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.



Due to market volatility, recent performance of the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds may differ from the figures shown in this report. For current performance, visit the TIAA-CREF Web Center at www.tiaa-cref.org, or call 800 842-2252. 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.

With This Report, a New Look

The format of this year's TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds Annual Report is new. While the page size is smaller, the report offers more information about the funds in which you've invested. This smaller size cuts printing costs—savings that benefit all investors.

      We have added new features, including an Investor Insight box with useful information about each fund, and a description of each fund's benchmark. These features respond to requests from investors and are part of our ongoing commitment to communicate clearly about investment performance.

      For your reference, the chart on the facing page shows the performance of all 11 funds. If you need further information, visit the TIAA-CREF Web Center at www.tiaa-cref.org or call us at 800 223-1200. On our Web Center you can also sign up for e-delivery of annual reports. E-delivery allows you to get this information much sooner.

      As always, you should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of any fund before investing. (Unlike many mutual funds, TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds do not contain a sales charge.) Please visit the Web Center for a prospectus that contains this and other important information and read it before investing.

Report to Investors

World stock markets rebounded strongly in 2003. The Morgan Stanley World IndexSM, which tracks stocks in 23 developed markets, soared to a 33.11% gain—its best performance in 17 years. About one-quarter of that advance resulted from the declining value of the dollar against several major currencies.

      The rally was spurred, in part, by signs of economic recovery in the United States and by surging growth in China, both of which improved expectations for growth worldwide. In the United States, the Russell 3000® Index, a measure of the broad domestic market, rose 31.06%—the best performance by the index since 1997. With prospects brightening, U.S. investors showed renewed confidence, and long-term mutual funds registered inflows of capital totaling more than $217 billion. That represented a 79% increase over 2002.

      When stock markets turn sharply upwards, as happened during the second quarter of 2003, TIAA-CREF’s strategy of remaining fully invested at all times enables its portfolios to capture these market gains. Money managers who maintained a cushion of cash holdings found themselves chasing returns as the rally continued and intensified in the fourth quarter.

      The rally in domestic stocks was fueled by improved corporate earnings and higher productivity. The nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an 8.2% rate in the third quarter. Even at half that rate, GDP growth would be above long-term trends in the United States.

Small-Cap Stocks Lead the Way
The advance in U.S. stocks was led by smaller issues: the small-cap Russell 2000® Index jumped 47.25%—its largest one-year increase ever. The Russell Midcap® Index advanced 40.06%, and the Russell 1000®, which consists mostly of large-cap stocks, rose 29.89%. While gains varied widely among companies of different sizes, all 12 Russell industry sectors shared in the rally, with returns ranging from 17.3% for utilities to 50% in the technology sector.

      Our equity funds shared in the broad-based advance by both foreign and domestic stocks, with returns that ranged from 25.83% for the Growth & Income Fund to 40.86% for the International Equity Fund.

Bond Markets Are Buffeted
With the unemployment rate at its highest level since 1994 and a sizable portion of the nation’s productive


Being fully invested at all times means the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds’ portfolios capture the market’s gains.

2     2003 Annual Report TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds


capacity still idle, the Federal Reserve Board cut short-term rates in June to their lowest levels in 45 years and kept them there through December. Reflecting this action, the 10-year Treasury rate dropped to 3.11% in June but climbed back to 4.25% by year’s end. That increase in longer-term rates constrained returns in the fixed-income markets. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which tracks corporate, government, and asset-backed bonds, returned 4.10% for the year, after posting a return of 10.26% in 2002.

      All four of our fixed-income funds outpaced their benchmarks, a noteworthy achievement in a year of high volatility in the bond markets. Their returns varied from 3.51% for the Short-Term Bond Fund to 23.24% for the High-Yield Bond Fund.

     Historically, low short-term interest rates have reduced money market yields, but the Money Market Fund was able to add value above that of its benchmark by allocating assets successfully and maintaining low expenses. This report provides details of each fund’s holdings and performance as of December 31, 2003.

      The six new funds that we launched in October 2002 now have a full year’s performance behind them. They are offered to individual investors through the Retail Class of the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds and, in conjunction with our other funds, provide coverage across company sizes and styles. (A full description of each fund appears in the joint prospectus that you received in the mail recently.) Up-to-date returns for all of our funds can be found 24 hours a day at our Web Center (www.tiaa-cref.org) or by phoning 800 842-2252.

