Thrivent Aggressive Allocation Fund 
Class S: TAAIX | Class A: TAAAX

Investment Objective
Thrivent Aggressive Allocation Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital growth.
Fees and Expenses
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and/or sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. For Class A shares, you may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Class A shares of a fund or funds of Thrivent Mutual Funds. More information about these and other Class A sales charge discounts is available from your financial professional and in the “Class A Sales Charges” and “Ways to Eliminate or Reduce the Initial Class A Sales Charges” sections of the Fund’s prospectus and the “Sales Charges” section under the heading “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares” of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, for as long as the current fee structure is in place and through at least February 28, 2024, to waive an amount equal to any management fees indirectly incurred by the Fund as a result of its investment in any other mutual fund for which the Adviser or an affiliate serves as investment adviser, other than Thrivent Cash Management Trust. This contractual provision may be terminated upon the mutual agreement between the Independent Trustees of the Fund and the Adviser.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. For Class A shares, the example includes the initial sales charge. In addition, the example for the 1 Year period reflects the effect of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Class S
$103
$362
$641
$1,438
Class A
$564
$843
$1,144
$1,996
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 42% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
The Fund pursues its objective by investing in a combination of other funds managed by the Adviser and directly held financial instruments. The Fund is designed for investors who seek greater long-term capital growth and are comfortable with higher levels of risk and volatility. The Fund uses a prescribed asset allocation strategy involving a two-step process that is designed to achieve its desired risk tolerance. The first step is the construction of a model for the allocation of the Fund’s assets across broad asset categories (namely, equity securities and debt securities). The second step involves the determination of sub-classes within the broad asset categories and target weightings (i.e., what the Adviser determines is the strategic allocation) for these sub-classes. Sub-classes for equity securities may be based on market capitalization, investment style (such as growth or value), or economic sector. Sub-classes for debt securities may be based on maturity, duration, security type or credit rating (high yield—commonly known as “junk bonds”—or investment grade).
The use of target weightings for various sub-classes within broad asset categories is intended as a multi-style approach to reduce the risk of investing in securities having common characteristics. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts to either hedge its exposure or obtain exposure to certain investments.
3

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging markets. An “emerging market” country is any country determined by the Adviser to have an emerging market economy, considering factors such as the country’s credit rating, its political and economic stability and the development of its financial and capital markets.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in the following broad asset classes within the ranges given:
Broad Asset Category
Target
Allocation
Allocation
Range
Equity Securities
95%
75-100%
Debt Securities
5%
0-25%
The Fund’s actual holdings in each broad asset category may be outside the applicable allocation range from time to time due to differing investment performance among asset categories. The Adviser will rebalance the Fund at least annually so that its holdings are within the ranges for the broad asset categories.
The Fund pursues its investment strategy by investing in other mutual funds managed by the Adviser and direct investments in securities. The names of the funds managed by the Adviser which are currently available for investment by the Fund are shown in the list below. The list is provided for information purposes only. The Adviser may change the availability of the funds managed by the Adviser for investment by the Fund without shareholder approval or advance notice to shareholders.

Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Allocation Risk. The Fund’s investment performance depends upon how its assets are allocated across broad asset categories and applicable sub-classes within such categories. Some broad asset categories and sub-classes may perform below expectations or the securities markets generally over short and extended periods. Therefore, a principal risk of investing in the Fund is that the allocation strategies used and the allocation decisions made will not produce the desired results.
Equity Security Risk. Equity securities held by the Fund may decline significantly in price, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, geographic region, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one particular country or geographic region or one or more related sectors or industries, which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such countries, geographic regions, sectors or industries. Equity securities are generally more volatile than most debt securities.
Large Cap Risk. Large-sized companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Conflicts of Interest Risk. An investment in the Fund will be subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the Adviser or its affiliates may provide services to the Fund for which the Fund would compensate the Adviser and/or such affiliates. The Fund may invest in other pooled investment vehicles sponsored, managed, or otherwise affiliated with the Adviser, including other Funds. The Adviser may have an incentive (financial or otherwise) to enter into transactions or arrangements on behalf of the Fund with itself or its affiliates in circumstances where it might not have done so otherwise.
The Adviser or its affiliates manage other investment funds and/or accounts (including proprietary accounts) and have other clients with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to, or overlap with, the investment objective and strategy of the Fund, creating conflicts of interest in investment and allocation decisions regarding the allocation of investments that could be appropriate for the Fund and other clients of the Adviser or their affiliates.
Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Fund utilizes equity futures in order to increase or decrease its exposure to various asset classes at a lower cost than trading stocks directly. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose much more than the
4

original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks and volatility of investing in foreign securities is increased in connection with investments in emerging markets. The economic, political and market structures of developing countries in emerging markets, in most cases, are not as strong as the structures in the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth, stability, liquidity and transparency. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective and portfolio performance will likely be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries in the midst of, among other things, hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political upheaval or interventionist government policies, and the risks of such events are heightened within emerging market countries. Fund performance may also be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries with less developed or unreliable legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, recordkeeping and corporate governance systems and standards. In particular, there may be less publicly available and transparent information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets because such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Emerging markets may also have differing legal systems, many of which provide fewer security holder rights and practical remedies to pursue claims than are available for securities of companies in the U.S. or other developed countries, including class actions or fraud claims. Significant buying or selling actions by a few major investors may also heighten the volatility of emerging market securities.
Foreign Currency Risk. The value of a foreign currency may decline against the U.S. dollar, which would reduce the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact of such a decline of foreign currency can be significant, unpredictable, and long lasting, depending on the currencies represented, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the Fund does not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging programs. Further, exchange rate movements are volatile, and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities generally carry more risk and are more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of potential for higher political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations in currency exchange rates where investments are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including interruptions in the global supply chain, market closures, war, terrorism, natural disasters and outbreak of infectious diseases. The Fund’s investment in any country could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalizing a company or industry, expropriating assets, or imposing punitive taxes that would have an adverse effect on security prices, and impair the Fund’s ability to repatriate capital or income. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to resell
than comparable U.S. securities because the markets for foreign securities are often less liquid. Even when a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the appreciation may be diluted by adverse changes in exchange rates when the security’s value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement process for foreign securities.
Growth Investing Risk. Growth style investing includes the risk of investing in securities whose prices historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term. Growth stock prices reflect projections of future earnings or revenues and, if a company’s earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
Issuer Risk. Issuer risk is the possibility that factors specific to an issuer to which the Fund is exposed will affect the market prices of the issuer’s securities and therefore the value of the Fund.
LIBOR Risk. The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to determine payment obligations, financing terms or investment value. Such financial instruments may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, certain asset backed securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. In 2017, the head of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, market participants have begun transitioning away from LIBOR, but certain obstacles remain with regard to converting certain securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule that would replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts using benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) after June 30, 2023. Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remains uncertainty regarding potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or its investments. Any additional regulatory or market changes that occur as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments, performance or financial condition, and might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from
5

domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Mid Cap Risk. Medium-sized companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more-established companies. These companies tend to have smaller revenues, narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources, and less competitive strength than larger companies.
Other Funds Risk. Because the Fund invests in other funds, the performance of the Fund is dependent, in part, upon the performance of other funds in which the Fund may invest. As a result, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those faced by the other funds. In addition, other funds may be subject to additional fees and expenses that will be borne by the Fund.
Quantitative Investing Risk. Securities selected according to a quantitative analysis methodology can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor and changes in the factor’s historical trends. Such models are based on assumptions relating to these and other market factors, and the models may not take into account certain factors, or perform as intended, and may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. Among other risks, results generated by such models may be impaired by errors in human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology systems malfunctions, or programming flaws. Such models may not perform as expected or may underperform in periods of market volatility.
Small Cap Risk. Smaller, less seasoned companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. These companies tend to have small revenues, narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, small shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources, and less competitive strength than larger companies. Such companies seldom pay significant dividends that could soften the impact of a falling market on returns.
Value Investing Risk. Value style investing includes the risk that stocks of undervalued companies may not rise as quickly as anticipated if the market doesn’t recognize their intrinsic value or if value stocks are out of favor.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one-, five- and ten-year periods compared to broad-based securities market indices. The index descriptions appear in the "Index Descriptions" section of the prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart includes the effects of Fund expenses, but not sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown. The table includes the effects of Fund expenses and maximum sales charges and assumes that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal
income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are only shown for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class S shares will vary. Returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2024, to waive a portion of the management fees associated with the Class A shares of the Thrivent Balanced Income Plus Fund in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements to an annual rate of 0.99% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. This contractual provision, however, may be terminated before the indicated termination date upon the mutual agreement between the Independent Trustees of the Fund and the Adviser.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. For Class A shares, the example includes the initial sales charge. In addition, the example for the 1 Year period for Class A shares reflects the effect of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 211% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in a combination of equity securities and debt securities within the ranges shown in the following table:
Broad Asset Category
Target
Allocation
Allocation
Range
Equity Securities
45%
25-65%
Debt Securities
55%
35-75%
The equity securities in which the Fund invests may include common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or securities or other instruments the price of which is linked to the value of common stock.
The debt securities in which the Fund invests may be of any maturity or credit quality, including high yield, high risk bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations commonly known as “junk bonds.” At the time of purchase, these high-yield securities are rated below BBB- by S&P, or Baa3 by Moody's, or unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. The Fund may also invest in leveraged loans, which are senior secured loans that are made by banks or other lending institutions to companies that are rated below investment grade. In addition, the Fund may invest in investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities
8

(including commercially backed ones), convertible bonds, and sovereign and emerging market debt (both U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated).
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging markets. An “emerging market” country is any country determined by the Adviser to have an emerging market economy, considering factors such as the country’s credit rating, its political and economic stability and the development of its financial and capital markets.
The Fund utilizes derivatives primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage the Fund’s duration, or interest rate risk. The Fund may enter into derivatives contracts traded on exchanges or in the over the counter market.
The Fund may also pursue its investment strategy by investing in other mutual funds managed by the Adviser.
The Adviser uses fundamental, quantitative and technical investment research techniques to determine what to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects while quantitative and technical techniques involve a more data-oriented analysis of financial information, market trends and price movements.
Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Equity Security Risk. Equity securities held by the Fund may decline significantly in price, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, geographic region, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one particular country or geographic region or one or more related sectors or industries, which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such countries, geographic regions, sectors or industries. Equity securities are generally more volatile than most debt securities.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of debt securities decline in value when interest rates rise for debt securities that pay a fixed rate of interest. Debt securities with longer durations (a measure of price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) or maturities (i.e., the amount of time until a bond’s issuer must pay its principal or face value) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than debt securities with shorter durations or maturities. Changes in general economic conditions, inflation, and monetary policies, such as certain types of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, could affect interest rates and the value of some securities. During periods of low interest rates or when inflation rates are high or rising, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security to which the Fund is exposed may no longer be able or willing to pay its debt. As a result of such an event, the debt security may decline in price and affect the value of the Fund.
Allocation Risk. The Fund’s investment performance depends upon how its assets are allocated across broad asset categories and applicable sub-classes within such categories. Some broad asset categories and sub-classes may perform below expectations or the securities markets generally over short and extended periods. Therefore, a principal risk of investing in the Fund is that the allocation strategies used and the allocation decisions made will not produce the desired results.
Conflicts of Interest Risk. An investment in the Fund will be subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the Adviser or its affiliates may provide services to the Fund for which the Fund would compensate the Adviser and/or such affiliates. The Fund may invest in other pooled investment vehicles sponsored, managed, or otherwise affiliated with the Adviser, including other Funds. The Adviser may have an incentive (financial or otherwise) to enter into transactions or arrangements on behalf of the Fund with itself or its affiliates in circumstances where it might not have done so otherwise.
The Adviser or its affiliates manage other investment funds and/or accounts (including proprietary accounts) and have other clients with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to, or overlap with, the investment objective and strategy of the Fund, creating conflicts of interest in investment and allocation decisions regarding the allocation of investments that could be appropriate for the Fund and other clients of the Adviser or their affiliates.
Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Fund utilizes futures on U.S. Treasuries in order to manage duration. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose much more than the original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks and volatility of investing in foreign securities is increased in connection with investments in emerging markets. The economic, political and market structures of developing countries in emerging markets, in most cases, are not as strong as the structures in the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth, stability, liquidity and transparency. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective and portfolio performance will likely be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries in the midst of, among other things, hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political upheaval or interventionist government policies, and the risks of such events are heightened within emerging market countries. Fund performance may also be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries with less developed or unreliable legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, recordkeeping and corporate governance systems and standards. In particular, there may be less publicly available and transparent information about issuers in emerging markets than
9

