Advisory Persons, Other Business Names and Locations
Thrivent Advisor Network offers and delivers its investment management and advisory services through a network of
investment adviser representatives (herein “Advisory Persons”).
Certain Advisory Persons market and deliver advisory services under a “doing business as” (“dba”) name and may
have their own legal business entities whose business names and logos appear on marketing materials as approved
by Thrivent Advisor Network, or client statements approved by the custodian. The businesses are legal entities of the
Advisory Persons and not of Thrivent Advisor Network, nor the custodian. Business entities may provide services other
than the investment advisory services offered by Thrivent Advisory Network through your Advisory Person under this
Disclosure Brochure, as disclosed herein and in your Advisory Person’s Form ADV 2B (“Brochure Supplement”).
However, investment advisory services are engaged exclusively through Thrivent Advisor Network.
Detailed information regarding each Advisory Person is contained in the respective Brochure Supplement. In
addition, dba names and branch office locations are listed on Schedule D of Thrivent Advisor Network’s Form ADV
Part 1 (available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov/Firm/304569).
Item 2 – Material Changes
The following material changes have been made to this brochure since our last update on September 24, 2025:
• Under Item 5 – Fees and Compensation, subsection C. Other Fees and Expenses, the bolded language in the
following paragraph was added:
o You may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments
made on behalf of your account(s). In addition, all fees paid to us for investment advisory services
are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their
shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus.
These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund
expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. In connection with the investment advisory services provided by us, you
will incur other costs assessed by the Custodian or other third parties, other than the Advisor
Management Fee noted above, such as fees for transactions executed away from the chosen
Custodian, dealer mark-ups and spreads paid to market- makers. TAN’s Advisor Management
Fee also does not cover debit balances or related margin interest, “mark-ups” and “mark- downs”
or “dealer spreads” that broker-dealers (including their broker-dealer affiliates) may receive when
acting as principal in certain transactions, applicable brokerage commissions for certain securities
(for example: foreign stock settlements, thinly traded or non- traded securities, etc.) or other
charges resulting from transactions not executed through the chosen Custodian. TAN’s Advisor
Management Fee also does not cover costs associated with exchanging foreign currencies, odd-
lot differentials, IRA fees, transfer taxes, exchange fees, wire transfer fees, extensions, non-
sufficient funds, mailgrams, legal transfers, bank wire charges, postage fees, Securities and
Exchange Commission fees, or other fees or taxes required by law. Advisory Persons may
cover certain custodial fees assessed to you by the Custodian. This creates a conflict of
interest, as fees could be absorbed for some clients and not others. We manage this
conflict by training our Advisory Persons on their fiduciary duty to act in the best interest
of their clients as well as reviewing such activity on a regular basis. TAN’s Advisor
Management Fee does not cover charges imposed by third parties for investments held in the
account, such as contingent deferred sales charges, early redemption fees or 12(b)-1 fees on
mutual funds, fee-based annuity contracts and fee-based 529 accounts.
Future Changes
From time to time, we may amend this Disclosure Brochure to reflect changes in our business practices, changes in
regulations or routine annual updates as required by the securities regulators. This complete Disclosure Brochure or a
Summary of Material Changes shall be provided to you annually if a material change occurs in the business practices
of Thrivent Advisor Network.
At any time, you may view the current Disclosure Brochure online at the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure
website at adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with Thrivent Advisor Network’s firm name or CRD #304569. You may also

Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Thrivent Advisor Network, LLC (“TAN,” “our,” "us," or “we”) is organized as a limited liability company (“LLC”) under the
laws of the State of Delaware and is a registered investment adviser with the SEC offering investment advisory services
since 2019. TAN is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, which is in
turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
B. Advisory Services
TAN serves as the portfolio manager for the investment advisory services under this Disclosure Brochure, whereby we
provide discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals,
families, trusts, estates, businesses, and retirement plans through our Advisory Persons. Clients receive ongoing
investment advice, but separately pay for securities transactions and brokerage-related fees (i.e., “non-wrap” account).
Advisory Persons may recommend the use of affiliated and non-affiliated Independent Managers and Investment
Platforms for investment advisory services. The use of Independent Managers and Investment Platforms offers Clients
the ability to utilize affiliated and unaffiliated investment managers on a wrap-fee or non-wrap fee basis. Certain
Independent Managers and Investment Platforms are limited to TAN’s Wrap Fee Program.
The words “Client,” “you,” and “your” refer to the person(s) who completes and signs the TAN Investment Management
Agreement, whether one or more individuals or entities. Prior to engaging us to provide investment advisory services,
you are required to enter into one or more agreements with us that define the terms, conditions, authority and
responsibilities of us, our Advisory Persons, and you.
Investment advisory services include the following:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Advisory Persons, in connection with you, will develop a strategy
targeted to achieve your investment goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Advisory Persons will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet your
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and risk tolerance.
• Portfolio Construction – Advisory Persons will develop a portfolio that is intended to meet your stated goals
and objectives.
•
Investment Management and Monitoring – Advisory Persons will provide investment management and
ongoing monitoring of your portfolio.
C. Client Account Management
Advisory Persons will provide you with customized investment advisory solutions through continuous personal contact,
on-demand access, and interaction, while providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment management and
related advisory services. Advisory Persons will work closely with you to identify your investment goals and objectives,
risk tolerance, and financial situation to develop an appropriate investment strategy for you. Advisory Persons will
then implement an investment portfolio that seeks to achieve the outcome(s) of your investment strategy. Advisory
Persons may recommend internal investment management by its staff and/or the use of independent managers or
investment platforms (please see below). For discretionary investment management accounts, you will have the
opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in your portfolio(s), subject to
acceptance by TAN.
Internal Investment Management – Advisory Persons will seek to utilize low-cost, diversified mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) for your portfolio. Advisory Persons may also utilize individual equities, individual
bonds, complex investments such as alternative investment asset classes (refer to Item 8 – Methods of Analysis,
Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for more information), brokered certificates of deposits (“CDs”), fee-based
annuity sub-accounts, fee-based 529 accounts, and other types of investments including cash equivalent investments,
as appropriate, to meet your needs. Advisory Persons may retain certain legacy positions for you based on portfolio fit
and/or tax considerations. The legacy position(s) you hold will be included as part of the investment advisory service
and advisory fee billing unless you notify us in writing to exclude the legacy position(s). Note that neither TAN nor its
Advisory Persons provide legal or tax advice.
Our investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but Advisory Persons may buy, sell, or re-allocate investments
that have been held for less than one year to meet your objectives or due to market conditions. Advisory Persons will
construct, implement, and monitor your portfolio to ensure it meets your goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk
tolerance. Note that certain alternative investments are not allowed or eligible for ERISA and other tax-qualified
accounts.
