horizon, seek to maintain a stable dollar value for their investment and can accept a long-term rate of return that may be lower than other fixed-income and stock investments.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Although the Fund seeks to maintain a value of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

Low-Duration Bond Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund invested in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of investment grade fixed-income securities with an average dollar-weighted duration (a measure of bond prices’ sensitivity to changes in interest rates) normally between one to three years. The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its all-U.S. Treasury benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year US Treasury Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (1.47% versus 0.89%). In an effort to outpace its benchmark, the Fund tactically utilized spread sectors (such as high yield and investment grade corporates, mortgage-backed securities, emerging market dollar-denominated securities and asset-backed securities) that traded at a yield premium relative to their U.S. Treasury counterparts. The strategy of overweighting non-U.S. Treasuries sectors, particularly investment grade corporate bonds, provided value relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s relative yield advantage versus the benchmark was also a positive contributor to the relative returns.

Other strategies involving derivatives were utilized during the year, resulting in an overall modest impact to performance. U.S. Treasury futures contracts were used for both duration management and yield curve positioning strategies. Over the course of the calendar year, these positions had a negative impact on relative performance as they were used to provide short duration positions when rates declined. Credit default swaps were utilized, and moderately improved the Fund’s relative performance during the year, as spreads narrowed within the corporate bond sector during the period the positions were held. In an effort to gain exposure to non-U.S. interest rates and duration, interest rate swaps were utilized and detracted modestly from relative performance. Currency forward contracts were used to hedge certain non-U.S. dollar positions. On an overall net basis, the currency strategies modestly benefitted relative performance.

During the year, the Fund remained true to its overall objective of seeking current income consistent with conservation of capital.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a short-term investment horizon, seek an investment return that is relatively stable and want to diversify their portfolio with a fixed income investment option. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Some derivatives may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments (such as futures contracts and forwards contracts) and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment. Further details regarding the value of these investments can be found in the “Financial Futures Contracts” and “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts” disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements and the “Swap agreements outstanding” disclosure on the preceding page(s), respectively.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, foreign bonds, mortgage-backed securities and swap agreements are values based on evaluated quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities. Significant increases (decreases) in those evaluated quotations would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Medium-Duration Bond Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund invested in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of investment grade fixed-income securities with an average dollar-weighted duration (a measure of bond prices’ sensitivity to changes in interest rates) normally between three to seven years. The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (2.88% versus 2.65%).

The Fund maintained relatively less interest rate sensitivity and, therefore, faced a challenging first quarter as interest rates fell but ultimately outperformed its benchmark during the last three quarters. The Fund has outperformed its benchmark over the five-, seven- and 10-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2016. Exposure to high yield and investment grade corporate credits, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities and emerging markets securities denominated in the U.S. dollar were the strongest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance, as credit spreads narrowed and inflation expectations accelerated. The slightly lower interest rate sensitivity of the Fund was also a positive contributor as rates rose over the year. The Fund maintained a yield advantage versus its benchmark which positively impacted relative performance.

Other strategies involving derivatives were utilized during the year. U.S. Treasury futures contracts, options on U.S. Treasuries and Euro-futures were used for the common purposes of managing duration, implementing yield curve positioning strategies and expressing cross-sector views. Overall, on a net basis, these positions had a modest, negative impact on performance. In an effort to better express the desired credit exposures and risks from a synthetic perspective, credit default swaps were utilized on a very modest basis. These positions were neutral to the performance of the Fund. Currency forward contracts were utilized to hedge foreign currency risk and to express active currency views. The contributions to the Fund’s performance from these currency strategies was mixed. Through the process of implementing interest rate views and emerging markets strategies during the year, interest rate swaps were used and provided a modest negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

During the year, the Fund remained focused on its objective of seeking maximum total return consistent with preservation of capital.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a short- to medium-term investment horizon, seek higher returns than those offered by a shorter maturity bond fund, can accept some short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio with a fixed income investment option. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Some derivatives may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments (such as futures contracts and forwards contracts) and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment. Further details regarding the value of these investments can be found in the “Financial Futures Contracts” and “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts” disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements and the “Swap agreements outstanding” disclosure on the preceding page(s), respectively.

Management has determined that the amount of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the amount of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 is not shown for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, foreign bonds, foreign government inflation-linked note, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, purchased options and written options are values based on evaluated quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities. Significant increases (decreases) in those evaluated quotations would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Extended-Duration Bond Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund invested in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of investment grade fixed-income securities with an average dollar-weighted duration (a measure of bond prices’ sensitivity to changes in interest rates) normally greater than or equal to seven years. The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark, 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government Bond Index and 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Credit Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (7.23% versus 5.83%). The Fund has outperformed its benchmark over the five-, seven- and 10-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2016.

Sector rotations and credit exposure contributed to the strong relative performance of the Fund during 2016. In particular, the Fund benefited from an underweight to U.S. Treasury bonds in favor of both investment grade and below-investment grade corporate bonds as credit spreads narrowed. Security selection within the industrial segment of the corporate sector also contributed to the strong relative performance of the Fund during the year. The Fund did not invest in derivative investments during the year.

During the year, the Fund remained focused on its objective of seeking maximum total return consistent with preservation of capital.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who are seeking higher returns without investing in stocks, can accept short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio with a fixed income investment option. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Some derivatives may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained at GuideStoneFunds.com. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Fund’s composite benchmark index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

**Represents a weighted composite benchmark index consisting of 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Credit Index and 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government Bond Index.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Global Bond Fund (Unaudited)

The divergence of monetary policies among the major central banks continued during 2016 creating both risks and potential opportunities for global bond investors. In response to a low unemployment rate and an inflation level near its target, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased the federal funds rate by 0.25% in December. In fact, growing evidence such as rising oil prices suggested that price deflation fears for much of the global economy may be waning. Economic growth remained below the long-term averages, however, prompting the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan to continue to purchase securities throughout 2016 in an attempt to drive stronger economic expansion. This dynamic of differing policies will continue to be a major factor in the relative attractiveness of bonds and currencies around the globe.

The U.S. dollar continued to gain in value relative to other major currencies, including the Great Britain pound, the Japanese yen and the euro. This dollar strength dampened returns for U.S. investors on international bonds denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. This trend may well continue should the Fed continue to increase short-term interest rates in the United States while the other major central banks maintain their stimulus efforts. The global bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, posted an annual return of 2.09% for 2016. Emerging market debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan EMBI Plus (“J.P. Morgan EMBI+”) (a U.S. dollar denominated index), generated an annual return of 9.62%.

The Fund is actively managed and invests in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of global fixed-income securities with an average dollar-weighted duration (a measure of bond prices’ sensitivity to changes in interest rates) normally between three to 10 years. The Fund maintained its global focus, seeking investment opportunities across a wide array of economies, credits, yield curves and currencies. For the one-year period ended December 31, 2016, the Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark, 50% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, 25% J.P. Morgan EMBI+ and 25% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index, (10.91% versus 7.62%). The outperformance was primarily due to the narrowing of credit spreads during the year. High yield exposure, particularly in the industrials segment of the corporate sector, was a strong contributor to the relative annual performance of the Fund. A shorter duration and an underweight to U.S. Treasury bonds also contributed positively. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the year.

Additionally, U.S. Treasury and currency futures contracts along with options on U.S. Treasuries and Euro-futures were used for the common purposes of implementing yield curve positioning strategies within the Fund. Currency options and forward contracts were used to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. While some of the currency forward contracts added value, overall these strategies detracted modestly from performance during the year.

During the year, the Fund remained focused on its objective of seeking to maximize total return through capital gains and current income while preserving principal value.

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, commonly known as junk bonds. While offering higher current yields, these securities may be considered speculative and are subject to greater risks than higher-rated bonds. Securities of emerging countries may involve additional risks including price volatility, reduced liquidity, currency fluctuation and financial reporting requirements as well as political and economic instability. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Some derivatives may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments (such as futures contracts and forwards contracts), which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment. Further details regarding the value of these investments can be found in the “Financial Futures Contracts” and “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts” disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Management has determined that the amount of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the amount of transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 is not shown for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, foreign bonds, common stocks, foreign common stocks, foreign government inflation-linked note and loan agreements are values based on evaluated quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities. Significant increases (decreases) in those evaluated quotations would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

Defensive Market Strategies Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund combines multiple strategies that in aggregate seek to provide long-term capital appreciation with reduced volatility compared to the equity markets.

The Investor Class of the Fund achieved its investment objective during 2016, outperforming its composite benchmark of 50% S&P 500® Index and 50% Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (11.53% versus 6.09%). In a year of solid gains for U.S. equities, the Fund also performed in line with its reference benchmark, represented by the S&P 500® Index, slightly trailing by 0.43% net of fees. The Fund’s similar returns to that of the S&P 500® Index, was achieved with materially lower market sensitivity and volatility compared to the S&P 500® Index.

The Fund currently has assets allocated between three principal investment strategies, including long-only equity, options equity and convertible bonds. For the calendar year 2016, all three strategies contributed positively to absolute and benchmark-relative returns.

The long-only equity strategy outperformed the S&P 500® Index for the year, benefiting from its allocation to, and strong security selection within, the healthcare and utilities sectors. In addition, the long-only equity strategy benefited from a backdrop where the market rewarded value stocks with higher yields.

The options equity strategy contributed positively to benchmark relative performance. All excess returns from selling options were derived from selling put options, as the year experienced very little downside volatility. In contrast, selling call options subtracted from results.

The convertible bonds strategy contributed positively to benchmark relative outperformance, yet trailed the broader convertible bond market as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. All Convertibles Index. Broad beta exposure to convertibles was the primary contributor to positive absolute performance, while more conservative positioning in convertibles detracted from results relative to that of the overall convertible bond market.

