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 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. For current performance information, including performance to the most recent month-end, please visit www.tiaa-cref.org, or call 800 223-1200.



Understanding your TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds report

This report contains information about TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds and analyzes the funds’ results for the year ended December 31, 2006. It has five main sections:

 

 

The performance overview on the inside front cover shows the funds’ returns over a variety of time periods.

 

 

The letter from Edward Grzybowski, the chief investment officer of Teachers Advisors, Inc., the funds’ investment adviser, explains how returns from various asset classes differed during the twelve-month period.

 

 

The fund performance section compares each fund’s return with the returns of that fund’s benchmark index and peer group.

 

 

The summary portfolios of investments list the industries or types of securities in which each fund had investments as of December 31, 2006, and the largest individual issues the fund held on that date.

 

 

The financial statements contain detailed information about the operations and financial condition of each fund.

          As always, you should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before investing. Please visit our website at www.tiaa-cref.org, or call 800 223-1200, for a prospectus that contains this and other important information. We urge you to read it carefully before investing.

Contents



Report to investors

The U.S. stock market got off to a strong start in 2006, but a sell-off during the second quarter erased many of those early gains. During the year’s second half, a vigorous rally on Wall Street and in many other stock markets around the world enabled U.S. and foreign stocks to score impressive gains for the twelve-month period. Both categories posted their best returns since 2003.

          The Russell 3000® Index, which measures the broad U.S. market, advanced 15.7% for the year—nearly twice the 8.6% average annual return of the index over the decade that ended December 31, 2006.

          U.S. stocks benefited from a double-digit increase in corporate profits and solid economic growth. All twelve industry sectors of the Russell 3000 advanced, led by the 34.7% jump in the integrated oils sector. Financial stocks, which made up nearly one-quarter of the index, in terms of market capitalization, climbed 19.4%.

          The MSCI EAFE® Index, which tracks 21 stock markets in developed nations outside North America, rose 26.3%, in terms of dollars. This exceptional return owed much to the increased value of the euro and pound versus the dollar as well as to higher corporate profits in Europe. The average annual return for the EAFE index over the 10-year period was 7.7% in dollar terms.

U.S. economy shows resilience

Despite patches of weakness and a downturn in the housing market, the overall national economy continued to expand at a healthy pace in 2006. Initial estimates are that Gross Domestic Product rose 3.4% during the year.

          After raising short-term interest rates four times during the first six months of 2006, the Federal Reserve held them steady for the rest of the year.

          The price of oil, which peaked at $77 per barrel in mid-July, declined to $61 per barrel at year’s end—a 21% drop. In December, the overall inflation rate as measured by the Consumer Price Index was 2.5% on a year-over-year basis.

          Level short-term interest rates in the second half of the year and expectations of a cooling economy in 2007 lifted prices for both government and corporate bonds. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures the total return for investment-grade U.S. bonds, rose 4.3% for the year. High-yield bonds, which often perform well when company fundamentals are strong, returned 11.9%, as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index.

Five funds post double-digit gains

During 2006, five of the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds posted double-digit gains, and all the funds registered solid positive returns. The performance of individual funds reflected the widely varying returns of the asset classes in which the funds invest.

          Returns for the equity funds ranged from 5.4% for the Growth Equity Fund to 29.4% for the International Equity Fund, which invests in foreign stocks.

          A rally in the bond market during the second half of 2006 enabled all of our fixed-income funds to post positive results for the year. Returns varied from 4.3% for the Bond Plus Fund to 9.7% for the High-Yield Bond Fund.

          Increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve during the year’s first half were still affecting the market at year-end, when the effective 7-day yield of the Money Market Fund was 5.26%.

Is your asset allocation on track?

Over the last three years, our best-performing fund, the International Equity Fund, produced a cumulative return of 73.4%. During the same time, the Bond Plus Fund returned 11.5%. (Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results.)

          When returns differ so sharply, the asset allocations you have chosen for your portfolio can shift significantly. This can change the degree of risk to which your investments are exposed. Many financial planners recommend rebalancing a portfolio at least once a year to restore allocations in each asset class (stocks, bonds and cash) to the levels originally intended.

