LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

 

LOGO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present you with the 2017 GuideStone Funds Annual Report. This report reflects our unwavering commitment to integrity in financial reporting so you may stay fully informed of your investments. We trust that you will find this information valuable when making investment decisions.

2017 was an incredible year for GuideStone®. For the first time ever, GuideStone Funds® exceeded $13 billion in assets under management, thanks to robust growth in the financial markets and growth in numbers of investors. Low interest rates, low deflationary pressures, an improving labor market, improving sentiment about the state of the economy and fiscal policies, and low volatility led to this year’s growth.

During 2017, GuideStone Funds continued the steps to furthering enhancements and rationalizing the Fund lineup. In 2017, we launched the Strategic Alternatives Fund and closed the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund, the Flexible Income Fund and the MyDestination 2005 Fund. We believe these decisions ensure we are meeting the needs of our investors in achieving their goals.

This year also marked another recognition from the Lipper Fund Awards. The GuideStone Funds Defensive Market Strategies Fund-Institutional share class was named the Best Fund Over 3 Years and Best Fund Over 5 Years by Lipper within its Flexible Portfolio Funds category as of November 30, 2016. This award recognized the Defensive Market Strategies Fund within its Flexible Portfolio Funds category, which is made up of 147 similar funds in the 3-year period and 107 similar funds in the 5-year period. The 2017 Lipper Fund Awards honor funds for their consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. The accolades were announced at an investment industry awards dinner March 23 in New York. This marked the seventh and eighth times in six years that Lipper has awarded GuideStone one of its prestigious trophies. We continue to be energized by these recognitions, which we believe continue to give evidence that one does not need to choose between performance and values in their investing decisions.

We invite you to learn more about GuideStone Funds and the various investment options available by visiting our website, GuideStoneFunds.com/Disclosures, or contacting us at 1-888-GS-FUNDS (1-888-473-8637). Thank you for choosing to invest in GuideStone Funds.

Sincerely,

FROM THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER

 

LOGO   

Unconventional is an appropriate term to characterize calendar year 2017, as many of the traditional relationships that are normally observed within the economy and financial markets did not occur. Over the past 12 months, the financial markets demonstrated unconventionally low volatility and strong returns in the midst of geopolitical pressures that would normally put negative pressure on financial assets, especially those with a higher risk orientation. Last year’s U.S. macroeconomic environment could also be described as unconventional, with low inflation and low wage growth prevalent despite a strengthening economy and accommodative monetary policy. And of course, unconventional is a fitting term for President Trump, whose personality and political style resulted in a non-traditional approach to governing.

 

In a review of 2017, four primary themes stand out: the “risk-on” environment that permeated financial markets across the globe, U.S. central bank monetary policy, stubbornly low U.S.

 

Matt L. Peden, CFA

   inflation and the pursuit of comprehensive tax reform legislation. A summary of each is detailed below.

Risk-On Environment

“Synchronized global growth” was frequently used to describe the global macroeconomic environment in 2017. Last year, the world’s major economies grew in fairly harmonious fashion without a major economy contracting – in fact, all 45 countries tracked by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”), which include both developed and emerging economies, are forecasted to have expanded in 2017 (final figures will be released by the OECD a couple of months into the next year). According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), “The global upswing...reaches more broadly than any in a decade – roughly 75% of the world economy.”

With accommodative monetary policy and the strengthening global outlook as a backdrop, business and consumer optimism remained strong throughout the year. Volatility, meanwhile, was unusually muted in 2017. The CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX®), which measures the market’s expectation of volatility of the S&P 500® Index, hit record lows multiple times during the year – in fact, of the 56 lowest closing levels in its history, 47 of them occurred in 2017.

Soaring confidence and near-absent volatility brought a healthy appetite for investment risk, spurring equity markets across the globe to strong double-digit performance during the year. In the United States, the S&P 500® Index ended the year up 21.83%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 28.11% and the NASDAQ produced gains of 29.64%. Astoundingly, all three indexes hit record highs more than 60 times each in 2017 – with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ both closing at all-time highs over 70 times during the year. Non-U.S. equities performed as well as their U.S. counterparts (in U.S. dollar terms). The MSCI EAFE Index, which measures the equity market performance in global developed markets (excluding the United States and Canada), ended the year up 25.03%. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which represents the performance of securities in 24 emerging market countries, gained 37.28%. In general, non-U.S. equities were further benefitted from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies.

Directionally, fixed income markets performed the same as equities – the higher the risk, the higher the returns experienced. Indexes for both U.S. investment grade and U.S. high yield bonds closed the year in positive territory. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index – a proxy for the broader U.S. bond market – gained 3.54% for the year. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield – Corporate Index, which measures the performance of non-investment grade corporate bonds, posted an annual return of 7.50%. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, which provides a broad-based measure of global investment grade bonds, closed up 7.39% for the year. The higher performance of non-investment grade and global bonds provided further evidence of the “risk-on” environment that was prevalent throughout 2017.

Securities in the Funds do not match those in the indexes and performance of the Funds will differ. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. For current Fund performance, please visit www.guidestonefunds.com.

Central Bank Monetary Policy

Nearly 10 years removed from the financial crisis that precariously swept across the world, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) finds itself in uncharted territory. Now that the U.S. economy is strengthening, the Fed must develop and execute a strategy to withdraw the financial stimulus measures of the past decade. However, these particular stimuli – near zero interest rates and quantitative easing (“QE”) – have never been used by the Fed to such a large degree, either individually or in combination, prior to the financial crisis. As such, there is no historical precedent by which to model the Fed’s actions or gauge the Fed’s success on such a pullback.

Obvious steps in a “return to normalcy” include raising interest rates and discontinuing QE (the purchase of government and other securities in an effort to increase the supply of money in the economy). To that extent, 2017 was a fairly active year for the Fed. After raising the federal funds rate just one time each in 2015 and 2016, respectively, the Fed increased the rate three times in 2017. The third increase, which occurred during the Fed’s December meeting, brought the new rate target to a range of 1.25%-1.50%. Moreover, the Fed also began reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet in October, marking the important start of the formal QE unwinding process.

While this tightening of monetary policy signals nearer-term confidence in the direction of the U.S. economy, the Fed has been and will likely continue to be very measured and well-telegraphed in its actions in a concentrated effort to not unduly upset financial markets.

In other Fed news, President Trump in November announced his nomination of Jerome Powell to succeed Janet Yellen, existing Chairman of the Fed, when her term expires in early 2018. While the change from Dr. Yellen to Mr. Powell is expected to be a relative non-event, there is a risk that a Powell-led Fed may deviate from the slow pace of policy normalization favored by Dr. Yellen – especially if inflationary pressures begin to pick up.

Low Inflation

Inflation remained stubbornly low throughout the year. The Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), which represents inflation by measuring the change in prices paid by consumers for retail goods and other items, rose 2.1% for the year. For comparison, the average annual inflation rate from 1958-2016, as calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is 3.7%.

While persistently low inflation can be the result of many factors, two specific drivers stood out in 2017: continued technological innovation and low wage growth. On the technological front, the advancement of new technologies has reduced production costs and increased consumers’ ability to comparison shop. Regarding wages, wage growth remained somewhat sluggish throughout the

Table of Contents

year – ending 2017 at a 2.5% annualized rate – despite unemployment sitting at a 17-year low of 4.1%. Many market pundits were watching wage growth closely, as a further uptick could be a catalyst for higher inflation and higher interest rates.

Tax Reform

In late December, Congress passed and President Trump signed into law the long-promised and much-anticipated Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This far-reaching piece of legislation – the biggest overhaul of the U.S. tax code in over 30 years – enacted significant tax changes to both corporations and individual taxpayers. The centerpiece of the bill is a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

The tax bill is estimated to result in a tax savings of $1.5 trillion over the next decade. It is projected that individuals and small businesses will see over $120 billion of tax relief in 2018, while the combined tax changes could provide a 10%-12% bump in earnings per share growth of the S&P 500® Index over the next 12 months. While the corporate tax cuts are permanent, those for individual taxpayers will expire in 2025 unless future changes are made.

