57 fund families qualified for the 2018 Barron’s Fund Family Ranking based on asset-weighted performance.Thrivent Mutual Funds was
ranked #4 of 57 for one year, #3 of 55 for five years and #16 of 49 for 10 years for the periods ending 12/31/2018.
Barron’s Methodology: To qualify for the Barron’s Fund Family Rankings, a firm must have at least three funds in Lipper’s general U.S. equity category(includes single sector
and country equity funds), one in world equity (which combines global and international funds), one mixed-asset fund (such as a balanced or target-date fund), two taxable
bond funds and one national tax-exempt bond fund. These funds must have a minimum track record of one year. Annual management fees of the funds are included in the
returns calculations, but 12b-1, fund loads or sales charges are not included. Passive index funds are excluded from the rankings. Each fund’s performance is measured against
all of the other funds in its Lipper category, with a percentile ranking of 100 being the highest and one the lowest. This result is then weighted by assetfunds hurts a firm’s
ranking. Finally, the score is multiplied by the weighting of its general classification, as determined by the entire Lipper universe of funds. The category weightings for the one-
year results in 2018 were general equity, 34.8%; mixed asset, 21.3%; world equity, 17.1%; taxable bond, 22.4%; and tax-exempt bond, 4.4%. The category weightings for the
five-year results were general equity, 35.9%; mixed asset, 19.7%; world equity, 17.3%; taxable bond, 22.5%; and tax-exempt bond, 4.5%. For the 10-year list, they were general
equity, 37.1%; mixed asset, 20%; world equity, 16.7%; taxable bond, 21.2%; and tax-exempt bond, 4.9%. Source: Barron’s Best Mutual Fund Families publication dated March