Some of the underlying strategies may utilize derivative instruments within the Fund. During 2016, the Fund sold equity options in order to hedge (reduce) equity exposure and to collect the option premium from selling. The use of equity options contributed meaningfully to performance during 2016. Currency forwards were used to hedge foreign currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar and also contributed positively to the Fund’s absolute and benchmark-relative performance.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a medium- to long-term investment horizon, possess a moderate tolerance for risk and seek to participate in the return potential of stocks at a slightly lower risk level than an all stock portfolio. Convertible securities valuations generally are more closely aligned with a company’s bonds than common stock. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Foreign securities may be subject to greater risk than domestic securities due to currency volatility, reduced market liquidity and political and economic instability. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of short sales and derivatives, and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Short sales by a fund theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. Leverage may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund to generally decline faster than it would otherwise. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Equity Index Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund was passively managed and benchmarked against the S&P 500® Index. The Fund was comprised of domestic, large-cap equity stocks with both value- and growth-style orientations. The objective of the Fund was to provide investment results approximating the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities included in the S&P 500® Index. The correlation between the Fund’s performance and the S&P 500® Index is expected to be greater than 98%. However, it could be lower in certain market environments and due to certain stocks that are excluded from the Fund’s portfolio because of social investment policies and restrictions (100% would indicate perfect correlation). The Investor Class of the Fund returned 11.84% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016, as compared to a return of 11.96% for the S&P 500® Index. The return differential was primarily a result of social restrictions and expenses of the Fund.

In 2016, exchange listed equity index futures contracts were utilized to provide market exposure to the cash positions held in the Fund. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who seek higher, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio by adding a potentially higher return, higher risk option of stocks. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the S&P 500® Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Value Equity Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund invested in a diversified portfolio of large- and medium-sized U.S. companies whose stocks were considered to be attractive from a valuation perspective. The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (13.84% versus 17.34%). Security selection within energy, financial services and the materials & processing sectors were the primary detractors during the period. Overweight exposure and security selection within healthcare also detracted from benchmark-relative performance for the year.

In 2016, exchange listed equity index futures contracts were utilized to provide market exposure to the cash positions held in the Fund. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who seek higher, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio by adding a potentially higher return, higher risk option of value stocks. This Fund is subject to value investing risk. This involves the risk that an investment in companies whose securities are believed to be undervalued, relative to their underlying profitability, will not appreciate in value as anticipated. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Russell 1000® Value Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Growth Equity Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund invested in a diversified portfolio of large- and medium-sized U.S. companies whose stocks were considered to have above average potential for growth in revenue and earnings. The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (-1.30% versus 7.08%). Slow growth, yield-oriented stocks within the benchmark were the primary drivers of benchmark returns for the year. Underweight exposure to these areas detracted from benchmark-relative performance for the year. Security selection within the consumer discretionary, technology and healthcare sectors also detracted from benchmark-relative performance during the year.

In 2016, exchange listed equity index futures contracts were utilized to provide market exposure to the cash positions held in the Fund. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who seek high, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value, want to invest in growth-oriented stocks and would like to diversify their portfolio by adding a potentially higher return, higher risk option of stocks. The Fund will not concentrate in any particular industry, but at times, it may be heavily invested in a particular economic sector. This may result in greater short-term price volatility. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Russell 1000® Growth Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Small Cap Equity Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund was comprised of domestic, small-cap stocks with both value- and growth-style orientations. The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (17.17% versus 21.31%). During the year, the Fund remained diversified across all sectors, with a modest overweight to the producer durables sector and modest underweights to the healthcare and financial services sectors. Security selection within the energy, financial services and producer durables sectors were the primary detractors from benchmark-relative performance during the year.

In 2016, exchange listed equity index futures contracts were utilized to provide market exposure to the cash positions held in the Fund. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who seek higher, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value, want to invest in stocks of small- to medium-sized U.S. companies and would like to diversify their portfolio by adding a potentially higher return, higher risk option of stocks. Small company stocks are subject to greater risk than large company stocks due to more volatility and less liquidity. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Russell 2000® Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

International Equity Index Fund (Unaudited)

Developed non-U.S. markets underperformed their U.S. counterparts and were negatively impacted by slower economic growth, reliance on further monetary policy and the U.S. dollar, which strengthened against most currencies during the year. The MSCI EAFE Index, a measure of international developed country returns, posted a fourth quarter return of -0.71%, bringing the return to 1.00% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. Value styles outperformed growth styles, and small capitalization stocks generally outperformed large capitalization stocks during the year. From a country perspective, the best performers were natural resource export economies including Norway, New Zealand and Australia, which benefited from commodity price strength. Meanwhile, Denmark and Israel were among the worst performing countries for the year. In a reversal from last year, the strongest performance was registered in the energy and materials sectors, while the weakest performance came from the healthcare sector.

The Fund was passively managed and attempted to duplicate the investment composition and performance of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. The MSCI EAFE Index is an equity index which captures large- and mid-cap representation across developed market countries around the world, excluding the United States and Canada. The objective of the Fund was to provide investment results approximating the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index. The correlation between the Fund’s performance and the MSCI EAFE Index is expected to be greater than 98%. However, it could be lower in certain market environments and due to certain stocks that are excluded from the Fund’s portfolio because of social investment policies and restrictions (100% would indicate perfect correlation). The Fund returned 1.63% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016, as compared to a 1.00% return for the MSCI EAFE Index. The return differential was primarily a result of social restrictions and expenses of the Fund.

In 2016, exchange listed equity index futures contracts were utilized to provide market exposure to the cash positions held in the Fund. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

This Fund may be suitable to investors who seek higher, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio with international stocks. The Fund invests in foreign and emerging market securities which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of short sales and derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate the assets. Short sales by a fund theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. Leverage may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund since June 1, 2015 (commencement of operations), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the MSCI EAFE Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

International Equity Fund (Unaudited)

Developed non-U.S. markets underperformed their U.S. counterparts and were negatively impacted by slower economic growth, reliance on further monetary policy and the U.S. dollar, which strengthened against most currencies during the year. The MSCI EAFE Index, a measure of international developed country returns, posted a fourth quarter return of -0.71%, bringing the return to 1.00% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016. Value styles outperformed growth styles, and small capitalization stocks generally outperformed large capitalization stocks during the year. From a country perspective, the best performers were natural resource export economies including Norway, New Zealand and Australia, which benefited from commodity price strength. Meanwhile, Denmark and Israel were among the worst performing countries for the year. In a reversal from last year, the strongest performance was registered in the energy and materials sectors, while the weakest performance came from the healthcare sector.

The Fund continued to be invested in markets deemed to be developed and, to a much lesser extent, in markets deemed to be emerging or non-developed. The Fund was primarily comprised of equities of foreign companies and was diversified among a large number of companies across different industries and economic sectors. The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (2.62% versus 1.00%). On a country basis, underweight exposure and security selection within Japan and security selection within Denmark and Italy positively impacted benchmark-relative performance. Tactical exposure to emerging markets also had a positive impact during the period. On the negative side, security selection within the United Kingdom and Sweden detracted from benchmark-relative performance. On a sector basis, security selection to the healthcare and technology sectors contributed, while underweight exposure and security selection to the materials sector detracted from benchmark-relative returns during the year.

Within the Fund, certain derivatives were utilized to express active views in currency and country selection. These derivative positions primarily included currency forward contracts, stock index futures and stock index future swaps. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance over the course of the year.

This Fund may be suitable to investors who seek higher, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio with international stocks. The Fund invests in foreign and emerging market securities which involve certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of short sales and derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Short sales by a fund theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. Leverage may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund (Unaudited)

Emerging markets stocks outperformed their developed markets counterparts during the year and benefitted from prospects of higher economic growth and attractive valuations. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index posted a loss of -4.16% for the fourth quarter but advanced 11.19% for the year. Countries with the strongest gains for 2016, with rallies in excess of 50%, included Brazil, Russia and Peru (some of the positive performance was due to currency fluctuations). Meanwhile, both Egypt and Greece experienced double digit losses in U.S. dollars. Countries with the larger gains were generally those that rely on commodity exports to drive their economies. Eight of 11 sectors were positive for the year. The energy and materials sectors were the best performers, while the healthcare and real estate sectors were the weakest performing sectors for 2016.

The Fund is actively managed and invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of stocks of foreign companies of any market capitalization located in emerging markets. The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (13.20% versus 11.19%). On a country basis, security selection in Russia, South Africa and South Korea contributed to benchmark-relative performance. Underweight exposure and security selection to China also positively impacted performance. On a sector basis, security selection to the industrials, financials and materials sectors contributed to benchmark-relative returns, while security selection to the real estate and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from benchmark-relative returns during the year.

Within the Fund, certain derivatives were utilized to express active views in currency and country selection. These derivative positions primarily included currency forward contracts, stock index futures and stock index future swaps. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance over the course of the year.

This Fund may be suitable to investors who seek higher, long-term rates of return, can accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio with emerging market stocks. The Fund invests in emerging market securities which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. Medium and small companies have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and their stocks historically have been more volatile and less liquid than large company stocks. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of derivatives, and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Some derivatives may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund since October 31, 2013 (commencement of operations), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments (such as futures contracts and forwards contracts) and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment. Further details regarding the value of these investments can be found in the “Financial Futures Contracts” and “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts” disclosures in the Notes to Financial Statements and the “Swap agreements outstanding” disclosure on the preceding page(s), respectively.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the reconciliation of Level 3 securities and assumptions is not shown for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Inflation Protected Bond Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund was actively managed and was primarily comprised of inflation-indexed debt securities with an average dollar-weighted duration (a measure of bond prices’ sensitivity to changes in interest rates) normally between four and 10 years. The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays US TIPS (Series-L) Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016 (3.66% versus 4.68%).

The Fund was invested predominately in U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) throughout the year. U.S. TIPS were positive in the first three quarters, with the benchmark index rising 7.27% in part due to the Fed’s forward guidance viewed as dovish, further delaying expected rate hikes. TIPS faced a more challenging environment during the fourth quarter of 2016 as the index returned -2.41%. Optimism surrounding a pro-business and pro-inflation environment under a Trump administration propelled the market based inflation expectations approximately 0.30% higher. The 10-year breakeven inflation levels ended 2016 at 1.97%.

