5 ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL MARKET REVIEW December 1, 2017 Economic and Financial Market Review U.S. economic growth surpassed expectations, and the final reading for third quarter s gross domestic product (GDP) was revised upward from the initial estimate of.0% to.2%. 1 The U.S. economy added more jobs than expected and unemployment fell close to its lowest level in 17 years at 4.1%, while the jobless rate in the manufacturing sector slid to an all-time low of 2.6%. Although demand for labor was high and the supply of workers was low, wage growth did not show significant acceleration, with average hourly earnings rising slightly less than 2.5% year-over-year. 2 The price of oil and most other commodities increased for the second quarter in a row with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude ending the year just above $60 per barrel. Due to strength in the economy and job market, the Federal Reserve (Fed) made the widely anticipated move of raising short-term interest rates by 0.25% for the third time this year in mid-december. In their meeting notes, Fed policymakers increased projections for economic growth in 2018, but left their forecast in place for three additional rate hikes next year. The Fed also commenced its balance sheet reduction in October by scaling back its reinvestments into U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities by $10 billion per month an amount that will increase over time. The dollar weakened partly due to stronger growth in Europe and Japan, which are both in earlier stages of economic expansion than the U.S. Equities Review Although October has historically been a highly volatile month for stocks, the quarter began with it being the calmest on record since In fact, volatility was exceptionally muted throughout the year with the VIX (the Volatility Index on the Chicago Board Options Exchange) at its lowest level of the past 10 years. The U.S. equity market continued to post steady gains fueled by strong corporate earnings, surprisingly low inflation and optimism surrounding monetary and fiscal policies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit multiple new highs throughout the quarter, breaking through 2,000 and 24,000 in short order and flirting with the 25,000 mark by year-end. The blue-chip index recorded its ninth straight quarterly gain the longest streak since The bellwether S&P 500 Index also continued to reach new heights, advancing 6.64% during the fourth quarter its strongest quarterly gain since the fourth quarter of 2015 and 21.8% for the year. Every sector in the S&P 500 was in positive territory for the quarter led by consumer discretionary and information technology stocks, while utilities and health care lagged. Growth stocks whose profits are expected to grow at a faster rate than the broader market continued to outperform value stocks as they have done all year. For the quarter, the large-cap growth components of the Russell 1000 Index advanced 7.86%, beating the value segment s return of 5.% by more than 2.5%. The dispersion was much wider over the full year with growth outpacing value in the index by more than 16%. Meanwhile, small-cap stocks fell short of their large-cap cohorts for the quarter and year with the Russell 2000 Index gaining.4% and 14.65%, respectively, over the two periods. Overseas, emerging-market stocks continued to outpace developed markets as they have done all year. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index advanced 7.44% for the quarter, bringing the year-to-date return for the segment to 7.28%. This compares to a 4.2% quarterly and 25.0% yearly return for the developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index. Markets in Japan, China and the U.K. all produced strong results during the quarter. Fixed-Income Review As is typical during monetary policy tightening, the U.S. Treasury yield curve continued to flatten during the quarter. Short-term rates moved higher while long-term rates stayed fairly range-bound, but ended the quarter and year lower than where they started. Rates at the short end of the curve moved higher in response to the Fed s rate increases, while rates at the long end were pressured downward by weak inflation numbers. The difference in yields between five-year and 0-year Treasuries compressed from 110 basis points at the beginning of 2017 to 54 basis points by year-end, reflecting expectations for continuing Fed tightening in Like the equity markets, volatility remained exceptionally low in the fixed-income markets during the quarter and year. The U.S. bond market produced muted returns during the quarter with the broad market proxy the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gaining 0.9%. For the year, the index was up.54%. Investment-grade corporate bonds were solid performers with spreads versus Treasuries continuing to tighten to their narrowest levels so far during this cycle. As measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index, the segment was up 1.17% and 6.42% for the quarter and year, respectively. Emerging-market debt also recorded a strong return of 8.17% for the year in U.S. dollar terms, fueled by investor inflows, low volatility and appetite for risk. 4 1 Bureau of Economic Analysis: Gross Domestic Product Third Quarter 2017 (Dec. 21, 2017). 2 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: The Employment Situation November 2017 (Dec. 8, 2017).

7 MORNINGSTAR RATINGS About Morningstar Ratings The Morningstar Rating for funds, or star rating, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk- Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive five stars. The next 22.5% receive four stars. The next 5% receive three stars. The next 22.5% receive two stars. And the bottom 10% receive one star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 6-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/0% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods Morningstar, Inc.