Conclusion

Many financial pundits described 2017 as a “Goldilocks” environment of “just right” market conditions – a strong increase in financial asset prices driven by steady economic growth and low levels of unemployment, interest rates, inflation and volatility. As we enter 2018, many questions remain. Will markets continue their unabated upward trajectory? When will volatility return? The markets seemed to ignore several major political and geopolitical events in 2017 – what will prove to be the catalyst for market upheaval?

Unfortunately, the answers to these questions are not often apparent until after the fact. For 2018, GuideStone Capital

Management, LLC (“GSCM”) believes that interest rates and inflation are the main indicators on which investors should focus. If both remain low, Goldilocks could extend her stay in 2018, further supporting the long-extended bull market. However, if inflation outpaces expectations and wage growth accelerates, prompting the Fed to quicken the pace of interest rate increases, markets could enter a lower-return environment defined by higher levels of volatility and unpredictability.

In the face of uncertainty, an active manager like GSCM can help investors play multiple positions on the investment field. GSCM works to identify opportunities and risks in financial markets and is well-positioned to make opportunistic moves within the Funds in anticipation of, or in response to, specific market events or changing market conditions.

As investment adviser to GuideStone Funds, GSCM strives to be a prudent steward of your investment assets. Thank you for investing in GuideStone Funds and for allowing GSCM the privilege of managing your investment assets. Please feel free to contact us if you have any comments or questions.

1The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency).

2The MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The MSCI EAFE Index consists of the following 21 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

3The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. The index consists of the following 24 emerging market country indices: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates.

4The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 2000® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure that larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the actual small-cap opportunity set.

5The S&P 500® Index is a market capitalization-weighted equity index composed of approximately 500 U.S. companies representing all major industries. The index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of its constituents.

S&P 500® Index Returns

The U.S. large-cap equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, finished the year with an impressive 21.8% total return for 2017; the ninth straight year of positive returns for the index and the third strongest year over that time frame. The positive momentum in the markets that began with 2016’s election gained steam throughout the year with the index posting more than 75 new index level highs since that time. Investor anticipation of, and ultimately reaction to, U.S. tax reform propelled the market past various geopolitical issues (both domestic and abroad). Technology and materials companies led the way in contributing to the index’s strong performance (38.8% and 23.8%, respectively) while the stocks of energy companies marginally weighed on overall performance (-1%). Additionally, the positive performance was broad-based and not just concentrated in a handful of sectors as nine of the 11 S&P 500® sectors posted positive double-digit returns.

Russell 2000® Index Returns

The U.S. small cap equity market, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, returned 14.7% for the year. Since the global financial crisis in 2008, the index has returned positive performance in seven of the past nine years. The divergence in small cap stocks relative to large cap stocks persisted throughout the year as larger companies were favored by investors over their smaller brethren. Larger companies generally stood to benefit greater from tax reform while smaller cap companies faced potentially greater headwinds in the form of higher rates and slightly negative implications from tax reform, on a relative basis. Health care and industrials were stand-outs for positive performance (36.1% and 18.6%, respectively) while small cap energy stocks were unable to gain positive ground (and ended down -17.2% for the year) after enjoying a relatively strong 2016.

MSCI EAFE Index Returns

International developed market equities, as measured by the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index, rose a spectacular 25.0% for 2017, on the back of a relatively muted 1.0% return in 2016. As a widespread economic recovery began to take hold for the index’s largest region, Europe, investors rewarded the region’s stocks as they simultaneously hailed their future growth prospects. Relative to U.S. markets, international markets have not recovered as dramatically from the global financial crisis, and 2017 was a year in which they gained additional ground in that recovery. All sectors posted positive performance, with financial services and consumer discretionary stocks contributing the largest return to the overall index. The largest regional weighting in the index, Europe, was also the strongest performer for the year as the region made meaningful strides in its economic recovery during 2017.

MSCI Emerging Markets Index Returns

International emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, gained 37.3% for the year, more than tripling 2016’s return and marking its highest annual return since 2009. Chinese Internet stocks were the darling of the emerging markets as many returned greater than 100.0% for the year. Technology, as a whole, contributed roughly 40% of the index’s gain. Not unlike many other pockets of the global market landscape, financial services was also a strong contributor of returns as interest rates ticked up globally and aided in the profitability of the sector. At the country level, China and Poland experienced the strongest gains, but it is worth noting that 18 of the index’s 24 constituent countries were able to post gains of 25% or greater.

Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index Returns

The broad U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, logged a 3.5% gain for 2017; its fourth consecutive annual period of positive performance. As was the case last year, corporate bonds were once again the strongest performing group with the utilities sub-sector providing the most lift within the grouping. Strong performance was also seen out of the securitized bonds grouping with commercial mortgage-backed securities doing well in the face of a continued strength in commercial real estate growth. The difference in yield between investment grade and high yield bonds is close to all-time lows and investors are cautiously navigating their fixed-income exposure as the inevitable higher yields will equate to lower bond prices. Because of this, investors tended to favor shorter duration instruments throughout the year as the Federal Reserve (the Fed”) continued to hike interest rates.

 

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.

Data Source: Factset

Federal Reserve

After implementing one interest rate increase in 2016, robust U.S. growth aided in the Federal Open Market Committee’s (“FOMC”) decision to raise interest rates three times in 2017, ending the year at a range of 1.25% - 1.50%. Members of the FOMC also embarked on the difficult task of slowly reducing the Fed’s balance sheet after years of injecting liquidity into the system by allowing $10 billion in bonds to mature each month, with the intention of raising this monthly amount over time to $50 billion per month. Strong economic growth and low unemployment readings coupled with a rising inflation rate (albeit at a stubbornly slow pace) led the FOMC to project raising rates more times in 2018. While tax reform will likely lead to further growth, the Fed will continue to delicately reduce its balance sheet and balance rate increases in an attempt to keep the U.S. economy from overheating.

 

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 U.S. Treasury Yield Curve experienced a flattening throughout 2017 as the Fed raised rates on the short end of the curve and longer-term rates marginally declined. The 10-year U.S. Treasury ended the year at 2.40% after trading in a fairly narrow range, compared to 2.45% at the end of 2016. On the other hand, the shorter end of the curve (one- and three-year rates, for instance) ended the year at 1.76% and 1.98%, compared to 0.85% and 1.47%, respectively, in 2016. While the great bond bull market of the past 30+ years is largely over, as rates have ground ever-lower over that time frame, the flatness of the yield curve might marginally be offset by the reduction of U.S. Treasury securities purchases by global central banks. Additionally, it is wise to not underestimate the safe haven that U.S. government bonds provide in times of equity market fears (thus increasing demand for said 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, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The Annualized Expense Ratio may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

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 2015 Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a greater percentage of exposure to equity and fixed-income securities with a smaller percentage allocated to real assets and alternative investments. The Fund followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 50.00% fixed income securities, 38.00% equity securities, 8.00% real assets and 4.00% alternative investments as of December 31, 2017.

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 11.67% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. Contribution to absolute performance from U.S. equities was positive, largely due to an acceleration of global economic growth. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added meaningfully to performance. Non-U.S. equity markets outperformed their U.S. counterparts due in part to higher economic growth and a depreciating U.S. dollar. The International Equity Fund benefited from these macroeconomic tailwinds, along with strong security selection, and was the largest equity investment contributor to absolute performance. The Fund’s fixed-income allocation modestly added to investment returns, and the Medium-Duration Bond Fund was the largest fixed-income investment contributor. The contribution to absolute performance by the Fund’s exposure to real assets was roughly flat, with a positive performance by the Global Real Estate Securities Fund offset by a negative performance from the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund, which was liquidated and terminated on September 22, 2017. An allocation to alternative investments was added on July 1, 2017, and was a small contributor to absolute performance.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2017 (11.67% versus 10.88%). The largest contributors to relative outperformance were the International Equity Fund and the Defensive Market Strategies Fund. The largest negative detractor to relative performance was the Global Natural Resource 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 positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of the Select Funds that represent various asset classes. The Fund is managed to the specific year included in its name (“Target Date”) and assumes a retirement age of 65. The Target Date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would plan to retire and likely stop making any new investments in the Fund. The Fund is designed for an investor who anticipates retiring at or near the Target Date and who plans to withdraw the value of the account in the Fund gradually after retirement. Over time, the allocation to asset classes will change according to a predetermined “glide path,” which adjusts the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until 12 years after Target Date. (Effective January 12, 2018, the glide path was extended to 15 years after Target Date.) 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. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. 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, 2017, 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 My Destination 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 followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 27.00% fixed income securities, 67.00% equity securities, 4.00% real assets and 2.00% alternative investments as of December 31, 2017.

