The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires the TIAA-CREF Life Separate Account VA-1 and Separate Account VLI-1 to provide investors with periodic reports on the financial condition and portfolio holdings of the funds in which the accounts invest. The funding vehicles for the accounts are the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. The returns of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds shown here do not include the administrative expense and mortality and expense risk charges deducted under the Personal Annuity Select, Lifetime Variable Select, Variable Universal Life, and Single Premium Immediate Annuities contracts. Because of these additional deductions, the returns on the investment accounts offered through the contracts that invest in these funds are lower, for the same periods, than the figures shown here.

Due to market volatility, recent performance of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds may differ from the figures shown in the table above. For more current performance, including performance to the most recent month-end, visit www.tiaa-cref.org/lifefunds. Past performance should not be taken as a guarantee of future rates of return. Future returns will fluctuate, as will the value of investment principal. The shares you own may be worth more or less upon redemption.

 


A new way to look at your investments

To make it easier for investors to get meaningful information about their investments, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued new rules regarding financial reporting. The SEC has also required additional information about expenses and their effect on investment returns and about proxy voting policies and procedures. This is our first report to follow these new rules.

     Beginning with this performance period, annual and semiannual reports will now list each fund’s 50 largest holdings, as well as any other holding that constitutes 1% or more of a fund’s investment portfolio. These are the holdings most likely to affect your investment results. We will continue to file a complete list of holdings with the SEC, and this will now be done on a quarterly basis, rather than semiannually, as in the past. To access this information easily, please see page 4.

     This semiannual report also contains a more detailed explanation of our funds’ expense charges, including examples that enable you to compare our expenses with those of any other U.S. variable annuities and mutual funds. Long before expenses made headlines, TIAA-CREF urged investors to consider the effect of expenses, particularly over long periods of time. Please see page 6 for details.

     As always, you should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of any fund before investing. Please visit the Web Center or call 800 223-1200 for a prospectus that contains this and other important information. Read it carefully before investing.

     Please remember that, by signing up for e-delivery of these reports at our Web Center, you can get your financial information more quickly—and in an electronic format that can be easily archived for future reference.

Report on TIAA-CREF Life Funds

This report contains the performance and financial statements for the TIAA-CREF Life Funds for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The variable accounts of the Personal Annuity Select, the Lifetime Variable Select Annuities, the Single Premium Immediate Annuities, and the Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life policies invest in these funds.

     During the first six months of 2004, rising stock prices lost momentum after a period of extraordinary gains. In 2003 the Russell 3000® Index, which tracks the broad U.S. stock market, was up 31.06%. The MSCI World IndexSM, which tracks stocks in 23 nations, soared 33.11%.

     As of June 30 this year, the Russell’s return for 2004 was 3.59%, while the World Index posted a gain of 3.52%. Both six-month returns are the equivalent of an annual gain of more than 7%.

     Many factors contributed to this moderation in prices. Higher valuations made some stocks less attractive to investors. At the same time, higher interest rates and more expensive petroleum posed a threat to the U.S. recovery, and, in turn, to world trade.

     We know that investors are concerned about volatility in the markets and with good reason. During the three-year period that ended on December 31, 2003, the Russell 3000 posted annual returns of -11.46%, -21.54%, and 31.06%, sequentially. Performance in the bond market varied widely, too, during the years 2001- 2003, with returns of 8.44%, 10.26%, and 4.10% as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.

     Returns over a longer time frame, the 20 years from 1984 to 2003, show that a high level of volatility persisted.

(PHOTO OF SCOTT C. EVANS)

The gray bars in the chart show the average annual return of the Russell 3000 in the four consecutive five-year periods from 1984 to 2003. Even over those longer periods, average annual returns for U.S. stocks ranged widely, from 0.37% to 22.26%.

