Frequently Asked Questions

More details about this investment option from Thrivent.

What assets can be included in a managed account?

Thrivent’s managed account programs offer portfolios containing a variety of asset classes and investment options, including:

  • Stocks
  • Bonds
  • Mutual funds
  • Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)

Like most mutual funds, ETFs offer access to professional portfolio managers and broad diversification. But, like stocks, they can be traded throughout the day. That means fund managers of accounts containing stocks or ETFs can react to market fluctuations as they occur.


How does an accounts asset mix change, over time?

At various times, a managed account’s assets may be adjusted, based on economic factors and the goals you want to achieve with the program.


Do I approve every change in my account’s asset mix?

Your involvement in decisions about asset reallocation depends on the managed account program you select. Options available through Thrivent’s Managed Accounts Program include:

Discretionary accounts

An authorized investment advisor representative (your Thrivent financial advisor, Envestnet “Platform Manager”, or Sub-Manager) may buy, sell and trade assets without securing your approval for each transaction.

Nondiscretionary accounts

Every purchase, sale or trade requires your prior approval.


How much money do I need to open a managed account?

Each managed account program has its own minimum investment requirement. No accounts within Thrivent’s Managed Accounts Program may be opened with a total market value of less than $25,000.


How are account fees calculated?

Generally, a managed account’s annual fees are based on a percentage of the market value of the Eligible Program Assets in the Account as of the last business day of the end of the quarter. Other fees may apply, as well.

Investing involves risks, including the possible loss of principal. The product and summary prospectuses for applicable securities (including mutual funds held in an account) and the Thrivent Investment Management Inc.

Eligible program assets may consist of Thrivent Mutual Funds. Thrivent Asset Management, LLC serves as investment manager for Thrivent Mutual Funds and receives a management fee for its services, as disclosed in the applicable funds’ prospectuses. Thrivent Investment Management Inc. ("Thrivent") and its affiliates may earn distribution and other fees in connection with Thrivent Mutual Funds. These fees are in addition to the investment advisory fee you pay quarterly for the Impact, Advisor, Advisor Guided, SELECT, Income-Focused and Unified Managed accounts.

For all funds and investments, other fees may apply. Fees and expenses vary by fund and are described in the applicable funds’ prospectuses. Depending on certain factors, including but not limited to your holding period, you may pay more or less in total fees in a Managed Accounts Program versus paying separately for services, such as the purchase of a mutual fund with a sales load.