The Fund was consistently managed to provide inflation protection and income consistent with investment in inflation-indexed securities.

Certain strategies involving derivatives were utilized during the year. Interest rate futures and interest rate options were utilized to manage duration and yield curve exposure and to express active views on valuations of securities. These securities had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance for the year. The Fund also utilized currency forwards and options to hedge non-U.S. dollar positions and to express active views in foreign currencies. The use of these strategies had a slightly negative impact on the performance of the Fund over the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a long-term investment horizon, want protection from inflation, can accept short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio with a fixed income investment option. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decrease and vice versa. Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long duration holdings than on short duration holdings. To the extent that the investment adviser misjudges current market conditions, the Fund’s volatility may be amplified by its use of derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Some derivatives may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the net asset value of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund since June 25, 2009 (commencement of operations), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Bloomberg Barclays US TIPS (Series-L) Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Flexible Income Fund (Unaudited)

The Flexible Income Fund primarily invests in below-investment-grade, senior secured floating rate loans issued by U.S. banks or other financial institutions, otherwise referred to as “bank loans” or “leveraged loans.” To a lesser extent, the Fund may also invest in other below investment grade corporate fixed-income securities or unsecured floating rate loans and may include non-U.S. securities. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA U.S. BB- Rating and Above Loan Index, for the 2016 calendar year (6.40% vs. 8.82%). The Fund is designed to have a more conservative orientation relative to the benchmark and is expected to underperform in a market environment like 2016.

After the rough start to 2016, the markets began pricing in the prospect of an accelerating economic expansion in 2017 and beyond. Propelling these prospects were improving economic data and new potential pro-growth government policies in the form of lower taxes and less regulation, which could bode well for improved corporate profitability. Moreover, higher consumer confidence and spending, falling default rate expectations, demand from international investors seeking yield and a possibly accelerating merger and acquisition environment provided a good backdrop for bank loans.

From a benchmark-relative performance perspective, the Fund’s security selection within B-rated loans hurt performance. In addition, negative security selection within, and an underweight to, the oil and gas industry also negatively impacted relative performance. Positive security selection within the retail and utilities industries contributed positively to benchmark-relative results.

During the year, the Fund remained focused on its objective of seeking a high level of current income. At year-end, the current yield of the Fund was 4.69%.

The Fund did not invest in derivative instruments during the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a medium- to long-term investment horizon, possess a moderate tolerance for risk and are seeking income which may be more sensitive to interest rates than traditional bonds. There is a risk that the issuer of a fixed-income investment owned by the Fund may fail to pay interest or principal due in a timely manner or at all. If the Fund acquires a participation interest in a senior secured or unsecured floating rate loan (“Senior Loans”), the Fund may not be able to control the exercise of any remedies that the lender would have under the loan and likely would not have any rights against the borrower directly. Senior Loans made to finance highly leveraged corporate acquisitions may be especially vulnerable to adverse changes in economic or market conditions. The Fund is subject to collateral risk in that the value of collateral securing a Senior Loan may decline after investment and that the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed. The Fund might not be able to sell a security promptly and at an acceptable price, which could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the Fund’s liquidity. High yield securities (“junk bonds”) involve greater risks of default and are more volatile than securities rated investment grade. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund since July 1, 2013 (commencement of operations), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the S&P/LSTA U.S. BB- Ratings and Above Loan Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Real Estate Securities Fund (Unaudited)

Global real estate securities performed well in the first half of 2016 before reversing course and giving up some of the gains in the second half. In the first half of 2016, global real estate securities were in a sweet spot of low rates and slow growth, but as economic data improved in the second half year, interest rates rose and put pressure on valuations. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index rose 4.06% for the year.

The direction of global property markets (and to a large extent broader equities) was dictated by central bank policy, resulting in brief bouts of volatility during 2016.

The Fund provides exposure to real estate by investing in public real estate securities with strong cash flow growth potential that provides the capacity for sustained dividend increases. The Fund was diversified among property sectors and geographical locations. The Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, for the 2016 calendar year (3.78% vs. 4.06%). Stock selection was neutral to positive in all regions and specifically strong in Japan and the Americas. Relative performance was negatively impacted by overweighting cyclical office names early in the year.

In 2016, exchange-listed equity index futures contracts were utilized to provide market exposure to the cash positions held in the Fund. Overall, derivative exposure had a slight positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who seek the potential for current income and long-term capital appreciation. Investors should be willing to accept significant short-term fluctuations in account value and want to diversify their portfolio through exposure to publicly traded real estate securities. This Fund invests substantial assets in real estate investment trusts that involve equity market risks as well as risks linked directly to the real estate market. Risks include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund for the 10-year period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

The Global Natural Resources Equity Fund primarily invests in equity securities of companies considered to be principally engaged in natural resources industries and related sectors or that supply goods, technology and services to such companies. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI World Commodity Producers Index, for the 2016 calendar year (45.50% versus 30.53%).

After over two years of declines in the broad commodity market, commodity prices were quite strong in 2016, with natural gas, oil and copper prices rising by 59%, 45% and 17%, respectively. The increase in commodity prices has been driven by the ongoing improvement in fundamentals as inventory overhangs continue to be reduced. From an allocation perspective, all major commodity segments within the Fund generated positive returns, led by investments in North American natural gas and base metal producers.

From a stock selection perspective, the Fund’s benchmark-relative results benefited from strong stock selection within the North American natural gas and fertilizers sub-sectors. Stock selection within precious metals was a detractor to relative performance.

During the year, the Fund remained focused on achieving its objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation.

During the year, exchange-listed equity index futures contracts were utilized to provide market exposure to the cash positions held in the Fund. Overall, derivative exposure had a positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a medium- to long-term investment horizon, possess a high tolerance for risk and seek to participate in the return potential of natural resources related equity securities. An investment in medium-, small- and micro-cap companies may involve greater risk and be more volatile and less liquid than an investment in a larger company. Investment in companies in natural resources industries may be significantly affected by (often rapid) changes in supply of, or demand for, various natural resources. Concentrating investments in the natural resources sector increases the risk of loss because the securities of many or all of the companies in the sector may decline in value due to developments adversely affecting the sector, including market, economic, political or regulatory developments. Prices of precious metals and of precious metal-related securities have historically been very volatile due to various economic, financial, social and political factors and may adversely affect the financial condition of companies involved with precious metals. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2016, the portfolio holdings of the Fund, as a percentage of net assets, is shown in the following table. Portfolio holdings are subject to risk and may change at any time.

The graph compares the results of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Investor Class of the Fund since July 1, 2013 (commencement of operations), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the MSCI World Commodity Producers Index.

*These returns reflect expense waivers by the Fund’s investment adviser. Without these waivers, returns would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments (such as futures contracts), which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment. Further details regarding the value of these investments can be found in the “Financial Futures Contracts” disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the reconciliation of Level 3 securities and assumptions is not shown for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS

GuideStone Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 2, 2000. The Trust has established twenty-seven series (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified, open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The MyDestination 2005, MyDestination 2015, MyDestination 2025, MyDestination 2035, MyDestination 2045 and MyDestination 2055 Fund are each referred to as a “Target Date Fund” and together as the “Target Date Funds.”

The Conservative Allocation Fund, Balanced Allocation Fund, Growth Allocation Fund and Aggressive Allocation Fund are each referred to as an “Asset Allocation Fund” and together as the “Asset Allocation Funds.”

The remaining Funds are each referred to as a “Select Fund” and are together referred to as the “Select Funds.” The Money Market Fund is referred to as the “Money Market Fund.” The Low-Duration Bond Fund, Medium-Duration Bond Fund, Extended-Duration Bond Fund and Global Bond Fund are together referred to as the “Fixed Income Funds.”

The Defensive Market Strategies Fund, Equity Index Fund, Value Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, International Equity Index Fund, International Equity Fund and Emerging Markets Equity Fund are together referred to as the “Equity Funds.”

The Inflation Protected Bond Fund, Flexible Income Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund and the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund are together referred to as the “Real Return Select Funds.”

There are two classes of shares issued by the Funds — the Institutional Class and the Investor Class (each, a “Class” and together the “Classes”). The International Equity Index Fund issued the Institutional Class only. The Target Date Funds, Flexible Income Fund and the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund issued the Investor Class only. All Classes of shares have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each Class of shares based upon its relative net assets.

Each Fund is a separate mutual fund with its own investment objective, strategies and risks. The Select Funds invest directly in particular types of fixed-income obligations, stocks and other investments. The Target Date and Asset Allocation Funds primarily invest in a different mix of the Select Funds to meet a specified investment strategy. The Target Date Funds and Asset Allocation Funds are commonly referred to as “Fund of Funds.”

Following the close of business on November 20, 2015, pursuant to the Plan, the Asset Allocation Funds received all of the assets and liabilities of the I Series Funds. The transfer was treated as a non-taxable event and, accordingly, the I Series Funds’ basis in securities transferred reflected historical cost basis as of the date of the transfer. The shareholders of the I Series Funds received Institutional Class Shares of the respective Allocation Fund with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares in the I Series Fund immediately prior to the transfer.

The plan of reorganization and termination was completed at the close of business on November 20, 2015, with the transfer of all of the assets of each I Series Fund to the corresponding Asset Allocation Fund in exchange solely for the Asset Allocation Fund’s assumption of all of the liabilities of the I Series Fund and Institutional Class shares of the Asset Allocation Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in the I Series Fund.

