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.

Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with lower volatility relative to the global equity markets.

This Fund seeks to provide investors with returns similar to the global equity markets with lower volatility over a full market cycle. The Fund is globally diversified with an approximate allocation range of 50-75% U.S. and 25-50% non-U.S. stocks and may invest in securities of any market capitalization. The Fund employs investment management techniques to identify securities that exhibit low volatility returns. Therefore, it is expected that the Fund will generally underperform the global equity markets during periods of strong market performance.

The Fund may be suitable for investors who:

  • Seek long-term growth with less volatility
  • Have a long-term investment time horizon and a moderate risk tolerance
  • Are comfortable with experiencing underperformance during certain parts of the market cycle in exchange for potentially lower volatility over a full market cycle

Strategy

The portfolio management team uses active quantitative management techniques to forecast investment returns and to identify relationships between securities. The process uses factor models and also strives to identify groups of stocks that are less correlated to each other. The team constructs a risk-optimized portfolio with a focus on low-volatility securities. The portfolio is expected to be well-diversified with global securities. As a part of the risk management process, sector, country, and individual security weights will be constrained.

Risk

The Fund may experience volatility due to investments in equity securities. The Fund’s value is influenced by a number of factors, including the performance of the broader market, and risks specific to the Fund’s asset classes, investment styles, and issuers. The use of quantitative investing techniques and derivatives such as futures also involves risks. Foreign investments involve additional risks, such as currency fluctuations and political, economic and market instability. The Adviser’s assessment of investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance. These and other risks are described in the prospectus.