      As always, we urge you to consider the benefits of a well-diversified portfolio, positioned to take advantage of upward market movements, wherever they may occur.

TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds 2003 Annual Report     3


International Equity Fund   Foreign Stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003
The International Equity Fund gained 40.86% for the year, outperforming both the 38.59% return of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index, and the 33.32% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category.

Foreign Stocks Soar in 2003
Foreign stocks got off to a rocky start in 2003; the EAFE Index lost 8.21% in the first quarter. However, despite the sluggish global economy, foreign markets soared 19.27% in the second quarter. The EAFE Index gained an additional 8.13% in the third quarter as renewed vigor in the United States helped increase exports of the nation’s trading partners. During the final three months, the index soared 17.08%. (Please note that investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes.)

Superior Stock Selections
Help the Fund Top the Benchmark
The fund’s performance exceeded the benchmark’s as a result of individual stock selections in both the European and Asia-Pacific regions. In the European segment, relative performance benefited from holdings such as the Netherlands’ ASM Lithography, Swiss testing company Surveillance S.A., and German athletic apparel manufacturer Puma. These strong positive effects more than offset the underperforming positions in firms that included Swiss biotechnology company Lonza AG, British consumer products company Reckitt Benckiser, and Finnish mobile communications company Nokia.

      In the Asia-Pacific region, positive performance, relative to the benchmark, benefited from selections that included two Japanese companies: technology firm Advantest and computer printer manufacturer Seiko Epson. An underweight position in Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial also helped returns. These contributors more than offset such detractors as Japanese firms Sony and Takeda Chemical Industries, a drug manufacturer. Also detracting from performance was an underweight position in Japanese bank holding company UFJ Holdings.

The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE® (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index tracks the performance of stocks in developed countries around the world, excluding the United States and Canada. The index is 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.


International funds invest in stocks outside the United States. Global funds can invest in stocks anywhere in the world, including the United States.

Growth Equity Fund   Large Cap Growth Stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Growth Equity Fund gained 28.06% for the year, compared with 29.75% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, and the 28.55% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Growth category.

Growth and Value: Neck and Neck
The large-cap growth stocks of the Russell 1000 Growth Index rebounded powerfully in 2003, but their return slightly trailed the 30.03% gain of the predominantly large-cap Russell 1000 Value Index. This marked the fourth year in a row that growth stocks trailed value stocks, as measured by Russell. (In the years 1996–1999, however, growth beat value three out of four times.)

     Both large-cap indexes underperformed the broad domestic market as represented by the Russell 3000® Index, which advanced 31.06%. The gain of the Russell 3000 was boosted by the extraordinary returns of 48.54% for small-cap growth stocks and 42.71% for mid-cap growth stocks, as measured by their respective Russell indexes. (Small- and mid-cap stocks may have limited marketability and may be
subject to more abrupt or erratic movements than large-cap stocks.

Fund Contributors and Detractors
The fund had a strong year but lagged its benchmark because of a number of stock selections that did not perform as anticipated. These included Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, PepsiCo, and Amylin Pharmaceuticals. The fund had larger weightings of these stocks than the benchmark. (Foreign stocks are subject to additional risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation.) Underweight holdings that
included General Electric and Microsoft also detracted from performance.

     Positive contributions to relative performance came from holdings such as Cisco Systems, Boston Scientific, Texas Instruments, and SAP AG, a German-based leader in business-to-business software. The fund had larger weightings of these stocks than the benchmark. The fund also benefited from its below-benchmark weightings in firms that included Kohl’s department stores, and health care companies HCA and Eli Lilly.

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.

“Growth” companies tend to have higher-than-average rates of growth in sales or earnings. Their stocks typically also have higher prices than other stocks, relative to their earnings per share.

Growth & Income Fund   Large Cap, Dividend-Paying Stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Growth & Income Fund posted a return of 25.83% for the year, compared with 28.68% for its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, and the 26.72% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

Large-Cap Stocks Rebound After a Slow Start
After three consecutive years of negative returns, the large-cap stocks of the S&P 500 Index lost an additional 3.15% in the first quarter of 2003. But a combination of measures designed to stimulate the economy, including a reduction of short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve in June and a round of tax cuts, coupled with increasing consumer confidence, helped spark a rally that started during the second quarter and lasted through year-end. All ten sectors of the S&P 500 advanced for the year, with eight generating double-digit returns. The highest gains came from the information technology sector, which rose 46.55%. The weakest sector was telecommunications, which returned only 3.28%.

