Dear Shareholder:

Economic and Market Review

Stocks and most types of bonds generally posted negative returns during the 12 months ended October 31, 2008. Credit market troubles that started in sub-prime mortgages spread far and wide during the period, culminating in a global liquidity crisis that affected many of the world’s investment markets. This led to major policy adjustments by central bankers around the globe as they attempted to facilitate the availability of credit and liquidity to the markets. Over the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered targeted short-term rates by 3.50% as heightened risks in both the real economy and the financial markets became apparent.

U.S. Economy

The nation’s gross domestic product shrank during part of the reporting period and grew only modestly the remainder of the time, as tight credit, declining housing and investment values, rising unemployment and somber economic news weighed on consumers. GDP growth increased from a -0.2% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2007 to 0.9% in the first quarter, rose to 2.8% in the second quarter, and then declined to -0.3% in the third quarter (the latter figure according to advanced estimate).1

The U.S. housing market malaise continued to curb economic activity. Weak sales, rising inventories, falling prices and much tighter lending standards caused the imbalances in the housing market to worsen over the period. Sales of existing homes nationwide rose just 1.4% to 5.18 million units annually from September 2007 to September 2008. For the same period, the average sale price of an existing home fell 9% to $191,600. Two years earlier, national sales totaled 7.076 million units annually with an average price of $219,600.2

As the economy cooled, job losses began to mount during the period. Employers cut 240,000 jobs in October 2008, following declines of 284,000 in September and 127,000 in August. For the first 10 months of 2008, employment fell by 1.2 million jobs, bringing the unemployment rate to 6.5% in October. That was the highest unemployment rate since March 1994. During the 12-month reporting period, the number of unemployed persons increased by 2.8 million and the unemployment rate rose by 1.7%.3

Inflation & Monetary Policy

Inflation indicators generally eased during the period. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose at a 3.7% annual rate for the 12 months ended October 31, 2008, compared with a 4.1% rate for all of 2007. The index for energy, which rose 17.4% in all of 2007, advanced at an 11.5% annual rate during the 12-month period. Excluding the volatile prices of food and energy, the core CPI advanced at a 2.2% annual rate during the period, compared to a 2.4% increase for all of 2007.

Notably, inflation appeared to abate sharply late in the period as credit market troubles intensified and economic activity slowed. The CPI decreased 1.0% in October 2008–the largest decline on record–following very little change in September and August. The energy index fell 8.6% in October after declining 1.9% in September and 3.1% in August.

After returning to a rate-easing mode in September of 2007, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) cut interest rates repeatedly during the period, with the federal funds target rate dropping from 4.50% on October 31, 2007, to 1.00% on October 29, 2008. At their October 29 meeting, policymakers said they expected inflation to moderate in coming quarters but that downside risks to growth remained.

Equity Performance

Many stock indexes set record highs in early October 2007, just prior to this reporting period. For much of the following year, however, prices pulled back sharply–for some indexes to five-year lows in October 2008–due to worries in the credit, housing, job and consumer markets and the growing potential for a severe recession.

Small-company stocks outperformed large-company issues during the period. The Russell 2000® Index of small-company stocks posted a -34.16% total return, while the S&P 500 Index of large-company stocks recorded a -36.08% return. Value stocks modestly outperformed growth stocks during the period. The Russell 1000® Value Index returned -36.80%, while the Russell 1000® Growth Index posted a return of -37.30%.

Major market foreign stocks underperformed most domestic issues in dollar terms. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index posted a -46.34% total return in dollar terms.

Fixed Income Performance

The worsening credit crisis hurt all areas of the bond market except U.S. Treasury securities during the period. An investor flight to safety pushed U.S. Treasury bond prices up, driving Treasury yields down. Mortgage- and asset-backed bonds, municipals, high-yield bonds, bank loans and corporate bonds all suffered price declines as liquidity drained out of the market. Late in the period, the situation intensified with the failure and subsequent federal takeover or forced sale of a number of large financial institutions. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual, Wachovia, Merrill Lynch and AIG all were casualties of the crisis that overtook the financial industry.

The yield curve steepened during the period as Treasury yields fell especially sharply in shorter maturity lengths. The six-month Treasury yield fell from 4.09% to 0.94%, the five-year yield declined from 4.16% to 2.80%, the 10-year yield fell from 4.48% to 4.01%, and the 30-year Treasury yield declined from 4.74% to 4.35%.

Table of Contents

The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Aggregate Bond Index of the broad U.S. bond market posted a 0.30% total return for the 12-month period, while the Barclays Capital Government/Corporate 1-3 Year Bond Index registered a 4.20% total return. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index posted a -3.30% total return. Below-investment-grade corporate bonds were among the weakest performers, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index registering a -25.81% total return.

Outlook

Economic activity will likely remain sluggish at least until mid-2009. Eventually, the unprecedented amount of government stimulus in the system–in the form of bailouts and other liquidity programs–should begin to spur faster growth. Until then, the Federal Reserve will likely keep short-term interest rates low.

The mortgage crisis that started in 2007 has spread from the consumer through the banking system and is now poised to impact the broader economy. Rising unemployment, very weak consumer spending, and business spending cutbacks are now the primary risks to the economy. The support from exports that U.S. corporations have enjoyed is also now in jeopardy as global growth slows and the U.S. dollar strengthens. Helping to offset these risks somewhat, the U.S. government and governments around the world have initiated financial system rescue plans that may begin to show signs of returning some liquidity to the credit markets.

On a Personal Note

My colleague, Pam Moret, has recently taken on a new role at Thrivent Financial and will no longer serve as the President of Thrivent Mutual Funds. I, along with all of us at Thrivent Mutual Funds, want to thank Pam for her years of dedicated service to our shareholders. Her tenure saw tremendous improvement in investment performance, innovative product design and lower expenses for our shareholders. Her leadership and integrity set a standard for the position. It’s a standard I will work to build upon as I assume the position of President of Thrivent Mutual Funds, in addition to maintaining my current role as Chief Investment Officer of Thrivent Asset Management.

I look forward to using this forum in future publications to share thoughts and insight on the markets and investment strategies, along with updates on your Thrivent Mutual Funds. Until then, thank you for continuing to turn to us for your financial options.

 

Sincerely,

Allocation Fund

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by implementing an asset allocation strategy.

  

The Fund’s performance depends upon how its assets are allocated across broad asset categories and applicable sub-classes within such categories. Some broad asset categories and sub-classes may perform below expectations or below the securities markets generally over short or extended periods. In particular, underperformance in the equity markets would have material adverse effect on the Fund’s total return, given its allocation to equity securities. Therefore, a principal risk of investing in the Fund is heavily dependent upon the performance of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. As a result, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those faced by the underlying funds. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Aggressive Allocation Fund earned a return of -37.44%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Multi Cap Core category, of -38.7%. The Fund’s market benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, earned a total return of -36.08% and 0.30%, respectively.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Stocks fell sharply over the last fiscal year, reflecting profound disruptions in the credit markets that have meaningfully impaired expectations for economic growth not only in the United States but around the world. Credit has become both quite expensive and, in many areas, severely restricted for all but the highest quality borrowers. Governments around the world have stepped in with various programs to take the place of the traditional providers of credit as investors directed capital to only the safest alternatives.

Government and sovereign debt securities provided the best returns, with longer dated bonds appreciating and short-term government rates falling to levels not seen since the last recession. Late in the period, developing economy stock markets fell in concert with significant price breaks in oil and industrial metals. Domestically, small-cap stocks outperformed large-caps, but mid-cap stocks corrected more sharply than both large- and small-cap stocks.

The Fund has meaningful exposure to international stocks, although we were underweighted relative to our long-term target. In addition, we had significant exposure to both small- and mid-capitalization stocks, the benefit of the former being outweighed by the relative returns in the latter. The two most significant factors limiting our returns versus the S&P 500 benchmark were our exposure to international and mid-cap markets. We modestly bested the median Fund in our peer group category.

What is your outlook?

There is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty in both the economic and financial outlook. The programs that have been put in place appear to be making progress in facilitating a more normal lending environment. This would establish the basis for an improving economic environment. Holders of risk capital around the globe continue to be cautious. Additionally, consumers remain hesitant and have reduced purchases as the employment outlook remains tentative. Mitigating some of these concerns is a relatively well balanced corporate sector with moderate inventories and generally good balance sheets. That is not the case universally, with severe constraints in both automobiles and retail, areas that likely will experience significant restructuring pressure.

Table of Contents

Most risk asset classes are priced at extraordinary discounts to normal valuations, some at levels not seen in generations. At some point over the next 12 months, the holders of fresh capital will become dissatisfied with the unusually low returns currently being earned by the safest investment alternatives. Stock markets bottom well in advance of economic recovery. Recent studies have suggested that economic and market dislocations associated with crises in banking systems tend be longer in duration and deeper in magnitude. The data also suggests that broad and deep policy interventions have historically been associated with market inflection points. While not unequivocally in evidence at this point, the weight of the evidence suggests that the worst is likely behind us and sufficient catalysts are in place that would imply improvement for both the markets and the economy in 2009. We are positioning the Fund with that outlook in mind.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund earned a return of -33.99%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Growth category, of -30.84%. The Fund’s market benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, earned a total return of -36.08% and 0.30%, respectively.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Stocks fell sharply over the last fiscal year, reflecting profound disruptions in the credit markets that have meaningfully impaired expectations for economic growth not only in the United States but around the world.

The Fund has meaningful exposure to international stocks, although we were underweighted in this area versus our long-term target. In addition, we had significant exposure to both small- and mid-capitalization stocks, the benefit of the former being outweighed by the relative returns in the latter. The three most significant factors limiting our returns versus those of our peer group were a larger allocation to equity securities, our exposure to international and mid-cap equity markets and our holdings in credit based fixed-income products that did not provide the buffer of a larger allocation to government or sovereign debt. In aggregate, we outperformed the benchmark equity index.

There is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty in both the economic and financial outlook.

As a result, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those faced by the underlying funds. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Moderate Allocation Fund earned a return of -28.06%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Moderate category, of -26.48%. The Fund’s market benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, earned a total return of -36.08% and 0.30%, respectively.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Stocks fell sharply over the last fiscal year, reflecting profound disruptions in the credit markets that have meaningfully impaired expectations for economic growth not only in the United States but around the world. Credit has become both quite expensive and, in many areas, severely restricted for all but the highest quality borrowers. Governments around the world have stepped in with various programs to take the place of the traditional providers of credit as investors directed capital to only the safest alternatives.

Government and sovereign debt securities provided the best returns, with longer dated bonds appreciating and short-term government rates falling to levels not seen since the last recession. Bonds exposed to credit risk have suffered significant price erosion. Late in the period, developing economy stock markets fell in concert with significant price breaks in oil and industrial metals. Domestically, small-cap stocks outperformed large-caps, but mid-cap stocks corrected more sharply than both large- and small-cap stocks.

The Fund had meaningful exposure to international stocks, although we were underweighted in the area versus our long-term target. In addition, we had significant exposure to both small- and mid-capitalization stocks, the benefit of the former being outweighed by the relative returns in the latter. The three most significant factors limiting our returns were a meaningful allocation to equity securities, our exposure to international and mid-cap equity markets and our holdings in credit based fixed-income products that did not provide the buffer of a larger allocation to government or sovereign debt. In aggregate, we outperformed the benchmark equity index.

