Fitch Ratings has affirmed Thrivent Financial's Insurer Financial Strength rating to AA+ (Very Strong), the second-highest of Fitch's 19 categories, and given the organization a stable outlook.

Fitch cited Thrivent's extremely strong level of capitalization, and their belief that management is committed to maintaining statutory capital levels in excess of rating guidelines. As part of the affirmation, Thrivent was also recognized for its consistently solid profitability and favorable position within the Lutheran market as well as its growing franchise within the broader Christian community.

These ratings reflect Thrivent Financial's overall financial strength and claims-paying ability, but do not apply to the investment performance of investment products. The ratings were affirmed December 20, 2016.