Fund Contributors and Detractors
The fund had a strong year but lagged its benchmark because a number of stock selections did not perform as anticipated. These included above-benchmark holdings in Pepsi Bottling Group, software company Oracle, Verizon Communications, and Level 3 Communications. Underweight holdings that included Tyco International and health care company Baxter Interna-tional also detracted from performance versus the benchmark.

     Positive contributions to relative performance came from such holdings as software company Symantec, HMO Aetna, accessories retailer Coach, and auto safety company Autoliv. Below-benchmark weightings in companies such as SBC Communications and Time Warner also boosted returns.

     The fund had 3.52% of its net assets in foreign securities as of December 31, 2003. (Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations and political and economic changes.)

The Fund’s Benchmark
The S&P 500® Index tracks the stocks of the 500 largest companies in the United States, in terms of market capitalization. The index is weighted, meaning that the larger the security, the greater the effect of its return on the return of the index as a whole.

In selecting stocks to overweight in this portfolio, the fund’s managers look for stocks that are well priced, show growth potential, and provide a stream of dividend income.

Equity Index Fund   U.S. Stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003
The Equity Index Fund gained 30.67% for the year, closely tracking the 31.06% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, but surpassing the 26.72% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

After a Slow Start, Stocks Surge
Stock prices lost ground in the first quarter, when the Russell 3000 declined 3.04%, but the index jumped 16.24% in the second quarter—its largest quarterly advance since 1998—and rose another 3.43%
in the third quarter.

     At the end of September, some market observers worried that investor confidence might be shaken by the numerous scandals in the mutual fund industry. There was also concern that stocks had risen too quickly, making a correction seem possible. Both fears turned out to be unfounded. While investors did pull money out of the fund families that were tarred by the scandals, the benchmark gained an additional 12.43% in the fourth quarter, ending three consecutive years of negative returns in the U.S. equity market.

Small Caps Lead the Way
Within the benchmark Russell 3000, every industry segment shared in the year’s advance, with gains ranging from 17.30% in the utilities sector to 50.00% among technology stocks. Investors, however, showed a clear preference for small caps: the Russell 2000® Index, which tracks the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000, gained a record 47.25%. Mid-cap stocks also performed superbly, gaining 40.06%, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index. (Small- and mid-cap stocks have limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements than large-cap stocks.) The predominantly large-cap Russell 1000® Index returned 29.89%. There was little difference between growth and value issues, with the Russell 3000 Value Index up 31.14% and the Russell 3000 Growth Index just behind it with a 30.97% return.

     An indexed portfolio seeks to match the risk/return profile of its benchmark in order to produce an equivalent return. Differences between the return of the portfolio and that of the benchmark are caused by the deviations in their respective compositions during the period, some of which are the inevitable result of the fund’s cash flows. The return of the fund is determined by the performance of the portfolio minus an expense charge, which the return of the benchmark does not include.

The Fund’s Benchmark
The Russell 3000® Index is an unmanaged index of stocks of the 3,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies, based on total market capitalization, and represents about 98% of the publicly traded U.S. equity market. The index is 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.

This fund uses an index strategy exclusively. Many of our other equity funds use active stock selection along with quantitative techniques to control risk.

Social Choice Equity Fund   Socially Screened Stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Social Choice Equity Fund returned 29.87% for the year, compared with the 31.06% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. It strongly outperformed the 26.72% 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.

Excluded Stocks Affect Performance
The fund’s social screens helped its performance relative to the Russell 3000 by excluding several stocks that significantly underperformed the index. These stocks included Pfizer, Wal-Mart, and ExxonMobil. The positive effects of the screens were more than offset by the screens’ exclusion of several well-performing stocks. Among these were Citigroup and Genentech, which is owned by Roche Holdings.

Managing Risk
Because the social screens prevent the fund’s owning some of the stocks in the Russell 3000 Index, the fund’s managers use statistical techniques to ensure that the risk characteristics of the portfolio closely resemble those of the index. The result was overweight holdings, relative to the benchmark, in several stocks that underperformed the index and detracted from relative performance, including Merck and Johnson & Johnson. The negative effects of these holdings were partly offset by positions in such stocks as Intel and FleetBoston, which outperformed the index and enhanced relative performance. (Note: Because its social criteria exclude some investments, the fund may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as do funds that do not use such criteria.)

