About GDMYX

The GuideStone Funds Defensive Market Strategies Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation with reduced volatility compared to the broader equity market. Using a strategically diversified, multi-manager approach, the fund combines traditional and alternative investment strategies—including defensive equity, options, convertibles, and government securities—to pursue equity-like returns while managing downside risk. Its benchmark allocation is split evenly between the S&P 500 Index and the FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, reflecting its balance of growth potential and defensive characteristics. The fund typically holds a significant portion of U.S. equities, government bonds, and option-based strategies, focusing on high-quality, lower-risk securities and tactical allocations to reduce market sensitivity. Serving institutional investors seeking a moderate risk profile, the fund aims to provide participation in market gains with lower drawdowns during periods of volatility, positioning itself as a risk-managed solution for medium- to long-term portfolios.