What is your outlook?

There is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty in both the economic and financial outlook. The programs that have been put in place appear to be making progress in facilitating a more normal lending environment. This would establish the basis for an improving economic environment. Holders of risk capital around the globe continue to be cautious. Additionally, consumers remain hesitant and have reduced purchases as the employment outlook remains tentative. Mitigating some of these concerns is a relatively well balanced corporate sector with moderate inventories and generally good balance sheets. That is not the case universally, with severe constraints in both automobiles and retail.

Most risk asset classes are priced at extraordinary discounts to normal valuations, some at levels not seen in generations. Stock markets bottom well in advance of economic recovery. Recent studies have suggested that economic and market dislocations associated with crises in banking systems tend be longer in duration and deeper in magnitude. The data also suggests that broad and deep policy interventions have historically been associated with market inflection points. While not unequivocally in evidence at this point, the weight of the evidence suggests that the worst is likely behind us and sufficient catalysts are in place that would imply improvement for both the markets and the economy in 2009. We are positioning the Fund with that outlook in mind.

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth while providing reasonable stability of principal by implementing an asset allocation strategy.

  

The Fund’s performance depends upon how its assets are allocated across broad asset categories and applicable sub-classes within such categories. Some broad asset categories and sub-classes may perform below expectations or below the securities markets generally over short or extended periods. In particular, underperformance in the equity markets would have material adverse effect on the Fund’s total return, given its allocation to equity securities. Therefore, a principal risk of investing in the Fund is heavily dependent upon the performance of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. As a result, the Fund is subject to the same risks as those faced by the underlying funds. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Moderately Conservative Allocation Fund earned a return of -20.53%, as compared to the median return for its peer group, the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Conservative category, of -19.12%. The Fund’s market benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, earned a total return of -36.08% and 0.30%, respectively.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Thrivent Technology Fund

 

Darren M. Bagwell, CFA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.

 

The Fund primarily invests in technology-related industries; as a consequence, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility than a fund investing in a broad range of industries. This and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Technology Fund earned a return of -49.79%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Science and Technology category, of -43.74%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the S&P North American Technology Sector Index, earned a total return of -41.46%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The Fund’s disappointing relative performance was almost entirely attributable to its exposure to the alternative energy sector–notably wind and solar. While we believed that the long-term secular growth potential for alternative energy to address global environmental, economic and security concerns posed by oil and fossil fuels was significant, and still do, we underestimated the short-term influence that declining oil prices and delayed government subsidy legislation would have on the group’s performance.

The health care sector was the other, much smaller, contributor to relative underperformance. Poor security selection was the culprit in a group that broadly outperformed the market, despite our emphasis on higher-quality, low-beta companies like biopharmaceutical maker BioMarin and eye-care supplier Alcon. We were absent from the strong-performing large-cap biopharmaceutical companies like Amgen, Gilead and Genzyme, as well.

Alternative energy and health care offset the general outperformance of almost all the other sectors represented in the Fund. Of particular note were the solid performances of our technology hardware holdings like Netezza (storage), FormFactor (semiconductor equipment) and Apple (computers). Software also contributed positively to relative performance, especially application software holdings in Compuware, Adobe and Quest Software.

What is your outlook?

At a macroeconomic level, we expect 2009 to be characterized by continued weak domestic economic growth burdened by further housing market weakness, difficult credit markets and deteriorating consumer spending trends; low and stable interest rates; a stable or stronger dollar; and continued weakening in international demand, including emerging economies. As difficult as current economic conditions remain, especially in technology, we are mindful that the equity markets are at historically low valuation levels even against significantly lowered expectations, and that their recovery can precede economic improvements by 12-18 months.

With respect to technology specifically, we expect global spending to be flat in 2009, compared to 5%-10% growth in the previous two years. We believe there will be moderate declines in developed economies, offsetting positive, but below-trend, growth in emerging economies. This should result in technology spending trends that are healthier than overall corporate profit and capital expenditure trends (which should be decidedly negative), due to the relative importance of technology to the competitive positioning and productivity pursuits that are key in weaker economic environments, as well as the relatively restrained technology spending patterns of corporations since 2001. As a result, we

are de-emphasizing consumer-dependent technology companies in favor of productivity-focused application software companies. Despite difficult credit conditions and the deteriorating expenditure environment, we believe there are value opportunities in areas like semiconductor equipment, where spending has already declined to maintenance levels and many debt-free companies sell near book values comprised of 35%-70% cash. We also retain our strong belief that the risk/reward remains favorable in alternative energy companies, with the heightened support and commitment of the new U.S. administration and probable recovery in oil prices representing the most likely catalysts for the group over the next 12 months.

Thrivent Partner Small Cap Growth Fund

 

LOGO   

Subadvised by Turner Investment Partners, Inc.

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S. small-capitalization companies.

The Fund is exposed to the risks of investing in equity securities of smaller companies, which may include, but are not limited to, lower trading volume and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. Small company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Partner Small Cap Growth Fund earned a return of -41.96%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Small Cap Growth category, of -42.47%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, earned a total return of -37.87%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

As the financial crisis expanded over the last fiscal year, it began to more seriously impair the outlook for the domestic and global economy. As growth stocks tend to have higher levels of expectations embedded in prices, they can be more sensitive as economic and financial variables enter a state of flux. This was a meaningful factor in both the absolute returns of the group versus other sectors of the market and relative returns of the Fund. As our strategy emphasizes strong revenue and earnings growth, prices sometimes can adjust more quickly and harshly in times of heightened uncertainty.

Stock selection in both the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors was the main variable limiting the Fund’s returns versus the benchmark. Both of these groups, particularly in the small-cap growth segment, tend to be more dependent on good economic growth and will adjust more meaningfully as expectations are adjusted. In particular, in the information technology group, holdings in the software and services segments limited our results. In the consumer discretionary segment, the diminished economic outlook had the largest effect on our holdings in the travel and leisure industries, as well as holdings in consumer products companies with products and services most driven by discretionary spending. The industrial sector also experienced a more severe adjustment as expectations for global growth deteriorated late in the period. Many of these companies are suppliers to larger industrial manufacturers, and diminished credit availability caused concern related to future capital spending plans and infrastructure projects.

Mitigating some of the weakness above was a modest cash position, as well as better-than-benchmark results from holdings in the energy group. In particular, Petrohawk Energy and Concho Resources are examples of a few companies that achieved strong results despite the deteriorating fundamental environment. Holdings in tele-communications, utilities and health care provided better-than-benchmark results, but were not sufficient to offset the aforementioned factors limiting Fund performance.

What is your outlook?

The factors that have limited Fund results in the period are likely to mitigate and become advantages as we expect the deterioration in economic fundamentals will run its course over the next year. Markets will discount any improvement in the outlook long before it becomes apparent, and we believe the Fund is well positioned to benefit from that shift.

Our focus remains on owning stocks we believe have superior earnings prospects. With that in mind, the expected earnings growth of the Fund remains at a premium to that of the Russell 2000® Growth Index. Additionally, valuations for the portfolio are at a discount. This combination should position the Fund for improved results in a more constructive investment environment.

Thrivent Partner Small Cap Value Fund

 

LOGO   

Subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of small company common stock and securities convertible into small company common stocks.

The Fund is exposed to the risks of investing in equity securities of smaller companies, which may include, but are not limited to, lower trading volume and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. Small company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Partner Small Cap Value Fund earned a return of -26.94%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Small Cap Value category, of -33.08%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, earned a total return of -30.54%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Stock selection and avoiding securities in particularly weak industries were the most significant factors in the good relative returns achieved in the Fund. While absolute results were disappointing, the Fund did conserve some capital relative to the indexes and peers.

We achieved relatively favorable stock selection results across a number of sectors. The consumer discretionary sector was the most significant contributor, as our holdings declined appreciably less than the group. A lack of exposure in the media industry was a positive. Additionally, select exposures in the specialty retail industry declined modestly as compared to the group and the market. In particular, our positions in Aaron Rents and Haverty Furniture actually advanced over the holding period. Diversified consumer services and household durables were two other industries in which our average holdings provided results superior to their group peers. Fund results in information technology (IT) also bested the averages. In particular, holdings in the semiconductor, software and equipment industries performed better than the peer groups. Our holdings in IT services did not keep up with the broader industry and offset some of the advantage gained in other segments of the sector. The industrial sector was also responsible for some of the Fund’s advantage. Select holdings in the distribution, trading and air freight segments actually advanced over the period and materially lifted our relative returns. Electrical equipment holding Genlyte Group also advanced for the period. Health care sector results were quite supportive with strong relative returns across the Fund’s holdings in the biotechnology, heath care providers and equipment industries. A moderate cash position over the period also was additive to returns.

A factor limiting relative returns included a lack of exposure to certain segments in the financial sector. Despite all the macro challenges impairing financial firms, many small and regional banks had not exposed their operations to many of the more egregious practices of larger industry players and were able to expand market share as others retrenched. Moderate underweighting in the consumer staples sector was also a factor, as the segment declined much less than the broad market averages. Finally, an overweighted position in the energy sector offset some of the advantage gained in other Fund segments. While the energy sector was strong early in the period, it declined significantly in the final quarter of the fiscal year, as commodity and energy prices fell precipitously in the face of the weakening global economic outlook. We had reduced our position over the year but had not fully underweighted the group in advance of the fourth fiscal quarter weakness.

What is your outlook?

We believe that the long-term trend for energy is increasing global demand and expect to remain overweighted in the sector. The financial sector is paying the price of excess. We have an underweighted stance in the sector, as we believe the benchmark index’s 30%+ allocation is too much. Rising food and energy costs and tighter lending conditions are taking a bite out of discretionary income. We continue to seek financially strong consumer discretionary companies that can navigate these tough times. We are taking care to ensure that the Fund’s largest holdings have strong balance sheets and business models. Bargains have been increasing across all industries, providing plentiful opportunities for value investing.

Thrivent Small Cap Stock Fund

 

David A. Maule, CFA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small company common stocks and securities convertible into small company common stocks.

 

The Fund is exposed to the risks of investing in equity securities of smaller companies, which may include, but are not limited to, lower trading volume and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. Small company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Small Cap Stock Fund earned a return of -37.25%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Inc. Small Cap Core category, of -36.60%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, earned a total return of -34.16%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

During the period, the financial markets saw unprecedented volatility due, in large part, to the weaknesses of both the housing and credit markets. The impact of this crisis reverberated throughout all financial markets, resulting in significant losses on an absolute basis for most asset classes, including small-cap stocks. There was literally no place to hide, as all sectors had negative returns for the period, although defensive sectors such as utilities, consumer staples, financials and health care performed better than the economically sensitive sectors of energy, materials, industrials and information technology.

Given our concerns regarding the deteriorating credit environment and an overleveraged consumer, the Fund was underweighted in the financials sector, which resulted in negative relative performance as the massive government intervention stabilized and supported the sector. Additionally, our economically sensitive holdings detracted from Fund performance during the period, as the market recognized the potential for a global economic slowdown. Within the energy, materials and industrials sectors, many of our highly cyclical holdings exhibited volatile negative price reactions over a very short period of time as the energy and commodity bull market began to unwind.

On the positive side, the Fund benefited from superior security selection within the consumer discretionary space, particularly within the media, restaurants and specialty retail industries. Other positive sector contributions included telecommunication services and consumer staples. Within the health care sector, our biotechnology holdings performed extremely well, while within the financial sector our real estate investment trusts provided solid outperformance.

