Investments in the TIAA-CREF Money Market Fund are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The current yield more closely reflects current earnings than does the total return. We will attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share for this fund, but it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

 


 

The returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. Returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate. Current performance may be higher or lower than that shown above, and you may have a gain or a loss when you redeem your shares.

Report to investors

During the first half of 2006, investors drove stock prices higher and then engaged in a sell-off that erased a sizable portion of the year’s gains. The Russell 3000® Index, which measures the broad U.S. stock market, was up 5.3% in the first quarter but dropped 2% in the second, ending the six-month period with a return of 3.2%.

          Investors changed course largely out of fear that higher interest rates and increased energy prices would derail economic growth and reduce corporate profits.

The Federal Reserve reacts to rising prices

The year began with the U.S. economy in high gear. The nation’s Gross Domestic Product jumped by 5.6% in the first quarter of 2006, but this surging growth—along with the rising cost of energy—raised the threat of higher inflation. At the end of March, the Consumer Price Index was up 3.4% from its level of a year earlier.


During the six-month period, returns varied widely among asset classes.


          In response to robust growth and rising inflation, the Federal Reserve continued the credit-tightening policy it began in June 2004. It raised short-term interest rates four times during the first half of 2006, and these hikes helped push longer-term rates higher, too.

          The yield on 10-year Treasury notes, which serves as the benchmark for the bond market, went from 4.39% at the end of December 2005 to 5.14% at the end of June 2006.

Bonds fade, foreign stocks shine

Rising yields on newly issued bonds reduced the market value of the bonds already held in many investment portfolios. Income from interest on bond holdings offset some of that decline, but the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures the investment-grade bond market, posted a 0.7% loss for the six-month period.

          High-yield bonds, whose returns are normally more resistant to rising interest rates, gained 1.6%.

          Foreign stocks remained one of the brighter parts of the investment landscape. During the period, a stronger euro and pound boosted the MSCI EAFE® Index to a 10.2% return in terms of U.S. dollars. The EAFE index tracks 21 stock markets in developed nations outside North America.

Edward J. Grzybowski
Chief Investment Officer
Teachers Advisors, Inc.

          Over the five years ended June 30, 2006, the foreign stocks of the EAFE index have produced a cumulative return of 61.5%, versus the 18.9% return of U.S. stocks, as measured by the Russell 3000.

Funds post mixed results

During the six-month period, returns varied widely among asset classes, and, accordingly, among the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds as well.

          Returns for the equity funds ranged from –2.9% for the Growth Equity Fund to 10.7% for the International Equity Fund, which invests in foreign stocks.

          The decline in U.S. bond prices continued to hamper the fixed-income market. Returns varied from –0.7% for the Bond Plus Fund to 1.8% for the High-Yield Bond Fund.

          The Federal Reserve’s ongoing program of rate hikes lifted money market rates throughout the six-month period, and the Money Market Fund posted a return of 2.2%.

Our strategy is to stay fully invested

Throughout the period, each of our funds remained fully invested in order to participate in any gains achieved by its market segment. At the same time, we continued to pay close attention to costs, delivering highly disciplined investment management along with some of the lowest expense ratios in the mutual fund industry.

          We keep each of our funds faithful to its objectives in order to keep your allocation strategies on track.

Special terms

Agency securities are bonds issued by U.S. government entities such as Fannie Mae.

Asset-backed securities are bonds backed by loans or by the outstanding amounts owed to a bank, credit card company or other lender.

Benchmarks (benchmark indexes) are groups of securities, such as the Russell 3000® Index or S&P 500® Index, whose performance can be used as a standard by which to judge the performance of a fund.*

Commercial paper refers to short-term debt obligations issued to investors by banks, corporations and other borrowers. Maturities range from 1 to 270 days.

Expense ratio is the amount that investors pay for the management of a mutual fund. The amount is expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. Expense ratios do not include front-end or back-end sales charges, if any, or trading costs. See “Total return.”

Inception date is the first date on which investors can invest in a fund. The fund begins to record investment performance on that date.

Market capitalization is the total value of a company’s outstanding stock. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of a company’s outstanding shares by the current market price per share.

Maturity date is the date on which the principal amount of a note, bond or other debt instrument becomes due or payable.

Mortgage-backed securities are bonds that represent an interest in a pool of mortgages usually issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or other federal entities.

Overweight holding is a security held by a fund. In terms of market capitalization, its percentage of the fund is larger than that same security’s percentage of the benchmark. See also “Underweight holding.”

Peer groups are groupings of mutual funds with a similar objective whose performance can be compared with the performance of a single mutual fund.

Relative performance is the return of a mutual fund in relation to the return of its benchmark index.

Securities is a general name for stocks (also known as “equities”), bonds (also known as “fixed-income securities”) or other investments.

Total return is the amount an investment provides to investors after expenses are deducted. Total return is expressed as a percentage. It includes any interest or dividends, as well as any change in the market value of the investment.

Underweight holding is a security held by a fund. In terms of market capitalization, its percentage of the fund is smaller than that same security’s percentage of the benchmark. See also “Overweight holding.”

Understanding investment risk

All investing involves an element of risk. For example, investors in U.S. Treasury bonds, which are generally considered among the safest of investments, face the risk that inflation will erode their principal and interest over time.

          Some kinds of risk apply to all investments; other risks only apply to certain types of securities. For example, the price of any publicly traded security, such as a stock or bond, may decline in response to general market or economic conditions. This is referred to as “market risk.” An example of a risk that applies only to bonds is “credit risk”—the possibility that a company may be unable to repay the principal of its bonds or pay interest on them.

          In general, funds that invest in stocks are subject to market risk and company risk. Bond funds are subject to market risk, company risk, interest-rate risk and credit risk. A fund that operates in a limited area of either the stock or bond markets is subject to additional, special risks. For a full explanation of the funds’ risks, please see the prospectus.

          The glossary below describes the general risks outlined above, as well as the special risks described in the discussions of each fund.