9 LIPPER RATINGS Information about Lipper Leaders and Ratings 1 For the Lipper Leader rating, funds are ranked against their peers on each of five measures: Total Return, Consistent Return, Preservation, Expense, and Tax Efficiency. Scores are subject to change every month and are calculated for the following periods: -year, 5-year, 10-year, and overall. The overall calculation is based on an equalweighted average of percentile ranks for each measure over -year, 5-year, and 10-year periods (if applicable). For each measure, the highest 20% of funds in each peer group are named Lipper Leaders. The next 20% receive a rating of 4; the middle 20% are rated ; the next 20% are rated 2, and the lowest 20% are rated 1. Ratings do not reflect funds sales charges. Ratings may differ among share classes of a mutual fund as a result of different expense structures. See prospectus for more details. 2 Lipper Leader Measures: Lipper Ratings for Total Return reflect funds historical total return performance relative to peers. Lipper Ratings for Consistent Return reflect funds historical risk-adjusted returns, relative to peers. Lipper Ratings for Tax Efficiency reflect the funds historical success in postponing taxable distributions, relative to peers. Lipper Ratings for Expense reflect the funds expense minimization, relative to peers with similar load structures. Ratings for Total Return, Consistent Return, Tax Efficiency, and Expense are computed for all Lipper classifications with five or more distinct portfolios and span both equity and fixed income funds (e.g., large-cap core, general U.S. Treasury, etc.). Lipper Ratings for Preservation reflect funds historical loss avoidance, relative to other funds within the same asset class. Ratings for Preservation are computed from three broad asset classes equity funds, mixed-asset funds, and bond funds (e.g., equity includes U.S. diversified, sector, and world equity funds). The Adviser has contractually agreed, for as long as the current fee structure is in place, to waive certain investment advisory fees associated with the Fund. Refer to the expense table in the Fund s prospectus. 4 The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least Feb. 28, 2018, to reimburse certain expenses associated with the Fund. Refer to the expense table in the Fund s prospectus for details. The Thrivent Growth and Income Plus, Balanced Income Plus, and Opportunity Income Plus Funds had investment strategy changes effective Aug. 16, 201.

Francis, CFA - Fund Start: 2005; Industry Start: 1978; Mark L. Simenstad, CFA - Fund Start: 2005; Industry Start: 198; Darren M. Bagwell, CFA - Fund Start: 2016; Industry Start: 1991; Stephen D. Lowe, CFA - Fund Start: 2016; Industry Start: 1996 Risks: The Fund invests in other Thrivent Mutual Funds and in directly-held equity and debt instruments. The Fund is subject to its own fees and expenses and the expenses of the other funds in which it invests, and is subject to all of the risks of the other funds in which it invests. The value of the Fund is influenced by factors impacting the overall market, certain asset classes, certain investment styles, and specific issuers. The Fund may incur losses due to incorrect assessments of investments by its investment adviser. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuations, liquidity, political, economic and market instability, and different legal and accounting standards. Bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may not pay its debt, and high yield securities are subject to increased credit risk as well as liquidity risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures and swaps) 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 may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in implementing its principal investment strategies. December 1, 2017 Inception Date Total Net Assets Ticker 6/0/2005 $1.2 billion TAAAX Fund Description The Thrivent Aggressive Allocation Fund is the most aggressive option in Thrivent s suite of Asset Allocation Funds and is designed for investors with the longest time horizon and highest tolerance for risk. Its long-term target allocation is 95% equity securities and 5% fixed income. The Fund is globally diversified across all major equity and fixed income sectors and styles. The Fund is actively managed and invests in a combination of other Thrivent mutual funds and direct investments in stocks, bonds, and derivatives. Investment Strategy/Process The Fund s asset allocation strategy starts with the construction of a model that sets the long-term target allocations for the broad asset classes of equity and fixed income. Next, the target weightings for sub-classes are determined. Equity sub-classes are often based on market capitalization (large, mid, and small), investment style (such as growth and value), economic sector and world region. Fixed income sub-classes may be based on maturity, duration, credit quality and security type. The portfolio management team actively manages the Fund with overweight and underweight positions in the various sub-classes based on their views of the market and economy. Individual stocks and bonds are analyzed and selected on an ongoing basis. The Fund is regularly rebalanced to ensure that the holdings are within appropriate ranges.

The Fund is subject to its own fees and expenses and the expenses of the other funds in which it invests, and is subject to all of the risks of the other funds in which it invests. The value of the Fund is influenced by factors impacting the overall market, certain asset classes, certain investment styles, and specific issuers. The Fund may incur losses due to incorrect assessments of investments by its investment adviser. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuations, liquidity, political, economic and market instability, and different legal and accounting standards. Bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may not pay its debt, and high yield securities are subject to increased credit risk as well as liquidity risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures and swaps) 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 may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in implementing its principal investment strategies.

It has a long-term target allocation of 77% equity securities and 2% fixed income. The Fund is diversified globally across all major equity and fixed income sectors and styles. The Fund is actively managed and invests in a combination of other Thrivent mutual funds and direct investments in stocks, bonds, and derivatives. Investment Strategy/Process The Fund s asset allocation strategy starts with the construction of a model that sets the long-term target allocations for the broad asset classes of equity and fixed income. Next, the target weightings for sub-classes are determined. Equity sub-classes are often based on market capitalization (large, mid, and small), investment style (such as growth and value), economic sector and world region. Fixed income sub-classes may be based on maturity, duration, credit quality and security type. The portfolio management team actively manages the Fund with overweight and underweight positions in the various sub-classes based on their views of the market and economy. Individual stocks and bonds are analyzed and selected on an ongoing basis. The Fund is regularly rebalanced to ensure that the holdings are within appropriate ranges.