would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets because such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Emerging markets may also have differing legal systems, many of which provide fewer security holder rights and practical remedies to pursue claims than are available for securities of companies in the U.S. or other developed countries, including class actions or fraud claims. Significant buying or selling actions by a few major investors may also heighten the volatility of emerging market securities.
Foreign Currency Risk. The value of a foreign currency may decline against the U.S. dollar, which would reduce the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact of such a decline of foreign currency can be significant, unpredictable, and long lasting, depending on the currencies represented, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the Fund does not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging programs. Further, exchange rate movements are volatile, and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities generally carry more risk and are more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of potential for higher political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations in currency exchange rates where investments are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including interruptions in the global supply chain, market closures, war, terrorism, natural disasters and outbreak of infectious diseases. The Fund’s investment in any country could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalizing a company or industry, expropriating assets, or imposing punitive taxes that would have an adverse effect on security prices, and impair the Fund’s ability to repatriate capital or income. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to resell than comparable U.S. securities because the markets for foreign securities are often less liquid. Even when a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the appreciation may be diluted by adverse changes in exchange rates when the security’s value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement process for foreign securities.
High Yield Risk. High yield securities – commonly known as “junk bonds” – to which the Fund is exposed are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. If the issuer of the security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the value of the Fund may be negatively affected. High yield securities generally have a less liquid resale market.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
Issuer Risk. Issuer risk is the possibility that factors specific to an issuer to which the Fund is exposed will affect the market prices of the issuer’s securities and therefore the value of the Fund.
Large Cap Risk. Large-sized companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Leveraged Loan Risk. Leveraged loans (also known as bank loans) are subject to the risks typically associated with debt securities. In addition, leveraged loans, which typically hold a senior position in the capital structure of a borrower, are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate such loans to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of leveraged loans. Leveraged loans are also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. Some leveraged loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded securities and others are illiquid, which may make it more difficult for the Fund to value them or dispose of them at an acceptable price. Below investment-grade leveraged loans are typically more credit sensitive. Also, some leveraged loans are known as “covenant lite” loans, which have contractual provisions that are more favorable to borrowers and provide less protection for lenders such as the Fund. As a result, the Fund could experience relatively greater difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant lite loans than its holdings of loans with financial maintenance covenants, which may result in losses. In the event of fraud or misrepresentation, the Fund may not be protected under federal securities laws with respect to leveraged loans that may not be in the form of “securities.” The settlement period for some leveraged loans may be more than seven days.
LIBOR Risk. The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to determine payment obligations, financing terms or investment value. Such financial instruments may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, certain asset backed securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. In 2017, the head of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, market participants have begun transitioning away from LIBOR, but certain obstacles remain with regard to converting certain securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule that would replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts using benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) after June 30, 2023. Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remains uncertainty regarding potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or its investments. Any additional regulatory or market changes that occur as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments, performance or financial condition, and might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates.
10

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity is the ability to sell a security relatively quickly for a price that most closely reflects the actual value of the security. To the extent that dealers do not maintain inventories of bonds that keep pace with the growth of the bond markets over time, relatively low levels of dealer inventories could lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. In addition, both mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are sensitive to changes in the repayment patterns of the underlying security. If the principal payment on the underlying asset is repaid faster or slower than the holder of the asset-backed or mortgage-backed security anticipates, the price of the security may fall, particularly if the holder must reinvest the repaid principal at lower rates or must continue to hold the security when interest rates rise. This effect may cause the value of the Fund to decline and reduce the overall return of the Fund. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to extension risk, which is the risk that when interest rates rise, certain mortgage-backed securities will be paid in full by the issuer more slowly than anticipated. This can cause the market value of the security to fall because the market may view its interest rate as low for a longer-term investment.
Other Funds Risk. Because the Fund invests in other funds, the performance of the Fund is dependent, in part, upon the performance of other funds in which the Fund may invest. As a result, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those faced by the other funds. In addition, other funds may be subject to additional fees and expenses that will be borne by the Fund.
Portfolio Turnover Rate Risk. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in implementing its principal investment strategies. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) involves correspondingly greater expenses which are borne by the Fund and its shareholders and may also result in short-term capital gains taxable to shareholders.
Prepayment Risk. When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and a Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. In periods of falling interest rates, the rate of
prepayments tends to increase (as does price fluctuation) as borrowers are motivated to pay off debt and refinance at new lower rates. During such periods, reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds by the management team will generally be at lower rates of return than the return on the assets that were prepaid. Prepayment generally reduces the yield to maturity and the average life of the security.
Quantitative Investing Risk. Securities selected according to a quantitative analysis methodology can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor and changes in the factor’s historical trends. Such models are based on assumptions relating to these and other market factors, and the models may not take into account certain factors, or perform as intended, and may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. Among other risks, results generated by such models may be impaired by errors in human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology systems malfunctions, or programming flaws. Such models may not perform as expected or may underperform in periods of market volatility.
Sovereign Debt Risk. Sovereign debt securities are issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities. These investments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, the relative size of the governmental entity’s debt position in relation to the economy or the failure to put in place economic reforms required by the International Monetary Fund or other multilateral agencies. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debts that a government does not pay nor are there bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid may be collected.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one-, five- and ten-year periods compared to broad-based securities market indices. The index descriptions appear in the "Index Descriptions" section of the prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart includes the effects of Fund expenses but not sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown. The table includes the effects of Fund expenses and maximum sales charges and assumes that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are only shown for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class S shares will vary. Returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown
11

because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
Effective August 16, 2013, based on approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees and notice to Fund shareholders, the Fund’s principal strategies were changed, which had the effect of decreasing the extent to which the Fund generally invests in equity securities and increasing the extent to which the Fund generally invests in debt securities. At the same time, the Fund’s name changed from Thrivent Balanced Fund to Thrivent Balanced Income Plus Fund. As a result, performance information presented below with respect to periods prior to August 16, 2013, reflects the performance of an investment portfolio that was materially different from the investment portfolio of the Fund.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 278% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in a combination of equity securities and debt securities within the ranges shown in the following table:
Broad Asset Category
Target
Allocation
Allocation
Range
Debt Securities
80%
60-95%
Equity Securities
20%
5-40%
The equity securities in which the Fund invests may include common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or securities or other instruments the price of which is linked to the value of common stock.
The debt securities in which the Fund invests may be of any maturity or credit quality, including high yield, high risk bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations commonly known as “junk bonds.” At the time of purchase, these high-yield securities are rated below BBB- by S&P, or Baa3 by Moody's, or unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. The Fund may also invest in leveraged loans, which are senior secured loans that are made by banks or other lending institutions to companies that are rated below investment grade. In addition, the Fund may invest in investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities (including commercially backed ones), convertible bonds, and sovereign and emerging market debt (both U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated).
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging markets. An “emerging market” country is any country determined by the Adviser to have an emerging market economy, considering factors such as the country’s credit rating, its political and economic stability and the development of its financial and capital markets.
The Fund utilizes derivatives primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage the Fund’s duration, or interest rate risk. The Fund may enter into derivatives contracts traded on exchanges or in the over the counter market.
The Fund may also pursue its investment strategy by investing in other mutual funds managed by the Adviser.
14

