TABLEOF CONTENTS
Dear Shareholder:
It has been a productive year for your Thrivent Mutual Funds.
Before reviewing some of the accomplishments, I’d like to thank all of you who voted in our trustee elections. Our shareholder meeting was held August 14 at our offices in Minneapolis, and a few of you attended in person. It was a delight to speak face-to-face and hear your thoughts about your Funds and Thrivent Financial.
I know it can be an imposition to receive a proxy statement in the mail asking you to vote your shares. I also understand that most of you would prefer not to be called at home by someone asking you to vote. We appreciate it when you take the time to participate in the governance of your Thrivent Mutual Funds. When you vote promptly, you reduce the need for us to do additional soliciting of voters to achieve a legally required quorum, which helps hold down the costs of your Funds.
Beyond all that, your participation in these votes is critical to the management of the Funds. Unlike many other companies, mutual funds aren’t required to elect directors or trustees annually. (Some mutual funds are corporations and have directors. Some, like Thrivent Mutual Funds, are trusts and have trustees. There’s no practical difference from a shareholder’s perspective.) But mutual funds are legally required to have a majority of their trustees elected by shareholders. Although your board can appoint some new trustees as needed—to replace a trustee who is retiring, for example—every so often it must call a shareholder meeting to elect trustees, simply to comply with the law.
Because mailing proxy materials and holding shareholder meetings creates costs for your Funds, and because we’d rather not impose on you more frequently than necessary, we always try to combine trustee elections with other items that require a shareholder vote. At our shareholder meeting in August, shareholders approved changes to the investment advisory fee structure for our flagship Asset Allocation Funds. We’ve heard from you, our shareholders, that you prefer simple, transparent fees, and that’s what these changes are intended to accomplish. They also are expected to result in lower net annual operating expenses for the Asset Allocation Funds, which would benefit all of their shareholders.
In my last president’s letter, I wrote about the 10-year anniversary of the Asset Allocation Funds, which were launched on June 30, 2005. We continue to be proud of these Funds, which we believe offer a simple, all-in-one investment solution for many investors, one that is aligned with each investor’s tolerance for risk.
The performance of the Asset Allocation Funds has been competitive. Lipper, a Thomson Reuters company, is a well-known firm that tracks and compares mutual fund performance. Each of our four Asset Allocation Funds ranked above its Lipper peer group average for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2015. Overall, 86% of our Funds ranked above their respective Lipper peer group averages for the one-year period, and 68% ranked above their respective Lipper peer group averages for the three-year period.
There will be periods, of course, in which our Funds, including the Asset Allocation Funds, underperform relative to their peers. You can be certain, however, that we will always take a long-term view of performance and seek to provide consistently competitive returns over time. I look forward to updating you on our progress.
Many thanks to each of you for your confidence in Thrivent Mutual Funds. Best wishes to you and yours in 2016.
Sincerely,

David S. Royal
President

All rankings are based on total return and do not reflect sales charges. The lower the Lipper percentile ranking, the better the fund performance against its peers. Source for ranking is Lipper Inc. After analyzing each fund’s holdings and prospectus objectives, Lipper assigns the fund to a category or peer group called a Lipper classification. Once total return data has been calculated, Lipper ranks the relative performance of all funds in a particular classification against their respective peer group constituents, and then calculates percentile rankings based on those numerical rankings.
Performance data cited represents past performance and should not be viewed as an indication of future results. Investment return and principal value of the investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Risks: The Asset Allocation Funds invest in other Thrivent Mutual Funds and in directly held equity and debt instruments. Each Fund is subject to its own fees and expenses and the expenses of the other funds in which it invests, and is subject to all of the risks of the other funds in which it invests. The value of each Fund is influenced by factors impacting the overall market, certain asset classes, certain investment styles, and specific issuers. Each Fund may incur losses due to incorrect assessments of investments by its investment adviser. Foreign investments involve addition-al risks, including currency fluctuations, liquidity, political, economic and market instability, and different legal and accounting standards. Bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may not pay its debt, and high yield securities are subject to increased credit risk as well as liquidity risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures and swaps) involves additional risks and transaction costs, which could leave each Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments.
Investing in a mutual fund involves risks, including the possible loss of principal. The prospectus contains more complete information on the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund, which investors should read and consider carefully before investing.

Dear Shareholder:
Financial markets delivered mixed results in 2015, pressured by slowing economic growth in China and plunging oil prices. The investment outlook is generally positive, although many of the issues that weighed on markets in 2015 could temper returns again in 2016.
Economic Review
The U.S. economy continued its slow but persistent recovery in 2015, expanding at a 2.2% average annual pace through the first three quarters of the year. Gains from strong consumer spending and a vibrant housing market were offset in part by sluggish business spending and exports. The job market improved. Employers created more than 2.6 million nonfarm jobs, and the unemployment rate fell to 5.0% from 5.7%.
Inflation and interest rates remained low, although the Federal Reserve, after holding short-term interest rates near 0% for seven years to help the economy, raised them by a quarter of a percentage point in December.
China grew 7% year-over-year in the first two quarters of the year, then 6.9% in the third. That far exceeded growth rates in the developed world—the euro area grew 0.3% in the third quarter, while Japan contracted 0.8%—but it was still the slowest rate of growth for China since the 2008 financial crisis. Investors worried this slowdown could derail other economies; they also blamed it for reducing demand for oil and other commodities that China had been consuming at a prodigious rate when it was growing faster. Crude oil prices fell to about $37 a barrel by year-end from above $100 in 2014.
Market Review
Judging strictly by market averages, U.S. stocks had an unremarkable year. The S&P 500 Index fell 14.97 points, or 0.7%, its first price decline since 2011, but still posted a positive total return of 1.38% after factoring in reinvested dividends. However, these numbers don’t reflect how volatile the stock market became as the year wore on, highlighted by an 11% plunge in the S&P 500 Index in August after China devalued its currency. Energy stocks were among the index’s worst performers, down nearly 24% in price, while consumer discretionary stocks rose 8.4%.
Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average rose 10.63% on a price basis, as Japan’s central bank bought financial assets to prop up the economy. In Europe, the Euro Stoxx 50 Index of blue chip stocks posted a total return of -4.47%, although that loss, reflecting returns to dollar-based investors, was largely due to declines in the value of the euro against the dollar. In euro terms, the index actually earned 6.42%. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index lost -14.92%.
Like stocks, bonds delivered mixed results, with lower-risk and intermediate-term assets generally performing best. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, dominated by U.S. Treasury bonds and other government-backed securities, earned 0.55%, and the Barclays Municipal Bond Index earned 3.3%. The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, home to many below-investment-grade energy bonds, lost 4.47%.
Our Outlook
The U.S. economy looks poised to continue growing in the 2% range in 2016. We anticipate growth of about 1% for Japan, 2% for the euro area, 3% for the U.K., and 6% for China.
The Fed likely will continue to nudge short-term interest rates higher, albeit at a modest pace with minimal disruptions to financial markets. Inflation could edge slightly higher if, as expected, oil prices begin to stabilize.
Overall, we anticipate modestly positive returns from financial assets, absent any material worsening in China’s economy or further weakness in oil prices. European stocks have an opportunity to outperform U.S. shares. Both were expensive heading into 2016, but corporate profit margins had more room to grow in Europe. Emerging market stocks are cheaper than stocks in developed economies, but look riskier pending improvements in commodities prices.
Select sectors of the bond market appear promising—despite the prospect of higher short-term interest rates—including investment-grade corporate bonds and municipal bonds. High-yield bonds will likely remain depressed until the oil market shows signs of stabilizing.
If you are concerned about the investment outlook, we encourage you to contact your Thrivent Financial representative. He or she can help keep your portfolio aligned with your goals and tolerance for risk. Meanwhile, thank you for the trust you have placed in our entire team of professionals at Thrivent Asset Management.

