Market Cap and Style
Market Cap and Style
Shows a fund’s primary equity style (growth, value, or blend) and primary market capitalization (large, mid, or small). Growth stocks are companies whose earnings are expected to grow at an above-average rate relative to the market. Value stocks are companies that trade at a lower price compared to the market average, as measured by valuation ratios that compare the stock’s price to the company’s earnings and growth trends. Market capitalization is a measure of the size of the companies held in the fund, calculated by multiplying a company’s total outstanding shares by the stock price. Market cap ranges change as stock market valuations shift over time. In general, market cap ranges of approximately $1-5 billion represent small cap stocks, $5-15 billion represents mid cap stocks and greater than $15 billion represents large cap stocks. Funds may hold securities that fall into different market cap ranges. See the prospectus for more details.

Fund Overview
Thrivent Mid Cap Value Fund seeks long-term capital growth.
This fund looks to provide investors with consistent, competitive performance through favorable stock selection while monitoring risk. The Fund typically invests in “value” stocks. Value stocks are companies that trade at a lower price compared to the market, as measured by valuation ratios that compare the stock’s price to the company’s earnings and growth trends. Mid-sized companies may be more established than small companies but have the opportunity to experience faster growth as they seek to become large-cap companies. However, they typically have greater risk than larger, more-seasoned companies.
The portfolio management team seeks to add value through stock selection and active management. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of value stocks with improving or positive outlooks relative to market expectations. The process begins with idea generation and screening to identify stocks that have certain characteristics. The team uses fundamental, quantitative and technical investment research techniques to seek to identify and purchase mid-sized companies that are in industries with good economic outlooks and that have strong prospects for growth in their sales and earnings. They also seek to identify companies with high-quality management teams and strong financial positions, and monitor risk in an effort to build a well-diversified portfolio.
Medium-sized companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. The Fund’s value is influenced by factors impacting the overall market, certain asset classes, certain investment styles, and specific issuers. Markets may also be impacted by domestic or global events, including public health threats, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events. The Adviser's assessment of investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance. These and other risks are described in the Fund's prospectus.
Who should consider investing?
The Portfolio may be suitable for investors who:
- Seek long-term growth
- Have a long-term investment time horizon and an aggressive risk tolerance.
- Are able to withstand a high level of risk and volatility in pursuit of potentially high long-term returns.

Morningstar Information
Risk vs. Category
An assessment of the variations in a fund's monthly returns in comparison to similar funds, with an emphasis on downward variation. The greater the variation, the larger the risk score. If two funds have the exact same return, the one with greater variations in its return is given the larger risk score. In each Morningstar Category, the 10% of funds with the lowest measured risk are described as Low Risk, the next 22.5% Below Average, the middle 35% Average, the next 22.5% Above Average, and the top 10% High. Morningstar Risk is measured for up to three time periods (three-, five-, and 10-years). These separate measures are then weighted and averaged to produce an overall measure for the fund. The score shown is the overall measure. Funds with less than three years of performance history are not rated.

Return vs. Category
Morningstar return is an assessment of the fund's excess return over a risk-free rate (the return of the 90-day Treasury bill) in comparison to similar funds, with an emphasis on downward variation. Therefore, if two funds have precisely the same return, the one with greater variations in its return is given the lower return score. In each Morningstar Category, the top 10% of funds earn a High Morningstar Return, the next 22.5% Above Average, the middle 35% Average, the next 22.5% Below Average, and the bottom 10% Low. Morningstar Return is measured for up to three time periods (three-, five-, and 10-years). These separate measures are then weighted and averaged to produce an overall measure for the fund.

A high rating does not necessarily imply that a fund had the best total performance or that the fund achieved positive results for that period. Morningstar rating is for the S share class only; Other classes may have different performance characteristics. Please see the Performance tab for results of the most recent quarter end.
The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
The Morningstar Style Box™ reveals a fund’s investment strategy. For equity funds, the vertical axis of the Equity Style Map shows the market capitalization of the stocks owned (large, medium, or small) and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend, or growth).

This figure represents the total percentage of a mutual fund’s assets used to maintain the fund, including operating expenses and management fees.

Sales Charge
Front-End Sales Charge
The sales charge applied at the time of an initial purchase of mutual fund shares. The charge is deducted from the amount being invested, so a front-end load lowers the size of the investment.
Back-End Sales Charge
The fee paid when selling shares in a mutual fund within a set number of years, often five to 10 years. The fee amounts to a percentage of the value of the share being sold. The fee percentage is highest in the first year and decreases yearly until the specified holding period ends, at which time it drops to zero.

3 Due to the high cost to shareholders of maintaining accounts with low balances, the transfer agent may, by redeeming shares, charge a semiannual fee of $10 if the value of shares in the account falls to an amount below the fund minimum. See the Prospectus for more details.
4 The Adviser has contractually agreed, for a period of one year from the date of the most recent prospectus, to waive certain fees and/or reimburse certain expenses associated with the Fund. Refer to the Fees & Expenses table in the Fund’s prospectus. If this waiver had not been in effect, performance would have been lower.