The Adviser uses fundamental, quantitative and technical investment research techniques to determine what to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects while quantitative and technical techniques involve a more data-oriented analysis of financial information, market trends and price movements.
Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of debt securities decline in value when interest rates rise for debt securities that pay a fixed rate of interest. Debt securities with longer durations (a measure of price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) or maturities (i.e., the amount of time until a bond’s issuer must pay its principal or face value) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than debt securities with shorter durations or maturities. Changes in general economic conditions, inflation, and monetary policies, such as certain types of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, could affect interest rates and the value of some securities. During periods of low interest rates or when inflation rates are high or rising, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates.
Equity Security Risk. Equity securities held by the Fund may decline significantly in price, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, geographic region, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one particular country or geographic region or one or more related sectors or industries, which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such countries, geographic regions, sectors or industries. Equity securities are generally more volatile than most debt securities.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security to which the Fund is exposed may no longer be able or willing to pay its debt. As a result of such an event, the debt security may decline in price and affect the value of the Fund.
Allocation Risk. The Fund’s investment performance depends upon how its assets are allocated across broad asset categories and applicable sub-classes within such categories. Some broad asset categories and sub-classes may perform below expectations or the securities markets generally over short and extended periods. Therefore, a principal risk of investing in the Fund is that the allocation strategies used and the allocation decisions made will not produce the desired results.
Conflicts of Interest Risk. An investment in the Fund will be subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the Adviser or its affiliates may provide services to the Fund for which the Fund would compensate the Adviser and/or such affiliates. The Fund may invest in other pooled investment vehicles sponsored, managed, or otherwise affiliated with the Adviser, including other Funds. The Adviser may have an incentive (financial or otherwise) to enter into transactions or arrangements on behalf of the Fund with itself or its affiliates in circumstances where it might not have done so otherwise.
The Adviser or its affiliates manage other investment funds and/or accounts (including proprietary accounts) and have other clients with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to, or overlap with, the investment objective and strategy of the Fund, creating conflicts of interest in investment and allocation decisions regarding the allocation of investments that could be appropriate for the Fund and other clients of the Adviser or their affiliates.
Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Fund utilizes futures on U.S. Treasuries in order to manage duration. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose much more than the original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks and volatility of investing in foreign securities is increased in connection with investments in emerging markets. The economic, political and market structures of developing countries in emerging markets, in most cases, are not as strong as the structures in the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth, stability, liquidity and transparency. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective and portfolio performance will likely be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries in the midst of, among other things, hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political upheaval or interventionist government policies, and the risks of such events are heightened within emerging market countries. Fund performance may also be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries with less developed or unreliable legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, recordkeeping and corporate governance systems and standards. In particular, there may be less publicly available and transparent information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets because such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Emerging markets may also have differing legal systems, many of which provide fewer security holder rights and practical remedies to pursue claims than are available for securities of companies in the U.S. or other developed countries, including class actions or fraud claims. Significant buying or selling actions by a few major investors may also heighten the volatility of emerging market securities.
Foreign Currency Risk. The value of a foreign currency may decline against the U.S. dollar, which would reduce the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact of such a decline of foreign currency can be significant, unpredictable, and long lasting, depending on the currencies represented, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the Fund does not engage in extensive
15

foreign currency hedging programs. Further, exchange rate movements are volatile, and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities generally carry more risk and are more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of potential for higher political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations in currency exchange rates where investments are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including interruptions in the global supply chain, market closures, war, terrorism, natural disasters and outbreak of infectious diseases. The Fund’s investment in any country could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalizing a company or industry, expropriating assets, or imposing punitive taxes that would have an adverse effect on security prices, and impair the Fund’s ability to repatriate capital or income. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to resell than comparable U.S. securities because the markets for foreign securities are often less liquid. Even when a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the appreciation may be diluted by adverse changes in exchange rates when the security’s value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement process for foreign securities.
High Yield Risk. High yield securities – commonly known as “junk bonds” – to which the Fund is exposed are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. If the issuer of the security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the value of the Fund may be negatively affected. High yield securities generally have a less liquid resale market.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
Issuer Risk. Issuer risk is the possibility that factors specific to an issuer to which the Fund is exposed will affect the market prices of the issuer’s securities and therefore the value of the Fund.
Large Cap Risk. Large-sized companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Leveraged Loan Risk. Leveraged loans (also known as bank loans) are subject to the risks typically associated with debt securities. In addition, leveraged loans, which typically hold a senior position in the capital structure of a borrower, are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate such loans to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of leveraged loans. Leveraged loans are also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. Some leveraged loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded securities and others are illiquid, which may make it more difficult for the Fund to
value them or dispose of them at an acceptable price. Below investment-grade leveraged loans are typically more credit sensitive. Also, some leveraged loans are known as “covenant lite” loans, which have contractual provisions that are more favorable to borrowers and provide less protection for lenders such as the Fund. As a result, the Fund could experience relatively greater difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant lite loans than its holdings of loans with financial maintenance covenants, which may result in losses. In the event of fraud or misrepresentation, the Fund may not be protected under federal securities laws with respect to leveraged loans that may not be in the form of “securities.” The settlement period for some leveraged loans may be more than seven days.
LIBOR Risk. The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to determine payment obligations, financing terms or investment value. Such financial instruments may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, certain asset backed securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. In 2017, the head of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, market participants have begun transitioning away from LIBOR, but certain obstacles remain with regard to converting certain securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule that would replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts using benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) after June 30, 2023. Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remains uncertainty regarding potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or its investments. Any additional regulatory or market changes that occur as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments, performance or financial condition, and might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity is the ability to sell a security relatively quickly for a price that most closely reflects the actual value of the security. To the extent that dealers do not maintain inventories of bonds that keep pace with the growth of the bond markets over time, relatively low levels of dealer inventories could lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious
16

illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. In addition, both mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are sensitive to changes in the repayment patterns of the underlying security. If the principal payment on the underlying asset is repaid faster or slower than the holder of the asset-backed or mortgage-backed security anticipates, the price of the security may fall, particularly if the holder must reinvest the repaid principal at lower rates or must continue to hold the security when interest rates rise. This effect may cause the value of the Fund to decline and reduce the overall return of the Fund. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to extension risk, which is the risk that when interest rates rise, certain mortgage-backed securities will be paid in full by the issuer more slowly than anticipated. This can cause the market value of the security to fall because the market may view its interest rate as low for a longer-term investment.
Other Funds Risk. Because the Fund invests in other funds, the performance of the Fund is dependent, in part, upon the performance of other funds in which the Fund may invest. As a result, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those faced by the other funds. In addition, other funds may be subject to additional fees and expenses that will be borne by the Fund.
Portfolio Turnover Rate Risk. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in implementing its principal investment strategies. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) involves correspondingly greater expenses which are borne by the Fund and its shareholders and may also result in short-term capital gains taxable to shareholders.
Preferred Securities Risk. There are certain additional risks associated with investing in preferred securities, including, but not limited to, preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, at its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a stated period without any adverse consequences to the issuer; preferred securities are generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of having priority to corporate income and liquidation payments, and therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than more senior debt instruments; preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or U.S. Government securities; generally, traditional preferred securities offer no voting rights with respect to the issuing company unless preferred dividends have been in arrears for a specified number of periods, at which time the preferred security holders may elect a number of directors to the issuer’s board; and in certain varying circumstances, an issuer of preferred securities may redeem the securities prior to a specified date.
Prepayment Risk. When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and a Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. In periods of falling interest rates, the rate of prepayments tends to increase (as does price fluctuation) as borrowers are motivated to pay off debt and refinance at new
lower rates. During such periods, reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds by the management team will generally be at lower rates of return than the return on the assets that were prepaid. Prepayment generally reduces the yield to maturity and the average life of the security.
Quantitative Investing Risk. Securities selected according to a quantitative analysis methodology can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor and changes in the factor’s historical trends. Such models are based on assumptions relating to these and other market factors, and the models may not take into account certain factors, or perform as intended, and may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. Among other risks, results generated by such models may be impaired by errors in human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology systems malfunctions, or programming flaws. Such models may not perform as expected or may underperform in periods of market volatility.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one-, five- and ten-year periods compared to broad-based securities market indices. The index descriptions appear in the "Index Descriptions" section of the prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart includes the effects of Fund expenses but not sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown. The table includes the effects of Fund expenses and maximum sales charges and assumes that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are only shown for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class S shares will vary. Returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 58% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of domestic and international companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests approximately 40% of its net assets in foreign assets. However, the Fund could invest a much lower percentage of its net assets in foreign assets depending on market conditions. An asset may be determined to be foreign based on the issuer’s domicile, principal place of business, stock exchange listing, source of revenue, or other factors. Foreign securities may also include depositary receipts. Should the Adviser change the investments used for purposes of this 80% threshold, you will be notified at least 60 days prior to the change.
The Fund will generally make the following allocations among the broad asset classes listed below:
U.S. large-cap equity
0-60%
U.S. mid-cap equity
0-25%
U.S. small-cap equity
0-25%
Developed international equity
0-60%
Emerging markets equity
0-25%
The Fund’s actual holdings in each broad asset category may be outside the applicable allocation range from time to time due to differing investment performances among asset classes. These allocations may change without shareholder approval or advance notice to shareholders to the extent consistent with applicable law.
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in domestic and foreign common stocks. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts to either hedge its exposure or obtain exposure to certain investments. The Adviser uses fundamental, quantitative, and technical investment research techniques to determine what stocks to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects while quantitative and technical techniques involve a more data-oriented analysis of financial information, market trends and price movements. The Fund may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or reposition assets into more promising opportunities.
19

