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.

INVESTING ESSENTIALS

Putting time on your side

It may feel like time is always referenced in the negative—you’re running late for an appointment or time flies when you’re having fun—but in the investing world, time may pay off in a big way, especially when you have large savings goals in mind.

Thanks to compounding returns, investing early and staying invested for a long time can help you achieve your savings goals for retirement, purchasing a home or even traveling around the world.

The power of time and discipline

Long-term savings goals are unique for every individual. You may already take advantage of an individual retirement account (IRA) offered through your employer to save for retirement. If you have the account set up with automated investments every paycheck, you’re taking advantage of time and contributions to make the most of your IRA account. Learn more about both traditional and Roth IRAs in this article: Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA: What’s the difference?

If you have other savings buckets on your wish list, investing in other types of accounts may be an option to help you accomplish those financial goals. Look into Kids’ accounts: Saving for your children if you wish to cover college tuition costs and Investing for the shorter-term and intermediate goals to help you save for items like travel, weddings, new houses, etc.

Build your investing and savings portfolio

The good news is, you have options, and time is on your side for saving for any of your financial buckets. No matter how you choose to invest—or for what reason—be sure to weigh your options carefully and consider any risks that may be involved. If you’d like help with your research, you may want to talk with a financial professional.