MyDestination 2035 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 securities and real assets. The Fund followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 20.00% fixed-income securities, 78.00% equity securities and 2.00% real assets as of December 31, 2017.

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 18.54% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. Contribution to absolute performance from U.S. equities was significantly positive, largely due to an acceleration of global economic growth. The Growth Equity Fund was the largest equity investment contributor to absolute performance, benefiting from macroeconomic tailwinds and strong alpha generation. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added meaningfully to performance. Non-U.S. equity markets outperformed their U.S. counterparts due in part to higher economic growth and a depreciating U.S. dollar. The Fund’s fixed-income allocation modestly added to investment returns, and the Medium-Duration Bond Fund was the largest fixed-income investment contributor. The contribution to absolute performance by the Fund’s exposure to real assets was roughly flat, with a positive performance by the Global Real Estate Securities Fund offset by a negative performance from the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund, which liquidated and terminated on September 22, 2017.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2017 (18.54% versus 18.16%). The largest contributors to relative outperformance were the International Equity Fund and the Growth Equity Fund. The largest negative detractor to relative performance was the Global Natural Resource 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 positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of the Select Funds that represent various asset classes. The Fund is managed to the specific year included in its name (“Target Date”) and assumes a retirement age of 65. The Target Date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would plan to retire and likely stop making any new investments in the Fund. The Fund is designed for an investor who anticipates retiring at or near the Target Date and who plans to withdraw the value of the account in the Fund gradually after retirement. Over time, the allocation to asset classes will change according to a predetermined “glide path,” which adjusts the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until 12 years after Target Date. (Effective January 12, 2018, the glide path was extended to 15 years after Target Date.) 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. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. 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, 2017, 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.

Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. 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, 2017, 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 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 securities and real assets. The Fund followed an allocation glide path designed to become more conservative over time, and the targeted allocations were approximately 7.00% fixed-income investments, 91.00% equity investments and 2.00% real assets as of December 31, 2017.

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 21.73% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. Contribution to absolute performance from U.S. equities was significantly positive, largely due to an acceleration of global economic growth. The Growth Equity Fund was the largest equity investment contributor to absolute performance benefiting from macroeconomic tailwinds and strong alpha generation. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added meaningfully to performance. Non-U.S. equity markets outperformed their U.S. counterparts due in part to higher economic growth and a depreciating U.S. dollar. The Fund’s fixed-income allocation modestly added to investment returns, and the Medium-Duration Bond Fund was the largest fixed-income investment contributor. The contribution to absolute performance by the Fund’s exposure to real assets was roughly flat, with a positive performance by the Global Real Estate Securities Fund offset by a negative performance from the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund, which liquidated and terminated on September 22, 2017.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2017 (21.73% versus 21.22%). The largest contributors to relative outperformance were the International Equity Fund and the Growth Equity Fund. The largest negative detractor to relative performance was the Global Natural Resource 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 positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of the Select Funds that represent various asset classes. The Fund is managed to the specific year included in its name (“Target Date”) and assumes a retirement age of 65. The Target Date refers to the approximate year an investor in the Fund would plan to retire and likely stop making any new investments in the Fund. The Fund is designed for an investor who anticipates retiring at or near the Target Date and who plans to withdraw the value of the account in the Fund gradually after retirement. Over time, the allocation to asset classes will change according to a predetermined “glide path,” which adjusts the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until 12 years after Target Date. (Effective January 12, 2018, the glide path was extended to 15 years after Target Date.) 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. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. By investing in this Fund, you will incur the expenses of the Fund, in addition to those of the underlying Select Funds. 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, 2017, 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.

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, real assets and alternative investments. The Fund had a target of, but was not limited to, an asset allocation of 60.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 20.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 8.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds, 7.00% Real Assets Select Funds and 5.00% Alternatives Select Fund as of December 31, 2017.

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 7.11% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017, driven primarily by positive absolute performance of the underlying Equity Select Funds. Within the Equity Select Funds, the Fund’s absolute return was most positively influenced by its exposure to the International Equity Fund, followed by exposure to the Growth Equity Fund and the Defensive Market Strategies Fund. The Fund’s Real Assets Select Funds allocation added to investment returns, as the Inflation Protected Bond Fund and the Global Real Estate Securities 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 Strategic Alternatives Fund was added on July 1, 2017, and was a small contributor to absolute performance.

The Fund matched its composite benchmark in 2017 (7.11% versus 7.11%). The largest contributor to relative outperformance was the Fixed Income Select Fund allocation. The largest negative detractor to relative performance was the U.S. Equity Select Fund allocation due to the Defensive Markets Strategies Fund’s defensive orientation relative to a strong performing U.S. equity market.

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 positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective, through investments in the Select Funds, by combining a greater percentage of fixed-income securities with a smaller percentage of equity securities. By investing in the Fund you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. 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 equity 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, 2017, 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 in real assets and alternative investments. The Fund had a target of, but was not limited to, an asset allocation of 43.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 30.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 15.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds, 9.00% Real Assets Select Funds and 3.00% Alternatives Select Fund as of December 31, 2017.

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 12.30% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. 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 Non-U.S Equity Select Funds. The Fund’s absolute return was most positively influenced by its exposure to the International Equity Fund, the Growth Equity Fund and the Value Equity Fund. The Fixed Income Select Fund allocation also provided positive results, with the most positive contributions attributed to the Global Bond Fund and Medium-Duration Bond Fund. The Strategic Alternatives Fund was added on July 1, 2017, and was a small contributor to absolute performance.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2017 (12.30% versus 12.11%). The largest contributor to relative outperformance was the Fixed Income Select Fund allocation. The largest negative detractor to relative performance was the U.S. Equity Select Fund allocation due to the Defensive Markets Strategies Fund’s defensive orientation relative to a strong performing U.S. equity market.

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 positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective, through investments in the Select Funds, by combining approximately equal percentages of fixed-income securities and equity securities. By investing in the Fund you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. 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 equities 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, 2017, 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 27.00% Fixed Income Select Funds, 42.00% U.S. Equity Select Funds, 28.00% Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds and 3.00% Real Assets Select Funds as of December 31, 2017.

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 18.59% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. Contribution to absolute performance from the U.S. Equity Select Funds was positive, largely due to an acceleration of global economic growth. International equity exposure, including both developed and emerging markets, added meaningfully to performance. Non-U.S. equity markets outperformed their U.S. counterparts due in part to higher economic growth and a depreciating U.S. dollar. The International Equity Fund benefited from these macroeconomic tailwinds, along with strong security selection, and was the largest Equity Select Fund contributor to absolute performance. The Fixed Income Select Funds were positive across all underlying strategies, most notably the Medium-Duration Bond Fund. The contribution to absolute performance by the Fund’s exposure to the Real Assets Select Funds was roughly flat with a positive performance by the Global Real Estate Securities Fund offset by a negative performance from the Global Natural Resources Equity Fund, which liquidated and terminated on September 22, 2017.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2017 (18.59% versus 17.33%). The largest contributor to relative outperformance was the Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds allocation. The largest detractor to relative performance was the Real Assets Select Funds allocation led by relative underperformance by the Global Natural Resources 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 positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective, through investments in the Select Funds, by combining a greater percentage of equity securities with a small percentage of fixed-income securities. By investing in the Fund you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying 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. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. 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.

At December 31, 2017, 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.

Aggressive Allocation Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, combined a greater percentage of exposure to U.S. equity securities with a smaller percentage to non-U.S. equity securities. The Fund had a target of, but was not limited to, an asset allocation of 2% Fixed Income Select Funds, 58.00% 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 Fund generated a return of 25.49% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. An allocation to both the U.S. Equity Select Funds and Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds generated positive performance with all underlying Equity Select Funds positively contributing to absolute performance. The largest contributors to absolute performance were the Growth Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund, as each benefited from the acceleration of global growth and strong excess return from security selection.