Advisory Persons evaluate and select investments for Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence
process. Advisory Persons may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. Advisory Persons may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings.
Page 4 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
Advisory Persons may also recommend employing cash positions as an asset class and as possible hedge against
market movement. Advisory Persons may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to,
harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities,
overvaluation or overweighting of the position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash
to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. It is more profitable for TAN to
sell products issued by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and its affiliates than those issued by other companies. As a
result, TAN has a financial incentive to recommend them over other companies’ products. Client portfolio assets may
include one or more Thrivent Mutual Funds and/or Thrivent Exchange Traded Funds (Thrivent ETFs). When Clients
invest in Thrivent Mutual Funds and/or Thrivent ETFs, our affiliate Thrivent Asset Management, LLC receives fees
(including revenue sharing) for serving as the Investment Manager for the mutual funds and ETFs and for providing
administrative and accounting services to the funds pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement. A conflict of
interest exists when Advisory Persons recommend or elect to purchase a Thrivent Mutual Fund and/or Thrivent ETF in
Client portfolios. We mitigate this conflict by training our Advisory Persons on their responsibilities as a fiduciary and
the duty of care owed to Clients under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”).
Fee-based annuities - Advisory Persons will provide investment advice in connection with one or more fee-based
annuities (each a "Contract"). Each Contract is an annuity issued by an insurance company (the “Fee-Based Annuity
Sponsor”). Each Contract allows you to allocate your contract purchases (less any charges) to sub-accounts and
corresponding underlying investment funds the Fee-Based Annuity Sponsor has designated as eligible for its annuity
separate account (the "Funds"). The selection of Funds provides an opportunity to design a diversified investment
portfolio in a specified asset class or achieve a specific investment strategy. Each of the Funds will have unique
expense ratios based on the allocation within the Contract. Additional information about the Funds is available in the
Contract's prospectus.
Fee-based 529 accounts - Advisory Persons will provide portfolio management services, with full investment
discretion. The account will be tailored to the particular needs of the Client and may consist of a mix of asset classes
and weightings based on the Client’s risk profile, investment objective, and individual preferences. Client
acknowledges that 529 college savings plans limit how often an account owner can reallocate existing assets within a
529 college savings plan account such as only twice per calendar year and consequently Advisory Persons are
limited to such restrictions. Client also grants Advisory Persons the power and authority to carry out these decisions
by giving instructions, on behalf of Client, to 529 college savings plan sponsor and qualified custodian.
At no time will we accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as detailed
in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account(s), pursuant to the Investment
Management Agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Independent Managers and Investment Platforms – An Advisory Person may recommend that you utilize investment
advisory services and/or model portfolios of one or more investment managers or investment platforms (collectively
“Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of your investment portfolio, based on your needs and objectives.
Investment Managers include our affiliate Thrivent Asset Management, LLC, third-party money managers, third-party
sub-advisors, and/or third-party investment platforms. You will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV
2A Disclosure Brochure (or a brochure that provides information about the Independent Manager and the advisory
services it provides, conflicts of interests and other important information).
The use of an Independent Manager may require your authorization by entering into an investment management
agreement with the Independent Manager(s) that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager(s) will provide
investment management and related services. Advisory Persons will assist in developing investment
recommendations and managing ongoing Client relationships. TAN will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due
diligence over the selected Independent Manager(s) to ensure the strategy remains aligned with your investment
objectives and overall best interests.
When an Independent Manager serves as a sub-advisor (“Sub-Advisor”), the Sub-Advisor will have the authority to
provide discretionary investment advisory services with respect to the assets held in your specified account. This
means placing trade orders for transactions without first contacting you and obtaining your permission. The Sub-
Advisor will provide these services in accordance with the direction of Advisory Persons through the selection of one or
more model portfolios, the selection of individual securities, or a combination of model portfolios and individual
securities by the Advisory Persons.
Clients must inform us in writing of the investment objectives of the account(s) and of any changes or modifications
therein as well as any specific investment restrictions, guidelines or limitations which are included in a trust, plan or
similar document or are imposed by law or regulations. We and any Independent Managers will rely on: (a) information
the Client has provided; (b) any restrictions on the management of the account(s) imposed by the Client; and (c) any
written investment policies or guidelines provided by the Client. Any of these may cause us and/or any Independent
Page 5 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
Managers to make investment decisions or recommendations it otherwise would not make in managing or advising the
account(s).
You may dedicate certain cash/cash equivalents or securities in your account to be held as non-managed assets
(“Non- Managed Assets”). Any Non-Managed Assets held in your account will not be part of the investment advisory
services for purposes of calculating your Advisor Management Fee, and TAN and your Advisory Person will not
provide investment advice or other related investment management services on these assets.
D. Other Investment Advisory Services
We also offer wrap fee investment advisory services on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. Clients in the wrap
fee program receive ongoing investment advice, brokerage and related services—including performance, custody and
transaction reporting for a single asset-based fee. Depending on the level of trading required for the Client’s account(s)
in a particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total fees than if the Client paid his or her own transaction fees.
Review the Wrap Fee Program Brochure for a full description of the respective investment management services.
In addition, TAN offers Financial Planning and Consulting Services and Retirement Plan Advisory Service to clients. The
financial planning and consulting services may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to
investment planning, retirement planning, estate planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and
other areas of a client’s financial situation. The Retirement Plan Advisory Service is offered to retirement plans pursuant to
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and includes both fiduciary and non-fiduciary services to the sponsor
of the Plan and the participants of the Plan. This service is provided on a non-discretionary basis.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, TAN had $6,599,447,152 in discretionary assets and $48,859,327 in nondiscretionary assets.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for our non-wrap account services.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Advisory Services
You will pay an investment management fee (“Advisor Management Fee”) quarterly in advance of each calendar
quarter pursuant to the terms of the Investment Management Agreement. In certain instances, the billing start date may
be delayed based on our discretion.
The annual rate for your Advisor Management Fee for investment advisory services under this Disclosure Brochure will
not exceed 2% of your assets under management and is based on several factors, including, but not limited to the:
services offered to the Client,
•
complexity of services to be provided to the Client, and/or
•
level of Client assets managed by us.
•
Therefore, the Advisor Management Fees vary among Clients and is negotiable.
Further, Clients participating in the TAN Wrap Fee Program may be charged a higher overall fee. Please see the Wrap
Fee Program Brochure for more information.
