TIAA-CREF FUNDS – Notes to Schedules of Investments (unaudited)

 

Note 1—organization and significant accounting policies

 

TIAA-CREF Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust that was organized on April 15, 1999 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following TIAA-CREF Funds are included in this report: Enhanced Large-Cap Growth Index Fund, Enhanced Large-Cap Value Index Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Large-Cap Growth Fund, Large-Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small-Cap Equity Fund, Small/Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Social Choice Equity Fund, Social Choice Low Carbon Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Enhanced International Equity Index Fund, Global Natural Resources Fund, International Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund, International Small-Cap Equity Fund, Social Choice International Equity Fund, Equity Index Fund, Large-Cap Growth Index Fund, Large-Cap Value Index Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, Small-Cap Blend Index Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund, International Equity Index Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Fund and the International Bond Fund (collectively, the “Funds” or individually, the “Fund”). The International Small-Cap Equity Fund commenced operations on December 9, 2016.

 

The Funds offer their shares, without a sales load, through their principal underwriter, Teachers Personal Investors Services, Inc. (“TPIS”), which is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). Teachers Advisors, LLC (“Advisors”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of TIAA, is registered with the Commission as an investment adviser and provides investment management services for the Funds. The Funds offer up to five share classes, although any one Fund may not necessarily offer all five classes. The Funds may offer Institutional, Advisor, Premier, Retirement and Retail Classes of shares. Each class differs by the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights in matters affecting a single class.

 

The accompanying schedules of investments were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) which may require the use of estimates made by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.

 

Security valuation: The Funds' investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in the valuation of investments note to the schedules of investments.

 

Investment transactions: Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. 

 

Foreign currency transactions and translation: Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

 

Transactions with affiliates: The Funds may purchase or sell investment securities in transactions with affiliated entities under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (“Board”) pursuant to the 1940 Act. These transactions are effected at market rates without incurring broker commissions.

 

Basis for Consolidation: The International Bond Fund is presented on a consolidated basis with the TIAA-CREF International Bond Fund Offshore Limited (“Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the International Bond Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary commenced operations on March 1, 2017 and is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to Regulation S fixed-income securities. Regulation S securities are securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private placement transactions with the Commission pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. The Subsidiary is advised by Advisors and has the same investment objective as the Fund, but unlike the Fund, it may invest in Regulation S securities without limitation. As of July 31, 2017, the net assets of the Subsidiary were $11,621,911 representing 5% of the Fund’s consolidated net assets. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Select financial information related to the Subsidiary is as follows:

 

Total market value of investments  $11,547,683 
Net assets  $11,621,911 
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)  $520,152 

 

New accounting pronouncement: In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the premium amortization period on a purchased callable debt security from the security’s contractual life to the earliest call date. It is anticipated that this change will reduce losses recognized when a security is called on an earlier date. This guidance will not significantly impact the Funds’ financial statements.

 

New rule issuances: In October 2016, the Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10231, Investment Company Reporting Modernization. This final rule modernizes investment company reporting by requiring the filing of new Forms N-PORT and N-CEN, and amends Regulation S-X disclosures related to derivatives and other disclosures in the financial statements and other filings. The requirements of this final rule in relation to Forms N-PORT and N-CEN must be adopted by June 1, 2018, while the amended disclosures must be adopted by August 1, 2017. Management is currently assessing the impact of Forms N-PORT and N-CEN on the Funds’ various filings. The amended S-X disclosures required under this rule will not have an impact on net assets or results of operations but may result in changes to financial statement disclosures.

In October 2016, the Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs. This final rule requires funds to establish a liquidity risk management program and enhances disclosures regarding funds' liquidity. The requirements of this final rule must be adopted by December 1, 2018. Management is currently assessing the impact of this rule to the Funds' financial statements and other filings.

 

In March 2017, the Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 34-80295, Amendment to Securities Transaction Settlement Cycle. This final rule shortens the standard settlement cycle from T+3 to T+2. It is expected that this shortened settlement time will decrease certain risks due to the reduction of unsettled trades and risk exposure. The compliance date for this final rule is September 5, 2017. This rule is not expected to materially impact the Funds' financial statements and other filings.

 

Note 2—valuation of investments

 

Portfolio investments are valued at their estimated fair value utilizing various valuation methods approved by the Board. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes market inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit spreads, etc.)

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

In accordance with ASC 820, certain portfolio investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy. These investments will be disclosed at their fair value to allow reconciliation back to the schedules of investments. As of July 31, 2017, no investments were valued utilizing the practical expedient.

 

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds' major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value follows:

 

Exchange-traded equity securities, common and preferred stock: Equity securities listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their sale price at the official close of business of such market or exchange on the valuation date, or if there is no official close of business, the latest sale price, or at the mean of the latest available bid and asked prices if no sale is reported. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Foreign equity securities are valued at the last sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange where traded and converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the date of valuation. For events affecting the value of foreign securities between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Funds' net assets are calculated, such securities will be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Foreign securities are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Debt securities: Debt securities, including equity-linked notes, will generally be valued using prices provided by a pricing service that 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). Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; in instances where prices, yields or any other key inputs are unobservable, they are categorized as Level 3 of the hierarchy.

 

Investments in registered investment companies: These investments are valued at their NAV on the valuation date. These investments are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Futures contracts: Stock and bond index futures contracts, which are traded on commodity exchanges, are valued at the last sale price as of the close of such commodity exchanges and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Options: Purchased and written options listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of such exchange or at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices if no sale is reported. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

352

TIAA-CREF FUNDS – Notes to Schedules of Investments (unaudited)

 

Forward foreign currency contracts: Forward foreign currency contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

 

Credit default swap contracts: Credit default swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon a price supplied by a pricing service. Credit default swaps are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Total return swap contracts: Total return swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon a price supplied by a pricing service. Total return swaps are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 

 

Any portfolio security for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, the values would be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise they would be categorized as Level 3. 

