[May __, 2024]

Dear Contractholder:

The Board of Directors of Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) has scheduled a special meeting of shareholders for June 27, 2024 (with any adjournments, postponements, or delays of the meeting, the “Meeting”) to be held at 901 Marquette Avenue, Suite 2500, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402. At the Meeting, shareholders of Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Portfolio (the “Target Portfolio”) will be asked to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) providing for its reorganization into Thrivent Global Stock Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”).

As further described in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent”) and separate accounts of other insurance companies not affiliated with Thrivent are direct shareholders of the Target Portfolio and the sponsors of variable life insurance contracts and variable annuity contracts (each, a “Variable Contract”) funded by the separate accounts invested in the Target Portfolio. As the holder of a Variable Contract, you are being solicited for voting instructions so that shares of the Target Portfolio may be voted in proportion to the instructions received.

If a merger is approved, your investment in the Target Portfolio will automatically be transferred into the Acquiring Portfolio. We will send you a written confirmation after this takes place. This transfer is not expected to be a taxable event. (Of course, you may transfer your investment to a completely different series, which will not count as one of your permitted annual exchanges.)

Your vote counts! If you are not planning to attend the Meeting in person, please vote before June 27, 2024 in one of the following ways:

•

Internet: see the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card.

•

Phone: see the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card.

Questions and Answers for Contractholders

Although we recommend that you read the complete Prospectus/Proxy Statement, we have provided the following questions and answers to clarify and summarize the matter to be voted on.

Q: Why is a shareholder meeting being held?

A: Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is holding a special meeting of shareholders of Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Portfolio (the “Target Portfolio”) on June 27, 2024 (with any adjournments, postponements, or delays of the meeting, the “Meeting”), to seek shareholder approval for the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Target Portfolio into Thrivent Global Stock Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”). Please refer to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement for a detailed explanation of the proposed Reorganization and for a more complete description of the Acquiring Portfolio.

Q: Why is the Reorganization being recommended?

A: After careful consideration, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund has determined that a Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Target Portfolio and recommends that you cast your vote “FOR” the proposed Reorganization.

The Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio both invest primarily in equity securities and each is a series of the Fund, an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent” or the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser for the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio.

The Reorganization was approved by the Board on February 28, 2024. The Board considered the fact that as of December 31, 2023, the Target Portfolio was ranked in the bottom decile of its Morningstar peer group for the one- and five-year periods and in the 67th percentile for the three-year period. The Board also considered that the Acquiring Portfolio has posted more competitive results, ranking in the top half of the peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board noted that the current portfolio managers of the Acquiring Portfolio are as follows: Kurt J. Lauber, CFA since March 2013, Noah J. Monsen, CFA since April 2018, Lauri A. Brunner since September 2018, and David R. Spangler, CFA since February 2019.

The Board believes that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Target Portfolio because: (i) shareholders will become shareholders of a larger combined portfolio with greater potential to increase asset size and achieve economies of scale; (ii) at the time of the Board’s approval on February 28, 2024, the Acquiring Portfolio had achieved better performance than the Target Portfolio for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, both in terms of Morningstar peer group rankings and on an absolute basis, though there is no guarantee of future performance; (iii) the Adviser believes that it can most effectively manage the assets currently in the Target Portfolio by combining such assets with the Acquiring Portfolio; and (iv) the Acquiring Portfolio has lower gross and net expense ratios than the Target Portfolio and shareholders of the Target Portfolio will experience lower gross and net expense ratios in the Acquiring Portfolio following the Reorganization.

Q: Who can vote?

A: The Target Portfolio is a separate series of the Fund, which is an open-end investment company commonly called a mutual fund. Shares of the Target Portfolio may be sold to:

•

Separate accounts of Thrivent, which are used to fund benefits under various variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Thrivent;

•

Separate accounts of other insurance companies not affiliated with Thrivent, which are used to fund benefits under variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by such insurance companies; and

•

Other series of the Fund.

with Thrivent invested in one or more of the Target Portfolios (each, a “Shareholder” and collectively, the “Shareholders”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The Target Portfolios are investment options in the separate accounts held directly by the Shareholders, which are used to fund the Variable Contracts issued by the Shareholders. Accordingly, Contractholders are being solicited to provide voting instructions to the direct Shareholders, which will in turn cast votes in accordance with instructions received from the Contractholders. If your voting instructions are not timely received, any shares of the Target Portfolio attributable to a Variable Contract you own will be voted by the respective Shareholder in proportion to the voting instructions actually received for all Variable Contracts issued by that Shareholder participating in the proxy solicitation for the Target Portfolio. This voting procedure may result in a relatively small number of Contractholders determining the outcome of the vote.

Any shares of the Target Portfolio held by Thrivent or its affiliates for their own account and any shares held in an asset allocation portfolio managed by Thrivent, the investment adviser to the Target Portfolio, will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions received from all Contractholders participating in the proxy solicitation for the Target Portfolio. This voting procedure may also result in a relatively small number of Contractholders determining the outcome of the vote.

Q: How will the Reorganization affect me?

A: Assuming the proposed Reorganization is approved by Contractholders, the assets of the Target Portfolio will be combined with those of the Acquiring Portfolio. The shares of the Target Portfolio that fund your benefits under Variable Contracts would automatically be exchanged for an equal dollar value of shares of the Acquiring Portfolio. The Reorganization would affect only the investments underlying Variable Contracts and would not otherwise affect Variable Contracts. Following the Reorganization, the Target Portfolio will dissolve.

Q: Will I have to pay any commission or other similar fee as a result of the Reorganization?

A: Contractholders will not pay any commissions or fees in connection with the Reorganization, although brokerage and other transaction costs of approximately $11,959 will be borne by the Target Portfolio and/or the Acquiring Portfolio. Other direct and indirect costs of the Reorganization will be borne by the Adviser, as further discussed in the “Additional Information About the Reorganization—Expenses of the Reorganization” section in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Q: Will the total annual operating expenses that my portfolio investment bears increase as a result of the Reorganization?

A: No, they are likely to decrease. An unexpected increase in “Other Expenses” of the Acquiring Portfolio could cause them to increase. For more information about how fund expenses may change as a result of the Reorganization, please see the comparative and pro forma table and related disclosures in the “Comparison of the Portfolios — Fees and Expenses” section of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Q: Will I have to pay any U.S. federal income taxes as a result of the Reorganization?

A: The Reorganization is expected to be tax-free for federal income tax purposes. The Target Portfolio will seek an opinion of counsel to this effect. Generally, Contractholders will not incur capital gains or losses on the exchange of Target Portfolio shares for Acquiring Portfolio shares as a result of the Reorganization. The cost basis on each investment will also remain the same. If you choose to make a total or partial surrender of your Variable Contract, you may be subject to taxes and other charges under your Variable Contract.

Q: Can I surrender or exchange my interests in the Target Portfolio for a different subaccount option of the Fund or surrender my contract before the Reorganization takes place?

A: Yes, but please refer to the most recent prospectus of your Variable Contract as certain charges and/or restrictions may apply to such exchanges and surrenders. For more detail on these restrictions and charges, see Appendix A to the statement of additional information relating to the Reorganization (the “Reorganization SAI”).

Q: If Contractholders of the Target Portfolio do not approve the Reorganization, what will happen to the Target Portfolio?

A: The Adviser will reassess what changes it would like to make to the Target Portfolio, including repurposing the Target Portfolio’s principal investment strategies or recommending to the Board a liquidation of the Target Portfolio. It may ultimately decide to make no changes.

Q: Who pays the costs of the Reorganization?

A: If the Reorganization is approved, brokerage and other transaction costs will be borne by the Target Portfolio and/or the Acquiring Portfolio. Other costs associated with the Reorganization, such as the costs of the Meeting, proxy expenses, legal fees, IT system changes, audit fees and filing fees, will be paid by Thrivent and will not be borne by Contractholders of the Target Portfolio, regardless of whether the Reorganization is completed. The Reorganization is expected to be tax-free for federal income tax purposes and Contractholders are not expected to experience a tax impact from the Reorganization.

Q: How can I vote?

A: Contractholders are invited to attend the Meeting to cast their vote in person. You may also vote by executing a proxy using one of three methods:

•

The required control number is printed on your enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card. If this feature is used, there is no need to mail the proxy card or voting instruction card.

Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement

[May __, 2024]

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. (the (“Fund”) to be used at a special meeting of shareholders (with any adjournments, postponements, or delays of the meeting, the “Meeting”) of Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Portfolio (the “Target Portfolio”). The Meeting will be held on June 27, 2024 to consider the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Target Portfolio into Thrivent Global Stock Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”).

The Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Portfolio,” or collectively, as the “Portfolios.” Each of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio is organized as a series of the Fund, an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Each of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio is a diversified company as defined under the 1940 Act.