What is your outlook?

We remain concerned regarding the worldwide economic outlook, as the credit crisis continues to roil the financial markets while many of the world’s largest economies appear to have entered a recession. Deflationary forces continue to push down valuations on almost all assets, including real estate, stocks, bonds, commodities and oil. Credit contraction has been severe, which should hinder economic growth for some time. Consumers are constrained and many will likely have to increase savings and reduce spending. We expect increased job losses and a higher unemployment rate going forward, along with declining wage growth. Therefore, the outlook for consumer spending remains poor, which should translate into weak economic growth.

Given our outlook, the Fund is positioned with an overweighted stance in the more defensive sectors of health care, consumer staples and utilities. Additionally, the Fund has an overweighted position in the financials sector, primarily regional banks, as they should benefit from aggressive government monetary policies.

While the recent aggressive actions of the Fed, the U.S. Treasury and Congress may positively impact the economy in the short-term, the longer-term benefits are still uncertain. We remain fairly cautious because all the government programs will probably contribute to a larger Federal deficit at a time when the economy is likely in recession. The recession may be longer and deeper than many expect, as frugality should become the next big consumer trend, while corporations and state governments likely cut back on hiring and capital spending. We believe the Fund is positioned well for the current environment and, as economic conditions improve, we will adjust to a more aggressive stance.

Thrivent Small Cap Index Fund

 

Kevin R. Brimmer, FSA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks capital growth that tracks the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index by investing primarily in common stocks of the Index.

 

The Fund is exposed to the risks of investing in equity securities of smaller companies, which may include, but are not limited to, lower trading volume and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. Small company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. While the Fund attempts to closely track the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, it does not duplicate the composition of the Index. Individuals may not invest directly in any index. Index funds are subject to the same market risks associated with the stocks in their respective indexes. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Small Cap Index Fund earned a return of -32.77%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Small Cap Core Funds category, of -36.60%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, earned a total return of -32.44%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The Fund is managed to virtually replicate the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, a prime measure of small stock performance. We seek to maintain a fully invested position with limited transactions to minimize costs. As typically occurs with an index fund, the difference in performance between the benchmark index and the Fund itself can be largely attributed to expenses and minor differences in portfolio composition.

All sectors delivered negative 12-month returns. Small-cap stocks slightly outperformed large-cap and mid-cap stocks. Two sectors with the best relative performance were consumer staples and utilities. Investors showed a flight to quality, looking for lower volatility stocks. Stocks of consumer discretionary firms and materials, by contrast, were the weakest performers, posting the most negative returns. The former group has a significant exposure to the retail and automotive sectors, areas that were under extreme pressure as a result of the ongoing credit crunch. The latter is most exposed to changes of commodity prices. With the economic weakness spreading around the globe and supplies of many items becoming more available, prices weakened dramatically late in the period, pulling down earnings expectations and share prices in the group.

What is your outlook?

The Fund will remain fully invested in stocks designed to track the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. This strategy offers individuals an attractive way to take advantage of the growth potential of the broad, diversified marketplace of small-cap stocks.

With uncertainty growing over the strength of the U.S. economy and an ongoing inflation threat, investors backed away from risk. Generally in a down market, large-cap stocks tend to out perform small-cap issues as the companies are better able to weather economic and financial downturns. Small-cap stocks corrected more severely in 2007 and were discounting some of the economic distress that has become

more apparent over the recent fiscal year. Many risk assets are priced at extraordinary discounts to normal valuations. Typically, as equity markets bottom in anticipation of an economic recovery, small-cap stocks tend to perform well versus their larger-cap counterparts. Our belief is that adequate programs and policies are in place to allow an economic recovery to take hold in 2009. Stocks generally anticipate and react well in advance of apparent improvements of economic statistics.

Thrivent Mid Cap Growth Fund

 

Andrea J. Thomas, CFA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of medium-sized companies. Mid-cap stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price movements. Mid-sized company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Mid Cap Growth Fund earned a return of -39.95%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mid Cap Growth category, of -43.16%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, earned a total return of -43.77%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Over the fiscal year, the global financial markets have been buffeted by the severe credit crisis that now is impairing growth not only in the United States, but in global economies as well. Emerging economies like China, India, Russia and Brazil are slowing dramatically, even though—as recently as this summer—strong domestic demand was expected to insulate those economies. While domestic demand will moderate the slowdown for those economies, it will not insulate them.

Although the Fund outperformed its benchmark and peers, it too has suffered a significant decline. Our modest but not insignificant position in cash over the period benefitted portfolio results. The financial sector was another contributor to performance; although this sector was negatively impacted by the credit crisis, we had underweighted this group and stock selection was better than average.

Stock selection in the telecom services area was a drag on performance as many of these companies rely on debt markets to finance their growth. Companies that are heavily dependent on access to credit and low financing costs generally did not fare well over the period, as capital became both scarce and expensive.

What is your outlook?

Globally, credit conditions are severe for all but the most creditworthy borrowers and government or sovereign debt issuers. Credit is the lifeblood of any healthy economy. Policymakers around the world are attempting to identify and implement fiscal or monetary programs to free up the lack of liquidity in traditional credit markets. We believe the process of repairing the markets will take quite a long while.

As we look at investing in this market, we still come back to the fact that despite all the problems with our system right now, the United States still has more transparency in its financial system than any other nation on the globe. We believe policymakers are taking the right steps to shore up the banking system, and we have seen encouraging signs that the short-term money markets and commercial paper markets have become less volatile. This is a giant first step. The next step, in our opinion, is to get bank lending back to healthy levels to sustain growth in the economy.

While we do not believe we are fully through the credit unwinding and recession in the U.S. economy, we do believe it is time to begin positioning the portfolio toward early cycle stocks that will benefit from a turn in the U.S. economy over the course of the next 18 months. With that as our base assumption, we are positioning the portfolio toward stocks that have compelling valuations, trough margins, potential product cycles and, above all, healthy balance sheets.

While we believe the emerging markets will, over the course of time, continue to grow and be an ever-bigger factor in global supply and demand equations, it will likely be the United States that comes out of the quagmire first. However, in the next 12 to 24 months, these emerging areas may be good places once again to look for growth ideas.

Thrivent Partner Mid Cap Value Fund

 

Subadvised by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.

 

The Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital.

 

Mid-cap stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price movements. Mid-sized company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Partner Mid Cap Value Fund earned a return of –35.12%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mid Cap Value category, of -38.67%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, earned a total return of -38.83%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The financial markets were under severe pressure across the majority of asset classes over the latest fiscal year owing to the unusual disruptions in the credit markets. Those factors ultimately manifest themselves in the real economy and have significantly impaired growth not only in the United States but around the world. Only those segments associated with safety of principal have been spared the declines that have impacted both the financial and real asset markets. Government or sovereign debt is currently viewed by many investors as the most attractive opportunity for risk capital.

Over the last fiscal year, the Fund has maintained a modest level of cash reserves but, given the severity of the decline, even a modest position in cash was a meaningful factor for portfolio results. Stock selection and sector emphasis in the Fund were additional components of the management process that aided relative returns in the period. In particular, holdings in the consumer discretionary sector and our underweighting of the group contributed to returns versus the benchmark, as results in the group were unusually weak. A lack of exposure to both the specialty retail industries and the media group were additive, since both of these segments were particularly weak. The Fund’s holding in H&R Block in the diversified consumer segment lifted results as the stock achieved positive returns for the holding period. In addition, a lack of exposure to the automobile segment also proved additive. Energy has been an area of focus for the Fund, with particular sensitivity to those companies in the natural gas area. This tilt was beneficial in an environment in which oil prices declined precipitously from unsustainable levels. Natural gas prices had experienced their correction in the prior year and held up relatively well when oil prices finally corrected. Our below average exposure to the financial sector was also rewarded over the reporting period.

Offsetting some of the factors above was poor performance from the Fund’s holdings in the materials and information technology sectors. In materials, holdings in the chemical and packaging sectors did not perform well as expectations for economic growth adjusted downwards. Both of these groups are more sensitive to the changed outlook for the global economy. Spending in information technology also tends to be closely related to economic activity, with a particular sensitivity to the health of the financial sector, as that group tends to be a significant customer for investment technology (IT). With the ongoing turmoil in the financial group, concerns related to IT budgets have increased.

What is your outlook?

We believe the impact of the credit crunch is likely to ripple across the economy, impacting funding costs and end markets in a variety of industries. We are wary of companies led by unseasoned or untested management teams and are concerned that looming earnings disappointments will support market volatility at elevated levels. Looking forward, we see prospects in select companies that are poised to benefit from an environment of lower competition, higher pricing and improved market share. As a team, we strive to build a “quality statement” throughout the portfolio.

Thrivent Mid Cap Stock Fund

 

Brian J. Flanagan, CFA Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks of mid-sized companies.

 

Mid-cap stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price movements. Mid-sized company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Mid Cap Stock Fund earned a return of -41.38%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mid Cap Core category, of -38.43%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index, earned a total return of -40.67%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Thrivent Mid Cap Stock Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark. While no sector was positive on an absolute basis, the financials, materials, consumer staples and information technology sectors all provided relative outperformance. This positive relative performance was offset by the energy, industrial and utility sectors. Security selection within the insurance and commercial bank sectors led the financial sector performance. Decent container volumes, significant price increases and cost management benefitted Silgan Holdings, Inc., which provided the majority of the material sector outperformance. Overweighting the consumer staples sector proved beneficial heading into a recession. Companies such as Treehouse Foods, H.J. Heinz Co., and Flowers Foods, Inc. all benefited as consumers ate more meals at home. Finally, special situations within the information technology (IT) sector offset a difficult IT spending environment. These contributions were offset by poor timing within the energy, industrial and utility sectors. Being underweighted in the energy and utility sectors for much of the first half of the year weighed on performance, as commodity prices hit all-time highs. Neutralizing these sectors at the middle of year failed to recapture that underperformance when commodity prices plummeted. Finally, poor security selection within the industrial sector detracted from relative performance. Overweighting the airline stocks as oil prices soared was particularly ill-timed.

What is your outlook?

The U.S. economic slowdown has been fast and furious, and the implications are spreading to Europe and Asia quickly. In this uncertain environment, valuation based on metrics, including cash levels, book values, and normalized earnings, is arguably the ballast providing safety and opportunity. Information technology, materials and financials appear to be attractive sectors. Even though IT spending levels continue to fall, the technology sector offers, in our opinion, many compelling characteristics–attractive valuations, strong balance sheets and cash flows, and restrained corporate information technology spending during the past few years. The valuation support should offer downside protection, and the restrained spending should create pent-up demand when the cycle eventually turns. Within the materials sector, the container and packaging companies continue to exhibit pricing discipline as they reduce capacity and turn away low-return business. While the slowing economy has resulted in less volume growth lately, declining raw material costs should offer significant margin leverage in 2009. Finally, many insurance companies offer attractive valuations combined with an improving pricing environment. The combination of a heavy catastrophe season, significant investment losses, and a lack of new

capital has resulted in an improving pricing environment–the first in many years. At the same time pricing is turning, many of these companies are trading at trough valuations. Conversely, areas that have added significant capacity over the last few years and need access to the capital markets should be particularly vulnerable. The industrial and consumer discretionary sectors appear to be two such areas. Many industrial companies added significant capacity during the commodity boom and are now feeling the impacts of declining sales, lower pricing and weaker balance sheets. The consumer discretionary sector is also facing many headwinds. A slowing economy, a weak job market and a significant tightening of credit will all limit discretionary purchases, and consumer spending may decline for many quarters.

