PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AS OF JUNE 30, 2007

The TIAA-CREF Life Funds serve as investment vehicles for the TIAA-CREF Life Separate Account VA-1 (which offers Personal Annuity Select, Lifetime Variable Select and Single Premium Immediate Annuity contracts) and TIAA-CREF Life Separate Account VLI-1 (which offers the Variable Universal Life and Intelligent Life contracts). The returns of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds shown here do not reflect the administrative expense and the mortality and expense risk charges deducted by the products mentioned above. Because of these additional deductions, the returns on the investment subaccounts offered through the contracts that invest in these funds are lower, for the same periods, than the figures shown here.

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



The returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate. Current performance may be higher or lower than that shown above, and you may have a gain or a loss when you redeem your shares. For current performance information, including performance to the most recent month-end, please visit www.tiaa-cref.org, or call 800 223-1200.



UNDERSTANDING YOUR TIAA-CREF LIFE FUNDS REPORT

This report contains information about the TIAA-CREF Life Funds and describes the funds’ results for the six-month period that ended on June 30, 2007.

          It includes a letter from Edward Grzybowski, the chief investment officer of Teachers Advisors, Inc., the funds’ investment adviser, that explains how returns among various types of investments differed during the period.

          We have revised the report to give you additional information:

 

 

Fund profiles provide key fund statistics at a glance, including the number of holdings and the portfolio turnover rate. For funds that invest in stocks, you will also see price-to-earnings ratios and dividend yields. For the Bond Fund, you will see information about credit quality, yields and maturities.

 

Portfolio composition tables show breakdowns of each fund’s holdings by industry or security type.

          We hope these enhancements will help you find the information you need more quickly so you can manage your investments more easily.

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

REPORT ON THE TIAA-CREF LIFE FUNDS

In the first half of 2007, both U.S. and foreign stocks scored strong gains, but share prices became more volatile. Global markets were jolted in late February by a sudden drop in Chinese stocks. Prices soon rebounded, but heightened volatility returned during the second quarter, as investors worried about the downturn in U.S. home sales and about problems in the credit markets.

          During the six-month period, the Russell 3000® Index, one of the broadest measures of the U.S. stock market, rose 7.1%—just under the 7.6% average annual return of the index over the ten years that ended June 30, 2007. U.S. stocks continued to benefit from gains in corporate profits and moderate economic growth.

 


 

Because stocks recently outperformed fixed-income investments, you may want to review your portfolio to check your asset allocation.

 


          The MSCI EAFE® Index, which tracks 21 stock markets in developed nations outside North America, rose 10.7% in dollar terms. This robust return owed much to the increased value of the euro and pound versus the dollar, as well as to higher corporate profits in Europe. German stocks returned 24.1% in terms of dollars, while French stocks were up 13.0%. The average annual return for the index over the ten-year period was 8.0% in dollar terms.

Bond prices drop as expectations change

The Federal Reserve held short-term interest rates at 5.25% throughout the first half of 2007, keeping the bond market guessing about the future direction of rates. During the first quarter, many investors believed the Fed would cut rates later in the year, and yields on 10-year Treasury notes fell.

          The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures the return of investment-grade bonds, rose 1.5% in the first quarter.

          When hopes of a rate cut faded during the second quarter, 10-year Treasury yields climbed, and the Lehman index posted a 0.5% loss. For the six-month period, the Lehman index returned 1.0%.

Seven funds outperform

During the six-month period, six of the eight TIAA-CREF Life Funds that invest in stocks outperformed their benchmarks. In addition, the Money Market Fund outpaced the industry average.

          Returns ranged from –5.7% for the Real Estate Securities Fund to 14.8% for the International Equity Fund.

          Disappointing returns in the bond market had an adverse effect on the Bond Fund, which returned 0.8%.

          With short-term interest rates on hold since June of 2006, there was little change in the performance of the Money Market Fund. It returned 2.7% for the six-month period, higher than the prevailing money market average, as measured by iMoneyNet.

Have the markets unbalanced your portfolio?

Because stocks recently outperformed fixed-income investments, you may want to review your portfolio’s asset allocation to ensure that your investment strategy stays on track. Many investors rebalance their portfolios once or twice each year, restoring their allocations in each asset class (stocks, bonds and cash) to the levels they originally intended.

          Of course, your objectives may change over time. The right mix of investments depends on your financial needs and time horizon, as well as your attitude toward risk. If you would like help finding the mix that’s best for you, we invite you to visit our website or to call us.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



SPECIAL TERMS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Peer groups are groupings of mutual funds with similar objectives whose performance can be compared with that of an individual mutual fund with a similar objective.