THRIVENT GROWTHAND INCOME PLUS FUND
Stephen D. Lowe, CFA, Darren M. Bagwell, CFA, Mark L. Simenstad, CFA, Noah J. Monson, CFA, Reginald L. Pfeifer, CFA, Portfolio Co-Managers
Thrivent Growth and Income Plus Fund seeks long-term capital growth and income.
The Fund invests in debt securities and equity securities. The value of the Fund is influenced by factors impacting the overall market, certain asset classes, certain investment styles, and specific issuers. The Fund may incur losses due to incorrect assessments of investments by its investment adviser. Bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a debt security may not pay its debt, and high yield securities are subject to increased credit risk as well as liquidity risk. Leveraged loans, REITs, preferred securities, sovereign debt, and mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to additional risks. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuations, liquidity, political, economic and market instability, and different legal and accounting standards; these risks are magnified for investments in emerging markets. An ETF is subject to additional fees and expenses, tracking error, and the risks of the underlying investments that it holds. The use of derivatives (such as futures and swaps) involves additional risks and transaction costs, which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments.
How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2015?
Thrivent Growth and Income Plus Fund earned a return of -1.03%, compared with the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth category, of -1.25%. The Fund’s market benchmarks, the MSCI World Index-USD Net Returns, the Barclays U.S. High Yield Loan Index and the Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, earned returns of -0.87%, -0.82% and 1.51%, respectively.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance?
The investment climate became increasingly risk-averse as the year wore on amid concerns about slowing economic growth in China, a steep slide in oil prices, and the prospect of higher short-term interest rates in the U.S. The Fund, which allocates about 70% of its assets to equities and 30% to fixed-income securities, generated modestly positive returns before expenses from both groups.
The equity portion of the Fund was invested in three sectors: international equities, domestic equities and real estate investment trusts (REITs). In all three, the Fund outperformed industry benchmarks. International holdings benefited from a focus on low-volatility stocks of companies with consistent earnings, solid free cash flow, and low debt. Domestic stock holdings benefited from strong security selection, with technology and health care stocks posting the largest absolute and relative returns. REITs also benefited from strong security selection, with data centers, multi-family apartments and self-storage REITs among the sector’s best performers.
Fixed-income markets were driven primarily by two factors in 2015: expectations that the Fed would raise short-term interest rates, which it did by a quarter of a percentage point in December; and the slump in oil prices. The Fed’s move constrained returns at the short end of the yield curve, while the slide in oil prices, which was linked to concerns about China’s economic stamina, pressured returns for below-investment-grade credits, particularly among energy issues in the high-yield sector.
By contrast, the Fund’s high-yield holdings generated modestly positive returns (before Fund expenses), largely by virtue of being concentrated in the sector’s higher-rated bonds. Elsewhere, the Fund’s securitized assets outperformed their benchmark due both to favorable security selection and a material allocation to nonagency mortgage-backed securities, which substantially outperformed the agency mortgage-backed securities that dominate the sector’s benchmark.
The Fund underperformed its benchmarks for investment-grade corporate bonds, leveraged loans and emerging-market bonds. Performance in the loan sector lagged due to an overweighted position in poor-performing energy, mining and metals issues. Returns on investment-grade corporate bonds lagged due to being underweighted in the banking industry, which did relatively well, and overweighted in BBB-rated securities, which did not. In emerging markets, the Fund suffered from having little exposure to Ukraine and Russia, both of which performed well after hostilities between those two countries eased.
What is your outlook?
Stocks in most developed economies were expensive as 2015 drew to a close. European shares could outperform U.S. shares in 2016 as corporate profit margins have more room to grow in Europe. Emerging market stocks are cheaper than stocks in developed markets, but still riskier pending improvements in commodities prices. REITs look reasonably attractive, not only because they are generating strong funds from operations but also because they will become their own investment sector in 2016 under the Global Industry Classification Standard, which could broaden their appeal to institutional investors.
While no single sector of the fixed-income markets stands out as dramatically undervalued, the Fund’s broad diversification provides a range of opportunities for profits in some sectors to offset losses in others. For example, floating-rate leveraged loans hold their value better than fixed-rate bonds when interest rates are rising, and returns on securitized assets are driven by different factors than those impacting the high-yield sector. Half the Fund’s fixed-income assets are invested in leveraged bank loans, high-yield bonds and emerging market bonds, all of which will be sensitive to commodities price trends.
Overall, we expect modestly positive returns from financial assets in 2016, with risk greater to the downside than the upside—especially if China’s slowing growth weighs on other economies, or if commodities prices fail to improve.

