Should Thrivent Asset Management, LLC (Thrivent Asset Mgt. or the Adviser) change the investments used for purposes of this 80% threshold, we will notify you at least 60 days prior to the change. In buying and selling securities for the Fund, the Adviser uses an active strategy. This strategy consists of a disciplined approach that involves computer-aided, quantitative analysis of fundamental, technical and risk-related factors. The Advisers factor model (a method of analyzing and combining multiple data sources) systematically reviews thousands of stocks, using data such as historical earnings growth and expected future growth, valuation, price momentum, and other quantitative factors to forecast return potential. Then, risk characteristics of potential investments and covariation among securities are analyzed along with the return forecasts in determining the Funds holdings. Show less
