About GEMZX
GuideStone Funds Emerging Markets Equity Fund Investor Class is a diversified mutual fund focused on long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities from emerging markets. The fund typically commits at least 80% of its net assets to stocks of companies that are economically tied to developing regions, such as China, India, Brazil, Korea, and Taiwan, but may also include firms listed in developed markets that derive significant revenue from emerging economies. The portfolio spans companies of all market capitalizations across a broad spectrum of industries and sectors, providing investors with strong diversification and broad exposure to growth opportunities in rapidly developing parts of the world. Employing both fundamental and quantitative research, the fund utilizes a multi-manager approach to select high-conviction securities while aiming to maintain disciplined risk management. The fund is benchmarked against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and is designed to offer strategic access for those seeking to participate in the dynamic and often volatile markets outside North America and Western Europe. Any income generated by the fund is incidental to its principal goal of capital growth.
