Investment Objective
- To achieve long-term growth of captial.
Investment Strategy
- Invests primarily in a broad array of stocks of large, non-U.S. companies within both developed and emerging markets throughout the world.
- Mercator combines a relative value style with bottom-up stock analysis (an investment approach that de-emphasizes the significance of economic and market cycles), seeking attractive, undervalued securities with solid earnings prospects.
- Principal's investment focus for the Portfolio is international large-cap growth equities. It chooses international large-capitalization companies with improving and sustainable business fundamentals, rising investor expectations and attractive relative valuation.
Benefits of Investing in the Thrivent Partner International Stock Portfolio
- This Portfolio offers the convenience of having two top-shelf international managers who manage to both investment disciplines (growth and value) in one investment option.
Special Investment Risks
- Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuations and greater political, economic and market instability and different accounting standards, as compared with domestic investments.
- These risks are magnified when the fund invests in emerging markets, which may be of relatively small size and less liquid than domestic markets.
- These and other risks are described in the prospectus.
Investment Minimums
- All initial and subsequent investment minimums exist at the contract level. Most subaccounts carry no investment minimums.
- However, a minimum of $1,000 is required if you choose to use the DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) Fixed Account to fund periodic investments to other subaccounts. See the prospectus for additional information.

Investment Management Style Chart Guide
Along
with the description of the investment objective included for each of the
investment options, the style box contains additional information to help
you choose the options that best meet your financial goals, long-term investment
objectives and risk tolerances. The style box helps you to understand how
the portfolio assets are invested to seek the stated investment objective.
Thrivent Investment Management Inc. has determined the placements within
each style box.
Equity and Balanced Category
| For the investment options
in the equity and balanced category, the style box displays two variables.
The first is the size of the companies in which the portfolio invests based
on market capitalization.
L=Large-cap:Those companies generally
included in the S&P 500® Index.
|
The second style box variable is the portfolio's investment style - either
value or growth stock investing. The style is determined by evaluating the
price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios of stocks within the portfolio.
V=Value:Attractively priced companies,
such as those with low price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. |
When taken together, these style boxes offer a broad view of a portfolio's holdings and risk, which may be helpful in deciding which one is right for you. While they illustrate the principal investment style of each portfolio, the portfolio still may invest, to a limited extent, in other types of securities.