Managed Allocation Fund   Stocks and Bonds

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Managed Allocation Fund posted a return of 22.45% for the year, outperforming the 21.18% return for its benchmark, the Managed Allocation Composite Index. On May 1, 2003, the Russell 3000® Index replaced the S&P 500® Index as the domestic stock component of the Composite Index. The average return for similar funds for the year was 20.06%, as measured by the Morningstar Moderate Allocation category.

Strong Underlying Fund Performance
During the year, there were no changes in the fund’s 60%/40% target allocation ratio of equity to fixed-income investments. However, on May 5, 2003, we reallocated a portion of the fund’s domestic equity exposure by replacing the Growth & Income Fund with investments in the Large-Cap Value and Small-Cap Equity Funds that are offered through the Retail Class of the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds. The Growth Equity Fund continues to constitute the substantial remainder of the fund’s domestic equity component.

     The fund’s performance exceeded its benchmark’s largely because of continued strong relative performance by the Bond Plus Fund and successful stock selections by the Large-Cap Value Fund and the International Equity Fund. A slight tilt toward equities despite frequent rebalancing also boosted performance. These positive contributions more than offset the relative underperformance of the Growth Equity and Equity Index Funds.

     The fund’s asset allocation at year’s end, shown in the Asset Allocation table following, differed slightly from the current target allocation because of fluctuations in the value of the securities in which the funds invest.

2003 Actual Expense Charge   0.39%

Deciding how to allocate funds among different kinds of investments is a challenging task. This fund gives investors the opportunity to have professional money managers make those choices for them.

The Fund’s Benchmark
The fund’s benchmark is a composite index, a weighted average of the benchmarks of the individual funds that the Managed Allocation Fund invests in. Therefore, the effect of a given benchmark on the return of the composite index depends on the weighting of that fund in the portfolio.

About the Fund’s Expenses
The Managed Allocation Fund operates at a zero expense ratio because the fund advisor does not receive a management fee for its services to the fund and has agreed to be responsible for providing the services reasonably necessary for the ordinary operations of the fund. Shareholders indirectly bear their pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the funds in which the Managed Allocation Fund invests. Based on the fund’s allocations during 2003, the expense ratio was 0.39% for the year.

High-Yield Bond Fund   High-Yield Bonds

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The High-Yield Bond Fund returned 23.24% for the year, outperforming the 22.78% return of its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch BB/B Cash Pay Issuer Constrained Index, and underperforming the 24.07% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar High-Yield Bond category.

     It was a strong year for the fund and for the high-yield bond market as a whole. Given investors’ overall confidence in the economy, their search for yield, and their quest for a relatively safe haven from rising interest rates, there was a strong demand for the high-yield bond asset class throughout the year. (Please note that high-yield bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility than U.S. government and other high-quality bonds. Investing in non-investment-grade securities presents special risks, including significantly higher credit risk.)

     High-yield bond mutual funds had record inflows in 2003, totaling $32.79 billion. Record demand for high-yield bonds in the year was met with record supply, with $141 billion of high-yield bonds issued. Capital expenditures by corporations remained relatively low, and there was limited leveraged buy-out activity. The primary reason companies issued high-yield bonds during 2003 was to refinance debt, with companies that were closest to defaulting on their existing debt benefiting most from this ability. This availability of capital for distressed companies was a significant factor in the decline in the high-yield bond default rate from 7.3% at the end of 2002 to 5.4% at the close of 2003, according to Moody’s.

 

The Market Rewards Risk

The best returns were provided by the riskier end of the market, e.g., B- and C-rated securities, with C-rated securities delivering a 53.96% return. Among the industry sectors, those industries with the most distressed debt at the beginning of the year, such as electric utilities and power generators, gas pipelines, and cable television, led the market higher in 2003. A primary factor in the fund’s outperforming the benchmark was an overweight position relative to the benchmark in cable television, including holdings in Adelphia Communications, Charter Communications, and Insight Communications. Other significant positive factors in the fund’s perfor-mance included holdings in Advanstar, EMI Group, Mail-Well, and Von Hoffman. Factors that detracted from the fund’s performance during the year included an underweight portfolio position in the hotel industry and underperforming company selections in the portfolio’s health care sector.