The Fund outperformed its composite benchmark in 2017 (25.49% versus 23.56%). The largest contributor to relative outperformance was the Non-U.S. Equity Select Funds allocation. The U.S. Equity Select Fund also contributed to relative outperformance.

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 positive impact on Fund performance for the year.

The Fund attempted to achieve its objective, through investments in the Select Funds, by combining a greater percentage of U.S. equity securities with a smaller percentage of international equity securities. By investing in the Fund you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. 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 want to diversify by adding an aggressive investment option that combines U.S. and international stocks. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. 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, 2017, 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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, 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 2017, 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)

The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) continued to unwind its post-crisis stimulus with three 0.25% increases to the federal funds rate in 2017 to a target range of 1.25%-1.50%. This range remains very accommodative and is in line with the FOMC’s goal of maintaining economic expansion while holding inflation near their 2.00% target. Despite the increases in the federal funds rate, short-term rates remained at historically low levels throughout the year, which negatively impacted the returns available to investors.

Given the low interest rate environment, which persisted throughout 2017, money market funds (which are lenders to borrowers at short-term interest rates) experienced another year of moderate returns. At the end of 2017, the three-month U.S. Treasury Bill was yielding 1.37%, although the rate was approximately 0.96% for most of the year. Consequently, the low yield environment made it difficult for money market funds across the industry to post returns, net of expenses, above those of their respective benchmarks, including the Fund.

The Fund is a government money market fund and invested 99.50% or more of its assets in eligible government money market fund securities. 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 0.51% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017, as compared to a 0.82% return for its benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. 3 Month Treasury Bill Index. 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 44 days, compared to 42 days at the end of 2016. In the midst of the difficult interest rate and economic environment, the management of the Fund remained true and steadfast to its investment objective to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity, and the maintenance of a stable per share NAV of $1.00.

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 equity investments.

You could lose money by investment in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time. Yield for the Fund represents the annualization of the Fund’s declared dividends over the period indicated, excluding capital gains distributions.

At December 31, 2017, 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 calculation that measures the price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund 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 ICE BofAML 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017 (1.42% versus 0.42%). 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 U.S. 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 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 positive impact on relative performance as they were used to provide short duration positions when rates increased. Credit default swaps were purchased and were moderate detractors from 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 U.S. and 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 and very slightly detracted from the performance of the Fund. 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 preservation 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 fixed-income securities 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2017, 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.

**Level 3 security has zero value.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, 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 preceding “Futures Contracts outstanding”, “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts outstanding”, “Swap agreement outstanding” and “Forward Rate agreement outstanding” disclosures.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period ended December 31, 2017.

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.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, there were $14,536,025 of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 and Level 1.

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, 2017.

Effective April 1, 2017, the Funds changed administrators from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. to Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”). This transition has resulted in fewer unobservable inputs, as Northern Trust utilizes additional pricing vendors and provides increased pricing coverage. As such, management notes transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 and Level 1 occurred in the Fund in the current year.

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 calculation that measures the sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) normally between three to seven years. (Effective January 12, 2018, the average dollar-weighted duration of the Fund normally varies, in years, between +/- 30% of the duration of the Fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.) The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017 (3.93% versus 3.54%).

The Fund maintained an underweight to investment-grade corporate credit and, therefore, faced a challenging fourth quarter as credit spreads tightened. Ultimately, however, the Fund outperformed for the year due to positive performance over the first three quarters. Tactical U.S. duration and yield curve positioning, high yield bonds and structured products were the strongest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance, as interest rates increased and credit spreads narrowed. U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) provided mixed results as breakeven inflation rates declined. 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, positive 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 positive contributors 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 negative. Through the process of implementing interest rate views and emerging markets strategies during the year, interest rate swaps were used but did not have an impact on the performance of the Fund over the previous 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 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 fixed-income securities 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

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, 2017.

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.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, there were $23,884,010 of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 and Level 1.

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, 2017.

Effective April 1, 2017, the Funds changed administrators from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. to Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”). This transition has resulted in fewer unobservable inputs, as Northern Trust utilizes additional pricing vendors and provides increased pricing coverage. As such, management notes transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 and Level 1 occurred in the Fund in the current year.

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 calculation that measures the sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) normally greater than or equal to seven years. The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed 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, 2017 (10.13% versus 10.37%). The Fund has outperformed its composite benchmark over the five-, seven- and 10-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2017. (Effective January 1, 2018, the composite benchmark of the Fund changed to 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government/Credit Bond Index and 50% Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index to show how the Fund’s performance compares with the returns of an index of securities that are similar to those in which the Fund invests.)

Security selection and credit exposure were the primary contributors to relative performance for the Fund during 2017. In particular, the Fund benefited from an overweight to below-investment grade corporate bonds as credit spreads narrowed. The underweight exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds also generated positive return during the period. Security selection within the industrial and financial segments of the corporate sector contributed to the strong relative performance of the Fund during the year. The Fund did not invest in derivative investments in 2017.

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 equities, 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 fixed-income securities 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2017, 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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, 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.

**Prior to January 1, 2018, the Fund’s primary broad-based benchmark was the Bloomberg Barclays US Long Credit Index, and the additional benchmarks provided were the Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government Bond Index and a benchmark comprised of 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Credit Index and 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government Bond Index. The Fund changed its primary broad-based index because the duration of the Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government/Credit Bond Index more closely aligns with the expected effective duration of the Fund. The Fund’s additional benchmarks changed to the Bloomberg Barclays US Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index and a benchmark comprised of 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Long Government/Credit Bond Index and 50% Bloomberg Barclays US Intermediate Government/Credit 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 Fund is actively managed and invests in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of global fixed-income securities with an average dollar-weighted duration (a calculation that measures the sensitivity of a bond or bond fund 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, 2017, the Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark, 50% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, 25% J.P. Morgan EMBI Plus and 25% Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index, (7.69% versus 7.66%). The outperformance was driven primarily by security selection during the year. Investment grade credit, high yield credit and securitized sectors were the top contributors to the relative annual performance of the Fund. An overweight to the euro was a positive as the currency strengthened against the U.S. dollar. A shorter duration and an underweight to U.S. Treasury bonds also contributed positively.

Additionally, U.S. Treasury 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 certain currency options detracted from performance, overall these strategies contributed modestly to 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 (junk bonds). These securities involve greater risks of default, are more volatile than bonds rated investment grade and are inherently speculative. Obligations of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets often have more political and economic instability. This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2017, 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 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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, 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 25% J.P. Morgan EMBI Plus, 50% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index and 25% Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index. 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, 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 preceding “Futures Contracts outstanding” and “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts outstanding” disclosures.

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, 2017.

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.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, there were $979,279 of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 and Level 1.

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, 2017.

Effective April 1, 2017, the Funds changed administrators from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. to Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”). This transition has resulted in fewer unobservable inputs, as Northern Trust utilizes additional pricing vendors and provides increased pricing coverage. As such, management notes transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 and Level 1 occurred in the Fund in the current year.

Defensive Market Strategies Fund (Unaudited)

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

The Fund achieved its investment objective during 2017. The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its composite benchmark of 50% S&P 500® Index and 50% FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (12.35% versus 10.90%). In a year of strong gains for U.S. equities, the Fund underperformed its primary broad-based market index, represented by the S&P 500® Index, by 9.48%, net of fees. The Fund’s lower returns relative to the S&P 500® Index was due to the Fund’s materially lower market sensitivity and volatility compared to the S&P 500® Index.

The Fund allocated its assets among three of its four principal investment strategies – long-only equity, options equity and convertible bonds. For the calendar year 2017, all three strategies contributed positively to absolute returns.