Thrivent Mid Cap Index Fund

 

Kevin R. Brimmer, FSA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks total returns that track the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index by investing primarily in common stocks comprising the Index.

 

Mid-cap stocks offer the potential for long-term gains but can be subject to short-term price movements. Mid-sized company stock prices are generally more volatile than large company stock prices. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus. While the Fund attempts to closely track the S&P MidCap 400 Index, it does not duplicate the composition of the Index. Individuals may not invest directly in any index. Index funds are subject to the same market risks associated with the stocks in their respective indexes. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Mid Cap Index Fund earned a return of -36.58%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mid Cap Core category, of -38.43%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, earned a total return of -36.46%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Because the Fund’s portfolio is designed to invest in a way that reflects its benchmark index, the only changes made to the portfolio are done to reconcile it with any alterations in the composition of the benchmark index. As typically occurs with an index fund, the difference in performance between the benchmark index and the Fund itself can be largely attributed to expenses and minor differences in portfolio composition.

Mid-caps underperformed both small-cap and large-cap stocks. All sectors had negative returns for the year. Utilities and consumer staples were the best performing sectors on a relative basis. By contrast, energy and telecommunication services stocks underperformed the most, due in part to lower demand for oil. Mid-cap indexes have a relatively large exposure to the more volatile components of the energy sector, and this exposure was a contributing factor in returns versus large- and small-cap stocks.

What is your outlook?

The Fund will remain fully invested in a way that tracks the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. This strategy is an attractive way for individuals to take advantage of the investment potential of the broad, diversified marketplace for mid-cap stocks.

Typically, as the economic cycle progresses, investors begin to favor larger-cap issues. There is a potential for mid-cap stocks to outperform larger-cap stocks as large-cap stocks have more exposure to the global market. We still believe that attractive opportunities are available in the mid-cap marketplace in the months ahead. If investors’ appetite for risk were to increase as financial pressures ease, the mid-cap sector provides access to many companies that are more sensitive to economic growth and thus should perform accordingly.

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity and debt securities of issuers in developed and emerging markets. Foreign investments, as compared to domestic ones, involve additional risks, including currency fluctuations, different accounting standards, and greater political, economic and market instability. These risks are magnified when the portfolio 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 Fund’s prospectus.

Thrivent Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund earned a return of -39.10% for the eight month period ending October 31, 2008. The inception date for the Fund was February 29, 2008. The Fund’s market benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index, earned a total return of -41.41%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Thrivent Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund allocates assets across four major segments of investments: large-capitalization companies across Europe, Australasia and the Far East; small- and mid-capitalization companies across the same geographies; emerging or developing markets; and developing market debt. Major foreign stock markets succumbed to the same economic malaise that so severely depressed U.S. equity and fixed income markets, falling in the face of significant credit contraction and diminished outlook for economic growth. Small- and mid-capitalization companies fell more than their broader markets, reflecting a higher level of business sensitivity to both credit markets and slowing domestic and global demand. Debt fared better than equity, but emerging markets debt was impacted by the sharp falloff in commodity prices towards the end of the reporting period.

As asset prices fell, leveraged investors chose to or were forced to reduce holdings, many of which had a currency component to them. The yen and the dollar both rose significantly against most major and minor currencies late in the period, further impairing returns to U.S.-based holders of non-U.S. assets.

An underweighted stance in the financial sector, as well as a modest allocation to cash and emerging market debt, mitigated the decline over the period. The financial sector, particularly in the large markets of Western Europe and the UK, was under particular pressure because of exposure to many of the globally troubled asset classes. Emerging market debt took quite a sell-off late in the period as commodity and energy prices fell sharply in the face of expectations for meaningfully diminished demand just as additional capacity is expected to come on stream. While the longer-term picture for economically sensitive raw materials is reasonable, prices that have been far above trend or economic viability have constricted demand at the same time a slowdown in the global economy is setting back growth expectations. While shares of companies in emerging markets and small-capitalization issues fared poorly over the period relative to large-caps, the Fund’s holdings in those groups were modestly beneficial to results as managers in those portfolio segments added value when compared to their respective benchmarks.

What is your outlook?

Global risk assets have been vigorously re-priced as investors grapple with the unwinding of the excessive debt and leverage that had built up over the last recovery. The credit crunch has resulted in serious implications for real growth in all economies. While there originally was some thought that domestic demand in emerging economies would mitigate the deterioration in large markets, that expectation has been dashed, as cross-economic dependencies are still quite high. Further exacerbating the challenges presented by the credit issues has been unacceptably high inflation readings, particularly in developing economies, which resulted in necessarily strong policy responses.

Valuations are attractive across most risk asset classes. The government policies that have been or are being implemented appear to be taking hold. That is a necessary prerequisite for any expectation of economic re-acceleration and market stabilization. The Fund is fully allocated across all asset categories, as we believe that markets are likely in the early phases of establishing the basis for improved returns.

Thrivent Partner International Stock Fund

 

Subadvised by Mercator Asset Management, LP and Principal Global Investors, LLC

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of foreign stocks. 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 portfolio 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 Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Partner International Stock Fund earned a return of -47.01%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper International Large Cap Core category, of -47.39%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index, earned a total return of -46.34%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Major foreign stock markets succumbed to the same economic malaise that so severely depressed U.S. equity and fixed-income markets, falling in the face of significant credit contraction and diminished outlook for economic growth. As asset prices fell, leveraged investors chose to or were forced to reduce exposures, many of which had a cross currency component to them. The yen and the dollar both rose significantly late in the period, further impairing returns to U.S.-based holders of non-U.S. assets.

The yen was often a currency of funding choice given the low interest rates. The dollar advanced as both a safe haven and in response to a severe break in commodity prices. Additionally, financial institutions’ efforts to shepherd capital and reduce outstanding loan balances reduced the amount of dollars available in the market. The UK and Continental Europe appeared to be most impacted, as their real estate and financial markets were geared in ways similar to that of the U.S. Europe is quite exposed to the deterioration in trade and increased financial risk that has surfaced in the commodity-based markets around the globe, given the strong export nature of some of its markets, particularly in Germany.

The Fund had been limiting its exposure to the financial sector, which mitigated some of the decline over the period. An offsetting factor was an emphasis on the industrial group, a segment that came under pressure late in the fiscal year under expectations of slowing economic growth and slower demand for industrial goods, particularly from emerging market countries. Health care shares also provided defensive positioning for the Fund, as did the traditionally conservative consumer staples sector. Our better-than-average stock selection within the energy sector had only a limited positive impact, since we had an underweighted sector stance. Country weightings were generally not a meaningful factor impacting returns positively or negatively over the period, as the Fund’s average exposures matched the major investment regions. Currency impacts were not a factor directly impacting portfolio performance relative to the benchmark.

What is your outlook?

When investor confidence is undermined, valuation may not matter as much, and stocks can become far cheaper than fundamentals would indicate. Therefore, some of the best buying junctures occur during points of maximum pessimism. The intense and indiscriminate selling pressure we have witnessed in recent weeks has given rise to some very attractive investment opportunities. While uncertainty remains high and volatility will likely remain elevated, we believe that current price levels offer attractive points to establish positions for investors with a reasonable time horizon. The portfolio has been biased towards larger-capitalization companies. We are seeing unusual opportunities in mid-capitalization segments and have begun to direct some effort to ferreting out attractive companies in that sector of the markets, as well.

Thrivent Large Cap Growth Fund

 

Scott A. Vergin, CFA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.

 

Large-cap stocks are subject to the basic market risk that a particular security, or securities in general, may decrease in value over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

The Thrivent Large Cap Growth Fund earned a return of -39.08%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Large Cap Growth category, of -38.07%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, earned a total return of -37.30%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The overall bear market in equities was a major factor in our performance. In addition, the fact that the Fund held less cash than the median of the peer group during the sharp market decline hurt performance.

A sector-based analysis shows that three sectors—financial, industrials and health care—provided the greatest contribution to the Fund’s performance. The financial sector posted the best relative returns, as our overweighted stances in JP Morgan Chase and NASDAQ OMX Group were significant outperformers in an overall poorly performing sector. The decline in oil prices during the latter part of the time period helped lift our holdings in the industrial sector by benefiting transportation companies like Northwest Airlines and Union Pacific. The health care sector was once again a positive contributor to performance, led by our ownership of Gilead Sciences, Abbott Laboratories and Baxter International.

Three sectors were the primary detractors from performance. Our underweighted position in consumer staples, which is a defensive sector, hurt during this equity market sell-off. Poor stock selection within the technology sector also detracted from performance, as our holdings in MasterCard and LDK Solar experienced severe corrections. The retreat in the price of commodities negatively impacted the materials sector; both our overweighted position and the substantial declines in our holdings of Freeport-McMoRan and U.S. Steel were major detractors from performance.

What is your outlook?

The historical sell-off in the equity markets implies the market has already discounted a significant amount of bad news. The market will likely exhibit continued volatile, choppy trading until the depth and duration of the economic recession and financial crisis becomes clearer. New sector leadership usually emerges from such market sell-offs and we look to financials and other early-cycle sectors as potential leaders in a market recovery.

Thrivent Large Cap Value Fund

 

Matthew D. Finn, CFA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital.

 

Large-cap stocks are subject to the basic market risk that a particular security, or securities in general, may decrease in value over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Large Cap Value Fund earned a return of -34.17%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Large Cap Value category, of -36.82%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, earned a total return of -36.80%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Investors have seen the economy slowing over the last year. By the end of October, any optimism that a recession could be avoided had disappeared. Indeed, investors appear to now be anticipating a severe global recession.

Stock selection accounted for the Fund’s outperformance of the benchmark. Stock selection was strongest in the financial services, technology and consumer staples sectors. In the financial services sector, the decision to sell AIG benefited the portfolio significantly relative to the benchmark and peers. Our research suggested that AIG had unquantifiable credit exposure primarily through its mortgage insurance and credit default swap books of business. If we can’t understand it, or value it, we generally avoid it. Minimal exposure to mortgage-related stocks also aided performance. The largest position in the thrift and mortgage industry, Hudson City Bancorp, helped performance significantly.

In the technology sector, positions in Accenture, International Business Machines (IBM) and Sybase were the primary contributors to strong relative performance. In the consumer staples sector, our significant position in General Mills helped relative returns, as the shares appreciated considerably.

Areas that hurt performance included the energy and materials sectors. In energy, the bulk of the pain was due to the position in Nabors Industries (drilling rigs). This position has been increased as the worst appears to be already reflected, valuation is attractive and eventually drilling activity will recover. In materials, positions in companies that participate in the chemicals industry hurt performance and have been reduced.

What is your outlook?

Economic forecasting is not an area where we have consistently added value. Therefore our focus is on stock selection. Our stock selection is of course guided by valuation. Currently we are finding the most attractive valuations in the banking and consumer cyclical areas of the market, and the portfolio is overweighted in those areas. While valuations are attractive, a major risk to these areas of

the market is that any recession is long and these companies suffer accordingly. Our approach is to manage this risk with our position sizes and also to purchase the shares when the valuations are exceedingly low compared to how we expect them to perform at the lowest part of the economic cycle. Our emphasis on quality companies that are well positioned to survive and prosper in the ultimate recovery also helps to mitigate the risk of this strategy.

