Fund Overview
Thrivent High Income Municipal Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes.
This fund invests in a nationally-diversified portfolio of municipal bonds of varying credit quality. A municipal bond is a debt security issued by a city, county or state government to finance its capital expenditures. These bonds often finance public projects such as schools, airports, roads, bridges, sewers, hospitals, and senior living and recreational facilities. Municipal bonds are generally exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund holds at least 50% of its assets in bonds that are unrated or are rated BBB or below, but also has an allocation to higher quality investment-grade bonds. It expects to invest primarily in revenue bonds that are repaid from the revenues generated by the project and may also invest in general obligation bonds that are backed by the taxing authority of the issuer. The Fund will also invest in “tobacco bonds” issued by states to securitize their settlements with tobacco companies. Higher yielding municipal bonds typically have more credit risk and longer duration than investment grade bonds.
The portfolio management team seeks to add value through security selection and active management, and monitors risk in an effort to build a well-diversified portfolio. The team uses fundamental, quantitative and technical investment research techniques to determine which securities to buy and sell. Through rigorous credit research, the Thrivent Mutual Funds municipal bond analysts seek to identify municipal bonds (both investment grade and below investment grade) that are issued by entities with strong fundamentals and sufficient cash flows to meet their principal and interest obligations. The team may also invest in Treasury futures contracts to manage interest rate risk. The portfolio managers are responsible for portfolio construction and risk management and seek to invest with a prudent level of risk relative to the non-investment grade peer group of funds. The Fund's holdings may be concentrated in certain sectors including health care and education.
Municipal bonds are subject to risks including, but not limited to, credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a bond to which the Fund is exposed may no longer be able to pay its debt. Bond prices may decline during periods of rising interest rate and changes by the Federal Reserve to monetary policy could affect interest rates and the value of some securities. Below investment grade municipal bonds are subject to additional risks including an increased likelihood of default risk. Default risk is the risk that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments in which case the value of the Fund may be negatively affected.
Changes in federal income tax laws or rates may affect both the net asset value of the Fund and the taxable equivalent interest generated from securities in the Fund. Some issues may be subject to state and local taxes and/or the federal and state alternative minimum tax (AMT). Any increase in principal value may be taxable. The Fund may incur losses due to investments that do not perform as anticipated by the investment adviser. In periods when dealer inventories of bonds are low in relation to market size, there is the potential for decreased liquidity and increased price volatility in the fixed income markets. Investing in municipal bonds for the purpose of generating tax-exempt income may not be appropriate for investors in all income tax brackets. The use of futures contracts involves additional risks such as a loss in value in the underlying instrument , which could decrease the value of the Fund. Quantitative investing uses models and factors that rely on historical data and may be incomplete. Please consult a tax advisor for more detailed information about your specific situation, including state/local tax treatment. These and other risks are described in the Fund's prospectus.
Who Should Consider Investing?
The Fund may be suitable for investors who:
- Seek income that is generally exempt from federal income taxes. The Fund may invest in municipal securities that are subject to state and local taxes and/or the alternative minimum tax (AMT). While the dividends earned on a municipal bond fund are usually federally tax-exempt, any capital gains distributions, as well as realized capital gains from selling fund shares, may be taxable.
- Have a medium- to long-term investment time horizon and a moderate risk tolerance.
- Are able to withstand a moderate level of risk and volatility in pursuit of commensurate long-term returns and higher income.

2 Turnover Ratio: 12-month rolling as of 08/30/2019. A measure of the Fund's trading activity which is calculated by dividing the lesser of long term purchases
A fund's yield is the income return on an investment based on the distributions paid and the net asset value of the fund. Yields are only shown for funds which have a monthly or quarterly dividend schedule.

Sales Charge
Front-End 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 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.