Shares of the Target Portfolio may be sold to:

•

Separate accounts of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent”);

•

Separate accounts of other insurance companies not affiliated with Thrivent; and

•

Other Portfolios of the Fund.

The separate accounts of Thrivent and other insurance companies are used to fund benefits under variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (each, a “Variable Contract”) issued by such insurance companies. Thrivent, other insurance

companies, and the other Portfolios of the Fund are the sole shareholders and record owners of the Target Portfolio and are entitled to vote all of the shares of the Target Portfolio at the Meeting.

The voting rights of Variable Contract owners, and limitations on those rights, are explained in separate prospectuses relating to such Variable Contracts. This Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being delivered to Variable Contract owners (who are sometimes referred to as “Contractholders”) who, by virtue of their ownership of Variable Contracts, beneficially owned shares of the Target Portfolio as of the record date for the Meeting, May 3, 2024 (the “Record Date”), so that they may instruct Thrivent or other insurance companies how to vote the shares of the Target Portfolio underlying their Variable Contracts.

For ease of reference, the term “shareholders” will be used in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement to refer collectively to both record owners and beneficial owners of shares of the Target Portfolio (i.e., both owners of Variable Contracts funded by the Target Portfolio and shareholders of the Target Portfolio) as of the Record Date.

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement sets forth concisely the information shareholders of the Target Portfolio ought to know before voting on the Reorganization. Please read it carefully and retain it for future reference.

Overview of the Reorganization

The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more complete information contained in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Shareholders should read the entire Prospectus/Proxy Statement carefully.

Board Approval of the Reorganization

The Board, including the directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Portfolio (the “Independent Directors”), has unanimously approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) on behalf of the Portfolios, subject to Target Portfolio shareholder approval. The Reorganization Agreement provides for:

•

the transfer of all of the assets of the Target Portfolio to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio;

•

the distribution by the Target Portfolio of such Acquiring Portfolio shares to Target Portfolio shareholders; and

•

the dissolution of the Target Portfolio.

When the Reorganization is complete, Target Portfolio shareholders will hold Acquiring Portfolio shares. The aggregate value of the Acquiring Portfolio shares a Target Portfolio shareholder will receive in the Reorganization will equal the aggregate value of the Target Portfolio shares owned by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization, but the overall number of shares held by Target Portfolio shareholders may change. After the Reorganization, the Acquiring Portfolio will continue to operate with the investment objective and investment policies set forth in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. The Reorganizations will not affect your Variable Contract.

As discussed in more detail elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Board believes that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the Target Portfolio’s shareholders because: (i) shareholders will become shareholders of a larger combined portfolio with greater potential to increase asset size and achieve economies of scale; (ii) at the time of the Board’s approval on February 28, 2024, the Acquiring Portfolio has achieved better performance than the Target Portfolio for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, both in terms of Morningstar peer group rankings and on an absolute basis, though there is no guarantee of future performance; (iii) Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, the Portfolios’

investment adviser (“Thrivent” or the “Adviser”), believes that it can most effectively manage the assets currently in the Target Portfolio by combining such assets with the Acquiring Portfolio; and (iv) the Acquiring Portfolio has lower gross and net expense ratios than the Target Portfolio and shareholders of the Target Portfolio will experience lower gross and net expense ratios in the Acquiring Portfolio following the Reorganization.

In addition, the Board, when determining whether to approve the Reorganization, considered, among other things, the future growth prospects of each of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio, the fact that the Target Portfolio shareholders would not experience any diminution in shareholder services as a result of the Reorganization, and the fact that the Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

Background and Reasons for the Reorganization

The Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio have similar investment objectives to seek long-term growth of capital, but the Target Portfolio seeks its objective with lower volatility relative to the global equity markets while the Acquiring Portfolio does not.

The two Portfolios also have some similarities and some differences in their principal investment strategies, which are described in more detail in the “Comparison of the Portfolios—Investment Objective and Principal Strategies” section of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Both Portfolios invest in equity securities of domestic and international companies. The Target Portfolio seeks the potential upside of global equity markets with potentially lower volatility and drawdown. The Acquiring Portfolio seeks to provide consistent, competitive performance through favorable stock selection while monitoring risk.

In determining whether to recommend approval of the Reorganization Agreement to Target Portfolio shareholders, the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the expenses and advisory fees applicable to the Portfolios before the proposed Reorganization and the estimated expense ratio of the combined portfolio after the proposed Reorganization; (ii) the comparative investment performance of the Portfolios; (iii) the future growth prospects of each Portfolio; (iv) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement; (v) whether the Reorganization would result in the dilution of shareholder interests; (vi) the compatibility of the Portfolios’ investment objectives, policies, risks and restrictions; (vii) that the proposed Reorganization was expected to be a tax-free reorganization for

federal income tax purposes; (viii) the compatibility of the Portfolios’ service features available to shareholders; and (ix) the estimated costs of the Reorganization, which, except for brokerage and other transaction costs, would be borne by the Adviser of the Portfolios. The primary factors in the Board’s determination were the Acquiring Portfolio’s superior recent performance and lower gross and net expense ratios, as well as the benefits of economies of scale of a larger combined portfolio, such as improved growth prospects. The Board concluded that these factors supported a determination to approve the Reorganization Agreement.

The Board has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Portfolio and that the interests of the Target Portfolio’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, the Board has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquiring Portfolio and that the interests of the Acquiring Portfolio shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

The Board is asking shareholders of the Target Portfolio to approve the Reorganization at the Meeting to be held on June 27, 2024. If shareholders of the Target Portfolio approve the proposed Reorganization, it is expected that the closing date of the transaction will be after the close of business on or about [July __, 2024] (the “Closing Date”), but it may be at a different time as described herein.

Contingency Plan

If the proposed Reorganization is not approved by the shareholders of the Target Portfolio, the Board will consider alternatives, including repurposing the Target Portfolio's principal investment strategies or liquidating the Target Portfolio. It may also ultimately decide to make no changes.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Reorganization.

Comparison of the Portfolios

Investment Objective and Principal Strategies

Investment Objective. The Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio have similar investment objectives to seek long-term capital growth, but the Target Portfolio seeks to achieve this objective with lower volatility relative to the global equity markets.

Principal Strategies. Both Portfolios invest in equity securities of domestic and international companies, and the Portfolios may invest in securities of any market capitalization. The Target Portfolio’s investments are diversified globally, and it seeks to invest in securities that exhibit low volatility returns. (Volatility refers to the variation in security and market prices over time.) Over a full market cycle, the Target Portfolio seeks to have a risk profile similar to the MSCI World Minimum Volatility Index – USD Net Returns and the Acquiring Portfolio seeks to have a risk profile similar to the MSCI All Country World Index – USD Net Returns.

Portfolio Holdings. A description of the Portfolios’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Portfolios’ portfolio securities is available on the Portfolios’ website.

The following tables provide a side-by-side comparison of the investment objectives and principal strategies of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio.

assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Portfolio’s investments are diversified globally. The Portfolio may invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars and the currencies of the foreign countries in which it may invest. The Portfolio typically has full currency exposure to those markets in which it invests. The Portfolio may buy or sell equity index futures for investment exposure or hedging purposes. The Portfolio may invest in securities of any market capitalization, including small- and mid-cap securities. In seeking to achieve the Portfolio’s investment objective, the Adviser employs investment management techniques to identify securities that exhibit low volatility returns. Volatility refers to the variation in security and market prices over time. Over a full market cycle, the Portfolio seeks to have a risk profile similar to the MSCI World Minimum Volatility Index – USD Net Returns. It is expected that the Portfolio will generally underperform the global equity markets during periods of strong market performance. In buying and selling securities for the Portfolio, the Adviser uses an active strategy. This strategy consists of a disciplined approach that involves	assets in equity securities of domestic and international companies. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests approximately 40% of its net assets in foreign assets. However, the Portfolio could invest a much lower percentage of its net assets in foreign assets depending on market conditions. An asset may be determined to be foreign based on the issuer’s domicile, principal place of business, stock exchange listing, source of revenue, or other factors. Foreign securities may also include depositary receipts. 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 will generally make the following allocations among the broad asset classes listed below: U.S. large-cap equity–0-60% U.S. mid-cap equity–0-25% U.S. small-cap equity–0-25% Developed international equity–0-60% Emerging markets equity–0-25% The Portfolio’s actual holdings in each broad asset category may be outside the applicable allocation range from time to time due to differing investment performances among asset classes. These allocations may change without shareholder approval

computer-aided, quantitative analysis of fundamental, technical and risk- related factors. The Adviser’s factor model (a method of analyzing and combining multiple data sources) systematically reviews thousands of stocks, using data such as historical earnings growth and expected future growth, valuation, price momentum, and other quantitative factors to forecast return potential. Then, risk characteristics of potential investments and covariation among securities are analyzed along with the return forecasts in determining the Portfolio’s holdings to produce a portfolio with reduced volatility.	or advance notice to shareholders to the extent consistent with applicable law. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in domestic and foreign common stocks. The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts to either hedge its exposure or obtain exposure to certain investments. The Adviser uses fundamental, quantitative, and technical investment research techniques to determine what stocks to buy and sell. Fundamental techniques assess a security’s value based on an issuer’s financial profile, management, and business prospects while quantitative and technical techniques involve a more data-oriented analysis of financial information, market trends and price movements. The Portfolio may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or reposition assets into more promising opportunities. The Portfolio may also pursue its investment strategy by investing in other mutual funds managed by the Adviser or an affiliate.

