About GIEYX
The GuideStone Funds International Equity Fund Institutional Class is a diversified, actively managed mutual fund focused on equity securities of companies outside the United States. Its primary objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation, with income generation considered incidental to its strategy. The fund employs a multi-manager approach, integrating both bottom-up fundamental research and quantitative modeling to select investments, while maintaining flexibility to adjust allocations in response to changing market conditions. It holds a core position in international developed markets, but may also allocate assets to select emerging market equities, offering broad geographic exposure.
Unique features of this fund include the incorporation of multiple sub-advisers, each specializing in different investment styles—such as value, growth, and defensive strategies. The fund also utilizes a combination of traditional long holdings and a distinctive long/short equity strategy, aiming to enhance diversification and manage risk relative to its benchmark. Designed as a core international holding within a broader portfolio, the fund is positioned to appeal to institutional investors seeking professionally managed exposure to global equity markets, with a strong emphasis on risk management and tactical flexibility.
