C000003844 Investment Objective and Strategy
Thrivent Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Thrivent Series Fund Inc.
Investment objective
"Thrivent Short-Term Bond Portfolio (the ""Portfolio"") seeks a high level of current income consistent with stability of principal."
Principal investment strategy
The principal strategies of the Portfolio are to invest in investment-grade corporate bonds, government bonds, mortgage-backed securities (including commercially backed ones), asset-backed securities, and collateralized debt obligations (including collateralized loan obligations). Asset-backed securities are securities backed by notes or receivables originated by banks, credit card companies, or other providers of credit; collateralized debt obligations are types of asset-backed securities. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in investment-grade debt securities or preferred stock. At the time of purchase, these investment-grade securities are rated at or above BBB- by S&P, or Baa3 by Moodys, or unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser, with the dollar-weighted average effective maturity for the Portfolio expected to be between one and five years.
Should the Adviser change the investments used for purposes of this 80% threshold, you will be notified at least 60 days prior to the change. The Portfolio may also invest in high-yield, high-risk instruments that are rated below investment grade. Below investment-grade securities are commonly known as junk bonds, which at the time of purchase are rated within or below the BB major rating category by S&P or the Ba major rating category by Moodys or are unrated but considered to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. The Adviser uses fundamental and other investment research techniques to determine what debt obligations to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a securitys value based on factors such as an issuers financial profile, management, and business prospects, as applicable.
The Adviser focuses on companies that it believes are financially sound and have strong cash flow, asset values and interest or dividend earnings, and may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated debt of foreign companies. While the Portfolio may use derivatives for any investment purpose, the Portfolio expects to utilize U.S. Treasury futures contracts in order to manage the Portfolios duration, or interest rate risk. The Portfolio may enter into derivatives contracts traded on exchanges or in the over-the-counter market.
