A12-38 THE CHURCH RETIREMENT PLAN The MyDestination Funds attempt to achieve their objectives by investing in the GuideStone Select Funds. These funds are managed to a retirement date (“target date”) by adjusting the percentage of fixed-income securities and equity securities to become more conservative each year until reaching the retirement year and then approximately 12 years thereafter. The target date in the name of the funds is the approximate date when an investor plans to start withdrawing money. By investing in them, you will also incur the expenses and risks of the underlying Select Funds. The principal risks of the Funds will change depending on the asset mix of the Select Funds in which they invest. You may directly invest in the Select Funds. The Funds’ value will go up and down in response to changes in the share prices of the investments that they own. There is no guarantee that the Funds’ principal value will increase, including at the targeted date. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