     As TIAA-CREF has long maintained, diversification is the best tool for reducing the effects of market swings like this, although diversification does not guarantee against losses. A combination of U.S. stocks, foreign stocks, and bonds over the same periods produced a far more stable rate of return, ranging from 2.97% to 16.57%. In technical terms, the standard deviation of the combined portfolio was 11.70%, while that of stocks was a much higher 17.05%. And, over the entire 20-year period, the extra risk of a 100% allocation to U.S. equities would have earned an investor 0.90 percentage points more per year—at the cost of far greater volatility.

     Of course, no single asset allocation formula is right for everyone. Finding the best mix depends on many factors, including an investor’s age, time frame, other assets, and his or her attitude toward risk. At the TIAA-CREF Web Center (www.tiaa-cref.org), you can find a feature entitled “Investing Today,” which can help you find the right mix for your situation. Just use the “Publications” link at the top of our home page.

     The following pages provide a detailed explanation of how the TIAA-CREF Life Funds performed during the first half of 2004. Our equity funds were affected by the worldwide moderation in stock prices during the period. Returns ranged from 2.10% for the Growth Equity Fund to 7.34% for the Small-Cap Equity Fund. In a very tight fixed-income market, both the Bond Fund, up 0.61%, and the Money Market Fund, which gained 0.52%, topped their benchmarks.

     While recent investment results in many asset classes have been lackluster or disappointing, we continue to seek out new opportunities in every market in which we invest.

Important Information about Expenses

D I S C L O S U R E

Shareholders in the TIAA-CREF Life 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 and other fund expenses.

     The TIAA-CREF Life Funds are the underlying investment vehicles for certain variable insurance and variable life contracts issued by TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company. These contracts have additional administrative expense fees and mortality and expense risk charges. Because of these additional deductions, the costs to investors will be higher than the figures shown in the expense examples.

     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 funds.

     The examples assume $1,000 was invested on December 31, 2003, and held for six months until June 30, 2004.

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 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 this 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 and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year 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 funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Growth Equity Fund      Large-Cap Growth Stocks

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Growth Equity Fund returned 2.10% for the period, compared with 2.74% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, and the 2.42% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Growth category.

Stocks post small gains

After surging 29.75% in 2003, the large-cap stocks of the Russell 1000 Growth Index delivered only 0.79% in the first quarter of 2004 and 1.94% in the second. Its modest 2.74% six-month return trailed that of its value counterpart, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which gained 3.94%, following a 30.03% increase in 2003.

     The overall U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, rose 3.59% during the first half of the year. Its advance was led by the solid gains of the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, up 6.76%, and the Russell Midcap® Index, up 6.67%. (These two indexes are subsets of the Russell 3000.)

Fund contributors and detractors

The fund lagged its benchmark because of a number of stock selections that did not perform as anticipated. These included media giant Clear Channel Communications, software provider Intuit, and Novellus Systems, which manufactures parts for microprocessor makers. The fund had larger weightings of these stocks than the benchmark. Underweight holdings that included Yahoo, biotechnology company Biogen Idec, and AT&T Wireless also detracted from performance.

     These detractors were partly offset by positive contributions to relative performance from holdings such as online auctioneer eBay, Starwood Hotels, and St. Jude Medical, which makes heart valves and other surgical implants. The fund had larger weightings of these stocks than the benchmark. The fund also benefited from a holding in Monsanto, which is not included in the benchmark index, and from its below-benchmark weightings in firms such as Intel, the microprocessor maker; global media conglomerate Viacom; and Applied Materials, a supplier of products and services for semiconductor companies.

     The fund invested 3.88% of its total invested assets in foreign securities as of June 30, 2004. (Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes. Also, due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks.)

Growth Equity Fund      Large-Cap Growth Stocks

Investment Objective

The Fund’s Benchmark

The Russell 1000® Growth Index is a subset of the Russell 1000 Index, which tracks the stocks of large domestic companies, based on total market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Growth Index represents those stocks of the Russell 1000 with higher price-to-book ratios and higher relative forecasted growth rates. Both indexes are weighted by market capitalization, meaning that the larger the security, the greater the effect of its return on the return of the index as a whole. You cannot invest directly in these indexes.