The Fund may also pursue its investment strategy by investing in other mutual funds managed by the Adviser.
Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Equity Security Risk. Equity securities held by the Fund may decline significantly in price, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, geographic region, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one particular country or geographic region or one or more related sectors or industries, which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such countries, geographic regions, sectors or industries. Equity securities are generally more volatile than most debt securities.
Allocation Risk. The Fund’s investment performance depends upon how its assets are allocated across broad asset categories and applicable sub-classes within such categories. Some broad asset categories and sub-classes may perform below expectations or the securities markets generally over short and extended periods. Therefore, a principal risk of investing in the Fund is that the allocation strategies used and the allocation decisions made will not produce the desired results.
Large Cap Risk. Large-sized companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Conflicts of Interest Risk. An investment in the Fund will be subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the Adviser or its affiliates may provide services to the Fund for which the Fund would compensate the Adviser and/or such affiliates. The Fund may invest in other pooled investment vehicles sponsored, managed, or otherwise affiliated with the Adviser, including other Funds. The Adviser may have an incentive (financial or otherwise) to enter into transactions or arrangements on behalf of the Fund with itself or its affiliates in circumstances where it might not have done so otherwise.
The Adviser or its affiliates manage other investment funds and/or accounts (including proprietary accounts) and have other clients with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to, or overlap with, the investment objective and strategy of the Fund, creating conflicts of interest in investment and allocation decisions regarding the allocation of investments that could be appropriate for the Fund and other clients of the Adviser or their affiliates.
Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Fund utilizes equity futures in order to increase or decrease its exposure to various asset classes at a lower cost than trading stocks directly. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by
certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose much more than the original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks and volatility of investing in foreign securities is increased in connection with investments in emerging markets. The economic, political and market structures of developing countries in emerging markets, in most cases, are not as strong as the structures in the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth, stability, liquidity and transparency. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective and portfolio performance will likely be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries in the midst of, among other things, hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political upheaval or interventionist government policies, and the risks of such events are heightened within emerging market countries. Fund performance may also be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries with less developed or unreliable legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, recordkeeping and corporate governance systems and standards. In particular, there may be less publicly available and transparent information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets because such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Emerging markets may also have differing legal systems, many of which provide fewer security holder rights and practical remedies to pursue claims than are available for securities of companies in the U.S. or other developed countries, including class actions or fraud claims. Significant buying or selling actions by a few major investors may also heighten the volatility of emerging market securities.
Foreign Currency Risk. The value of a foreign currency may decline against the U.S. dollar, which would reduce the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact of such a decline of foreign currency can be significant, unpredictable, and long lasting, depending on the currencies represented, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the Fund does not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging programs. Further, exchange rate movements are volatile, and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities generally carry more risk and are more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of potential for higher political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations in currency exchange rates where investments are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including interruptions in the global supply chain, market closures, war, terrorism, natural disasters and outbreak of infectious diseases. The Fund’s investment in any country could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalizing a company or industry, expropriating assets, or
20

imposing punitive taxes that would have an adverse effect on security prices, and impair the Fund’s ability to repatriate capital or income. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to resell than comparable U.S. securities because the markets for foreign securities are often less liquid. Even when a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the appreciation may be diluted by adverse changes in exchange rates when the security’s value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement process for foreign securities.
Futures Contract Risk. The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying instrument. The price of futures can be highly volatile; using them could lower total return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the Fund’s initial investment in such contracts. In addition, the value of the futures contract may not accurately track the value of the underlying instrument.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
Issuer Risk. Issuer risk is the possibility that factors specific to an issuer to which the Fund is exposed will affect the market prices of the issuer’s securities and therefore the value of the Fund.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Mid Cap Risk. Medium-sized companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more-established companies. These companies tend to have smaller revenues, narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources, and less competitive strength than larger companies.
Other Funds Risk. Because the Fund invests in other funds, the performance of the Fund is dependent, in part, upon the performance of other funds in which the Fund may invest. As a result, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those faced by the other funds. In addition, other funds may be subject to additional fees and expenses that will be borne by the Fund.
Quantitative Investing Risk. Securities selected according to a quantitative analysis methodology can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor and changes in the factor’s historical trends. Such models are based on assumptions relating to these and other market factors, and the
models may not take into account certain factors, or perform as intended, and may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. Among other risks, results generated by such models may be impaired by errors in human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology systems malfunctions, or programming flaws. Such models may not perform as expected or may underperform in periods of market volatility.
Small Cap Risk. Smaller, less seasoned companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. These companies tend to have small revenues, narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, small shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources, and less competitive strength than larger companies. Such companies seldom pay significant dividends that could soften the impact of a falling market on returns.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one-, five- and ten-year periods compared to a broad-based securities market index. The index description appears in the "Index Descriptions" section of the prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart includes the effects of Fund expenses, but not sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown. The table includes the effects of Fund expenses and maximum sales charges and assumes that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are only shown for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class S shares will vary. Returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2024, to waive a portion of the management fees associated with the Class S and A shares of the Thrivent Government Bond Fund in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements to an annual rate of 0.52% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and A shares, respectively. This contractual provision, however, may be terminated
before the indicated termination date upon the mutual agreement between the Independent Trustees of the Fund and the Adviser.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. For Class A shares, the example includes the initial sales charge. In addition, the example for the 1 Year period reflects the effect of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:
 