The quarterly Advisor Management Fee is based on either a fixed percentage fee, linear breakpoint fee, tiered
incremental fee, or flat dollar fee:
• Fixed Rate: a fixed percentage rate that does not change as the assets under management (“AUM”) in your
account or household accounts change.
• Tiered Breakpoint: a blended fixed rate that applies a different rate for each level of AUM based on a
breakpoint schedule.
• Linear Breakpoint: a fixed rate of the total AUM of your account or household accounts based on a breakpoint
schedule.
• Flat Dollar: a flat dollar annual fee that may exceed the annual fee percentage above. This fee schedule is
no longer offered as a billing option for new purchases.
Clients that expect their accounts to grow over time or expect to add additional assets under management with us
may pay more fees under a fixed percentage fee or tiered incremental fee schedule than under a linear breakpoint fee
schedule above the first fee breakpoint. Advisory Persons have a conflict of interest in choosing a fixed percentage
fee or tiered incremental fee schedule over a linear breakpoint fee schedule. We conduct supervisory reviews and
Page 6 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
require Advisory Persons to charge reasonable fees that are in line with industry standards for investment advisory
services provided to Clients.
The Advisor Management Fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of your account(s) to the
end of the first quarter. The Advisor Management Fee will take into consideration the aggregate assets under
management with us, including cash and cash equivalents, and all securities held in accounts managed by us will be
independently valued by the designated broker-dealer/custodian (herein the “Custodian(s)”). We will not have the
authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities in your account.
You may make deposits to and withdrawals from your account(s) at any time, subject to our right to terminate an
account. Deposits may be in cash or securities provided that we reserve the right to liquidate any transferred securities
or decline to accept particular securities into your account(s). You may withdraw account assets on notice to us, subject
to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. Refer to the Investment Management Agreement for
further information about deposits and withdrawals in the account. Advisory Persons design portfolios as long-term
investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. Advisory
Persons may consult with you about the options and ramifications of transferring securities. However, you are advised
that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual
fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales charge), and/or tax ramifications.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client account(s) implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include our Advisor
Management Fee (as noted above) plus advisory fees and/or platform fees charged by the Independent Manager(s),
depending on the Independent Manager selected and as applicable.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Advisory Services
Clients provide written authorization permitting Advisor Management Fees to be deducted by the Custodian at the
direction of TAN to be paid directly from their account(s) held by the Custodian as part of the Investment Management
Agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. The Advisor Management Fee will be calculated
by us and deducted from your account(s) by the Custodian. We will send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the
amount of the fees to be deducted from your account(s) at the respective quarter-end date. Other than flat dollar fees,
the amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by calendar days in a quarter) to your
total assets under management with us at the end of the prior quarter, including any month-end accruals of dividends
and interests. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of
the Advisor Management Fee. It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s
brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility.
Unless otherwise instructed, account values (excluding non-managed assets) of households will be combined to
determine the applicable Advisor Management Fees (“Household Billing”). For example, account values may be
combined for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse or domestic partner, and other types of
related accounts. Advisory Persons are primarily responsible for identifying which accounts should be householded
together, but ultimately you will decide. In certain circumstances, we may permit accounts falling outside of the criteria
listed above for Household Billing. Household Billing will increase the asset total, which may result in you paying a
reduced Advisor Management Fee based on our fee schedule shown on Schedule A (Fee Schedule) of the Investment
Management Agreement. TAN and its Advisory Persons may receive a financial benefit should you qualify for a
reduced Advisor Management Fee through Household Billing but opt out of it. However, a negotiated Advisor
Management Fee for an account not included in Household Billing may be lower than the Advisor Management Fee
through Household Billing. In the event that an account(s) includes one or more ERISA Plan Sponsor accounts, we will
include the ERISA Plan Sponsor account(s) with any other account(s) for Household Billing in accordance with the
Investment Management Agreement.
For fee-based annuities, Client may authorize the Fee-Based Annuity Sponsor through their separate fee payment
authorization form to calculate, deduct and pay the Advisor Management Fee to the Advisor. Subject to each Fee-
Based Annuity Sponsors’ policies, Advisor Management Fees for the fee-based annuity will not exceed an amount
equal to an annual rate of 1.5% when the fee is deducted directly from the fee-based annuity. The calculation that the
Advisory Management Fee will be based on will be described in the Fee-Based Annuity Sponsor’s authorization form or
a separate disclosure provided to the Client.
For fee-based 529 accounts, Client, through the Client Agreement, will authorize TAN to calculate, deduct and pay the
Advisor Management Fee from a managed account. Subject to each fee-based 529 sponsor or transfer agent's
policies, Advisor Management Fees for the fee-based 529 will not exceed an amount equal to an annual rate of
1.00%.
Page 7 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
Use of Independent Managers
Client account(s) implemented through Independent Manager(s) will be billed in accordance with the separate
agreement(s) with the respective parties.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
You may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on behalf of your
account(s). In addition, all fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the
funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible
distribution fee. In connection with the investment advisory services provided by us, you will incur other costs
assessed by the Custodian or other third parties, other than the Advisor Management Fee noted above, such as fees
for transactions executed away from the chosen Custodian, dealer mark-ups and spreads paid to market- makers.
TAN’s Advisor Management Fee also does not cover debit balances or related margin interest, “mark-ups” and “mark-
downs” or “dealer spreads” that broker-dealers (including their broker-dealer affiliates) may receive when acting as
principal in certain transactions, applicable brokerage commissions for certain securities (for example: foreign stock
settlements, thinly traded or non- traded securities, etc.) or other charges resulting from transactions not executed
through the chosen Custodian. TAN’s Advisor Management Fee also does not cover costs associated with
exchanging foreign currencies, odd-lot differentials, IRA fees, transfer taxes, exchange fees, wire transfer fees,
extensions, non-sufficient funds, mailgrams, legal transfers, bank wire charges, postage fees, Securities and
Exchange Commission fees, or other fees or taxes required by law. Advisory Persons may cover certain custodial
fees assessed to you by the Custodian. This creates a conflict of interest, as fees could be absorbed for some clients
and not others. We manage this conflict by training our Advisory Persons on their fiduciary duty to act in the best
interest of their clients as well as reviewing such activity on a regular basis. TAN’s Advisor Management Fee does not
cover charges imposed by third parties for investments held in the account, such as contingent deferred sales
charges, early redemption fees or 12(b)-1 fees on mutual funds, fee-based annuity contracts and fee-based 529
accounts.
Fee-Based Annuity Sponsors generally impose internal fees and expenses on Contracts, including contingent
deferred sales charges, surrender charges, mortality and expense risk charges, and administrative fees. You may
also incur charges for special features and riders, such as stepped-up death benefits, guaranteed minimum
income/withdrawal benefits, long-term health insurance or principal protection. These fees and expenses are in
addition to TAN’s Advisor Management Fee and the expenses referenced above. Review the Contract prospectus for
complete details of such internal fees and expenses.
