TIAA Traditional-guarantees
your principal and a specified
interest rate (backed by TIM's claims-payingability), plus offers
ildditionol growth opportunitY through dividends, which are established on a year-by-yearbasis but are not guaranteed for future years.
BecauseTlAA invests in long-term, relatively illiquid investments
in an effort to obtain increasedyields, withdrawalsand transfers
from TIM Traditional must be spread over a ten-yearperiod.
TIM
Real Estate-invests
the majority of its assets in income-
producing commercial properties with the remainder in liquid assets
such as money market instruments and other ~ecurities. Real estate
h;!s specific risks, including fluctuations in property value, higher
expenses or lower income than expected, and environmental
problems ~nd liability. Transfers from the TIM
are limited to once per c~rendar quarter.

of its assets in U.S.stocks. Two.thirdsof the portfolio usesenh~nced

stocks. (Foreign marketsare subject to additional risksfrom
changing currencyvalues. interest rates,government regulations.
and political and economic conditions.)
MODERATE
RISKI
CREF Global Equities-invests between 40%and 75%of its assets
in foreign stockswith the remainder in U.S.securities. This portfolio
combines individual stock selectionwith enhancedindexing.

currencyvalues. interest rates. govemment regulations, and political
and economic conditions.)

potential based on economic and marketconditions. A second
