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. You
should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges
and expenses carefully before investing. 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.
