Volatility and Recent Events in the Financial Services Sector September
16, 2008
Many investors are concerned about recent developments in the financial
services industry and the increased volatility in the financial markets
that has ensued. Investors are asking how these events will affect their
portfolios and about the long-term health and viability of the financial
services sector as a whole.
This statement provides TIAA-CREF's perspective on these events and explains their effect to date on our funds and accoutns. It also highlights the strength and stability of TIAA-CREF and describes how our portfolios are positioned to seek to avoid or mitigate the types of problems that have hurt other financial institutions.