THRIVENT DIVERSIFIED INCOME PLUS FUND

Thrivent Diversified Income Plus Fund seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
The Fund invests in debt securities and equity securities. The value of the Fund is influenced by factors impacting the overall market, certain asset classes, certain investment styles, and specific issuers. The Fund may incur losses due to incorrect assessments of investments by its investment adviser. Bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise.

The use of derivatives (such as futures and swaps) involves additional risks and transaction costs, which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments.
How did the Fund perform during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2015?
Thrivent Diversified Income Plus Fund earned a return of -0.62%, compared with the median return of its peer group, the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative category, of -1.56%. The Fund’s market benchmarks, the MSCI World Index-USD Net Returns, the Barclays U.S. High Yield Loan Index and the Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, earned returns of -0.87%, -0.82% and 1.51%, respectively.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur, depending on the Fund and share class, two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.
Actual Expenses
In the table below, the first section, labeled “Actual,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number from the appropriate Class line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid. A small account fee of $12 may be charged to Class A shareholder accounts if the value falls to an amount of $2,000 or less, in the case of a non-qualified account, and $1,000 or less, in the case of a qualified account. This fee is not included in the table below. If it were and you were assessed such a fee, the expenses you paid during the period would have been higher and the ending account value would have been lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
In the table below, the second section, labeled “Hypothetical,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small account fee of $12 may be charged to Class A shareholder accounts if the value falls to an amount of $2,000 or less, in the case of a non-qualified account, and $1,000 or less, in the case of a qualified account. This fee is not included in the table below. If it were and you were assessed such a fee, the expenses you paid during the period would have been higher and the ending account value would have been lower.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Credit Default Swaps and Counterparty | | Buy/Sell Protection1 | | | Termination Date | | | Notional Principal Amount2 | | | Value3 | | | Unrealized Gain/(Loss) | |

Total Credit Default Swaps | | | | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 5,862 | | | $ | 5,862 | |
1 | As the buyer of protection, Growth and Income Plus Fund pays periodic fees in return for payment by the seller which is contingent upon an adverse credit event occurring in the underlying issuer or reference entity. As the seller of protection, Growth and Income Plus Fund collects periodic fees from the buyer and profits if the credit of the underlying issuer or reference entity remains stable or improves while the swap is outstanding, but the seller in a credit default swap contract would be required to pay the amount of credit loss, determined as specified in the agreement, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event in the reference entity. |
2 | The maximum potential amount of future payments Growth and Income Plus Fund could be required to make as the seller or receive as the buyer of protection. |
3 | The values for credit indexes (CDX or LCDX) serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the liability or profit for the credit default swap contract had the contract been closed as of the reporting date. When protection has been sold, the value of the swap will increase when the swap spread declines representing an improvement in the reference entity’s credit worthiness. The value of the swap will decrease when the swap spread increases representing a deterioration in the reference entity’s credit worthiness. When protection has been purchased, the value of the swap will increase when the swap spread increases representing a deterioration in the reference entity’s credit worthiness. The value of the swap will decrease when the swap spread declines representing an improvement in the reference entity’s credit worthiness. |

THRIVENT MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
(1) ORGANIZATION
Thrivent Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust on March 10, 1987 and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is divided into twenty-one separate series each with its own investment objective and policies. The Trust currently consists of four asset allocation funds, four income plus funds, seven equity funds, five fixed-income funds, and one money market fund.
This shareholder report includes Thrivent Growth and Income Plus Fund and Thrivent Diversified Income Plus Fund (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), two of the Trust’s twenty-one Funds. The other Funds of the Trust have a fiscal year-end of October 31 and are presented under a separate shareholder report.
The Funds are each investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946—Financial Services—Investment Companies.
(A) Share Classes – As of December 31, 2015, the Trust includes two classes of shares: Class A and Institutional Class. The classes of shares differ principally in their respective distribution expenses and other class-specific expenses and arrangements. Class A shares have a 0.25% annual 12b-1 fee and a maximum front-end sales load of 5.50% for equity funds and 4.50% for fixed-income funds, although some of the fixed-income funds have reduced 12b-1 fees and either a lower or no front-end sales load. Institutional Class shares are offered at net asset value and have no annual 12b-1 fees. The share classes have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class-specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. All 21 Funds of the Trust offer Class A and Institutional Class shares. Effective February 1, 2016, Institutional Class shares were renamed Class S shares. Effective February 29, 2016, Class A Shares are closed to new shareholders and are open to current Class A shareholders and others who reside at the same mailing address (“household”). Effective February 29, 2016, the maximum front-end sales charge imposed on Class A Shares of equity funds has been changed from 5.50% to 4.50%. Please refer to the Supplement to Class A Shares Prospectus dated February 12, 2016 for additional information.
(B) Other – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with vendors and others that provide general damage clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Valuation of Investments – Securities traded on U.S. or foreign securities exchanges or included in a national market system are valued at the official closing price at the close of each business day unless otherwise stated below. 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 Trust’s Board of Trustees (“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. Exchange-listed options and futures contracts are valued at the last quoted sales price. Swap agreements are valued at the latest bid quotation of the contract as furnished by an independent pricing service. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by the pricing service. Investments in open-ended mutual funds are valued at the net asset value at the close of each business day. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value) to the extent it is not materially different than market value.
The Board has delegated responsibility for daily valuation of the Funds’ securities to the Adviser. The Adviser has formed a Valuation Committee (“Committee”) that is responsible for overseeing the Fund valuation policies in accordance with Valuation Policies and Procedures. The Committee meets on a monthly and on an as-needed basis to review price challenges, price overrides, stale prices, shadow prices, manual prices, money market pricing, international fair valuation, and other securities requiring fair valuation.
The Committee monitors for 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 Funds. Examples of such events include trading halts, national news/events, and issuer-specific developments. If the Committee decides that such events warrant using 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 determined to be unreliable, the securities will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board.

NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the various inputs used to determine the fair value of the Funds’ 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. Of the Level 3 securities, those for which market values were not readily available or were deemed unreliable were fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities or other investments.
Valuation of International Securities – Because many foreign markets close before the U.S. markets, events may occur between the close of the foreign markets and the close of the U.S. markets that could have a material impact on the valuation of foreign securities. The Funds, under the supervision of the Board, evaluate the impacts of these events and may adjust the valuation of foreign securities to reflect fair value as of the close of the U.S. markets. The Board has authorized the Adviser to make fair valuation determinations pursuant to policies approved by the Board.
(B) Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the daily closing rates of exchange.
Foreign currency amounts related to the purchase or sale of securities and income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Net realized and unrealized currency gains and losses are recorded from closed currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, exchange gains or losses between the trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, and other translation gains or losses on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes. The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations.
For federal income tax purposes, the Funds treat the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the changes in foreign exchange rates between the trade date and settlement date as ordinary income.
(C) Foreign Denominated Investments – Foreign denominated assets and currency contracts may involve more risks than domestic transactions including currency risk, political and economic risk, regulatory risk, and market risk. Certain Funds may also invest in securities of companies located in emerging markets. Future economic or political developments could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities.
(D) Federal Income Taxes – No provision has been made for income taxes because each Fund’s policy is to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and distribute substantially all investment company taxable income and net capital gain on a timely basis. It is also the intention of each Fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any federal excise tax. The Funds, accordingly, anticipate paying no federal taxes and no federal tax provision was recorded. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Certain Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.
GAAP requires management of the Funds (i.e., the Adviser) to make additional tax disclosures with respect to the tax effects of certain income tax positions, whether those positions were taken on previously filed tax returns or are expected to be taken on future returns. These positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that, based on the technical merits of the position, would have a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Adviser must presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
The Adviser analyzed all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities. Major jurisdictions for the Funds include U.S. Federal, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts as well as certain foreign countries. As of December 31, 2015, open U.S. Federal, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Massachusetts tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2012 through 2015. Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, the tax year ended December 31, 2011 is open for Wisconsin. The Funds have no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.
As of December 31, 2015, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no effect to the Funds’ tax liability, financial position or results of operations. There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