The Fund’s Benchmark

The Merrill Lynch BB/B Cash Pay Issuer Constrained Index tracks the performance of bond securities that pay interest in cash and have a credit rating of BB or B. Merrill Lynch uses a composite of Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s credit ratings in selecting bonds for this index. These ratings measure the risk that the bond issuer will fail to pay interest promptly, 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.

One of the ways the fund’s managers control risk is to ensure that the fund’s holdings are diversified by industry, geographic region, maturity date, duration, and credit quality.

Short-Term Bond Fund     Short-Term Bonds

 

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Short-Term Bond Fund returned 3.51% for the year, outpacing the 3.35% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government/ Credit 1-5 Year Index, and the 2.39% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category.

     During 2003, stocks outperformed fixed-income investments for the first time since 1999. The year began with rising international tensions and
concerns about deflation; economic growth prospects seemed weak. However, as the year unfolded,
deflation worries subsided, economic prospects brightened, and interest rates rose modestly. The yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury note was 1.82% at year-end—an increase of 0.22 percentage points during the 12–month period.

Corporate Bonds Lead the Market

The corporate sector was the star performer in the bond market during 2003. Lower-quality bonds (triple-B-rated) posted higher returns than top-rated corporate debt (double-A), as investors continued to purchase the highest-yielding securities and companies’ bottom-line results improved. U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) posted another year of solid performance, primarily because of increased demand from investors new to the asset class and because of concerns that inflation would increase as economic growth accelerated.

Maintaining Credit Quality

The fund outpaced its benchmark on the strength of successful allocations among different kinds of bonds. Throughout the year, it maintained a modest overweight in corporate securities focused primarily in the automotive, telecom, cable, and utilities sectors. Additional contributions to performance came from the fund’s substantial holdings in TIPS during the first quarter. (These are not included in the benchmark.)

The Fund’s Benchmark

The Lehman Brothers U.S. Govt./Credit 1-5 Year Index tracks the performance primarily of U.S. Treasury and agency securities and corporate bonds with 1-5 year maturities.

While short-term bond funds generally produce lower yields than the overall bond market, their returns are less
affected by changes in interest rates.

Tax-Exempt Bond Fund   Tax-Exempt Bonds

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund returned 5.87%, outperforming the 5.70% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index, and substantially outperforming the 4.88% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Municipal National Long category.

     During 2003, an improving economy and rising longer-term interest rates led to weaker performance in the municipal bond market than in 2002, but rates of return still compared favorably to those of U.S. Treasury securities. Municipal bond yields declined over the year, and Treasury yields rose. Since declining yields produce higher prices for bonds, this allowed municipals to outperform their taxable counterparts. Overall, long-term interest rates hit bottom in June, but they increased sharply when expected actions by the Fed to keep rates low did not materialize and economic data began to improve. The yield on triple-A-rated 30-year General Obligation bonds, which is considered to be a barometer of the market for municipal bonds, hit a low of 4.20% in June and rose to a high of 5.09% in August; it finished the year at 4.63%.

A Record Year for Munis

Issues in the municipal market set a new record of over $382 billion during 2003, the highest amount ever and a 6.7% increase over 2002. Despite rating downgrades for several major issuers, including California and Michigan, the state sector remained the most creditworthy sector, with approximately 90% of U.S. states carrying credit ratings in Standard & Poor’s two highest rating categories of AA or AAA. Although the first half of the year saw a net positive inflow into municipal bond funds, by year’s end there had been a net outflow of more than $7 billion compared with December 2002.

     The strong relative performance of the fund over the year resulted in part from its positions in issuers such as Texas, New York, Puerto Rico, and Pennsylvania, which have income tax structures or other qualities that often lead them to be traded above or below prevailing general market levels. We believe the fund is well positioned overall, with substantial holdings of non-call, longer-duration bonds that perform very well in a rising market, as well as a core holding of bonds designed to hold their value in a declining market.

The Fund’s Benchmark

The Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of long-term, tax-exempt bonds. These bonds must have a minimum credit rating of Baa and an outstanding par value of at least $5 million, and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million. The index is 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.

 

This fund may not be an appropriate investment for use in a tax-favored product such as IRAs or by investors who are in a low tax bracket.

Bond Plus Fund   Intermediate-Term Bonds

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Bond Plus Fund returned 4.38% for the year, outpacing the 4.10% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, but trailing the 4.92% average return of similar funds, measured by the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category.

