AB Funds Trust marks 3rd anniversary as a registered mutual fund family

(BP) - Funds Trust marked its third year as a registered mutual fund family on Aug. 27. Sponsored by GuideStone Financial Resources (formerly the Annuity Board) of the Southern Baptist Convention, the fund's assets were $7.5 billion on June 30 this year.

The mutual fund family offers investors access to four asset allocation funds (Blended Funds), four fixed-income funds and five equity funds for an array of investment options and access to global markets.

In 2001, eligible AB Funds Trust investors included only Southern Baptist ministers and employees of Southern Baptist entities and institutions such as universities, seminaries, hospitals and retirement homes. Today, the market has been expanded to include evangelical churches and ministries that are not Southern Baptist.

Before investing, individuals should carefully read the prospectus and consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds. A prospectus with this and other information about AB Funds Trust may be obtained by calling 1-800-262-0511 or by visiting www.GuideStone.org.
