I. All Funds: Election of Trustee to the Trust’s Board of Trustees

 

  A.

    Introduction

GuideStone Financial Resources, as majority shareholder of the Trust, has elected John R. Morris to the Board, effective October 26, 2017. The Trust’s Amended and Restated Trust Instrument, dated May 1, 2017, provides that Mr. Morris will hold office until his resignation, removal or mandatory retirement. Mr. Morris’ term may also end when he ceases to be a trustee of GuideStone Financial Resources. Mr. Morris will serve as a Trustee who is an “interested person” of the Trust, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”).

 

  B.

    Information Regarding the Board of Trustees

The operations of each Fund are under the supervision of the Board. The primary responsibility of the Board is to represent the interests of the shareholders of the Trust and to provide oversight of the management of the Trust. Upon effectiveness of the election of Mr. Morris, the Board will be comprised of nine individuals: Thomas G. Evans and Mr. Morris, each of whom is an “interested person” of the Trust as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, and William Craig George, Barry D. Hartis, Grady R. Hazel, Christopher W. Kersey, MD, MBA, Joseph A. Mack, Franklin R. Morgan and Kyle L. Tucker, each of whom is not an “interested person” of the Trust (“Independent Trustee”). Mr. George serves as Chairman of the Board. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Board held five meetings. All of the Trustees who served as such during the entirety of the previous fiscal year attended more than 75% of the Board meetings held during that period. Unlike public operating companies, mutual funds do not typically hold annual shareholder meetings. Accordingly, the Trust does not have a policy pertaining to attendance at annual shareholder meetings by members of the Board.

The Trustees (including Mr. Morris) of the Trust, their ages, business addresses and principal occupations and directorships during the past five years are set forth in the following table.

The Board’s role with respect to the Trust is oversight. As is the case with virtually all investment companies (as distinguished from operating companies), service providers to the Trust, primarily the Adviser and its affiliates, have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Funds, which includes responsibility for risk management. Examples of prominent risks include investment risk, regulatory and compliance risks, operational risks, accounting risks, valuation risks, service provider risks and legal risks. As part of its oversight role, the Board, acting at its scheduled meetings, or the Chairman, acting between Board meetings, interacts with and receives reports from senior personnel of service providers, including the Adviser’s chief investment officer (or a senior representative of the Adviser) and portfolio management personnel. The Board receives periodic presentations and reports from senior personnel of the Adviser or its affiliates regarding risk management generally, as well as periodic presentations regarding specific operational, compliance or investment areas such as accounting, administration, anti-money laundering, personal trading, valuation, investment research and securities lending. The Board also receives reports from counsel to the Trust and the Board’s own independent legal counsel regarding regulatory compliance and governance matters. The Board interacts with and receives reports from the Trust’s chief compliance officer, and in connection with each scheduled meeting, the Trust’s Independent Trustees meet separately from the Adviser and Trust management, with the Trust’s chief compliance officer and independent legal counsel, on regulatory compliance matters. The Board’s oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust’s investments or activities.

Board Leadership Structure

The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Trustee and holds no management position with the Trust or its Adviser, sub-advisers or service providers. The Board has determined that its leadership structure, in which the Chairman of the Board is an Independent Trustee, along with the Board’s majority of Independent Trustees, is appropriate in light of the services provided to the Trust and provides the best protection against conflict of interests with the Trust’s Adviser and service providers.

Information About Each Trustee’s Qualifications, Experience, Attributes or Skills

GuideStone Financial Resources primarily provides financial products and services to persons and organizations associated with the Southern Baptist Convention. In accordance with the Trust’s organizational documents, all Trustees must be active members of a Baptist church in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention as defined in the Southern Baptist Convention Constitution and interested Trustees must also be members of the Board of Trustees of GuideStone Financial Resources. All Trustees serve without compensation except for reimbursement of expenses in attending meetings. The Board believes that the significance of each Trustee’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience that is important for one Trustee may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single Trustee, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. However, the Board

 

- 7 -


believes that Trustees need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Trust management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties. Experience relevant to having this ability may be achieved through a Trustee’s educational background; business, professional training or practice (e.g., accounting, banking, brokerage, finance or ministry); public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the Board); senior level positions in Southern Baptist Convention member organizations such as churches or hospitals; or as an executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations, as well as other life experiences. In identifying and evaluating nominees for the Board, the Nominating Committee also considers how each nominee would affect the composition of the Board. In seeking out and evaluating nominees, each candidate’s background is considered in light of existing board membership. The ultimate goal is a board consisting of trustees with a diversity of relevant individualized expertise. In addition to providing for Board synergy, this diversity of expertise allows Trustees to provide insight and leadership within the Board’s committee structure.

