TIAA-CREF QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE |
The University of North Carolina System Optional Retirement Program
As of 06/30/2008
As of 06/30/2008
The performance data quoted represents past performance, and is no guarantee of future results. Your returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your mutual fund shares/variable annuity account accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance current to the most recent month-end, call 800 TIAA-CREF (800 842-2273).
Annuity account options are available through annuity contracts issued by TIAA or CREF. These contracts are designed for retirement or other long-term goals, and offer a variety of income options, including lifetime income. Payments from the variable annuity accounts are not guaranteed and will rise or fall based on investment performance. Mutual funds do not offer the range of income options available through annuities.
There are inherent risks in investing in mutual funds and variable annuity accounts. Please be sure to read carefully the notes that appear at the end of this section for details.

The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. |
| 34 | The returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate. Current performance may be higher or lower than that shown above, and you may have a gain or a loss when you redeem your mutual fund shares/annuity account accumulation units. For current performance information, including performance to the most recent month-end, or call 800 TIAA-CREF (800 842-2273). |
| 78 | An investment in the CREF Money Market Account is not a deposit of any bank and is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. government agency. |
| 30 | The 7-day money market yield listed more closely reflects the current earnings of the money market annuity account than does the total return. |
| 25 | All CREF accounts estimate expenses each year based on projected expense and asset levels. Differences between actual expenses and the estimate are adjusted quarterly and are reflected in current investment results. Historically, adjustments have been small. |
| 26 | The TIAA Traditional Annuity guarantees principal and a specified interest rate (based upon TIAA's claims-paying ability). It also offers the potential for greater growth through additional amounts, which may be declared on a year-by-year basis by the TIAA Board of Trustees. If you have an RA contract, the TIAA annuity contract does not allow lump-sum cash withdrawals from the TIAA Traditional Annuity and transfers must be spread over a ten-year period. If you have a GRA contract, lump-sum withdrawals are available from the TIAA Traditional Annuity only within 120 days after termination of employment and are subject to a surrender charge. All other withdrawals and all transfers to the Real Estate Account or to CREF must be spread over a ten-year period (five years for withdrawals after termination of employment). |
| 32 | Interest credited to TIAA Traditional Annuities includes a guaranteed rate of between 1% and 3%, plus additional amounts that are established on a year-by-year basis. The additional amounts, when declared, remain in effect through the "declaration year," which begins each March 1. |
| 33 | In California, the TIAA Real Estate Account is available, but not through all employer-sponsored plans. Please contact us to determine if your employer's plan can accept investments into the account. |
| 40 | Accumulations in mutual funds not managed by TIAA-CREF may be subject to administrative charges. These charges are subject to change. Please review current documents related to your plan. |
| 101 | All displayed performance and statistical data have been compiled by TIAA-CREF. |
| 105 | Annuities are designed for retirement savings or for other long-term goals. They offer several payment options, including lifetime income. Payments from TIAA and CREF variable annuities are not guaranteed, and the payment amounts will rise or fall depending on investment returns. |
| 301 | The net annual expense reflects a contractual reimbursement of various expenses by the fund’s adviser. This reimbursement may be discontinued at any time. |
| 302 | The net annual expense charge for this fund reflects a voluntary reimbursement of various expenses by the fund’s adviser. This reimbursement may be discontinued at any time. |