In addition, each mutual fund or Independent Manager charges asset management and service fees, which are in
addition to the TAN Advisor Management Fee. You could invest in these products directly, without the services of
TAN but would not receive the services provided by us, which are designed, among other things, to assist you in
determining which products or services are most appropriate for your financial situation and objectives.
Accordingly, you should review the fees charged by the underlying investments, Custodians and the fees charged by
us to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Fees paid to Independent Managers are not shared with us.
Review Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for information about our brokerage practices.
Alternative Investments
When using alternative investments within your portfolio you will pay ongoing fees and charges to the investment
manager and/or non-affiliated third-party technology platform. These fees and charges are typically a percentage of
your investment value and are either deducted from your Account or investment gains, if any. Examples of ongoing
management fees or charges include, but are not limited to:
• Management fees
• Asset-based fees
• Servicing or distribution fees
• Carried interest, incentive, or performance fees
You will pay certain fees charged by the investment manager and/or the non-affiliated third-party technology partner
related to operating expenses. These operating costs may include but are not limited to:
• Brokerage fees
• Technology fees
• Trustee fees
• Trading fees
• Operating fees
• Administrative fees
If you liquidate an investment early, it may be subject to a redemption fee. The availability of early liquidations may
Page 8 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
not be possible, and the application of a redemption fee will vary between investments. Alternative investments that
are not included in your Custodian's Alternative Investment Network may incur fees from the Custodian such as
transaction or custody fees. Those fees would be deducted from your Account and are included in the respective
custodian’s Account Fees disclosure document. You will not pay up-front charges such as a sales load, subscription
or placement fee when purchasing an alternative investment within your portfolio. However, if you intend to hold an
alternative investment for an extended period it may be more economical to make the purchase outside of your
portfolio. It is important for you to work with your Advisory Person to evaluate how a particular alternative investment
and its features fit your individual needs and objectives, and is in your best interest. It is important to note that the
fees and expenses related to alternative investments are often higher than those of more traditional investments.
Carefully read the offering documents and/or prospectus prior to making a purchase decision. Some of the
alternative investment offerings are limited to qualified or accredited investors. The limitations vary based on the
specific alternative investment. It is solely your decision to implement any recommendations by your Advisory
Person.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Advisory Services
TAN is compensated for its investment advisory services in advance of the quarter in which services are rendered.
Either party may request to terminate the Investment Management Agreement with us, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. You may also terminate the Investment Management Agreement within five
(5) business days of signing the Investment Management Agreement at no cost to you. After the five-day period, you
will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and
payable by you up to and including the effective date of termination. Upon termination, we will promptly refund any
unearned, prepaid advisory fees. Your Investment Management Agreement with us is non-transferable without your
prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers
Clients who wish to terminate the use of an Independent Manager must notify their Advisory Person of such request and
complete a new Investment Management Agreement. If a client terminates the use of an Independent Manager prior
to the quarter in which services are rendered and is entitled to a refund, the Independent Manager will use its standard
method of calculating client fees to determine the prorated amount of refund to the client.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
TAN does not buy or sell securities to generate securities commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the Advisor Management Fees noted above. Certain Advisory
Persons are registered representatives of Thrivent Investment Management Inc. (“TIMI”). As a registered
representative of TIMI, the Advisory Person will implement securities transactions under TIMI and not through TAN. In
such instances, the Advisory Person will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase
and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by
the Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered representative is separate and in addition to the fees earned for
the investment advisory services described in this Disclosure Brochure. This practice presents a conflict of interest
because the Advisory Person who is a registered representative has an incentive to effect securities transactions for
the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client’s need. Clients are not obligated to
implement any recommendation provided by TAN nor Advisory Persons. Neither TAN nor Advisory Persons will earn
ongoing Advisor Management Fees when you purchase or sell a product or service recommended by the Advisory
Person in their separate capacity as a registered representative of TIMI. Review Item 10—Other Financial Industry
Activities and Affiliations for detailed information regarding activities and conflicts associated with our affiliates.
In addition, certain Advisory Persons are licensed as independent insurance professionals. In their capacity as
licensed insurance professionals, Advisory Persons will earn commission-based compensation for implementing
insurance products on behalf of Clients, which may include insurance products offered by our affiliates. Insurance
commissions earned by an Advisory Person are separate and in addition to TAN’s investment advisory fees. This
presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory Person has an incentive to recommend insurance products for the
purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on Client needs. Further, affiliates of TAN will also earn
revenue if insurance products offered by one of TAN’s affiliates are implemented. Clients are under no obligation,
contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with TAN or otherwise.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
TAN does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services.
Page 9 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
TAN offers investment advisory services to individuals, high-net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, businesses,
and retirement plans. TAN does not impose a minimum account size for the services described in this Disclosure
Brochure; however, depending on the Advisory Person that you work with, certain investment strategies and
Independent Managers will require a minimum size to effectively implement the investment mandate.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
Advisory Persons may use a variety of methods and resources to construct a recommended asset allocation. The
resources utilized may include research and/or model management services that Advisory Persons obtained through
an agreement with a third-party provider. TAN does not directly contract with unaffiliated third-party research and
model management providers for this purpose. Advisory Persons are expected to conduct due diligence of these
providers and for all recommendations made to Clients, including model portfolios. Clients should ask their Advisory
Person(s) about any third-party providers used to help provide investment recommendations for Clients. Review a
copy of the provider’s disclosure brochure (Part 2A of Form ADV). The Part 2A of Form ADV brochure is a required
document only for registered investment advisers; therefore, not all providers may have a disclosure brochure.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should
be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Advisory Persons will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their risk tolerance and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will
meet their investment goals.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, risk
tolerance and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in
this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's
account(s). We shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the
duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the
Client to inform us of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing a Client’s account(s).
Advisory Persons will work with each Client to determine their risk tolerance as part of the investment advisory services
and portfolio construction processes. Following are some of the risks associated with our investment approach:
Market Risks – The value of a your holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets,
as well as economic, political or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the
overall financial markets.
ETF Risks – The performance of ETFs are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a
trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a
large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Bond ETFs – Bond ETFs are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e., the risk that
bond prices will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa; the risk depends on two things, the bond’s time to maturity, and
the coupon rate of the bond; (2) reinvestment risk, i.e., the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate
than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e., the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that
exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e., the risk
associated with purchasing a debt instrument, which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment
obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e., the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating
which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt, and (6) liquidity risks, i.e., the risk that
a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks – The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal.
