About

Thrivent Investment Management delivers Dedicated Planning Services to individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit clients through a network of Financial Advisors, offering the engagement either as a one‑time or an ongoing planning relationship; the brochure notes the service has been provided since 1998. Written recommendations address a broad set of topics—including retirement, income tax, estate, business continuation, divorce and special needs planning—but implementation of recommendations is not included in the Dedicated Planning Service.

The firm develops holistic, goal‑based analyses using modeling tools and client‑provided information, and allows clients to combine planning with its managed‑account program under a consolidated billing option called “WealthPlan,” while keeping the planning and managed‑account services separate. Thrivent states it does not accept discretionary trading authority for the Dedicated Planning Service, conducts periodic (typically annual) reviews of recommendations, and relies on Financial Advisors (who may also be insurance producers) to deliver and update plans.

Notably for a large institutional adviser, Thrivent does not provide portfolio management for institutional clients nor serve as a selector of other advisers for institutional mandates, which is an uncommon profile among comparable firms. The brochure also emphasizes potential conflicts when clients implement recommendations through Thrivent or its affiliates, describes advisor compensation and loan programs, and discloses past regulatory reviews and remediation steps alongside its specialized planning offerings.