Call risk is the risk that during periods of declining interest rates, an issuer of a bond may “call” (i.e., redeem) a high-yielding obligation before its maturity date. This often creates an unanticipated capital gain liability for shareholders and requires the fund to reinvest the proceeds at the lower prevailing interest rate.

Company risk is the risk that the earnings prospects and overall financial position of the issuer of a security will deteriorate, causing a decline in the security’s value over short or extended periods of time.

Credit risk (a type of company risk) is the risk that a decline in a company’s overall financial soundness may make it unable to pay principal and interest on bonds when due.

Dividend risk is the risk associated with investments in stocks paying relatively high dividends. These stocks may significantly underperform other stocks during periods of rapid market appreciation.

Extension risk is the risk that the value of certain fixed-income securities will decline because principal payments have not been made as early as possible.

Foreign investment risks are the risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, in securities or contracts traded on foreign exchanges or in foreign markets, or in securities or contracts payable in foreign currency. Foreign investing involves special risks, including erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These investment risks may be magnified in emerging markets.

Growth investing risks include the risk that, due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks will be more volatile than value stocks. In addition, the value of growth stocks is generally a function of their expected earnings growth. If that growth fails to occur or to be sustained, share prices can be adversely affected.

Illiquid security risk is the risk that investments in illiquid securities may be difficult to sell for their fair market value.

8   |  2006 Semiannual Report  TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds


Income volatility risk is the risk that the level of current income from a portfolio of fixed-income securities may decline in certain interest-rate environments.

Index risk is the risk that a fund’s performance will not match the performance of its benchmark index for any particular period of time. Although certain funds attempt to closely track the investment performance of their indexes, they may not duplicate the composition of these indexes. In addition, a fund’s performance, unlike that of its index, is affected by investment and other operating expenses.

Interest-rate risk (a type of market risk) is the risk that bond prices or a fund’s income may decline if interest rates change.

Large-cap risk is the risk that, by focusing on investments in securities of larger companies, a fund may have fewer opportunities to identify securities that the market misprices. In addition, larger companies may grow more slowly than the economy as a whole or not at all.

Market risk is the risk that the price of securities may decline in response to general market and economic conditions or events.

Prepayment risk is the risk that certain fixed-income securities that allow for the prepayment of principal will decline in value, and that a fund’s income will decline as a result.

Real estate investing risks are the risks associated with real estate ownership, including fluctuations in property values, higher expenses or lower income than expected, and potential environmental problems and liability.

Real estate securities risk is the risk that a fund that concentrates its investments in real estate securities and holds securities of relatively few issuers may experience greater fluctuations in value and be subject to a greater risk of loss than other mutual funds.

Reorganization risk is the risk that the stock of a company will lose value because the company is involved in a reorganization or some other special situation.

Risk of socially screened investing is the possibility that, because its social screens exclude some investments, a fund will not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as funds that do not use such criteria.

Small-cap risk is the risk that the securities of smaller companies may experience steeper fluctuations in price than those of larger companies. These securities may also have to be sold at a discount from their current market prices or in small lots over an extended period.

Style risk is the risk that a fund’s style—whether growth-investing or value-investing—will pass out of favor in the marketplace for various periods of time.

Tax risk is the risk that the yields and market values of municipal securities may be hurt more by changes in tax rates and policies than similar taxable income-bearing securities. Also, tax-exempt income from certain securities held by the fund may be a factor in determining whether an individual is subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), and such income may affect taxes paid under the AMT. A tax advisor should be consulted.

Value investing risks are the risks that (1) the issuer’s potential business prospects may not be realized; (2) the securities’ potential values may never be recognized by the market; and (3) due to unanticipated problems associated with the issuer or industry, the securities were appropriately priced (or overpriced) when acquired.

Important information about expenses

DISCLOSURE

Shareholders in the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds incur only one of two potential types of costs.

 

 

Shareholders incur no transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends or on other distributions. There are also no redemption fees or exchange fees.

 

 

However, they do incur ongoing costs, including management fees.

The examples that appear on the performance pages are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each fund. The examples are also designed to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

          The examples assume $1,000 was invested on January 1, 2006, and held for six months until June 30, 2006.

Actual expenses

The first line in each table uses the fund’s actual expenses and its actual rate of return. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six-month period.

          Simply divide your fund value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 fund value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses paid” to estimate the expenses you paid during the six-month period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the table shows hypothetical fund values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio for the six-month period and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses—which is not the fund’s actual return.

          Do not use the hypothetical fund values and hypothetical expenses to estimate the actual expenses you paid for the period. Instead, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in an individual fund with the ongoing costs of other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

International Equity Fund  |  Foreign stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The International Equity Fund returned 10.65% for the period, topping both the 10.16% return of the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index, and the 8.89% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category.

Weak dollar boosts foreign stock gains

Gains for foreign stocks were concentrated in the first quarter of 2006, when the fund’s benchmark jumped 9.40%. Momentum reversed sharply in May, and the benchmark struggled to eke out a positive second quarter. A weaker dollar helped: during the quarter the EAFE lost 4.25% in terms of local currencies but gained 0.70% in dollar terms.

          For the six-month period, the dollar’s weakness converted the EAFE’s 3.59% return in local currencies to 10.16% in dollars. This double-digit gain was more than triple the 3.23% return of the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index.

European stocks drive the benchmark

During the period, the benchmark’s European segment rose 13.58%, fueled by strong performance in France (up 16.06%), the United Kingdom (up 13.61%) and Germany (up 13.41%). Stocks in these three countries constituted more than 40% of the benchmark’s market capitalization.

The Pacific segment was up a modest 3.53%, constrained by the relatively tame 1.91% return of the benchmark’s Japanese stocks, which are its largest component.

Successful stock selections lift returns

Positions in many well-performing stocks enabled the fund to outpace its benchmark. Among the largest contributors were overweights in Finnish energy company Fortum, Italian car maker Fiat and British brokerage company Man Group. A position in Swiss private bank Julius Baer, which was not in the benchmark, also aided returns.

