The MyDestination Funds® (“Funds”) attempt to achieve their objectives by
investing in the GuideStone Select Funds and other investments. The Funds
are managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the
percentage of fixed income securities and equity securities to become more
conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then
approximately 12 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the Funds
is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money.
By investing in the Funds, you will also incur the expenses and risks of the
underlying Select Funds and other investments. The principal risks of the
Funds will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which
they invest. You may directly invest in the Select Funds and other
investments, except the Flexible Income Fund and Global Natural Resources
Equity Fund. The Funds’ value will go up and down in response to changes in
the share prices of the investments that they own. 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 Funds.

AO1-5
An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Although
the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share,
it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Global Bond Fund invests in high yield securities, commonly known as
“junk bonds.” While offering higher currency yields, these securities
generally are considered speculative and are subject to greater risks than
higher-rate bonds. Securities of emerging countries may involve additional
risks including price volatility, reduced liquidity, currency fluctuation and
financial reporting requirements as well as political and economic instability.
AO1-6
Duration is a calculation that measures the price sensitivity of a bond or a
bond fund to changes in interest rates. It is expressed in years, like maturity,
but it is a better indicator of price sensitivity than maturity because it takes
into account the time value of cash flows generated over the bond’s life.
Future interest and principal payments are discounted to reflect their
present value and then multiplied by the number of years they will be
received to produce a value expressed in years — the duration.
The fixed income funds’ value will fluctuate in response to interest rates and
other economic factors. Bond prices typically drop as interest rates rise and
vice versa. The yield earned by the Funds will also vary with changes in
interest rates and other economic factors. It is possible to lose money by
investing in the Funds.
There is a risk that the issuer of a fixed income investment owned by the
Funds may fail to pay interest or even principal due in a timely manner or at
all. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are also subject to the risk
of prepayment, which may result in a loss of anticipated payments or
principal being reinvested at lower rates.

Defensive Market
Strategies Fund
Equities with defensive characteristics and,

AO1-8A
The Flexible Income Fund invests primarily in secured and unsecured floating rate
loans. Floating rate loans entail special risks: collateral, if any, may be insufficient to
cover a default, the Fund may have limited remedies when a borrower defaults, and
the Fund may not be able to sell its interest in a falling loan promptly or at an
acceptable price. The Fund may also invest in high-yield securities, which involve
greater risks of default and are more volatile than securities rated investment grade.

AO1-8C
The Real Estate Securities Fund invests substantial assets in real estate investment
trusts (REITs) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks include
declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the
value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in
the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and
outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general.
Small company stocks are generally riskier than large company stocks due to
greater volatility and less liquidity.
Foreign securities may involve additional risks, social and political instability,
reduced market liquidity and current volatility.
AO1-9
The Defensive Market Strategies Fund may be suitable for investors who have a
medium- to long-term investment horizon, possess a moderate tolerance for risk and
seek to participate in the return potential of stocks at a slightly lower risk level than
an all-stock portfolio. This fund is subject to interest-rate risk, meaning, when
interest rates rise, the value of the existing bonds decreases and vice versa.
Changes in interest rates have a bigger impact on long-duration holdings than on
short-duration holdings. The value of convertible securities increases and decreases
with the value of the underlying common stock, but may also be sensitive to changes
in interest rates. Foreign securities may be subject to greater risk than domestic
securities due to currency volatility, reduced market liquidity, and political and
economic instability. To the extent that the investment advisor misjudges current
market conditions, the fund's volatility may be amplified by its use of short sales and
derivatives and by its ability to select sub-advisers to allocate assets. Short sales by
a fund theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of
securities sold short may continuously increase. Leverage may increase the risk of
loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the fund's portfolio to have
disproportionately large effects or cause the NAV of the fund to decline faster than it
would otherwise.
