The Thrivent Managed Accounts Program offers financial professionals a simple and effective way to build their practices while offering their clients a high level of professional portfolio management. The Thrivent Managed Account Program is offered by Thrivent Asset Management, LLC which serves as the investment adviser for the Thrivent Mutual Funds.
Also known as model portfolios, managed accounts are actively-managed portfolios of mutual funds that can be geared to the specific risk and return objectives of your clients.
As a financial professional, you can help your clients determine which model works best for their unique situations. Once that decision is made, you simply allocate their assets to the appropriate managed account and let the Thrivent investment team handle the day-to-day decisions in the model portfolios.
The managed accounts solution offers several key advantages:
Thrivent offers a variety of model portfolios to meet the varied time horizons, risk tolerances, and income needs and goals of most investors. The portfolios are designed with a complete investor life cycle in mind from growth of assets to retirement income.
The Thrivent Managed Accounts Program features ten options: five SELECT models that focus on accumulation, three Faith-Based models that focus on accumulation and seek to integrate finances with faith, and two Income-Focused models designed to generate income. (See chart below.)
You and your clients can expect advice, due diligence and timely information through the managed accounts program to assist you in communicating with your clients.
