The “survivor gap”Will you need to replace lost retirement income?

Thrivent.com

When it comes to your retirement, what sources of income can you and your spouse rely on?

What would happen if some of that income were reduced or eliminated because one of you died? Would you or your spouse be able to maintain your lifestyle?

Survivor gap is a common issueAs the scenario below depicts, the death of a spouse during retirement can drastically change the lifestyle of the survivor—especially if a couple relied on both incomes to meet expenses. Not only can income go down dramatically, but expenses can increase upon the first death due to factors such as single tax-filing status, home-health-care needs and home-maintenance needs.

One couple’s retirement income scenarioThis couple selected a pension option that leaves the wife with limited income upon the husband’s death. The scenario also reflects that upon the first death, the lower of the two Social Security payments “goes away.”

If the husband were to die first, his wife would see her monthly income decrease by $1,500. For someone age 65, this could result in a financial loss of $360,000 or more over 20 years (not adjusted for inflation).

Will you have an income gap?Without your income, could your loved ones:

• Afford adequate health care?

• Keep your current house and stay in the community?

• Meet pledges made to churches and other charities?

• Pay all ongoing bills (including insurance, property taxes and income taxes)?

• Pay for transportation and recreation?

Monthly income source Together Husband alone Wife alone

Husband’s pension $2,000 $2,000 $1,000

Husband’s Social Security $1,000 $1,000 $1,000

Wife’s Social Security $500 $0 $0

Total monthly income $3,500 $3,000 $2,000

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, its affiliated companies, and their employees and representatives do not give legal, tax or accounting advice. The brief discussion of taxes in this brochure is not intended to be comprehensive and is subject to change at any time. Tax laws and regulations are complex and depend on individual circumstances. For complete details, consult your attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor.

Accumulated value is available when net premiums paid plus any earnings exceed the partial surrenders, decrease charges, monthly deductions, and any other contract charges subtracted from the contract.

The cost-of-insurance rate per thousand dollars of the net amount at risk (included as part of the monthly deduction) increases annually due to the increased mortality at older ages.

While the features of Universal Life II may make this an appropriate product solution, these features, along with the varying accumulated value in relation to the credited interest rate, mean that a Universal Life II contract should be periodically reviewed. Your Thrivent Financial representative will assist you with this review.

This is a solicitation for insurance. For information about Universal Life II, contact your Thrivent Financial representative who can provide information on the contract provisions, including: monthly deductions, charges and fees, surrender charges, decrease charges, reduction of benefits, and terms under which this contract will continue in force or be discontinued. It is possible that coverage may terminate prior to maturity even if scheduled premiums are paid in a timely manner.

This contract has exclusions, limitations, reduction of benefits, and terms under which the contract may be continued in force or discontinued. For costs and complete details of coverage, please contact your Thrivent Financial representative or call Thrivent Financial at 800-847-4836.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST abcdefgh i jklmnopqrstuvw

Stone Sans Stone Serif Stone Informal

Alternative:If designing a piece for print that will also be used electronically, theArial type family is the alternative sans serif typeface for use in headlines and callouts on PC-based applications (e .g ., Microsoft Word and PowerPoint) .

The Times New Roman type family is the alternative serif typeface for use in body copy on PC-based applications .

Photography style

This guide is meant to help in the selection or creation of photography for Thrivent Financial’s communications . Choosing the right photos strengthens our brand’s personality and our emotional appeal to our members . Whenever visuals are included, 4-color photography should be used, not illustrations .

Our brand invites people to partner with us and thrive . Appropriate images should be full color and show people thriving, not only monetarily, but also in their personal lives and in their relationships with others .

When selecting images for our image library, use the following words as guiding principles:

People Thriving

Growth Positive

Uplifting Confident

Natural/bright lighting Engaged

When selecting images, we should represent the diverse world around us . Therefore, our materials should reflect diversity in terms of ethnicity, range of ages, people who are single, married without kids, married with kids, and people with disabilities .

