A gatekeeper at Thrivent Asset Management has left the firm to join XA Investments, a Chicago-based firm that specializes in interval funds and CEF research and consulting.
Jared Hagen worked at Thrivent for about a year, where he served as a senior investment product specialist. He will be joining XA as a vice president.
At Thrivent, which has about $30bn in AUM, Hagen was on the product management team, which also acted as the in-house manager research team. That team conducted research and due diligence on Thrivent’s sub-advised funds, model portfolios and variable annuity product offerings.