Principal Risks

The Portfolios are subject to similar principal risks, with a few differences. For principal risks that are applicable to both Portfolios, there is no significant difference between

the Portfolios in the relative materiality of these risks. Shares of each Portfolio will rise and fall in value and there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in each Portfolio. The table below compares the principal risks of an investment in each Portfolio. The risks are listed alphabetically and each risk is described below the table.

Principal Risks to Which Both Portfolios are Subject

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives (such as futures) involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Portfolio in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. The Portfolio utilizes equity futures in order to increase or decrease its exposure to various asset classes at a lower cost than trading stocks directly. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the contract. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate as intended with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Portfolio could lose much more than the original amount invested. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. Certain derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations due to its financial condition, market events, or other reasons.

Equity Security Risk. Equity securities held by the Portfolio may decline significantly in price, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, geographic region, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one particular country or geographic region or one or more related sectors or industries, which would make the Portfolio more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such countries, geographic regions, sectors or industries. Equity securities are generally more volatile than most debt securities.

Foreign Currency Risk. The value of a foreign currency may decline against the U.S. dollar, which would reduce the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact of such a decline of foreign currency can be significant, unpredictable, and long lasting, depending on the currencies represented, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar, and whether currency positions are hedged. Under normal conditions, the Portfolio does not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging programs. Further, exchange rate movements are volatile, and it is not possible to effectively hedge the currency risks of many developing countries.

Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities generally carry more risk and are more volatile than their domestic counterparts, in part because of potential for higher political and economic risks, lack of reliable information and fluctuations in currency exchange rates where investments are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including interruptions in the global supply chain, market closures, war, terrorism, natural disasters and outbreak of infectious diseases. The Portfolio’s investment in any country could be subject to governmental actions such as capital or currency controls, nationalizing a company or industry, expropriating assets, or imposing punitive taxes that would have an adverse effect on security prices, and impair the Portfolio’s ability to repatriate capital or income. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to resell than comparable U.S. securities because the markets for foreign securities are often less liquid. Even when a foreign security increases in price in its local currency, the appreciation may be diluted by adverse changes in exchange rates when the security’s value is converted to U.S. dollars. Foreign withholding taxes also may apply and errors and delays may occur in the settlement process for foreign securities.

Futures Contract Risk. The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying instrument. The price of futures can be highly volatile; using them could lower total return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the Portfolio’s initial investment in such contracts. In addition, the value of the futures contract may not accurately track the value of the underlying instrument.

Investment Adviser Risk. The Portfolio is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of the Adviser in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Portfolio invests. The assessment of potential Portfolio investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Portfolio’s investment objective.

Issuer Risk. Issuer risk is the possibility that factors specific to an issuer to which the Portfolio is exposed will affect the market prices of the issuer’s securities and therefore the value of the Portfolio.

Large Cap Risk. Large-sized companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology. They may also not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Market Risk. Over time, securities markets generally tend to move in cycles with periods when security prices rise and periods when security prices decline. The value of the Portfolio’s investments may move with these cycles and, in some instances, increase or decrease more than the applicable market(s) as measured by the Portfolio’s benchmark index(es). The securities markets may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or market sector, or due to impacts from domestic or global events, including regulatory events, economic downturn, government shutdowns, the spread of infectious illness such as the outbreak of COVID-19, public health crises, war, terrorism, social unrest, recessions, natural disasters or similar events.

Mid Cap Risk. Medium-sized companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more-established companies. These companies tend to have smaller revenues, narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources, and less competitive strength than larger companies.

Quantitative Investing Risk. Securities selected according to a quantitative analysis methodology can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor and changes in the factor’s historical trends. Such models are based on assumptions relating to these and other market factors, and the models may not take into account certain factors, or perform as intended, and may result in a decline in the value of the Portfolio’s portfolio. Among other risks, results generated by such models may be impaired by errors in human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology systems malfunctions, or programming flaws. Such models may not perform as expected or may underperform in periods of market volatility.

Additional Principal Risks to Which Only the Target Portfolio is Subject

The Target Portfolio is subject to the same risks as the Acquiring Portfolio.

Additional Principal Risks to Which Only the Acquiring Portfolio is Subject

Allocation Risk. The Portfolio’s investment performance depends upon how its assets are allocated across broad asset categories and applicable sub-classes within such categories. Some broad asset categories and sub-classes may perform below expectations or the securities markets generally over short and extended periods. Therefore, a principal risk of investing in the Portfolio is that the allocation strategies used and the allocation decisions made will not produce the desired results.

Emerging Markets Risk. The risks and volatility of investing in foreign securities is increased in connection with investments in emerging markets. The economic, political and market structures of developing countries in emerging markets, in most cases, are not as strong as the structures in the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth, stability, liquidity and transparency. A Portfolio may not achieve its investment objective and portfolio performance will likely be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries in the midst of, among other things, hyperinflation, currency devaluation, trade disagreements, sudden political upheaval or interventionist government policies, and the risks of such events are heightened within emerging market countries. Portfolio performance may also be negatively affected by portfolio exposure to countries and corporations domiciled in, or with revenue exposures to, countries with less developed or unreliable legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, recordkeeping and corporate governance systems and standards. In particular, there may be less publicly available and transparent information about issuers in emerging markets than would be available about issuers in more developed capital markets

because such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which U.S. companies are subject. Emerging markets may also have differing legal systems, many of which provide fewer security holder rights and practical remedies to pursue claims than are available for securities of companies in the U.S. or other developed countries, including class actions or fraud claims. Significant buying or selling actions by a few major investors may also heighten the volatility of emerging market securities.

Other Funds Risk. Because the Portfolio invests in other funds, the performance of the Portfolio is dependent, in part, upon the performance of other funds in which the Portfolio may invest. As a result, the Portfolio is subject to the same risks as those faced by the other funds. In addition, other funds may be subject to additional fees and expenses that are borne by the Portfolio.

Small Cap Risk. Smaller, less seasoned companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than larger, more established companies. These companies tend to have small revenues, narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, small shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources, and less competitive strength than larger companies. Such companies seldom pay significant dividends that could soften the impact of a falling market on returns.

Fees and Expenses

The table below sets forth the fees and expenses that investors may pay to buy, hold and/or sell shares of each of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio, including (i) the fees and expenses paid by the Target Portfolio for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the fees and expenses paid by the Acquiring Portfolio for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, and (iii) pro forma fees and expenses for the Acquiring Portfolio for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, assuming the Reorganization had been completed as of the beginning of such period. If you own a Variable Contract, you will have additional fees and expenses, which are described in the prospectus for your Variable Contract. Variable Contract-level expenses are not reflected in the table below.

Shareholder Fees (fees directly paid from your investment)
	Actual		Pro Forma
	Target Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio (assuming merger with Target Portfolio)
Maximum Sales Charge (load) Imposed on Purchases (as a % of offering price)	N/A	N/A	N/A
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (load) (as a % of the net asset value)	N/A	N/A	N/A

Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
	Actual		Pro Forma
	Target Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio (assuming merger with Target Portfolio)
Management Fees	0.60%	0.57%	0.57%
Other Expenses	0.35%	0.06%	0.06%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses	0.95%	0.63%	0.63%
Less Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements(1)	0.05%	None	None
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements	0.90%	0.63%	0.63%

(1)

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2025, to waive a portion of the management fees associated with the shares of the Target Portfolio in order to limit the Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements to an annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the shares. This contractual provision, however, may be terminated

before the indicated termination date upon the mutual agreement between the Independent Directors of the Portfolio and the Adviser.

Example

The following example, using the actual and pro forma operating expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Acquiring Portfolio pro forma after the Reorganization with the cost of investing in each of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio without the Reorganization. The example does not include charges imposed by Variable Contracts. If Variable Contract charges were included, your expenses would be higher than those shown. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in each Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. In addition, the example for the Target Portfolio for the 1 Year period reflects the effect of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement. The example also assumes that your investments have a 5% return each year and that each Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same each year. Although your actual returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	Actual		Pro Forma
	Target Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio (assuming merger with the Target Portfolio)
One Year	$92	$64	$64
Three Years	$298	$202	$202
Five Years	$521	$351	$351
Ten Years	$1,162	$786	$786

Portfolio Turnover

Each Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolios’ performance. During the fiscal year

ended December 31, 2023, the Target Portfolio’s and the Acquiring Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rates were 81% and 57%, respectively, of the average value of their portfolios.

