Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Thrivent plans to hire 600 advisors in 2026 after exceeding 2025's target.
  • Assets under management reached $212 billion at year-end 2025, up from prior records.
  • The July 21, 2026 D.C. Circuit remand strengthens Thrivent's challenge against SEC inaction.

What critics are saying

  • Thrivent still depends on advisors as 100,000 U.S. advisors retire by 2035.
  • The 2026 FINRA arbitration fight with SEC remains unresolved after the July 21 remand.
  • If recruiting misses 600 hires again, Schwab and Northwestern Mutual steal affluent households.

What makes Thrivent unique

  • Thrivent sells advice, insurance, investments, and generosity in one member-led platform.
  • Its Virtual Advice Team trains advisors 12 to 24 months before deployment.
  • Purpose-based branding resonates with teachers and second-career recruits, not Wall Street clones.

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.