On September 15-16, 2016, the Board of Trustees of GuideStone Funds (the “Board of Trustees”) approved a reverse share split (the “Reverse Split”) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Institutional Class of Low-Duration Bond Fund, Medium-Duration Bond Fund, Extended-Duration Bond Fund, Equity Index Fund, Value Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and International Equity Fund (each a “Split Impacted Fund” and together, the “Split Impacted Funds”). As a result of the Reverse Split, for each one share of the Institutional Class of each Split Impacted Fund a shareholder currently holds, the shareholder received a proportional number of Institutional Class shares of the Split Impacted Fund with the same dollar value, in accordance with a ratio calculated in order to result in each Institutional Class share having a net asset value (“NAV”) substantially equivalent to each Investor Class share of the Split Impacted Fund.

Shareholders of record in the Institutional Class of each Split Impacted Fund at the close of business on October 14, 2016, participated in the Reverse Split, and the ratio for the Reverse Split was calculated as of that date. Each Split Impacted Fund effected the Reverse Split after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on October 14, 2016.

Growth Equity Fund    1:0.4281844
Small Cap Equity Fund    1:0.4941101
International Equity Fund    1:0.7398548

Beginning October 17, 2016, the Institutional Class shares of each Split Impacted Fund were offered, sold and redeemed on a Reverse Split-adjusted basis. Per share data, including the proportionate impact to NAV, in the Financial Highlights and Capital share activity presented in the Capital Share Transactions disclosure (see Note 6) have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the accounting and the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial

 

277


Table of Contents

Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (“ASC 946”). The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including but not limited to ASC 946. The preparation of financial statements requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. The Funds utilize various methods to measure the value of its investments on a recurring basis. Amounts received upon the sale of such investments could differ from estimated values and those differences could be significant.

a. Valuation of Securities

The Funds (except the Money Market Fund) each value securities traded on national securities exchanges or included in national market systems at the last quoted sale price, or official close price, on the principal exchange on which they were traded, or, in the absence of any sale or official close price, at the closing bid price. The valuation committee is comprised of individuals from GuideStone Capital Management (“GSCM” or “Adviser”) and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. who previously have been identified to the Board of Trustees. Non-exchange traded securities for which an over-the-counter quotation is readily available are valued at the last quoted bid price.

Debt securities, excluding asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices available, which approximates fair value. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued at the last bid price, if available.

Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices; those maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates current market value in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued based upon closing exchange rates from each respective foreign market.

Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded.

Options, rights and warrants for which the primary market is a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are traded, or, in the absence of any sale, at the closing bid price. Options, rights and warrants not traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last quoted bid price.

Swap agreements are valued daily based upon the terms specific to each agreement with its counterparty. (Please see Note 2i, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information regarding the valuation of swap agreements).

To the extent available, valuations of portfolio securities are provided by independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value according to methods established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Due to the potential excessive volatility at the time valuations are developed, pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities.

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its NAV. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Fund calculates its NAV if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates its NAV. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If a Fund becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV, a Valuation Committee meeting may be called. The Trust uses Interactive Data Corporation (“IDC”) as a third party fair valuation vendor. IDC provides a fair value for foreign equity securities held by the Trust based on certain factors and methodologies applied by IDC in the event that

 

278


Table of Contents

there is movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold established by the Valuation Committee in consultation with, and approved by, the Board of Trustees. Such methodologies generally involve tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security. As part of the valuation procedures, a “confidence interval” is used, when the threshold is exceeded, to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign equity security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued. In the event that the threshold established by the Valuation Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Trust will typically value non-U.S. equity securities in its portfolio that exceed the applicable confidence interval based upon the fair values provided by IDC.

The Target Date and Asset Allocation Funds value their investments in the underlying Select Funds daily at the closing NAV of each respective Fund.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes and requires disclosure of a fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3). Categorizations of fair value measurements, and the criteria used to determine each categorization, are as follows:

 

Level 1

 

  quoted prices in active markets for identical securities which include:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, that are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded; and

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the GuideStone Select Funds and the Northern Institutional Liquid Assets Portfolio, which are valued at their closing NAV each business day.

Derivative financial instruments such as financial futures contracts and written and purchased put and call options for which market quotations are readily available, that are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded.

 

Level 2

 

  prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) which include:

Equity securities for which there were no sales or closing prices for that day, that are valued at the last quoted bid price or that may be valued using the last available price;

Foreign equity securities for which a Significant Event has occurred and a fair value price is provided by IDC;

Debt securities, including restricted securities that are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing. For corporate bonds, pricing services that utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices; and

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available and are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and swap agreements that are valued based on pricing models using inputs observed on actively quoted markets or observable correlated market inputs.

 

279


Table of Contents

Securities for which there is a short or temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source which is an

Approved Pricing Service.

 

Level 3

 

  prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the valuation committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) which include:

Restricted equity securities, private placements and derivative financial instruments where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used; and

Debt securities, including restricted securities, and derivative financial instruments that are valued based on evaluated quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities.

Valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the end of the reporting period.

The Funds’ policy is to disclose transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of the reporting period. The Select Funds (with the exception of the Money Market Fund) may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures which may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Such transfers between levels due to the periodic use of fair value procedures are not included in the disclosure of transfers between levels included with the Valuation Hierarchy of each respective Fund.

In accordance with FASB “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S.GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”),” management has not presented quantitative disclosures for the securities which are advisor priced or valued by the valuation committee as there have been no adjustments to prices received from third parties as of December 31, 2016.

A valuation hierarchy including information regarding transfers between levels and Level 3 securities, where applicable, is shown at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

b. Fixed Income Securities

The Fixed Income Funds, Defensive Market Strategies Fund and the Small Cap Equity Fund may invest in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, stripped mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are interests in pools of loans or other receivables. Mortgage-related securities are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including mortgage loans made by savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. Asset-backed securities are created from many types of assets, including auto loans, credit card receivables, home equity loans and student loans. These securities provide a monthly payment which consists of both interest and principal payments. Interest payments may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. The rate of pre-payments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security and may have the effect of shortening or extending the effective duration of the security relative to what was anticipated at the time of purchase. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations, may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that the private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements.

 

280


Table of Contents

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”) are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by mortgages and divided into classes. CMOs are structured into multiple classes, often referred to as “tranches,” with each class bearing a different stated maturity and entitled to a different schedule for payments of principal and interest, including pre-payments. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”) include securities that reflect an interest in, and are secured by, mortgage loans on commercial real property. Many of the risks of investing in CMBS reflect the risks of investing in the real estate securing the underlying mortgage loans. These risks reflect the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make loan payments, and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. CMOs and CMBS may be less liquid and may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage- or asset-backed securities. Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities (“SMBS”) are derivative multi-class mortgage securities. SMBS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. A common type of SMBS will have one class receiving some of the interest and most of the principal from the mortgage assets, while the other class will receive most of the interest and the remainder of the principal. In the most extreme case, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive the entire principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). Payments received for IOs are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Because little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a monthly basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest will be paid based on a principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income on the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.

“TBA” (to be announced) commitments are commitments to purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price at a future date, typically not exceeding 45 days. TBAs may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date. This risk is in addition to the risk of decline in each Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBAs are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described in the section entitled “Valuation of Securities”.

The Low-Duration Bond Fund and Medium-Duration Bond Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, pursuant to which they sell a mortgage-backed TBA or security and simultaneously purchase a similar, but not identical, TBA with the same issuer, rate and terms. The Funds may execute a “roll” to obtain better underlying mortgage securities or to increase yield. The Funds account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales, which has the effect of increasing their portfolio turnover rates. Risks associated with dollar rolls are that actual mortgages received by the Funds may be less favorable than those anticipated or that counterparties may fail to perform under the terms of the contracts. At December 31, 2016, there were no mortgage-backed TBA dollar roll transactions.

U.S. Government securities are obligations of and, in certain cases, guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The U.S. Government does not guarantee the NAV of the Funds’ shares. Some U.S. Government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States Government; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Bank, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”); others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations; and still others, such as those of the

 

281


Table of Contents

Student Loan Marketing Association, are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. U.S. Government securities may include zero coupon securities, which do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to greater risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.

Government-related guarantors (i.e., not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). FNMA is a government-sponsored corporation, the common stock of which is owned entirely by private stockholders. FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and mortgage bankers. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates (“PCs”), which are pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.

c. Foreign Currency Translations

Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

d. Loan Participations

The Fixed Income Funds, the Small Cap Equity Fund and the Flexible Income Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate borrowers. Investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The holder may invest in multiple series of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The holder generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, these instruments may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, the holder has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower.

The Fixed Income Funds, the Small Cap Equity Fund and the Flexible Income Fund may invest in floating rate loans, some of which may be unfunded corporate loan commitments (“commitments”). Commitments may obligate the holder to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. The holder may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, the holder may

 

282

receive a prepayment penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense on the Statements of Operations.

e. PIPEs

The Global Natural Resources Fund invests in Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) securities. PIPEs involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company by a Fund. PIPEs are restricted securities and cannot be immediately resold into the public markets. These investments are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Risks include the potential decline in the value of the publicly traded company, the potential dilution of shareholder equity and the inability of the Fund to liquidate the position quickly. The CDEV PIPE security was priced by applying a 10% illiquidity discount to the traded price of CDEV (NASDAQ), with the illiquidity discount being amortized over the period from December 28, 2016 to April 15, 2017, which is the latest estimated date that the sub-adviser expects SEC registration of the CDEV PIPE security.

f. REITs

The Real Estate Securities Fund invests substantial assets in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general.

Dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted in the Funds to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.

g. Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may agree to purchase securities from financial institutions subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. It is the Fund’s policy that repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities. All collateral is held by the Fund’s custodian bank or a bank with which the custodian bank has entered into a subcustodian agreement, or is segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

Repurchase transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

Additional information about master netting arrangements can be found in the Derivative Financial Instruments and Securities Lending sections of the Notes to Financial Statements.

h. Short Sales

A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own. The Fund’s obligation to replace the security borrowed and sold short will be collateralized by cash equivalents maintained in a segregated account with the broker. Cash deposited with the broker is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will realize a loss; and if the price declines during the period, the Fund will realize a gain. Any realized gain will be decreased, and any realized loss increased, by the amount of transaction costs.

