What is a dividend?

A dividend is money that’s distributed when a company performs better than expected.

Thrivent is a not-for-profit, membership-owned fraternal organization with no shareholders to answer to. So, a portion of our profits is paid to eligible clients–our owners–in the form of dividends.

Dividends FAQ

What is a dividend?
A dividend is money that’s distributed when a company performs better than expected. You may be familiar with dividends that are paid out to stock company shareholders. But as a not-for-profit fraternal organization that’s owned by our membership, we don’t have shareholders. So, our dividends are paid out to eligible clients as a way to share in our success. When our actual results are better than what we expected they would be, we’re able to distribute some of our surplus to our clients—the owners—in the form of dividends.
Who is eligible to receive a dividend?
Owners of participating Thrivent products may be eligible to receive a dividend.
What can you do with a dividend?
Depending on the type of policy you have and the dividend option you’ve selected, you could be 
able to:
  • Reinvest your dividends to increase your policy’s death benefit and cash value
  • Use the dividends to reduce your premiums
  • Take a cash payout of your dividends
How are dividends calculated?
Every year, the Thrivent Board of Directors determines how much of our surplus to set aside for growth of the company and to protect the ability to meet ongoing and future claims and other obligations. The remainder is distributed as dividends to the policies that contributed to the surplus.
Once the total dividend is determined, the amount each insurance policy owner receives reflects how their product contributed to Thrivent’s surplus.
The allocation of dividends is not based on the ups and downs of the market, but rather on a long-term view of how Thrivent policies performed across several factors, including:
  • How many insurance claims we paid compared to how many we expected to pay;
  • Performance of our underlying investments; and
  • How much it actually cost to do business versus what we anticipated.
Dividends are not guaranteed and do not apply to all products or clients.

Policy enhancements refer to improvements in non-guaranteed policy features such as future credited rates or fees. These enhancements are not guaranteed in the future.