 

Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. For the period ended July 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between levels by the Funds.

 

As of July 31, 2017, 100% of the value of investments in the International Bond Fund was valued based on Level 2 inputs.

Note 3—derivative instruments

 

As defined by U.S. GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variables. Derivatives require little or no initial investment and permit or require net settlement. The Funds value derivatives at fair value.

 

Futures contracts: Certain Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds use futures contracts to manage exposure to the equity markets and for cash management purposes to remain highly invested in these 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 receipts or payments are settled daily reflecting changes in the value of the futures contracts. 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. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded funds, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Options: Certain Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. To manage the risk, the Funds may invest in both equity and index options. The Funds use options contracts for hedging and cash management purposes and to seek to increase total return. Call and put equity options give the holder the right, in return for a premium paid, to purchase or sell, respectively, a security at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Index options are written or purchased options in which the underlying investment is a specified index. The exercise of an index option will not result in the physical delivery of the underlier, but a cash transfer of the difference between the settlement price of the underlier and the strike price of the option. Purchased options are included in the schedules of investments. Premiums on unexercised, expired options are recorded as realized gains or losses; premiums on exercised options are recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or cost of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid in a closing transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Risks related to the use of options include possible illiquidity of the options markets, and price movements in underlying security values.

Forward foreign currency contracts: Certain Funds are subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds use forward foreign currency contracts (“forwards”), including non-deliverable forwards (“NDFs”), to, among other things, hedge portfolio currency risk and to facilitate transactions in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Forwards are over-the-counter (“OTC”) commitments that involve an obligation to purchase or sell a fixed amount of a specific currency on a future date at a locked exchange rate. NDFs allow hedging of currencies where government regulations restrict foreign access to local currency or the parties want to compensate for risk without a physical exchange of funds. Forwards are marked-to-market daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as appreciation or depreciation. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time the forward is closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Credit default swap contracts: Certain Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Credit default swaps can be settled either directly with the counterparty (bilateral) or through a central clearinghouse (centrally cleared). A credit default swap is a contract between a buyer and a seller of protection against pre-defined credit events for the reference entity. As a seller in a credit default swap contract, the Funds are required to pay an agreed upon amount to the counterparty with the occurrence of a specified credit event, such as certain bankruptcies related to an underlying credit instrument, index, or issuer which would likely result in a loss to the Funds. The agreed upon amount approximates the notional value of the swap and is estimated to be the maximum potential future payment that the Funds could be required to make under the contract. In return, the Funds receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Funds keep the stream of payments with no payment obligations. When the Funds sell a credit default swap contract it will cover its commitment. This may be achieved by, among other methods, maintaining cash or liquid assets in a segregated account equal to the aggregate notional value of the reference entities for all outstanding credit default swap contracts sold by the Funds.

TIAA-CREF FUNDS – Notes to Schedules of Investments (unaudited)

 

Certain Funds may also buy credit default swap contracts, in which case the Funds function as the counterparty referenced above. This involves the risk that the contract may expire worthless. Bilateral swaps involve counterparty risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Funds with the occurrence of a credit event. Centrally cleared swaps have minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds as they are entered into with a central clearinghouse which guarantees the swap against default.

 

Bilateral credit default swaps are valued daily, and any change in the value of the swaps is reflected separately as a change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). For centrally cleared swaps, initial margin deposits are made, and variation margin payments are made or received reflecting daily changes in the value of the swap contract. Under the terms of the credit default swap contracts, the Funds receive or make quarterly payments based on a payment rate on a fixed notional amount. These payments are recorded as a realized gain or loss. Payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses.

 

The Funds invest in credit default swaps to hedge or manage the risks associated with assets held in the Funds and/or to facilitate the implementation of portfolio strategies to seek to increase the total return.

 

As of July 31, 2017, the Funds did not have open credit default swaps.

 

Total return swap contracts: Total return swaps are agreements that provide a Fund with a return based on the performance of an underlying asset, in exchange for fee payments to a counterparty based on a specific rate. To the extent the total return of the reference security or index underlying the total return swap exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Additional risks to the Fund include the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements or that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform. The Fund's maximum loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contract. Certain Funds may invest in total return swap contracts to gain or hedge exposure to the underlying reference assets.

Note 4—affiliated investments

 

Companies in which a Fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting shares are considered “affiliated companies” of the Fund, pursuant to the 1940 Act. As of July 31, 2017, there were no affiliated investments.

 

Note 5—investments

 

Securities lending: Certain Funds may lend their securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. A Fund receives collateral (in the form of cash, Treasury securities or other collateral permitted by applicable law) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities during the period of the loan; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund the next business day. Cash collateral received by the Fund will generally be invested in high-quality short-term instruments or in one or more funds maintained by the securities lending agent ("Agent") for the purpose of investing cash collateral. The value of the loaned securities are reflected in the schedules of investments. As of July 31, 2017, securities lending transactions are for equity securities, and the resulting loans are continuous, can be recalled at any time, and have no set maturity. In lending its securities, a Fund bears the market risk with respect to the investment of collateral and the risk that the Agent may default on its contractual obligations to the Fund. The Agent bears the risk that the borrower may default on its obligation to return the loaned securities as the Agent is contractually obligated to indemnify the Fund if at the time of a default by a borrower some or all of the loan securities have not been returned.

Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis: The Emerging Markets Debt Fund and the International Bond Fund 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.

 

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

 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation): At July 31, 2017, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) based on the aggregate cost of portfolio investments for federal income tax purposes, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation was as follows:
