About TIAA-CREF
Serving The Greater Good
For over 90 years, TIAA-CREF has been helping those in the academic, medical, cultural and research fields plan for and live in retirement. We do this with a full array of financial products and services to help them live to and through retirement and invest for life's other goals along the way. In keeping with our strong nonprofit heritage, we offer low fees,1 a long-term approach to investing, and a full line of financial products and services provided by consultants who never receive commissions.2 Instead, they are compensated primarily on how well they serve you, not what they sell you.