In multiple-page pieces, images selected should reflect all the principles above . Single-page pieces should include diversity where possible .

A few symbolic images are acceptable if they are needed to convey a concept as long as they follow the principles above and have a human element (you can tell that someone was there) .

All images are owned by Thrivent Financial and are available for purchase at Gettyimages .com and Veer .com

selecting Visuals for Internal-Use-Only materials

Visuals used in internal-use-only communications (posters, presentations, flyers, etc .) should follow the same basic principles found in the Photography Style section of the Brand Design Guidelines . Please read and become familiar with these guidelines . Because many internal communications are focused on business concepts, processes and employees, additional visual criteria have been established .

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Acceptable visuals include:

• Conceptual or metaphorical visuals that provide a clear correlation to the message .

• Conceptual photography, selected from an approved source and brand reviewed .

• Conceptual illustrations, selected from an approved source.

Unacceptable visuals include:

• Photography and illustrations that are pulled from other sources.

• Visuals that do not have a direct correlation to the message.

• Visuals that detract from our brand.

To learn how to access these approved sources, please contact your Thrivent Financial Communications partner .

Video and staging Brand Guidelines

INTRODUCTION

These video/staging guidelines are in addition to the overarching Thrivent Financial Brand Design Guidelines . The purpose is the same: To present a clear, consistent message about who we (as employees, representatives, members and/or volunteers) are and what makes us unique.

OUR BRAND

Branding is more than our logo, colors and fonts . It’s about emotion and personality . Therefore, these guidelines assist you in representing our brand in an honest, professional way in video and staging .

Work with CommunicationsBe sure to contact Creative Services before initiating any scripts, storyboards, staging, etc .

23For Corporate Office and Operations Center use only25500D R6-11

GRAPHICs

Thrivent Financial LogoThe Thrivent Financial (affiliate or subsidiary) logo must always be displayed as a unit including the heart, and the tagline . The heart cannot be used alone . The logo can be lit with a glow or reflection, as long at it is kept as a single unit .

In the case of moving gobos, the logo and a part of the logo may be animated into position . But once in position, the logo must be a single unit and cannot move . The logo cannot rotate, revolve or move around .

sETs

All set pieces and cycs should be solid colors using the approved color palette . The use of patterns and textures is not allowed .

Any pictorial images should be in four-color and follow our photography style .

White lines to create areas of color may be used .

lIGHTING

There should be attractive shadows on the presenter’s face, providing depth and interest . The use of colored gels on the presenter should be kept at a bare minimum .

live Presentations

24For Corporate Office and Operations Center use only25500D R6-11

UsE OF VIDEO

All video should be shot and finished in a 16:9 aspect ratio . Typography should follow our brand standards: the Stone family of type .

sCREENs

Height—no less than the distance between the presenter, and the farthest audience member divided by 6 . In other words, if the farthest person is 36’ from the presenter the screen must be at least 6’ high .

Format—16:9 aspect ratio .

Screen placement—at least 4’ from the ground .

If room limitations prevent the use of the correct screen size, then additional screens must be added in the middle of the room to accommodate the people in the back of the room .

UsE OF POWERPOINT

Use the 16x9 aspect ratio . Go to the Page Setup function and manually set it at 10 x 5 .63 inches .

If new templates are needed for a specific event, they must be approved in advance by Creative Services .

live Presentations

25For Corporate Office and Operations Center use only25500D R6-11

GRAPHICs

The logo may either be vertical (stacked) or horizontal and may be in black or white, depending on the background .

Text must follow the brand typography guidelines; however, it may have a moving glow or drop shadow .

Nonstandard type fonts must be approved in advance by Creative Services .

When static on the screen, the logo must be displayed as a unit with the heart and the tagline . The logo may have a glow or a glisten moving through it .

When the logo is brought onto the screen, it may come as separate, sequential elements: name, heart and tagline . Each element can move independently .