The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price
of a mutual fund is typically set daily; therefore, a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the
same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Page 10 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
Options Contracts – Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time.
Option contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an
underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Margin Borrowings – The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to you. For
example, if the securities you pledged to brokers to secure your margin account(s) declines in value, you could be
subject to a “margin call,” in which you must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be subject to mandatory
liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.
Complex Investments – The performance of complex investments can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An
investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and
investments that generally carry higher risks.
Fee-Based Annuity Risks – The primary risks in variable annuities are the risks that the strength of the Issuer of the
contract declines. Other risks include limited investment options and the ability to manage the Funds in connection
with certain riders purchased with an annuity. Additionally, the decision to liquidate a Contract prior to its maturity date
may result in surrender charges and a complete loss of certain benefits for which significant fees may have previously
been paid to the Issuer. Review individual Contract prospectuses for the availability of Funds, which contains complete
information on the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the portfolio, which investors should read
and consider before investing.
Fee-Based 529 Risks – Investing in 529 plans carries several risks that clients should understand. These include
market risk, where the value of investments can fluctuate due to economic or financial conditions; interest rate risk,
which can affect fixed-income holdings; and liquidity and tax risks, especially if withdrawals are not used for qualified
education expenses, potentially triggering penalties and taxes. Additionally, each plan may have unique limitations or
fees, and the performance of underlying investments depends on the fund managers’ decisions. While 529 plans
offer tax advantages and long-term growth potential, clients should be prepared for the possibility of loss and carefully
consider whether the plan aligns with their financial goals and risk tolerance.
Fixed Income – The yield of fixed income investments takes into account a sales concession in order to compensate the
brokerage firms that sell the investments. TAN does not receive the sales concession; however, for certain advisory
accounts, the underwriter retains the sales concession. The sales concession impacts the overall yield paid to you. Since
we charge you an Advisor Management Fee on all billable assets under management with us, you are effectively charged
both the sales concession and the Advisor Management Fee on the fixed income. These charges reduce the overall
yield on the fixed income and, in some cases, results in a negative yield. You should be aware that you could obtain the
same fixed income investments without being subject to the Advisor Management Fee if you purchase it in a retail
brokerage account.
Cash and Cash equivalents – You should understand that, depending on interest rates and other market factors, the
yield that you earn on cash, including cash sweep deposits, CDs and money market funds in your account may be lower
than the aggregate Advisor Management Fee you pay on cash assets and cash equivalents held in your account. As a
result, depending on the interest rate environment, you may experience a negative overall investment return, and in
some instances, the effective return on a cash sweep may be negative.
Alternative Investments - Prospective investors should be aware that alternative investments are speculative in nature,
involve a high degree of risk, can be highly illiquid, and may not be appropriate for all investors. Alternative Investments
often use leverage and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss; may be
subject to performance volatility; may not be required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors; are
not always required to provide pricing or valuation information to investors; may involve complex tax structures and
delays in distributing important tax information; are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds; in
many cases the underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the manager; may be more
concentrated than other investments; and often charge high fees. Certain alternative investments are offered as private
placements, others are offered by prospectus. Alternative investments can be highly illiquid with lock-up periods from
several years to a decade or more. No secondary trading market is available for alternative investments and non-traded
securities. Discuss with your Advisory Person if a lower risk, less costly alternate investment vehicle is available that has
similar features and/or could result in similar rewards.
IMPORTANT: There is no assurance that the objectives of the alternative investment will be met. At the absolute
discretion of the issuer of the security, there may be certain repurchase offers made from time to time. However, there
is no guarantee that a client will be able to redeem the security during the repurchase offer. Issuers may repurchase
shares at a price below net asset value. A portion of any redemption proceeds may also be withheld to account for
potential future adjustments to the valuation of the security. Repurchase programs may also be suspended or delayed
under certain circumstances or disallow redemptions entirely. Some issuers or general partners may penalize limited
partners who redeem before holding units for a specified amount of time.
Page 11 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
Alternative investments have unique risks that vary between, among other things, the type of investment. There is no
guarantee that an alternative investment will implement its investment strategy and/or achieve its objectives, generate
profits, or avoid loss. An investment should only be considered by sophisticated investors who meet the minimum
requirements and can afford to lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Before investing, carefully review and
understand the offering documents for these investments.
Advisory Persons are able to recommend specific categories of alternative investments. Below are examples of certain
unique risks that apply to these categories which you should understand before investing:
• Hedge funds. Hedge funds pool money from multiple individual investors together to invest. Hedge funds
typically use strategies that are not often used by mutual funds (e.g., leverage, shortselling, and other
speculative investment practices). Hedge funds are not subject to some of the regulations that are designed to
protect investors and may not be required to register or file public reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. However, they are subject to the antifraud provisions of federal securities laws. Use of leverage
will magnify both the potential gain and loss from an investment and could turn an otherwise conservative
investment into an extremely risky investment. Hedge funds may also have authority to suspend redemptions
under certain circumstances, including in times of market distress or when their investments are not able to be
quickly or easily liquidated.
• Private equity funds. Similar to a hedge fund, private equity funds pool money from multiple individual investors
together to invest. However, private equity funds typically consider investment opportunities that have an
investment time horizon of 10 or more years. Private equity funds are not registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Before investing in private equity funds, you should consider your ability to wait the
requisite period before realizing a return.
• Private credit funds. Private credit funds pool money from multiple individual investors together to typically fund
private middle-market firms. Private credit typically involves the bilateral negotiation of terms and conditions to
meet the specific needs and objectives of the individual borrower and lender, without the need to comply with
traditional regulatory requirements. Resulting contracts can include features uncommon to traditional bank
loans, such as a structured equity component, high prepayment penalties, or a role in oversight or management
of the company. Investing in private credit funds exposes you to unique risks that you should consider before
investing. For example, there is a risk that the company receiving the funds may default due to, among other
things, rising interest rates or becoming overleveraged. Keep in mind that despite seniority in debt structure,
private credit loans have a relatively low recovery rate upon default compared to other investments (e.g., high
yield bonds).