Capitalization

The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio as of February 29, 2024, and the pro forma capitalization of the Acquiring Portfolio as if the Reorganization occurred on that date. These numbers may differ as of the Closing Date.

	Actual		Pro Forma
	Target Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio	Acquiring Portfolio (assuming merger with the Target Portfolio)
Net Assets	$51,018,024	$1,583,843,774	$1,634,861,797
Net Asset Value Per Share	$13.65	$14.42	$14.42
Shares Outstanding	3,736,859	109,867,873	113,406,884

The pro forma shares outstanding reflect the issuance by the Acquiring Portfolio of approximately 3,539,011 shares. Such issuance reflects the exchange of the assets of the Target Portfolio for newly issued shares of the Acquiring Portfolio at the pro forma net asset value per share. The aggregate value of the Acquiring Portfolio shares that a Target Portfolio shareholder receives in the Reorganization will equal the aggregate value of the Target Portfolio shares owned immediately prior to the Reorganization.

Performance Information

The following bar charts show the annual returns of the Target Portfolio since its inception and the Acquiring Portfolio for the past ten calendar years. The bar charts include the effects of each Portfolio’s expenses, but not charges or deductions against your Variable Contract, and assume that you sold your investment at the end of the period. If these charges and deductions were included, returns would be lower than those shown.

The Target Portfolio’s total return for the three-month period from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 was 6.91%. The Acquiring Portfolio’s total return for the three-month period from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 was 11.28%. Since the Target Portfolio’s inception on April 28, 2017, its highest quarterly return was 11.57% (for the quarter ended December 31, 2022) and its lowest quarterly return was -17.30% (for the quarter ended March 31, 2020). During the past 10 years, the Acquiring Portfolio’s highest quarterly return was 20.62% (for the quarter ended June 30, 2020) and its lowest quarterly return was -22.53% (for the quarter ended March 31, 2020).

As a basis for evaluating each Portfolio’s performance and risks, the following table shows how each Portfolio’s performance compares with a broad-based market index that the Adviser believes is an appropriate benchmark for such Portfolio. The Target Portfolio compares its performance against the MSCI World Minimum Volatility Index – USD Net Returns, which measures the performance characteristics of a minimum variance strategy applied to a universe of large- and mid-cap stocks in developed market countries. The Acquiring Portfolio compares its performance against the MSCI All Country World Index – USD Net Returns, which measures the performance of stock markets in developed and emerging markets countries throughout the world (excluding the U.S.). Further, the table includes the effects of each Portfolio’s expenses, but not charges or deductions against your Variable Contract. If these charges and deductions were included, returns would be lower than those shown.

Average annual total returns are shown below for each Portfolio for the periods ended December 31, 2023 (the most recently completed calendar year prior to the date of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement). Remember that past performance of a Portfolio is not indicative of its future performance.

Average Annual Total Returns (Periods Ending December 31, 2023)

	Target Portfolio
	1 Year	5 Years	Since Inception 4/28/2017
Portfolio (before taxes)	8.06%	7.58%	6.69%
MSCI World Minimum Volatility Index – USD Net Returns (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)	7.42%	6.95%	6.35%

	Acquiring Portfolio
	1 Year	5 Years	10 Years
Portfolio (before taxes)	22.03%	11.07%	7.95%
MSCI All Country World Index – USD Net Returns (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)	22.20%	11.72%	7.93%

Additional Information About the Reorganization

General

The Reorganization Agreement provides that the Target Portfolio will transfer all of its assets to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio. The Acquiring Portfolio shares issued to the Target Portfolio will have an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the Target Portfolio’s net assets immediately prior to the Reorganization. Upon receipt by the Target Portfolio of Acquiring Portfolio shares, the Target Portfolio will distribute such shares of the Acquiring Portfolio to Target Portfolio shareholders. Then, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date of the Reorganization, the Target Portfolio will dissolve under applicable state law. For the Reorganization of Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Portfolio into Thrivent Global Stock Portfolio, the Adviser anticipates selling approximately 42% of the market value of the Target Portfolio’s investments in conjunction with the Reorganization. As of February 29, 2024, the Target Portfolio’s investments that the Adviser would anticipate selling have a market value of $21,398,834.

The Target Portfolio will distribute the Acquiring Portfolio shares received by it pro rata to Target Portfolio shareholders of record in exchange for their interest in shares of the Target Portfolio. Accordingly, as a result of the Reorganization, each Target Portfolio shareholder would own Acquiring Portfolio shares that would have an aggregate value immediately after the Reorganization equal to the aggregate value of that shareholder’s Target Portfolio shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The interests of each of the Target Portfolio’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. However, as a result of the Reorganization, a shareholder of the Target Portfolio or the Acquiring Portfolio will hold a reduced percentage of ownership in the larger combined portfolio than the shareholder did in either of the separate Portfolios.

The Acquiring Portfolio will be the accounting survivor of the Reorganization.

No sales charge or fee of any kind will be assessed to Target Portfolio shareholders in connection with their receipt of Acquiring Portfolio shares in the Reorganization.

Approval of the Reorganization will constitute approval of amendments to any of the fundamental investment restrictions of the Target Portfolio that might otherwise be

interpreted as impeding the Reorganization, but solely for the purpose of and to the extent necessary for consummation of the Reorganization.

Terms of the Reorganization Agreement

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Reorganization Agreement. The form of Reorganization Agreement is attached as Appendix A to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the Acquiring Portfolio will acquire all of the assets of the Target Portfolio on the Closing Date in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio. Subject to the Target Portfolio’s shareholders approving the Reorganization, the Closing Date shall occur on [July __, 2024], or such other date as determined by an officer of the Fund.

On the Closing Date, the Target Portfolio will transfer to the Acquiring Portfolio all of its assets. The Acquiring Portfolio will in turn transfer to the Target Portfolio a number of its shares equal in value to the value of the net assets of the Target Portfolio transferred to the Acquiring Portfolio as of the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with the valuation method described in the Acquiring Portfolio’s then current prospectus. In order to minimize any potential for undesirable federal income and excise tax consequences in connection with the Reorganization, the Target Portfolio will distribute on or before the Closing Date all or substantially all of its undistributed net investment income (including net capital gains) as of such date.

The Target Portfolio expects to distribute shares of the Acquiring Portfolio received by the Target Portfolio to shareholders of the Target Portfolio promptly after the Closing Date and then dissolve.

The Acquiring Portfolio and the Target Portfolio have made certain standard representations and warranties to each other regarding their capitalization, status and conduct of business. Unless waived in accordance with the Reorganization Agreement, the obligations of the parties to the Reorganization Agreement are conditioned upon, among other things:

•

the approval of the Reorganization by the Target Portfolio’s shareholders;

•

the absence of any rule, regulation, order, injunction or proceeding preventing or seeking to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement;

•

the receipt of all necessary approvals, registrations and exemptions under federal and state laws;

•

the truth in all material respects as of the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the parties and performance and compliance in all material respects with the parties’ agreements, obligations and covenants required by the Reorganization Agreement;

•

the effectiveness under applicable law of the registration statement of the Acquiring Portfolio of which this Prospectus/Proxy Statement forms a part and the absence of any stop orders under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pertaining thereto; and

•

the receipt of an opinion of counsel relating to the characterization of the Reorganization as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes (as further described herein under the heading “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization”).

The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated or amended by the mutual consent of the parties either before or after approval thereof by the shareholders of the Target Portfolio, provided that no such amendment after such approval shall be made if it would have a material adverse effect on the interests of such Target Portfolio’s shareholders. The Reorganization Agreement also may be terminated by the non-breaching party if there has been a material misrepresentation, material breach of any representation or warranty, material breach of contract or failure of any condition to closing.

Reasons for the Proposed Reorganization

In determining whether to recommend approval of the Reorganization Agreement to shareholders of the Target Portfolio, the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the expenses and advisory fees applicable to the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring var:Fund or Portfolio,00000n] before the proposed Reorganization and the estimated expense ratio of the combined portfolio after the proposed Reorganization; (ii) the comparative investment performance of the Portfolios; (iii) the future growth prospects of each Portfolio; (iv) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement; (v) whether the Reorganization would result in the dilution of shareholder interests; (vi) the compatibility of the Portfolios’ investment objectives, policies, risks and restrictions; (vii) that the proposed Reorganization was expected to be a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes; (viii) the compatibility of the Portfolios’ service features available to shareholders; and (ix) the estimated costs of the Reorganization, which, except for

brokerage and other transaction costs, would be borne by the Adviser of the Portfolios. The primary factors in the Board’s determination were the Acquiring Portfolio’s superior recent performance and lower gross and net expense ratios, as well as the benefits of economies of scale of a larger combined portfolio, such as improved growth prospects. The Board considered all factors presented to it, including any adverse factors as described above, and after due consideration concluded that these factors supported a determination to approve the Reorganization Agreement.