     During 2003, stocks outperformed fixed-income investments for the first time since 1999. The year began with rising international tensions and
concerns about deflation; economic growth prospects seemed weak. However, as the year unfolded,
deflation worries subsided, economic prospects brightened, and longer-term interest rates rose modestly. The yield on the five-year U.S. Treasury note was 3.25% at year-end—an increase of about half a percentage point during the 12–month period.

Corporate Bonds Lead the Market

The corporate sector was the star performer in the bond market during 2003. Lower-quality bonds (triple-B-rated) posted higher returns than top-rated corporate debt, as investors continued to purchase the highest-yielding securities and companies’ bottom-line results improved. U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) posted another year of solid performance, primarily because of increased demand from investors new to the asset class and because of concerns that inflation would increase as economic growth accelerated.

Maintaining Credit Quality

The fund outpaced its benchmark on the strength of successful allocations among different kinds of bonds. In order to preserve the fund’s creditworthiness, we did not overweight high-yield bonds. Throughout the year, the fund maintained a modest overweight in corporate securities, focused primarily in the automotive, telecom, cable, and utilities sectors. Additional contributions to performance came from the fund’s substantial holdings in TIPS during the first quarter. (These are not included in the benchmark.) Perfor-mance was also boosted by an
overweight position, during the first half of the year, in mortgage-backed securities. With interest rates stable, these did well because investors
favored higher-yielding liquid assets while international tensions were high and deflation seemed a threat.

     The fund’s option-adjusted duration was 4.62 years as of December 31, 2003, versus 4.50 for the benchmark. Keeping the duration of the fund’s holdings close to that of the benchmark helps mitigate risk by ensuring that the fund’s performance closely tracks that of the index.

About Duration

Duration indicates the sensitivity of a bond to changes in interest rates and is measured in years: the lower the duration, the lower the bond's potential volatility. In order to minimize risk, we seek to keep the fund's average duration similar to the benchmark's.

The Fund’s Benchmark

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index tracks the performance of the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market, including government and agency securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

DISCUSSION

Performance in the Twelve Months
Ended December 31, 2003

The Money Market Fund returned 0.93% for the year, outperforming the 0.63% return of its benchmark, the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report AveragesTM—All Taxable.

     The year began with historically low short-term interest rates and the federal funds rate at a record low of 1.25%. With economic growth lagging, there was the fear that the Federal Reserve would cut the rate to 0.75%. The expected cut came in June, but only as far as 1.00%, where the rate remained through the end of the year. These very low short-term interest rates, accompanied by very low rates in the short-term corporate debt market, depressed returns throughout the money market universe.

Added Value from Asset Allocations

Over the course of the year, the fund’s asset allocation was adjusted to reflect our continuing reassessment of the short-term credit market. Holdings in commercial paper were reduced from 89% at the end of 2002 to 81% at the close of 2003.

     Holdings of U.S. government and agency securities were boosted from 6% to 10%, and bank obligations were increased from 2% to 7%. Floating-rate securities were reduced from 3% to 2%. Together, these
asset allocations enabled the fund to outpace its benchmark.

     During 2003, the fund’s weighted average maturity varied from 45 days to 68 days, reflecting the objective of maintaining an average maturity similar to that of the benchmark. (“Weighted” means that larger holdings have a greater effect on the average.) At year-end, the fund’s weighted average maturity was 59 days, while the benchmark’s was 56 days.

Report of Management Responsibility

To the Shareholders of TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds:

The accompanying financial statements of the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds (the “Funds”) are the responsibility of management. They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been presented fairly and objectively in accordance with such principles.

The Funds have established and maintain a strong system of internal controls and disclosure controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are properly safeguarded and transactions are properly executed in accordance with management’s authorization, and to carry out the ongoing responsibilities of management for reliable financial statements. In addition, the Funds’ internal audit personnel provide a continuing review of the internal controls and operations of the Funds, and the chief audit executive regularly reports to the Audit Committee of the Funds’ Board of Trustees.

The accompanying financial statements have been audited by the independent auditing firm of Ernst & Young LLP. To maintain auditor independence and avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest, it continues to be the Funds’ policy that any management advisory or consulting services be obtained from a firm other than the external financial audit firm. The independent auditor’s report, which follows the notes to financial statements, expresses an independent opinion on the fairness of presentation of these financial statements.