The long-only equity strategy was the largest contributor to benchmark-relative outperformance. While contributing to benchmark relative outperformance, the long-only equity strategy underperformed the S&P 500® Index for the year due to its multi-cap orientation, value and dividend-paying stock selection bias and lower beta orientation. The strategy was negatively impacted by its allocations to mid- and small-cap equities, which underperformed large-cap equities for the year. In addition, a style bias to value equity and dividend paying securities detracted from relative results, as these sectors underperformed growth equity securities and those paying little or no dividend for the year. Lastly, the long-only allocation had a lower market sensitivity to the S&P 500® Index which contributed to underperformance due to a strong U.S. equity market.

The options equity strategy detracted from the Fund’s benchmark-relative performance, as the strategy had a lower risk profile than the Fund’s benchmark and will typically underperform in very strong equity markets. However, the strategy fulfilled its role in the Fund and delivered positive returns primarily derived from collecting option premiums by selling put options, as the year experienced very little downside volatility for equities.

The convertible bonds strategy detracted from benchmark-relative outperformance, and trailed modestly the broader convertible bond market, as measured by the Thomson Reuters US Focus All-Cap Convertible Bond Index, due mostly to its conservative positioning. However, the convertible bond strategy still managed to generate low double digit absolute returns, as convertible bonds benefited from their equity sensitivity to the broad-based equity market rally and, in particular, benefited from the strategy’s exposure to the technology sector, as it led all other sectors for the year.

Some of the underlying strategies may utilize derivative instruments within the Fund. During 2017, the Fund sold equity options in order to hedge (reduce) equity exposure and/or to collect the option premium from selling. The use of equity options contributed meaningfully to absolute performance during 2017. Equity futures were used to provide market exposure for a portion of the cash in the Fund and were additive to performance. In addition, currency forwards were used to hedge foreign currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar and also contributed positively to the Fund’s absolute 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 equities at a slightly lower risk level than an all equity portfolio. In addition to the interest and credit rate risks associated with fixed-income securities, a convertible security’s market value also tends to reflect the market price of the common stock of the issuing company when that stock price approaches or is greater than the convertible security’s “conversion price.” This Fund is subject to interest rate risk. Meaning, when interest rates rise, the value of the existing fixed-income securities decrease and vice versa. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Short sales involve selling a security the Fund does not own in anticipation that the security will decline in price. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will required to buy the security sold short (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s potential loss on a short position is limited only by the maximum attainable price of the security less the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Therefore, in theory, stocks sold short have unlimited risk. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect “leverages” the Fund. The use of leverage may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses, and leverage also creates interest expense that may lower the Fund’s overall returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as 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 “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts outstanding” disclosures on the preceding page(s).

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, 2017.

There were no transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

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.

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, 2017.

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 21.65% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017, as compared to a return of 21.83% for the S&P 500® Index. The return differential was primarily a result of social restrictions and expenses of the Fund.

In 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, 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 outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017 (15.25% versus 13.66%). Large cap value stocks posted double digit positive returns during a period where the market rewarded lower dividend yielding and higher quality names within the index. Overweight exposure and security selection within the technology sector added value during the year, while security selection within the financial services and consumer discretionary sectors also contributed to benchmark relative performance for the period. Security selection within producer durables and consumer staples detracted some value during the year.

In 2017, 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 equities. 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, 2017, 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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, 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 outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017 (32.06% versus 30.21%). Large cap growth stocks continued to dominate market performance as the market rewarded stocks with higher price-to-earnings (PE) ratios, higher growth and lower dividend yielding names within the index. Overweight exposure to these areas benefitted benchmark-relative performance for the year. Security selection within the technology, financial services and consumer staples sectors also contributed to benchmark-relative returns during the year.

In 2017, 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 equities and would like to diversify their portfolio by adding a potentially higher return, higher risk option of equities. 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, 2017, 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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, 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, 2017 (12.67% versus 14.65%). Small cap growth stocks significantly outperformed small cap value stocks during a year when the market rewarded stocks with higher beta, higher price-to-earnings (PE) ratios, lower dividend yields and higher quality names within the index. 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. Underweight exposure and security selection within the healthcare sector detracted value during the period. Overweight exposure to the energy sector and security selection within the producer durables sector also detracted from the one-year period performance.

In 2017, 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 equities. 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, 2017, 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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the Russell 2000® 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.

International Equity Index Fund (Unaudited)

Developed non-U.S. markets outperformed their U.S. counterparts in what was a strong year for both market regions. The MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (Net) (“MSCI EAFE Index”), a measure of international developed market returns, posted a 25.03% return for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. As was generally the case globally, growth-oriented equities were dominant relative to those that are value-oriented. At the country level, Japan, the United Kingdom and France contributed the most to the index’s return, with all countries positively contributing to the index’s performance. Technology and materials were the strongest performing sectors. The weakest sector, telecommunications, still realized a double digit absolute return. Weakness in the U.S. dollar also contributed positively to the performance of the index during the year with the local return index underperforming the U.S. dollar index by 9.80%.

The Fund was passively managed and attempted to duplicate the investment composition and performance of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. The objective of the Fund is to provide investment results approximating the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index. (The MSCI EAFE Index is a free-float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada.) 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 may be excluded from the Fund’s portfolio because of social investment policies and restrictions (100% would indicate a perfect correlation). For the one-year period ended December 31, 2017, the Fund returned 24.69%; whereas, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 25.03%. The return differential was primarily a result of social restrictions and expenses of the Fund.

In 2017, 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 equities. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets often have more political and economic instability. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2017, 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 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 outperformed their U.S. counterparts in what was a strong year for both market regions. The MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (Net) (“MSCI EAFE Index”), a measure of international developed market returns, posted a 25.03% return for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. As was generally the case globally, growth-oriented equities were dominant relative to those that are value-orientated. At the country level, Japan, the United Kingdom and France contributed the most to the index’s return, with all countries positively contributing to index performance. Technology and materials were the strongest performing sectors. The weakest sector, telecommunications, still realized a double digit absolute return. Weakness in the U.S. dollar also had a positive effect on the index during the year.

The Fund primarily invests in equity securities of foreign companies in countries having economies and markets generally considered to be developed, but may also invest in equity securities of foreign companies located in emerging markets. The Fund’s portfolio is diversified among a large number of companies across different industries, economic sectors and countries. The Investor Class of the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017 (29.50% versus 25.03%). On a country basis, a tactical overweight exposure to China and security selection within Germany and Italy positively impacted benchmark-relative performance. On the negative side, security selection within the United Kingdom and France detracted from benchmark-relative performance. On a sector basis, security selection and an overweight to the technology and consumer discretionary sectors contributed, while underweight exposure and security selection to the telecommunications 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 equities. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets often have more political and economic instability. 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Short sales involve selling a security the Fund does not own in anticipation that the security will decline in price. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will required to buy the security sold short (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s potential loss on a short position is limited only by the maximum attainable price of the security less the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Therefore, in theory, stocks sold short have unlimited risk. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect “leverages” the Fund. The use of leverage may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses, and leverage also creates interest expense that may lower the Fund’s overall returns. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

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, 2007 to December 31, 2017, 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.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, 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 preceding “Futures Contracts outstanding”, “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts outstanding” and ’Swap agreement outstanding” disclosures.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

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, 2017.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund (Unaudited)

Emerging markets equities outperformed their developed markets counterparts during 2017 and benefitted from prospects of higher economic growth as their recovery continues. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) posted a gain of 7.44% for the fourth quarter and advanced 37.28% for the year. Countries with the strongest gains for the year included Poland, China and Korea. Pakistan and Qatar were the only countries with negative returns, in U.S. dollars. All 11 sectors experienced positive returns for 2017, with more than half of the index’s gains attributable to technology and financial services sectors stocks. The health care and utilities sectors contributed the least to the index’s overall performance.

The Fund is actively managed and invests mainly in equity securities that are economically tied to emerging markets. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio is diversified among a large number of companies across different industries and economic sectors. The Investor Class of the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net), for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017 (35.37% versus 37.28%). On a country basis, security selection in South Africa and Brazil contributed to benchmark-relative performance. Underweight exposure to China as well as security selection among that country’s stocks had the largest negative impact on the Fund. On a sector basis, security selection within the consumer discretionary sector as well as an overweight and positive security selection within the industrials sector contributed to benchmark-relative returns. Meanwhile, security selection within the technology and health care 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 markets equities. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets often have more political and economic instability. Medium- and small-sized companies stocks have historically been subject to more investment risk and more volatile and less liquid than large company stocks, respectively. 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2017, 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 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.