The Equity Funds may sell short exchange-listed equity futures contracts to reduce market exposure. The Target Date Funds, Asset Allocation Funds, Fixed Income Funds and Small Cap Equity Fund may sell short U.S. Treasury securities and exchange-listed U.S. Treasury futures contracts to reduce market exposure. The Low-Duration Bond and Medium-Duration Bond Funds will occasionally enter into a short sale to initiate a dollar roll transaction. The Low-Duration Bond Fund was involved in dollar roll transactions with U.S. Treasury Securities throughout the year. At December 31, 2016, the Low-Duration Bond Fund was involved in a dollar roll transaction with a U.S. Treasury Note for the net amount of $(1,481,075). The Low-Duration Bond Fund and Medium-Duration Bond Fund had no other dollar roll transactions at December 31,2016. The Defensive Market Strategies

 

284


Table of Contents

Fund may establish short positions in stocks of companies with a market value of up to 30% of the Fund’s assets. The International Equity Fund may establish short positions in stocks of foreign companies with a market value of up to 7% of the Fund’s assets.

At December 31, 2016, the value of securities sold short in the Low-Duration Bond Fund and International Equity Fund amounted to $1,481,075 and $63,811,126, respectively.

i. Synthetic Convertible Instruments

The Defensive Market Strategies Fund invests in synthetic convertible instruments. Synthetic convertible instruments are hybrid financial instruments that generally combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. The risks of investing in synthetic convertible instruments include unfavorable price movements in the underlying security and the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. There may be no guarantee of a return of principal with synthetic convertible instruments and the appreciation potential may be limited. Synthetic convertible instruments may be more volatile and less liquid than other investments held by the Fund.

j. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may engage in various portfolio strategies to seek to increase their return by hedging their portfolios against adverse movements in the equity, debt and currency markets. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Funds, in their normal course of business, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ exposure may include future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

Financial Futures Contracts — The Funds (except the Money Market Fund) may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and the options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging risk on existing securities, demonstrating purchase of securities or gaining market exposure on cash balances. Financial futures contracts are contracts for the delivery of securities at a specified future date at an agreed upon price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Funds deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected.

Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to pay to or receive from the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such payments or receipts are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed or settled.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Options and Futures — The Fixed Income Funds, Defensive Market Strategies Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund and International Equity Fund may also enter into futures contracts on foreign currencies and related options on transactions as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts — Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge against adverse exchange rate fluctuation to the U.S. dollar or between different foreign currencies in connection with either specific security transactions or portfolio positions. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening value and the closing value of the contract. These contracts may involve market risk in

 

285


Table of Contents

excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Options — Certain Funds are authorized to write and purchase put and call options. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. The Funds also may write over-the-counter options where completing the obligation depends upon the credit standing of the other party and that party’s ability to perform. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes.

Options purchased are recorded as an asset, and written options are recorded as liabilities to the extent of premiums paid or received. Each Fund will realize a gain or loss when the option transaction expires or closes. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option or the cost of a security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of the premium received or paid.

When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Certain Funds may write swaption contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to enhance portfolio yield. Swaption contracts written by the Funds represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a previously agreed upon swap contract on a future date. If a written call swaption is exercised, the writer will enter a swap and is obligated to pay the fixed-rate and receive a floating rate in exchange. If a written put swaption is exercised, the writer will enter a swap and is obligated to pay the floating rate and receive a fixed rate in exchange. Swaptions are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers. When a Fund writes a swaption, the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the swaption. Entering into a swaption contract involves, to varying degrees, the elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the associated option and swap contract amounts reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the market risk arising from any change in index values or interest rates.

Swap Agreements — Each Select Fund, except the Money Market Fund, may enter into swap agreements. The Equity Funds may enter into equity swap contracts and the Fixed Income Funds and the Small Cap Equity Fund may enter into interest rate and credit default swaps. The Fixed Income Funds and International Equity Fund may enter into cross-currency swaps, and each Select Fund may enter into total return swaps.

Swap agreements are privately negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. A swap may be entered into in order to, among other things, change the maturity of a Fund’s portfolio, to protect a Fund’s value from changes in interest rates, to expose a Fund to a different security or market, or to help a Fund achieve a strategy relative to an index or other benchmark. By entering into a swap agreement, a Fund is exposed to the risk of unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of an underlying security or index (or the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation under the agreement). Credit default swaps involve the payment of amounts based on a specified rate multiplied by a notional amount as well as upon an event of default. In connection with these agreements, securities are set aside as collateral by the Fund’s custodian.

 

286


Table of Contents

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available; and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed reliable, certain swap agreements may be valued pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. In the event that market quotes are not readily available and the swap cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the swap will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, generally based upon recommendations provided by the Fund’s sub-adviser. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations.

Certain of the Funds’ derivative agreements contain provisions that require the Fund to maintain a predetermined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over one-month, three-month and 12-month periods. If a Fund were to violate such provisions, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. For the year ended December 31, 2016, all of the Funds maintained the required level of net assets and/or the NAVs of the Funds did not decline below the limits set forth in the derivative agreements.

Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Credit Default Swaps — Credit default swap (“CDS”) agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on CDS agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS agreements are amortized over the expected life of the CDS agreements as unrealized gains or losses on swap agreements. The change in value of the CDS agreements is recorded daily as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement.

The sub-advisers monitor a variety of factors including cash flow assumptions, market activity, market sentiment and valuation as part of their ongoing process of assessing payment and performance risk. As payment and performance risk increases, the value of a CDS increases, resulting in recognition of unrealized gains for long positions and unrealized losses for short positions. Conversely, as payment and performance risk decreases, unrealized gains are recognized for short positions and unrealized losses are recognized for long positions. Any current or future declines in the fair value of the swap may be partially offset by upfront payments received by the Fund as a seller of protection if applicable. The

change in value is recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the occurrence of a credit event or the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.

If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

CDS agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use CDS on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

CDS agreements on asset-backed securities involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. Unlike CDS on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, deliverable obligations in most instances would be limited to the specific referenced obligation as performance for asset-backed securities can vary across deals. Prepayments, principal paydowns, and other write down or loss events on the underlying loans will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the referenced obligation. These reductions may be temporary or permanent as defined under the terms of the swap agreement and the notional amount for the swap agreement will be adjusted by corresponding amounts. A Fund may use CDS on asset-backed securities to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the referenced obligation or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular referenced obligation’s default. At December 31, 2016, there were no investments in CDS agreements on asset-backed securities.

CDS agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the CDS market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using CDS with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index CDS references all the names in

Table of Contents

the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use CDS on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of CDS or bonds with a CDS on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many CDS to achieve a similar effect. CDS on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of CDS agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedules of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For CDS agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a CDS agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection CDS agreements entered into by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

CDS involve greater risks than if the Funds had invested in the referenced obligation directly. In addition to general market risks, CDS are subject to liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. The Funds enter into CDS with counterparties meeting defined criteria for financial strength. A buyer also may lose its investment and recover nothing should a credit event not occur. If a credit event did occur, the value of the referenced obligation received by the seller, coupled with the periodic payments previously received, may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value.

Centrally Cleared Swap Agreements — Centrally cleared swaps are either interest rate or CDS agreements brokered by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Intercontinental Exchange (the “Exchanges”) where the Exchanges are the counterparty to both the buyer and seller of protection. Centrally cleared swaps involve a lesser degree of risk because the Exchanges, as counterparties, monitor risk factors for the involved parties. Centrally cleared swaps are subject to general market risks and to liquidity risk. Pursuant to the agreement, the Funds agree to pay to or receive from the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract (the “Margin”) and daily interest on the margin. In the case of centrally cleared interest rate swaps, the daily settlement also includes the daily portion of interest. Such payments are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed or settled.

Centrally cleared swaps require no payments at the beginning of the measurement period nor are there liquidation payments at the termination of the swap.

Cross-Currency Swap Agreements — Cross-currency swap agreements involve two parties exchanging two different currencies with an agreement to reverse the exchange at a later date at specified exchange rates. The exchange of currencies at the inception date of the contract takes place at the current spot rate. The re-exchange at maturity may take place at the same exchange rate, a specified rate, or the then current spot rate. Interest payments, if applicable, are made between the parties based on interest rates available in the two currencies at the inception of the contract. The terms of cross-currency swap contracts may extend for many years. Cross-currency swaps are usually negotiated with commercial

and investment banks. Some cross-currency swaps may not provide for exchanging principal cash flows but only for exchanging interest cash flows. At December 31, 2016, there were no cross-currency swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements — Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest with respect to the notional amount of principal. Certain forms of interest rate swap agreements may include: (i) interest rate caps, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates exceed a specified rate, or “cap”, (ii) interest rate floors, under which, in return for a premium, one party agrees to make payments to the other to the extent that interest rates fall below a specified rate, or “floor”, (iii) interest rate collars, under which a party sells a cap and purchases a floor or vice versa in an attempt to protect itself against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels, (iv) callable interest rate swaps, under which the counterparty may terminate the swap transaction in whole at zero cost by a predetermined date and time prior to the maturity date, (v) spread locks, which allow the interest rate swap users to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the interest rate swap rate and a specified benchmark, or (vi) basis swap, under which two parties can exchange variable interest rates based on different money markets.

Total Return Swap Agreements — Total return swap agreements on commodities involve commitments where exchanged cash flows are based on the price of a commodity and in return a Fund receives either fixed or determined by floating price rate. One party would receive payments based on the market value of the commodity involved and pay a fixed amount. Total return swap agreements on indices involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One counterparty pays out the total return of a specific reference asset, which may be an equity, index, or bond, and in return receives a regular stream of payments. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Variance Swap Agreements — Variance swap agreements involve two parties exchanging cash payments based on the difference between the stated level of variance (“Variance Strike Price”) and the actual variance realized on an underlying asset or index. As a receiver of the realized price variance, a Fund would receive the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would owe the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price. As a payer of the realized price variance, a Fund would owe the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike. A Fund may enter into variance swaps in an attempt to hedge market risk or adjust exposure to the markets. At December 31, 2016, there were no variance swap agreements.

