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. Expand for more info.
  • 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.

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.

MARKET UPDATES

The stock market historically has come up after market lows

01/24/2023

01/24/2023

While you may be tempted to pull money out of the stock market to avoid corrections and bear markets— like what we saw in early 2020—timing the market is notoriously difficult.

Not only do you need to reduce your exposure to equities at just the right time, but you’ll also need to re-enter the market at precisely the right time as well. History has shown that you’ll typically see a sharp rebound in equity markets after periods of decline.

Following the 10 bear markets (declines of 20% or more) since 1950, the first three months after the bottom saw returns bounce back 20.9%, on average, while the first full year climbed, on average, 43.4%, as the table below illustrates:


Missing out on these recovery periods can sometimes be as painful as holding through the decline that preceded it. You may want to review how you approach building, balancing and diversifying your portfolio to make sure you don’t leave the market at a low and miss the benefits of a potential rebound.

The S&P 500® Index is a market-cap weighted index that represents the average performance of a group of 500 large-capitalization stocks.

Results shown assume reinvestment of dividends or interest.

Any indexes shown are unmanaged and do not reflect the typical costs of investing. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

2022 Market Review

Inflation, the Fed, and falling stocks marked 2022

Inflation, the Fed, and falling stocks marked 2022

Inflation, the Fed, and falling stocks marked 2022

2022 was the year of inflation and the Federal Reserve (Fed). The combination of the two – rising prices and a tightening monetary policy – contributed to a slowing economy, rapidly rising interest rates, and significant losses in the stock market. The war in Ukraine also contributed to global economic adversity, particularly in Europe.