THRIVENT MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Foreign Income Taxes – Funds are subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which they invest. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. These amounts are shown as foreign tax withholding on the Statement of Operations. The Funds pay tax on foreign capital gains, where applicable.
(E) Expenses and Income – Estimated expenses are accrued daily. The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to them. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among all appropriate Funds in proportion to their respective net assets, number of shareholder accounts or other reasonable basis. Net investment income, expenses which are not class-specific, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated directly to each class based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares.
Interest income is recorded daily on all debt securities, as is accretion of market discount and original issue discount and amortization of premium. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. However, in certain foreign market where declaration of the dividend follows the ex-dividend date, the dividend will be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the declaration date.
For certain securities, including real estate investment trusts, the Trust records distributions received in excess of income as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available. Actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Trust adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions as adjustments to investment income, unrealized appreciation/depreciation and realized gain/ loss on investments as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
(F) Distributions to Shareholders – Net investment income is distributed to each shareholder as a dividend. Dividends from Growth and Income Plus Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from Diversified Income Plus Fund are declared and paid monthly. Additionally, it is possible that such dividends may be reclassified as return of capital or capital gains after year end. Such determination cannot be made until tax information is received from the real estate investments of the Fund. Net realized gains from securities transactions, if any, are distributed at least annually.
(G) Derivative Financial Instruments – Each of the Funds may invest in derivatives. Derivatives, a category that includes options, futures, swaps and hybrid instruments, are financial instruments whose value is derived from another security, an index or a currency. Each Fund may use derivatives for hedging (attempting to offset a potential loss in one position by establishing an interest in an opposite position). This includes the use of currency-based derivatives to manage the risk of its positions in foreign securities. Each Fund may also use derivatives for replication of a certain asset class or speculation (investing for potential income or capital gain). These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC).
A derivative may incur a mark to market loss if the value of the derivative decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying derivative. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the derivative. A Fund’s risk of loss from the counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund. With exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds because the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to such derivatives, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the derivative; thus, the credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds. Using derivatives to hedge can guard against potential risks, but it also adds to the Funds’ expenses and can eliminate some opportunities for gains. In addition, a derivative used for mitigating exposure or replication may not accurately track the value of the underlying asset. Another risk with derivatives is that some types can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative.
In order to define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically includes, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty
31
THRIVENT MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
certain derivatives’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy and insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral and margin requirements vary by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives (futures, options, and centrally cleared swaps). Brokers can ask for margining in excess of the minimum in certain situations. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, non-cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund has been noted in the Schedule of Investments. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Options – Each of the Funds may buy put and call options and write put and covered call options. The Funds intend to use such derivative instruments as hedges to facilitate buying or selling securities or to provide protection against adverse movements in security prices or interest rates. The Funds may also enter into options contracts to protect against adverse foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. A Fund will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds upon sale for a written call option or the cost of a security for purchased put and call options is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
Buying put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security while buying call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. There is no significant counterparty risk on exchange-traded options as the exchange guarantees the contract against default. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security while writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security. The writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying security may be bought or sold, and therefore bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security. The counterparty risk for purchased options arises when a Fund has purchased an option, exercises that option, and the counterparty doesn’t buy from the Fund or sell to the Fund the underlying asset as required. In the case where a Fund has written an option, the Fund doesn’t have counterparty risk. Counterparty risk on purchased over-the-counter options is partially mitigated by the Fund’s collateral posting requirements. As the option increases in value to the Fund, the Fund receives collateral from the counterparty. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts – Each of the Funds may use futures contracts to manage the exposure to interest rate and market or currency fluctuations. Gains or losses on futures contracts can offset changes in the yield of securities. When a futures contract is opened, cash or other investments equal to the required “initial margin deposit” are held on deposit with and pledged to the broker. Additional securities held by the Funds may be earmarked to cover open futures contracts. The futures contract’s daily change in value (“variation margin”) is either paid to or received from the broker, and is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract when opened and the value of the contract when closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Exchange-traded futures have no significant counterparty risk as the exchange guarantees the contracts against default.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts – In connection with purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign currencies all Funds may enter into foreign currency forward contracts. Additionally, the Funds may enter into such contracts to mitigate currency and counterparty exposure to other foreign-currency-denominated investments. These contracts are recorded at value and the related realized and change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. In the event that counterparties fail to settle these forward contracts, the Funds could be exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign currency contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the contract exchange rate and the closing forward rate applied to the face amount of the contract. A realized gain or loss is recorded at the time a forward contract is closed. These contracts are over-the-counter and the Fund is exposed to counterparty risk equal to the discounted net amount of payments to the Fund.
32
THRIVENT MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
Swap Agreements – Each of the Funds may enter into swap transactions, which involve swapping one or more investment characteristics of a security or a basket of securities with another party. Such transactions include market risk, risk of default by the other party to the transaction, risk of imperfect correlation and manager risk and may involve commissions or other costs. Swap transactions generally do not involve delivery of securities, other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to swap transactions is generally limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make, or in the case of the counterparty defaulting, the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. The contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Swap agreements are valued at fair value of the contract as provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service takes into account such factors as swap curves, default probabilities, recent trades, recovery rates and other factors it deems relevant in determining valuations. Daily fluctuations in the value of the centrally cleared credit default contracts are recorded in variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and recorded as unrealized gain or loss. The Fund accrues for the periodic payment and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. Receipts and payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are also recognized as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held with the Fund’s custodian, or a third party, in connection with these agreements. Certain swap agreements are over-the-counter and the Fund is exposed to counterparty risk, which is the discounted net amount of payments owed to the Fund. This risk is partially mitigated by the Fund’s collateral posting requirements. As the swap increases in value to the Fund, the Fund receives collateral from the counterparty. Certain interest rate and credit default index swaps must be cleared through a clearinghouse or central counterparty.
Credit Default Swaps – A credit default swap is a swap agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of a particular issuer, basket of securities or reference entity. In a credit default swap transaction, a buyer pays periodic fees in return for payment by the seller which is contingent upon an adverse credit event occurring in the underlying issuer or reference entity. The seller collects periodic fees from the buyer and profits if the credit of the underlying issuer or reference entity remains stable or improves while the swap is outstanding, but the seller in a credit default swap contract would be required to pay the amount of credit loss, determined as specified in the agreement, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event in the reference entity. A buyer of a credit default swap is said to buy protection whereas a seller of a credit default swap is said to sell protection. The Funds may be either the protection seller or the protection buyer.
Certain Funds enter into credit default derivative contracts directly through credit default swaps (CDS) or through credit default swap indices (CDX Indices). CDX indices are static pools of equally weighted credit default swaps referencing corporate bonds and/or loans designed to provide diversified credit exposure to these asset classes. Funds sell default protection and assume long-risk positions in individual credits or indices. Index positions are entered into to gain exposure to the corporate bond and/or loan markets in a cost-efficient and diversified structure. In the event that a position defaults, by going into bankruptcy and failing to pay interest or principal on borrowed money, within any given CDX Index held, the maximum potential amount of future payments required would be equal to the pro-rata share of that position within the index based on the notional amount of the index. In the event of a default under a CDS contract the maximum potential amount of future payments would be the notional amount. For CDS, the default events could be bankruptcy and failing to pay interest or principal on borrowed money or a restructuring. A restructuring is a change in the underlying obligations which would include reduction in interest or principal, maturity extension and subordination to other obligations.
For financial reporting purposes the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(H) Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions — Certain Funds enter into dollar roll transactions on securities issued or to be issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, in which the Funds sell mortgage securities and simultaneously agree to repurchase similar (same type and coupon) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. The Funds must maintain liquid securities having a value at least equal to the repurchase price (including accrued interest) for such dollar rolls. In addition, the Funds are required to segregate collateral with the fund custodian—depending on market movements—on their mortgage dollar rolls. The value of the securities that the Funds are required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities.
During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Funds forgo principal and interest paid on the mortgage securities sold. The Funds are compensated from negotiated fees paid by brokers offered as an inducement to the Funds to “roll over” their purchase commitments, thus enhancing the yield. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new purchase and repurchase price and a cash settlement made on settlement date without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The fees received are recognized over the roll period and are included in Income from mortgage dollar rolls in the Statement of Operations.
(I) Securities Lending — The Trust has entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG (“Deutsche”). The Agreement authorizes Deutsche to lend securities to authorized borrowers on behalf of the Funds. Pursuant to the Agreement, all loaned securities are initially collateralized by cash equal to at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less that the value of the collateral received. Any additional collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The Trust
34
THRIVENT MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015
has the ability to recall the loans at any time and could do so in order to vote proxies or sell the loaned securities. All cash collateral received is invested in Thrivent Cash Management Trust. The Funds receive dividends and interest that would have been earned on the securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral. Amounts earned on investments in Thrivent Cash Management Trust, net of rebates, fees paid to Deutsche for services provided and any other securities lending expenses, are included in Income from securities loaned on the Statement of Operations. By investing any cash collateral it receives in these transactions, a Portfolio could realize additional gains or losses. If the borrower fails to return the securities or the invested collateral has declined in value, the Fund could lose money. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. However, in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent.
As of December 31, 2015, the value of securities on loan is as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Securities on Loan | |
Diversified Income Plus | | $ | 675,022 | |
(J) When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions —Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, a Fund will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. A Fund may dispose of a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When a Fund has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, a Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
(K) Treasury Inflation Protected Securities — Certain Funds may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). These securities are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The coupon interest rate is generally fixed at issuance. Interest is paid based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount will be included as taxable interest in the Statement of Operations and received in cash upon maturity or sale of the security.
(L) Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions in pursuit of its investment objective. A repurchase agreement consists of a purchase and a simultaneous agreement to resell an investment for later delivery at an agreed upon price and rate of interest. The Fund uses a third-party custodian to maintain the collateral. If the original seller of a security subject to a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security at the agreed upon time, the Fund could incur a loss due to a drop in the value of the security during the time it takes the Fund to either sell the security or take action to enforce the original seller’s agreement to repurchase the security. Also, if a defaulting original seller filed for bankruptcy or became insolvent, disposition of such security might be delayed by pending legal action. The Fund may only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions such as broker/dealers that are found by the Adviser or subadviser to be creditworthy. During the year ended December 31, 2015, none of the Funds engaged in these types of investments.
(M) Equity-Linked Structured Securities — Certain Funds may invest in equity-linked structured notes. Equity-linked structured notes are debt securities which combine the characteristics of common stock and the sale of an option. The return component is based upon the performance of a single equity security, a basket of equity securities, or an equity index and the sale of an option. There is no guaranteed return of principal with these securities. The appreciation potential of these securities may be limited by a maximum payment or call right and can be influenced by many unpredictable factors. In addition to the performance of the equity, the nature and credit of the issuer may also impact return. During the year ended, December 31, 2015, none of the Funds engaged in these types of transactions.
(N) Stripped Securities — Certain Funds may invest in Interest Only and Principal Only stripped mortgage or asset backed securities. These securities represent a participation in securities that are structured in classes with rights to receive different portions of the interest and principal. Interest only securities receive all the interest and principal only securities receive all the principal. If the underlying pool of mortgages or assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in an interest only security. Principal only securities increase in value if prepayments are greater than anticipated and decline if prepayments are slower than anticipated. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. As interest rates increase, the price of the principal only security decreases. Similarly, as interest rates decrease, the price of the principal only security increases. The principal only security represents the payment with the longest maturity, therefore making it the most sensitive to interest rate changes.