Fund Expenses

The expense examples that appear below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each fund. They are also designed to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. (The costs shown do not reflect any separate account fees or expenses deducted under the variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts using the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. If those fees or expenses were included, the costs would be higher.)

     The examples assume $1,000 was invested on December 31, 2003, and held for six months until June 30, 2004. Please see page 6 for a full description of the assumptions on which these examples are based and an explanation of how you can use this expense information.

  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,023.78   $ 1.22  


  Expenses Paid is based on the fund’s actual expense ratio of 0.12% for the period. This was converted into dollars and cents by the following process: the ratio was annualized, multiplied by the average fund value during the period, and then multiplied by 182/366, the number of days in the first half of 2004.
 
  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.

Growth & Income Fund      Large-Cap, Dividend-Paying Stocks

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Growth & Income Fund returned 2.64% for the period, compared with 3.44% for the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, and the 2.78% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

S&P 500 trails the broad market

After rising 28.68% in 2003, the large-cap stocks of the S&P 500 returned 1.69% in the first quarter of 2004 and 1.72% in the second. The Russell 3000® Index, which tracks domestic stocks of all sizes, had quarterly returns of 2.23% and 1.33% and posted a six-month gain of 3.59%. The Russell 3000 slightly outperformed the S&P 500 because of the solid gains of the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, up 6.76%, and the Russell Midcap® Index, up 6.67%. (These two indexes are subsets of the Russell 3000.)

Reasons for underperformance

The fund’s return trailed the benchmark’s because of several overweight holdings in companies that underperformed the index. Among these were Novellus, which manufactures parts for microprocessors, and Cisco Systems. Holdings in several stocks not listed in the index, including software provider Bea Systems and Canadian National Railway, also detracted from returns, as did below-benchmark weightings in several well-performing stocks such as General Electric and Yahoo.

     Positive contributions to relative performance came from overweight holdings such as Monsanto, PepsiCo, and St. Jude Medical, which makes heart valves and other surgical implants. The fund also benefited by selecting strong performers that did not appear in the benchmark, including French utilities operator Vinci and Royal Caribbean Cruises. Below-benchmark weightings in underperforming firms such as Intel and Hewlett Packard also helped relative performance.

     The fund invested 1.46% of its total invested assets in foreign securities as of June 30, 2004. (Please note that investing in foreign securities presents certain risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes. Also, due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks.)

International Equity Fund Foreign Stocks

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The International Equity Fund returned 5.36% for the period, outperforming both the 4.56% return of the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley EAFE® Index, and the 3.12% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category.

Foreign stock prices level off

In the first quarter, the EAFE’s results were driven by a 15.14% surge in its Japan component. European results were much weaker: British stocks, the best-performing in Europe, gained only 1.81%, and the EAFE returned 4.34% for the quarter.

     Second-quarter gains were constrained by relatively high valuations and by worries about rising interest rates. Even so, the EAFE advanced 2.41%, as denominated in local currencies, versus the 1.33% return of the Russell 3000® Index, a broad measure of the U.S. stock market. With the pound, the euro, and the yen all down against the dollar, however, the EAFE’s second-quarter gain was trimmed to 0.22% in dollar terms.

Stock selections beat the benchmark

The fund’s returns exceeded the benchmark’s because of successful stock selection in both the European and Asia-Pacific regions.

     The European segment benefited from holdings such as Reckitt Benckiser, a British consumer products company; Nobel Biocare Holding, a Swedish dental implant company; and Puma, a German athletic goods manufacturer. Detractors from relative performance included holdings in British food service company Compass Group and Swiss temporary help company Adecco.

     Relative performance in the Asia-Pacific segment was helped by several Japanese holdings, including internet software company Access and financial services company Orient, two firms that did not appear in the EAFE Index as of June 30. The fund also benefited from underweight positions in companies such as telecommunications company NTT DoCoMo and overweight holdings in such firms as Daido Life Insurance Company.

