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 for the shorter-term & intermediate goals

04/13/2023
By Gene Walden, Senior Finance Editor | 04/13/2023

Millions of Americans invest in retirement accounts to save for their long-term needs, but what about shorter-term or intermediate goals, such as:

  • Buying a home or car
  • Renovating your current home
  • Taking a dream vacation

Investing for shorter-term goals may mean using a less aggressive strategy. Some individuals may choose to invest money in the stock market, while others may prefer to put the money in a bank savings account or a money market fund that carries less risk.

Investing a portion of your savings in the market may be more suitable if you expect to buy a new car or take that dream vacation several years from now, are saving for a house or a second home, or have other intermediate to long-term goals.

Mutual funds could be an option

If you’re willing to take some investment risk for potential appreciation beyond most banks and money market funds, Thrivent offers a couple of bond funds.

Like nearly all mutual funds, they provide liquidity for investors who may need their money on short notice. Just keep in mind that the amount of money available to you would vary, depending on the performance of the funds:

  • Thrivent Government Bond Fund seeks total return, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund primarily invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities.
  • Thrivent Limited Maturity Bond Fund seeks current income consistent with stability of principal. This fund invests primarily in investment-grade corporate bonds, government bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations.
  • Another option, if you hope to use your investment savings in the next five to 10 years, is a more moderate and diversified mutual fund, such as an asset allocation fund. These funds invest in a diverse portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other investments.

General Investment Accounts – a few points

General investment accounts are taxable accounts that are often used when saving for interim goals.

  • Investors oftentimes seek general investment accounts because of the flexibility they provide.
  • Funds can be withdrawn, penalty-free, in the near-term if you need or want – although you will pay taxes on dividends and capital gains.
  • Thrivent offers taxable accounts with the flexibility of either single or joint ownership.
  • You could set up an investment account with Thrivent Mutual Funds for as little as $50i a month.

No matter how you choose to invest—be sure to weigh your options and carefully consider the risks.

i 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.
