FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GuideStone announces MyDestination 2055 Fund
By Sally J. Robbins
DALLAS — GuideStone Funds announced today the launch of the MyDestination 2055 Fund.
The MyDestination 2055 Fund joins GuideStone Funds’ family of date target funds. These funds are managed to
and through specific target dates in 10-year increments — allowing investors to simply choose the fund with the
target year closest to their planned retirement date. Like all of GuideStone’s date target funds, the MyDestination
2055 Fund, through investments in the Select Funds, contains a diversified asset allocation that gradually becomes
more conservative as participants approach, and move through, retirement.
“We continually strive to provide products and services that best meet the needs of our participants,” said John R.
Jones, chief operating officer of GuideStone Financial Resources and president of GuideStone Funds. “By adding
the MyDestination 2055 Fund to our line of date target funds, we’re continuing our mission to enhance the
financial security of younger investors with an option that may align more closely with their retirement planning
needs.”
Participants who do not select their investment allocation themselves are defaulted to the MyDestination fund
whose date falls closest to their 65th birthday. For some of these participants, the new MyDestination 2055 Fund
may more accurately reflect their planned retirement date.
Participants can reallocate by visiting www.GuideStone.org/MDF or by calling a GuideStone customer relations
specialist at 1-888-98-GUIDE (1-888-984-8433).

You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of GuideStone Funds before
investing. For a copy of the prospectus with this and other information about the funds, please download a

prospectus carefully before investing.
The MyDestination Funds (“Funds”) attempt to achieve their objectives by investing in the GuideStone Select
Funds. 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 15 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. 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. 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.
GuideStone Funds shares are distributed by BNY Mellon Distributors Inc., 760 Moore Road, King of Prussia, PA
19406. GuideStone Capital Management, a controlled affiliate of GuideStone Financial Resources, serves as the
investment advisor to GuideStone Funds.