Inflation Protected Bond Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund was actively managed and was primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) with an average dollar-weighted duration (a calculation that measures the sensitivity of a bond or bond fund 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, 2017 (2.21% versus 3.01%).

TIPS were positive for three quarters in 2017, with the benchmark index rising 3.01%. Inflation was relatively muted throughout much of the year despite continued strength in economic conditions. An overweight to investment grade corporate bonds along with allocations to asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgages and sovereign securities were the primary contributors to the Fund’s performance. This lack of inflation provided support for U.S. government bonds to produce better than expected returns. However, a slight rebound in inflation expectations during the second half of the year helped TIPS to post a positive return for 2017. The 10-year breakeven inflation levels ended 2017 at 1.96%

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

Certain strategies involving derivatives were utilized during 2017. Interest rate futures and interest rate options were utilized to manage duration and yield curve exposure and to express active views on the valuations of securities. These securities had a negative 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 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. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2017, 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.

Global Real Estate Securities Fund (Unaudited)

Global real estate securities performed well as strong economic data around the globe bolstered broad performance across the asset class. Property fundamentals remained vibrant throughout 2017 as demand for an array of property types persisted. For 2017, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Net) rose 10.36%. The Fund provides exposure to real estate by investing in equity securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and other real estate related companies. The Fund was diversified among property sectors and geographical locations. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Net), for the 2017 calendar year (10.72% vs. 10.36%). Stock selection in the office and residential sectors were particularly strong while an underweight and poor stock selection in the diversified sector, along with stock selection in the healthcare sector, weighed on performance.

In 2017, 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, global real estate securities. This Fund invests substantial assets in REITs 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. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets often have more political and economic instability. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

At December 31, 2017, 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.

Strategic Alternatives Fund (Unaudited)

The Fund combines multiple strategies that in aggregate seek to provide absolute returns with both lower volatility than and low correlation with traditional equity and fixed-income markets. Please note that the Fund launched on July 1, 2017, and therefore, the commentary only discusses the factors that contributed to performance from the inception date of the Fund through the end of 2017. The Investor Class of the Fund achieved its investment objective during 2017, outperforming its benchmark the ICE BofAML U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (1.31% versus 0.55%).

The Fund allocated its assets between four principal investment strategies – short-duration high yield, long-short equity, options selling and currency trading. For the calendar year 2017, all four strategies contributed positively to absolute returns and benchmark relative outperformance.

The currency trading strategy was the largest contributor to benchmark relative outperformance. Short exposure to the Australian dollar and the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar were the best performing positions, as both currencies depreciated in value as fundamentals did not justify their valuations. The largest detractor to performance was short exposure to the euro relative to other European currencies.

The options selling strategy delivered positive returns derived from collecting option premium from the selling of fully-covered, exchange listed put options, as the year experienced very little downside volatility. That is, the strategy continued to benefit from selling options priced on implied volatility, while realized volatility came in on average, consistently lower than the implied volatility over the year.

The short-duration high yield bond strategy’s performance contribution was as a result of industry positioning and active credit selection. In particular, increased sector allocation to and positive security selection within the energy sector was additive to performance as better supply and demand prospects led to higher energy prices and tighter spreads for high yield issuers in that sector.

Within the long-short equity strategy, the event-driven sub-strategy contributed muted returns as there were limited announced mergers, and as a result, it had a relatively low allocation. However, the long-short equity sub-strategy generated the majority of returns, through advantageous sector positions and a positive security selection, and propelled the overall strategy to be positive for 2017.

Some of the underlying strategies may utilize derivative instruments within the Fund. During 2017, the Fund sold equity options to collect the option premium. Equity options were also used to hedge equity exposure and to provide synthetic beta exposure to the Fund. Overall, the use of equity options was additive to the Funds’ performance. In addition, long and short currency forwards relative to the U.S. dollar were used to take advantage of dislocations in the currency markets and contributed positively to performance.

This Fund may be suitable for investors who have a short- to medium-term investment horizon, can accept short-term fluctuations in account value and would like to diversify their portfolio with an alternatives investment option. The alternative investment strategies that the Fund pursues are complex and may involve greater risk than traditional investments (stocks, bonds and cash). The performance of alternative investments is not expected to correlate closely with more traditional investments; however, it is possible that alternative investments will decline in value along with equity or fixed-income markets, or both, or that they may not otherwise perform in accordance with expectations. Alternative investments can be highly volatile, are often less liquid, particularly in periods of stress, are generally more complex and less transparent, and may have more complicated tax profiles than traditional investments. In addition, the performance of alternative investments may be more dependent on a sub-adviser’s experience and skill than traditional investments. The use of alternative investments may not achieve the desired effect. Securities of foreign issuers may be negatively impacted by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries, and they also may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Derivatives involve different risks from, and in some respects greater than, those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments. Derivatives may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Short sales involve selling a security the Fund does not own in anticipation that the security will decline in price. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will required to buy the security sold short (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s potential loss on a short position is limited only by the maximum attainable price of the security less the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Therefore, in theory, stocks sold short have unlimited risk. The Fund’s use of short sales in effect “leverages” the Fund. The use of leverage may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses, and leverage also creates interest expense that may lower the Fund’s overall returns. The Fund’s currency investment strategy may be impacted by currency exchange rates, which can fluctuate significantly over short or extended periods of time. These changes may be caused by governmental or political factors that affect the value of what the Fund owns and its share price. The Fund may experience high portfolio turnover, which may result in higher costs and capital gains. The Fund is a recently formed mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. There can be no assurances that its objective will be met and you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

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 25 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 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.”

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 and Asset Allocation Funds are commonly referred to as “Fund of Funds.”

Effective February 10, 2017 the assets of the MyDestination 2005 Fund (“2005 Fund”) were transferred to the Conservative Allocation Fund, in accordance with the Board approved reorganization (the “Reorganization”). Over time, the 2005 Fund changed its asset allocation following its predetermined glide path and its allocations were substantially similar to those of the Conservative Allocation Fund. The tax-free Reorganization occurred approximately 12 years after 2005. Legal expenses incurred as a result of the Reorganization were deemed to be nonroutine expenses due to the unusual nature and infrequency of occurrence.

The table below summarizes the asset transfers and conversion ratios related to the reorganization.

Because the combined MyDestination 2005 and Conservative Allocation Funds have been managed as a single Fund since the transfer was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the MyDestination 2005 Fund that have been included in the Conservative Allocation Fund’s Statements of Operations.

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 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

Each Fund, except the Money Market Fund, values 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, LLC (“GSCM”) 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 2, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information regarding the valuation of swap agreements).

 

324


Table of Contents

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 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 Net Asset Value (“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 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 procedures 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.

Master limited partnerships which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Market.

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.

 

325


Table of Contents

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.

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 broker quoted as there have been no adjustments to prices received from third parties as of December 31, 2017.

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 and the Defensive Market Strategies 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/or 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 U.S. 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.

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

 

327


Table of Contents

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 Fixed Income Funds 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, 2017, 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 U.S. 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 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

 

328


Table of Contents

d. Loan Participations

The Fixed Income Funds and the Defensive Market Strategies 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, Defensive Market Strategies Fund, and the Strategic Alternatives 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 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. REITs

The Global 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.

f. 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.

g. 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 Fixed Income Funds may sell short U.S. Treasury securities and derivatives such as, but not limited to, swaps, futures contracts and currency forwards to manage risk (e.g., duration, currency, credit, etc.). The Fixed Income Funds may 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. The Fixed Income Funds did not have any dollar roll transactions at December 31, 2017. The Strategic Alternatives Fund may establish short positions in stocks of companies with a market value of up to 40% of the Fund’s assets. The Defensive Market Strategies 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 10% of the Fund’s assets.