The Audit Committee of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, consisting entirely of trustees who are not officers of the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds, meets regularly with management, representatives of Ernst & Young LLP and internal audit personnel to review matters relating to financial reporting, internal controls and auditing. In addition to the annual audit of the financial statements of the Funds by the independent auditing firm, the Securities and Exchange Commission performs periodic examinations of the Funds’ operations.

Report of the Audit Committee

To the Shareholders of TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds:

The Audit Committee oversees the financial reporting process of TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds (the “Funds”) on behalf of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee operates in accordance with a formal written charter (copies are available upon request) which describes the Audit Committee’s responsibilities. All members of
the Audit Committee (“Committee”) are independent, as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

Management has the primary responsibility for the Funds’ financial statements, development and maintenance of a strong system of internal controls and disclosure controls, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed and approved the audit plans of the internal auditing group and the independent auditing firm in connection with their respective audits of the Funds. The Committee also meets regularly with the internal and independent auditors, both with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluation of internal controls, and the overall quality of financial reporting.

The Committee reviewed and discussed the accompanying audited financial statements with management, including a discussion of the quality and appropriateness of the accounting principles and financial reporting practices followed, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity and completeness of disclosures in the financial statements. The Committee has also discussed the audited financial statements with Ernst & Young LLP, the independent auditing firm responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of these audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The discussion with Ernst & Young LLP focused on their judgments concerning the quality and appropriateness of the accounting principles and financial reporting practices followed by the Funds, the clarity and completeness of the financial statements and related disclosures, and other significant matters, such as any significant changes in accounting policies, internal controls, management judgments and estimates, and the nature of any uncertainties or unusual transactions. In addition, the Committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the auditors’ independence from management and the Funds and has received a written disclosure regarding such independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Committee has approved the release of the accompanying audited financial statements for publication and filing with appropriate regulatory authorities.

TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds (the “Funds”) is a Delaware business trust that was organized on January 13, 1997 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The International Equity, Growth Equity, Growth & Income, Managed Allocation, Bond Plus and Money Market Funds commenced operations on July 17, 1997 with a seed money investment by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (‘’TIAA”). The Equity Index, Social Choice Equity, High-Yield Bond, Short-Term Bond and Tax-Exempt Bond Funds commenced operations on March 1, 2000 with a seed money investment by TIAA. At December 31, 2003, TIAA had a remaining investment in the Social Choice Equity Fund of $4,507,032. The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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, 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 (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, 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. Stock index futures and options, which are traded on commodities exchanges, are valued at the last sale price as of the close of such commodities exchanges. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Portfolio securities may also be valued at fair value as determined in good 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 results in borrowing requiring the presentation of a statement of cash flows for the Bond Plus Fund.

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

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Funds may use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Such contracts are entered into directly with a counterparty and are “marked-to-market” at the end of each day’s trading. The Funds are also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward foreign currency 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 settlement price established each day by 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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.

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, 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 are declared and paid quarterly; for the Growth Equity, International Equity, Social Choice Equity and Equity Index Funds are declared and paid annually; and for the Money Market Fund 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.

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 substantially all taxable income each year and comply with various other Code requirements. At December 31, 2003, the following Funds had capital loss carryovers which will begin to expire in 2008 and capital losses and currency losses realized after October 31, 2003, which were deferred for tax purposes to the first day of the following year:

Note 2—Management Agreement

Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIAA, and a registered investment advisor, provides investment management 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, 2003, Advisors received the following annual percentages of each Fund’s average daily net assets:

    Management Fee

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

 

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

The Funds publicly offer their shares, without a sales load, through their distributor, Teachers Personal Investors Services, Inc. (“TPIS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TIAA, which is a registered broker-dealer and member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

As of December 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings, on a tax basis, were as follows:

      Undistributed Unrealized
    Undistributed Long-Term Appreciation
    Ordinary Income Capital Gain (Depreciation)

International Equity Fund   $122,569   $ —   $ 41,727,416  
Growth Equity Fund       (10,846,966)  
Growth & Income Fund   13,868     30,232,281  
Equity Index Fund       15,222,549  
Social Choice Equity Fund       (6,812,064)  
Managed Allocation Fund   251,386     (11,806,307)  
High-Yield Bond Fund   6,744     13,772,035  
Short-Term Bond Fund   6,053   72,228   2,648,941  
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund   164,011   281,429   4,398,745  
Bond Plus Fund       5,709,269  
Money Market Fund   396      

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation and depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization, for tax purposes, of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies.

Note 6—Lines of Credit

The International Equity, Growth Equity, Growth & Income, Equity Index, Social Choice Equity, Managed Allocation, High-Yield Bond and Tax-Exempt Bond Funds participate in a $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 is 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. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Growth & Income Fund borrowed under this facility. The average daily loan balance during the two day period for which the loan was outstanding amounted to $100 million and the weighted average interest rate was 1.63%. The related interest expense was $9,062. For the year ended December 31, 2003, there were no other borrowings under this credit facility by the Funds.

The Bond Plus Fund participates in a letter of credit agreement in the amount of $2.5 million for the purpose of facilitating the settlement of transactions in the mortgage-backed securities market. For the year ended December 31, 2003, there were no borrowings under this agreement.

Report of Independent Auditors

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

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, of TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds (comprising, respectively, the International Equity, Growth Equity, Growth & Income, Equity Index, Social Choice Equity, Managed Allocation, High-Yield Bond, Short-Term Bond, Tax-Exempt Bond, Bond Plus and Money Market Funds), as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations and cash flows (for the Bond Plus Fund) for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds constituting TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds at December 31, 2003, the results of their operations and cash flows (for the Bond Plus Fund) for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

        The Board of Trustees of the TIAA-CREF  Mutual Funds (the  "Registrant")
had adopted a new code of ethics for senior  financial  officers,  including its
principal executive officer,  principal financial officer,  principal accounting
officer, or controller,  and persons performing similar functions, in conformity
with rules promulgated under the  Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The code of ethics
is filed as an exhibit to this annual report.

        During the reporting period,  there were no implicit or explicit waivers
granted by the Registrant from any provision of the code of ethics.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

        On August 20, 2003, the Board of Trustees of the  Registrant  determined
that  Maceo K.  Sloan  was  qualified  and would  serve as the  audit  committee
financial  expert  on  the  Registrant's  audit  committee.   Mr.  Sloan  is  an
independent  trustee - i.e., he is not an interested person of the Registrant as
defined in the Investment  Company Act of 1940, nor has he accepted  directly or
indirectly  any  consulting,   advisory  or  other  compensatory  fee  from  the
Registrant, other than in his capacity as Trustee.

ITEM 4.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Young for management advisory or consulting services.

        AUDIT FEES. Ernst & Young's fees for professional  services rendered for
the audit of the Registrant's  annual financial  statements for the fiscal years
ended  December  31, 2003 and  December  31, 2002 were  $190,715  and  $201,075,
respectively.

        TAX FEES. Ernst & Young fees for tax services rendered to the Registrant
for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2003 is expected to be $70,479,  and for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, was $69,809.

        ALL OTHER FEES. Ernst & Young fees had no additional fees for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

        PREAPPROVAL  POLICY.  In June of 2003, the Registrant's  audit committee
("Audit  Committee")  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  without  impairing the
auditor's  independence.  Under the Policy,  the Audit  Committee is required to
preapprove  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 statement audit for the Registrant and certain of its affiliates, including approving the terms of the engagement and (ii) preapprove the audit, audit-related and tax services to be provided by the independent auditor and the fees to be charged for provision of such services from year to year. AUDITOR FEES FOR RELATED ENTITIES. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by Ernst & Young for services rendered to the Registrant and its adviser or affiliates of the adviser performing on-going services to the Registrant, including TIAA (Service Providers), for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $247,479 and $234,659, respectively. Ernst & Young's aggregate fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of financial statements for Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("TIAA") and the College Retirement Equities Fund ("CREF") and their affiliated entities were $3,684,508 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $3,167,680 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Ernst & Young's aggregate fees for audit related-services provided to TIAA and CREF and their affiliated entities were $177,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $159,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Ernst & Young's aggregate fees for tax services provided to TIAA and CREF and their affiliated entities were $229,871 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $212,625 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Ernst & Young's aggregate fees for all other services provided to TIAA and CREF and their affiliated entities were $0 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $22,850 for the year ended December 31, 2002. ITEM 9. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. (a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. An evaluation was performed within 90 days from the date hereof under the supervision of the registrant's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the registrant's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were effective for this annual reporting period.
