About GLDYX
GuideStone Funds Low-Duration Bond Fund Institutional Class is an actively managed open‑end mutual fund focused on short‑maturity, investment‑grade fixed income. Its primary objective is to provide current income while emphasizing preservation of capital, positioning it as a core short‑term bond holding for investors seeking lower interest‑rate sensitivity. The fund follows a multi‑manager structure that blends complementary approaches across the short-duration universe, allocating to specialists in core low-duration, macro-oriented, and credit-focused strategies. It invests broadly across high‑quality sectors, using sector rotation, yield‑curve positioning, and security selection to diversify risk within the 1–3 year area of the market. The strategy’s risk controls and diversification across benchmark and selective non‑benchmark sectors aim to deliver consistent income with muted volatility versus intermediate or long‑duration peers. With an inception dating back to 2001 and a mandate grounded in investment‑grade securities, the fund serves roles such as liquidity management, cash‑plus allocation, and ballast within multi‑asset portfolios, while distributing income on a monthly basis.
