slide11. Target-Date Funds TIAA Funds
Vintages 2010 – 2060

In addition to the fees and expenses associated with the target-date funds, there is exposure to the fees and expenses associated with the underlying mutual funds.
As with all mutual funds, the principal value of a target-date fund isn’t guaranteed at any time, even at the target date. The target date represents an approximate date when investors may plan to begin withdrawing from the fund. 11<br>
slide12. Asset Classes Offer Choice & Flexibility 12 GUARANTEED* FIXED INCOME MULTI-ASSET EQUITIES REAL ESTATE * Options offered in the guaranteed asset class are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.
Investing involves risk of loss of principal. Diversification is a technique to help reduce risk. It is not guaranteed to protect against loss. Lower Risk Higher Risk For your specific investments, visit TIAA.org/kalamazoo<br>