     Detractors from relative performance included underweight holdings in companies such as Mizuho Financial Group, and overweight positions in firms such as Shin-Etsu Chemical and Shinsei Bank. These three companies are based in Japan.

     (Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes.)

Stock Index Fund      U.S. Stocks

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Stock Index Fund gained 3.59% for the period, matching the 3.59% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, and topping the 2.78% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

Stocks slow down

Stocks delivered double-digit returns in the fourth quarter of 2003, but then their prices began to moderate. During the first quarter of 2004, the Russell 3000 gained 2.23%, a modest appreciation that masked a highly volatile trading period. Persistently high unemployment numbers slowed the advance, and the market was jolted in March by the Madrid bombing.

     In the second quarter, the Russell 3000 added only 1.33% despite plenty of positive economic news, which included surging corporate profits, record home sales, and rising employment numbers. However, fears of terrorism, worries over the handover of power in Iraq, and concerns about rising interest rates tempered returns. The benchmark’s return for the first half of 2004 trailed the 4.56% gain of the Morgan Stanley EAFE® Index, which tracks stocks in Europe and the Pacific region, including Australia and New Zealand.

Value stocks and small caps performed best

For the six-month period, value stocks outperformed growth stocks. The Russell 3000 Value Index, which tracks value stocks of all sizes, gained 4.23%, while its growth counterpart, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, returned 2.96%. Across companies of various sizes, the small-cap stocks of the Russell 2000® Index increased 6.76%, edging out the Russell Midcap® Index, up 6.67%, and more than doubling the return of the predominantly large-cap Russell 1000® Index, up 3.33%.

     Within the benchmark Russell 3000, industry segment returns ranged from 19.8% for non-petroleum energy companies to -1.7% for the technology sector.

     (Although the Stock Index Fund attempts to track closely the investment performance of its benchmark index, it does not duplicate the composition of that index. Also, the fund’s performance, unlike that of its index, is affected by investment and other operating expenses. There is no guarantee that the performance of the fund will match that of its index for any period of time.)

Social Choice Equity Fund      Socially Screened Stocks

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Social Choice Equity Fund returned 4.66% for the period, outperforming both the 3.59% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, and the 2.78% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category. Neither the benchmark nor the Morningstar category screens investments for social criteria, as does the fund.

A boost from screened companies

The fund’s performance benefited from the fact that its social screens excluded several stocks that significantly underperformed the index during the period. Among these were Pfizer, Viacom, and Citigroup. The positive effects of its screens were partly offset by the exclusion of other stocks that did well during the period, including ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco, and General Electric.

Selected holdings adjusted to control risk

Because the social screens prevent the fund from owning some of the stocks in the Russell 3000 Index, the fund’s managers use statistical methods to ensure that the risk characteristics of the portfolio closely track those of the index. One technique is to overweight or underweight certain stocks relative to each one’s size within the Russell 3000.

     During the period, overweight holdings in Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, Illinois Tool Works, and Valero Energy helped relative performance, while an underweight in Bank of America and an overweight in Intel detracted. (Because its social screens exclude some investments, the fund may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as funds that do not use such criteria.)

Large-Cap Value Fund Large-Cap Value

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Large-Cap Value Fund gained 5.00% for the period, topping both the 3.94% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, and the 3.46% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Value category.

Value trumps growth

For the first half of 2004, value stocks as a group outperformed growth stocks, as they did in the last quarter of 2003. The Russell 3000® Value Index, which tracks value stocks of all sizes, advanced 4.23%, while its growth counterpart, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, increased 2.96%.

     Company size, however, continued to matter more than growth-value distinctions. Among value stocks, the 3.94% return of the predominantly large-cap Russell 1000 Value Index trailed both the 7.17% increase in the Russell Midcap® Value Index and the 7.83% rise of the small-cap Russell 2000® Value Index. In general, returns were a far cry from 2003, when large-cap value issues gained 30.03%.