If the logo is brought onto screen in elements, the amount of “move time” must follow a 1:5 ratio, in relation to the amount of “static time” the logo receives . For example: If it takes 1 second to bring the elements on and assemble them, the static logo must remain on the screen for 5 seconds .

The heart element must be in color and according to approved color palette guidelines; however, colors can be affected by shadows and glows as it is animated on .

sUPPORT GRAPHICs

All support graphics should be on a flat background, using colors from the approved pallete . Graphics may utilize white bars to differentiate areas, but may not have any patterns or texture .

Video

26For Corporate Office and Operations Center use only25500D R6-11

lOWER 1/3RDs

Lower 1/3rds may build on but if they use the logo the use of the logo falls under the logo guidelines above .

Lower 1/3rds must use approved Thrivent fonts.

If Lower 1/3rds are on a background, the background must be a solid with no texture or pattern.

INTERVIEWs

Format: 16:9 with special consideration to foreground and background composition . Interviews should not follow a 4:3 framing parameter .

Background: Slightly out of focus, but not so much as to look artificial or have a graphic quality .

In most cases, the person being interviewed should be looking off camera, but looking directly into the camera is allowed in certain instances .

Video

Brad HewittPresident and CEO

27For Corporate Office and Operations Center use only25500D R6-11

Lighting: There needs to be a key source, fill and back light so that there is interest and texture in the face . This applies to interviews shot inside and outside, and will likely require additional time .

Portrait backgrounds, chroma-key backgrounds and graphic backgrounds should be avoided .

Sound quality is a paramount consideration for all interviews .

B-ROll

B-roll should be well lit and generally high key . Moving camera work is not recommended—avoid rash movements or jerkiness .

If a moving camera is used, the moves should be planned (not random) and smooth—avoid rash movements or jerkiness .

B-roll should capture people doing things with the emphasis on faces—close-ups are strongly encouraged .

The compositional benefits of the 16:9 aspect ratio should be used extensively, including the use of foreground/background focus and focus changes to direct the audience’s attention.

mUsIC

Music sound should be simple and clean . Instrumentation should be kept to a minimum, avoiding orchestral music, multi-layered music, and heavy rock .

The optimal track has clean, group ensemble music with a good rhythm .

Video

28For Corporate Office and Operations Center use only25500D R6-11

Sets should be realistic, as in creating an office look, and simple .

For nonrealistic sets, the background should be a single color or blocks of color with no texture . White lines to divide areas are permitted .

Subtle lighting effects can be used to create depth and interest .

elearning Brand Guidelines

FONT UsE

Use Stone family fonts for all title, headings, sub-headings, and buttons labels . Body font at screen size 16 and below is Ariel . Exceptions may be made when appropriate to the message and part of a localized design theme . For example, if a wedding metaphor is being used to communicate a concept on a page, a cursive script may be used as part of the graphic .

COlORs

Use solid colors from the Thrivent palette; RGB except where displayed color on DELL or IBM laptops and monitors is visually and obviously inconsistent with the PMS colors, in which case adjustments can be made . Screens can be made of colors to use behind text or as a contrast to a darker color . If a course is related to a program or product that already has colors associated with it, those colors should be used for the course .

BACKGROUND

Use solid color blocks with a white border where appropriate . Color blocks define functional areas, e .g ., title, navigation, body text, etc . One-color line art may be integrated with the color block where it supports the metaphor or design theme .

lOGO PlACEmENT

Logos should be placed in the title or bottom color block with as much space around the logo as possible .

BUTTONs & CONTROls

Button and control labels should be in the Stone font . Colors are from the Thrivent color palette, but may be gradient . If solid colors are used, block shapes are preferred . Rounded corners may be used . Special shapes (circles, etc .) may be used if the control needs more emphasis . Usability is the primary consideration .

ANImATIONs

Use the standard open/close logo animation as part of an animated introduction. (Media Productions will have a Flash version for use in eLearning .) Line art and text animations may be used when the instructional designer determines it is the best way to tell the story or train the concept . Graphs may also be animated .