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks.

 

Large-cap stocks are subject to the basic market risk that a particular security, or securities in general, may decrease in value over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

  

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Large Cap Stock Fund earned a return of -35.72%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Large Cap Core category, of -36.37%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, earned a total return of -36.08%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Stocks fell sharply over the last fiscal year, reflecting the serious disruptions in the credit markets. Credit has become both quite expensive and, in many areas, severely restricted for all but the highest quality borrowers. Governments around the world have stepped in with various programs to take the place of the traditional credit providers as investors direct capital to only the safest alternatives. The financial sector continues to be largely impaired, reflecting severe investment and operating losses from both traditional and non-traditional banking activities.

The most important factor impacting the Fund’s modestly better results versus the benchmark was our defensive positioning in the financial sector. In general, the Fund had a bias against firms that had a business model highly dependent on capital markets’ activities or the securitization markets. Our emphasis on firms that operate within the framework of traditional lending practices and credit and balance sheet integrity was a benefit to results. Stock selection in both health care and information technology was also better than that of the benchmark.

Holdings in the materials sectors had a negative impact on results. For most of the period, commodity-related and energy sectors performed relatively well despite the turmoil in the broader market. In the final quarter of the fiscal year, however, commodity and energy prices fell sharply as the global economic outlook appeared to accelerate downwards and cascade over to emerging economies, impairing the outlook for near-term commodity demand. Also offsetting some of the better results in the financial group was an underweighted stance in the relatively defensive consumer staples sector, a group that appears to be overvalued as investors have rushed into the most conservative sectors of the markets.

What is your outlook?

There is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty in both the economic and financial outlook. The programs that have been put in place appear to be making progress in facilitating a more normal lending environment, which would establish the basis for an improving economic environment. Holders of risk capital around the globe continue to be cautious. Additionally, consumers remain hesitant and have reduced purchases as the employment outlook remains tentative. Mitigating some of these concerns is a relatively well-balanced corporate sector with moderate inventories and generally good balance sheets. That is not the case universally, with severe constraints in both automobiles and retail, areas that likely will experience significant restructuring pressure.

Most risk asset classes are priced at extraordinary discounts to normal valuations, some at levels not seen in generations. At some point over the next 12 months, the holders of fresh capital will become dissatisfied with the unusually low returns currently being earned by the safest investment alternatives. We are beginning to reposition assets to those segments that should benefit from an improving economic outlook and more stable financial environment. Immediate risks remain high, so activity is thoughtful and deliberate, but we believe valuations are unusually attractive for an investor with only a moderate time horizon. The large-cap core segment will benefit directly in any improvement in investor sentiment and outlook as it provides broad market exposure in highly liquid securities, both domestically and abroad.

Thrivent Large Cap Index Fund

 

Kevin R. Brimmer, FSA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks total returns that track the performance of the S&P 500 Index by investing primarily in common stocks comprising the Index.

 

Large-cap stocks are subject to the basic market risk that a particular security, or securities in general, may decrease in value over short or even extended time periods. While the Fund attempts to closely track the S&P 500 Index, it does not exactly duplicate the composition of the Index. Individuals may not invest directly in any Index. Index funds are subject to the same market risks associated with stocks in their respective indexes. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Large Cap Index Fund earned a return of -36.36%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper S&P 500 Index Objective Funds category, of -36.38%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, earned a total return of -36.08%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The Fund’s holdings are aligned with those of the S&P 500 Index. As typically occurs in an index fund, the difference in performance between the benchmark index and the Fund itself can largely be attributed to expenses and minor differences in portfolio composition.

All sectors delivered negative returns over the past year. Consumer staples and health care had the best relative performance in the market over the past year. These sectors tend to grow more than or, at worst, decline less than more cyclical companies in periods of economic weakness. They also tend to have higher-quality balance sheets.

Large-cap stocks outperformed mid-cap stocks but underperformed small-cap stocks over the past fiscal year. Information technology and the financial sectors delivered the most negative returns for the 12-month period. IT spending is cyclical and expectations are for spending to decline in the face of slowing or negative economic growth. The financial sector is essentially being restructured in the aftermath of the debt and excesses of the last cycle.

What is your outlook?

There is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty in both the financial and economic outlook. The programs that have been put in place appear to be making progress in facilitating a more normal lending environment. At some point, investors may become dissatisfied with unusually low returns being earned by the safest investment alternatives, and may shift money toward more recognizable blue chip companies that have the potential to achieve higher returns for their portfolios.

The financial calamity that began in the credit markets and has cascaded over to both the real economy and the equity markets appears to be running its course. The equity market should anticipate the ultimate recovery in the economy, and certainly the policy levers are all being exercised to foster greater availability of credit and higher growth. Inflation risks appear to have diminished significantly in the short term, and commodity and energy prices have experienced sharp corrections to levels that are more realistic in relation to costs and demand and supply variables. We believe the catalysts are in place for a meaningful recovery in equity prices over the next 12 months.

Darren Bagwell, CFA (left) and Michael G. Landreville, CFA (right), Portfolio Co-Managers

 

The Fund seeks long-term total return through a balance between income and the potential for long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk and volatility risk, which may result in overall price fluctuations over short or even extended time periods. Common stocks are subject to the basic market risk that a particular security, or securities in general, may decrease in value over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

  

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Balanced Fund earned a return of -28.76%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth category, of -30.84%. The Fund’s market benchmarks, the S&P Supercomposite 1500 Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, earned total returns of -35.95% and 0.30%, respectively.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The Fund’s equity component returned -35.89%. Sectors contributing the most to relative outperformance on the equity side included financials, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and materials. Health care was the primary source of partially offsetting relative underperformance.

Our equity outperformance in financials was due to our emphasis on higher-quality regional banks as well as our timely entries into stronger-performing national banks. Our continuing preference for JP Morgan at the expense of struggling Citigroup amongst the money-center banks was also a major contributor to performance. Within consumer discretionary, stock positions in value-oriented retailers Wal-Mart, TJX and Ross Stores generated solid relative returns. In consumer staples, our overweighted positions in large packaged food companies helped relative performance. Finally, our favoring of more stable and conservative materials names at the expense of the metals and commodity producers paid significant dividends. Underperformance in the health care sector was primarily due to our underweighting of pharmaceuticals.

A main reason for our fixed-income component’s relative underperformance was our underweighting of Treasury securities, which outperformed other fixed-income categories as investors flocked to safety throughout the period. Although we maintained a diversified portfolio of high-quality, mortgage-backed, asset-backed agency and corporate bonds, these securities generally experienced a drop in prices and a hike in yields–in many cases to record margins over Treasury yields–as the liquidity crunch worsened throughout the year.

The other major detractor from the fixed-income component’s relative performance was the floating-rate debt we used to back our forward purchase of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage securities. The debt we used, all AAA-rated with maturities of from one to three years and a coupon rate that readjusts between one and three months, was impacted by sub-prime mortgage-related troubles and lost value.

What is your outlook?

We expect 2009 to be characterized by continued weak economic growth, burdened by further housing market weakness, difficult credit markets and deteriorating consumer spending trends; low and stable interest rates; a stable or stronger dollar; and continued weakening in international demand.

Table of Contents

Within the equity component, we see value in energy, technology, retailing, and the financial sector. As difficult as economic conditions remain, equity markets are at historically low valuation levels and their recovery can precede economic improvements by 12-18 months.

In the fixed-income markets, we expect the yield curve to remain steep and credit spreads to remain wide in the near future. We will maintain our current bond portfolio posture, not adding risk but not selling adversely affected securities that we believe are money good while market prices are down due to investor fears.

Thrivent High Yield Fund

 

Paul J. Ocenasek, CFA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks high current income and, secondarily, growth of capital by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high-yield corporate bonds.

 

The Fund typically invests a majority of its assets in high-yield bonds (commonly referred to as junk bonds). Although high-yield bonds typically have a higher current yield than investment-grade bonds, high-yield are also subject to greater price fluctuations and increased risk of loss of principal than investment-grade bonds. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent High Yield Fund earned a return of -22.70%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper U.S. High Current Yield Funds, of -24.21%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, earned a total return of -25.81%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

With investors focused on growing troubles in the credit markets and a massive de-leveraging of the U.S. financial system, the high-yield bond market sold off significantly during the period. The yield premium or “spread” high-yield bonds offered over that of Treasury securities increased from 4.21% at the beginning of the period to 14.79% on October 31, 2008, with a simultaneous drop in their prices. This was the most significant spread widening that the high-yield market has ever witnessed. The sell-off was especially dramatic in the period’s final month of October. Also, spreads became much wider during the period than those seen in either of the last two recessions (1990-1991 and 2000-2001).

The Fund outperformed its peer group during this challenging period mainly due to our emphasis on higher-quality bonds. Our position in bonds of the lowest credit quality (CCC-rated) was significantly underweighted relative to our benchmark index (by about 7.50 percentage points at the end of the period). Other factors that enhanced our performance relative to our peer group included our overweighted positions in recession-resistant industries such as health care (down 10.50%, a modest decline compared to the overall market), wireless (down 12%), and our underweighted positions in recession-prone industries such as autos (down 36%), retail (down 28%), building materials (down 32%) and finance (down 63%).

Detracting from the Fund’s performance was our overweighted position in the gaming sector (down 43% during the period), though our credit selection in this sector was good. The Fund’s gaming sector holdings were down 32% during the period.

What is your outlook?

Our outlook for high-yield bonds is cautious and will remain so until it becomes clearer how the economy will perform in 2009. We think the rate cutting and other credit-easing moves undertaken by the Federal Reserve and central banks around the world during the period will help stabilize our financial system.

Even so, we are concerned about the threats to growth posed by continued problems in the housing and credit markets, softening consumer demand and rising unemployment. In a recession, high-yield bonds typically perform poorly. With slow or no economic growth, we expect default rates in high-yield bonds to increase significantly over the next year or two. For these reasons, we will keep a defensive stance.

With high-yield bond yield spreads so wide, however, the market appears to have priced in the expected increase in defaults and, we think, may be overcompensating investors at current yields. As much of the damage to the market appears to have been done already, we are finding some very attractive opportunities to add value to the Fund by making selective investments. For suitable investors, we believe that now may be a good time to be averaging into a high-yield bond portfolio.

Thrivent Municipal Bond Fund

 

Janet I. Grangaard, CFA, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with capital preservation, by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds.*

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk related to an issuer’s underlying financial position and volatility risk, which may result in overall price fluctuations over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Municipal Bond Fund earned a return of -2.92%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Category, of -6.87%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, earned a total return of -3.30%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The credit crunch that started in sub-prime mortgages worsened throughout the period and affected all types of fixed-income securities, including municipal bonds. Yields fell on shorter-term municipal bonds and rose on longer-term securities as the Federal Reserve cut interest rates repeatedly and investors sought the relative safety of shorter maturities and higher-rated issuers. Fortunately, our portfolio was positioned for a steepening yield curve and a market emphasis on quality.