FASB “Derivatives and Hedging” includes required disclosure for (i) the nature and terms of the derivative, reasons for entering into the derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the derivative, (ii) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the derivative, (iii) the fair value of the derivative, and (iv) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. FASB “Guarantees” require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All of this information has been incorporated for the current period as part of the Schedules of Investments within the Swap agreements outstanding disclosure and in the Notes to Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2016, the Low-Duration Bond Fund and the Medium-Duration Bond Fund are the buyers (“receiving protection”) on a total notional amount of $23,769,000 and $10,495,000, respectively, and the sellers (“providing protection”) on a total notional amount of $0 and $17,880,000, respectively. The notional amounts of the swaps are not recorded in the financial statements; however, the notional amount does approximate the maximum potential amount of

Offsetting of Financial and Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Certain Funds are parties to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“MA”) with various counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The ISDA MA may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the ISDA MA, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s portfolio or Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to an ISDA MA in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

j. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

The Low-Duration Bond Fund, Medium-Duration Bond Fund, Extended-Duration Bond Fund, Inflation Protected Bond Fund, Global Bond Fund and Flexible Income Fund declare and pay dividends from net investment income monthly. The Money Market Fund declares income dividends daily and pays them monthly. Each of the Defensive Market Strategies Fund, Equity Index Fund, Real Estate Securities Fund, Value Equity Fund and Growth Equity Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income semi-annually. Each of the other Funds (including all the Target Date Funds and Asset Allocation Funds) declares and pays dividends from net investment income annually. Each Fund also distributes to its shareholders at least annually any realized net capital gains and net gains, if any, from certain foreign currency transactions. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

k. Expenses

Expenses arising in connection with a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Expenses common to all Funds are generally allocated to each Fund in proportion to their relative net assets. Each Class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its Class, except that each Class separately bears expenses related specifically to that Class, such as shareholder reporting, registration, transfer agent, shareholder servicing and distribution fees.

l. Security Transactions, Income and Realized Gains and Losses

Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are purchased or sold (the trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily, including the amortization of market premium and the accretion of market discount using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are on an identified cost basis.

3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

a. Investment Advisory Fees (Affiliate)

Pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement, GSCM acts as the Adviser to the Funds. As Adviser, it supervises the investments of the Funds and for such services is paid a fee. GSCM and the Trust have entered into sub-advisory agreements with various sub-advisers to manage each Select Fund’s investments. Under the general supervision of GSCM, the sub-advisers make the day-to-day investment decisions for the Select Funds, and for such services, each sub-adviser receives a fee from the Funds. The aggregate advisory fees and sub-adviser fees are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations under “Investment advisory fees”.

The advisory fees paid to GSCM and aggregate sub-advisory fees paid to the sub-advisers are computed daily based upon the net assets of each Fund. The actual advisory fees accrued and the sub-advisory fees accrued during the year ended December 31, 2016, based upon average daily net assets, were as follows:

The Statement of Operations “Expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured” for the Money Market Fund includes shareholder servicing fee waiver and other waivers.

b. Shareholder Servicing Fees (Affiliate)

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Shareholder Service Plan for the Investor Class of each Fund. Under this Plan, the Investor Class of each Fund, was authorized to pay fees of 0.25% of average daily net assets to parties that provide services for and maintain shareholder accounts.

4. SECURITIES LENDING

Through an agreement with The Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”) (the Funds’ custodian) the Select Funds may lend portfolio securities to certain brokers, dealers and other financial institutions that pay the Select Funds a negotiated fee. The Select Funds receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral against the loaned securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the loaned securities. The Funds continue to own the loaned securities and the securities remain in the investment portfolio. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. Cash collateral has been invested in a short-term money market fund of Northern Trust, an affiliate of the Funds, which invests in securities that satisfy the quality requirements of Rule 2a-7 and have short maturities. This investment is presented on the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. The Funds do not have control of non-cash securities lending collateral: as such, this amount is not presented on the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. At December 31, 2016, the market values of loaned securities and collateral received were as follows:

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

7. BANK BORROWINGS

The credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. dated November 27, 2015 to November 25, 2016 expired with no outstanding loans. On November 23, 2016, the Funds entered into a new Line of Credit Agreement with The Northern Trust Company (Northern Trust). The terms of the credit agreement permit the Funds to borrow cash from Northern Trust up to a limit of $50 million, collectively. Each Fund was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.00% or 1.50%. Each Fund also pays a facility fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility, based on average net assets, at a rate of 0.20% per annum.

No Funds borrowed for the year ended December 31, 2016, and there were no outstanding loans at December 31, 2016.

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund’s policy is to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that apply to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and capital gains to shareholders. No provision for income or excise taxes is thus required. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes.

The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned. Gains realized by the Funds on the sale of securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The Funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities. For year ended December 31, 2016, the International Equity Fund and Emerging Markets Equity Fund accrued non-U.S. taxes on unrealized gains of $11,681 and $71,014, respectively.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements except as noted above. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management’s

conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to new tax laws, regulations and administrative interpretations (including court decisions). Each of the Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years (years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016) remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. In regard to foreign taxes only, certain Funds have open tax years in certain foreign countries they invest in that may date back to the inception of the Funds.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for futures and options transactions, foreign currency transactions, paydowns, losses deferred due to wash sales, straddles and investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFIC’s”). Distributions during the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, were characterized as follows for tax purposes:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. Such losses are presented in the table above under the column heading “Unlimited.” However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term losses as under previous law.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the following Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains:

The differences between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the deferral of losses on straddles, gains on constructive sales and investments in PFIC’s, partnerships and other securities with book and tax cost differences.

At December 31, 2016, capital contributions, accumulated undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments have been adjusted for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of PFICs, paydown losses, net operating losses, swaps, foreign currency transactions, distributions received from regulated investment companies, defaulted bonds, reclassifications of dividends paid and non-deductible expenses. The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

9. MARKET AND CREDIT RISK

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or due to the failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risks).

Market Risks — A Fund’s investments in derivatives and other financial instruments expose the Fund to various risks such as,

but not limited to, interest rate, foreign currency, equity and commodity risks.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by a Fund is likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is useful primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income’s market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.

If a Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. As a result, a Fund’s investments in foreign currency denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund.

The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, or equity related investments such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. Market values may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries,

 

350


Table of Contents

such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity

related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

A Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater market price volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as the Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.

Credit and Counterparty Risks — A Fund will be exposed to credit risk on parties with whom it trades and will also bear the risk of settlement default. A Fund minimizes concentrations of credit risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. A Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

Similar to credit risk, a Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose a Fund to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The investment advisers minimize counterparty risks to the Funds by performing extensive reviews of each counterparty and obtaining approval from the Counterparty Risk Committee prior to entering into transactions with a third party. All transactions in listed securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved counterparties. The risk of default is considered minimal, as delivery of securities sold is only made once a Fund has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

Each Fund may face potential risks associated with the United Kingdom’s vote on June 23, 2016 to leave the European Union (the “EU”), commonly referred to as “Brexit.” There are considerable uncertainties about the repercussions resulting from Brexit, including the impact on trade agreements, regulations, and treaties. Brexit is expected to occur within two years, but the exact time frame is unknown and may change. Brexit may also increase the likelihood that other EU members may decide to leave the EU. These potential consequences may result in increased market volatility and illiquidity in the United Kingdom, the EU and other financial markets, as well as slower economic growth and fluctuations in exchange rates. Any of these events may have a significant adverse effect on global markets and economies, which in turn could negatively impact the value of each Fund’s investments.

10. RECENT SEC RULE AMENDMENTS

On July 23, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to money market fund regulations, which structurally change the way that certain money market funds are required to operate.

The Board, on behalf of the Money Market Fund, has approved an investment policy in order for the Fund to meet the definition of a “government money market fund” under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Under

 

351


Table of Contents

amended Rule 2a-7, a government money market fund is a money market fund that invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in U.S. government securities, cash, and/or repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities or cash. These changes became effective on May 1, 2016.

On October 13, 2016, The SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-X which will modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and to enhance liquidity risk management by open-end funds, including mutual funds. The amended rules will enhance the quality of information available to investors and will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds. The amended rules also will promote effective liquidity risk management across the open-end fund industry and will enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices. These amendments are generally not effective until sometime in 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implications of the amendments. The impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

11. REGULATORY EXAMINATIONS

Federal and state regulatory authorities from time to time make inquiries and conduct examinations regarding compliance by the Trust and its affiliates with securities and other laws and regulations affecting the Funds. There are currently no such matters which the Trust and its affiliates believe will be material to these financial statements.

12. LIQUIDATION

On April 26, 2016, the Real Assets Fund was liquidated in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation and Termination approved by the Board of Trustees on February 26, 2016.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events determined to be relevant and material to the financial statements have been appropriately recorded or disclosed.