The Board believes that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the Target Portfolio’s shareholders because: (i) shareholders will become shareholders of a larger combined portfolio with greater potential to increase asset size and achieve economies of scale; (ii) the Acquiring Portfolio has achieved better performance than the Target Portfolio for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, both in terms of Morningstar peer group rankings and on an absolute basis, though there is no guarantee of future performance; (iii) Thrivent, the Portfolios’ investment adviser, believes that it can most effectively manage the assets currently in the Target Portfolio by combining such assets with the Acquiring Portfolio; and (iv) the Acquiring Portfolio has lower gross and net expense ratios than the Target Portfolio and shareholders of the Target Portfolio will experience lower gross and net expense ratios in the Acquiring Portfolio following the Reorganization.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization

The following is a general summary of the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations, court decisions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). This discussion is limited to U.S. persons who hold shares of the Target Portfolio as capital assets for

U.S. federal income tax purposes on the date of the exchange. For federal income tax purposes, the Contractholders are not the shareholders of the Target Portfolio. Rather, Thrivent and its separate accounts are the shareholders.

This summary does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular Contractholder or to Contractholders who may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax aspects described below. Contractholders should consult their own tax advisers as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization to them, as well as the effects of state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is a condition to closing the Reorganization that the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio receive an opinion from Reed Smith LLP, special counsel to each Portfolio, dated as of the Closing Date, regarding the characterization of the Reorganization as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. As such a reorganization, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization can be summarized as follows: to the effect that on the basis of existing provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative rules and court decisions, generally for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as noted below:

•

the Reorganization will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio will each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

•

under Section 361 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Portfolio upon the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for Acquiring Portfolio shares, or upon the distribution of Acquiring Portfolio shares by the Target Portfolio to its shareholders in liquidation;

•

under Section 1032 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Portfolio upon receipt of the assets transferred to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for Acquiring Portfolio shares;

•

under Section 362(b) of the Code, the Acquiring Portfolio’s tax basis in each asset that the Acquiring Portfolio receives from the Target Portfolio will be the same as the Target Portfolio’s tax basis in such asset immediately prior to such exchange;

•

under Section 1223(2) of the Code, the Acquiring Portfolio’s holding periods in each asset will include the Target Portfolio’s holding periods in such asset;

•

under Section 354 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by shareholders of the Target Portfolio on the distribution of Acquiring Portfolio shares to them in exchange for their shares of the Target Portfolio;

•

under Section 358 of the Code, the aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Portfolio shares that the Target Portfolio’s shareholders receive in exchange for their Target Portfolio shares will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Target Portfolio shares exchanged therefor;

•

under Section 1223(1) of the Code, a Target Portfolio shareholder’s holding period for the Acquiring Portfolio shares received in the Reorganization will be determined by including the holding period for the Target Portfolio shares exchanged therefor, provided that the shareholder held the Target Portfolio shares as a capital asset on the date of the exchange; and

•

under Section 381 of the Code, the Acquiring Portfolio will succeed to and take into account the items of the Target Portfolio described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Section 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder.

The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications made by the officers of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio and will also be based on customary assumptions such as the assumption that the Reorganization will be consummated in accordance with the Reorganization Agreement. The opinion is not a guarantee that the tax consequences of the Reorganization will be as described above. There is no assurance that the IRS or a court would agree with the opinion.

The Acquiring Portfolio intends to continue to be taxed under the rules applicable to regulated investment companies as defined in Section 851 of the Code which are the same rules currently applicable to the Target Portfolio. In connection with the Reorganization, on or before the Closing Date, the Target Portfolio will declare to its shareholders a dividend which, together with all of its previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), net tax-exempt interest income and net capital gains through the Closing Date.

Immediately prior to the Reorganization, the Target Portfolio is not expected to have any unutilized capital loss carryforwards. The final amount of unutilized capital loss carryforwards for the Target Portfolio is subject to change and will not be determined

until the Closing Date. As of February 29, 2024, the capital loss carryforward of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio was $0 and $0, respectively.

Generally, the Acquiring Portfolio will succeed to the capital loss carryforwards of the Target Portfolio, subject to the limitations described below. If the Target Portfolio has capital loss carryforwards, such capital losses would, in the absence of the Reorganization, generally be available to offset Target Portfolio capital gains, thereby reducing the amount of capital gain net income that must be distributed to the Target Portfolio shareholders.

Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, an “equity structure shift” arising as a result of a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code can result in limitations on the post-reorganization Portfolio’s use of capital loss carryforwards of the participating Portfolios. An “equity structure shift” can trigger limitations on capital loss carryforwards where there is a more than 50% change in the ownership of a Portfolio.

The Adviser does not anticipate a limitation on capital loss carryforwards because the Reorganization is not expected to result in a more than 50% change in ownership of the Target Portfolio or the Acquiring Portfolio and the Portfolios are not expected to have capital loss carryforwards.

It is expected that, as of the closing of the Reorganization, all of the Target Portfolio’s investments will be eligible investments of the Acquiring Portfolio. Nonetheless, the Adviser anticipates selling some of the Target Portfolio’s investments in conjunction with the Reorganization. As of February 29, 2024, the Target Portfolio’s investments that the Adviser would anticipate selling are approximately 42% of the Target Portfolio’s net assets and have a market value of $21,398,834.

A portion of the Target Portfolio’s assets may be sold prior to the Reorganization. The actual tax impact of such sales on Target Portfolio shareholders will depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are sold and the Target Portfolio's basis in such assets. Any capital gains recognized in these sales will be distributed to the Target Portfolio's shareholders (but not Contractholders) as capital gain dividends (to the extent of the excess of net realized long-term capital gains over net realized short-term capital losses) and ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital gains) during or with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions will be taxable to Target Portfolio shareholders (but not Contractholders).

Although it is not expected that the Reorganization will be a taxable event for any Contractholder, Contractholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the

specific consequences to them of the Reorganization, including the applicability and effect of state, local, non-U.S. and other tax laws.

Expenses of the Reorganization

All expenses of the Reorganization, except brokerage and other transaction costs, will be paid by the Adviser or an affiliate and will not be borne by Contractholders of the Target Portfolio.

Reorganization expenses include, but are not limited to: all costs related to the preparation and distribution of materials distributed to the Board; all expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of the Reorganization Agreements and a registration statement on Form N-14; SEC and state securities commission filing fees and legal and audit fees in connection with the Reorganizations; the costs of printing and distributing this Prospectus/Proxy Statement; legal fees incurred preparing materials for the Board attending the Board meetings and preparing the Board minutes; auditing fees associated with the Portfolio’s financial statements; portfolio transfer taxes (if any); and any similar expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization. Management of the Portfolios estimates the total cost of the Reorganization of Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Portfolio into Thrivent Global Stock Portfolio to be approximately $55,571. If the Reorganization is not approved by shareholders, the Adviser will still bear the costs of the proposed Reorganization.

Any brokerage and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or disposition of portfolio investments by the Target Portfolio prior to the Reorganization will be borne by the Target Portfolio. Any brokerage and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or disposition of portfolio investments by the Acquiring Portfolio after the Reorganization will be borne by the Acquiring Portfolio. Total brokerage and other transaction costs are estimated to be $11,959, which is two basis points of the Target Portfolio’s net assets as of February 29, 2024.

Additional Information About the Portfolios

Governing Law

The Fund is an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and was organized as a Minnesota corporation on February 24, 1986. The Fund is made up of 32 separate series or “Portfolios.” Each Portfolio of the Fund, other than Thrivent Large Cap Growth Portfolio and Thrivent Partner Healthcare Portfolio, is diversified within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Each Portfolio is in effect a separate investment fund, and a separate class of capital stock of the Fund is issued with respect to each Portfolio.

The Fund’s organizational documents are filed as part of the Fund’s registration statement with the SEC, and shareholders may obtain copies of such documents as described on the first page of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and in the Questions and Answers preceding this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase your Variable Contract through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, Thrivent, the other issuing insurance company, or their related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of the contract, the selection of the Portfolio and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial professional to recommend the Portfolio over another investment. Ask your financial professional or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

The Separate Accounts

Shares in the Fund may be sold, without sales charges, to:

•

Separate accounts of Thrivent, which are used to fund benefits of Variable Contracts issued by Thrivent;

•

Separate accounts of other insurance companies not affiliated with Thrivent,

which are used to fund benefits of Variable Contracts issued by such insurance companies; and

•

Other Portfolios of the Fund.