Price/earnings ratio (P/E) is calculated by dividing the market value of a portfolio’s assets by its earnings per share over a twelve-month period.

Portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the market value of securities bought and sold during a given period by the average value of the fund’s assets during that period.

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

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

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

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

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EXPENSES

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.

          The TIAA-CREF Life Funds are the underlying investment vehicles for certain variable life insurance and variable annuity 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 January 1, 2007, and held for six months until June 30, 2007.

Actual expenses

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

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



GROWTH EQUITY FUND LARGE-CAP GROWTH STOCKS

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Growth Equity Fund returned 9.05% for the period, compared with the 8.13% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, and the 8.13% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Growth category.

Large-cap growth overtakes large-cap value

For the six-month period, large-cap growth stocks recorded robust results and outpaced large-cap value issues, which rose 6.23%, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index. All of the outperformance occurred during the second quarter, when large-cap growth stocks advanced 6.86%, versus 4.93% for large-cap value stocks.

          This marked the first time in the past six quarters that the Russell 1000 Growth Index had outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index.

          For the ten years ended June 30, 2007, large-cap growth produced an average annual return of 4.39%—less than half the 9.87% average annual return of large-cap value.

Broad-based advance lifts the index

All twelve sectors of the Russell 1000 Growth Index posted positive returns, including five that registered double-digit gains. The benchmark was boosted by strong performance from its largest sector, technology, which made up more than one-fifth of the benchmark’s market capitalization as of June 30, 2007, and rose 10.0%. Strong contributions from the health care and consumer discretionary sectors also drove the benchmark higher.

          In contrast, the consumer staples and financial sectors posted lackluster returns.

Stock selections push the fund above the benchmark

For the period, the fund topped its benchmark on the strength of numerous successful stock selections. Among the chief contributors were overweight holdings, relative to the benchmark, in Apple and agricultural giant Monsanto. Two positions in nonbenchmark stocks also helped returns: electrical products maker Cooper Industries and Australia’s BHP Billiton, one of the world’s largest mining companies.

          Positions that did not perform as anticipated and adversely affected returns included overweights in semiconductor maker Marvell Technology and International Game Technology.

          On June 30, 2007, foreign securities made up 6.42% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts, which are receipts for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



GROWTH & INCOME FUND LARGE-CAP, DIVIDEND-PAYING STOCKS

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Growth & Income Fund returned 10.84% for the period, compared with the 6.96% gain of its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, and the 7.34% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend category.

Large-caps lag the broad market

During the six-month period, the large-cap stocks of the S&P 500 registered strong results but fell short of the 7.11% gain of the broad-based Russell 3000® Index. The returns of the Russell 3000 were helped by the continued strength of mid-cap stocks, which constituted more than 15% of the Russell index during the period. The S&P 500 included few mid-cap stocks.

          For the ten years ended June 30, 2007, the S&P 500 produced an average annual return of 7.12%—below the 7.61% average annual return of the Russell 3000 over the same period.

Three sectors drive the index

During the six-month period, nine of the ten sectors of the S&P 500 advanced, and four scored double-digit gains. The energy, industrials and information technology sectors, which together made up more than one-third of the benchmark’s total market capitalization on June 30, 2007, led the way, rising 17.2%, 11.0% and 9.3%, respectively.

          The weakest results came from the benchmark’s largest sector, financials, which made up more than one-fifth of the benchmark and fell 0.8% during the period.

Successful stock picks propel the fund above the benchmark

During the period, the fund outpaced its benchmark by nearly four percentage points, largely because several nonbenchmark holdings posted strong returns. These included First Solar, a maker of grid-connected solar power plants; Cameron International, which provides equipment for gas and oil drilling; and Mosaic, one of the leading fertilizer producers. An overweight position in Medco Health Solutions also contributed to the fund’s stellar showing.

          These positive effects on relative performance more than offset the negative impact of other holdings that included an underweight position in student loan provider SLM Corporation (Sallie Mae). Overweight positions in Liz Claiborne and semiconductor maker LSI also reduced the fund’s return slightly.

          On June 30, 2007, foreign securities made up 7.72% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts, which are receipts for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND  FOREIGN STOCKS

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The International Equity Fund returned 14.79% for the period, compared with the 10.74% gain of the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index, and the 10.72% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category.

Foreign stocks outpace U.S. shares

For the six-month period, the return of the EAFE index, which measures stocks in developed foreign markets, was more than three and one-half percentage points higher than the 7.11% advance of the Russell 3000® Index, which measures the broad U.S. stock market. A weaker dollar contributed to this strong outperformance: in terms of local currencies, the EAFE advanced 9.46% for the six months, but the rising value of the euro and pound versus the dollar boosted this gain to 10.74% in dollar terms. For the ten years ended June 30, 2007, foreign and domestic stocks had nearly identical performance: the average annual return of the EAFE was 7.66% in dollars, compared with 7.61% for the Russell 3000.