1 Year

Class A

$1,566
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 372% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. government bonds. For purposes of this disclosure, “U.S. government bonds” are debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, including U.S. Treasuries, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), U.S. Government Agency debt, and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac). Should the Adviser change the investments used for purposes of this 80% threshold, you will be notified at least 60 days prior to the change.
The Fund’s portfolio securities may be of any maturity. The Adviser uses fundamental and other investment research techniques to determine what debt obligations to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects. The “total return” sought by the Fund consists of income earned on the Fund’s investments plus capital appreciation, if any. The
23

Fund may invest in U.S. dollar denominated sovereign debt of foreign governments.
The Fund utilizes derivatives primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage the Fund’s duration, or interest rate risk. The Fund may enter into derivatives contracts traded on exchanges or in the over the counter market.
Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as Federal Home Loan Bank, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac securities). Securities issued or guaranteed by Federal Home Loan Banks, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are not issued directly by the U.S. government. Ginnie Mae is a wholly owned U.S. corporation that is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, the timely payment of principal and interest of its securities. By contrast, securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations such as Federal Home Loan Banks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. In addition, the value of U.S. government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. government, which may be negatively impacted by rising levels of indebtedness. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. In addition, both mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are sensitive to changes in the repayment patterns of the underlying security. If the principal payment on the underlying asset is repaid faster or slower than the holder of the asset-backed or mortgage-backed security anticipates, the price of the security may fall, particularly if the holder must reinvest the repaid principal at lower rates or must continue to hold the security when interest rates rise. This effect may cause the value of the Fund to decline and reduce the overall return of the Fund. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to extension risk, which is the risk that when interest rates rise, certain mortgage-backed securities will be paid in full by the issuer more slowly than anticipated. This can cause the market value of the security to fall because the market may view its interest rate as low for a longer-term investment.
Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities, such as TIPS, are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase
when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-linked securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the Fund will not receive the principal until maturity.
There can also be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. The Fund’s investments in inflation-linked securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. In addition, inflation-linked securities are subject to the risk that the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) or other relevant pricing index may be discontinued, fundamentally altered in a manner materially adverse to the interests of an investor in the securities, altered by legislation or Executive Order in a materially adverse manner to the interests of an investor in the securities or substituted with an alternative index.
Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Fund utilizes futures on U.S. Treasuries in order to manage duration. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose much more than the original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of debt securities decline in value when interest rates rise for debt securities that pay a fixed rate of interest. Debt securities with longer durations (a measure of price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) or maturities (i.e., the amount of time until a bond’s issuer must pay its principal or face value) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than debt securities with shorter durations or maturities. Changes in general economic conditions, inflation, and monetary policies, such as certain types of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, could affect interest rates and the value of some securities. During periods of low interest rates or when inflation rates are high or rising, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
LIBOR Risk. The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to determine payment obligations, financing terms or investment value. Such financial instruments may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, certain asset backed securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. In 2017,
24

the head of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, market participants have begun transitioning away from LIBOR, but certain obstacles remain with regard to converting certain securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule that would replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts using benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) after June 30, 2023. Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remains uncertainty regarding potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or its investments. Any additional regulatory or market changes that occur as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments, performance or financial condition, and might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity is the ability to sell a security relatively quickly for a price that most closely reflects the actual value of the security. To the extent that dealers do not maintain inventories of bonds that keep pace with the growth of the bond markets over time, relatively low levels of dealer inventories could lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Portfolio Turnover Rate Risk. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in implementing its principal investment strategies. A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) involves correspondingly greater expenses which are borne by the Fund and its shareholders and may also result in short-term capital gains taxable to shareholders.
Redemption Risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests. The Fund could experience a loss when selling portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if there is (i) significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor or few large investors make a significant redemption of Fund shares, (ii) a disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Fund buys and sells portfolio securities or (iii) the inability of the Fund to sell portfolio securities because such securities are illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio
securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Sovereign Debt Risk. Sovereign debt securities are issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities. These investments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, the relative size of the governmental entity’s debt position in relation to the economy or the failure to put in place economic reforms required by the International Monetary Fund or other multilateral agencies. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debts that a government does not pay nor are there bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid may be collected.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one-, five- and ten-year periods compared to broad-based securities market indices. The index descriptions appear in the “Index Descriptions” section of the prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart includes the effects of Fund expenses, but not sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown. The table includes the effects of Fund expenses and maximum sales charges and assumes that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are only shown for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class S shares will vary. Returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2024, to waive a portion of the management fees associated with the Class S shares of the Thrivent High Income Municipal Bond Fund in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements to an annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Class S shares. This contractual provision, however, may be terminated before the indicated termination date upon the mutual agreement between the Independent Trustees of the Fund and the Adviser.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. In addition, the example for the 1 Year period reflects the effect of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual cost
may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 49% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in municipal bonds, the income of which is exempt from federal income taxation. The Fund may count securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax toward the 80% investment requirement.
The Fund invests at least 50% of its assets in debt securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated within or below the “BBB” major rating category by S&P or Fitch, or the “Baa” major rating category by Moody’s, or are unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
The Fund’s Adviser uses fundamental and other investment research techniques to determine what municipal bonds to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects. The Fund uses an interest rate management technique that includes the purchase and sale of U.S. Treasury futures contracts for the purpose of managing the duration, or interest rate risk, of the Fund.
Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Municipal Bond Risk. The Fund’s performance may be affected by political and economic conditions at the state, regional or federal level. These may include budgetary problems, decline in the tax base and other factors that may cause rating agencies to downgrade the credit ratings on certain issues. Bonds may also exhibit price fluctuations due to changes in interest rate or bond yield levels. Some municipal bonds may be repaid prior to maturity if interest rates decrease. As a result, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate significantly in the short term.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of debt securities decline in value when interest rates rise for debt
27