A prospectus for the Variable Contract describes how the premiums and the assets relating to the Variable Contract may be allocated among one or more of the subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolios of the Fund.

The Fund serves as the underlying investment vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies that are funded through separate accounts established by Thrivent or other insurance companies. It is possible that in the future, it may not be advantageous for variable life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the Portfolios at the same time. Although neither Thrivent nor the Fund currently foresees any such disadvantage, the Fund’s Board monitors events in order to identify any material conflicts between such policy owners and contract owners. Material conflict could result from, for example, (1) changes in state insurance laws, (2) changes in federal income tax law, (3) changes in the investment management of a Portfolio, or (4) differences in voting instructions between those given by policy owners and those given by contract owners. Should it be necessary, the Board would determine what action if any, should be taken on response to any such conflicts.

As a result of differences in tax treatment and other considerations, a conflict could arise between the interests of the variable life insurance contract owners and variable annuity contract owners with respect to their investments in the Fund. The Fund’s Board will monitor events in order to identify the existence of any material irreconcilable conflicts and to determine what action if any, should be taken in response to any such conflicts.

Redeeming Portfolio shares

Shares of the Portfolios may not be redeemed directly by holders of Variable Contracts. The separate accounts holding shares of a Portfolio may redeem shares at the next calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV. Orders received in good order before the close of trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) will be processed at the NAV calculated that day.

Pricing of Portfolio Shares

The price of a Portfolio’s shares is based on the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”). Each Portfolio generally determines its NAV once daily at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If the NYSE has an unscheduled early close but certain other markets remain open until their regularly scheduled closing time, the NAV may be determined as of the regularly scheduled closing time of the NYSE. If the NYSE and/or certain other markets close early due to extraordinary circumstances (e.g., weather, terrorism, etc.), the NAV may be calculated as of the early close of the NYSE and/or other markets. The NAV generally will not be determined on days when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the NYSE and/or certain other markets do not open for trading. The Portfolios generally do not determine NAV on holidays observed by the NYSE or on any other day when the NYSE is closed. The NYSE is regularly closed on Saturdays and Sundays, New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Each Portfolio determines its NAV by adding the value of Portfolio assets, subtracting the Portfolio’s liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of outstanding shares. To determine the NAV, the other Portfolios generally value their securities at current market value using readily available market prices. If market prices are not readily available or if the Adviser determines that they are not reliable, the Board has designated the Adviser to make fair valuation determinations in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Fair valuation of a particular security is an inherently subjective process, with no single standard to utilize when determining a security’s fair value. In each case where a security is fair valued, consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation. This consideration includes a review of various factors set forth in the pricing policies. For any portion of a Portfolio’s assets that are invested in other mutual funds, the NAV is calculated based upon the NAV of the mutual funds in which the Portfolio invests, and the prospectuses for those mutual funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of such a valuation.

Because many foreign markets close before the U.S. markets, significant events may occur between the close of the foreign market and the close of the U.S. markets, when the Portfolio’s assets are valued, that could have a material impact on the valuation of foreign securities (i.e., available price quotations for these securities may not necessarily reflect the occurrence of the significant event). The Adviser evaluates the impact of these significant events and adjusts the valuation of foreign securities to

reflect the fair value as of the close of the U.S. markets to the extent that the available price quotations do not, in the Adviser’s opinion, adequately reflect the occurrence of the significant events.

Please note that the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio have identical valuation policies. As a result, there will be no material change to the value of the Target Portfolio’s assets because of the Reorganization.

Frequent Trading Policies

The Portfolio’s have identical policies with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions. For more information, see “Policy Regarding Frequent Purchases and Redemptions” disclosures in the Fund’s Prospectus, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Reorganization will not affect these policies.

Distributions

Income dividends are derived from investment income, including dividends, interest, and certain foreign currency gains, if any, received by the Portfolios. Dividends of the Portfolios, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

While the Portfolios do not intend to engage in short-term trading, they may dispose of securities held for only a short time if Thrivent believes it to be advisable. Such changes may result in the realization of capital gains. Each Portfolio distributes its realized gains in accordance with federal tax regulations. Distributions from any net realized capital gains will be declared and paid at least annually and in compliance with applicable regulations.

Outstanding Shares and Principal Shareholders

Under the 1940 Act, any person who owns of record or is known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of any class of a Portfolio’s outstanding shares is deemed a principal holder, and any person who owns more than 25% of a Portfolio’s outstanding shares is deemed a control person. A shareholder who beneficially owns more than 25% of a Portfolio’s shares is presumed to “control” the Portfolio, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, and may have a significant impact on matters submitted to a shareholder vote. A shareholder who beneficially owns more than 50% of a Portfolio’s

outstanding shares may be able to approve proposals, or prevent approval of proposals, without regard to votes by other Portfolio shareholders.

At the close of business on the Record Date, the Target Portfolio had outstanding [_____] shares, which is the total number of possible votes on the proposed Reorganization. [As of the Record Date, the Directors and officers of the Target Portfolio as a group owned less than 1% of the shares of the Target Portfolio.] As of the Record Date, no person was known by the Target Portfolio to own beneficially or of record as much as 5% of the shares (principal holders) of the Target Portfolio except as follows:

Shareholder	Shares Outstanding	Approximate Percentage of Ownership
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans	[ ]	[ ]
[ ]	[ ]	[ ]

At the close of business on the Record Date, the Acquiring Portfolio had outstanding [_____] shares. [As of the Record Date, the Directors and officers of the Acquiring Portfolio as a group owned less than 1% of the shares of the Acquiring Portfolio.] As of the Record Date, no person was known by the Acquiring Portfolio to own beneficially or of record as much as 5% of the Acquiring Portfolio shares except as follows:

Shareholder	Shares Outstanding	Approximate Percentage of Ownership
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans	[ ]	[ ]

Financial Highlights

The Target Portfolio’s and the Acquiring Portfolio’s financial highlights for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Fund Prospectus and incorporated herein by reference, have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, whose report thereon is included in the annual report. The financial highlights audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have been incorporated by reference in reliance on their reports given on their authority as experts in auditing and accounting.

Voting and Meeting Information

Record Date

The Board has fixed the close of business on May 3, 2024, as the Record Date for the determination of Contractholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Target Portfolio shareholders on the Record Date are entitled to one vote for each share held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights.

Quorum

A majority of the shares of the Target Portfolio entitled to vote at the Meeting represented in person or by proxy constitutes a quorum. Thrivent and its affiliates together are the record owners of a majority of the shares of the Target Portfolio. Thrivent’s representation at the Meeting will therefore assure the presence of a quorum.

Required Vote

The Board has unanimously approved the Reorganization, subject to shareholder approval. Approval of the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a “Majority of the Outstanding Voting Securities” of the Target Portfolio, which is, under the 1940 Act, the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the shares of the Target Portfolio present at the Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Portfolio are present or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Portfolio.

Thrivent, other insurance companies, and the other Portfolios of the Fund are the sole shareholders and record owners of the Target Portfolio and are entitled to vote all of the shares of the Target Portfolio at the Meeting. Variable Contract owners who, by virtue of their ownership of Variable Contracts, beneficially owned shares of the Target Portfolio as of the Record Date may instruct Thrivent or other insurance companies how to vote the shares of the Target Portfolio underlying their Variable Contracts.

Voting

Target Portfolio shareholders may vote in any one of four ways: (i) Internet, (ii) phone, (iii) mail, or (iv) in person at the Meeting. Instructions on how to vote by Internet, phone and mail are included with the enclosed proxy materials.

The required control number for Internet and telephone voting is printed on the enclosed proxy card. The control number is used to match voting proxy cards with Contractholders’ respective accounts and to ensure that, if multiple proxy cards are executed, shares are voted in accordance with the proxy card bearing the latest date. The Target Portfolio employs procedures for Internet and phone voting, such as requiring the control number from the proxy card in order to vote by either of these methods, which it considers to be reasonable to confirm that the instructions received are genuine. If reasonable procedures are employed, the Target Portfolio will not be liable for following Internet or phone votes which it believes to be genuine.

All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” the approval of the proposed Reorganization. If a proxy card is timely returned with no voting instructions, the shares of the Target Portfolio will be voted FOR the Reorganization.

If your voting instructions are not timely received, any shares of the Target Portfolio attributable to a Variable Contract you own will be voted by the respective Shareholder in proportion to the voting instructions received for all Variable Contracts issued by that Shareholder participating in the proxy solicitation for the Target Portfolio. This voting procedure may result in a relatively small number of Contractholders determining the outcome of the vote. No minimum response is required from Contractholders before Thrivent will vote the Target Portfolio shares.