European stocks lead the way

The benchmark’s European segment rose 12.49% in dollars, fueled by German, French and British stocks, which climbed 24.08%, 12.95% and 10.83%, respectively. Together these three components made up more than 40% of the EAFE’s market capitalization at the end of the period. The Pacific segment returned 6.89% in dollars, restrained by modest results in Japan. Japanese stocks were up 6.59% in yen terms, but a decline in the yen’s value versus the dollar reduced this gain to 2.85% in dollar terms.

Stock selections propel the fund above the benchmark

The fund surpassed its benchmark by a wide margin because of numerous favorable stock selections. Among the holdings that contributed the most to the fund’s outperformance were overweight positions in German drug maker Bayer and Italian car maker Fiat. Also boosting returns were nonbenchmark holdings that included China Coal Energy and two German stocks, steel company Kloeckner and engineering firm GEA Group.

          The positive effects of these holdings were partly offset by overweights that did not perform as well as anticipated, including French retailing giant Carrefour and three Japanese companies—Sumitomo Osaka Cement, Nippon Sheet Glass and banking group Resona Holdings.

          As of June 30, 2007, stocks of companies in emerging markets, which are not included in the benchmark, made up approximately 2.8% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



LARGE-CAP VALUE FUND VALUE STOCKS OF LARGER COMPANIES

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Large-Cap Value Fund returned 9.41% for the period, compared with the 6.23% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, and the 7.31% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Value category.

Large-cap value trails large-cap growth

For the six-month period, large-cap value stocks posted a solid gain, but failed to match the 8.13% return of large-cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index. All of the underperformance occurred during the second quarter, when large-cap growth stocks advanced 6.86%, versus 4.93% for large-cap value stocks.

          This marked the first time in the past six quarters that the Russell 1000 Growth Index had outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index.

          For the ten years ended June 30, 2007, however, large-cap value produced an average annual return of 9.87%—nearly five and one-half percentage points higher than the 4.39% average annual gain registered by large-cap growth.

Six sectors post double-digit gains

For the six-month period, eleven of the twelve benchmark sectors posted positive returns, including six with double-digit gains. The “other energy,” integrated oils and utilities sectors, which together made up more than 25% of the benchmark’s total market capitalization on June 30, 2007, climbed 28.5%, 13.1% and 10.3%, respectively.

          The biggest detractor from performance came from financials, the largest sector of the index, which constituted more than one-third of the benchmark’s total market capitalization and fell 1.7% during the period.

Stock selections lift the fund above the benchmark

The fund outpaced its benchmark by more than three percentage points because of overweight positions in several stocks that posted strong gains. These included RadioShack, industrial conglomerate Honeywell International and Ford. An underweight position in Bank of America also aided returns.

          Detractors from relative performance included out-of-benchmark holdings in HealthSouth, Accredited Home Lenders and Canadian paper manufacturer Abitibi-Consolidated.

          On June 30, 2007, foreign securities made up 9.63% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts, which are receipts for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.

SMALL-CAP EQUITY FUND STOCKS OF SMALLER COMPANIES

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Small-Cap Equity Fund returned 6.69% for the period, compared with the 6.45% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, and the 8.55% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Small Blend category.

Small-caps trail the broad market

For the six-month period, small-cap stocks scored solid gains but failed to match the 7.11% return of the broader U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index. The under-performance occurred early in the second quarter, when investors sought the relative safety of larger-cap, blue-chip stocks over their more aggressive small-cap counterparts in response to increasing volatility in the stock market. Large-cap stocks constituted approximately 60% of the Russell 3000 Index during the period.

          For the ten-year period ended June 30, 2007, small caps produced an average annual return of 9.06%, well ahead of the 7.61% average annual return of the Russell 3000 Index.

Double-digit gains in key sectors drive the benchmark

For the six-month period, nine of the twelve benchmark sectors reported positive results, including six with double-digit gains. Returns were largely fueled by the materials and processing and consumer discretionary sectors, which climbed 19.4% and 7.8%, respectively; these constituted more than one-quarter of the index in terms of market capitalization as of June 30, 2007.

          The weakest results came from the benchmark’s largest sector, financials, which fell 4.4% during the period.

Stock choices lift the fund above the benchmark

The fund topped its benchmark because of a number of successful stock selections. Among the largest contributors were overweight holdings, relative to the benchmark, in communications equipment provider CommScope, agricultural chemicals firm CF Industries Holdings and construction contractor Perini. Avoiding homebuilder Hovnanian Enterprises also boosted returns.