          The positive effects of these holdings were partly offset by positions in a number of underperforming stocks not listed in the benchmark. These included two Japanese companies, magnet maker Neomax and credit company Orient Corporation, as well as Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical. Teva was held as an American Depositary Receipt (a receipt for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange). Overweights in Switzerland’s Zurich Financial Services and Germany’s Deutsche Post also detracted from returns.

          As of June 30, 2006, stocks of companies in emerging markets, which are not included in the benchmark, made up approximately 2% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

Growth Equity Fund  |  Large-cap growth stocks

 


DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Growth Equity Fund returned –2.91% for the period, trailing the –0.93% return of the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, and the –1.32% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Growth category.

Growth sharply lags value

A global stock rally helped lift large-cap growth stocks 3.09% in the first quarter. However, they declined 3.90% in the second quarter, when a spike in the U.S. inflation rate rattled investors and caused a sell-off that hit technology stocks hardest. For the six-month period, large-cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, trailed the 6.56% gain of the Russell 1000 Value Index and the 3.23% rise of the broad-market Russell 3000® Index.

          For the ten years ended June 30, 2006, the gap between the average annual returns of large-cap growth and large-cap value stocks widened to almost five and one-half percentage points.

Largest sectors stifle returns

The decline in large-cap growth stocks for the six-month period was driven by losses in the benchmark’s two largest sectors, technology and health care. Comprising more than 40% of the Russell 1000 Growth Index, these sectors fell 6.7% and 5.7%, respectively, and lagged all the other sectors of the benchmark. In contrast, the two largest sectors of the Russell 1000 Value Index, financials and utilities, advanced 4.4% and 9.4%, respectively.

Declining stocks lead to losses

Overweight positions in several stocks that did not perform as anticipated explain much of the fund’s underperformance. These stocks included St. Jude Medical, the largest detractor, as well as eBay and software maker Adobe Systems. A position in Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical, a stock not included in the benchmark, also hurt performance. Teva was held as an American Depositary Receipt (a receipt for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange).

          These declines were partly offset by the positive effects of underweights such as chip maker Intel and UnitedHealth Group, an HMO. A position in oil field services provider Schlumberger Limited, a stock not held in the benchmark, and an overweight in computer company Network Appliance also added value.

          On June 30, 2006, foreign securities made up 5% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts.

Growth & Income Fund   |  Large-cap, dividend-paying stocks

 


DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Growth & Income Fund returned 2.66% for the period, closely tracking the 2.71% return of the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, and topping the 2.40% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

S&P trails the broad market

A global stock rally helped lift the large-cap stocks of the S&P 500 4.21% in the first quarter. However, the index slipped 1.44% in the second quarter, when a spike in the U.S. inflation rate startled investors. For the six-month period, the S&P 500 trailed the 3.23% return of the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, which benefited from continuing strength in small- and mid-cap issues.

Two large sectors post losses

Although eight of the S&P 500’s ten industry sectors recorded positive returns, two of the largest, information technology and health care—together comprising more than one-quarter of the index—fell 5.9% and 3.8%, respectively.

          The energy sector, which made up about one-tenth of the index, rose 13.7%. The considerably smaller telecommunications services sector was the only other sector with a double-digit gain, rising 13.8%.

Stock selections produce mixed results

The fund’s return slightly trailed the benchmark’s because of numerous stock selections that did not perform as anticipated. These included three stocks in the health care sector that were overweight relative to the benchmark: insurer Cigna, medical products maker Boston Scientific and Coventry Health Care.

          The negative effects of these holdings were partly offset by stock selections that added value, relative to the benchmark. The top contributor to relative performance was French industrial giant Alstom, a stock not included in the index. Successful overweights included Occidental Petroleum, computer graphics company Nvidia and Marathon Oil. Underweights such as UnitedHealth Group and chip maker Intel also helped returns.

          On June 30, 2006, foreign securities made up 7.74% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts (receipts for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange).

Equity Index Fund  |  U.S. stocks

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Equity Index Fund returned 3.13% for the period, trailing the 3.23% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, but topping the 2.40% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

Second-quarter slide erodes gains

In response to a strong global economy and healthy corporate earnings growth, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, climbed 5.31% in the first quarter of 2006. Stocks reversed course in the second quarter, however, in reaction to rising interest rates and the threat of inflation. The Russell 3000 fell 1.98%, giving back more than a third of its first-quarter gain. For the six months, the Russell 3000 failed to keep pace with the 10.16% advance of foreign stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index.

Technology and health care dampen returns

Nine of the benchmark’s twelve sectors showed positive returns for the six months, and five sectors—utilities, autos and transportation, materials and processing, integrated oils, and “other energy”—produced double-digit gains. However, the benchmark’s overall return was trimmed by losses in technology and health care. These two sectors, which represented more than a quarter of the Russell 3000’s market capitalization on June 30, 2006, fell 4% and 3.3%, respectively. Financials, the largest sector in the benchmark, rose 4.4%, while the second-largest, consumer discretionary, returned just 1%.

Two of the largest stocks post losses

Returns for the benchmark’s five largest companies varied widely, reflecting the divergent performance of their industry sectors. In descending order according to cap size, these stocks performed as follows: ExxonMobil, 10.4%; General Electric, –4.5%; Citigroup, 1.5%; Bank of America, 6.5%; and Microsoft, –10.3%.

          Returns for the Russell 3000 were boosted by the 8.21% return of small-cap stocks and the 4.84% return of mid caps. Together, small- and mid-cap stocks made up about one-third of the index on June 30, 2006. Large-cap stocks gained just 2.76%.

          For the period, the fund’s return was comparable to that of the benchmark, minus the effects of expenses and of some cash holdings for liquidity. The fund also had a risk profile similar to that of the benchmark.

Social Choice Equity Fund  |  Socially screened stocks

  DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Social Choice Equity Fund returned 2.59% for the period, trailing the 3.23% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. However, the fund surpassed the 2.40% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category. Unlike the fund, the benchmark and the Morningstar category do not screen investments according to social criteria.