Over time, the MyDestination 2005 Fund (“2005 Fund”) has changed its asset allocation following its predetermined glide path and its allocations are now substantially similar to those of the Conservative Allocation Fund. As described in the Prospectus, the assets of the 2005 Fund will be transferred to the Conservative Allocation Fund approximately 12 years after 2005 through a merger with the Conservative Allocation Fund, provided that the Board of Trustees determines that the combination would be in the best interests of the 2005 Fund and its shareholders. Legal expenses incurred as a result of the merger were deemed to be extraordinary expenses due to the unusual nature and infrequency of occurrence. The Board has approved the reorganization of the 2005 Fund into the Conservative Allocation Fund (the “Reorganization”), effective on February 10, 2017.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of December 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agent of the investee funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BOARD REVIEW OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)

As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of GuideStone Funds (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), recently considered the renewal of (i) the investment advisory agreement between GuideStone Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser” or “GSCM”) and the Trust on behalf of the Target Date, Asset Allocation and Select Funds (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) (the “Advisory Agreement”); (ii) the sub-advisory agreements among the Adviser, each sub-adviser and the Trust on behalf of each Select Fund; and (iii) the sub-advisory agreement among the Adviser, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”) and the Trust on behalf of each Fund participating in the cash overlay program (“Cash Overlay Program”) (items ii and iii referred to collectively as the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”). The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements presented for renewal (each an “Agreement” and collectively, the “Agreements”) were approved for an additional one-year term, except as noted below, at a meeting of the Board held on September 15-16, 2016. The Board’s decision to approve the Agreements reflects the exercise of its business judgment to continue each existing arrangement. In approving the Agreements, the Board considered information provided by the Adviser, each applicable sub-adviser and a consulting firm engaged by the Adviser with the assistance and advice of counsel to the Independent Trustees (“Independent Counsel”) and counsel to the Trust. Because the Board had recently approved them for an initial two-year term, the following agreements were not subject to annual renewal at the September 15-16, 2016 Board meeting: the sub-advisory agreements for the Equity Index Fund, Value Equity Fund, International Equity Index Fund and Global Natural Resources Equity Fund with Legal & General Investment Management America, Inc.

The Board’s consideration of various factors and its conclusions with respect to such factors formed the basis for the Board’s determination to continue the Agreements. The factors considered by the Board included, but were not limited to: (i) the personnel resources of the Adviser and sub-advisers; (ii) the experience and expertise of the Adviser and sub-advisers; (iii) the financial capabilities and resources of the Adviser and sub-advisers; (iv) the compliance procedures and histories of the Adviser and sub-advisers; (v) the performance of the Funds or portfolio accounts in comparison to relevant benchmarks, peer universes of similarly managed funds and the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ other clients; (vi) the amount of the contractual advisory fees in comparison to similarly managed funds and the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ other clients and the effect of any fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements; (vii) the total expenses of the Funds in comparison to similarly managed funds and the use of past and anticipated expense caps; (viii) the profitability of the Adviser and, to the extent available, of sub-advisers with respect to the Funds or portfolio accounts and their overall businesses, as well as the effect of fee waivers and expense caps on profitability levels; (ix) the extent of any economies of scale and whether the fee structures reflect such economies of scale through breakpoints or effectively do so as a result of recent reductions in fee levels; (x) the existence of any collateral benefits realized by the Adviser or sub-advisers, such as affiliated brokerage arrangements or the use of soft dollars; and (xi) the existence of any collateral benefits realized by the Funds resulting from relationships with the Adviser or sub-advisers. In addition, with respect to the Funds that utilize a multi-manager approach (i.e., the Fund is advised by multiple sub-advisers), the Board considered the ongoing role each sub-adviser plays in the overall structuring of the portfolio, including how that sub-adviser’s strategy complements the strategies of the other sub-advisers.

In its decision to renew the Agreements, the Board was also mindful of the potential disruptions of the Trust’s operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an Agreement. The Board also evaluated whether the approval of each Agreement is in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. No one factor was determinative in the Board’s consideration of the Agreements.

The Board undertook a review of the terms of the Agreements and the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each applicable sub-adviser. The Board conducted its analysis on a Fund-by-Fund basis with respect to the Adviser and each applicable sub-adviser. The Adviser provided the Board with substantial detailed information in the form of reports about each Target Date Fund, Asset Allocation Fund, Select Fund, applicable sub-advisory firm and the Adviser prior to and during the meeting, which addressed the factors listed previously. The Adviser also provided additional information about the Adviser and each sub-adviser in presentations made during the meeting and responded to questions from the Trustees. In addition, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive session with Independent Counsel to discuss and consider

information presented in connection with the continuation of the Agreements as well as the Trustees’ responsibilities and duties in approving the Agreements.

BOARD APPROVAL OF CONTINUATION OF THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH GSCM

In considering the renewal of the existing Advisory Agreement with GSCM, the Board took into account all the materials provided prior to and during the meeting, the presentations made during the meeting and the comprehensive discussions during the meeting, including the discussions between the Independent Trustees and their Independent Counsel during the executive sessions.

The Board examined the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds. The Board evaluated the Adviser’s experience serving as the Trust’s investment adviser, including the Adviser’s experience overseeing and managing the allocation of each Fund’s assets among the Trust’s sub-advisers, continually reviewing the investment performance of each Fund, continually reviewing the nature and quality of the services provided by the Trust’s sub-advisers and recommending changes to the Trust’s sub-advisers as and when appropriate. With respect to the Target Date Funds and the Asset Allocation Funds, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of the services that the Adviser provides that are in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided pursuant to any underlying Select Fund’s advisory contract. Specifically, the Board evaluated the Adviser’s services in determining the glide path or the asset mix for each Fund and selecting the specific underlying Select Funds in which to invest, as well as rebalancing services. The Board considered the experience of key personnel at the Adviser providing investment management and administrative services to the Trust, the systems used by such persons and the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel. The Board considered the reputation, compliance history, compliance program and financial condition of the Adviser. The Board also considered the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the responsibilities that the Adviser has as investment adviser to the Funds, including oversight of sub-adviser compliance with each Fund’s policies and objectives and oversight of general Fund compliance, including compliance with social restrictions and Board directives. The Board concluded that each Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services as a result of the Adviser’s experience, personnel, operations and resources. During their deliberations, the Board members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the various factors deliberated upon, among others.

The Board also examined fee and expense information for each Select Fund, as compared to other funds in each Fund’s asset-stratified peer group for the Investor Class, provided by the report of an outside consulting firm, as of June 30, 2016. The Board took into account that the management fees, net of any fee waiver or expense reimbursements, and as compared to similar funds with similar asset levels, for the Money Market, Low-Duration Bond and Medium-Duration Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Inflation Protected Bond, Global Bond, Defensive Market Strategies, Equity Index, Real Estate Securities, Value Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Extended-Duration Bond, Flexible Income, Growth Equity, Small Cap Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and Global Natural Resources Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and no Funds ranked in the fourth quartile. The Board also evaluated the total expense ratios for other funds in each Fund’s asset-stratified peer group and determined that each Fund’s total expense ratio, with the exception of the Money Market, Extended-Duration Bond, Flexible Income, International Equity and Global Natural Resources Equity Funds, was the same as, or lower than, the median total expense ratio for such other funds. The Board took into account that the total expense ratio for the Money Market, Extended-Duration Bond, Flexible Income and Global Natural Resources Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile, and that the International Equity Fund ranked in the fourth quartile, among similar funds at similar asset levels.

The Board also examined the fee and expense information for each Select Fund, as compared to other funds in the peer groups for the Institutional Class, provided by the report of an outside consulting firm, as of June 30, 2016. The Board determined that the management fees, net of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement, for the Real Estate Securities Fund ranked in the first quartile; the Money Market, Low-Duration Bond, Medium-Duration Bond, Global Bond, Inflation Protected Bond, Value Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Extended-Duration Bond, Defensive Market Strategies, Equity Index, Growth Equity, Small Cap Equity, International Equity Index and Emerging Markets Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and no Funds ranked in the fourth quartile among each Fund’s broad peer group. The Board also evaluated the total expense ratios for other funds in each Fund’s broad peer group for the Institutional Class and determined that each Fund’s total expense ratio was the same as, or lower than, the median total expense ratio for such other funds, except for the Money Market,

Extended-Duration Bond, Small Cap Equity, International Equity, International Equity Index and Emerging Markets Equity Funds. The Board took into account that the total expense ratios for the Money Market, Extended-Duration Bond, Small Cap Equity, International Equity and Emerging Markets Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile and the International Equity Index Fund ranked in the fourth quartile.

The Board also examined fee and expense information for the Target Date Funds and the Asset Allocation Funds, as compared to other funds in the Funds’ asset-stratified peer groups for the Investor Class of the Target Date Funds and the Institutional and Investor Classes of the Asset Allocation Funds, provided by the report of an outside consulting firm, as of June 30, 2016. The Board determined that the management fees, net of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement, for each Target Date Fund were higher than the median management fees for other mutual funds in each Fund’s asset-stratified peer group and that the total expense ratios for each Target Date Fund were slightly higher than the median total expense ratio for such other funds. For the Asset Allocation Funds, the Board determined that the management fees, net of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement, for each Asset Allocation Fund for the Institutional and Investor Classes were slightly lower than the median management fees for other mutual funds in each Fund’s asset-stratified peer group and that the total expense ratios for each Asset Allocation Fund for the Institutional and Investor Class were lower than the median total expense ratio for such other funds.

The Board examined the performance information for the Investor Class of the Select Funds compared to the relevant benchmark and to Morningstar peer rankings, specifically for the three-, five- and 10-year average annual total returns for the period ended June 30, 2016. Among Morningstar peers, the Board noted that the average annual total returns for the three-, five- and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2016, for the Money Market and Extended-Duration Bond Funds ranked in the first quartile.

For the period ended June 30, 2016, the Board noted that for the three-year average annual total return, the Money Market, Extended-Duration Bond and Defensive Market Strategies Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Inflation Protected Bond, Global Bond and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Low-Duration Bond, Medium-Duration Bond, Real Estate Securities, Value Equity, Growth Equity and Small Cap Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and no Funds ranked in the fourth quartile.

For the five-year average annual total return for the period ended June 30, 2016, the Board noted that the Money Market, Extended-Duration Bond, Global Bond and Real Estate Securities Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Medium-Duration Bond, Inflation Protected Bond, Value Equity and Growth Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Low-Duration Bond, Small Cap Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and no Funds ranked in the fourth quartile.

For the 10-year average annual total return for the period ended June 30, 2016, the Board noted that the Money Market, Medium-Duration Bond, Extended-Duration Bond and Real Estate Securities Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Low-Duration Bond Fund ranked in the second quartile; the Value Equity, Growth Equity, Small Cap Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and no Funds ranked in the fourth quartile.