          If you would like assistance in finding the mix of investments best suited to your financial needs, time horizon and attitude toward risk, we invite you to visit our website or to call us.

More information for investors

Portfolio listings

SEC rules intended to provide investors with more meaningful information about fund performance allow investment companies to list the top holdings of each fund in their annual and semiannual reports instead of providing complete portfolio listings. The funds file complete portfolio listings with the SEC, which are available to investors.

          You can obtain a complete list of TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds’ holdings (called “TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds Statements of Investments”) as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter (currently for the period ended December 31, 2006) in the following ways:

You can also obtain a complete list of the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds’ holdings as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, and for prior quarter-ends, from the SEC. (Form N-CSR lists holdings as of December 31 or June 30; Form N-Q lists holdings as of March 31 or September 30.) Copies of these forms are available:

 

 

through the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (EDGAR) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov; or

 

 

at the SEC’s Public Reference Room. (Call 800 SEC-0330 for more information.)

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.

Emerging markets are nations with relatively low per capita income levels and above-average economic growth rates or prospects for growth.

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.”

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 similar objectives whose performance can be compared with that of an individual mutual fund with a similar objective.

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.”

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 July 1, 2006, and held for six months until December 31, 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The International Equity Fund returned 29.36% for the year, compared with the 26.34% gain of the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index, and the 24.82% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category.

Weak dollar helps foreign stocks soar

Foreign stocks achieved exceptional returns in 2006, outpacing domestic issues for the fifth consecutive year. The lofty return of the EAFE index was more than ten percentage points higher than the 15.72% gain of the Russell 3000® Index, a measure of the broad U.S. stock market. Most of this outperformance, however, was due to the weaker dollar, which amplified the EAFE’s 16.46% rise in terms of local currencies to 26.34% in dollar terms.

          For the ten years ended December 31, 2006, U.S. stocks had the advantage over foreign issues: the average annual return of the Russell 3000 was 8.64%, versus 7.71% in dollar terms for the EAFE.

European stocks climb the highest

For the year, the EAFE’s European segment surged 33.72%, thanks largely to German, French and British stocks, which gained 36.0%, 34.48% and 30.61%, respectively. (All these figures are in dollar terms.) Stocks from these three countries made up more than 40% of the benchmark in terms of market capitalization at year’s end. Japanese stocks, which constituted slightly less than one-quarter of the benchmark’s market capitalization at year’s end, returned just 6.24% in dollars.

Stock selections lift the fund above the benchmark

The fund topped its benchmark due to numerous successful stock selections. Among the largest contributors were overweight holdings, relative to the benchmark, in Italian carmaker Fiat, British financial company Man Group and French hotel operator Accor. A position in Swiss private bank Julius Baer, a stock not in the benchmark, also boosted returns.

          Nonbenchmark holdings that detracted from relative performance included Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical and two Japanese companies, magnet maker Neomax and credit company Orient. Teva was held as an American Depositary Receipt (a receipt for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange). Overweights in British utility Centrica and German post office Deutsche Post also reduced relative returns.

          On December 31, 2006, emerging-market stocks, which are not included in the benchmark, made up approximately 2.9% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Growth Equity Fund returned 5.42% for the year, compared with the 9.07% gain of the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, and the 6.93% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Growth category.

The large-cap growth category scored a solid return during 2006, but it was less than half the 22.25% gain of large-cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index. This was the seventh consecutive year in which large-cap growth underperformed large-cap value. For the year, large-cap growth also trailed growth stocks in the small- and mid-cap subcategories.

          For the ten years ended December 31, 2006, large-cap growth produced an average annual return of 5.44%—less than half the 11% average return for large-cap value issues.

Largest sectors post lackluster results

For the year, the fund’s benchmark failed to keep pace with its value counterpart because its three largest sectors, which together made up more than half of its market capitalization, each lagged the broad U.S. stock market for the year. Of these sectors, the technology and consumer discretionary sectors posted returns of 8.6% and 7.4%, respectively, while health care returned just 3.7%.

