Investment Objective
The Enrollment Year Investment Option offers Portfolios designed for different Enrollment Years (anticipated enrollment year at an Eligible Educational Institution) in two-year increments. Each Portfolio becomes progressively more conservative by changing its underlying investments as your Beneficiary approaches the targeted enrollment year. Each Portfolio invests in one or more Underlying Funds managed by Nuveen or Vanguard. Portfolios for Beneficiaries with a shorter investment timeline also invest in a funding agreement issued by TIAA-CREF Life.
Risk level
Risk level shifts from aggressive to conservative as the beneficiary approaches enrollment.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and are net of all fees and expenses. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Your returns and the principal value of your account will fluctuate, so your investment may be worth more or less than the original value when you withdraw your money. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Investors cannot invest directly in a benchmark.
All performance figures in the table, with the exception of the performance figures in the year-to-date column, represent the average annual compound rate of the total return. All figures in the year-to-date column represent cumulative, nonannualized returns.