PHOTOGRAPHy

Use brand-standard photos from the Thrivent library when appropriate . When training a concept best illustrated with an inanimate or natural object, reflect human interaction when possible, but, for training and internal use, eLearning is not limited to this type .

ClIP ART UsE

High-quality line art may be used to illustrate concepts . Use EPS graphics from the Thrivent Internal Use Image Library (available in the future) when possible . Line art color should be consistent with the brand colors used in the course .

Putting It All Together: Brand Examples

The use of white space at the top of all our pieces creates an area which allows our brand to be easily recognized . It also helps convey our promise of simplicity . While it may seem to occupy precious space, it’s important to keep this space free . For collateral originators, this means using the remaining space efficiently by using concise, simple language and focusing on only a few concepts .

Our color palette remains the same with the addition of screening back our colors to 70% .

Jane and Eric are in their mid-thirties with three energetic children. Eric is a self-employed

electrician and Jane works part-time for a small publishing company.

If something were to happen to Eric, he wants Jane to be financially secure enough to be

able to spend time with the children instead of having to work full-time. Jane knows that

Eric would have a difficult time without her part-time income, and he would need extra

help caring for the children so he can keep his business up and running.

Losing either one of them would not only affect their current way of life, but could

do serious damage to everything they’ve planned for the future. To put these worries to

rest, they realize they need to consider ways of increasing life insurance protection on

their lives.

“Providing for our family is important in case anything happens to either of us.”

Preserving and enhancing your family’s financial security

Cash valueAmount of money available from a permanent life insurance contract for withdrawals or contract loans—often on a tax-free basis.

Death benefitThe amount paid by an insurance company to a beneficiary named in a life insurance contract upon the death of the individual insured by the contract.

Life insurance falls into one of two major categories: term and permanent.

Term life insuranceFor temporary coverage, term life insurance provides coverage at a reasonable cost during a specified period of time and pays a benefit only if you die during the term. It may be a smart decision at a time in your life when the cost of permanent insurance is beyond your reach.

Term life insurance offers:

•Guaranteed level premiums for the time period you select.

•Guaranteed level death benefit as long as make premium payments.

•Conversion privilege allows you to convert to permanent life insurance as your needs change.

Permanent life insuranceAs the name implies, permanent life insurance is designed to provide permanent, long-term coverage, with the added benefit of cash value. It can be either traditional or flexible life insurance.

Whole life insurance is the most commonly known type of traditional permanent life insurance. It’s a good choice if you like guarantees. As long as premiums are paid, it offers:

•Guaranteed level premiums that will not fluctuate.

•Guaranteed death benefit payable no matter when death occurs.

•Guaranteed cash values throughout the life of the contract.

Solutions to consider

Life insurance can provide essential financial protection—and flexibility. Choosing the right life insurance

solution for you is a personal decision. No matter which type you choose, protecting your family’s financial

security with life insurance is something you should consider.

INSURANCE

Milestone Put life insurance to work for you

Education Use the accumulated value in your contract to help pay college costs for your children through contract loans and partial surrenders.1

Retirement During your retirement, you can use the accumulated value for supplemental income through contract loans or partial surrenders.1

Wealth transfer Life insurance can be a valuable tool for transferring wealth to your heirs since death proceeds are generally excludable from the beneficiary’s gross income (under current tax law IRC Sec. 101 (a)(1)).

Legacy If you wish to give cash or other property to charity, permanent life insurance can help to replace the value of the gifted property, preserving your estate for your heirs.

Death benefit options provide even more flexibility

Universal Life II gives you the choice of two death benefit options. You can increase or decrease the coverage on your existing contract throughout your lifetime.1 Or change from one death benefit option to the other (within contractual limitations).

• With Option 1, your contract will provide a level death benefit equal to the face amount, which means that your death benefit will not change as your accumulated value varies. Option 1 can help keep your insurance costs down and may be appropriate if you do not expect your life insurance needs to increase.