          Several overweight holdings did not perform as well as anticipated and hindered results. These included drug maker The Medicines Company and managed health care provider Amerigroup. An underweight position in digital marketing firm aQuantive also reduced returns slightly.

          The fund continued to use proprietary mathematical models to select small-cap stocks that appeared to be attractively priced.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



STOCK INDEX FUND U.S. STOCKS

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Stock Index Fund returned 7.11% for the period, compared with the 7.11% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, and the 7.34% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend category.

Second quarter propels stocks

Despite a volatile six months, the broad U.S. stock market, as represented by the Russell 3000 Index, delivered solid performance. A global sell-off in February, subprime lending woes in March and rising bond yields provided hurdles for equities, but the benchmark still rose 1.28% in the first quarter and 5.77% in the second.

          Both growth and value stocks generated strong returns across all three capitalization sizes, as defined by the Russell indexes; mid-cap stocks gained 9.90% to lead the way. Within the cap categories, mid-cap growth stocks were the top producers, rising 10.97%, while small-cap value issues lagged other categories, increasing 3.80%.

          Although domestic equities did well, foreign stocks performed even better. The MSCI EAFE® Index, which measures stocks in developed foreign markets, gained 10.74% in dollar terms. For the five years ended June 30, 2007, the average annual return of the EAFE index was 17.72% in dollar terms versus 11.52% for the Russell 3000.

A broad advance drives returns

Of the benchmark’s twelve industry sectors, eleven posted positive returns—six of them double digit gains. The largest sector, financial stocks, which made up nearly a quarter of the benchmark in terms of market capitalization as of June 30, dipped 0.6%. The next-largest sector, consumer discretionary, gained 5.8%, while the third-largest, technology, rose 9.8%.

          The best-performing sectors, “other energy” and materials and processing, jumped 24.2% and 19.2%, respectively. Although these two sectors together constituted only about 8% of the benchmark’s market capitalization, they contributed more than one-fifth of the benchmark’s return.

Largest stocks deliver mixed results

In descending order according to cap size, the benchmark’s five largest holdings performed as follows: ExxonMobil, 10.4%; General Electric, 4.4%; AT&T, 18.4%; Citigroup, –6.1%; and Microsoft, –0.7%.

          For the period, the fund’s return matched that of the benchmark, in spite of the effects of expenses and of some cash holdings for liquidity. The fund had a risk profile similar to that of the benchmark.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



SOCIAL CHOICE EQUITY FUND  SOCIALLY SCREENED STOCKS

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Social Choice Equity Fund returned 6.46% for the period, compared with the 7.11% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, and the 7.34% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend category. Neither the benchmark nor the Morningstar category screens investments according to social criteria, as the fund does.

Exclusion of energy stocks hurts returns

Because of its social screens, the fund did not invest in several stocks that were sizable components of the Russell 3000 Index in terms of market capitalization. The exclusion of these stocks produced both positive and negative results, but the net effect was to lower the fund’s return compared with the return of its benchmark.

          Steadily climbing oil prices boosted energy stocks during the six-month period. As a result, the absence of ExxonMobil and Chevron significantly detracted from the fund’s relative performance. ExxonMobil, the largest component of the benchmark on June 30, 2007, advanced 10.4%, while Chevron, another large component, rose 16.2%. The fund also suffered by excluding Caterpillar and copper and gold producer Freeport-McMoRan.

          The financial sector, which lost 0.6% during the period, was the weakest performing sector of the Russell 3000. Performance versus the index benefited most from the exclusion of Citigroup, which fell 6.1%. Avoiding JPMorgan Chase, General Electric, insurer American International Group and drug maker Pfizer also contributed to returns.

Statistical techniques help limit the fund’s risks

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

          The fund’s relative performance was helped in the period by overweight positions in AT&T and in two energy companies, Valero Energy and Apache. Other overweight holdings failed to perform as anticipated and detracted from return. These included Johnson & Johnson, financial giants Wachovia and Merrill Lynch, and home mortgage provider Freddie Mac. This last holding was adversely affected by the accelerating default rate among U.S. homeowners.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUND  REAL ESTATE SECURITIES

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Real Estate Securities Fund returned –5.70% for the period, compared with the –6.19% return of its benchmark, the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index, and the –4.54% average return of the fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Specialty Real Estate category.

REITs surge briefly before staggering

After advancing 9.12% in January, the benchmark dropped 2.30% in February and 2.83% in March, for a 3.59% first-quarter return. Dips in April and May combined with a 9.37% plunge in June to produce the benchmark’s worst quarter in nearly five years.