While the Board has not adopted a specific policy on diversity, it takes overall diversity into account when considering and evaluating nominees for Trustee. The Board generally considers the manner in which each Trustee’s professional experience, background, skills and other individual attributes (such as involvement in Southern Baptist and other evangelical missions and ministries) will contribute to the effectiveness of the Board.

Committees

Currently, the Board has an Audit Committee, a Compliance and Risk Committee, an Investment Management Committee and a Nominating Committee. The responsibilities of each committee and its members are described below.

Audit Committee. The Board has an Audit Committee comprised only of the Independent Trustees, Messrs. George, Hartis, Hazel, Mack, Morgan and Tucker and Dr. Kersey. Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee has the responsibility, among other things, to (1) appoint the Trust’s independent auditors; (2) review and approve the scope of the independent auditors’ audit activity; (3) review the financial statements, which are the subject of the independent auditors’ certifications; and (4) review with such independent auditors the adequacy of the Trust’s basic accounting system and the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal accounting controls. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, there were four meetings of the Audit Committee.

Compliance and Risk Committee. The Board has a Compliance and Risk Committee comprised of Messrs. Evans, Hartis and Morgan, the majority of whom are Independent Trustees. Pursuant to its charter, the Compliance and Risk Committee has the responsibility, among other things, to (1) oversee generally the management of the Trust’s operational, information security, compliance, regulatory, strategic, reputational and other risks; (2) oversee generally matters relating to the Trust’s compliance controls and related policies and procedures; and (3) act as a liaison between the chief compliance officer of the Trust and the full Board when necessary and appropriate. The Compliance and Risk Committee was established in February 2015. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, there were four meetings of the Compliance and Risk Committee.

Investment Management Committee. The Board has an Investment Management Committee comprised of only Independent Trustees, Messrs. George, Hazel and Tucker and Dr. Kersey. Pursuant to its charter, the Investment Management Committee has the responsibility, among other things, to (1) review information in consideration of investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements; (2) make recommendations to the Board regarding the initial approval, reapproval or termination of investment advisory or sub-advisory agreements; (3) monitor sub-advisers to identify those that may require review by the Trust’s management or further discussion or review by the Board; and (4) serve as a liaison between the Trust’s management and the Board involving changes in Fund investment objectives and strategies, changes at the Adviser or sub-advisers and other material developments related to the investment management of the Funds that may warrant Board consideration. The Investment Management Committee was established in August 2011. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, there were five meetings of the Investment Management Committee.

Nominating Committee. The Board has a Nominating Committee, comprised only of the Independent Trustees, Messrs. George, Hartis, Hazel, Mack, Morgan and Tucker and Dr. Kersey. Pursuant to its charter, the Nominating

 

- 8 -


Committee is responsible for the nomination of candidates to serve as Trustees. The Trust’s governing documents provide that only shareholders, by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares, may fill vacancies in the Board or otherwise elect a Trustee. The Trust documents further provide that the selection and nomination of persons to fill vacancies on the Board to serve as Independent Trustees shall be committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees then serving, provided that shareholders may also nominate and select persons to serve in these positions. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, there were three meetings of the Nominating Committee.

In proposing a nominee, the Nominating Committee considers certain factors, including, but not limited to, the general knowledge, background and experience of the nominee. Specifically, the Nominating Committee considers whether the nominee possesses a high level of integrity, appropriate experience and a commitment to fulfill the fiduciary duties inherent in Board membership. The Nominating Committee also considers the extent to which a candidate possesses sufficiently diverse skill sets and characteristics that would contribute to the Board’s overall effectiveness. In determining potential candidates’ qualifications for Board membership, the Committee may consider all factors it determines to be relevant to fulfilling the role of being a member of the Board. The Nominating Committee may consider potential candidates for nomination identified by one or more shareholders of the Trust. Shareholders can submit recommendations in writing to the attention of Matthew A. Wolfe, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, GuideStone Funds, 2401 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas, Texas 75201-1498.
