This ETF is different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This ETF will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

 - You may have to pay more money to trade the ETF’s shares. This ETF will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.

 - The price you pay to buy ETF shares on an exchange may not match the value of the ETF’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this ETF compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders.

 - These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions.

 - The ETF will publish on its website each day a “Proxy Portfolio” designed to help trading in shares of the ETF. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the ETF’s holdings, it is not the ETF’s actual portfolio.

The differences between this ETF and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the ETF secret, this ETF may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the ETF’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the ETF’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the ETF’s performance. For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of the ETF, see the Principal Risks section of the prospectus.

1 New accounts with a minimum investment amount of $50 are offered through the Thrivent Mutual Funds "automatic purchase plan." Otherwise, the minimum initial investment requirement is $2,000 for non-retirement accounts and $1,000 for IRA or tax-deferred accounts, minimum subsequent investment requirement is $50 for all account types. Account minimums for other options vary.

Thrivent ETFs may be purchased through your financial professional or brokerage platforms.

Contact your financial professional or brokerage firm to understand minimum investment amounts when purchasing a Thrivent ETF.

RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

Traditional IRAs

Retirement means something different to all of us. The one thing we all have in common 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)
Traditional IRA highlights
Contribution limits
  • 2022: $6,000 total; $7,000 if you're age 50 or older. 2023: $6,500 total; $7,500 if you're age 50 or older.
  • Contribution limit applies to aggregate Traditional and Roth IRA contributions.
  • No age limit on contributions if you have earned income.
Deductions
  • Deductibility of your contribution is subject to Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) limits and you or your spouse’s status as an active participant in an employer retirement plan.
  • See IRS contributions and deduction limits or IRS Publication 590 for further details.
Thrivent minimum investment
  • $1,000 per mutual fund without recurring contributions, or
  • $50 monthly recurring contribution for all mutual funds.
Distributions
  • Must begin taking distributions from your Traditional IRA for the year you turn age 73.
Withdrawals
  • Penalty-free after age 59½ and taxed as current income
  • 10% penalty may apply before age 59½ unless there is an exception
Thrivent Mutual Funds fees
  • Annual Retirement custodial fee is $15 per shareholder (Traditional, SEP and Roth IRAs combined). Fee may be waived if you have $50,000 or more invested in Thrivent mutual funds. Fees are also waived for shareholders that have an automatic purchase plan for $3,000 or more annually into their Traditional or Roth IRA accounts.
  • Retirement account closeout fee of $15 may apply if all accounts in that retirement plan fee group are closed prior to the annual fee occurring.
  • Semiannual low balance fee of $10 may apply for those accounts not maintaining minimum balance requirements. See the Prospectus for more information.