          In contrast, the two largest sectors of the Russell 1000 Value Index, financials and utilities, posted gains of 20% and 31%, respectively, for the period.

Individual stock selections limit returns

The fund underperformed its benchmark largely because of overweight positions in a number of stocks that did not perform as anticipated. These stocks included medical device maker St. Jude Medical, eBay and prescription retailer Caremark. Also detracting from relative performance were positions in several nonbench-mark stocks, including semiconductor maker Marvell Technology and Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical.

          Positive contributors to relative performance included underweight holdings in chip maker Intel and UnitedHealth Group, an HMO. Overweight positions in Goldman Sachs and computer company Network Appliance also helped relative performance, as did a nonbenchmark holding in French industrial giant Alstom.

          On December 31, 2006, foreign securities made up 6.37% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts, which are receipts for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.

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

 


  DISCUSSION

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Growth & Income Fund returned 16.72% for the year, compared with the 15.79% gain of the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, and the 14.13% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend category.

S&P 500 edges past the broad U.S. market

During 2006, the S&P 500 Index, consisting mostly of large-cap stocks, just topped the broad-based Russell 3000® Index, which gained 15.72%. The lower return of the Russell 3000 was due to the underperformance of its mid-cap stocks. The S&P 500 Index includes few mid-cap stocks.

          For the ten-year period ended December 31, 2006, the 8.42% average annual return of the S&P 500 fell short of the 8.64% average return of the Russell 3000.

Broad-based sector gains lift the index

All ten sectors of the S&P 500 advanced for the year, with eight generating double-digit gains. The financial and energy sectors, which together made up nearly one-third of the benchmark’s total market capitalization on December 31, 2006, returned 19.2% and 24.2%, respectively.

          The weakest results came from the information technology and health care sectors, which produced gains of 8.4% and 7.5%, respectively.

Stock selections boost the fund above the benchmark

The fund outperformed its benchmark primarily because of overweight positions in several stocks that posted extraordinary returns. These stocks included computer graphics company Nvidia, computer network provider Cisco and Occidental Petroleum. A position in French industrial giant Alstom, a stock not included in the benchmark, also contributed to the fund’s strong showing.

          The largest detractors from relative performance included overweight positions in Coventry Health Care and fiber-optics maker JDS Uniphase; these stocks did not perform as anticipated. Underweight holdings in insurer Cigna and Goldman Sachs also subtracted from relative returns.

          On December 31, 2006, foreign securities made up 6.78% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts, which are receipts for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.

Equity Index Fund   |    U.S. stocks

 


  DISCUSSION

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Equity Index Fund returned 15.42% for the year, compared with the 15.72% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, and the 14.13% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend category.

Stocks sizzle in the second half of 2006

The broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, posted its best calendar-year return since 2003. Stock prices were propelled by continued growth in corporate earnings and falling energy prices. Most of the market’s climb occurred between August and December, when the index jumped 12.20% after a 3.13% rise through July.

          Both growth and value stocks posted strong results across all three market-capitalization sizes, as defined by the Russell indexes. Small-cap value stocks led the pack with a 23.48% gain, while large-cap growth stocks trailed other categories, returning 9.07%.

          However, U.S. stocks continued to trail foreign issues, which soared 26.34% in dollar terms, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index. This return resulted largely from a weaker dollar. For the ten-year period, the average annual return of the Russell 3000 was 8.64%, versus 7.71% for the EAFE in dollar terms.

Integrated oils lead a broad-based advance

All twelve benchmark sectors moved solidly upward, and ten produced double-digit gains. The largest sector, financial stocks, which made up nearly a quarter of the benchmark in terms of market capitalization at year’s end, climbed 19.4%. The next-largest sector, consumer discretionary, rose 12.3%, and the third-largest, technology, returned 10.9%.

          The best-performing sectors, integrated oils and utilities, posted outsized gains of 34.7% and 30.5%, respectively. Although these two sectors together constituted only about 12% of the benchmark’s market capitalization on December 31, their exceptional performance contributed substantially to overall returns.