Social screens hinder performance

The fund’s social screens prevented it from investing in several stocks that are large components of the Russell 3000 in terms of market capitalization. During the period, the net effect of these exclusions was to reduce the fund’s return in relation to the return of its benchmark.

Exclusion of oil stocks trims gains

The largest drag on relative performance during the period was the exclusion of ExxonMobil, which gained 10.4%. The fund’s performance was also reduced by the omission of other well-performing stocks that included Caterpillar, Chevron, Occidental Petroleum and agricultural giant Archer Daniels Midland.

          However, avoiding General Electric helped returns because the stock fell 4.5%. The omission of Yahoo!, Dow Chemical, insurer American International Group and drug maker Genentech also had positive effects on performance.

          Coca-Cola and JPMorgan Chase were dropped from the portfolio during the second quarter because they failed the qualitative social screens used to evaluate stocks. Bank of America was added to the list of major holdings.

Statistical techniques help manage risk

The fund’s managers use statistical techniques to ensure that the portfolio’s risk characteristics resemble those of the index. One method is to overweight or underweight certain stocks relative to each one’s percentage of capitalization within the benchmark.

          During the period, relative performance suffered from overweight holdings in chip maker Intel; Medtronic, a medical products manufacturer; and UnitedHealth Group, an HMO. Other overweights, however, including Merck, steel producer Nucor and OGE Energy, a gas and electric company, boosted returns.

Managed Allocation Fund  |  Stocks and bonds

  DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Managed Allocation Fund returned 2.25% for the period, trailing the 2.56% return of its benchmark, the Managed Allocation Composite Index, but topping the 2.23% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Moderate Allocation category.

Stocks rise, bonds are mixed

The U.S. stock market ended the period up 3.23%, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index. The index rose 5.31% in the first quarter, but fell 1.98% in the second, when investors became more concerned about increases in both oil prices and interest rates.

          International stocks outpaced domestic issues. The MSCI EAFE® Index, which tracks stocks in 21 developed nations outside North America, rose 10.16% in dollar terms, but just 3.59% in terms of local currencies.

          As rising short-term interest rates trimmed bond prices, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, a measure of the overall investment-grade bond market, lost 0.72%. However, short-term bonds remained in positive territory, gaining 0.65%, while lower-rated high-yield bonds returned 1.60%.

Equity components reduce relative returns

During the six-month period, three of the fund’s five equity components lagged their respective benchmarks, mainly because of unsuccessful stock choices. The Growth Equity Fund, which made up about one-fifth of the fund’s portfolio on June 30, 2006, trailed its benchmark by nearly two percentage points. The below-benchmark performance of another large component, the Large-Cap Value Fund, also lowered relative returns significantly.

          These negative effects were partly offset by other components that performed well. Both the International Equity and Small-Cap Equity funds outperformed their respective benchmarks. Other positive contributions to relative performance came from the fund’s fixed-income components, which either matched or exceeded their benchmarks.

Asset allocation varies slightly from target

During the period, the Managed Allocation Fund maintained a target allocation ratio of 60% equity and real estate securities to 40% fixed-income investments. On June 30, 2006, the fund’s asset allocation, shown on page 34, differed slightly from this target ratio, as it did at other times throughout the period, because of fluctuations in the market values of the securities in which the component funds invest.

          The weightings of the fund’s composite benchmark remained fixed during the six-month period.

TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds  2006 Semiannual Report  |   31


Managed Allocation Fund  |  Stocks and bonds

Investment objective

The fund seeks a return that reflects the broad investment performance of the financial markets through capital appreciation and investment income.

Special investment risks

In addition to the risks of any fund that invests in equities and fixed-income securities, the fund is subject to special risks, including large-cap risk, small-cap risk, growth investing risks, value investing risks, style risk, reorganization risk, foreign investment risks, real estate securities risk, real estate investing risks, prepayment risk, extension risk and illiquid security risk. For a further discussion of risk, please see page 8.

The fund’s benchmark

The Managed Allocation Composite Index is a weighted average of the Russell 3000® Index for domestic stocks (48%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index for domestic bonds (40%) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE® Index for foreign stocks (12%). You cannot invest directly in these indexes.

About the fund’s expenses

The Managed Allocation Fund itself has no expense charges because the fund’s adviser does not receive a management fee for its services to the fund. Shareholders in the fund indirectly bear their pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the funds in which the Managed Allocation Fund invests. Based on the fund’s allocations on June 30, 2006, the current pro rata expense ratio is 0.49%.

“Expenses paid” is based on the fund’s pro rata expense ratio (which the fund bears indirectly through the funds in which it invests) for the most recent fiscal half year. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio from January 1 through January 31 was 0.39%. From February 1 through June 30 it was 0.49%. The annualized six-month pro rata expense ratio was 0.47%.

 

Effective February 1, 2006, the underlying funds from TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds in which the Managed Allocation Fund invests implemented a new investment management agreement and other arrangements. Under the new arrangements, the annualized six-month expense ratio for the Managed Allocation Fund after reimbursements and waivers is 0.49%. If the new expense ratio had been in effect during the most recent fiscal half-year, fund expenses would have been $2.46 and the ending fund value would have been $1,020.04.

 

Ending fund value for the hypothetical example would be $1,025.00 before expenses. The table shows the value after the subtraction of expenses in order to be comparable with the ending fund value shown for the fund’s actual return.

High-Yield Bond Fund  |  High-yield bonds

 


DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The High-Yield Bond Fund returned 1.78% for the period, topping the 1.60% gain of its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch BB/B Cash Pay Issuer Constrained Index. The average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar High-Yield Bond category, was 2.46%.

High-yield tops other fixed-income securities

Generally, when interest rates rise, bonds lose value. However, changes in interest rates have less effect on high-yield bonds than on bonds of other classes. The strong headwind of rising interest rates in the first half of 2006 pushed many fixed-income assets into negative territory. The high-yield market, on the other hand, posted positive returns. For the period, the benchmark outpaced the –0.72% return of the U.S. investment-grade bond market.