(O) Credit Risk — The Funds may be susceptible to credit risk to the extent an issuer or counterparty defaults on its payment obligation. The Funds’ policy is to monitor the creditworthiness of issuers and counterparties. Interest receivable on defaulted securities is monitored for ability to collect payments in default and is adjusted accordingly.
(P) Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(Q) Loan Commitments — Certain Funds may enter into loan commitments, which generally have interest rates which are reset daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. Loan commitments often require prepayments from excess cash flows or allow the borrower to repay at its election. The rate at which the borrower repays cannot be predicted with accuracy. Therefore, the remaining maturity may be considerably less than the stated maturity shown in the Schedule of Investments.
All or a portion of these loan commitments may be unfunded. A Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. Therefore, the Fund must have funds sufficient to cover its contractual obligation. These unfunded loan commitments, which are marked to market daily, are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
(R) Recent Accounting Pronouncements —
Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).
In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). ASU No. 2015-07 changes the disclosure requirements for investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
(S) Litigation — Awards from class action litigation are recorded as realized gains on the payment date.
(T) Other — For financial statement purposes, investment security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on a specific cost identification basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
(3) FEES AND COMPENSATION PAID TO AFFILIATES
(A) Investment Advisory Fees — The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Thrivent Asset Mgt. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, each of the Funds pays a fee for investment advisory services. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. The annual rates of fees as a percent of average daily net assets under the Investment Advisory Agreement were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Income Plus Class A to 1.10% effective 2/1/2016.
(C) Distribution Plan — Through December 31, 2015, Thrivent Investment Management, Inc. (“Thrivent Investment Mgt.”) was the Trust’s distributor. Effective January 1, 2016, Thrivent Distributors, LLC became the Trust’s distributor. The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class A shares generally have a Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% of average net assets.

(D) Sales Charges and Other Fees — For the year ended December 31, 2015, Thrivent Investment Mgt. received $1,354,757 of aggregate underwriting concessions from the sales of the Trust’s Class A shares. Sales charges are not an expense of the Trust and are not reflected in the financial statements of any of the Funds.
The Trust has entered into an accounting and administrative services agreement with Thrivent Asset Mgt. pursuant to which Thrivent Asset Mgt. provides certain accounting and administrative personnel and services to the Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Thrivent Asset Mgt. received aggregate fees for accounting and administrative personnel and services of $337,315 from the Funds covered in this shareholder report.
The Trust has entered into an agreement with Thrivent Financial Investor Services, Inc. (“Thrivent Investor Services”) to provide transfer agency and dividend payment services necessary to the Funds on a per-account basis. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Thrivent Investor Services received $606,306 for transfer agent services from the Funds covered in this shareholder report.
Each Trustee who is not affiliated with the Adviser receives an annual fee from the Trust for services as a Trustee and is eligible to participate in a deferred compensation plan with respect to fees received from the Funds. Participants in the plan may designate their deferred Trustee’s fees as if invested in a series of Thrivent Mutual Funds. The value of each Trustee’s deferred compensation account will increase or decrease as if invested in shares of that series. Their fees as well as the change in value are included in Trustee’s fees in the Statement of Operations. The deferred fees remain in the appropriate Fund until distribution in accordance with the plan. The Payable for trustee deferred compensation, located in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, is unsecured.
Those Trustees not participating in the above plan received $18,036 in fees from the Funds covered in this shareholder report for the year ended December 31, 2015. In addition, the Trust reimbursed independent Trustees for reasonable expenses incurred in relation to attendance at the meetings and industry conferences.
Certain officers and non-independent Trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Thrivent Asset Mgt., Thrivent Investment Mgt. and Thrivent Investor Services; however, they receive no compensation from the Funds.
(E) Indirect Expenses — Some Funds invest in other mutual funds. Fees and expenses of those underlying funds are not included in those Funds’ expense ratios. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the annualized weighted average expense ratio of the underlying funds in which they invest.
(4) TAX INFORMATION
Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with the applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications.
On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were made as follows [Increase/(Decrease)]:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Accumulated Undistributed Net Investment Income/(Loss) | | | Accumulated Undistributed Net Realized Gain/(Loss) | | | Capital Stock | |
Growth and Income Plus | | ($ | 11,191 | ) | | ($ | 23,091 | ) | | $ | 34,282 | |

Growth and Income Plus | | $ | 22,249 | | | $ | 22,489 | |
Diversified Income Plus | | | 189,420 | | | | 207,662 | |
(B) Investments in High-Yielding Securities — The Funds may invest in high-yielding securities. These securities will typically be in lower rated categories or will be non-rated and generally will involve more risk than securities in higher rated categories. Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk and credit risk than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates.
(C) Investments in Options and Futures Contracts — The movement in the price of the security underlying an option or futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the movement in the prices of the portfolio securities being hedged. A lack of correlation could render a Fund’s hedging strategy unsuccessful and could result in a loss to the Fund. In the event that a liquid secondary market would not exist, the Fund could be prevented from entering into a closing transaction, which could result in additional losses to the Fund.
(6) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED FUNDS
The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Funds or affiliated Portfolios under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by a Fund from or to another Fund or Portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is executed at the current market price. During the year ended December 31, 2015, Growth and Income Plus Fund and Diversified Income Plus Fund engaged in purchase transactions that complied with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act in the amounts of $7,677,104 and $30,708,389, respectively.
(7) SHAREHOLDER CONCENTRATION
As of December 31, 2015, no related parties held shares in excess of 5% of the Funds covered in this shareholder report.
(8) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Adviser of the Funds has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through February 18, 2016, and, except as already included in the Notes to Financial Statements, has determined that no additional items require disclosure.

