Donny DBM/iStock via Getty Images Executive Summary The Fund outperformed the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index over the last quarter due primarily to positive allocation effect. Six of the eleven sectors outperformed, led by strong stock selection in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors. This was somewhat offset by negative security selection in the Healthcare and Real Estate sectors. New positions were added during the quarter in several sectors, taking advantage of market volatility. Fund positioning continues to focus on quality growth across sectors. Performance factors Thrivent Mid Cap Growth Fund outperformed the Russell Mid Cap Growth benchmark during the first quarter of 2026 led by the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Strong contributions from positions in Coherent Corp ( COHR ), Monolithic Power ( MPWR ), and Lattice Semiconductor ( LSCC ) led overall positive performance in both the Semiconductor & Semiconductor Equipment, and Technology Hardware sub-sectors, more than offsetting the weakness from Software & Services. Coherent, Monolithic Power, and Lattice had very strong quarterly earnings reports as well as positive forward estimate revisions which helped fuel material stock outperformance. For Lattice, new ultra-low power and mid-range FPGA ((field programmable gate array)) product introductions- namely Nexus and Avant- contributed to the positive results. For Coherent, strong demand for their high-speed optical transceivers in the data center market aided the upside to results and forward outlook. Monolithic Power saw accelerating demand for its Enterprise Data solutions, which are power solutions products for data centers. Consumer Discretionary out-performance was led by Ross Stores ( ROST ), a leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashion. Ross reported well above expected same store sales growth and provided forward guidance above consensus expectations. Consumer Discretionary performance al...

Horrifying "Rape Festival" Sparks Worldwide Outrage Videos circulating on social media out of Nigeria have ignited shock and horror after appearing to show groups of men chasing, stripping and sexually assaulting women in broad daylight during a traditional “fertility" festival in the country’s southern Delta State, according to news.com.au . The incidents unfolded on March 19 during the Alue-Do festival in Ozoro, a triennial rite in the Uruamudhu community of the Ozoro Kingdom. Intended to invoke blessings for married women struggling with conception, the event involves processions to a community shrine. Local customs reportedly advise single women to remain indoors. However, footage depicted young women fleeing through crowded streets, pursued by mobs who tore at their clothing, groped them and subjected them to public humiliation while bystanders filmed and, in some cases, appeared to cheer. The graphic clips, which spread rapidly on platforms including X, Instagram and Facebook, have fueled national outrage, trending hashtags such as #endsexualviolence. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Every Woman is Worthy® (@everywomanisworthy) Delta State police have responded with arrests. Authorities confirmed that at least 15 people, including a community leader and several young men identified in the videos, are in custody, the BBC reports. Police spokesperson Bright Edafe described the scenes as “alarming, disgusting and embarrassing,” adding that suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for prosecution. Investigations continue, though officials noted that no formal complaints of rape have been filed to date. Some women reportedly required hospitalization. One of the alleged victims told police she was attacked within minutes of arriving at the event to the " rape festival ." “Immediately I came down, they started shouting ‘hold her, hold her, that’s a woman’, and they swooped on me like bees,” the alleged victim said, acc...