Any shares of the Target Portfolio held by Thrivent or its affiliates for their own account and any shares held in an asset allocation portfolio managed by Thrivent will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions received from all Contractholders participating

in the proxy solicitation for the Target Portfolio. This voting procedure may also result in a relatively small number of Contractholders determining the outcome of the vote.

Revocation of Voting Instructions

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., where a nominee such as a broker holding shares for beneficial owners votes on certain matters pursuant to discretionary authority or instructions from beneficial owners, but with respect to one or more proposals does not receive instructions from beneficial owners or does not exercise discretionary authority) will be deemed present for quorum purposes. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the Reorganization.

Solicitation of Voting Instructions

Solicitation of proxies is being made primarily by the mailing of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement with its enclosures on or about [May __, 2024]. Contractholders of the Target Portfolio whose shares are held by nominees, such as brokers, can vote their proxies by contacting their respective nominee. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, employees of Thrivent and its affiliates, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies in person or by phone, telegraph, facsimile or oral communication. The Target Portfolio has engaged Mediant, a professional proxy services firm, to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and additional solicitation (if any) and the tabulation of proxies, pursuant to a Master Agreement with BetaNXT, Inc., the owner of Mediant, which includes a statement of work. The Master Agreement includes provisions for limitation of liability and termination and a statement of work describing Mediant’s obligations with respect to proxy solicitation.

Thrivent anticipates that additional telephone solicitation by Mediant will not be necessary. Any direct costs associated with the proxy solicitation and Meeting, including printing, distribution, and any proxy solicitation costs as well as the costs of

the Meeting, will be paid by the Adviser. The costs to the Adviser for the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation and tabulation of proxies are not expected to exceed $11,832. If the Reorganization is not approved by shareholders, the Adviser will still bear the costs associated with the proxy solicitation and Meeting.

We ask that you promptly mail your proxy card or voting instruction card, for which no postage is required if mailed in the United States, or record your voting instructions by Internet or phone, regardless of whether you plan to attend the Meeting.

Other Matters to Come Before the Meeting

The Board knows of no business other than that described in the Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting.

Possible Adjournment

In the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the proposed Reorganization are not received, proxies (including abstentions and broker non-votes) will be voted in favor of one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies, provided that the Board determines that such an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interest of Contractholders based on a consideration of all relevant factors, including the nature of the particular proposal, the percentage of votes then cast, the percentage of negative votes cast, the nature of the proposed solicitation activities and the nature of the reasons for such further solicitation. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares voted at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned.

Annual or Special Meetings of Shareholders

There will be no annual or further special meetings of shareholders of the Fund unless required by applicable law or called by the Board in its discretion. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholder meeting should send their written proposals to the Secretary of the Fund, 901 Marquette Ave., Suite 2500, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402-3211. Shareholder proposals should be received in a reasonable time before the solicitation is made.

Appendix A—Form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) is made as of [July __, 2024] by Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), a Minnesota corporation, on behalf of its series, Thrivent Global Stock Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”) and Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Portfolio (the “Target Portfolio”). Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is also party to the Agreement solely for purposes of Section 3.F.

Witnesseth:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, on behalf of each of the Acquiring Portfolio and the Target Portfolio, has determined that entering into this Agreement whereby the Target Portfolio would transfer all of its assets to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio, is in the best interests of the shareholders of their respective Fund; and

WHEREAS, the parties intend that this transaction qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Plan of Transaction.

A. Transfer of Assets. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof, the Target Portfolio will convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Portfolio at the closing, provided for in Section 2 hereof, all of the existing assets of the Target Portfolio (including accrued interest to the Closing Date) (as defined below), free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims whatsoever (the assets so transferred collectively being referred to as the “Assets”).

B. Consideration. In consideration thereof, the Acquiring Portfolio agrees that the Acquiring Portfolio at the closing will deliver to the Target Portfolio, full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of the Acquiring Portfolio having net asset values per share calculated as provided in Section 3(A) hereof, in an amount equal to the aggregate dollar value of the Assets determined pursuant to

Section 3(A) hereof net of any liabilities of the Target Portfolio described in Section 3(E) hereof (the “Liabilities”) (collectively, the “Acquiring Portfolio Shares”). The calculation of full and fractional Acquiring Portfolio Shares to be exchanged shall be carried out to no less than two (2) decimal places. All Acquiring Portfolio Shares delivered to the Target Portfolio in exchange for such Assets shall be delivered at net asset value without sales load, commission or other transactional fees being imposed.

2. Closing of the Transaction.

A. Closing Date. The closing shall occur within thirty (30) business days after the later of the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and the final adjournment of the meeting of shareholders of the Target Portfolio at which this Agreement will be considered and approved, or such later date as soon as practicable thereafter, as the parties may mutually agree (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, the Acquiring Portfolio shall deliver to the Target Portfolio the Acquiring Portfolio Shares in the amount determined pursuant to Section 1(B) hereof and the Target Portfolio thereafter shall, in order to effect the distribution of such shares to the Target Portfolio shareholders, instruct the Acquiring Portfolio to register the pro rata interest in the Acquiring Portfolio Shares (in full and fractional shares) of each of the holders of record of shares of the Target Portfolio in accordance with their holdings of shares of the Target Portfolio and shall provide as part of such instruction a complete and updated list of such holders (including addresses and taxpayer identification numbers), and the Acquiring Portfolio agrees promptly to comply with said instruction. The Acquiring Portfolio shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety or correctness of such instruction, but shall assume that such instruction is valid, proper and correct.

3. Procedure for Reorganization.

A. Valuation. The value of the Assets of the Target Portfolio to be transferred by the Acquiring Portfolio shall be computed as of the Closing Date, in the manner set forth in the most recent Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the Acquiring Portfolio (collectively, the “Acquiring Portfolio Prospectus”), copies of which have been delivered to the Target Portfolio.

B. Delivery of Portfolio Assets. The Assets shall be delivered to State Street Bank and Trust Company as Custodian for the Acquiring Portfolio or such other custodian as designated by the Acquiring Portfolio (collectively the “Custodian”) for the benefit of the Acquiring Portfolio, duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute a good delivery thereof, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and

claims whatsoever, in accordance with the custom of brokers, and shall be accompanied by all necessary state stock transfer stamps, if any, the cost of which shall be borne by the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio, in proportion to their respective declines in total operating expenses, if any.

C. Failure to Deliver Securities. If the Target Portfolio is unable to make delivery pursuant to Section 3(B) hereof to the Custodian of any of the securities of the Target Portfolio for the reason that any such securities purchased by the Target Portfolio have not yet been delivered it by the Target Portfolio’s broker or brokers, then, in lieu of such delivery, the Target Portfolio shall deliver to the Custodian, with respect to said securities, executed copies of an agreement of assignment and due bills executed on behalf of such broker or brokers, together with such other documents as may be required by the Acquiring Portfolio or Custodian, including brokers’ confirmation slips.

D. Shareholder Accounts. The Acquiring Portfolio, in order to assist the Target Portfolio in the distribution of the Acquiring Portfolio Shares to the Target Portfolio shareholders after delivery of the Acquiring Portfolio Shares to the Target Portfolio, will establish pursuant to the request of the Target Portfolio an open account with the Acquiring Portfolio for each shareholder of the Target Portfolio and, upon request by the Target Portfolio, shall transfer to such accounts, the exact number of Acquiring Portfolio Shares then held by the Target Portfolio specified in the instruction provided pursuant to Section 2 hereof.

E. Liabilities. The Liabilities shall include all of the Target Portfolio’s liabilities, debts, obligations, and duties of whatever kind or nature, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, whether or not determinable at the Closing Date, and whether or not specifically referred to in this Agreement. The Target Portfolio will discharge all of its Liabilities prior to or on the Closing Date.

F. Expenses. In the event that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (or an affiliate thereof) shall pay the expenses of the Reorganization, including the costs of the special meeting of shareholders of the Target Fund. In addition, as part of the Reorganization, the Target Fund will write off its remaining unamortized organizational expenses, if any, which shall be reimbursed by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (or an affiliate thereof). The Acquiring Fund shall bear expenses associated with the qualification of shares of the Acquiring Fund for sale in the various states. In addition, to the extent that any transition of Fund securities is required in connection with the Reorganization, the respective Fund may incur transaction expenses associated with the sale and

purchase of Fund securities. In the event that the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated for any reason, then all reasonable outside expenses incurred to the date of termination of this Agreement shall be borne by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (or an affiliate thereof).

