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.

INVESTING ESSENTIALS

Investing a few more dollars each month may add up

Key points

Benefit of compound interest

Through time and the power of compounding, a monthly investment may help you build a sizeable investment fund over time.

Boost your contributions

Take advantage of opportunities that could help increase your investment contributions.

If you’ve already begun an automatic investment plan, you may be making solid progress toward reaching your financial goals. But you might be surprised at how much more you may be able to accumulate over time if you can find a way to invest a few more dollars each month.

For instance, investing just $50 a month adds up to only $600 a year in total contributions, but through time and the power of compounding, it may ultimately help you build a sizeable investment fund during the decades ahead.

More specifically, contributing $50 a month through an automatic investment account with an average annual return of 5% could add more than $20,000 to your investment account over the next 20 years, more than $40,000 over the next 30 years and more than $70,000 over the next 40 years.

(The following examples are hypothetical for illustrative purposes only. They are not intended to represent the performance of any particular investment product, nor do they take into consideration any product expenses or fees. The results would be reduced if the product expenses or fees were included.)

Long-term growth of a $50/month investment @ 5% annual growth, compounded annually

A more aggressive strategy that earns an annual return of 10%, which is similar to the long-term return of the S&P 500® Index,1 could add up to more than $35,000 over the next 20 years, more than $100,000 over the next 30 years and nearly $280,000 over the next 40 years. 

Of course, there’s no guarantee that your portfolio would match the return of the S&P 500 Index, which has grown at a rate of 10.88% annualized from 1970 through the end of 2023.2 Past performance does not guarantee future returns, and investing may involve the risk of loss of principal.

Long-term growth of a $50/month investment @ 10% annual growth, compounded annually

Obviously, the more you can invest, the more you could accumulate over the long term. Monthly contributions of $100 a month at a 5% return rate would grow to more than $80,000 over the next 30 years and nearly $150,000 over the next 40 years. At a 10% return, your portfolio would grow to more than $70,000 in 20 years, more than $200,000 in 30 years, and more than half a million dollars in 40 years.

Investing through an automatic monthly contribution plan is one of the easiest, most convenient ways to build your investment savings over time. At Thrivent Mutual Funds, investors can start with as little as $50 a month through our automatic purchase plan.3 (The $50 starting amount is available only when setting up a $50-per-month minimum recurring or automatic purchase plan.)

Best times to boost your contributions

You may experience occasional opportunities that could be ideal for increasing your investment contributions, including:

Increased income. A sudden boost to your income—through a raise at work or some other source—would be one of the most obvious opportunities to increase your investment contributions. And one of the best times to begin making those investments may be immediately after you get a raise—before you get accustomed to your higher income and the tempting ways to spend it.

After paying off a debt. You may have additional money available to invest each month after you’ve paid off a debt, such as a car loan, home equity loan, college loan or even smaller loans for things like appliances or furnishings. And, again, a good time to start investing that extra cash may be immediately after paying off one of your loans—and before you’re tempted to find other uses for that money. 

After a windfall. Another opportunity to boost your long-term investment portfolio would be after receiving a windfall, such as a bonus at work, a big commission check, inheritance or a tax refund. If you invest your windfall rather than spending it, that could pay big dividends over time. (See: Your money: How to navigate a windfall)

Bumping up your investment contributions—whether through an automatic monthly investment plan or a single investment of a recent windfall—may require a little sacrifice in the near term, but it may put you in a far better financial position in the long run.
