Included in this category are multi-asset investments that can help you prepare for your retirement, conform to your risk-tolerance level and help you allocate investment assets in a socially responsible way.

If you're interested in socially responsible investing, your investment choices include an annuity account that is diversified among stocks and bonds and could be used as a "single choice" option. If you need help making the choice that's best for you, call 800 TIAA-CREF (800 842-2273) to speak to one of our consultants. However, socially responsible investments may not allow you to take advantage of certain opportunities or market trends if they are excluded because of social criteria.