          The retreat of real estate investment trusts (REITs) could be attributed to several factors, including profit-taking by investors and the acquisition of Equity Office Properties by private equity firm Blackstone Group. Some interpreted this purchase as a market top.

          The sell-off could also be traced to rising Treasury yields. The 10-year note, a common benchmark for mortgage rates, hit a five-year high of 5.29% on June 12. Increasing borrowing costs have historically led to a drop in commercial real estate property values and acted as a drag on REITs’ future profits.

REITs trail stocks and bonds

After gaining just 1.28% in the first quarter, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, added 5.77% in the second. Meanwhile, investment-grade bonds, as represented by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, also topped REITs, despite a meager 0.98% six-month gain.

          Over the five years ended June 30, 2007, however, REITs generated an average annual return of 19.52%, compared with 11.52% for the Russell index and 4.48% for the Lehman index.

Stock selections trim losses

Despite its negative return, the fund topped the benchmark for the period. Key contributors included out-of-benchmark holdings in resort operator Sunterra, Starwood Hotels and Mission West Properties, a manager of research and development properties. Relative performance was also helped by underweight positions, such as Kimco Holdings, a firm that develops and owns shopping centers.

          These positive contributions were partly offset by underperformance from overweight selections that included Corporate Office Properties and EastGroup Properties, an industrial developer. Returns were also reduced by stocks such as asset management firm GSC Capital, an out-of-benchmark holding, and Equity Office Properties, an underweight position.

Although the Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate steady at 5.25% in its first four meetings of 2007, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which tracks the investment-grade U.S. bond market, endured a bumpy six months. It posted a solid 1.50% return for the first quarter, but then lost 0.52% in the second quarter. Bond prices fell (and yields rose) as expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve dried up amid inflation fears and renewed vigor in the U.S. economy.

Longer-dated maturities regain lead

When the period began, the 2-year Treasury note, at 4.81%, yielded slightly more than the 10-year, an unusual relation because bondholders willing to invest for longer periods normally earn higher rates. By the end of March, though, the 10-year security provided a 4.65% to 4.58% advantage, and by the end of June the 10-year yield stood at 5.03%, versus 4.86% for the 2-year note.

The fund stays close to the benchmark

Narrow spreads among different types of securities made it difficult to add value during the period. In the first quarter, the fund’s 1.43% return lagged its benchmark’s by 0.07 of a percentage point.

          Individual security selections in the agency and mortgage-backed security sectors made positive contributions to relative returns, but an overweight position, versus the benchmark, in asset-backed securities reduced performance slightly. In addition, maintaining a duration that was shorter than the benchmark’s trimmed returns in the first quarter when bond prices rose.

          In the second quarter, the fund lost 0.61%, trailing the benchmark by 0.09 of a percentage point. This time the fund’s shorter duration helped performance when bond prices fell. Returns were again helped by security selections in agencies, but underweighting that sector hurt relative performance. Individual bond selections in the mortgage-backed security sector also trimmed returns.

2007 Semiannual Report  §  TIAA-CREF Life Funds 



MONEY MARKET FUND CASH EQUIVALENTS

PERFORMANCE IN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

The Money Market Fund returned 2.65% for the period, compared with the 2.37% gain of the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report Averages™—All Taxable, a simple average of over 1,000 taxable money market funds.

The Fed holds the short-term rate steady

In the first half of 2007, the Federal Reserve declined to change the federal funds rate at each of its four meetings. (The federal funds rate is the interest rate commercial U.S. banks charge one another for overnight loans.) The rate has remained at 5.25% since June 2006.

          Economic growth continued the moderating trend begun in the second half of 2006. Solid gains in job creation and strong consumer spending partly offset the effects of a cooling housing market. As oil prices crept steadily upward, the Fed cautioned that inflation remained a concern and pointed out that the high percentage of the nation’s productive capacity currently in use could keep prices elevated.

LIBOR sees little change

The LIBOR remained fairly flat throughout the six months, reflecting the market’s strengthening conviction that the Fed would leave the short-term rate unchanged at least through the end of the year. (The LIBOR, the interest rate that banks charge one another for loans on the London market, is the most widely used benchmark for short-term rates.) Yields on securities with one-month maturities hovered around 5.32%; those on twelve-month issues fluctuated slightly, ending the period at 5.43%.

The fund takes advantage of longer-term rates

The fund increased its investments in securities with longer maturities to benefit from the higher yields they provided. As a result, on June 26, 2007, the fund’s weighted average maturity was 49 days, versus 43 days for the average iMoneyNet fund. During the period, the fund’s weighted average maturity fluctuated between 44 and 53 days.

