Thrivent launches two new ETFs, expands product suite
Thrivent recently launched two international equity exchange traded funds (ETFs), expanding its presence in the growing ETF marketplace and providing investors with access to global equity opportunities.
The new offerings include the Thrivent International Large Cap ETF (NASDAQ: TILC) and the Thrivent International Small Cap ETF (NASDAQ: TISC).
- TILC is a conversion of the Thrivent Core International Equity Fund.
- TISC draws on Thrivent’s experience managing international small-cap equities in an internal sleeve across several Thrivent funds and portfolios.
Both ETFs will be managed by Portfolio Managers Jing Wang, CFA; Noah Monsen, CFA; and Shu Guo, CFA. All bring deep expertise in international equity markets.
“We continue to see growing interest in ETFs from both investors and advisors because of their unique attributes, including flexibility and tax efficiency,” says Mike Kremenak, president of Thrivent Funds. “ETFs are increasingly being used as core building blocks in portfolios, with international strategies helping diversify beyond U.S. equities.
“These new ETFs build on Thrivent’s established investment expertise and take a quantitative approach grounded in research and active management. We believe these solutions can help deliver the diversification and long-term value investors are looking for.”
The portfolio management team uses a disciplined investment process powered by proprietary models to analyze large data sets and identify opportunities across international large- and small-cap equities. They evaluate a range of factors, time horizons and modeling techniques to build a well-diversified portfolio designed to outperform over time. Throughout the process, portfolio managers apply their judgment to help balance risk and expected return as they manage and refine the models.
Thrivent’s ETF suite has continued to grow as part of the financial services company’s strategy to expand its investment product suite. The company currently offers seven ETFs with total assets under management exceeding $3 billion (as of 6/30/26), spanning equity and fixed-income strategies.