• With Option 2, your contract will provide a variable death benefit that changes with your accumulated value. Your beneficiaries will receive the face amount you select plus the accumulated value of your contract. Option 2 may be appropriate if you want your death benefit to change as your accumulated value varies, or if you expect your life insurance needs to increase.

With either option, as your accumulated value grows, the death benefit may be increased so your contract remains in compliance with Internal Revenue Code regulations.

1 Increases and decreases have limitations related to contract size and your age. Increases may require evidence of insurability. Decrease charges may apply to a decrease in coverage.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, its affiliated companies, and their employees and representatives do not give legal, tax or accounting advice. The brief discussion of taxes in this brochure is not intended to be comprehensive and is subject to change at any time. Tax laws and regulations are complex and depend on individual circumstances. For complete details, consult your attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor.

Accumulated value is available when net premiums paid plus any earnings exceed the partial surrenders, decrease charges, monthly deductions, and any other contract charges subtracted from the contract.

The cost-of-insurance rate per thousand dollars of the net amount at risk (included as part of the monthly deduction) increases annually due to the increased mortality at older ages.

While the features of Universal Life II may make this an appropriate product solution, these features, along with the varying accumulated value in relation to the credited interest rate, mean that a Universal Life II contract should be periodically reviewed. Your Thrivent Financial representative will assist you with this review.

This is a solicitation for insurance. For information about Universal Life II, contact your Thrivent Financial representative who can provide information on the contract provisions, including: monthly deductions, charges and fees, surrender charges, decrease charges, reduction of benefits, and terms under which this contract will continue in force or be discontinued. It is possible that coverage may terminate prior to maturity even if scheduled premiums are paid in a timely manner.

This contract has exclusions, limitations, reduction of benefits, and terms under which the contract may be continued in force or discontinued. For costs and complete details of coverage, please contact your Thrivent Financial representative or call Thrivent Financial at 800-847-4836.

Tax advantages of life insurance

Universal Life II and other life insurance products offer a variety of tax advantages.

• Tax-free death benefitOne of the most significant advantages of life insurance is that under current tax law [IRC Sec. 101(a)(1)], death proceeds are generally excludable from the beneficiary’s gross income.

• Tax-deferred growth of your accumulated valueSince the accumulated value of your Universal Life II contract grows tax-deferred, it has the potential to grow faster than a taxable investment product.

• Tax-free loans and partial surrendersIn most cases, loans from your contract are not taxable. With partial surrenders, you generally will not have a taxable event until the accumulated value received exceeds the total amount of premiums paid.1

U N I V E R S A L L I f E I N S U R A N c E I I

1 Loans and surrenders will decrease the death proceeds and the cash surrender value available to pay insurance costs. Surrenders may generate an income tax liability and may be subject to a decrease charge. A significant taxable event can occur if a contract terminates with outstanding debt. Loaned values may accumulate at a lower rate than unloaned values.

2 An administrative fee of up to $150 will be charged for exercising this benefit; the death benefit is discounted as described in the rider. consult with your tax advisor about the potential taxable effect of receiving funds under this Accelerated Death Benefit for Terminal Illness Benefit Rider. Please be aware that if the entire death benefit is acceler-ated, the life insurance contract will terminate on the date the benefit is paid. Partial accelerated benefits are not allowed in Oregon.

3 In New York, Pennsylvania and Texas, benefits are available if the insured has a life expectancy of 12 months or less.

Understanding your life insurance dividendsA valuable benefit of owning life insurance

Thrivent.com

Whether you are considering the purchase of a life insurance contract or reviewing a life insurance illustration, you’ll want to understand what dividends are all about.

The basics of dividendsA dividend is paid to the owners of certain life insurance products. When you receive dividends—which may also be called surplus refunds—you are receiving a share of the divisible surplus of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Not all of the surplus gets distributed. The board of directors determines how much of the surplus is to be distributed and how much of it is to be retained for ongoing business purposes.