Largest stocks post strong results

In descending order according to cap size, the benchmark’s five-largest holdings performed as follows: ExxonMobil, 38.9%; General Electric, 8.9%; Citigroup, 19.4%; Microsoft, 15.3%; and Bank of America, 20.6%.

          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 had a risk profile similar to that of the benchmark.

Social Choice Equity Fund  |   Socially screened stocks

 


  DISCUSSION


Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Social Choice Equity Fund returned 14.08% for the year, compared with the 15.72% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, and the 14.13% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend category. Unlike the fund, the benchmark and the Morningstar category do not screen investments according to social criteria.

Exclusion of major stocks trims returns

Because of its social screens, the fund did not invest in several stocks that were sizable components of the benchmark in terms of market capitalization. The exclusion of these stocks produced both positive and negative results, but the net effect was to lower the fund’s return versus that of its benchmark.

          Relative performance suffered most from the exclusion of ExxonMobil, which advanced 38.9% for the year and was the largest component of the Russell 3000 on December 31, 2006. The avoidance of two other energy stocks, Chevron and ConocoPhillips, and of Morgan Stanley also hurt relative performance.

          Performance versus the benchmark was helped by the exclusion of Yahoo, which fell 35.4% for the year. Avoiding stocks such as General Electric, Wal-Mart and insurer American International Group also proved advantageous.

Additional techniques help manage risk

Because the fund’s social screens prevent it from investing in some stocks of the Russell 3000, the fund’s managers use statistical techniques to ensure that the risk characteristics of the portfolio resemble those of the index. One of these methods is to overweight or underweight certain stocks relative to each one’s percentage of capitalization within the benchmark.

          During 2006 overweight positions in Merck, Verizon and AT&T enhanced the fund’s return. Chip maker Intel and Anadarko Petroleum were also overweighted, but they did not perform as anticipated and reduced returns. Relative performance was also hurt by underweights in HMO UnitedHealth Group and Bank of America, which was added to the list of major holdings in the second quarter of 2006.

          Coca-Cola and JPMorgan Chase—until recently two of the portfolio’s largest companies in terms of market capitalization—were dropped during the year because they failed the fund’s qualitative screens.

Managed Allocation Fund   |    Stocks and bonds

 


  DISCUSSION

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Managed Allocation Fund returned 11.94%, compared with the 12.43% return of its benchmark, the Managed Allocation Composite Index, and the 11.26% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Moderate Allocation category.

U.S. stocks and bonds rally

After gaining only 3.23% in the first half of 2006, the Russell 3000® Index, a proxy for the broad U.S. stock market, rose 12.09% in the second half. The sharp rise in stock prices resulted largely from the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold short-term rates unchanged during the six-month period.

          International shares topped domestic issues. The MSCI EAFE® Index, which tracks stocks in 21 developed nations outside North America, rose 26.34% in dollar terms and 16.46% in local currencies.

          Rising short-term interest rates in the period’s first half led to disappointing bond returns. However, the Fed’s pause in the second half helped spur a rally later in the year.

          For the reporting period, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, a measure of the overall investment-grade bond market, gained 4.33%, short-term bonds returned 4.22%, and high-yield bonds advanced 11.9%.

Stock funds detract from relative returns

During the period, four of the fund’s five equity components trailed their respective benchmarks, mainly because of unsuccessful stock choices. The Growth Equity Fund, which made up about one-fifth of the fund’s portfolio, gained 5.42%, lagging its benchmark by more than three percentage points. Despite a 21.24% advance, the Large-Cap Value Fund, another large component, also trailed its benchmark.

          Other underlying funds performed well. The International Equity Fund’s 29.36% return topped its benchmark by more than three percentage points. In addition, each bond fund helped relative performance by outpacing its index.

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 December 31, 2006, the fund’s asset allocation, shown on page 30, 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 2006.

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.

Risks of this fund

The underlying funds of the Managed Allocation Fund invest in both equity and fixed-income securities. Therefore, the Managed Allocation Fund is subject to the general and special risks of those underlying funds. For a complete discussion of risk, please see the prospectus.