At December 31, 2017, the value of securities sold short in the Low-Duration Bond Fund, Strategic Alternatives Fund and International Equity Fund amounted to $5,407,911, $39,678,476 and $75,217,872, respectively.

h. Synthetic Convertible Instruments

The Defensive Market Strategies Fund invests in synthetic convertible instruments. Synthetic convertible instruments combine fixed-income securities (which may be convertible or non-convertible) with the right to acquire equity securities. In establishing a synthetic instrument, a basket of fixed-income securities are pooled with a basket of options or warrants that produce the characteristics similar to a convertible security. 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.

i. 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, Strategic Alternatives Fund and Defensive Market Strategies 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 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.

 

331


Table of Contents

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 and Strategic Alternatives Fund may enter into equity swap contracts, and the Fixed Income Funds may enter into interest rate and credit default swaps. The Fixed Income Funds, International Equity Fund and Emerging Markets 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.

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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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 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, London Clearing House 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, 2017, 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.

Forward Rate Agreements — Forward rate agreements represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount on a fixed future date. The Funds enter into forward rate agreements to gain yield exposure based on anticipated market conditions at the specified termination date of the agreement.

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, 2017, 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, 2017, the Low-Duration Bond Fund and the Medium-Duration Bond Fund are the buyers (“receiving protection”) on a total notional amount of $30,064,000 and $9,190,000, respectively, and the sellers (“providing protection”) on a total notional amount of $0 and $15,850,000, 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 future payments that the Funds could be required to make if the Funds were the seller of protection and a credit event was to occur. Those credit default swaps for which the Funds are providing protection at balance sheet date are summarized as follows:

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 and Global Bond 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, Global 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

Table of Contents

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”.

 

354


Table of Contents

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, 2017, 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.

GuideStone Financial Resources (or its affiliate) voluntarily agreed to waive shareholder servicing fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Investor Class of the Money Market Fund to the extent necessary to maintain a minimum daily net yield of at least 0.01%. This voluntary shareholder servicing fee waiver and expense reimbursement may be changed or terminated with the consent of the Board of Trustees at any time.

GSCM and/or its affiliates have agreed to waive shareholder service fees attributable to the Funds’ investment of cash balances in the Money Market Fund through April 30, 2018.

c. Expense Limitation (Affiliate)

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, such as U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Treasury Notes, 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, 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, 2017, 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

On November 22, 2017, the Funds entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with The Northern Trust Company (Northern Trust) which will expire November 21, 2018. 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, 2017, and there were no outstanding loans at December 31, 2017.

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 the year ended December 31, 2017, the International Equity Fund and Emerging Markets Equity Fund accrued non-U.S. taxes on unrealized gains of $45,805 and $213,344, 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 and the current year (years ended December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2017) 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

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, 2017, 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, 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.

Table of Contents

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

In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (Rule). The Rule contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative instruments. The financial statements presented are in compliance with the most recent Regulation S-X amendments.

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 September 22, 2017, the Global Natural Resources Fund was liquidated in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation and Termination approved by the Board of Trustees on July 17, 2017.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

BOARD REVIEW OF EXISTING 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 in 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 existing sub-advisory agreements among the Adviser, each sub-adviser and the Trust on behalf of each Select Fund (except as noted below), including the sub-advisory agreement among the Adviser, Snow Capital Management LP (“Snow”) and the Trust on behalf of the Small Cap Equity Fund for only a limited term (the “Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement”); 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 (each, an “Agreement,” and collectively, the “Agreements”) were approved for an additional one-year term, except with respect to the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement, at a meeting of the Board held on September 14-15, 2017 (the “Meeting”). The Board’s decision to approve the Agreements reflects the exercise of its reasonable 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 approved them for an initial two-year term within the last two years, the following agreements were not subject to annual renewal at the Meeting: (i) the sub-advisory agreement with ClearBridge Investments, LLC on behalf of the Growth Equity Fund; (ii) the sub-advisory agreement with Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC on behalf of the Strategic Alternatives Fund; (iii) the sub-advisory agreement with Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC on behalf of the Strategic Alternatives Fund; (iv) the sub-advisory agreement with Parametric on behalf of the Strategic Alternatives Fund; and (v) the sub-advisory agreement with Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP on behalf of the Strategic Alternatives Fund.

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 sub-advisers’ other clients; (vi) the amount of the contractual advisory fees in comparison to similarly managed funds and the 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 structure of the Fund’s portfolio, including how each sub-adviser’s strategy complements the strategies of the other sub-advisers. Also, with respect to the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement, as discussed further below, the Board considered, among all other factors deemed relevant by the Board, the merits of both: (i) renewing the agreement in light of the proposed limited term; and (ii) terminating Snow as a sub-adviser of the Small Cap Equity Fund at the end of that limited term.

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 itself and each Target Date Fund, Asset Allocation Fund, Select Fund and applicable sub-advisory firm 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, as did the Investment Management Committee of the Board (“IMC”), 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 also took into account the IMC’s review of information related to the Advisory Agreement, questions submitted by the IMC to GSCM and Trust management regarding GSCM, GSCM and Trust management’s responses to those questions and recommendations made by the IMC.

The Board examined the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by GSCM to the Funds. The Board evaluated GSCM’s experience serving as the Trust’s investment adviser, including GSCM’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 and the allocation of the Funds’ assets among their 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 GSCM 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 GSCM’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 GSCM providing investment management and administrative services to each of the Funds, the systems used by such persons and the ability of GSCM to attract and retain capable personnel. The Board considered the reputation, compliance history, compliance program and financial condition of GSCM. The Board also considered the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the responsibilities that GSCM has as investment adviser to each of 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 GSCM’s services based on its experience, personnel, operations and resources. During their deliberations, the Trustees 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 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, 2017. 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, Medium-Duration Bond, Inflation Protected Bond and Strategic Alternatives Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Extended-Duration Bond, Global Bond, Defensive Market Strategies, Equity Index, Global Real Estate Securities, Value Equity, Growth Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Small Cap Equity and Emerging Markets 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 took into account that each Fund’s total expense ratio, with the exception of the Extended-Duration Bond and International Equity Funds, was lower than the median total expense ratio for such other funds. The Board took into account that the total expense ratio for the Extended-Duration Bond and International Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile, and that no 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, 2017. The Board took into account that the management fees, net of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement, for the Global Real Estate Securities Fund ranked in the first quartile; the Money Market, Low-Duration Bond, Medium-Duration Bond, Global Bond, Inflation Protected Bond, Strategic Alternatives, Value Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Extended-Duration Bond, Defensive Market Strategies, Equity Index, Growth Equity and Emerging Markets Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and the Small Cap Equity Fund 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 took into account that each Fund’s total expense ratio was lower than the median total expense ratio for such other funds, except for the International Equity Index, International Equity and Emerging Markets Equity Funds. The Board took into account that the total expense ratios for the 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 Institutional and Investor Classes provided by the report of an outside consulting firm as of June 30, 2017. The Board took into account that the management fees, net of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement, for each Target Date Fund were lower than the median management fees for the Investor Class and higher than the median management fees for the Institutional Class for other mutual funds in each Fund’s respective asset-stratified peer group, and that the total expense ratios for each Target Date Fund for the Institutional and Investor Classes were higher than the median total expense ratio for such other funds. For the Asset Allocation Funds, the Board took into account that the management fees, net of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement, for each Asset Allocation Fund for the Institutional and Investor Classes were lower than the median management fees for other mutual funds in each Fund’s respective 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, 2017.

For the three-year average annual total return for the period ended June 30, 2017, the Board noted that the Extended-Duration Bond, Global Bond, Defensive Market Strategies and Global Real Estate Securities Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Money Market, Medium-Duration Bond, Growth Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Low-Duration Bond, Inflation Protected Bond, Value Equity and Small Cap Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and the Emerging Markets Equity Fund ranked in the fourth quartile.

For the five-year average annual total return for the period ended June 30, 2017, the Board noted that the Extended-Duration Bond, Global Bond and Defensive Market Strategies Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Money Market, Medium-Duration Bond, Value Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Low-Duration Bond, Growth Equity and Small Cap Equity Funds ranked in the third quartile; and the Inflation Protected Bond and Global Real Estate Securities Funds ranked in the fourth quartile.