          Despite the limited supply of commercial paper, its portion of the portfolio rose to 86.6% from 80.2% six months earlier. (Commercial paper offers higher returns without significant additional risk.) U.S. agency securities declined to 4.8% from 9.1%, while certificates of deposit fell from 6.5% to 4.3%. Floating rate securities increased slightly to 4.3% from 4.2%.

          On June 30, 2007, foreign securities made up 17.4% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

Valuation of investments: Equity securities listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their sale price on such market or exchange at the close of business on the date of valuation, or at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices if no sale is reported. Debt securities will generally be valued using prices provided by a pricing service which may employ various indications of value including but not limited to broker-dealer quotations. Certain debt securities, other than money market instruments, are valued based on the most recent bid price or the equivalent quoted yield for such securities (or those of comparable maturity, quality and type). Money market instruments (other than those in the Money Market Fund), with maturities of one year or less, are valued in the same manner as debt securities or derived from a pricing matrix that has various types of money market instruments along one axis and various maturities along the other. For the Money Market Fund, all of its investments are valued using the amortized cost, or market value if market value is materially different from amortized cost. Investments in other registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. Foreign investments are

 

 

124

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



valued at the closing values of such securities as of the date of valuation under the generally accepted valuation method in the country where traded, converted to U.S. Dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the date of valuation. Stock and bond index futures and options, are valued at the last sale price as of the close of business on 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 materially affecting their value occur between the time their price is determined and the time a Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service, which attempts to calculate a fair value for securities based on numerous factors including correlations of a security’s price with securities indices and other appropriate indicators, such as American Depositary Receipts and futures contracts. Other factors may also be considered in determining fair value, such as fundamental analytical data, market and trading trends, and public trading of similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

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

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Mortgage dollar roll transactions:  The Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery and contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Funds’ policy is to record the dollar rolls using “to be announced” mortgage-backed securities as purchase and sale transactions. Any difference between the purchase and sale price is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the trade date of the sale transaction. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it is required to have segregated assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its dollar roll commitments. In addition, the Funds may receive compensation that is recorded as deferred income and amortized to income over the roll period. The counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made in respect of a security subject to such a contract while it is the holder. Dollar rolls may be renewed with a new purchase and repurchase price and a cash settlement made on settlement date without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Funds engage in dollar rolls for the purpose of enhancing their yields.

Cash: The Funds may hold cash in its account with the custodian. The Funds, throughout the year, may have a cash overdraft balance. A fee is incurred on this overdraft.

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

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

Forward foreign currency contracts will be used primarily to protect the Funds from adverse currency movements and will generally not be entered into for terms greater than one year. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund’s investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in

 

 

126

continued

the future. The use of forward foreign currency contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Securities lending: The Funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers, consisting of financial institutions and brokers. By lending such securities, the Funds attempt to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest on collateral (after rebates and fees). Such income is included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. The value of loaned securities and the liability related to the cash collateral received are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The loans are secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned for U.S. securities and 105% of the market value of securities loaned for foreign securities. All cash collateral (except for the Social Choice Equity Fund) is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds before the end of the following business day. The Funds continue to receive income (dividends and interest) paid on the securities loaned via payments “in lieu” received from the borrowers. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover securities from the borrower on demand. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. However, the Funds are indemnified by their lending agent against any losses related to borrower defaults.

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

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts, that a change in the value of the

 

 

TIAA-CREF Life Funds § 2007 Semiannual Report

127



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities, or that the counterparty to a contract may default on its obligation to perform.

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

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

Targeted Return Index Securities (“TRAINs”): The Funds may invest in TRAINs, which are investment vehicles structured as trusts. Each trust represents an undivided investment interest in the pool of securities (generally high yield securities) underlying the trust without the brokerage and other expenses associated with holding small positions in individual securities. The Funds carry on their books the current face value of the TRAIN which represents the current face value of the underlying securities. If a security is removed from the TRAIN the current face value will be reduced equal to the face value of the security. The holder will have the option of receiving their portion of the bond or cash. These securities accrual payments are based upon the underlying securities so that the payment dates coincide with the individual securities in the TRAIN.

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

 

 

128

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



continued

Fund, in which case distributions are declared daily and paid monthly.Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds to the extent they exceed capital loss carryovers.