          Strong corporate balance sheets helped the high-yield market. Default rates remained at historically low levels, beginning the year at 2.35% and still holding steady at 2.36% at the end of June.

Lower-quality bonds outperform

During the period, returns were weakest among higher-quality bonds, whose prices, compared with those of other bonds in the benchmark, are the most sensitive to changes in interest rates: BB-rated bonds returned just 0.32%, while B-rated securities gained 2.85%. The lowest-quality bonds, those rated C-CCC+, are primarily affected by factors that can lead to defaults, such as corporate profitability and availability of financing. With the economy on solid ground, C-rated bonds made a strong showing, rising 7.25%.

Credit selection drives results

The fund’s outperformance arose from two factors: overweights in the retail, publishing and technology sectors, which topped the benchmark, and security selections within each of these sectors. In the retail sector, returns were boosted by holdings in GameStop, the leading specialty retailer for electronic gaming, and Stripes, a regional convenience store chain. In publishing, leading performers included Primedia, a magazine publisher, and Cenveo, a commercial printer invigorated by a new management team. In technology, the fund benefited from holdings such as software company SunGard Data Systems.

          Holdings that hurt returns included those of higher-quality companies, such as Station Casinos and Mohegan Gaming in the gaming sector, and Rogers Cable and Videotron in the cable television sector. The fund’s underweight in the airline sector, which rallied during the period, also detracted from performance.

Investment objective

The fund seeks high current income and, when consistent with its primary objective, capital appreciation.

Special investment risks

In addition to the risks of any fixed-income investment, the fund is subject to special risks, including illiquid security risk and foreign investment risks. For a further discussion of risk, please see page 8.

The fund’s benchmark

The Merrill Lynch BB/B Cash Pay Issuer Constrained Index measures the performance of securities that pay interest in cash and have a credit rating of BB or B. Merrill Lynch uses a composite of Fitch Ratings, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s credit ratings in selecting bonds for this index. These ratings measure the risk that the bond issuer will fail to pay interest or to repay principal in full. The index is weighted by market capitalization, so that larger bond issues have a greater effect on the index’s return. However, the representation of any single bond issuer is restricted to a maximum of 2% of the total index. You cannot invest directly in this index.

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.77% for the period, topping the 0.65% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government/Credit (1-5 Year) Index, but trailing the 0.83% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category.

The Fed continues to raise rates

Inflation pressures from high energy prices and a strong U.S. economy prompted the Federal Reserve to raise the federal funds rate by one-quarter of a percentage point on January 28, when Alan Greenspan was still Fed chairman, and again on March 28, with Ben Bernanke at the helm. These two increases pushed the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks charge one another for overnight loans, to 4.75%.

          The next quarter-point hike, on May 10, led to a worldwide sell-off of stocks. On June 30 came the seventeenth consecutive quarter-point increase, which lifted the short-term rate to 5.25%, its highest level since March 2001.

          For the period, bond holders met with disappointing returns. Bond prices, which move in the opposite direction of yields, fell. This decline was only partly offset by rising interest rates, which enabled the benchmark to post a small gain. In contrast, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, a proxy for the broader investment-grade bond market, lost 0.72%.

Longer maturities provide no extra payoff

In comparison with shorter-dated bonds, longer-dated ones usually produce higher yields, which compensate for the risk that inflation will erode the value of these bonds’ interest payments over time. However, when 2006 began, 2-year Treasuries yielded 4.40%, compared with just 4.35% for 5-year Treasuries. During the six-month period, both yields rose, and each one took the lead in turn. The 2-year note was higher in early June and finished with a 5.15% to 5.10% advantage over the 5-year note.

Muted returns still outpace the benchmark

During the period, the fund topped the benchmark as a result of astute security selections in corporate bonds, particularly in the auto sector. Out-of-benchmark holdings in asset-backed securities, which performed well, also helped returns, as did an underweight position, relative to the benchmark, in U.S. Treasuries, whose prices dropped sharply during the period.

          Overall, the fund’s managers kept its duration shorter than the benchmark’s, helping the fund’s portfolio to maintain more of its value as prices fell.

Tax-Exempt Bond Fund  |   Tax-exempt bonds

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund returned –0.37% for the period, trailing both the –0.06% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index, and the 0.18% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Municipal National Long category.

Yield spreads continue to narrow

The spread between the yields on short- and long-term municipal bonds tightened during the first six months of 2006. Rising interest rates sent yields higher on short-term issues, while longer-term yields failed to rise in tandem. By June 30, 2006, the spread between 2- and 30-year municipal bonds had narrowed to 0.90 of a percentage point, down from 1.70 percentage points a year earlier.

          During the period, states and municipalities issued $179 billion in bonds. This figure was almost 15% lower than the volume of the bonds issued during the first half of 2005 and was the smallest amount for any comparable period in the last four years. Refunding activity, which had helped to fuel the record volume of new issues in 2005, was down significantly, due to the higher cost of borrowing. In addition, increased revenue from state income and sales taxes reduced the need for new bond issues.

Tobacco rulings lift the market

The legal tide continued to turn in favor of the tobacco companies, with several court rulings further limiting punitive damages against the industry. Consequently, tobacco bonds, which use the judgments paid by tobacco companies as collateral to secure the bonds, outperformed the overall tax-exempt market.

          Despite record-high oil prices, the airline sector outperformed the Lehman index, returning 14.65% during the period. Health care bonds also outpaced the broader market, but by a substantially smaller margin. Returns from short-term bonds topped those from bonds with longer maturities.

Fund fails to capture sector gains

The fund trailed its benchmark mainly because its managers avoided several of the historically volatile high-yield sectors. During the period, the fund underweighted its investments in tobacco and health care bonds and altogether avoided the airline sector because of concerns about credit quality in the face of rising oil prices.

          Returns also suffered because the fund is benchmarked to the 10-year sector, which was the poorest-performing one in the first half of 2006.

Bond Plus Fund  |  Intermediate-term bonds

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Bond Plus Fund returned –0.72% for the period, in line with the –0.72% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.

