Our read on TISC
DMost international small-cap ETFs just track an index. TISC goes the other way: Thrivent's own managers pick developed-market small caps outside the US, spread across roughly 600 names in growth, value and core styles.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Active in a corner of the market dominated by index trackers. There is no underlying index to hug; Thrivent's in-house managers choose the non-US developed-market small caps.fp.thriventfunds.comfp.thriventfunds.com
- Active without being a concentrated bet: roughly 600 holdings, spanning growth, value and core styles.fp.thriventfunds.com
- Developed markets only, so it skips the emerging-market slice built into all-world ex-US small-cap funds like VSS.fp.thriventfunds.com
- Run by a Fortune 500 firm that has managed an active small-mid cap ETF since 2022, so this is not its first ETF rodeo.newsroom.thrivent.comfp.thriventfunds.com
Worth knowing
- Costs 0.55% a year, above the category median of 0.47% and many times the 0.06% charged by index staples SCHC and VSS. Stockpicking is the thing you are paying for.
- Launched in June 2026, so there is no multi-year record to judge the managers' international small-cap calls against.newsroom.thrivent.com
- Younger and smaller than the category's index heavyweights, so it changes hands less often, which can widen the gap between bid and ask.
