SIGNIFICANT

ACCOUNTING

POLICIES

Valuation

of

Investments 

—

Securities

traded

on

U.S.

or

foreign

securities

exchanges

or

included

in

a

national

market

system

are

valued

at

the

last

sale

price

on

the

principal

exchange

as

of

the

close

of

regular

trading

on

such

exchange

or

the

official

closing

price

of

the

national

market

system.  Over-the-counter

securities

and

listed

securities

for

which

no

price

is

readily

available

are

valued

at

the

current

bid

price

considered

best

to

represent

the

value

at

that

time.

Security

prices

are

based

on

quotes

that

are

obtained

from

an

independent

pricing

service

approved

by

the

Fund’s

Board.

The

pricing

service,

in

determining

values

of

fixed-income

securities,

takes

into

consideration

such

factors

as

current

quotations

by

broker/dealers,

coupon,

maturity,

quality,

type

of

issue,

trading

characteristics,

and

other

yield

and

risk

factors

it

deems

relevant

in

determining

valuations.

Securities

which

cannot

be

valued

by

the

approved

pricing

service

are

valued

using

valuations

obtained

from

dealers

that

make

markets

in

the

securities. Investments

in

open-ended

mutual

funds

are

valued

at

the

net

asset

value

at

the

close

of

each

business

day.

    All

church

loan

valuations

are

considered

fair

valuations

due

to

the

lack

of

observable

market

activity

or

independent

market

quotes. 

There

are

no

market

prices

available

for

church

loans. 

The Fund's

Investment

Adviser,

Thrivent

Asset

Management,

LLC

("Thrivent

Asset

Mgt." or the

"Adviser"), has

approved

two

methodologies

for

fair

valuing

church

loans:

a

Market

Approach

or

an

Income

Approach. 

The

Market

Approach

utilizes

a

process

that

takes

into

consideration

factors

including

principal

amount,

interest

rate,

term,

credit

quality

of

the

borrower,

prepayment

speeds, and

credit

spreads

based

on

market

transactions. 

The

Income

Approach

is

utilized

when

it

is

probable

that

the

church

loan

will

become

subject

to

foreclosure

and

takes

into

consideration

factors

including

the

estimated

value

of

property

securing

the

loan,

estimated

cost

of

disposition

of

the

property

and

estimated

time

to

dispose

of

the

property. 

The Board

may

use

a

third

party

vendor

to

execute

the

daily

valuation

methodology

or

the

Valuation

Committee

("Committee"),

further

described

below,

may

make

a

fair

valuation

determination.

The

Board

has

delegated

responsibility

for

daily

valuation

of

the

Fund's

securities

to

the Adviser.

The

Adviser

has

formed

a Committee

that

is

responsible

for

overseeing

the

Fund's

valuation process

in

accordance

with

Valuation

Policies

and

Procedures.

The

Committee

meets monthly

and

on

an

as-needed

basis

to

review

price

challenges,

price

overrides,

stale

prices,

shadow

prices,

manual

prices, and

other

securities

requiring

fair

valuation. 

The

Committee

monitors significant

events

occurring

prior

to

the

close

of

trading

on

the

New

York

Stock

Exchange

that

could

have

a

material

impact

on

the

value

of

any

securities

that

are

held

by

the

Fund.

Examples

of

such

events

include

trading

halts,

national

news/events,

and

issuer-specific

developments.

If

the

Committee

decides

that

such

events

warrant the

use

of fair

value

estimates,

the

Committee

will

take

such

events

into

consideration

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

such

securities.

If

market

quotations

or

prices

are

not

readily

available

or

are

determined

to

be

unreliable,

the

securities

will

be

valued

at

fair

value

as

determined

in

good

faith

pursuant

to

procedures

adopted

by

the

Board.

In

accordance

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America

("GAAP"),

the

various

inputs

used

to

determine

the

fair

value

of

the

Fund's

investments

are

summarized

in

three

broad

levels.  Level

1

includes

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

securities,

typically

included

in

this

level

are

U.S.

equity

securities,

futures,

options

and

registered

investment

company

funds.  Level

2

includes

other

significant

observable

inputs

such

as

quoted

prices

for

similar

securities,

interest

rates,

prepayment

speeds

and

credit

risk,

typically

included

in

this

level

are

fixed

income

securities,

international

securities,

swaps

and

forward

contracts.  Level

3

includes

significant

unobservable

inputs

such

as

the

Adviser’s

own

assumptions

and

broker

evaluations

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

investments.

The

valuation

levels

are

not

necessarily

an

indication

of

the

risk

associated

with

investing

in

these

securities

or

other

investments. 

Investments

measured

using

net

asset

value

per

share

as

a

practical

expedient

for

fair

value

and

that

are

not

publicly

available

for

sale

are

not

categorized

within

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

the

Fund's

policy

regarding

valuation

of

investments

and

other

significant

accounting

policies

can

Fund's

most

recent

annual

or

semiannual