Stock picks beat the benchmark

The fund’s superior performance versus the benchmark during the six-month period resulted from successful stock selection across a variety of industries. Top performers were Monsanto, Aetna, and energy company TXU, all of which outperformed the benchmark. Returns were helped by investments in companies not included in the index as of June 30, such as retailers American Eagle Outfitters and Talbots.

     The positive effect of those holdings was partly offset by positions in companies such as network storage producer Emulex and Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris. The fund had larger weightings of these stocks than the benchmark, and they did not perform as anticipated. Several underweight positions, including AT&T Wireless and Motorola, also detracted from returns, as did a number of holdings outside the index, such as business software maker Manugistics and home mortgage provider Fannie Mae.

     The fund invested 2.18% of its total invested assets in foreign securities. (Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes. Also, the fund is subject to style risk in that value investing may fall out of favor with investors.)

The Fund’s Benchmark

The Russell 1000® Value Index is a subset of the Russell 1000 Index, which tracks the stocks of large domestic companies, based on total market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Value Index represents those stocks of the Russell 1000 with lower price-to-book ratios and lower relative forecasted growth rates.

Small-Cap Equity Fund   Small-Cap Blend

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Small-Cap Equity Fund returned 7.34%, topping the 6.76% return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, and the 7.11% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Small Blend category.

Small caps lead the market

The small-cap stocks tracked by the Russell 2000 outpaced stocks of other cap sizes during the six-month period: the predominantly large-cap Russell 1000® Index rose just 3.33%, and the Russell Midcap® Index returned 6.67%. The Russell 2000 nearly doubled the 3.59% gain of the Russell 3000® Index, which measures the overall domestic stock market.

     Among small caps, value topped growth in both quarters, returning 7.83% for the six-month period, versus the 5.68% return of growth issues. While substantial, none of these gains came near to matching small caps’ extraordinary performance in 2003, when the Russell 2000 surged 47.25%.

Astute stock selection beats the benchmark

The fund’s return topped the benchmark primarily because of successful stock selection across a variety of industries. Top performers during the period included Patina Oil & Gas, Tenneco Automotive, Noven Pharmaceuticals, US Oncology, home builder Champion Enterprises, and Sohu, a network of Chinese Internet sites.

     The positive effect of those holdings was partly offset by lower-than-expected returns from several other stocks including semiconductor designer ESS Technology, customer management firm TeleTech Holdings, and Tower Automotive. Underweight holdings in firms such as OSI Pharmaceuticals and global communications systems equipment supplier Andrew Corporation hampered returns.

     (Please note that small-cap stocks may have limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than large-cap stocks.)

Real Estate Securities Fund   Real Estate

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Real Estate Securities Fund gained 4.83% for the period, trailing the 6.96% return of its benchmark, the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index, and the 5.51% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Specialty Real Estate category.

A turbulent market

During the first half of 2004, the real estate investment trusts (REITs) in which the fund invests experienced a level of volatility unprecedented since the modern REIT era began in 1992. The rally in these securities that began in March 2003 pushed the fund’s benchmark up 52.15% as of March 31, 2004. Much of this upward movement resulted from yield-oriented investors abandoning bonds for REITs.

     A strong jobs report on April 1 sent bond yields climbing, and many investors moved funds out of REITs and into bonds. By May 10, REITs were down more than 17%. The market rebounded during the next seven weeks as bond yields moderated, and the benchmark ended the period off just 4.60% for the second quarter and still positive year to date.

The fund takes a defensive stance

Despite the strong performance in REITs through the first quarter, fundamental factors in the real estate industry remained weak, with vacancy rates relatively high in many sectors. With this in mind, the fund’s managers took defensive positions, including greater exposure to preferred stocks and investments in properties with shorter lease terms. This strategy worked well during the initial plunge in REITs prices, and the fund led the index by two percentage points on May 10.