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 December 31, 2006, the current pro rata expense ratio is 0.49%.

An investment of $10,000 in this fund on September 2, 1997, would have grown to $18,581 as of December 31, 2006, including reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For the purpose of comparison, the graph also shows the change in the values of the fund’s benchmark components and peer group during the same period.

During the period, the fund changed its broad-based index from the Managed Allocation Composite Index to the Russell 3000 Index in order to more appropriately reflect the broad-based securities market through a widely recognized index. For the period from inception through December 31, 2006, a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Managed Allocation Fund would have increased by $8,581, compared with an increase of $9,416 for the Managed Allocation Composite Index and an increase of $8,800 for the Russell 3000 Index.

High-Yield Bond Fund   |  High-yield bonds

 


  DISCUSSION

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The High-Yield Bond Fund returned 9.68% for the year, compared with the 9.27% gain of its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch BB/B Cash Pay Issuer Constrained Index, and the 10.14% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar High-Yield Bond category.

High-yield bonds make a comeback

In 2006 the benchmark posted a return nearly triple its 3.41% gain in 2005 and in line with its five-year average of 9.08%. For the year, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which tracks investment-grade bonds, rose 4.33%, while the Russell 3000® Index, a proxy for domestic stocks, advanced 15.72%.

          During the period, investors showed a strong appetite for high-yield securities. This activity bolstered bond prices and helped finance $137 billion of new issues. The increase in leveraged buyouts funded by new issues made headlines. Because of strong corporate balance sheets, historically low default rates declined for the fifth consecutive year, from 2.34% to 1.82%.

Lowest-quality bonds lead the market

When interest rates rise, bond prices normally fall. However, lower-quality bonds are less sensitive to changes in interest rates than those of higher quality. Instead, they are primarily affected by factors that can lead to defaults, such as lower corporate profitability.

          In the first half of the year, long-term interest rates rose, and higher-quality bonds trailed their lower-rated counterparts. When interest rates fell in the second half, lower-rated bonds continued to prevail, though by a smaller margin. Their prices were buoyed by increased demand.

Trading strategies help the fund

The fund topped its benchmark for the year because of successful sector positions and security selections. Overweights in the automobile and automobile credit sectors boosted performance, although an underweight in the airline sector partly offset these contributions. Overweighting lower-rated C to CCC+ bonds and underweighting higher-rated BB bonds also enhanced relative performance.

          Holdings in General Motors, Ford and GMAC Financial Services helped returns, as did a holding in Keystone Automotive, a position that had hurt performance in 2005. Other successful investments included Hertz, software company Sunguard, satellite services provider Intelsat and Reliant Energy.

Investment objective

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

Risks of this fund

In addition to the risks of any fixed-income investment—income volatility risk, credit risk, interest-rate risk, call risk, prepayment risk and extension risk—the fund is subject to special risks, including illiquid security risk and foreign investment risks. For a complete discussion of risk, please see the prospectus.

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Short-Term Bond Fund returned 4.39% for the year, compared with the 4.22% gain of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government/Credit (1–5 Year) Index, and the 4.01% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category.

Bonds dip, then soar

During the first six months of 2006, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates four times in an effort to combat inflation. As a result, bond yields rose, pushing bond prices lower. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) For the first half of the year, the fund’s benchmark eked out a gain of 0.65%, while the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures intermediate-term bonds, lost 0.72%.

          During the second half of 2006, inflation eased, and the Fed kept rates unchanged at each of its remaining four meetings. These decisions to hold rates steady helped the benchmark jump 3.54% and the Lehman aggregate index rise 5.09%.

Longer maturities provide lower yields

When the reporting period began, the 2-year Treasury note yielded 4.40% and the 5-year just 4.35%. (Securities with longer maturities usually have higher yields to compensate investors for their greater inflation risk.) Both yields climbed steadily during the first six months of the year, and on June 30 the 2-year stood at 5.15% and the 5-year at 5.09%. Yields fell in the second half, but by year-end the shorter-dated maturity, at 4.81%, held a wider lead over the longer-term note, which yielded 4.69%.

