Selected impact highlights include:
GuideStone’s impact investing initiatives are designed to support God’s Kingdom and drive transformation and restoration through the power of Christian investing.
As part of a Kingdom impact strategy, GuideStone® established the GuideStone Impact Equity Fund and the GuideStone Impact Bond Fund, two mutual funds offering investors an opportunity to be more proactive and make a difference in the world with their investment dollars while preparing them for their financial future.
GuideStone has committed to donating 20% of the management fee revenue earned from both impact funds to Christian ministries that promote the Kingdom impact themes of The Sanctity of Life and Spreading the Gospel.
“We live in a broken, fallen world in dire need of restoration and transformation,” said Brandon Pizzurro, Chief Investment Officer for GuideStone and President of GuideStone Capital Management, LLC. “Through Kingdom impact investing, we can mobilize the collective power of faith-focused investors as well as other associated efforts to multiply and accelerate the impact to so many companies and ministries doing Kingdom work on the front lines. We can bring help, healing and hope to so many in a way that honors their dignity and potential.”
Bolstering its impact investing efforts, GuideStone has materially enhanced its corporate engagement strategy by taking proxy voting in-house in mid-2023 for GuideStone Mutual Funds, while also strengthening its ongoing efforts to encourage and engage directly with companies’ management teams to advocate for practices aligned with shareholders’ values. In doing so, GuideStone is seeking to protect Christians’ access to goods and services, among other objectives.
