About GGEZX
The GuideStone Funds Growth Equity Fund Investor Class is a diversified mutual fund focused on U.S. large- and mid-cap equities. Its primary objective is to provide high, long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in growth-oriented stocks across a wide range of sectors. Notably, the fund avoids heavy concentration in any single industry, though it may occasionally be overweight in certain sectors, leading to increased short-term price volatility. The portfolio is actively managed, with significant allocations to leading technology and consumer companies, including names like Apple, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon, among its top holdings. This approach leverages the potential growth of influential market leaders while maintaining diversification to mitigate individual sector risk. The fund plays a role for investors seeking exposure to high-growth equities with a willingness to accept notable value fluctuations, serving as a dynamic component within diversified investment portfolios. Established in 2001, it is recognized for its disciplined investment strategy and substantial asset base within the large growth category.