Board Approval of Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements
Both the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) and the terms of the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements of the Thrivent Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) require that these agreements be approved annually by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Trustees”). The ten-member Board consists of eight Independent Trustees, including the Chairman.
At its meeting on November 17-18, 2015, the Board voted unanimously to renew the existing Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Thrivent Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) for each series of the Trust other than the Asset Allocation Funds (each, a “Fund”). The Board also unanimously approved the Subadvisory Agreements for each of the Funds for which there is an investment subadviser (each a “Subadviser”). The Adviser and Subadvisers are referred to, collectively, as the “Advisory Organizations.” In connection with its evaluation of the agreements with the Advisory Organizations, the Board reviewed a broad range of information requested for this purpose and considered a variety of factors, including the following:
| 1. | The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisory Organizations; |
| 2. | The performance of the Funds; |
| 3. | The advisory fee and net operating expense ratio of each Fund compared to a peer group; |
| 4. | The cost of services provided and profit realized by the Adviser; |
| 5. | The extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow; |
| 6. | Whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders; |
| 7. | Other benefits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust; and |
| 8. | Any other factors that the Board deemed relevant to its consideration. |
In connection with the renewal process, the Contracts Committee of the Board (consisting of all of the Independent Trustees) met on six occasions from February 24 to November 17, 2015 to consider information relevant to the renewal process. The Independent Trustees also retained the services of Management Practice Inc. (“MPI”) as an independent consultant to assist in the compilation, organization, and evaluation of relevant information. This information included Fund-by-Fund statistical comparisons of the advisory fees, other fees, net operating expenses and performance of each of the Funds in comparison to a peer group of comparable funds; portfolio turnover percentages; brokerage costs; information with respect to services provided to the Funds and fees charged, including effective advisory fees that take into account breakpoints and fee waivers by the Adviser; asset and flow trends for the Funds; the cost of services and profit realized by the Adviser and its affiliates that provide services to the Funds; and information regarding the types of services furnished to the Funds. The Board received information from the Adviser regarding the personnel providing services to the Funds, including investment management, compliance and administrative personnel. The Board also received monthly reports from the Adviser’s investment management staff with respect to the performance of the Funds. In addition to its review of the information presented to the Board during the contract renewal process, the Board also considered information obtained from management throughout the course of the year.
The Independent Trustees were represented by independent counsel throughout the review process and during executive sessions without management present to consider reapproval of the agreements. Each Independent Trustee relied on his or her own business judgment in determining the weight to be given to each factor considered in evaluating the materials that were presented. The Contracts Committee’s and Board’s review and conclusions were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and were not the result of any single controlling factor. In addition, each Trustee may have weighed individual factors differently. The key factors considered and the conclusions reached are described below.
Shareholders of the Asset Allocation Funds approved a new Advisory Agreement, including a new investment advisory fee schedule, in August 2015; therefore, the Board was not required to and did not include the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Asset Allocation Funds in its considerations to renew the Funds’ Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
At each of the Board’s regular quarterly meetings, management presented information describing the services furnished to the Funds by the Adviser and, as appropriate, the Subadvisers. During these meetings, management reported on the investment management, portfolio trading and compliance services provided to the Funds under the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements. During the renewal process, the Board considered the specific services provided under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered information relating to the investment experience and qualifications of the Adviser’s portfolio managers and those of the Subadvisers.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
(unaudited)
The Board received reports at each of its quarterly meetings from the Adviser’s Head of Equity Investments and Head of Fixed Income Funds, as supplemented by the Adviser’s Chief Investment Officer, who was also present at all of the meetings. At each quarterly meeting, the Head of Equity Investments and Head of Fixed Income Funds presented information about each of the Funds. On several occasions, the Board received presentations from certain Subadvisers regarding their portfolio management services to certain Funds. These reports and presentations gave the Board the opportunity to evaluate the portfolio managers’ abilities and the quality of services they provide to the Funds. The Adviser also reviewed with the Board the services provided by the Subadvisers. Information was also presented to the Board describing the portfolio compliance functions performed by the Adviser. The Independent Trustees also met in-person with and received quarterly reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.
The Board considered the depth and quality of the Adviser’s oversight of the Subadvisers. In addition, the Board noted the broad functions that the Adviser performed in support of the subadvised Funds, including, among other things, management of portfolio cash, subadviser expense management and payment and performance monitoring. The Board noted that investment management staff of the Adviser and the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer conduct in-person oversight visits of each Subadviser, report the results of the visit to the Board and then follow through with additional inquiry on any questions or concerns that arise during the visit. The Board also noted that, as part of its oversight practice, the Adviser requires the Subadvisers to respond to a variety of compliance checklists and certifications to ensure their ongoing compliance with a subadvised Fund’s policies. The Board noted that the Adviser requires the Subadvisers to complete an annual questionnaire addressing a range of compliance topics. In addition, the Board noted that the Adviser has dedicated personnel responsible for daily monitoring of the Subadvisers’ activities pertaining to the subadvised Funds.
The Board considered the adequacy of the Advisory Organizations’ resources used to provide services to the Trust pursuant to the Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements. The Adviser reviewed with the Board the Adviser’s process for overseeing the portfolio management teams of the Funds, and explained similarities and differences for how it oversees the Adviser’s teams and the teams of the Subadvisers. In addition, the Adviser explained how its investments in technology and personnel have benefitted the Funds and discussed continued investments in these resources. The Adviser also discussed how it has continued to strengthen its compliance program. The Adviser reviewed with the Board its process for selecting and overseeing the Subadvisers, including the results of on-site compliance due diligence visits. The Board viewed these actions as a positive factor in reapproving the existing Advisory Agreement, as they demonstrated the Adviser’s commitment to provide the Funds with quality service and competitive investment performance. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Subadvisers supported renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements.
Performance of the Funds
In connection with each of its regular quarterly meetings, the Board received information on the performance of each Fund, including net performance, relative performance rankings within each Fund’s Lipper peer group, Morningstar ratings, and performance as compared to benchmark index returns. At each quarterly Board meeting, the Head of Equity Investments and Head of Fixed Income Funds reviewed with the Board the economic and market environment, risk management, and style consistency in connection with management of the Funds. The Board considered investment performance for each Fund, to the extent applicable, over the one-, two-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. When evaluating investment performance, the Board considered longer-term performance and the trend of performance, and focused particularly upon the three-year performance record. Although the Board conducted its review on a Fund-by-Fund basis, it noted that, for the three-year period ended June 30, 2015, the average ranking of the Funds’ Class A shares against their Lipper categories was 44% (on a scale of 1-99%, with 1% being the best). The Board noted that, for the three-year period ended June 30, 2015, the average ranking of the Funds’ Institutional Class (now known as Class S) against their Lipper categories was 36% (excluding the Money Market Fund) (on a scale of 1-99%, with 1% being the best).
The Board noted that certain Funds did not fit well within a Lipper peer group because of differences between the principal investment strategies of these Funds and funds included in their respective Lipper peer group. In such cases, the Adviser provided additional information regarding these Funds’ performance compared to a customized benchmark that the Adviser believed better represented the investment strategies of such Funds. The Board concluded that the performance of each individual Fund was either satisfactory or that the Adviser had taken appropriate actions in an effort to improve performance.

Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
The Board reviewed information prepared by MPI comparing each Fund’s advisory fee with the advisory fee of its peer group. The Board considered both the contractual and effective advisory fees for each of the Funds. The Board noted that the majority of the Funds’ advisory fees were at or below the medians of their peer groups. Although the Board conducted its review on a Fund-by-Fund basis, it noted that the average ranking of the Funds’ advisory fees for its Class A shares was 33% and the average ranking of the of the Funds’ advisory fees for its Institutional Class (now known as Class S) was 37% (on a scale of 1-99%, with 1% being the lowest fee). The Board viewed favorably the Adviser’s proposal to continue or extend fee waivers for certain Funds and considered the effect of the waivers in lowering the Funds’ expenses. On the basis of its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fees charged to the Funds for investment management services were reasonable.
The Board also reviewed information prepared by MPI comparing each Fund’s overall expense ratio with the expense ratio of its peer group. The Board conducted its review on a Fund-by-Fund basis and noted that all but three Funds (each of which is discussed below) had better total net expense ratios than their peer group medians. The Board further noted that the Funds’ Class A shares had an average ranking of 36% while the Funds’ Institutional Class (now known as Class S) had an average ranking of 26% (on a scale of 1-99%, with 1% being the lowest expenses). With respect to the Thrivent Money Market Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser, like many investment advisers in the industry, continued to waive fees in order to maintain a zero yield. With respect to Thrivent Partner Worldwide Allocation Fund and the Thrivent Large Cap Growth Fund, the Board viewed favorably management’s willingness to continue a contractual expense cap with respect to the Class A shares and noted that, although there were no expense caps in place, the net operating expenses for the Institutional Class shares were competitive.
The Board considered that, in response to reforms of the rules that govern money market funds, Thrivent Money Market Fund would change its principal investment strategies to qualify as a “government money market fund” effective February 1, 2016. In connection with this change, the Board approved a decrease to the Fund’s investment advisory fee.
Cost of Services and Profitability
The Board considered the Adviser’s estimates of its profitability, which included allocations by the Adviser of its costs in providing advisory services to the Funds. The internal audit department (i.e., Business Risk Management) of the Adviser conducted a review of such allocations and a department representative reported to the Board his views regarding the reasonableness and consistency of these allocations. The Board considered the profitability of the Adviser both overall and on a Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board also considered the expense reimbursements and waivers in effect. Based on its review of the data prepared by MPI and expense and profit information provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the profits earned by the Adviser from the Advisory Agreement were not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds.
With respect to fees paid to Subadvisers under the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board did not consider profitability information with respect to the Subadvisers, which are not affiliated with the Adviser. The Board considered that those contracts had been negotiated on an arm’s-length basis between the Adviser and each Subadviser, and that each Subadviser’s separate profitability from its relationship with the Funds was not a material factor in determining whether to renew the Subadvisory Agreements.
Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered information regarding the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as a Fund’s assets increase and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Adviser explained its general goal with respect to the employment of fee waivers, expense reimbursements and breakpoints. The Board considered information provided by the Adviser related to advisory fee rates, breakpoints in the advisory fee rates and fee waivers provided by the Adviser. The Board also considered management’s view that it is difficult to generalize as to whether, or to what extent, economies in the advisory function may be realized as a Fund’s assets increase. The Board noted that expected economies of scale, where they exist, may be shared through the use of fee breakpoints, fee waivers by the Adviser, and/or a lower overall fee rate.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Board considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Trust, both tangible and intangible, such as their ability to leverage investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an enhanced reputation as an investment adviser which may help in attracting other clients and investment personnel, and the engagement of affiliates as service providers to the Funds. The Board noted that such benefits were difficult to quantify but were consistent with benefits received by other mutual fund advisers. The Board also considered the research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on the Funds’ portfolio trading.
Based on the factors discussed above, the Contracts Committee unanimously recommended approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements, and the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved each of the agreements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Thrivent Diversified Income Plus Fund and Thrivent Growth and Income Plus Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedule of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Thrivent Diversified Income Plus Fund and Thrivent Growth and Income Plus Fund (constituting part of the Thrivent Mutual Funds) (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights and schedules of investments (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, transfer agent and brokers provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