Consistent outperformance tops the benchmark

During the year’s first half, the fund gained 0.77%, topping its benchmark. By maintaining a duration shorter than the benchmark’s, the fund’s managers helped the portfolio retain more of its value as bond prices fell. An underweight position in U.S. Treasuries also boosted relative returns, as did individual security selections in corporate bonds and positions in asset-backed securities, which are not in the benchmark.

In the second half, the fund returned 3.59%, again beating its benchmark. Holdings in asset-backed securities and an underweight position in U.S. Treasuries continued to help relative returns. While keeping a shorter duration than the benchmark’s benefited the fund in the first half, the same strategy detracted from returns in the second because yields were falling and bond prices rising.

  DISCUSSION

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund returned 4.37% for the year, compared with the 4.71% gain of the fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index, and the 4.59% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Municipal National Long category.

Yield spreads tighten

During 2006 short-term interest rates rose but then leveled off. At year’s end, yields on shorter-term municipal bond issues stood lower, and those on longer-term munis higher, than they had been twelve months earlier. The spread between the yields of 1-year and 30-year munis narrowed to 0.65 of a percentage point, versus 1.15 percentage points at the beginning of 2006.

          With longer-term yields falling, municipal bonds became a less-attractive alternative to Treasury securities. At year-end, 10-year munis provided 83% of the yield of 10-year Treasuries—down from 89% at the beginning of the year.

          Thirty-year bonds topped their shorter-term counterparts, gaining 6.82% for the year. Hungry for higher returns, investors favored BBB-rated bonds, which outperformed higher-quality AAA issues. With no natural disasters occurring to deplete their resources, property and casualty insurers regained their interest in municipal bonds.

Bond issues fall

States and municipalities issued $383 billion in bonds in 2006. This total was down about 6.2% from the record $408 billion in bonds they had issued in 2005. Higher short-term interest rates had made refunding less advantageous, and as a result, refunding activity fell off sharply. This decline was partly offset by a moderate rise in new issues, the result of lower long-term rates.

Fund trails the benchmark

The fund lagged its benchmark for the year primarily because its managers continued to favor high-grade securities and to avoid volatile industrial, health care, resource recovery and tobacco bonds, which outperformed the overall tax-exempt market in 2006.

          In the second quarter, the fund’s relative performance was reduced by a drop in the high-grade market, which was caused by a large insurance company’s liquidation of about $7 billion in high-grade securities.

          In the third quarter, the high-grade sector rebounded, and the high-yield sector lagged. This enabled the fund to top its benchmark for the quarter. This outperformance was not enough, however, to lift the fund’s return above the benchmark’s for the year.

Bond Plus Fund   |   Intermediate-term bonds

 


DISCUSSION

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Bond Plus Fund returned 4.34% for the year, compared with the 4.33% gain of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, and the 4.12% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category.

Second-half rally lifts bond returns

During the first six months of 2006, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates four times in an effort to combat inflation. As a result, yields for 10-year Treasury bonds rose from 4.39% to 5.14%, pushing bond prices lower. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.) The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures the investment-grade U.S. bond market, fell 0.72%.

          During the second half of 2006, inflation eased, and the Fed kept rates unchanged at each of its remaining four meetings. Level rates fueled a bond rally that sent the benchmark up 5.09% during the six-month period.

Longer maturities provide lower yields

The 2-year Treasury note yielded 4.40% at the start of 2006—slightly more than the yield for a 10-year issue. (Securities with longer maturities usually have higher yields to compensate investors for their greater inflation risk.) The spread between 2-year and 10-year Treasuries was still close in June, but at the end of December, the shorter-dated note had widened its lead: it stood at 4.81%, versus 4.70% for the longer-dated issue.

A strong finish helps the fund edge past the benchmark

During the first half of the year, the fund matched the 0.72% drop of the benchmark. Relative performance benefited from individual bond selection among mortgage-backed securities. In addition, an underweight in Treasuries helped, since they did not perform as well as other bond sectors. Maintaining a duration that was shorter than the benchmark’s also aided returns when bond prices fell.

