RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

Traditional IRAs

Retirement means something different to all of us. The one thing we all have in common, however, is wanting to ensure we’ve saved enough to live comfortably. Thrivent Mutual Funds offers Traditional IRAs, which are potentially tax-deductible ways to contribute to your retirement savings. Learn about the features, rules, and limits of Traditional IRAs here.

Traditional IRAs are a great choice for people who:

Have earned income
Want to defer taxes until retirement
Expect to be in a lower tax bracket in retirement
Would benefit from a potential immediate federal income tax deduction
Don’t think they’ll need to take any money out of the account until retirement (after age 59½)

The Thrivent approach

Whether your goal is accumulation or distribution, Traditional IRAs with Thrivent Mutual Funds offer sophisticated yet simple solutions to diversify investments based on your risk tolerance. Choose from all-in-one investments or build your own allocations according to your specific objectives.
