No matter where you are on your journey to retirement, GuideStone is here to support you.
From the beginning stages of planning your saving and investment strategies to enjoying life in retirement, we’re here to provide helpful resources to guide you every step of the way.
So, if you’re wondering:
Am I invested appropriately?
Consider using our Investment Recommendation tool to review appropriate investment options based on your financial situation, timeline and risk tolerance.
Which investment approach best meets my retirement goals?
Select the approach that best fits your unique needs and preferences.
Choose one fund — I don’t have the time and expertise to select and monitor my investments.
Consider a Target Date Fund for a one-fund solution that adjusts dynamically as you age to become more conservative over time.
OR
Consider an Asset Allocation Fund for a one-fund solution that meets your investing style and time horizon. But remember, you will need to make any reallocations as your personal circumstances change.
Build my portfolio — I want to build my own portfolio with the funds from the different asset classes available to me.