The average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category, was –0.73%.

Short-term rates keep rising

On January 31, the Federal Reserve met for the final time under Alan Greenspan and continued its slow-but-steady tightening of credit, raising the federal funds rate (the rate that banks charge one another for overnight loans) by a quarter point, to 4.50%. Many observers expected the economy to weaken, making further increases unnecessary.

          Instead, the economy got stronger. On March 28, with Ben Bernanke at the helm, the Fed mandated another quarter-point boost. At both its January and March meetings, the central bank expressed concerns about the effects of high energy prices and the surging economy.

          On May 10, the Fed raised rates yet again, and investors feared that this campaign to subdue inflation would end up tipping the economy into recession. Stock prices tumbled worldwide.

Short-term and long-term yields zigzag

Purchasers of longer-dated bonds usually receive higher yields, which compensate them for the risk that inflation will erode the value of their interest payments. However, when 2006 began, 10-year Treasuries yielded 4.39%—less than the 4.40% for 2-year Treasuries. During the six-month period, both yields advanced, and each took the lead in turn. The 2-year note was ahead in early June and finished with a 5.15% to 5.14% advantage over the 10-year note.

          Bond prices, which move inversely to yields, fell during the period, and this drop was only partly offset by rising interest income. Nearly all of the benchmark’s decline came from two sectors: Treasuries, which made up about one-quarter of the index, and corporate bonds, which constituted roughly one-fifth.

The fund declines with the benchmark

For the period, performance relative to the benchmark was reduced by underweighting the mortgage-backed security sector. However, relative performance was helped by individual holdings in mortgage-backed securities and automobile bonds.

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Money Market Fund returned 2.24% for the period, topping the 2.05% return of the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report Averages™—All Taxable, a simple average of over 1,000 taxable money market funds.

Fed keeps boosting rates

The year started with the federal funds rate at 4.25%, after a series of quarter-point hikes that began in June 2004. (The federal funds rate is the rate commercial U.S. banks charge one another for overnight loans.) Over the first half of 2006, the Federal Reserve raised the rate four more times, lifting it to 5.25%, its highest level since March 2001.

          The Fed said it was reacting to the inflation threat posed by higher prices for energy and other commodities and to signs that the nation was using a high percentage of its productive capacity. Fuller use of capacity often leads to price increases.

LIBOR turns volatile

During the six-month period, the prospect of additional rate increases caused a wide fluctuation in the shape of the LIBOR curve, indicating that market participants were uncertain about future interest rates. (The LIBOR, the interest rate that banks charge one another for loans on the London market, is the most widely used benchmark for short-term rates.) By the end of June, however, the LIBOR curve had flattened considerably.

Asset allocations boost results

The fund maintained a sizable exposure to commercial paper, despite a decline in its supply in the second quarter. Commercial paper generally offered higher returns without appreciably higher risk. On June 30, 2006, securities of this type accounted for 85.9% of the portfolio.

          On June 30, 2006, certificates of deposits and bank notes made up 9.3% of the fund’s investments, up from 6.3% at the end of 2005. The remaining 4.8% was divided equally between government agency securities and floating-rate investments. Six months earlier, these two segments had made up 5.4% of the fund’s portfolio.

          On June 30, 2006, foreign securities made up 12.90% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

          During the period, the weighted average maturity of the fund fluctuated between 37 and 46 days. As of June 27, 2006, it stood at 41 days, versus 38 for the average iMoneyNet fund.

Investment objective

The fund seeks high current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital.

Special investment risks

In addition to the risks of any fixed-income investment, the fund is subject to special risks, including income volatility risk and foreign investment risks. For a further discussion of risk, please see page 8.

          An investment in this fund is not a deposit of any bank and is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. government agency. We will attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share for this fund, but it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

Note 1—significant accounting policies

TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds (the “Funds” or individually, the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust that was organized on January 13, 1997, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Funds currently consist of eleven series. The International Equity, Growth Equity, Growth & Income, Managed Allocation, Bond Plus and Money Market Funds commenced operations on July 17, 1997. The Equity Index, Social Choice Equity, High-Yield Bond, Short-Term Bond and Tax-Exempt Bond Funds commenced operations on March 1, 2000. Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”) invested seed money in each Fund at its commencement of operations. At June 30, 2006, TIAA had no remaining investments in the Funds.

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of estimates made by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.

Valuation of investments: Equity securities listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their sale price on such market or exchange at the close of business on the date of valuation, or at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices if no sale is reported. Net asset value of underlying funds is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). The market value of the underlying Funds is based on their net asset values as of the close of business on the valuation date. Debt securities will generally be valued using prices provided by a pricing service, which may employ various indications of value including but not limited to broker-dealer quotations. Certain debt securities, other than money market instruments, are valued based on the most recent bid price or the equivalent quoted yield for such securities (or those of comparable maturity, quality and type). Money market instruments (other than those in the Money Market Fund), with maturities of one year or less, are valued in the same manner as debt securities or derived from a pricing matrix that has various types of money market instruments along one axis and various maturities along the other. For the Money Market Fund, all of its investments are valued using the amortized cost method. Investments in other registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. Foreign investments are valued at the closing values of such securities as of the date of valuation under the generally accepted valuation method in the country where traded, converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the date of valuation. Stock and bond index futures and options, which are traded on commodities exchanges, are valued at the last sale price as of the close of such commodities exchanges.

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Portfolio securities may also be valued at fair value as determined in good

134 | 2006 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
continued
 

faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees if events materially affecting their value occur between the time their price is determined and the time a Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service, which attempts to calculate a fair value for securities based on numerous factors, including correlations of a security’s price with securities indices and other appropriate indicators, such as American Depositary Receipts and futures contracts. Other factors may also be considered in determining fair value, such as fundamental analytical data, market and trading trends, and public trading of similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over the counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic stock market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. If events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net assets are calculated, such securities may be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Funds have retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for Funds that primarily invest in international securities.