• Real assets. Real assets, including those unlisted or non-traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that
have been qualified under the U.S. tax code as a REIT and are available in the Program, are passthrough
entities that offer investors an equity interest in a pool of assets. These are not a direct investment into the
underlying asset. Investing in real assets exposes you to unique risks based on the underlying assets. For
example, investments in real estate are subject to such risks as rising sea levels, natural disasters and extreme
weather events whereas investments in timber are subject to weather-based events (e.g., droughts, floods, etc.)
or infestation of invasive species. Initial distributions, if any, may represent earnings or offering proceeds, which
in turn could reduce the value of the shares and/or cash available to purchase assets. To receive a return of
capital when investing in real asset, you may need to wait until a liquidity event occurs. The timing of these
events is at the discretion of the sponsor, is not guaranteed, and may be changed at the sponsor’s discretion.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
We do not currently have legal or disciplinary events that are material to our advisory business or management persons.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Advisory Persons may have their own legal business entities whose business names and logos may appear on
marketing materials as approved by TAN, or client statements approved by the Custodian. The businesses are legal
entities of the Advisory Persons and not of TAN, nor the Custodian. Business entities may provide services other than
the investment advisory services offered by Thrivent Advisor Network through your Advisory Person under this Disclosure
Brochure, as disclosed herein and in your Advisory Person’s Form ADV 2B (“Brochure Supplement”).
Insurance Company
TAN is a licensed insurance agency, and as such, offers insurance products on a commission basis. Advisory Persons
who are licensed insurance producers will generally introduce Clients to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance agencies to
manage the insurance process. Advisory Persons receive a portion of the fixed insurance commission earned by these
affiliated and unaffiliated insurance agencies, which presents a conflict of interest because Advisory Persons have an
incentive to recommend insurance products to you based on commissions to be received, rather than based on your
particular need. In addition, TAN earns revenue from certain unaffiliated insurance agencies when Clients purchase
unaffiliated fixed insurance products offered by Advisory Persons. The revenue is not shared with Advisory Persons;
Page 12 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
however, this may cause Advisory Persons to recommend one insurance product over another in their separate
capacities as independent insurance agents. Insurance agencies perform suitability reviews of insurance product
purchases. Further, you are not under any obligation to purchase any insurance products from us, or such introduced
insurance agency.
Affiliates of TAN
We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial Holdings, Inc., which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. Thrivent Financial Holdings, Inc. also has other subsidiaries that engage in activities
that may be material to you.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent Financial”) is a registered investment adviser providing investment
management services to Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. and Thrivent Cash Management Trust and responsible for fund
administration for these entities. Thrivent Financial is also a fraternal benefit society that issues Thrivent Financial life
insurance, variable annuity, fixed indexed annuity and fixed-rate annuity contracts. Thrivent Financial markets life,
health and disability insurance to Christians in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. It is more profitable for
us to sell products issued by Thrivent Financial and its affiliates than those issued by other companies. As a result, we
have a financial incentive to recommend them over other companies’ products. In addition, we may share supervised
persons and management persons with Thrivent Financial and its affiliates.
Information about these affiliates and how we work together to offer Clients financial products and services is provided
below.
Thrivent Investment Management Inc. (“TIMI”) is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial. TIMI is
registered as an investment adviser and broker-dealer with the SEC and is a member of FINRA/SIPC. In TIMI’s
capacity as an investment adviser, it offers Dedicated Planning Services and a Managed Accounts Program to its
clients. In its capacity as broker-dealer, it actively markets mutual fund shares, variable insurance contracts and
general securities to its clients through its registered representatives. TIMI also serves as the principal underwriter and
distributor of variable annuities and insurance products issued by Thrivent Financial. Advisory Persons of TAN, in their
capacity as Registered Representatives of TIMI, may, but are not obligated to utilize the Thrivent Financial variable
annuities and variable life insurance products or services offered by TIMI. As a registered representative of TIMI, the
Advisory Person will typically receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable
transactions. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations provided by the Advisory Person.
Thrivent Distributors, LLC is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial and is a registered broker-dealer
serving as the principal underwriter and distributor for Thrivent Mutual Funds.
Thrivent Asset Management, LLC is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial and the registered
investment adviser providing portfolio management and fund administration services to Thrivent Mutual Funds and
Thrivent Core Funds. Thrivent Mutual Funds and Thrivent ETFs are distributed by TIMI and Thrivent Distributors, LLC.
Client portfolio assets may include one or more Thrivent Mutual Funds and/or Thrivent ETFs. When Clients invest in
Thrivent Mutual Funds and/or Thrivent ETFs, Thrivent Asset Management receives fees (including revenue sharing) for
serving as the Investment Manager for the mutual funds and Thrivent ETFs and for providing administrative and
accounting services to the funds pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement. A conflict of interest exists when
Advisory Persons recommend or elect to purchase a Thrivent Mutual Fund and/or Thrivent ETFs in Client portfolios.
We mitigate this conflict by training our Advisory Persons on their responsibilities as a fiduciary and the duty of care
owed to Clients under the Advisers Act. Further, we do not receive 12b-1 fees.
Thrivent Trust Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial and serves as a federal savings bank
offering professional fiduciary and discretionary investment management services. Thrivent Trust Company pays
Advisory Persons a fee for referring Clients to the Trust Company for its professional personal trust, estate and
investment management services. If the Advisory Person provides investment management services to Thrivent Trust
Company for the referred client, the Advisory Person will not receive a referral fee in addition to the investment
management fee.
Newman Financial Services LLC – This entity is a commonly controlled insurance company offering long-term care
insurance.
Thrivent Bank is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and serves as an FDIC-
insured, Utah industrial bank offering deposits, loans and other banking services.
Other Business Arrangements
Tax and Accounting Services – Separate and distinct from TAN’s investment advisory services, certain Supervised
Persons of TAN may provide tax and accounting services to you. You are not obligated to utilize these services offered
by our Supervised Persons. Neither TAN nor its affiliates provide legal advice. We urge you to consult with your tax
Page 13 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
professional, legal advisor or accountant, as applicable, for such advice and questions.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
Our Code of Ethics (the “Code”) defines our commitment to you, as our Client. This Code applies to all persons
associated with us (“Supervised Persons”), and it provides general ethical guidelines and specific instructions
regarding our duties to our Clients. We and our Advisory Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith to you.
Supervised Persons are obligated to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general
principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of
interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact us at 612-844-8444 or
compliance@thriventadvisornetwork.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
Supervised Persons are allowed to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased
on behalf of you, we do not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, we do not act as the general partner of a
fund or advise an investment company.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
Supervised Persons are allowed to purchase or sell the same securities within their personal accounts that may be
recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. A conflict of interest arises when Supervised Persons trade in
their personal accounts while trading in the same securities as their Clients and the Supervised Person’s personal
trades are made with more advantageous terms than their Client trades, or the Supervised Person’s personal trades
are based on material non-public information. We mitigate this conflict by enforcing our written policies and procedures
on insider trading (material non-public information controls) and personal securities reporting. Our written policies and
procedures are intended to detect the misuse of material non-public information and require all of our employees and
Supervised Persons to report personal securities trades for review by our Compliance Department. In addition,
Supervised Persons have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of their Clients.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
Supervised Persons are allowed to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on
behalf of Clients at or about the same time, which presents a conflict of interest. We mitigate this conflict by aggregating
personal orders with Client orders or personal orders are traded after Client orders where appropriate.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian(s)
We do not have discretionary authority to select the Custodian for custody and execution services. You will engage the
Custodian to safeguard your assets and authorize us to direct trades to this Custodian as agreed in the Investment
Management Agreement. Further, we do not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of
you on a trade-by-trade basis.
