Asset Management - Statement on Market Volatility and Recent Events in the Financial Services Sector September 16, 2008 Many investors are concerned about recent developments in the financial services industry and the increased volatility in the financial markets that has ensued. Investors are asking how these events will affect their portfolios and about the long-term health and viability of the financial services sector as a whole. This statement provides TIAA-CREF's perspective on these events and explains their effect to date on our funds and accounts. It also highlights the strength and stability of TIAA-CREF and describes how our portfolios are positioned to seek to avoid or mitigate the types of problems that have hurt other financial institutions.
