DALLAS — For the second year in a row, GuideStone Financial Resources has been recognized in the Lipper Fund Awards, with the MyDestination 2025 Fund being named Best Fund Over Three Years among Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Funds.
The Southern Baptist entity’s MyDestination Funds was the nation’s first Christian-based socially screened date target fund when it was launched in August 2006.
Jeff Tjornehoj, head of Lipper Americas Research, one of the financial world’s leading fund research and analysis organizations, said the Lipper awards “honor those funds that excelled at producing superior risk-adjusted returns for their investors. For that, we are pleased to recognize GuideStone’s MyDestination 2025 Fund as the top Mixed-Asset Target 2025 Fund over the past three years.”
The MyDestination 2025 Fund was ranked No. 1 among 92 similar funds for its performance over the three years ending Nov. 30, 2012.
Earlier in 2012, the entire GuideStone Funds family was ranked No. 1 out of 182 eligible fund families with up to $40 billion in assets, receiving Lipper’s Best Overall Small Fund Group in the U.S. over the three-year period ending Nov. 30, 2011, for fund groups with at least three equity, three bond and three mixed-asset classes. GuideStone Funds was the first Christian-based socially screened fund family to win the premier Lipper honor.
