Fortune 500 financial services company and ICMIF member Thrivent (USA), has announced it will provide an all-time high USD 590 million total payout of dividends and nonguaranteed policy enhancements to clients with membership in 2026.
The 2026 payout includes:
- USD 441 million in total dividends
- USD 149 million in nonguaranteed policy enhancements, such as additional credited interest and reduced fees.
- 95% of clients who own a life, health or annuity product.
“Thrivent’s total payout is one of the meaningful ways we deliver value to our clients each year,” said David Royal, Chief Financial and Investment Officer of Thrivent. “It reflects our long-term stability, disciplined financial management and unwavering commitment to keeping our clients at the heart of everything we do.”
Thrivent’s long-term strength and stability
Thrivent has steadily increased its total payouts in recent years, reflecting the organisation’s long-term strength and stability, competitive product offerings, disciplined financial management and commitment to delivering value to its 2.4 million clients.
- Thrivent has more than doubled its annual total payout since 2021.
- The 2026 total payout is a 4% increase from 2025.
- While dividends are never guaranteed, Thrivent has paid them every year since 1913 — distributing USD 3.4 billion in the past decade.
Most policyholders will receive dividends on their policy’s 2026 anniversary date, based on the way they elected to receive them. Policy enhancements of additional credited interest and reduced fees go into effect at various times.
Policy enhancements refer to improvements in non-guaranteed policy features such as future credited rates or fees.