Accounting for investments: Securities transactions and investments in Underlying Funds are accounted for as of the trade date. Interest income is recorded as earned and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions from underlying funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Accounting for Real Estate Investments Trusts: The Funds may own shares of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs” or individually, “REIT”) . REITs report information on the source of their distributions once per year, in January. Such distributions may include one or more of the following components: ordinary income, long-term capital gains or a return of capital. The Funds have estimated what the components of these REIT distributions are and have reflected these amounts accordingly in the financial statements.

Dollar roll transactions: The Funds may enter into Mortgage Dollar Roll (“MDR”) transactions in which the Fund sells mortgage -backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund’s policy is to record the MDRs using “to be announced’’ mortgage -backed securities as purchase and sale transactions. Any difference between the purchase and sale price is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the trade date of the sale transaction. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it is required to have

TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds 2006 Semiannual Report | 135


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
continued
 

segregated assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its MDR commitments. In addition, the Funds may receive compensation that is recorded as deferred income and amortized to income over the roll period. The counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made in respect of a security subject to such a contract while it is the holder. MDRs may be renewed with a new purchase and repurchase price and a cash settlement made on settlement date without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Funds engage in MDRs for the purpose of enhancing their yields, principally by earning a negotiated fee.

Foreign currency transactions and translation: Portfolio investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments made in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of the transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio investments are included in the net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions include maturities of forward foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, and currency gains and losses between the accrual and receipt dates of portfolio investment income and between the trade and settlement dates of portfolio investment transactions.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds may use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Such contracts are entered into directly with a counterparty and are “marked-to-market” at the end of each day’s trading. The Funds are also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward foreign currency contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.

Forward foreign currency contracts will be used primarily to protect the Funds from adverse currency movements and will generally not be entered into for terms greater than one year. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund’s investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Statements of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to risks if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of assets and liabilities.

There were no open forward foreign currency contracts as of the end of the six month period ended June 30, 2006.

Futures contracts: The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the equity markets or for cash management purposes to remain highly invested in the equity markets while minimizing transaction costs. Buying futures contracts tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument/index, while selling futures contracts tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument/index or hedge other investments. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into a futures contract and variation margin payments are made or received reflecting changes in the value of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the last sale price as of the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Daily changes in the value of such contracts are reflected in net unrealized gains and losses. Gains or losses are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform in accordance with contractual provisions.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts, that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities, or that the counterparty to a contract may default on its obligation to perform. There were no open futures contracts as of the end of the six month period ended June 30, 2006.

Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed -delivery basis: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed -delivery basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed -deliv ery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it is required to have segregated assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed -delivery purchase commitments. Credit risks exist on these commitments to the extent of any unrealized gains on the un derlying securities purchased and any unrealized losses on the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis, and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. In addition to the normal credit and market risks, transactions with delayed settlement dates may expose the Funds to greater risk that such transactions may not be consummated.

Treasury Inflation -Protected Securities: The Bond Plus Fund and Short-Term Bond Fund invest in Treasury Inflation -Protected Securities (“TIPS”), specially structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) . The adjustments for interest income due to inflation are reflected in interest income in the Statements of operations. TIPS are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. TIPS are subject to interest rate risk. However, because TIPS have better price protection through inflation adjustments, they tend to perform well in a rising interest -rate environment if rates increase due to inflation.

Restricted securities: Restricted securities held by the Funds, if any, may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the risk of investing in securities that are widely held and publicly traded.

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions from net investment income, if any, for the Bond Plus, Short-Term Bond, Tax-Exempt Bond and High-Yield Bond Funds are declared and paid monthly; for the Growth & Income and Managed Allocation Funds distributions are declared and paid quarterly; for the Growth Equity, International Equity, Social Choice Equity and Equity Index Funds distributions are declared and paid annually; and for the Money Market Fund distributions are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryovers. Accumulated undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on total investments may include temporary and permanent book a nd tax differences. Temporary differences will reverse in subsequent periods and are generally due to differing book and tax treatments for the timing and recognition of gains and losses on securities, forwards, and futures, including post-October losses. Permanent differences will result in reclassifications among the respective components of net assets and are generally due to REIT adjustments, foreign currency transactions, distribution reclassifications, and gains on certain equity securities designated and issued by “passive foreign investment companies” .

Income taxes: The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that they distribute all taxable income each year and comply with various other Code requirements. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Furthermore, the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Tax-Exempt Bond Fund.

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to a Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.

Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest.

Transactions with affiliates: The Funds may purchase or sell investment securities in transactions with affiliated entities under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, pursuant t o the Investment Company Act of 1940. These transactions are effected at market rates without incurring broker commissions.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Also, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the Trustees and Officers of the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Note 2—management agreement

Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA and a registered investment adviser, provides investment advisory services for the Funds and is also responsible for providing, or obtaining at its own expense, the services reasonably necessary for the ordinary operation of the Funds. Under the terms of an Investment Management Agreement, each Fund pays Advisors a monthly fee for the management and administration of the Funds’ net assets, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, Advisors received the following annualized percentages of each Fund’s average daily net assets:

   
Investment Management Fee
International Equity Fund    0.49 % 
Growth Equity Fund    0.45 % 
Growth & Income Fund    0.43 % 
Equity Index Fund    0.26 % 
Social Choice Equity Fund    0.27 % 
Managed Allocation Fund    0.00 % 
High-Yield Bond Fund    0.34 % 
Short-Term Bond Fund    0.30 % 
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund    0.30 % 
Bond Plus Fund    0.30 % 
Money Market Fund    0.29 % 

Advisors will not receive a management fee for its services to the Managed Allocation Fund. However, shareholders in the Managed Allocation Fund will indirectly bear their pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in which the Managed Allocation Fund invests.

Total investment management fees incurred for each Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2006, are reflected in the Statements of operations.