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

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

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

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

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

Also, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the trustees and officers of the Funds are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA and a registered investment adviser, provides investment advisory services for the Funds pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement between Advisors and the Funds. Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, each Fund pays a unitary fee for all services, including investment management services, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

Note 5—line of credit

Each of the Funds, except the Bond and Money Market Funds, participate in a $1.5 billion committed revolving credit facility dated August 7, 2006 that can be used for temporary purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemptions. Certain affiliated accounts and mutual funds, each of which is managed by Advisors, or an affiliate of Advisors, also participate in this facility. An annual commitment fee for the credit facility is borne by Advisors. Interest associated with any borrowing under the facility is charged to Advisors at rates which are based on the Federal Funds Rate in effect during the time of the borrowing. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no borrowings under this credit facility by the Funds.

Note 6—new accounting pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including what jurisdiction the entity may be taxable in), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for financial statements dated after June 29, 2007, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. Management has evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Funds’ financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2007 and has determined, under guidelines established by FIN 48 that no adjustments should be made to these financial statements.

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

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds (the “Funds”) is responsible for overseeing the Funds’ corporate policies and for adhering to fiduciary standards under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and other applicable laws. Among its duties, the Board is responsible for determining annually whether to renew the investment management agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Funds and Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“TAI”). Under the Agreement, TAI is responsible for providing to (or obtaining for) each Fund all of the services necessary for its ordinary operation, including investment advisory, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, custody, accounting and administrative services.

Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act provides that, after an initial period, the Agreement for each Fund will remain in effect only if the Board, including a majority of those Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the Agreement, and who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, annually renews that Agreement. All of the Trustees are deemed to be independent persons for this purpose.

OVERVIEW OF THE RENEWAL PROCESS

The Board held a meeting on April 3, 2007, at which it considered the annual renewal of the Agreement. Prior to that meeting, the Board had implemented an enhanced process by which it determined to review and consider the renewal of the Agreement. As part of that process, the Board delegated certain duties to its Operations Committee. Among these duties, the Operations Committee was asked to work with management and legal counsel to the Trustees to develop more refined guidelines relating to the types of information to be provided to the Committee and to all Trustees in connection with the proposed contract renewals, and then to help evaluate the information provided in response to those guidelines. During a series of meetings held prior to April 3, 2007, the Operations Committee helped to develop such guidelines in consultation with management representatives and input from other Trustees and legal counsel to the Trustees, and then evaluated the information produced in accordance with those guidelines.

Among other matters, the Operations Committee helped to develop guidelines regarding reports to be provided to all Trustees with respect to each Fund by the Global Fiduciary Review unit of Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”). Lipper is an independent provider of investment company data that is widely recognized as a leading source of independent data used by independent directors and trustees of investment companies during their annual advisory contract renewal processes.

As a result of instructions by the Operations Committee on behalf of the Board, Lipper produced, among other information, extensive performance and expense comparison data regarding each Fund, including data relating to each Fund’s management fee rates, total expense ratios, short-term and long-term investment performance and, as applicable, brokerage commission costs and portfolio turnover rates. Lipper also compared much of this data for each Fund against a suitable

 

 

TIAA-CREF Life Funds § 2007 Semiannual Report

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

universe of comparable investment companies and, in the case of the investment performance data, against a more selective peer group of mutual funds and against one or more appropriate broad-based benchmark indices. In each case, Lipper summarized the methodologies employed by it to provide the data contained in its reports. In addition, Lipper represented to the Board that its reports were designed specifically to provide the Board with the fee, expense and performance information that is necessary to help the Board satisfy its duties under Section 15 of the 1940 Act.

Among other matters, the Operations Committee also developed a framework of factors that could be considered by the Trustees in order to evaluate the reasonableness of any profits earned by TAI with respect to its services to each Fund pursuant to the Agreement. In this connection, the Operations Committee emphasized that different Trustees could, and likely would, give different weight to different factors when evaluating the profits, if any, realized by TAI.

In advance of the Board meeting held on April 3, 2007, independent legal counsel for the Trustees requested, and TAI provided, extensive information that was designed to assist the Board in its consideration of whether to renew each Fund’s Agreement. In addition to the data provided by Lipper as described above, this information included, but was not limited to, the following: (1) further information relating to each Fund’s investment performance, including performance ratings provided by Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”), which is a widely recognized mutual fund ranking service, and a narrative analysis of each Fund’s performance relative to its applicable benchmarks and peer groups, together with an explanation of any special events that had a material impact on performance during the prior year; (2) a description of any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that were in place during the prior year and the extent to which such arrangements would be continued or modified in the coming year; (3) a comparison of each Fund’s fees under the Agreement as compared to any other comparable accounts managed by the TAI; (4) any “fall-out” benefits that accrued to TAI due to its relationship with the Funds aside from TAI’s direct fee payments pursuant to the Agreement; (5) information regarding TAI’s financial resources, senior professional personnel, overall staffing levels, portfolio manager compensation arrangements, disaster recovery plans, insurance coverage, compliance programs, any material pending litigation or compliance issues, portfolio trading and best execution practices, and any actual and potential conflicts of interests confronted by TAI in connection with rendering services to the Funds; (6) information as to any profits earned by TAI in connection with its services pursuant to the Agreement; (7) a copy of the Agreement and certain related service agreements between the Funds and affiliates of TAI; (8) a copy of TAI’s SEC Form ADV registration statement; and (9) proposed narrative explanations of reasons why the Board should renew the Agreement.