securities that pay a fixed rate of interest. Debt securities with longer durations (a measure of price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) or maturities (i.e., the amount of time until a bond’s issuer must pay its principal or face value) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than debt securities with shorter durations or maturities. Changes in general economic conditions, inflation, and monetary policies, such as certain types of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, could affect interest rates and the value of some securities. During periods of low interest rates or when inflation rates are high or rising, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates.
High Yield Risk. High yield securities – commonly known as “junk bonds” – to which the Fund is exposed are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. If the issuer of the security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the value of the Fund may be negatively affected. High yield securities generally have a less liquid resale market.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security to which the Fund is exposed may no longer be able or willing to pay its debt. As a result of such an event, the debt security may decline in price and affect the value of the Fund.
Futures Contract Risk. The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying instrument. The price of futures can be highly volatile; using them could lower total return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the Fund’s initial investment in such contracts. In addition, the value of the futures contract may not accurately track the value of the underlying instrument.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
LIBOR Risk. The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to determine payment obligations, financing terms or investment value. Such financial instruments may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, certain asset backed securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. In 2017, the head of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, market participants have begun transitioning away from LIBOR, but certain obstacles remain with regard to converting certain securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule that would replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts using benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) after June 30, 2023. Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remains uncertainty regarding potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or its investments. Any additional regulatory or market changes that occur as a result of the transition away from LIBOR
and the adoption of alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments, performance or financial condition, and might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity is the ability to sell a security relatively quickly for a price that most closely reflects the actual value of the security. Brokers and dealers have decreased their inventories of municipal bonds in recent years. This could limit the Adviser’s ability to buy or sell these bonds and increase price volatility and trading costs, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. In addition, recent federal banking regulations may cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of municipal bonds, which may further decrease the Adviser’s ability to buy or sell bonds. As a result, the Adviser may be forced to accept a lower price to sell a security, to sell other securities to raise cash, or to give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Redemption Risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests. The Fund could experience a loss when selling portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if there is (i) significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor or few large investors make a significant redemption of Fund shares, (ii) a disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Fund buys and sells portfolio securities or (iii) the inability of the Fund to sell portfolio securities because such securities are illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Tax Risk. 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. Since the Fund may invest in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax without limitation, the Fund may not be suitable for investors who already are or could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class S shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for the one-year period and since inception compared to broad-based securities market indices. The Fund now compares its return to the Bloomberg 65% High Grade/35% High Yield Bond Index because the Fund believes it more accurately represents the Fund’s investment objective and principal strategies. The index descriptions appear in the “Index Descriptions” section of the
28

prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart and the table include the effects of Fund expenses and assume that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. Returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. For Class A shares, the example includes the initial sales charge. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in high yield, high risk bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations (including leveraged loans, mortgage-backed securities, convertible bonds, and convertible stock), or preferred stocks. These securities are commonly known as “junk bonds.” At the time of purchase these securities are rated below BBB- by S&P, or Baaa3 by Moody’s, or unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. The Fund invests in securities regardless of the securities’ maturity average and may also invest in foreign securities. Should the Adviser change the investments used for purposes of this 80% threshold, you will be notified at least 60 days prior to the change.
The Adviser uses fundamental and other investment research techniques to determine what securities to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects. The Adviser focuses on U.S. companies which it believes have or are expected to achieve adequate cash flows or access to capital markets for the payment of principal and interest obligations.
The Fund utilizes derivatives primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage the Fund’s duration, or interest rate risk. The Fund may enter into derivatives contracts traded on exchanges or in the over the counter market.
Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
High Yield Risk. High yield securities – commonly known as “junk bonds” – to which the Fund is exposed are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. If the issuer of the security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the value of the Fund may be negatively affected. High yield securities generally have a less liquid resale market.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of debt securities decline in value when interest rates rise for debt securities that pay a fixed rate of interest. Debt securities with longer durations (a measure of price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) or maturities (i.e., the amount of time until a bond’s issuer must pay its principal or face value) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than debt securities with shorter durations or maturities. Changes in general
31

economic conditions, inflation, and monetary policies, such as certain types of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, could affect interest rates and the value of some securities. During periods of low interest rates or when inflation rates are high or rising, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security to which the Fund is exposed may no longer be able or willing to pay its debt. As a result of such an event, the debt security may decline in price and affect the value of the Fund.
Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt securities, such as interest rate risk and credit risk. Convertible securities also react to changes in the value of the common stock into which they convert, and are thus subject to market risk. The Fund may also be forced to convert a convertible security at an inopportune time, which may decrease the Fund’s return.
Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Fund utilizes futures on U.S. Treasuries in order to manage duration. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose much more than the original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.
Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities generally carry more risk and are more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of potential for higher political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations in currency exchange rates where investments are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including interruptions in the global supply chain, market closures, war, terrorism, natural disasters and outbreak of infectious diseases. The Fund’s investment in any country could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalizing a company or industry, expropriating assets, or imposing punitive taxes that would have an adverse effect on security prices, and impair the Fund’s ability to repatriate capital or income. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to resell than comparable U.S. securities because the markets for foreign securities are often less liquid. Even when a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the appreciation may be diluted by adverse changes in exchange rates when the security’s value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement process for foreign securities.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
Leveraged Loan Risk. Leveraged loans (also known as bank loans) are subject to the risks typically associated with debt
securities. In addition, leveraged loans, which typically hold a senior position in the capital structure of a borrower, are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate such loans to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of leveraged loans. Leveraged loans are also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. Some leveraged loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded securities and others are illiquid, which may make it more difficult for the Fund to value them or dispose of them at an acceptable price. Below investment-grade leveraged loans are typically more credit sensitive. Also, some leveraged loans are known as “covenant lite” loans, which have contractual provisions that are more favorable to borrowers and provide less protection for lenders such as the Fund. As a result, the Fund could experience relatively greater difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant lite loans than its holdings of loans with financial maintenance covenants, which may result in losses. In the event of fraud or misrepresentation, the Fund may not be protected under federal securities laws with respect to leveraged loans that may not be in the form of “securities.” The settlement period for some leveraged loans may be more than seven days.
LIBOR Risk. The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to determine payment obligations, financing terms or investment value. Such financial instruments may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, certain asset backed securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. In 2017, the head of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, market participants have begun transitioning away from LIBOR, but certain obstacles remain with regard to converting certain securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule that would replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts using benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) after June 30, 2023. Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remains uncertainty regarding potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or its investments. Any additional regulatory or market changes that occur as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments, performance or financial condition, and might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity is the ability to sell a security relatively quickly for a price that most closely reflects the actual value of the security. To the extent that dealers do not maintain inventories of bonds that keep pace with the growth of the bond markets over time, relatively low levels of dealer inventories could lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets, particularly during periods of economic or market stress. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s
32

investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Prepayment Risk. When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and a Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. In periods of falling interest rates, the rate of prepayments tends to increase (as does price fluctuation) as borrowers are motivated to pay off debt and refinance at new lower rates. During such periods, reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds by the management team will generally be at lower rates of return than the return on the assets that were prepaid. Prepayment generally reduces the yield to maturity and the average life of the security.
Redemption Risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests. The Fund could experience a loss when selling portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if there is (i) significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor or few large investors make a significant redemption of Fund shares, (ii) a disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Fund buys and sells portfolio securities or (iii) the inability of the Fund to sell portfolio securities because such securities are illiquid. In such events, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in an effort to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one-, five- and ten-year periods compared to a broad-based securities market index. The index description appears in the "Index Descriptions" section of the prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart includes the effects of Fund expenses, but not sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown. The table includes the effects of Fund expenses and maximum sales charges and assumes that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are only shown for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class S shares will vary. Returns after taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 39% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
The principal strategies of the Fund are to invest in investment-grade corporate bonds, government bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, and other types of debt securities. Asset-backed securities are securities backed by notes or receivables originated by banks, credit card companies or other providers of credit.
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging markets. An “emerging market” country is any country determined by the Adviser to have an emerging market economy, considering factors such as the country’s credit rating, its political and economic stability and the development of its financial and capital markets.
Under normal conditions, at least 65% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in investment grade debt securities or preferred stock. At the time of purchase, these investment grade securities are rated at or above BBB- by S&P, or Baa3 by Moody’s, or unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. When a rating from only two agencies is available, the lower is used. In cases where explicit bond level ratings may not be available, the Adviser may use other sources to classify securities by credit quality.
The Fund may also invest in high yield, high risk bonds, notes, debentures and other debt obligations or preferred stock commonly known as “junk bonds.” At the time of purchase these securities are rated within or below the “BB” major rating category by S&P or the “Ba” major rating category by Moody’s or are unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
The Adviser uses fundamental and other investment research techniques to determine what debt obligations to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects. The Adviser may purchase bonds of any maturity and generally focuses on U.S. companies that it believes are financially sound and have strong cash flow, asset values and interest or dividend earnings. The Adviser purchases bonds of foreign issuers as well.
The Fund utilizes derivatives primarily in the form of U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage the Fund’s duration, or
35

interest rate risk. The Fund may enter into derivatives contracts traded on exchanges or in the over the counter market.
The Fund may invest in securities of any market sector and may hold a significant amount of securities of companies, from time to time, within a single sector such as financials.
Principal Risks
The Fund is subject to the following principal investment risks, which you should review carefully and in entirety. The Fund may not achieve its investment objectives and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of debt securities decline in value when interest rates rise for debt securities that pay a fixed rate of interest. Debt securities with longer durations (a measure of price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in interest rates) or maturities (i.e., the amount of time until a bond’s issuer must pay its principal or face value) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than debt securities with shorter durations or maturities. Changes in general economic conditions, inflation, and monetary policies, such as certain types of interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, could affect interest rates and the value of some securities. During periods of low interest rates or when inflation rates are high or rising, the Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security to which the Fund is exposed may no longer be able or willing to pay its debt. As a result of such an event, the debt security may decline in price and affect the value of the Fund.
High Yield Risk. High yield securities – commonly known as “junk bonds” – to which the Fund is exposed are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. If the issuer of the security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the value of the Fund may be negatively affected. High yield securities generally have a less liquid resale market.
Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Fund utilizes futures on U.S. Treasuries in order to manage duration. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose much more than the original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks and volatility of investing in foreign securities is increased in connection with investments in emerging markets. The economic, political and market structures of developing countries in emerging markets, in most cases, are not as strong as the structures in the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth, stability, liquidity and transparency. A Fund may not achieve its investment objective and portfolio performance will likely be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries in the midst of, among other
things, hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political upheaval or interventionist government policies, and the risks of such events are heightened within emerging market countries. Fund performance may also be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries with less developed or unreliable legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, recordkeeping and corporate governance systems and standards. In particular, there may be less publicly available and transparent information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets because such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Emerging markets may also have differing legal systems, many of which provide fewer security holder rights and practical remedies to pursue claims than are available for securities of companies in the U.S. or other developed countries, including class actions or fraud claims. Significant buying or selling actions by a few major investors may also heighten the volatility of emerging market securities.
Financial Sector Risk. To the extent that the financials sector continues to represent a significant portion of the Fund, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Performance of companies in the financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit markets. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation of any individual financial company or recent or future regulation of the financials sector as a whole cannot be predicted. In recent years, cyber attacks and technology malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent in this sector and have caused significant losses.
Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities generally carry more risk and are more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of potential for higher political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations in currency exchange rates where investments are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including interruptions in the global supply chain, market closures, war, terrorism, natural disasters and outbreak of infectious diseases. The Fund’s investment in any country could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalizing a company or industry, expropriating assets, or imposing punitive taxes that would have an adverse effect on security prices, and impair the Fund’s ability to repatriate capital or income. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to resell than comparable U.S. securities because the markets for foreign securities are often less liquid. Even when a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the appreciation may be diluted by adverse changes in exchange rates when the security’s value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement process for foreign securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as Federal Home Loan Bank, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac securities). Securities issued or guaranteed by Federal Home Loan Banks, Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are not issued directly by the U.S.
36

government. Ginnie Mae is a wholly owned U.S. corporation that is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, the timely payment of principal and interest of its securities. By contrast, securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations such as Federal Home Loan Banks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. In addition, the value of U.S. government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. government, which may be negatively impacted by rising levels of indebtedness. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. The assessment of potential Fund investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.
Issuer Risk. Issuer risk is the possibility that factors specific to an issuer to which the Fund is exposed will affect the market prices of the issuer’s securities and therefore the value of the Fund.
LIBOR Risk. The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) to determine payment obligations, financing terms or investment value. Such financial instruments may include bank loans, derivatives, floating rate securities, certain asset backed securities, and other assets or liabilities tied to LIBOR. In 2017, the head of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. As a result, market participants have begun transitioning away from LIBOR, but certain obstacles remain with regard to converting certain securities and transactions to a new benchmark or benchmarks. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a rule that would replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts using benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) after June 30, 2023. Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remains uncertainty regarding potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or its investments. Any additional regulatory or market changes that occur as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund's investments, performance or financial condition, and might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity is the ability to sell a security relatively quickly for a price that most closely reflects the actual value of the security. To the extent that dealers do not maintain inventories of bonds that keep pace with the growth of the bond markets over time, relatively low levels of dealer inventories could lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets, particularly during periods of economic or market
stress. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance.
Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Fund’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Fund’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, natural disasters or similar events.
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. In addition, both mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are sensitive to changes in the repayment patterns of the underlying security. If the principal payment on the underlying asset is repaid faster or slower than the holder of the asset-backed or mortgage-backed security anticipates, the price of the security may fall, particularly if the holder must reinvest the repaid principal at lower rates or must continue to hold the security when interest rates rise. This effect may cause the value of the Fund to decline and reduce the overall return of the Fund. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to extension risk, which is the risk that when interest rates rise, certain mortgage-backed securities will be paid in full by the issuer more slowly than anticipated. This can cause the market value of the security to fall because the market may view its interest rate as low for a longer-term investment.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one-, five- and ten-year periods compared to a broad-based securities market index. The index description appears in the "Index Descriptions" section of the prospectus. Call 800-847-4836 or visit thriventfunds.com for performance results current to the most recent month-end.
The bar chart includes the effects of Fund expenses, but not sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown. The table includes the effects of Fund expenses and maximum sales charges and assumes that you sold your shares at the end of the period. The after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are only shown for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class S shares will vary. Returns after
37

taxes on distributions and redemptions may be higher than before tax returns and/or after taxes on distributions shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized in the redemption of Fund shares.
How the Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time.