     However, when the market bounced back sooner than expected, this defensive stance kept the fund from matching the full upswing in the benchmark. In addition, the fund had overweight positions, relative to the benchmark, in the underperforming retail and health care sectors. During the rebound of May and June, the best returns came from the apartment and office sectors, in which the fund had underweight holdings.

     Throughout the period, the fund maintained a portfolio broadly diversified among nine real estate sectors and across all three cap sizes. (The Real Estate Securities Fund, however, is not diversified by sector, and this concentration can lead to greater price volatility. The real estate industry is subject to various risks, including fluctuations in underlying property values, higher expenses or lower income than expected, and potential environmental problems and liability.)

Bond Fund   Intermediate-Term Bonds

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Bond Fund returned 0.61% for the period, far outpacing the 0.15% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, and the -0.17% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category.

     Investor demand for bonds increased in the first quarter, as momentum from last year’s stock market rally slowed on news of continued high unemployment. The Lehman index rose 2.66%.

     By the second quarter, reports of greater jobs growth, plus a substantial rise in the Consumer Price Index, convinced many bond investors that the economy was heating up. Bond yields rose, sending bond prices—which move inversely to yields—downward. In one of its worst quarters in a decade, the Lehman index sank 2.44%.

TIPS overtake corporate bonds

Demand for U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) increased during the period, and they outperformed all other fixed-income sectors, including corporate bonds, which had produced the best returns during 2003. The performance of lower-quality issues (triple-B-rated) and mortgage- and asset-backed securities remained positive. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note varied widely, from 4.25% at the start of the year, to 3.82% after three months, to 4.57% by the end of June.

Defensive strategies limit gains

Keeping the fund’s duration close to the benchmark’s helped performance in the first quarter, when interest rates fell. However, a defensive position throughout the period in mortgage-backed securities of shorter duration—our attempt to counter rising interest rates—did not work as anticipated, nor did an overweight position in corporate bonds, which generally perform well in a rising-rate environment.

     The fund’s overall option-adjusted duration—a measure of the portfolio’s sensitivity to interest-rate changes—was 4.36 years as of June 30, 2004, versus 4.77 for the benchmark. Keeping the fund’s duration close to that of the benchmark index helps mitigate the risk that the fund will underperform the index. (Fixed-income investments are subject to a number of risks, including credit risk, current income risk, and interest rate risk. Interest rate increases can cause bond prices to decline.)

Money Market Fund   Cash Equivalents

D I S C U S S I O N

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2004

The Money Market Fund returned 0.52% for the period, topping the 0.26% return of its benchmark, the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report AveragesTM-All Taxable.

     The period began with the short-term federal funds interest rate at a historically low 1%. (This rate is the one commercial U.S. banks charge one another for overnight loans.) Following forecasts of higher jobs growth, February’s employment report disappointed investors; the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged. However, with reports of strong jobs growth in March and April-and other signs as the second quarter progressed that the economy was heating up-the Fed raised the federal funds rate to 1.25% on June 30.

A tight market

During the first quarter, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) curve was relatively flat, and spreads between short-term instruments remained tight. (The LIBOR is the interest rate that banks charge one another to borrow money on the London market and is the most widely used benchmark for short-term interest rates.)

     With the supply of high-quality commercial paper limited (mostly due to regulatory factors), there were few opportunities to exceed benchmark returns during most of the period. However, as a Fed rate increase became more of a certainty during the second quarter, the LIBOR jumped, and supply increased.

Asset allocations add value

Because of the shortage of high-quality offerings, the fund continued to invest fairly heavily in government agency securities, which made up approximately 51% of its holdings. The other 49% of the fund’s holdings was invested in commercial paper, distributed almost equally between corporate and asset-backed securities.

     Anticipating a rate increase, many money managers began favoring securities with shorter maturities. At the end of the second quarter, the fund’s weighted average maturity was 46 days, down from a high of 62 days earlier in the period, and the weighted average maturity of the benchmark was 46 days.