Our heavier weighting of three- to 10-year bonds enhanced our performance relative to our peer group as prices at the shorter end of the yield curve rose slightly or stayed relatively stable. A focus on high-quality securities also benefited our relative performance, as investor appetite for risk diminished and the liquidity crisis continued to impact other bond sectors. The ongoing flight to quality boosted yields of lower-rated bonds and pushed down their prices. Consequently, our lower weighting in high-yield municipal bonds enhanced our performance relative to our peer group. The Fund had limited exposure to high yield, whereas some other funds had a considerable percentage of their portfolios in this segment.

Our decision to avoid two types of securities that performed poorly also enhanced the Fund’s performance relative to its peer group. These included gas prepay bonds, which lost value due to concerns about unrelated losses incurred by the major banks that underwrite them; and floating-rate-note securities, many of which were down sharply during the period. Our underweighted position in tobacco-sector bonds, which also performed poorly, benefited the Fund’s relative performance as well.

Despite the troubles facing bond insurers during the period, the Portfolio fared well because our insured holdings are, on average, of high quality and their prices did not fall dramatically as a result. Rather than rely on bond insurance, we insist on carefully researching the credit quality of each security we consider.

What is your outlook?

Economic activity will likely remain sluggish at least through the first half of 2009. Eventually, however, the massive government bailout and stimulus programs should begin to spur faster growth. At that point, inflation may once again become a concern.

In the meantime, we expect further volatility in the municipal bond market, a continued steep yield curve and wide credit spreads. State and local governments will likely face tighter budgets, requiring difficult decisions about priorities. Insurance should also be less prevalent than in past years, when roughly 50% of new issuances came with insurance. The market for municipal bonds itself is also shifting from institutional to retail buyers. With the dynamic nature of today’s municipal bond market, investors must do their homework and monitor their holdings carefully. We will continue to do that for you. We believe that the Fund is in a strong position to take advantage of upcoming market values. Going forward, we will look for opportunities to add select longer-maturity and slightly lower-rated bonds to our Portfolio to continue our efforts to enhance shareholders’ total return.

Thrivent Income Fund

 

Kent L. White, CFA (left) and Paul J. Ocenasek, CFA (right), Portfolio Co-Managers

 

The Fund seeks high current income while preserving principal and, secondarily, long-term growth of capital.

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk related to a company’s underlying financial position and volatility risk, which may result in overall price fluctuations over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

 

   LOGO

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Income Fund earned a return of -14.19%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated Funds, of -14.91%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, earned a total return of 0.30%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

Most of the outperformance relative to our peer group was attributable to the defensive, up-in-quality bias of the Fund’s holdings in corporate bonds. Given our expectations for a prolonged period of economic weakness and limited availability of capital, we were overweighted in investment-grade corporate bonds versus lower quality high-yield corporate bonds, and underweighted in consumer and cyclically exposed sectors of the economy. Being overweighted in cash and underweighted in a number of the large financial failures such as AIG, Washington Mutual and Fannie Mae also helped performance relative to our peer group during the worst part of this past year’s credit crisis.

The Fund has continued to be negatively impacted by the illiquid floating-rate securities that were used to support the forward purchase of mortgage securities. These securities have been the largest source of negative return contribution over the past year and remain highly illiquid. We also had an underweighted position in U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency securities and agency-backed mortgage securities, all of which are higher-quality asset classes that outperformed as riskier credit underperformed in one of the worst years ever for the credit markets.

What is your outlook?

We continue to expect a prolonged period of significant economic weakness as it appears the world’s economies are entering one of the first synchronized global recessions in a long time. The mortgage crisis that started in 2007 has spread from the consumer through the banking system and is now poised to impact the broader economy. Rising unemployment, very weak consumer spending, and business spending cutbacks are now the primary risks to the economy. The support from exports that U.S. corporations have enjoyed is also now in jeopardy as global growth slows and the U.S. dollar strengthens. Helping to offset these risks somewhat, the U.S. government and governments around the world have initiated financial-system rescue plans that may begin to show signs of returning some liquidity to the credit markets.

We are much less concerned about inflation at this point in the economic cycle, but need to stay vigilant due to the very large amount of stimulus that is in the pipeline from governments around the world. Given this outlook, with downside risks to growth and minimal inflation concerns, we have a neutral to slightly long bias to duration and the Treasury curve.

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk related to a company’s underlying financial position and volatility risk, which may result in overall price fluctuations over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

   LOGO

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Core Bond Fund earned a return of -10.13%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds, of -6.38%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, earned a total return of 0.30%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

A main reason for our underperformance relative to the peer group was our underweighting of Treasury securities, which outperformed other fixed-income categories as investors flocked to safety throughout the period. Although we maintained a diversified portfolio of high-quality mortgage-backed, asset-backed, agency and corporate bonds, these securities generally experienced a drop in prices and a hike in yields–in many cases to record margins over Treasury yields–as the liquidity crunch worsened throughout the year.

Within our corporate bond holdings we’ve typically held an overweighted position in the financial sector, which generally has been a high-rated area of the market. But during the 12-month reporting period, the worsening liquidity crisis hurt the financial sector overall, since finance corporations issue and hold the affected securities. Our bank and brokerage securities were particularly affected during the period. In addition, some of the corporate financial sector bonds we held were “hybrid securities.” These securities are designed to put the bondholder lower in the corporate repayment order in case of bankruptcy–but still ahead of stockholders–in exchange for higher returns. However, they were also hard hit by the credit crunch.

The other major detractor from the Fund’s relative performance was the floating-rate debt we used to back our forward purchase of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage securities. The debt we used, all AAA-rated with maturities of from one to three years and a coupon rate that readjusts between one and three months, was impacted by sub-prime mortgage-related troubles and lost value.

What is your outlook?

Economic activity will likely remain sluggish at least until mid-2009. Eventually, the unprecedented amount of government stimulus in the system–in the form of bailouts and other liquidity programs–should begin to spur faster growth. Until then, the Federal Reserve will likely keep short-term interest rates low. Lower interest rates, however, may be less effective in prompting a recovery than the massive government liquidity programs planned or in progress.

We expect the yield curve to remain steep and credit spreads to remain wide in the near future. We will maintain our current portfolio posture, not adding risk but not selling adversely affected securities, which we believe are money good while market prices are down due to investor fears. As noted, we think the worst is over for our affected corporate and floating-rate securities and that their value should rebound as the market calms down.

The Fund seeks a high level of current income with stability of principal.

 

The Fund is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk related to a company’s underlying financial position and volatility risk, which may result in overall price fluctuations over short or even extended time periods. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

  

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Limited Maturity Bond Fund earned a return of -5.03%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds, of -3.15%. The Fund’s market benchmark, the Barclays Capital Government/Credit 1-3 Year Bond Index, earned a total return of 4.20%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The main reason for our underperformance relative to the peer group was our underweighting of Treasury securities, which outperformed other fixed-income categories as investors flocked to safety throughout the period. Although we maintained a diversified portfolio of high-quality mortgage-backed, asset-backed, agency and corporate bonds, these securities generally experienced a drop in prices and a hike in yields as the liquidity crunch worsened throughout the year.

Most of the Fund’s negative performance occurred over the last three months of the 12-month period. The failures or forced sale of several large financial institutions–including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual, Wachovia, Merrill Lynch and AIG–escalated investors’ fears and their rush to safety. During these months the yield spread, or the yield margin over government-guaranteed Treasury securities that other types of bonds pay, grew to the widest levels ever seen.

With rising concerns about how much the housing slump and worsening credit crisis would disrupt the economy, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee cut short-term interest rates repeatedly during the period, with the federal funds target rate dropping from 4.50% on October 31, 2007, to 1.00% on October 29, 2008. The government also undertook other extraordinary measures to inject liquidity into the financial system. The yield on the two-year Treasury note fell from 3.95% to 1.55% during the period.

Our relative performance benefited during the period from moves to position the Portfolio for a steeper yield curve and purchasing options on Treasury futures, which enabled us to extend the Portfolio’s duration when interest rates declined significantly. The options’ value grew as rates fell. The Fund’s relative performance also benefited from our overweighted position in agency securities, which did significantly better than corporate bonds or securitized assets.

What is your outlook?

Economic activity will likely remain sluggish at least until mid-2009. Eventually, the unprecedented amount of government stimulus in the system–in the form of bailouts and other liquidity programs–should begin to spur faster growth. Until then, the Federal Reserve will likely keep short-term interest rates low. Lower interest rates, however, may be less effective in prompting a recovery than the massive government liquidity programs planned or in progress.

Thrivent Money Market Fund

 

William D. Stouten, Portfolio Manager

 

The Fund seeks a high level of current income, while maintaining liquidity and a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, by investing in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, short-term money market instruments.

 

The principal risk of investing in the Fund is current income risk—that is, the income the Fund receives may fall as a result of a decline in interest rates. This and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008?

Thrivent Money Market Fund earned a return of 3.21%, as compared to the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Money Market Funds category, of 2.64%.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance?

The worsening global “liquidity crunch” was the factor that most influenced money market securities during the reporting period. Yields rose on most structured securities, while yields declined on industrial names, U.S agency debt and Treasuries as investors sought quality.

Fortunately, our investment philosophy was rewarded during this market upheaval. We had little exposure through most of the period to the types of securities that concerned the market. Throughout the 12 months, we took advantage of the higher yields offered on many types of securities that we felt still offered our shareholders the liquidity and safety they expect. Early in the period, we purchased some longer-dated (three to six months) securities at attractive prices, enabling us to extend the Fund’s weighted average maturity in high-quality investments. This move benefited us as the Fed cut interest rates repeatedly during the period, with the federal funds target rate dropping from 4.50% on October 31, 2007, to 1.00% on October 29, 2008. When government intervention steps boosted credit quality and liquidity, we began to take advantage of the pricing discrepancies that remained in the market.

The Fund also benefited from its holdings of LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate)-based floaters, which reset at high rates during the period because of the disruption in the European banking system and the subsequent increase in LIBOR rates. Further, we benefited by significantly expanding our holdings of municipal credits (taxable short-term securities issued by local and state governmental units).

Yet another positive influence on the Fund’s performance was our effective management of overnight liquidity. Our willingness to shift in and out of a variety of overnight investments depending on the yield provided us with a competitive advantage against industry participants that have been less flexible.

Money market securities in general were also affected by several federal programs initiated during the period to bolster market liquidity and investor confidence. One is the U.S. Treasury Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds, which protects the value of shares in participating funds (held by investors as of September 19, 2008) from dropping below $1.00. Thrivent Money Market Fund was a participant in the initial Program (September 19, 2008 through December 18, 2008) and applied to participate

in the extended Program (December 19, 2008 through April 30, 2009). Two other programs, the Commercial Paper Funding Facility and the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, provide federal funding and backing to enhance liquidity of money market securities.

What is your outlook?

With all of the federal backstops in place, we expect money market liquidity to improve and yields to come down. The Federal Reserve may cut short-term interest rates further to help spur economic growth. So we expect a period of relatively low money market yields ahead.

We continue to manage the Fund conservatively as we prepare for the possibility that interest rates and fund flows may change unexpectedly. As in any economic environment, we will continue to focus on our primary goals of safety and liquidity, while pursuing the optimum risk-adjusted yield.

Shareholder Expense Example

(Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008.

