DALLAS — More than 160,000 pastors, church staff members, hospital employees and others have their retirement dollars with GuideStone Financial Resources. The majority of those dollars are invested in GuideStone Funds, the nation’s largest Christian-based, socially screened, registered mutual fund company.
Launched in 2001, the fund family was recently recognized by industry-ranking firm Lipper as the 2012 Best Overall Small Fund Group in the United States, an award that honors one mutual fund company that has up to $40 billion in assets. As the first Christian-based mutual fund group to win Lipper’s top trophy, GuideStone was ranked No. 1 out of 182 eligible companies.
“The Lipper trophy recognizes a standard of excellence that we pursue each day as we seek to honor the Lord and enable our faithful participants to invest according to their biblical principles,” said O.S. Hawkins, president of GuideStone Financial Resources. Hawkins was among four GuideStone senior staff members who accepted the Lipper trophy at a March 8 dinner in New York City sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, Thomson Reuters and Investment News.