The Board then examined the performance information included in the September 2016 Board Meeting materials for the Investor Class of each Asset Allocation Fund compared to the relevant benchmark and to Lipper peer rankings for the three-, five- and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2016, and for the Target Date Funds for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2016.

Among Morningstar peers, the Board noted that the Conservative Allocation Fund ranked in the fourth quartile for the one-, three- and five-year periods and the third quartile for the 10-year period ended June 30, 2016; the Balanced Allocation Fund ranked in the third quartile for the five- and 10-year periods and the fourth quartile for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2016; the Growth Allocation Fund ranked in the third quartile for the 10-year period and the fourth quartile for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2016; and the Aggressive Allocation Fund ranked in the third quartile for the one-, three- and 10-year periods and the second quartile for the five-year period ended June 30, 2016.

The Board also noted that among Morningstar peers, the MyDestination 2005 Fund ranked in the fourth quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2016; the MyDestination 2015 Fund ranked in the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2016; the MyDestination 2025 Fund ranked in the fourth quartile for the three-year period and in the third quartile for the five-year period ended June 30, 2016; the MyDestination 2035 Fund ranked in the fourth quartile for the three-year period and in the third quartile for the five-year period ended June 30, 2016; the MyDestination 2045 Fund ranked in the fourth quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2016; and the MyDestination 2055 Fund ranked in the

Table of Contents

fourth quartile for the three-year period ended June 30, 2016. The Board recognized the inception date of the MyDestination 2055 Fund is 2012.

The Board considered the costs to GSCM of serving as the Adviser to the Funds, including the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Funds in accordance with the existing Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the revenues that GSCM received for serving as the Adviser to the Funds and the fact that any profit realized by the Adviser is forwarded to GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, which for many years operated at a deficit with respect to the Trust. The Board also considered the profitability information for the Adviser, first, without taking into account sub-advisory fees, and second, taking into account sub-advisory fees. The Board then considered whether any direct or indirect collateral benefits inured to either the Adviser or the Trust as a result of their affiliation with one another. In light of these considerations, the Board concluded that any profits realized in connection with the Adviser’s services appeared reasonable.

The Board also considered the extent to which the advisory fee to be paid to the Adviser reflected economies of scale. The Board noted that the Select Funds’ advisory fees were restructured in 2015 and that, as of May 1, 2016, only certain Funds are subject to an expense cap. The Board considered the amount of any fees waived by the Adviser for each applicable Fund and the total amount of fees waived for the Trust as a whole during the past year. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios, net of any fee waiver and expense reimbursement, if applicable, were below the median total expense ratio for other similar funds at the same asset levels for the Investor Class, except for the Money Market, Extended-Duration Bond, Flexible Income, International Equity and Global Natural Resources Equity Funds.

Based on all of the information presented to the Board and its consideration of relevant factors, the Board concluded that the fee paid to the Adviser by each Fund was fair and reasonable in light of the services to be performed, and in the exercise of its business judgment, determined to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund. The Board also determined that approval of the continuation of each Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

BOARD APPROVAL OF CONTINUATION OF SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR THE SELECT FUNDS AND THE FUNDS PARTICIPATING IN THE CASH OVERLAY PROGRAM

In considering the existing Sub-Advisory Agreements with each of the applicable sub-advisers, the Board took into account the materials provided prior to and during the meeting, the presentations made during the meeting and the extensive discussions during the meeting, including the discussions the Independent Trustees had during their executive sessions with their Independent Counsel. The Board also took into account the Investment Management Committee’s (the “Committee”) review of information related to the Trust’s sub-advisers, questions submitted by the Committee to GSCM and Trust management regarding various sub-advisers, GSCM and Trust management’s responses to those questions and recommendations made by the Committee. More specifically, the Board examined the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the sub-advisers. The Board evaluated each sub-adviser’s experience serving as a sub-adviser to the applicable Fund(s). The Board noted that each sub-adviser currently provides investment advice to various clients, including, in some cases, other pooled investment vehicles. The Board noted the experience of key personnel at each sub-adviser providing investment management services, the systems used by such persons and the ability of each sub-adviser to attract and retain capable personnel. The Board noted the reputation, compliance history, compliance program and financial condition of each sub-adviser. The Board also noted the terms of the existing Sub-Advisory Agreements and the responsibilities that each sub-adviser has with respect to the applicable Fund(s), including the responsibility of the day-to-day management of the investment portfolio of each such Fund, compliance with each such Fund’s policies and objectives and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to such Funds. The Board also took into account the overall structure of each Fund and the particular role each sub-adviser plays in that structure and in achieving each Fund’s overall investment objective. The Board also noted that market conditions presented challenges for certain active management strategies during recent periods. The Board concluded that each Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of these services as a result of each sub-adviser’s experience, personnel, operations and resources. During their deliberations, the Board members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors deliberated upon, among others.

The Board examined performance information for each segment of a Fund managed by a sub-adviser. The Board noted that, for many of the sub-advisers, the performance record of the segment of the Fund managed by the sub-adviser compared favorably to the relevant benchmark, the composite performance for the sub-adviser’s clients (on a gross fee basis) and/or the peer universe of similarly managed funds. In cases where the sub-adviser’s performance lagged behind the relevant benchmark, the Board also considered more recent investment performance, performance measured against other relevant benchmarks or how the sub-adviser’s strategy deviated from the composition of the benchmark, any recent reductions in the sub-advisory fee and the sub-adviser’s role within the Fund.

The Board also noted that, in certain cases, market trends that have developed since the recent economic downturn have contributed to the underperformance of some of the sub-advisers. The Board also considered whether a sub-adviser’s underperformance was within the expected tracking error for the sub-adviser’s investment strategy. The Board concluded that, although past performance is no guarantee of future performance, the performance of each sub-adviser’s segment was satisfactory and the Funds were likely to benefit from each sub-adviser continuing to serve as sub-adviser to the Trust.

The Board examined the fee schedule for each sub-adviser, noting how the fee levels charged to the Trust compared with available information about fees charged by the sub-advisers to their other similarly situated clients, which in many cases include separately managed accounts, as well as how the sub-adviser fee levels for each Select Fund compared to the median sub-advisory fee for the peer universe of similarly managed funds.

The Board also took into account the profitability and the financial capability of each sub-adviser in light of information presented at the meeting. In light of these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits realized by each sub-adviser who completed a profitability questionnaire appeared reasonable. For the limited number of sub-advisers that did not provide profitability information, the Board relied upon other relevant information, particularly the independent negotiation of the fee schedules, the level of the fees, the sub-adviser’s performance history and feedback received from the sub-adviser regarding the firm’s inability to estimate profitability. The Board noted that, based on the Adviser’s representations, the financial statements of the sub-advisers did not appear to raise any significant concerns regarding the financial capability of those sub-advisers. The Board also considered the Adviser’s representations in the materials prepared for this meeting, and the discussions earlier in the meeting, that no sub-adviser experienced any material adverse change in its financial condition since the date of its most recent audited financial statements, and took into account the Adviser’s representation that it would continue to monitor the financial condition of each sub-adviser.

The Board considered the extent to which sub-adviser fees to be paid to each sub-adviser reflected economies of scale. The Board noted that each sub-adviser’s fee schedule either reflected economies of scale by reducing the fee on assets in excess of certain stated breakpoints or the fee level negotiated was below or on par with the standard fee level for the sub-adviser.

In evaluating the benefits that are expected to accrue to each sub-adviser through its relationship as sub-adviser to a Select Fund, the Board noted that certain sub-advisers allocate portfolio brokerage to affiliated broker-dealers that receive commissions from the execution of Fund trades. The Board also noted that certain sub-advisers expect to benefit from “soft dollar” arrangements by which brokers will provide research and other services to the sub-adviser in exchange for commissions on trades of the portfolio securities of the Select Fund. The Board considered whether any direct or indirect collateral benefits inured to the Trust as a result of its affiliation with each sub-adviser.

Based on all of the information presented to the Board and its consideration of relevant factors, the Board, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, determined to approve the continuation of each Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also determined that approval of the continuation of each Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interest of each Select Fund and each Fund participating in the Cash Overlay Program and their respective shareholders.

Non-Audit Services Provided to the Company, Advisor, and Others

The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all permissible non-audit services (e.g., tax services) to be provided to the Company by the Auditors, including the fees therefor;

provided, that if the Committee chooses to delegate the authority to grant pre-approvals to one or more Committee members, each acting on behalf of the Committee, then the Committee shall adopt policies and procedures detailed as to the particular service and designed to safeguard the continued independence of the auditors, consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “S-O Act”) and related SEC regulations, which shall then be used in making such pre-approvals; and,

  (2) such services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

 

  (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of, and approved by, the Audit Committee or by a member of the Audit Committee to whom the Committee has delegated the authority to grant such approvals, if any, prior to the Auditors’ completion of the Company’s audit.

Additionally, if the Auditors’ engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Company, to the extent required by Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, the Audit Committee shall pre-approve their engagements for non-audit services with:

 

  (1) the Advisor (excluding any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by the Advisor), and

 

  (2) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Company (each, a “Control Entity”)

in accordance with the foregoing paragraph, unless the aggregate amount of all services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the Auditors by the Company, the Advisor and any such Control Entity during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to this paragraph (in the absence of this exception). The Auditors may not perform contemporaneously any prohibited non-audit services for the Company, which currently include the following:

 

  1. bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Company;

 

  2. financial information systems design and implementation;

 

  3. appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports;

 

  4. actuarial services;

 

  5. internal audit outsourcing services;

 

  6. management functions or human resources;

 

  7. broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services;

 

  8. legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and

 

  9. any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

 

  (e)(2) The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows:

 

  (b) 100%

  (c) 100%

 

  (d) Not applicable

 

  (f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

 

  (g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $0 and $0 for 2015 and 2016, respectively.

 

  (h) The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

  (b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d))) that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