Actual Expenses

In the table below, the first section, labeled “Actual,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number from the appropriate Class line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid. A small account fee of $12 is charged to Class A shareholder accounts if the value falls below stated account minimums ($2,500 for Thrivent Limited Maturity Bond Fund, $1,500 for Thrivent Money Market Fund and $1,000 for all other Funds). This fee is not included in the table below. If it were, the expenses you paid during the period would have been higher and the ending account value would have been lower.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

In the table below, the second section, labeled “Hypothetical,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small account fee of $12 is charged to Class A shareholder accounts if the value falls below stated account minimums ($2,500 for Thrivent Limited Maturity Bond Fund, $1,500 for Thrivent Money Market Fund and $1,000 for all other Funds). This fee is not included in the table below. If it were, the expenses you paid during the period would have been higher and the ending account value would have been lower.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Thrivent Aggressive Allocation Fund, Thrivent Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund, Thrivent Moderate Allocation Fund, Thrivent Moderately Conservative Allocation Fund, Thrivent Technology Fund, Thrivent Partner Small Cap Growth Fund, Thrivent Partner Small Cap Value Fund, Thrivent Small Cap Stock Fund, Thrivent Small Cap Index Fund, Thrivent Mid Cap Growth Fund, Thrivent Partner Mid Cap Value Fund, Thrivent Mid Cap Stock Fund, Thrivent Mid Cap Index Fund, Thrivent Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund, Thrivent Partner International Stock Fund, Thrivent Large Cap Growth Fund, Thrivent Large Cap Value Fund, Thrivent Large Cap Stock Fund, Thrivent Large Cap Index Fund, Thrivent Balanced Fund, Thrivent High Yield Fund, Thrivent Municipal Bond Fund, Thrivent Income Fund, Thrivent Core Bond Fund, Thrivent Limited Maturity Bond Fund, and Thrivent Money Market Fund (twenty-six of the Thrivent Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2008, the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

High Yield Fund

Schedule of Investments as of October 31, 2008

 

a The stated interest rate represents the weighted average of all contracts within the bank loan facility. Bank loans generally have rates of interest which are reset either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. Bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or allow the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. Therefore, the actual maturity may occur considerably earlier than the stated maturities shown.

 

b All or a portion of the loan is unfunded as discussed in item 2(U) of the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

c Denotes investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

 

d All or a portion of the security is insured or guaranteed.

 

e Denotes variable rate obligations for which the current yield and next scheduled reset date are shown.

 

f Denotes securities sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts them from registration. These securities have been determined to be liquid under the guidelines established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and may be resold to other dealers in the program or to other qualified institutional buyers. As of October 31, 2008, the value of these investments was $73,362,570 or 16.2% of total net assets.

 

g All or a portion of the security is on loan as discussed in item 2(M) of the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

h Denotes restricted securities. Restricted securities are investment securities which have been deemed illiquid and cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The following table indicates the acquisition date and cost of restricted securities High Yield Fund owned as of October 31, 2008.

a The stated interest rate represents the weighted average of all contracts within the bank loan facility. Bank loans generally have rates of interest which are reset either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. Bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or allow the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. Therefore, the actual maturity may occur considerably earlier than the stated maturities shown.

 

b Denotes variable rate obligations for which the current yield and next scheduled reset date are shown.

Thrivent Mutual Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

As of October 31, 2008

(1) ORGANIZATION

Thrivent Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust on March 10, 1987 and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is divided into twenty-nine separate series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), each with its own investment objective and policies. The Trust currently consists of four allocation funds, seventeen equity funds, two hybrid funds, five fixed-income funds, and one money market fund. Thrivent Real Estate Securities Fund, Thrivent Equity Income Plus Fund and Thrivent Diversified Income Plus Fund have a fiscal year end on a calendar-year basis and are presented under a separate annual report.

The Trust includes three classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Institutional Class. The three classes of shares differ principally in their respective distribution expenses and arrangements. Class A shares have a 0.25% annual 12b-1 fee (0.125% for Limited Maturity Bond Fund and Money Market Fund) and a maximum front-end sales load of 5.50% for allocation funds, equity funds, and hybrid funds and 4.50% for fixed-income funds, excluding Limited Maturity Bond Fund and Money Market Fund, which have no sales load. Class B shares were offered at net asset value and have a 1.00% annual 12b-1 fee (0.25% for Limited Maturity Bond Fund and 0.875% for Money Market Fund). In addition, Class B shares have a maximum deferred sales charge of 5.00%. The deferred sales charge declines by 1.00% per year through the fifth year. Class B shares convert to Class A shares at the end of the fifth year. Institutional Class shares are offered at net asset value and have no annual 12b-1 fees. All three classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Effective October 16, 2004, the Trust no longer offers Class B shares for sale.

The following Funds have all three classes of shares: Technology Fund, Partner Small Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Stock Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Stock Fund, Partner International Stock Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Stock Fund, Balanced Fund, High Yield Fund, Municipal Bond Fund, Income Fund, Core Bond Fund, Limited Maturity Bond Fund and Money Market Fund. Aggressive Allocation Fund, Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund, Moderately Conservative Allocation Fund, Partner Small Cap Growth Fund, Partner Mid Cap Value Fund and Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund offer Class A and Institutional Class shares. Small Cap Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund and Large Cap Index Fund offer Class A shares only.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with vendors and others that provide general damage clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) Valuation of Investments – Securities traded on U.S. or foreign securities exchanges or included in a national market system are valued at the official closing price at the close of each business day unless otherwise stated below. Over-the-counter securities and listed securities for which no price is readily available are valued at the current bid price considered best to represent the value at that time. Security prices are based on quotes that are obtained from an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The pricing service, in determining values of fixed-income securities, takes into consideration such factors as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other yield and risk factors it deems relevant in determining valuations. Securities which cannot be valued by the approved pricing service are valued using valuations obtained from dealers that make markets in the securities. Exchange listed options and futures contracts are valued at the last quoted sales price. Investments in open-ended mutual funds are valued at the net asset value at the close of each business day.

For all Funds, other than Money Market Fund, short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Securities held by Money Market Fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost (which approximates market value), whereby a portfolio security is valued at its cost initially and thereafter valued to reflect a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The market values of the securities held in Money Market Fund are determined once per week using prices supplied by the Trust’s independent pricing service. Money Market Fund and the Trust’s investment adviser follow procedures necessary to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.

All securities for which market values are not readily available or deemed unreliable are appraised at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. As of October 31, 2008, one security in High Yield Fund was valued at fair value, which represented less than 0.01% of that Fund’s net assets.

Fair Valuation of International Securities – Because many foreign markets close before the U.S. markets, events may occur between the close of the foreign market and the close of the U.S. markets that could have a material impact on the valuation of foreign securities. The Funds, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, evaluate the impacts of these events and may adjust the valuation of foreign securities to reflect the fair value as of the close of the U.S. markets. The Board of Trustees has authorized the investment adviser to make fair valuation determinations pursuant to policies approved by the Board of Trustees.

As of October 31, 2008

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

(B) Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the daily closing rates of exchange.

Foreign currency amounts related to the purchase or sale of securities and income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Net realized and unrealized currency gains and losses are recorded from sales of foreign currency, exchange gains or losses between the trade date and settlement dates on securities transactions, and other translation gains or losses on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes. The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

For federal income tax purposes, the Funds treat the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the changes in foreign exchange rates between the trade date and settlement date as ordinary income.

(C) Foreign Currency Contracts – In connection with purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign currencies, all Funds except the Money Market Fund may enter into forward currency contracts. Additionally, the Funds may enter into such contracts to hedge certain other foreign currency denominated investments. These contracts are recorded at market value and the related realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. In the event that counterparties fail to settle these forward contracts, the Funds could be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the contract exchange rate and the closing forward rate applied to the face amount of the contract. A realized gain or loss is recorded at the time a forward contract is closed. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Technology Fund, Small Cap Stock Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund, Partner International Stock Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Stock Fund and Balanced Fund engaged in this type of investment.

(D) Foreign Denominated Investments – Foreign denominated assets and currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk, and market risk. Certain Funds may also invest in securities of companies located in emerging markets. Future economic or political developments could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities.

(E) Federal Income Taxes – No provision has been made for income taxes because each Funds’ policy is to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and distribute substantially all investment company taxable income and net capital gain on a timely basis. It is also the intention of each Fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any federal excise tax. The Funds, accordingly, anticipate paying no federal taxes and no federal tax provision was recorded. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Certain Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.

Certain Funds are subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. These amounts are shown as foreign dividend tax withholding on the Statements of Operations.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 that requires additional tax disclosures with respect to the tax effects of certain income tax positions, whether those positions were taken on previously filed tax returns or are expected to be taken on future returns. These positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that, based on the technical merits of the position, would have a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, management of the Fund must presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Fund adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April 30, 2008, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for mutual funds.

FIN 48 requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities. Major jurisdictions for the Fund include Federal, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts as well as certain foreign countries. As of October 31, 2008, open Federal, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2005, through 2008. Additionally, as of October 31, 2008, the tax years ending in 2004 are open for Wisconsin. The Funds have no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.

As of October 31, 2008, Management of the Fund has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no effect to the Fund’s tax liability, financial position or results of operations. There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain income tax

positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

(F) Expenses and Income – Estimated expenses are accrued daily. The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to them. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among all appropriate Funds in proportion to their respective net assets, number of shareholder accounts or other reasonable basis. Net investment income, expenses which are not class-specific, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated directly to each class based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares.

Interest income is accrued daily and is determined on the basis of interest or discount earned on all debt securities, including accretion of market discount and original issue discount and amortization of premium. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

(G) Custody Earnings Credit – The Funds have a deposit arrangement with the custodian whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to pay a portion of custodian fees. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to overnight investments. Earnings credits are shown as a reduction of total expenses on the Statement of Operations.

(H) Distributions to Shareholders – Dividend and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. With the exception of Money Market Fund, net realized gains from securities transactions, if any, are paid at least annually after the close of the fiscal year.

Dividends from High Yield Fund, Municipal Bond Fund, Income Fund, Core Bond Fund, Limited Maturity Bond Fund and Money Market Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends from Money Market Fund also include any short-term net realized gains or losses on the sale of securities. Dividends from Moderate Allocation Fund, Moderately Conservative Allocation Fund and Balanced Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from the following funds are declared and paid annually: Aggressive Allocation Fund, Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund, Technology Fund, Partner Small Cap Growth Fund, Partner Small Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Stock Fund, Small Cap Index Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Partner Mid Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Stock Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund, Partner International Stock Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Stock Fund and Large Cap Index Fund.

(I) Options – All Funds, with the exception of Money Market Fund, may buy put and call options and write put and covered call options. The Funds intend to use such derivative instruments as hedges to facilitate buying or selling securities or to provide protection against adverse movements in security prices or interest rates. The Funds may also enter into options contracts to protect against adverse foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. A Fund will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds upon sale for a written call option or the cost of a security for purchased put and call options is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

Buying put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security, while buying call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security, while writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security. The writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying security may be sold or bought, and therefore bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Stock Fund, Balanced Fund, Income Fund, Core Bond Fund, and Limited Maturity Bond Fund engaged in these types of investment.

