08 ADVISOR’S COMPANION 6TH ANNUAL RESOURCE DIRECTORY A supplement to: AN INVESTMENT CHOICE TO MATCH YOUR CLIENTS’ VALUES. At TIAA-CREF, we’ve been refining our approach to Socially Responsible Investing for nearly 30 years, and it is a distinctive part of our investment offering. We use a rigorous social screening process and then build a broadly diversified portfolio, intended to closely match the returns of the Russell 3000® Index. And because of our nonprofit heritage, we are able to offer the same low fees that you expect from TIAA-CREF.* Your clients can balance their financial goals with social responsibility. It’s what we call the double bottom line. For more information about SRI investing with TIAA-CREF, please contact Advisor Services at 888-842-0318, Option 3, or visit www.tiaa-cref.org/sri. *Morningstar Direct (February 2007) based on Morningstar expense comparisons by category.

Please call 888 842-0318, Option 3, or go to www.tiaa-cref.org for a current prospectus that contains this and other information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
