The new ETFs are built on Thrivent’s investment expertise and long‑term approach

MINNEAPOLIS (June 15, 2026)—Thrivent, a Fortune 500 financial services company, today announced the launch of two international equity exchange‑traded funds (ETFs), expanding its presence in the growing ETF marketplace and providing investors with access to global equity opportunities.

The new offerings include the Thrivent International Large Cap ETF (NASDAQ: TILC) and the Thrivent International Small Cap ETF (NASDAQ: TISC).

• TILC is a conversion of the Thrivent Core International Equity Fund.
• TISC draws on Thrivent’s experience managing international small cap equities in an internal sleeve across several Thrivent funds and portfolios.

Both ETFs will be managed by Jing Wang, CFA, Noah Monsen, CFA, and Shu Guo, who bring deep expertise in international equity markets.

“We continue to see growing interest in ETFs from both investors and advisors because of their unique attributes, including flexibility and tax efficiency,” said Mike Kremenak, president of Thrivent Funds. “ETFs are increasingly being used as core building blocks in portfolios, with international strategies helping diversify beyond U.S. equities.”

“These new ETFs build on Thrivent’s established investment expertise and take a quantitative approach grounded in research and active management. We believe these solutions can help deliver the diversification and long-term value investors are looking for.”

The portfolio management team uses a disciplined investment process powered by proprietary models to analyze large data sets and identify opportunities across international large and small cap equities. They evaluate a range of factors, time horizons and modeling techniques to build a well-diversified portfolio designed to outperform over time. Throughout the process, portfolio managers apply their judgment to help balance risk and expected return as they manage and refine the models.

Thrivent’s ETF suite has continued to grow as part of the financial services company’s strategy to expand its investment product suite. The company currently offers seven ETFs with total assets under management exceeding $2 billion (as of 4/30/26), spanning equity and fixed income strategies.

Investing involves risks, including the possible loss of principal. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain more complete information on the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund, and other information, which investors should read and consider carefully before investing.

Investments in international securities are subject to market, equity, and foreign securities risk, including economic, political, and market structure risks, particularly in emerging markets. Equity securities of both large and smaller companies may be volatile; large companies may be slower to respond to competitive challenges and may have lower growth potential, while smaller companies may experience greater price volatility and reduced liquidity. Exposure to specific regions, sectors, or investment styles may increase volatility. Each ETF is newly formed and has a limited operating history.

Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses.