We may recommend the Custodian(s) to Clients for custody and execution services based on criteria such as, but not
limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its overall
reputation. We will generally recommend that Clients establish their account(s) at Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions
and other divisions of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (“Fidelity”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, “qualified custodian”
and member of SIPC or Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA- registered broker- dealer, member SIPC.
We recommend Custodian(s) based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to
the Client, services made available to the Client, and the overall reputation of the Custodian. We are not affiliated with
either Fidelity or Schwab; however, we maintain institutional relationships with Fidelity and Schwab whereby we
receive economic benefits.
Following are additional details regarding our brokerage practices:
1. Soft Dollars – We do not receive research or other product services sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer.
However, we do receive certain economic benefits from Fidelity and Schwab. Please see Item 14 below – Client
Referrals and Other Compensation.
2. Brokerage for Client Referrals – We do not receive any compensation for client referrals from any third party in
connection with the recommendation for establishing a brokerage account.
3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where we will place trades within
the established account(s) at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within
their respective brokerage account(s). We will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security
from or to our own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one
Page 14 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
Client account from another Client’s account(s)). In selecting the Custodian, we are not obligated to select
competitive bids on securities transactions and do not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction
costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian. Not all investment advisers require their clients to direct
brokerage.
4. Trade Errors – We will seek to correct any trade errors that occur in your account(s). A trade error correction may
result in a gain or loss. You will not be charged for losses associated with trade errors caused by us or our Advisory
Persons. You will not receive any net gains.
• For accounts established with Fidelity, errors resulting in net gains will be donated to a charity
chosen by TAN. If a charity is not provided, Fidelity will donate any net gains to its default charity in
the name of TAN.
• For accounts established with Schwab, errors resulting in net gains are retained by Schwab.
Schwab will donate any gains of $500 or more to the Charles Schwab Foundation.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most
favorable net results taking into account factors such as: (1) price, (2) size of the order, (3) difficulty of execution, and
(4) skill required of the broker. We will execute transactions through an unaffiliated broker-dealer selected by you. We
may aggregate orders in a block trade, or trades, when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for
multiple accounts. Orders are aggregated by an Advisory Person or groups of Advisory Persons by their team name.
This results in price and time variations across groups of aggregated orders or block trades. If a block trade cannot be
executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day, a
pro-rata allocation will be pursued in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement.
This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Client’s accounts. For
nondiscretionary accounts, your Advisory Person must provide you with recommendations and may only aggregate
orders in a block trade with your prior authorization, that same day.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in your accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons and periodically by
the Compliance Department. Formal reviews by your Advisory Persons are generally conducted at least annually.
Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at your request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major
changes in economic conditions, known changes in your financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in your
accounts.
B. Causes for Reviews
You are encouraged to notify us if changes occur in your personal financial situation that might adversely affect your
investment strategy. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
You will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are
sent directly from the Custodian to you. You may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s website to review
your brokerage statements and account activity. Brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees
related to your accounts. We may also provide you with periodic reports regarding your account holdings, allocations
and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by TAN
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Fidelity)
We have established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist us in managing Client account(s). Access to the
Fidelity platform is provided at no charge to us. We receive economic benefits from Fidelity, such as recruiting and
training support services for Advisory Persons, expense reimbursement, software, and related support, without cost, as
we render investment advisory services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. This support creates an incentive for
us to select or recommend Fidelity based on our receipt of such support in conducting its advisory services, rather than
on Clients’ interest in receiving the most favorable execution. In fulfilling our duties to you, we endeavor at all times to
put your interests first. You should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates
a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence our recommendation of this Custodian over one that does not
provide such economic benefits.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform (Schwab)
We may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab Advisor Services division of Schwab to
Page 15 of 21 – Only valid with all pages.
maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. The final decision to custody assets with
Schwab is at the discretion of TAN’s Clients, including those accounts under ERISA or IRA rules and regulations, in
which case the Client is acting as either the plan sponsor or IRA account owner. We are not affiliated with Schwab.
Schwab provides us with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to
Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited
basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the adviser’s clients’ assets are maintained in
accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services include brokerage services that are related to the execution
of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to
mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would
require a significantly higher minimum initial investment.
For TAN Client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services
but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transaction-related or asset-based fees for
securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts.
Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not benefit our Clients’
accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or TAN-specific educational events organized and/or
sponsored by Schwab. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of TAN by
Schwab personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of
entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist
us in managing and administering Clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related
technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account
statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide
research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of TAN’s fees from its Clients’ accounts, and
assist with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services
generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of TAN’s accounts, including accounts not maintained
at Schwab. Schwab also makes available to us other services intended to help us manage and further develop its
business enterprise. These services may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications
and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance,
employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In addition, Schwab may make
available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to us by independent third parties.
Schwab may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees
of a third party providing these services to us. While, as a fiduciary under the Advisers Act, we endeavor to act in our
Clients’ best interests, our recommendation that Clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in
part on the benefit to us of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements and
not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which creates a conflict
of interest.
Schwab has eliminated commissions for online trades of equities, ETFs and options (subject to $0.65 per contract fee).
This means that, in most cases, when we buy and sell these types of securities, we will not have to pay any
commissions to Schwab. We encourage you to review Schwab’s pricing to compare the total costs of entering into a
wrap fee arrangement versus a non-wrap fee arrangement. If you choose to enter into a wrap fee arrangement, your
total cost to invest could exceed the cost of paying for brokerage and advisory services separately. Contact your
Advisory Person for a copy of Schwab Trade Fees for TAN to see what you would pay for transactions in a non-wrap
account.
Insurance Company
As noted in Item 10, TAN also serves as an insurance agency, where an Advisory Person who is a licensed insurance
producer may recommend to Clients the purchase of certain insurance products. TAN will benefit from any revenue
generated from the sale of recommended fixed insurance products.