          In the second half, the fund’s 5.10% gain topped the benchmark’s return by 0.01 of a percentage point. Security selection among corporate bonds helped relative performance, as did a continued underweight in Treasuries. The fund’s shorter duration did not meaningfully affect relative performance.

DISCUSSION

Performance in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006

The Money Market Fund returned 4.89% for the year, compared with the 4.50% gain of the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report Averages™—All Taxable, a simple average of over 1,000 taxable money market funds.

The Fed raises rates four times, then pauses

During the first half of 2006, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate four times, lifting it from 4.25% to 5.25%. (The federal funds rate is the rate commercial U.S. banks charge one another for overnight loans.) Behind these increases was the Fed’s concern that higher energy prices and an expanding economy would send inflation out of control: year-over-year inflation climbed 4.3% in June.

          During the second half of the year, economic growth moderated. Oil prices dropped 21% from their midsummer high, and in October year-over-year inflation fell to 1.3%. The slowing economy led the Fed to hold rates steady at four successive meetings, after 17 consecutive quarter-point hikes that spanned more than two years.

A volatile LIBOR reflects investor uncertainty

Early in the year, yields on twelve-month issues rose in tandem with yields on shorter-maturity issues, and the LIBOR curve held steady. (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.) However, later in the period, with some investors anticipating a Fed rate cut, yields of longer-maturity issues fell, and the LIBOR flattened. The LIBOR fluctuated widely throughout much of the twelve months as investors reacted to shifting economic data.

Fund strategies pay off

During the year, the fund’s managers adjusted their strategies to the uncertain interest-rate environment.

          Commercial paper, which was in short supply for much of the year, made up 88.2% of the portfolio at year-end, virtually unchanged from a year earlier. (Commercial paper offers higher returns than other money market instruments without significant additional risk.) Certificates of deposit and floating-rate securities accounted for 6.1% and 5% of the portfolio, respectively, while U.S. agency securities declined to just 0.7%.

          On December 31, 2006, foreign securities made up 16% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

          During the year, the fund’s weighted average maturity fluctuated between 36 and 48 days. On December 26, 2006, it stood at 42 days, the same as that of the average iMoneyNet fund.

Risks of this fund

In addition to the risks of any fixed-income investment—income volatility risk, credit risk, interest-rate risk, call risk, prepayment risk and extension risk—the fund is subject to special risks, including foreign investment risks. For a complete discussion of risk, please see the prospectus.

          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.

Notes to financial statements | TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds

 



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 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. 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. Investments in other registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. 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. 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 sales 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 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.

Distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each REIT reports annually the tax character of its distributions. Dividend income, realized gains and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflect the amounts of taxable income, capital gain and return of capital reported by each REIT, and management’s estimates of such amounts for REIT distributions for which actual information has not been reported.

Mortgage dollar roll transactions: The Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery and 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 Funds’ policy is to record the dollar rolls 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 segregated assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its dollar roll 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. Dollar rolls 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 dollar rolls for the purpose of enhancing their yields, principally by earning a negotiated fee.

Loan participations and commitments: High-Yield Bond Fund may invest in loan participations. When a Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participation (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). The Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan which it has purchased from the Selling Participant.

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 non-performance 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 for the year ended December 31, 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 sales 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.

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-delivery 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 underlying 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. 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 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 which 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 capital loss carryovers.

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.

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.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, permanent book and tax differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, dividend reclassifications, capital gain distributions from the underlying funds, and gains and losses from the sale of stock in passive foreign investment companies were identified and reclassified among the components of the Funds’ net assets. Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statements of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

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 to the Investment Company Act of 1940. These transactions are effected at market rates without incurring broker commissions.

Income and expenses: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums using the effective yield method.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which 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 Funds are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the 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 year ended December 31, 2006, Advisors received the following annualized percentages of each Fund’s average daily net assets:

Total investment management fees incurred for each Fund for the year ended December 31, 2006, are reflected in the Statements of operations.

The difference between book basis and tax basis net investment income, net realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization, for tax purposes, of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies and futures contracts, adjustments for REIT distributions, and the use of capital loss carryovers.