A schedule of investments is available

We have not included a list of the portfolio’s 50 largest holdings in this report because the portfolio contains a large number of relatively small holdings and a summary of them would not provide a representative view of the fund’s investments.

An investment in the Money Market 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.

Fund Expenses

The expense examples that appear below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each fund. They are also designed to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. (The costs shown do not reflect any separate account fees or expenses deducted under the variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts using the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. If those fees or expenses were included, the costs would be higher.)

     The examples assume $1,000 was invested on December 31, 2003, and held for six months until June 30, 2004. Please see page 6 for a full description of the assumptions on which these examples are based and an explanation of how you can use this expense information.

                         
    Money Market Fund Expense Example
    Starting Fund Value   Ending Fund Value   Expenses Paid†
    (12/31/03)
  (6/30/04)
  (1/1/04-6/30/04)
Actual return
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,005.20     $ 0.30  
5% annual hypothetical return
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,024.70‡     $ 0.30  


  Expenses Paid is based on the fund’s actual expense ratio of 0.03% for the period. This was converted into dollars and cents by the following process: the ratio was annualized, multiplied by the average fund value during the period, and then multiplied by 182/366, the number of days in the first half of 2004.
 
  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.

TIAA-CREF Life Funds (the “Funds”) is a Delaware business trust that was organized on August 13, 1998 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 consist of ten series (each referred to as a “Fund”). TIAA-CREF Life Separate Accounts (the “Accounts”), which are registered with the Commission as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act, have various sub-accounts which correspond to and invest in the Funds. The Accounts are separate accounts of TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company (“TIAA-CREF Life”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). The Stock Index Fund commenced operations on December 1, 1988 with a seed money investment by TIAA. The Growth Equity, Growth & Income, International Equity and Social Choice Equity Funds commenced operations on March 1, 2000 with a seed money investment by TIAA. The Large-Cap Value, Small-Cap Equity and Real Estate Securities Funds commenced operations on September 4, 2002 with a seed money investment by TIAA. The Bond and the Money Market Funds commenced operations on July 8, 2003 with a seed money investment by TIAA.

Notes to Financial Statements—(Unaudited) (continued)

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, other than money market instruments, are valued at the most recent bid price or the equivalent quoted yield for such securities (or those of comparable maturity, quality and type). Money market instruments, 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, investments are valued using the amortized cost method. 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. 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. 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 that have a significant effect on their value occur between the time their price is determined and the time a Fund’s net asset value is calculated.

Accounting for Investments. Securities transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Interest income is recorded as earned and includes amortization of discounts and premiums. 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. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Dollar Roll Transactions. Certain of the Funds may enter into dollar rolls in which a Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar securities (same issuer and interest rate and substantially similar maturity) on a specified future date. During the roll period, a Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. Dollar rolls are recorded as financing transactions. Dollar rolls can enhance a Fund’s return by earning a spread between the yield on the underlying securities and short-term interest rates. The use of dollar roll transactions by the Bond Fund results in borrowing, requiring the presentation of a statement of cash flows.

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

2004 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Life Funds      111


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements—(Unaudited) (continued)

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 exchange contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.

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.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. In addition to the normal market risks, this exposes the Funds to the risk that the transaction may not be consummated.

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, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds except for the Money Market Fund which are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds. Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on total investments may include temporary book and tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications among the respective components of net assets.

Federal 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 federal income taxes to the extent that they distribute substantially all taxable income each year and comply with various other Code requirements. At December 31, 2003, the following Funds had capital loss carryovers:

Note 6—Line of Credit

Each of the Funds, except the Bond and Money Market Funds, participate in a $2.25 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 credit facility is borne by the participating accounts and mutual funds. Interest associated with any borrowing under the facility will be charged to the borrowing accounts and mutual funds at rates which are based on the Federal Funds Rate in effect during the time of the borrowing. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, there were no borrowings under this credit facility by the Funds.