While traditional whole life insurance contracts usually credit dividends, most term, universal life, and variable universal life products do not.

Read on to learn how dividends are calculated and how they can benefit you.

Protect the contributions you make to your familyStay-At-Home Spouse Disability Income Insurance

Thrivent.com

Your spouse goes to work and brings home the family paycheck. But your contributions add a real economic value, as well.

While your spouse is at work, you’re likely cleaning, buying groceries, doing laundry and running errands. You may even be paying the bills, booking vacations and helping your kids with their homework. Your spouse helps as much as possible, but it’s your responsibility to keep the household running smoothly.

Although you don’t earn a dime doing it, it’s the best job you’ve ever had.

Your time is worth moneyWhen considering your economic worth, the table below provides an example of what it would cost to hire others to perform some of your daily tasks if you suddenly were unable to do them. Your economic value is even greater when you add all your evening and weekend hours, which aren’t accounted for below. Regional cost-of-living differences may increase your value, too.

What would happen to your family if something happened to you?Thrivent Financial is one of only a

few insurers that offers disability

income insurance to stay-at-home

spouses. You can apply for coverage

with up to a maximum monthly

benefit of $750, a significant

amount when you consider the

economic value of the services you

provide your family.

The “survivor gap”Will you need to replace lost retirement income?

Thrivent.com

When it comes to your retirement, what sources of income can you and your spouse rely on?

What would happen if some of that income were reduced or eliminated because one of you died? Would you or your spouse be able to maintain your lifestyle?

Survivor gap is a common issueAs the scenario below depicts, the death of a spouse during retirement can drastically change the lifestyle of the survivor—especially if a couple relied on both incomes to meet expenses. Not only can income go down dramatically, but expenses can increase upon the first death due to factors such as single tax-filing status, home-health-care needs and home-maintenance needs.

One couple’s retirement income scenarioThis couple selected a pension option that leaves the wife with limited income upon the husband’s death. The scenario also reflects that upon the first death, the lower of the two Social Security payments “goes away.”

If the husband were to die first, his wife would see her monthly income decrease by $1,500. For someone age 65, this could result in a financial loss of $360,000 or more over 20 years (not adjusted for inflation).

Will you have an income gap?Without your income, could your loved ones:

• Afford adequate health care?

• Keep your current house and stay in the community?

• Meet pledges made to churches and other charities?

• Pay all ongoing bills (including insurance, property taxes and income taxes)?

• Pay for transportation and recreation?

Monthly income source Together Husband alone Wife alone

Husband’s pension $2,000 $2,000 $1,000

Husband’s Social Security $1,000 $1,000 $1,000

Wife’s Social Security $500 $0 $0

Total monthly income $3,500 $3,000 $2,000

With so many well-known companies struggling or failing, you may wonder where Thrivent Financial for Lutherans stands. While we’re not immune from recent economic turmoil, we are

weathering the storm better than many other financial services providers.

Today we’re standing strong, even in these challenging times:

• Thrivent Financial continues to maintain a surplus to meet members’ claims that is nearly five times greater than what is required by law.

• While some insurance companies have reduced dividends, Thrivent Financial increased total dividends in 2009 by 5 percent.

• Thrivent Financial is fulfilling its mission to give back, making more than $126 million in direct contributions to communities, nonprofit groups, Lutheran institutions and individuals in need in 2008.

• Thrivent Financial has not applied for and does not expect to receive, any government bailout money.

As a fraternal benefit society, we share a common bond with our members—Lutheranism—and we share your values. We’re membership-owned, meaning we don’t answer to Wall Street. We answer to you.

To learn about financial solutions that fit your situation, contact your financial representative or log on to Thrivent.com.

Why it’s important to offer From Me to We

A study of over 21,000 couples revealed:

• 66% had problems associated with major debt, and that debt was one of the top five financial stumbling blocks in marriage.

• Conversely, one of the unique strengths of the majority of happily married couples was that they did not have

major debt.2