Note 5—line of credit

The International Equity, Growth Equity, Growth & Income, Equity Index, Social Choice Equity, Managed Allocation, High-Yield Bond and Tax-Exempt Bond Funds participate in a $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for temporary purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemptions. Certain affiliated accounts and mutual funds, each of which is managed by Advisors, or an affiliate of Advisors, also participate in this facility. An annual commitment fee for the facility is borne by Advisors. Interest associated with any borrowing under the facility by the Funds is charged to Advisors at rates that are based on the Federal Funds Rate in effect during the time of the borrowing. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no borrowings under this credit facility by the Funds.

Note 6 - subsequent event

On July 27, 2006, the Funds entered into a four year agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company to engage in securities lending transactions. Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers consisting of financial institutions and brokers. By lending such securities, the Funds will attempt to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest on collateral (after rebates and fees). The loans will be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned for U.S. securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned for foreign securities. All cash collateral will be invested in the State Street Bank Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio.

Board approval of investment management agreement

The TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds’ trustees are responsible for overseeing the Funds’ corporate policies and for adhering to fiduciary standards under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Most significantly, the Board is responsible for the initial approval and annual renewal of the Funds’ investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”) . Under the Management Agreement, Advisors assumes responsibility for providing to, or obtaining for, the Funds all of the services necessary for their ordinary operation, including investment advisory, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, custody, accounting and administrative services.

In considering whether to renew the Management Agreement, the Board, at its April 3, 2006 and May 16, 2006 meetings, reviewed the following factors with respect to each Fund: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Advisors to each Fund; (2) the investment performance of each Fund; (3) the costs of the services provided to each Fund and the profits realized or to be realized by Advisors and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as each Fund grows; (5) whether the level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Advisors with other clients; and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Advisors from its relationship with the Funds. The factors should be viewed in their totality, with no single factor being the principal factor in determining whether to approve the renewal of the Management Agreement.

Set forth below are the general factors the Board considered for all of the Funds, followed by an outline of the specific factors the Board considered for each particular Fund.

The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered that Advisors is an experienced investment adviser that has managed the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds since 1997 and the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds since 1999. The investment professionals of Advisors have also managed various accounts of the College Retirement Equities Fund (“CREF”) since their inception. Under the Management Agreement, Advisors is responsible for managing the assets of the Funds, including conducting research; recommending investments and placing orders to buy and sell securities for the Funds’ investment portfolios; active and extensive monitoring of the investment portfolios daily by various personnel with specific responsibility for the particular type of investment in question; and reporting on the investment performance of the Funds to the Boards at their scheduled quarterly meetings. The Board considered that Advisors has carried out these responsibilities in a highly professional manner.

The Board considered, among other things, the performance of each of the Funds, as discussed below.

Performance. The Board considered the performance of each Fund over the past year, three years and since inception and the Funds’ performance as compared to

144 | 2006 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds


Board approval of investment management agreement
continued
 

their peer groups and benchmark indices. The Board considered the comparative performance and expense data for each Fund prepared by an independent third party, Lipper, Inc.’s Global Fiduciary Review unit (“Lipper”) for each class of each pertinent Fund, as well as Fund performance against its performance benchmark. In looking at this data, the Board considered that most of the Funds met their benchmarks over the long term (when factoring the effect of expenses), and ranked in the top three quintiles versus their peers. For additional details about each Fund of the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.

Cost and Profitability. The Board considered the materials it received reflecting Advisors’ revenues for providing investment management and other services to the Funds and that Advisors is providing these services overall at a loss. The Board noted that the Funds’ unitary fee structure provided no flexibility to the Advisor in the face of rising costs. The Board considered the detailed Fund-by-Fund analysis of Advisors’ profitability with respect to each Fund, calculated for the year ended December 31, 2005, as outlined in the synopsis below. In reviewing the profitability information provided, the Board considered that Advisors runs substantial losses. In addition, the Board considered that Advisors’ revenues are reasonable from a shareholder perspective, but may not be adequate when considering the nature, quality and cost of Advisors’ services to the Funds.

Fees Charged by Other Advisers. The Board considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar Funds. The Board received comparative fee information for comparable peer group Funds prepared by Lipper. The Board considered that the proposed unitary advisory fee to be paid to Advisors for its services to each Fund compared favorably to the advisory fees charged to other comparable funds. The Board considered that, for the most part, the fees under Advisors’ current Management Agreement with the Funds are lower than those of the peer group funds identi fied by Lipper. See the Fund-by-Fund detail below.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Advisors may experience economies of scale in connection with the operation of each Fund. In making this determination, the Board considered that all of the Funds operate at a loss to Advisors. While Advisors experiences certain economies of scale by sharing investment personnel with TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC and among the Funds, this generally NT size=2 face="serif"> does not offset these losses. While breakpoints could be an appropriate way for Advisors to share economies of scale with Funds that have substantial assets or that have grown materially over the year, Advisors does not believe there is a direct relationship between the economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by Advisors as assets increase. This is largely because any economies of scale realized by Advisors and Investment Management are across a variety of classes, services, and products and not due to the growth of a single Fund.

Fee Comparison with Other Advisors’ Clients. The Board considered that Advisors provides similar investment management services to each of the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds, the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds, TIAA-CREF Life

Funds, and TIAA Separate Account VA-1, although distribution channels differ. In addition, Advisors, through its TIAA-CREF Asset Management (TCAM) division, manages large institutional client assets through unregistered commingled Funds and separate accounts with similar investment strategies and investment staff. The Board considered the schedule of fees for each of the comparable Funds, and the fact that all of Advisors’ fees are low in comparison to comparable Funds offered by other Fund companies. In addition, while the advisory fees may not be precisely the same for comparable Funds, this is due in part to the fact that some of the comparable Funds are offered through products that charge additional fees to their investors. In particular, the Board considered that the comparable Funds target different types of investors and use different distribution channels, variables factored in when determining appropriate pricing of services.

Other Benefits. Advisors and its affiliates may benefit from the advisory relationship with the Funds to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA-CREF group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and nonprofit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. Also, certain investment portfolios managed by Advisors are managed in the same manner and by the same personnel as certain of the CREF Accounts, resulting in the possibility for benefits associated with economies of scale.