B. Client Referrals from Solicitors
We may engage and compensate affiliated (i.e., Thrivent Investment Management Inc.) and unaffiliated third parties
(each a “Solicitor”) for Client referrals in accordance with the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act. We
and/or Advisory Persons may also engage various online directories and referral sources, which are paid either a
percentage of the advisory fee received from the Client, a fixed fee, or non-cash compensation. An example of a non-
cash compensation arrangement would be a mutual understanding of a cross-referral relationship between an
Advisory Person and an unaffiliated third party, such as some other professional service provider. Clients will not pay a
higher fee to us as a result of such payments to a Solicitor or other referral source. The Advisory Person will enter into
an agreement with the Solicitor, which requires that full disclosure of the compensation and other conflicts are
provided to you prior to or at the time of entering into the Investment Management Agreement.

C. Other Compensation
The receipt of compensation (either directly or indirectly) creates a conflict of interest between us and you. We manage
this conflict through our policies and procedures, conducting due diligence reviews of the products and services that can
be recommended, disclosing material conflicts to you and prospective clients and by training our Advisory Persons,
including on the need to act in your best interest.
Advisory Persons may be eligible to receive compensation for referring individuals who become Advisory Persons of TAN.
The compensation paid to the referring Advisory Person is based on the referred individuals becoming Advisory Persons
of TAN and revenue from Advisor Management Fees earned by them.
An Advisory Person who refers prospective clients or Clients to another Advisory Person may share in the fee for the
services provided. These fees may be a single payment or ongoing.
Some Advisory Persons are eligible to receive a cash bonus from their team based on asset growth earned by the
whole team.
Advisory Persons and field personnel may receive additional compensation or other economic benefits; such as, sales
awards (cash and non-cash), recruiting and training support services, expense reimbursement, software, bonuses, non-
cash compensation (e.g., attend sales conferences and other recognition events) for providing products and services,
and/or client retention. Sales volume of specific products and services include those provided in the Advisory Person’s
capacity, as well as its capacity as a TIMI registered representative and/or an insurance agent of TFL, as applicable.
Advisory Persons receive a portion of the fees and charges that Clients pay when they invest their transferred or rolled
over retirement assets (e.g., employer-sponsored 401(k) plan) with TAN. As a result, Advisory Persons have an
incentive to encourage clients to transfer/rollover their retirement assets.
Some Advisory Persons may receive a loan from TAN and/or its affiliates to invest in their team. The loan may provide for
partial or full loan forgiveness if the Advisory Persons and/or their team exceed targeted sales of investment advisory
services and/or other products.
Thrivent Trust Company pays Advisory Persons a fee for referring Clients to the Trust Company for its professional
personal trust, estate and investment management services. If the Advisory Person provides investment management
services to Thrivent Trust Company for the referred Client, the Advisory Person will not receive a referral fee in addition
to the investment management fee.
TAN affiliates and unaffiliated third parties may pay for and sponsor certain conference events hosted by TAN for its
Advisory Persons. Costs include, but are not limited to, room rental, presentation materials, meals,
entertainment/leisure outings and promotional gifts.
Thrivent Charitable Impact & Investing® (“Thrivent Charitable”) allows Advisory Persons an opportunity to provide
investment advisory and management services for donor-advised funds at Thrivent Charitable. Advisory Persons who
are approved to offer these services will receive compensation for such services.
Advisory Persons are eligible to receive additional compensation from Thrivent Charitable through programs that
recognize Advisory Persons for facilitating gifts to Thrivent Charitable. This additional compensation includes public
recognition (e.g., client mailings and marketing materials) and eligibility for a budget to co-host an event with Thrivent
Charitable based on specific thresholds of gifts facilitated during the year and/or over the course of the Advisory
Person's career. This creates an incentive for Advisory Persons to facilitate charitable gifts to Thrivent Charitable rather
than another charity.
Thrivent Charitable partners with TAN and Thrivent Financial in which Thrivent Financial pays your Advisory Persons
for their work in bringing donor gifts to Thrivent Charitable to the extent these donor gifts are invested in a donor-
advised fund available through Thrivent Charitable. This fee does not increase the cost of the product to you. Advisory
Persons who provide investment management services to Thrivent Charitable for the referred client will not receive a
referral fee in addition to the advisory fee. Thrivent Charitable is independent of Thrivent Financial and TAN Advisory
Persons. Thrivent Charitable is not an affiliate of TAN.
TAN will provide marketing opportunities to certain affiliated and unaffiliated strategic partners that provide marketing
allowances and expense reimbursements to TAN. These marketing allowances and expense reimbursements are not
shared with Advisory Persons. This results in a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to use certain strategic
partners over others based on this arrangement.

Item 15 – Custody
We do not accept or maintain custody of any Client accounts, except for the authorized deduction of the Advisor
Management Fee and the limited authority for Client money movement requests as described below.
All Clients must place their assets with a “qualified custodian.” Clients are required to select their own Custodian to
retain their funds and securities and direct TAN to utilize that Custodian for the Client’s security transactions. We
encourage Clients to review brokerage statements provided by the account Custodian. For more information about
Custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Client Money Movements
If the Client authorizes TAN to move money from one of the Client’s account(s) to one or more other accounts of the
Client on an ongoing basis, TAN may be deemed to have custody of those assets.
TAN does not engage in business practices whereby TAN or its Advisory Persons would have actual physical custody
over the Client’s account(s). To mitigate this risk, the Custodian and TAN have adopted safeguards to ensure that the
money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Clients may select discretionary investment advisory services with respect to the assets held in specified accounts.
Discretionary authority provides the power and authority to place trade orders for transactions without first contacting
the Client and obtaining Client permission.
You may inform us in writing of the investment objectives of your account(s) and of any changes or modifications
therein as well as any specific investment restrictions, guidelines or limitations which are included in a trust, plan or
similar document or are imposed by law or regulations. We and any Independent Managers will rely on: (a) information
the Client has provided; (b) any restrictions on the management of the account(s) imposed by the Client; and (c) any
written investment policies or guidelines provided by the Client. Any of these may cause us and/or any Independent
Managers to make investment decisions or recommendations it otherwise would not make in managing or advising the
account(s).
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
We do not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. You will receive proxy statements directly from your
applicable Custodian. We will not be expected or required to take any action other than the rendering of investment-
related advice with respect to lawsuits involving securities presently or formerly held in your account(s), or the issuers
thereof, including actions involving bankruptcy. In the case of class action suits involving issuers held in your
account(s), as required by law or on your behalf, we may provide information about your account(s) to third parties for
purposes of participating in any settlements. The authority to vote on any proxies and any elections relating to mergers,
acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings, and any other events, remains solely with Client.
Item 18 – Financial Information
We do not have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability for us to meet our contractual
obligations to you.
