Call 800 842-2252 or visit www.tiaa-cref.org/udallas How your future contributions will transfer to the new options During the week of August 17, 2015, you will receive a Welcome Kit with information about the new contracts. These contracts will receive all contributions made on or after October 1, 2015. Your current contracts will be closed to new contributions. After you receive your Welcome Kit, you may update your allocation of future contributions to any one or combination of the options on the new investment menu. We also encourage you to take a moment to review and update your beneficiary information. If you take no action, any future contributions will be automatically redirected to the replacement funds as listed on the following page. Your existing balances will transfer as detailed on page 5. Check your most recent quarterly account statement to determine how your investments will be affected. Your new contracts will include the same beneficiary information on file for your current contracts. The chart below shows how your beneficiary information will be transferred. Please take note of the new contract abbreviations below when updating your account online. Please note if you have automatic allocation rebalancing occurring annually, you will need to reestablish the automatic rebalancing on your new contracts. It will not automatically carry over. Current contract’s beneficiaries New contract’s beneficiaries University of Dallas Defined Contribution Retirement Plan TIAA-CREF Retirement Annuity (RA) TIAA-CREF Retirement Choice Annuity (RC) University of Dallas Supplemental Retirement Plan TIAA -CREF Retirement Annuity (RA), TIAA-CREF Supplemental Retirement Annuity (SRA) and TIAA-CREF Group Supplemental Retirement Annuity (GSRA) TIAA-CREF Retirement Choice Plus Annuity (RCP) Most of the major differences between the old and new contracts relate to the TIAA Traditional Annuity. If you’re thinking about transferring money out of an old contract, please note the following points: • The TIAA Traditional Annuity in the Retirement Choice and Retirement Choice Plus contracts has a guaranteed minimum interest rate* of between 1 and 3 percent, which may be lower than your current guaranteed rate. On the other hand, TIAA Traditional may have a higher crediting rate than the plan’s previous contracts. • When TIAA Traditional assets are transferred out of an old contract, you risk giving up a favorable crediting rate(s) on older contributions.
