Insurance companies

¹ For its stability, claims-paying ability and overall financial strength, Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) is a member of one of only three insurance groups in the United States to currently hold the highest rating available to U.S. insurers from all four leading insurance company rating agencies: A.M. Best (A++ as of 7/24), Fitch (AAA as of 8/24), Standard & Poor’s (AA+ as of 5/24), and Moody’s Investors Service (Aa1 as of 5/25). There is no guarantee that current ratings will be maintained. The financial strength ratings represent a company’s ability to meet policyholders’ obligations and do not apply to variable annuities or any other product or service not fully backed by TIAA’s claims-paying ability. The ratings also do not apply to the safety or the performance of the variable accounts, which will fluctuate in value.