G. Dissolution. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date but in no event later than one year after the Closing Date, the Target Portfolio shall voluntarily dissolve and completely liquidate by taking, in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota and federal securities laws, all steps as shall be necessary and proper to effect a complete liquidation and dissolution of the Target Portfolio. Immediately after the Closing Date, the share transfer books relating to the Target Portfolio shall be closed and no transfer of shares shall thereafter be made on such books.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Target Portfolio.

The Target Portfolio hereby represents and warrants to the Acquiring Portfolio, which representations and warranties are true and correct on the date hereof, and agrees with the Acquiring Portfolio that:

A. Organization. The Fund is a corporation, with transferable shares, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in conformity with the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Target Portfolio is a separate series of the Fund duly organized in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Fund, as amended through the date hereof (the “Articles of Incorporation”). The Fund and the Target Portfolio are qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which it is required to be so qualified, except jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Target Portfolio.

The Fund shall file all reports required to be filed by the Target Portfolio and Acquiring Portfolio with the SEC between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date and the Target Portfolio and Acquiring Portfolio shall deliver to the other party copies of all such reports promptly after the same are filed.

Each of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals and authorizations required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to make all necessary filings with the appropriate federal and state officials.

C. Preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. In connection with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, each party hereto will cooperate with the other and furnish to the other the information relating to the Target Portfolio or Acquiring Portfolio, as the case may be, required by the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, to be set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. The Target Portfolio shall promptly prepare the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the Acquiring Portfolio shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement, in which the Prospectus/Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. In connection with the Registration Statement, insofar as it relates to the Target Portfolio and its affiliated persons, the Acquiring Portfolio shall only include such information as is approved by the Target Portfolio for use in the Registration Statement.

The Target Portfolio and Acquiring Portfolio covenant and agree to dispose of certain assets prior to the Closing Date, but only if and to the extent necessary, so that at Closing, when the Assets are added to the Acquiring Portfolio’s portfolio, the resulting portfolio will meet the Acquiring Portfolio’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, as set forth in the Acquiring Portfolio’s Prospectus, a copy of which has been delivered to the Target Portfolio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will require the Target Portfolio to dispose of any portion of the Assets if, in the reasonable judgment of the Target Portfolio’s Directors or investment adviser,

such disposition would create more than an insignificant risk that the Reorganization would not be treated as a “reorganization” described in Section 368(a) of the Code.

G. Distribution of Shares. The Target Portfolio covenants that at closing it shall cause to be distributed the Acquiring Portfolio Shares in the proper pro rata amount for the benefit of Target Portfolio’s shareholders and that the Target Portfolio shall not continue to hold amounts of said shares so as to cause a violation of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act.

I. Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action is necessary or desirable in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper directors and officers of each party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary action.

K. Tax Status of Reorganization. The intention of the parties is that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Neither the Acquiring Portfolio nor the Target Portfolio shall take any action, or cause any action to be taken (including, without limitation, the

filing of any tax return) that is inconsistent with such treatment or results in the failure of the transaction to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. At or prior to the Closing Date, the Acquiring Portfolio and the Target Portfolio will take such action, or cause such action to be taken, as is reasonably necessary to enable Reed Smith LLP (“Reed Smith”), special counsel to the Acquiring Portfolio and the Target Portfolio, to render the tax opinion required herein (including, without limitation, each party’s execution of representations reasonably requested by Reed Smith).

Each party (an “Indemnitor”) shall indemnify and hold the other and its directors, officers, agents and persons controlled by or controlling any of them (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, settlements, deficiencies, taxes, assessments, charges, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense or disposition of any claim, action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or investigative body in which such Indemnified Party may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such Indemnified Party may be or may have been threatened (collectively, the “Losses”) arising out of or related to any claim of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made herein by the Indemnitor, provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be indemnified hereunder against any Losses arising directly from such Indemnified Party’s (i) willful misfeasance, (ii) bad faith, (iii) gross negligence or (iv) reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Indemnified Party’s position.

C. Indemnification Procedure. The Indemnified Party shall use its best efforts to minimize any liabilities, damages, deficiencies, claims, judgments, assessments, costs and expenses in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnitor within the earlier of ten (10) days of receipt of written notice to the Indemnified Party or thirty (30) days from discovery by the Indemnified Party of any matters which may give rise to a claim for indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement. The failure to give such notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnity hereunder unless such failure has materially and adversely affected the rights of the Indemnitor; provided that in any event such notice shall have been given prior to the expiration of the Survival Period. At any time after ten (10) days from the giving of such notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, resist, settle or otherwise compromise, or pay

such claim unless it shall have received notice from the Indemnitor that the Indemnitor intends, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, to assume the defense of any such matter, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at no cost or expense to the Indemnitor, to participate in such defense. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such matter, and in any event until the Indemnitor states in writing that it will assume the defense, the Indemnitor shall pay all costs of the Indemnified Party arising out of the defense until the defense is assumed; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall consult with the Indemnitor and obtain the Indemnitor’s prior written consent to any payment or settlement of any such claim. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense, the Indemnified Party shall keep Indemnitor apprised at all times as to the status of the defense. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.

12. Survival.

The provisions set forth in Sections 10, 11 and 16 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any cause whatsoever.

13. Notices.

All notices hereunder shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered mail or certified mail, postage prepaid.

15. Books and Records.

Statement of Additional Information

[May __, 2024]

This Statement of Additional Information is available to the shareholders of Thrivent Low Volatility Equity Portfolio (the “Target Portfolio”), a series of Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. (the “Registrant”), in connection with the proposed reorganization (“the Reorganization”) whereby all of the assets of the Target Portfolio would be transferred to Thrivent Global Stock Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”), a series of the Registrant, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement dated [May __, 2024] related to the Reorganization (the “Prospectus/Proxy Statement”). The Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Portfolio” or collectively as the “Portfolios.”

This Statement of Additional Information is not a prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. A copy of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement may be obtained without charge by writing to Mediant, P.O. Box 8035, Cary, NC 27512-9916 or calling toll-free 888-441-3205. To access an electronic copy of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement from Mediant at www.proxypush.com/THR, you will need to provide the control number printed on your proxy card.

The Acquiring Portfolio will provide, without charge, upon the request of any person to whom this Statement of Additional Information is delivered, a copy of any and all documents that have been incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this Statement of Additional Information is a part.

Proposed Reorganization

The Contractholders and Shareholders of the Target Portfolio are being asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) pursuant to which the Target Portfolio would (i) transfer all of its assets to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio, (ii) distribute such Acquiring Portfolio shares to Contractholders and Shareholders of the Target Portfolio, and (iii) dissolve. A form of the Reorganization Agreement is provided in Appendix A of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Additional Information About the Portfolios

This Statement of Additional Information incorporates by reference the following documents (or designated portions thereof) that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 811-04603 and 033-03677):

The Statement of Additional Information of Thrivent Series Fund, Inc., dated April 30, 2023 (the “Fund SAI”), Fund SAI supplement filed February 29, 2024, and Fund SAI supplement filed August 4, 2023 , with respect to the Target and Acquiring Portfolios.

The Statement of Additional Information of Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. dated April 30, 2024, filed on [April 30, 2024]. [to be filed]

The financial statements of the Portfolios included in Thrivent Series Fund, Inc.’s annual shareholder report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as filed on Form N-CSR on February 27, 2024.

Supplemental Financial Information

A table showing the fees and expenses of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio, and the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Portfolio on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization, is included in the “Comparison of the Portfolios--Fees and Expenses” section of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

The Reorganization will not result in a material change to the Target Portfolio's investment portfolio due to the investment restrictions of the Acquiring Portfolio. In particular, each security held by the Target Portfolio is eligible to be held by the Acquiring Portfolio. As a result, a schedule of investments of the Target Portfolio modified to show the effects of the change is not required and is not included.

There are no material differences in accounting policies of the Target Portfolio as compared to those of the Acquiring Portfolio.

PART C: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15.

Indemnification

Section 4.01 of Registrant’s First Amended and Restated Bylaws, filed as an Exhibit to this Registration Statement, contains provisions requiring the indemnification by Registrant of its directors, officers and certain others under certain conditions. If so required, Registrant shall indemnify its trustees, officers or employees for such expenses whether or not there is an adjudication of liability, if, pursuant to Investment Company Act Release 11330, a determination is made that such person is entitled to indemnification by: (i) final decision of the court before which the proceeding was brought; or (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based on factual review, that the person is entitled to indemnification is made by: (a) a majority vote of disinterested, independent trustees; or (b) independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Advancement of expenses incurred in defending such actions may be made pursuant to Release 11330, provided that the person undertakes to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that such person is entitled to indemnification and one or more of the following conditions is met: (1) the person provides security for the undertaking; (2) Registrant is insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or (3) a majority of disinterested non-party trustees or independent legal counsel in a written opinion determines, based on review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe the person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registrant and its officers, employees, and agents are insured under the fidelity bond required by Rule 17g-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