For the 10-year average annual total return for the period ended June 30, 2017, the Board noted that the Money Market, Medium-Duration Bond, Extended-Duration Bond, Global Bond and Global Real Estate Securities Funds ranked in the first quartile; the Low-Duration Bond, Growth Equity, Small Cap Equity and International Equity Funds ranked in the second quartile; the Value Equity Fund ranked in the third quartile; and no Fund ranked in the fourth quartile.

The Board then examined the performance information included in the Meeting materials for the Investor Class of each Asset Allocation Fund compared to the relevant benchmark and to Lipper peer rankings for the one-, three-, and five- and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2017, and the Target Date Funds for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2017. Among Morningstar peers, the Board noted that the Conservative Allocation Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year period and in the fourth quartile for the three-, five- and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2017; the Balanced Allocation Fund ranked in the first quartile for the one-year period, in the fourth quartile for the three-year period, in the second quartile for the five-year period and in the third quartile for the 10-year period ended June 30, 2017; the Growth Allocation Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year period, in the fourth quartile for the three- and five-year periods and the third quartile for the 10-year period ended June 30, 2017; and the Aggressive Allocation Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-, three-, five- and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2017.

The Board also noted that among Morningstar peers, the MyDestination 2015 Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year period, in the third quartile for the three- and 10-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the five-year period ended June 30, 2017; the MyDestination 2025 Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year period, in the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the 10-year period ended June 30, 2017; the MyDestination 2035 Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year period, in the fourth quartile for the three- and 10-year periods and in the third quartile for the five-year period ended June 30, 2017; the MyDestination 2045 Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year period, in the fourth quartile for the three- and 10-year periods and in the third quartile for the five-year period ended June 30, 2017; and the MyDestination 2055 Fund ranked in the second quartile for the one-year period and in the fourth quartile for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2017. The Board recognized that the inception date of the MyDestination 2055 Fund was in 2012.

The Board considered the costs to GSCM of serving as the investment adviser to the Funds in accordance with the existing Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the revenues that GSCM received for serving as the investment adviser to the Funds and the fact that any profit realized by GSCM 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 GSCM, 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 GSCM 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 GSCM’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, 2017, only certain Funds are subject to an expense cap. The Board considered the amount of any fees waived by GSCM 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 Extended-Duration Bond and International Equity Funds.

Table of Contents

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

BOARD APPROVAL OF CONTINUATION OF SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (EXCLUDING THE SNOW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT) 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 (excluding the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreements, which is discussed separately below), 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 IMC’s review of information related to the Trust’s sub-advisers, questions submitted by the IMC to GSCM and Trust management regarding various sub-advisers, GSCM and Trust management’s responses to those questions and recommendations made by the IMC. More specifically, the Board examined the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by each sub-adviser.

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 Trustees 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 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 in light of all relevant considerations and the applicable Funds were likely to benefit from each sub-adviser continuing to serve as sub-adviser to the Trust.

Table of Contents

The Board examined the fee schedule for each sub-adviser, noting how the fee levels charged to each applicable Fund 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 determined that the fees to be charged by each sub-adviser were reasonable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided.

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 the 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 because 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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF CONTINUATION AND TERMINATION OF SNOW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Board separately considered renewal of the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement on behalf of the Small Cap Equity Fund for a limited two-month term ending November 30, 2017 (the “Renewal Period”) pursuant to which Snow would manage the orderly liquidation and transition (the “Transition”) of the assets managed by Snow within the Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Snow Portfolio Account”). In considering the existing Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement, 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 Independent Counsel. The Board also took into account the IMC’s review of information related to Snow, questions submitted by the IMC to GSCM and Trust management regarding Snow, GSCM and Trust management’s responses to those questions and recommendations made by the IMC.

In evaluating the advisability of renewing the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement for the limited Renewal Period, the Board considered GSCM’s recommended termination of Snow following the Renewal Period. In this regard, the Board considered the poor relative performance of the Snow Portfolio Account over an extended period and Snow’s inability to take advantage of market environments deemed positive by GSCM for Snow’s investment strategy. The Board also considered GSCM’s assessment

of how Snow’s investment strategy would likely perform in future market environments. As a result of these considerations, and in light of the Trustees’ reasonable business judgment and fiduciary duties, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to terminate Snow following the Renewal Period.

The Board considered GSCM’s view that retaining Snow to liquidate the Snow Portfolio Account was preferable to the engagement of a transition manager to implement an immediate liquidation because the securities in the Snow Portfolio Account were: (i) relatively volatile; (ii) less liquid compared to many domestic equity accounts; and (iii) known and traded by Snow. The Board also considered that Snow would remain a fiduciary with respect to the Snow Portfolio Account during the Renewal Period and would work collaboratively with GSCM to formalize a liquidation strategy. The Board considered that the liquidation strategy would be structured to: (i) fully liquidate the Snow Portfolio Account in an orderly and efficient manner; (ii) seek to minimize market impact to the Snow Portfolio Account; and (iii) include agreed upon milestones whereby the cash generated through the liquidation of securities in the Snow Portfolio Account would be used by GSCM to fund rebalancing efforts of the Asset Allocation Funds and Target Date Funds and/or reallocate assets of the Small Cap Equity Fund to the Fund’s other sub-advisers. The Board noted that Snow would not earn an additional incremental management fee for liquidating the Snow Portfolio Account above the contractual sub-advisory management fee. The Board also noted that Snow’s sub-advisory fees in dollars would decline as the liquidation progressed due to the reduction in the assets of the Snow Portfolio Account. In addition, the Board noted GSCM’s assurance that the Snow Portfolio Account is fully liquidated (including settlement) prior to the end of the Renewal Period.

The Board considered that, with Snow, in its capacity as sub-adviser to the Small Cap Equity Fund, directing the liquidation of the Snow Portfolio Account, no liquidation or transition manager would be utilized. The Board noted the estimated costs to liquidate the Snow portfolio account utilizing a liquidation manager provided by GSCM. The Board also noted that, because the Small Cap Equity Fund pays its sub-advisers directly, the proposed termination of Snow would have no impact on GSCM’s profitability with respect to the Fund. The Board also noted GSCM’s view that the method of liquidation to be deployed by Snow was preferable to an immediate liquidation, and GSCM’s expectation that the proposed approach would benefit the Small Cap Equity Fund and its shareholders.

When considering the renewal of the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Renewal Period, the Board considered all factors deemed relevant by the Board to evaluating the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Snow during the Renewal Period and the reasonableness of the sub-advisory fee to be charged in exchange for such services. In addition to the foregoing, the Board took into account Snow’s experience serving as a sub-adviser to the Small Cap Equity Fund. The Board noted the experience of key personnel at Snow providing investment management services and the systems used by such persons. The Board noted Snow’s compliance history, compliance program and financial condition. The Board also noted the terms of the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement and the responsibilities that Snow has with respect to the Small Cap Equity Fund, including the responsibility of the day-to-day management of the Snow Portfolio Account, implementation of the liquidation plan and compliance with applicable Small Cap Equity Fund’s policies and objectives and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Small Cap Equity Fund.

The Board concluded that the Small Cap Equity Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of these services as a result of Snow’s experience, personnel, operations and resources.

The Board also took into account the profitability and the financial capability of Snow in light of information presented at the meeting. The Board noted that, based on GSCM’s representations, the financial statements of Snow did not appear to raise any significant concerns regarding the financial capability of Snow. The Board considered whether any direct or indirect collateral benefits inured to the Trust as a result of its affiliation with Snow.

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 the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Renewal Period and the termination of the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement at the end of the Renewal Period. The Board also determined that approval of the continuation of the Snow Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Renewal Period and subsequent termination thereof is in the best interest of the Small Cap Equity Fund and its shareholders. During their deliberations, the Trustees 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.

  (e)(1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

GuideStone

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, further provided, that each delegated pre-approval shall be reported to the Committee during its next regularly scheduled meeting.


Table of Contents

The pre-approval requirement for a permitted non-audit service may be waived if:

 

  (1) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided constitutes not more than 5% of the total revenues paid by the Company to the Auditors in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided;

 

  (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 sub-adviser 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;


Table of Contents
  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) Not applicable

 

  (c) 100%

 

  (d) 100%

 

  (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.
