Investment Objective

Seeks to achieve the maximum current income that is consistent with stability of capital and maintenance of liquidity.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio invests in high-quality, short-term money market instruments, including U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper, bank instruments such as certificates of deposit, U.S. government discount notes and U.S. Treasury Bills.
It focuses on prime commercial paper issued by corporations that the Adviser believes to be financially sound, have strong cash flows and solid capital levels, are leaders in their industry and have experienced management.
It is required to maintain a weighted average maturity of not more than 60 days and a weighted average life of not more than 120 days.

Benefits of Investing in the Thrivent Money Market Portfolio

This Portfolio serves to provide stable diversification to a variable product account, and can be used for implementing dollar cost averaging strategies within the variable products offered by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Special Investment Risks

The principal risk of investing in the Money Market Portfolio is credit risk – that is,the risk that an issuer of a bond held by the Portfolio, or held by an underlying fund in which the Portfolio invests, may no longer be able to pay its debt. To the extent practicable, the Portfolio intends to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio. Investments in the underlying Portfolio are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
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.
