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.

1.
Clients of TIAA-CREF Trust Company may hold investments other than TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds, but performance information about those other investments is not available on our web site.
2.
The net annual expense ratio represents expenses after reimbursement and waivers, while the gross annual expense ratio represents expenses without any reimbursements and waivers. These expense reimbursement arrangements will continue through at least April 30, 2010 for the Index Funds (excluding the Enhanced Index Funds) and January 31, 2010 for the other Funds, and can only be changed with approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these waivers and reimbursements, the Fund expenses would be higher and their performance would have been lower.
3.
The Bond Index funds' inception date was September 14, 2009. The Since Inception values presented are cumulative values and not average annualized total returns.
4.
The fund's Retirement Class began operations on October 15, 2004. Performance shown prior to the inception of the Institutional Class is based on the performance of the fund's Retirement Class. Performance has not been restated to reflect the lower expenses of the Institutional Class. If the expense differential had been reflected, performance for these periods would have been higher.

The annual expenses include the fees of the underlying funds in which Lifecycle Funds invest. These underlying fund expenses are 0.30% for the Lifecycle 2010 Fund, Lifecycle 2015 Fund and Lifecycle 2025 Fund and 0.31% for the other Lifecycle Funds. Since the Lifecycle Funds implemented new target allocations on Jan. 17, 2007, the underlying fund expense shown is based on the new allocations. Without expense reimbursements for each Lifecycle fund and various reimbursements for certain underlying funds, the Fund expenses would have been higher and their performance would have been lower. Teachers Advisors, Inc. has contractually agreed to waive its 0.10% management fee on each Lifecycle Fund through at least April 30, 2008. As noted previously, the Lifecycle Fund's expenses have been restated to reflect the new investment management agreement as well as the effect of the commencement of operations of the new Institutional class of the Lifecycle Funds on Jan. 17, 2007.
