About LBLAX

Thrivent Short-Term Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while emphasizing stability of principal. The fund primarily invests in investment-grade fixed income, including corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities, with the flexibility to allocate a portion to foreign issuers. Its strategy targets a shorter interest-rate profile, maintaining a dollar-weighted average effective maturity typically between one and five years, which reduces sensitivity to rate fluctuations compared with longer-duration bond funds. Recent portfolio metrics indicate a duration around two years, underscoring its short-term orientation. The fund distributes income on a monthly schedule and is positioned within the short-term bond category, serving investors seeking steady income with moderate credit exposure and lower interest-rate risk than intermediate or long-duration peers. Established in 1999 and managed within the Thrivent fund family, it has amassed a sizable asset base and charges a net annual operating expense ratio characteristic of its share class. Overall, it plays a role as a core short-duration fixed-income holding in diversified portfolios.
