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 shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above.
Beginning August 18, 2009, part or all of the service fee on the Retirement Class of the TIAA-CREF Money Market Fund is being voluntarily waived. Without this waiver, current and effective annualized yields and total returns would have been lower. This 12b-1 waiver may be discontinued at any time without notice.
The TIAA-CREF Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The current yield more closely reflects the fund's current earnings than does the total return.
| ** | The fund's Institutional Class began operations on July 1, 1999. Performance shown prior to the inception of the Retirement Class is based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class. Performance has not been restated to reflect the higher expenses of the Retirement Class. If the expense differential had been reflected, performance for these periods would have been lower. |
