Highlights
- Outcomes-based focus “through glidepath” design
- Risk management through alpha and beta diversification
- Proven track record with competitive fees
Informed by a 100 year commitment to retirement income strategies, the TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Suite, available in both an active and passive series, provide an outcome-oriented approach designed to help build sufficient savings and income through retirement. Our distinctive glidepath design informed by 60 years of asset allocation experience, seeks to balance market risk and longevity risk to prepare participants for a potentially longer retirement.
On September 30, 2022, the Lifecycle suite of funds began to implement a change to the strategic asset allocation. These enhancements include an increase in the equity by 4% at +20 and +15 years to retirement which are sourced from the fixed income allocation.
Learn why we believe that these changes may help improve risk-adjusted returns, better track the nature of evolving human capital and help enhance retirement outcomes.

Class I shares have no sales charge and may be purchased by specified classes of investors.
A contractual arrangement is in place that limits certain fees and/or expenses. Had fees/expenses not been limited (“capped”), currently or in the past, returns would have been lower.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved and the target date is an approximate date when investors may begin withdrawing from the Fund. Target-date mutual funds are actively managed, so the asset allocation is subject to change and may vary from that shown and after the target date has been reached, the Fund may be merged into another with a more stable asset allocation. The Fund is a fund of funds subject to the risks of its underlying funds in proportion to each Fund’s allocation. These risks include those of fixed income underlying funds risks which may be susceptible to general movements in the bond market and are subject to credit and interest rate risks as well as those of equity underlying funds risks, such as foreign investment and issuer risks. Credit risk arises from an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due, as well as the prices of bonds declining when an issuer’s credit quality is expected to deteriorate. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rates rise causing bond prices to fall. The Fund’s income could decline during periods of falling interest rates. Non-U.S. investments involve risks such as currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, lack of liquidity and differing legal and accounting standards. These fixed-income underlying funds risks, such as call, extension, and income volatility risks as well as other risk considerations, such as active management risk, equity underlying funds risks and direct real estate risks, are described in detail in the Fund’s prospectus.
Before investing, carefully consider fund investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. For this and other information that should be read carefully, please request a prospectus or summary prospectus from your financial professional or Nuveen at 866.832.1406.
