Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Thrivent ended 2025 with $212 billion AUM/AUA and $18.2 billion surplus.
  • It returned $555 million to clients in 2025, reinforcing retention and trust.
  • Demand for human advice stays strong as over 100,000 advisors near retirement.

What critics are saying

  • The SEC fight over FINRA arbitration rules turns into a costly, distracting 2026 legal grind.
  • Advisor recruiting depends on training 600 hires; weak conversion slows growth by 2027.
  • If client growth stalls, Thrivent's advisor-expansion strategy becomes an expensive labor-arbitrage bet.

What makes Thrivent unique

  • Thrivent hired 600 advisors in 2025 and targets 600 more in 2026.
  • Its Virtual Advice Team blends remote coverage with traditional field-network selling.
  • Purpose-driven branding and generosity programs differentiate Thrivent from commission-first wealth rivals.

Thrivent plans to hire 600 financial advisors in 2026, bucking AI layoff trend

Thrivent, a Minneapolis-based financial services company ranked 388 on the Fortune 500, plans to hire 600 financial advisors in 2026, matching its 2025 target. The initiative addresses a looming talent shortage as over 100,000 US financial advisors are expected to retire within the next decade. The company recruits through its traditional field network and a Virtual Advice Team, where advisors serve clients remotely. Participants typically spend 12 to 24 months in training before joining established teams or launching their own practices. The programme attracts early-career professionals and second-career candidates from fields like teaching and business. Thrivent, which manages $212 billion in assets and serves 2.4 million clients, is using AI to support rather than replace advisors, focusing on tools that enable high-value client work.
