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. For investments with exceptional performance, please note that performance fluctuates and currently may be lower than noted here.

1.
The net annual expense ratio represents expenses after reimbursement and waivers, while the gross annual expense ratio represents expenses without any reimbursements and waivers. Certain funds have expense reimbursement arrangements that will continue through at least January 31, 2011 and August 31, 2011 for the Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund, and can only be changed with approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these waivers and reimbursements, Fund expenses would be higher and their performance would have been lower.
2.
Performance figures include the reinvestment of all dividends and any capital gains distribution. Rates of return reflect past performance and are no guarantee of comparable future results. The value of investments in the funds can rise or fall. Individual shares may be worth more or less than their original price when redeemed.
3.
To see the inception date for each fund, click on that fund and review the profile information. The inception date for the Bond Index fund is September 14, 2009. The Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund’s inception dates are August 31, 2010. The Since Inception values presented for this fund are cumulative values and not an average annualized total return.
4.
The fund's Institutional Class began operations on July 1, 1999. Performance shown prior to the inception of the Retail Class is based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class. Performance has not been restated to reflect the higher expenses of the Retail Class. If the expense differential had been reflected, performance for these periods would have been lower.
5.
Beginning August 18, 2009, part or all of the 12b-1 distribution expenses of the Retail Class of the TIAA-CREF Money Market Fund are not being reimbursed to the Fund's distributor. Without this change, current and effective annualized yields and total returns would have been lower. This voluntary decision of the distributor not to be reimbursed 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.