(J) Financial Futures Contracts – Certain Funds use futures contracts to manage the exposure to interest rate and market fluctuations. Gains or losses on futures contracts can offset changes in the yield of securities. When a futures contract is opened, cash or other investments equal to the required “initial margin deposit” are held on deposit with and pledged to the broker. Additional securities held by the Funds may be earmarked for open futures contracts. The futures contract’s daily change in value (“variation margin”) is either paid to or received from the broker, and is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract when opened and the value of the contract when closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Aggressive Allocation Fund, Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund, Moderately Conservative Allocation Fund, Partner Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Stock Fund, Small Cap Index Fund, Mid Cap Index Fund, Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund, Large Cap Stock Fund, Large Cap Index Fund, Balanced Fund, High Yield Fund, Income Fund, Core Bond Fund and Limited Maturity Bond Fund engaged in this type of investment.

(K) Swap Agreements – Certain Funds enter into swap transactions, which involve swapping one or more investment characteristics of a security or a basket of securities with another party. Such transactions include market risk, risk of default by the other party to the transaction, risk of imperfect correlation and manager risk and may involve commissions or other costs. Swap transactions generally do not involve delivery of securities, other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to swap transactions generally is limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make, or in the case of the counterparty defaulting, the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. Periodic payments are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. The contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Periodic payments and receipts and payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held with the Trust’s custodian, or third party, in connection with these agreements.

Credit Default Swaps – A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of a particular issuer or reference entity. In a credit default swap transaction, a buyer pays periodic fees in return for payment by the seller which is contingent upon an adverse credit event occurring in the underlying issuer or referenced entity. The seller collects periodic fees from the buyer and profits if the credit of the underlying issuer or reference entity remains stable or improves while the swap is outstanding, but the seller in a credit default swap contract would be required to pay the amount of credit loss, determined as specified in the agreement, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event in the reference entity. A buyer of a credit default swap is said to buy protection whereas a seller of a credit default swap is said to sell protection. The Funds may be either the protection seller or the protection buyer. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Balanced Fund, High Yield Fund, Income Fund, Core Bond Fund and Limited Maturity Bond Fund engaged in this type of investment.

Total Rate of Return Swaps – A total rate of return swap is an agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset plus any capital gains and losses over the payment period. The underlying asset is typically an index, loan or a basket of assets. Total rate of return swaps provide the Funds with the additional flexibility of gaining exposure to a market or securities index by using the most cost-effective vehicle available. During the year ended October 31, 2008, no funds engaged in this type of investment.

Interest Rate Swaps – An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates. Typically, one party pays a fixed-rate for a specific period while the other pays a variable-rate based on an underlying index for the same period. Interest rate swaps allow the Funds to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Limited Maturity Bond Fund engaged in this type of investment.

(L) Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions – Certain Funds enter into dollar roll transactions on securities issued or to be issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, in which the Funds sell mortgage securities and simultaneously agree to repurchase similar (same type and coupon) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. The Funds must maintain liquid securities having a value not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest) for such dollar rolls. The market value of the securities that the Funds are required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.

During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Funds forgo principal and interest paid on the mortgage securities sold. The Funds are compensated from negotiated fees paid by brokers offered as an inducement to the Funds to “roll over” their purchase commitments, thus enhancing their yield. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new purchase and repurchase price and a cash settlement made on settlement date without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The fees received are recognized over the roll period and are included in Income from mortgage dollar rolls in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Balanced Fund, Income Fund, Core Bond Fund and Limited Maturity Bond Fund engaged in this type of investment.

(M) Securities Lending – The Trust has entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dresdner Bank AG (“Dresdner”). The Agreement authorizes Dresdner to lend securities to authorized borrowers on behalf of the Funds. Pursuant to the Agreement, all loaned securities are initially collateralized by cash equal to at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities. All cash collateral received is invested in Thrivent Financial Securities Lending Trust. The Funds receive dividends and interest that would have been earned on the securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. Amounts earned on investments in Thrivent Financial Securities Lending Trust, net of rebates, fees paid to Dresdner for services provided and any other securities lending expenses, are included in Income from securities loaned on the Statement of Operations. By investing any cash collateral it receives in these transactions, a Fund could realize additional gains or losses. If the borrower fails to return the securities or the invested collateral has declined in value, the Fund could lose money. As of October 31, 2008, all

(N) When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions – Certain Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, a Fund will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. A Fund may dispose of a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When a Fund has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, a Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

(O) Treasury Inflation Protected Securities – Certain Funds may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). These securities are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The interest rate is generally fixed at issuance. Interest is paid based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount will be included as taxable interest in the Statement of Operations and received upon maturity or sale of the security. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Balanced Fund, Income Fund, Core Bond Fund and Limited Maturity Bond Fund engaged in this type of investment.

(P) Repurchase Agreements – Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions in pursuit of its investment objective. A repurchase agreement consists of a purchase and a simultaneous agreement to resell an investment for later delivery at an agreed upon price and rate of interest. The Fund must take possession of collateral either directly or through a third-party custodian. If the original seller of a security subject to a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security at the agreed upon time, the Fund could incur a loss due to a drop in the market value of the security during the time it takes the Fund to either sell the security or take action to enforce the original seller’s agreement to repurchase the security. Also, if a defaulting original seller filed for bankruptcy or became insolvent, disposition of such security might be delayed by pending legal action. The Fund may only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions such as broker/dealers that are found by the Funds’ investment adviser Thrivent Asset Management, LLC (“Thrivent Asset Mgt.” or the “Adviser”) or subadviser to be creditworthy. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Mid Cap Stock Fund, Partner International Stock Fund, Large Cap Stock Fund, High Yield Fund and Core Bond Fund engaged in these types of investments.

(Q) Equity-Linked Structured Securities – Certain funds may invest in equity-linked structured notes. Equity-linked structured notes are debt securities which combine the characteristics of common stock and the sale of an option. The return component is based upon the performance of a single equity security, a basket of equity securities, or an equity index and the sale of an option which is recognized as income. There is no guaranteed return of principal with these securities. The appreciation potential of these securities may be limited by a maximum payment or call right and can be influenced by many unpredictable factors. During the year ended October 31, 2008, Balanced Fund, Core Bond Fund and Limited Maturity Bond Fund engaged in this type of investment.

(R) Credit Risk – The Funds may be susceptible to credit risk to the extent an issuer or counterparty defaults on its payment obligation. The Funds’ policy is to monitor the creditworthiness of issuers. Interest receivable on defaulted securities is monitored for ability to collect payments in default and is adjusted accordingly.

(S) Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(T) Temporary Guarantee Program – The Trust, on behalf of Thrivent Money Market Fund, was a participant in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) during the Program’s initial phase from September 19, 2008 through December 18, 2008. The U.S. Treasury has extended the Program until April 30, 2009. Details of Thrivent Money Market Fund’s participation in the extended Program is discussed below.

The Program guarantees the share price of a fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008, at $1.00 per share. Persons who were not shareholders as of September 19, 2008, are not covered by the Program.

The guarantee under the Program would be triggered if a fund’s per share net asset value falls below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) and the fund commences the process of liquidation. Under the terms of the Program, the U.S. Treasury guarantees payment to each eligible shareholder the difference between the amount received in liquidation and the amount that eligible shareholder would have received had the net asset value of the fund been $1.00 per share. If the number of shares held by the eligible shareholder in a participating fund fluctuates over the duration of the Program, the Program would cover the lesser of (i) the number of shares held by the eligible shareholder in the fund as of September 19, 2008, or (ii) the number of shares held by the eligible shareholder as of the date of the Guarantee Event.

To participate in the initial phase of the Program, Thrivent Money Market Fund was required to pay an initial participation fee in the amount of 0.01% of the total net assets of the Fund as of September 19, 2008. The program was initially scheduled to remain in effect until December 18, 2008, but, as was stated earlier, the U.S. Treasury has extended the Program until April 30, 2009. The Fund applied to participate in the extension of the Program and was required to pay an extended participation fee of 0.015% of the total net assets of the Fund as of September 19, 2008.

(U) Unfunded Loan Commitment – Certain Funds may enter into loan commitments, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. Therefore, the Fund must have funds sufficient to cover its contractual obligation. These unfunded loan commitments, which are marked to market daily, are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

(V) Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157 – Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). The objective of the statement is to improve the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements used in financial reporting. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of October 31, 2008, management of the Fund does not believe that the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the financial statement amounts. However, additional disclosures may be required describing the inputs used to develop the fair value measurements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 – Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. The provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

In September 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 – Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees (“FSP 133-1”). FSP 133-1 amends FASB Statement No. 133 to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including hybrid instruments that have credit derivatives embedded in them. The disclosures will include current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, as well as certain additional information, such as the nature and term of the credit derivative, the reason for entering into it, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under the derivative arrangement and the fair value of the credit derivative. The provisions are effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FSP 133-1 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

(W) Other – For financial statement purposes, investment security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on a specific cost identification basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

The Trust has entered into an agreement with Thrivent Financial Investor Services Inc. (“Thrivent Investor Services”) to provide the Funds with transfer agent services. For the year ended October 31, 2008, Thrivent Investor Services received $16,504,090 for transfer agent services from the Trust.

Each Trustee is eligible to participate in a deferred compensation plan with respect to fees received from the Funds. Participants in the plan may designate their deferred Trustee’s fees as if invested in any one of the Thrivent Mutual Funds. The value of each Trustee’s deferred compensation account will increase or decrease as if invested in shares designated to the selected Thrivent Mutual Funds. The deferred fees remain in the appropriate Fund until distribution in accordance with the plan. The deferred fee liability is an unsecured liability.

Those Trustees not participating in the above plan received $206,464 in fees from the Trust for the year ended October 31, 2008. No remuneration has been paid by the Trust to any of the officers or affiliated Trustees of the Trust. In addition, the Trust reimbursed unaffiliated Trustees for reasonable expenses incurred in relation to attendance at the meetings and industry conferences.

Certain officers and non-independent trustees of the Funds are officers and directors of Thrivent Asset Mgt., Thrivent Investment Mgt., and Thrivent Investor Services; however, they receive no compensation from the Funds.

(E) Indirect Expenses – Some Funds invest in other mutual funds. Fees and expenses of those underlying funds are not included in those Funds’ expense ratios. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds in which they invest.

(4) TAX INFORMATION

Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with the applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were made as follows [Increase/(Decrease)]:

(B) Investments in Restricted Securities – Certain Funds may own restricted securities that have been deemed illiquid and were purchased in private placement transactions without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Unless such securities subsequently become registered, they generally may be resold only in privately negotiated transactions with a limited number of purchasers. As of October 31, 2008, the following funds held restricted securities:

Limited Maturity Bond

The Funds have no right to require registration of unregistered securities.

(C) Investments in High-Yielding Securities – High Yield Fund invests primarily in high-yielding fixed-income securities. Each of the other Funds, except Money Market Fund, may also invest in high-yielding securities. These securities will typically be in the lower rating categories or will be non-rated and generally will involve more risk than securities in the higher rating categories. Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk and credit risk than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates.

(D) Investments in Options and Futures Contracts – The movement in the price of the security underlying an option or futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the movement in the prices of the portfolio securities being hedged. A lack of correlation could render the Fund’s hedging strategy unsuccessful and could result in a loss to the Fund. In the event that a liquid secondary market would not exist, the Fund could be prevented from entering into a closing transaction, which could result in additional losses to the Fund.

(E) Written Option Contracts – The number of contracts and premium amounts associated with call option contracts written during the year ended October 31, 2008, were as follows:

(6) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS

The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, during the year ended October 31, 2008, the Funds engaged in purchases and sales of securities of $57,668,607 and $17,775,135, respectively.