For the year ending December 31, 2006, the International Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Social Choice Equity Fund, and High-Yield Bond Fund utilized $18,961,972, $20,307,701, $19,954,581, $1,787,060, $649,733, and $615,535, respectively, of their capital loss carryover available from prior years.

Note 5—line of credit

Each of the Funds, except the Short-Term Bond, Bond Plus and Money Market Funds, participated in a $1.75 billion committed revolving credit facility dated August 8, 2005, which was replaced by a new agreement dated August 7, 2006.

Under the new agreement each of the Funds, except the Short-Term Bond, Bond Plus and Money Market Funds, participate in a $1.5 billion committed revolving credit facility that can 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 credit facility is borne by Advisors. Interest associated with any borrowing under the facility is charged to Advisors at rates which are based on the Federal Funds Rate in effect during the time of the borrowing. For the year ended December 31, 2006 there were no borrowings under this credit facility by the Funds.

Note 6—securities lending

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, a Rule 2a-7 money market fund, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The risk of borrower default will be borne by State Street Bank. As of December 31, 2006, none of the Funds have yet engaged in such securities lending.

Note 7—new accounting pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including what jurisdiction the entity may be taxable in), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. Management continues to evaluate the application of the interpretation to the Funds, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”). This new standard applies to all entities that follow U.S. GAAP, including mutual funds, and their valuation techniques for assets and liabilities. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the financial statements.

Note 8—subsequent event

The Funds’ Board of Trustees has approved a plan to reorganize each of the Funds into corresponding funds of the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds, for which Teachers Advisors, Inc. also serves as investment advisor. These reorganizations are subject to approval by the Funds’ shareholders at a special meeting scheduled to be held on April 3, 2007. If approved by the shareholders, the mergers are expected to occur in the second quarter of 2007. In contemplation of this reorganization, the Board of Trustees closed the Funds to new investors effective April 28, 2006.

2006 Annual Report  TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds



Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the summary portfolios of investments (portfolio of investments for Managed Allocation Fund), and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the International Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Social Choice Equity Fund, Managed Allocation Fund, High-Yield Bond Fund, Short-Term Bond Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Bond Plus Fund and Money Market Fund (constituting the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2006, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for each of the periods in the three year period ended December 31, 2004 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 25, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

     PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) performs independent audits of the Registrant’s financial statements. To maintain auditor independence and avoid even the appearance of conflicts of interest, the Registrant, as a policy, does not engage PricewaterhouseCoopers for management advisory or consulting services.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, the Other Fees billed by PwC to the Fund Service Providers were $10,000 and $101,200, respectively.

4(e)(1) Preapproval Policy.

The Registrant’s audit committee (“Audit Committee”) has adopted a Preapproval Policy for External Audit Firm Services (the “Policy”). The Policy describes the types of services that may be provided by the independent auditor to the Registrant and certain of its affiliates without impairing the auditor’s independence. Under the Policy, the Audit Committee is required to


preapprove all services to be performed by the Registrant’s independent auditor in order to ensure that such services do not impair the auditor’s independence.

     The Policy requires the Audit Committee to: (i) appoint the independent auditor to perform the financial statements audit for the Registrant and certain of its affiliates, including approving the terms of the engagement, and (ii) preapprove the audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by the independent auditor to the Registrant and certain of its affiliates and the fees to be charged for provision of such services from year to year.

4(e)(2) Services provided pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “de minimis exception”):

Audit-Related Fees:

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 on behalf of the Registrant.

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 on behalf of the Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.

Tax Fees:

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 on behalf of the Registrant.

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 on behalf of the Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.

All Other Fees:

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 on behalf of the Registrant.

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 on behalf of the Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.


4(f) The percentage of hours expended by PwC’s engagement to audit the Registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year attributable to work performed by persons other than PwC’s full-time, permanent employees was less than 50%.

4(g) Non-Audit Fees for Related Entities.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, aggregate non-audit fees billed to the Registrant and to its Fund Service Providers by PwC were $595,600 and $978,600, respectively.

4(h) The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services that were rendered by PwC to the Registrant’s Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence.