2007 Semiannual Report § TIAA-CREF Life Funds



continued

In considering whether to renew the Agreement, the Board, with assistance from its Operations Committee, reviewed various factors with respect to each Fund, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by TAI to each Fund; (2) the investment performance of each Fund; (3) the costs of the services provided to each Fund and the profits (if any) realized by TAI and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as each Fund grows; (5) whether the fee schedules set forth in the Agreement reflect any such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by TAI with other clients; and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by TAI from its relationship with the Funds. As a general matter, the Trustees viewed these factors in their totality, with no single factor being the principal factor in determining whether to renew the Agreement.

In reaching its decisions regarding the renewal of each Fund’s Agreement, the Board took into account the information described above, other information provided to the Board in connection with this process, and relevant information provided to the Board and to its Committees on an ongoing basis in connection with the Board’s general oversight duties with respect to the Funds. In addition, the Board received and considered information from Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP, its independent legal counsel, as to certain relevant guidelines that relate to the renewal process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act and certain other legal authorities.

While the Board considered the Agreement for all Funds at the same meeting on April 3, 2007, the Board received and considered Fund-specific information on a Fund-by-Fund basis and made its renewal determinations on a Fund-by-Fund basis. In deciding whether to renew each Agreement, each Trustee may have accorded different weight to different factors and, thus, each Trustee may have had a different basis for his or her ultimate decision to vote to renew each Fund’s Agreement.

At its meeting on April 3, 2007, the Board voted unanimously to renew the particular Agreement for each Fund. Set forth below are the general factors the Board considered for all of the Funds, followed by an outline of the specific factors the Board considered for each particular Fund.

THE NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The Board considered that TAI is an experienced investment adviser that has managed the Funds since their operations commenced. The investment professionals at TAI also have managed various accounts of the College Retirement Equities Fund (“CREF”) since their inception. Under the Agreement, TAI is responsible for, among other duties: managing the assets of the Funds, including conducting research, recommending investments and placing orders to buy and sell securities for the Funds’ investment portfolios; active daily monitoring of the investment portfolios by various personnel with specific responsibility for the

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

particular types of investments in question; and reporting on the investment performance of the Funds to the Boards on a regular basis. The Board considered that TAI has carried out these responsibilities in a professional manner.

The Board also considered, among other factors, the performance of each of the Funds, as discussed below. In the course of its review of the quality of TAI’s services, the Board examined the investment performance of each Fund and concluded that it was reasonable when compared with Fund benchmarks and peer groups of mutual funds, and that, in the case of underperforming Funds, TAI represented that it had taken or was planning to implement affirmative steps to enhance the investment performance.

In addition, the Board considered the nature and quality of non-portfolio management services provided by TAI and its affiliates. In this connection, the Board considered that it intends to work with management during the next year in an effort to develop enhanced metrics for measuring the ongoing performance of certain affiliated and unaffiliated service providers. The Board also considered that, through these metrics and other actions, it intends to monitor progress with respect to ongoing improvements in services provided by those firms or through outsourcing to other firms, including, as appropriate, further enhancements to administrative and compliance services.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

The Board considered the investment performance of each class of shares of each Fund, as applicable, over one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year periods and since inception of the Fund’s operations. The Board also considered each Fund’s performance as compared to its peer groups and benchmark indices. In this regard, the Board considered that most of the Funds achieved performance that compares favorably to their benchmarks (after considering the effect of expenses incurred to operate the Funds) and, with some exceptions, ranked in the top three performance quintiles versus their peer groups of mutual funds. (For additional detail regarding each Fund’s performance, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.) The Board considered that in those cases in which Funds had underperformed their benchmarks or peer groups of mutual funds, TAI had taken reasonable remedial actions or represented that it was in the process of taking such actions. Thus, the Board concluded that, under the totality of circumstances considered, the investment performance of each Fund was reasonable. In addition, the Board considered that it intends to work with management during the coming year to review further the best execution and portfolio turnover practices of TAI with respect to certain Funds to assess whether those practices continue to be in the best interests of shareholders.

COST AND PROFITABILITY

The Board considered financial and profitability data relating to TAI for the calendar year 2006. In this connection, the Board considered each Fund’s unitary fee structure under which TAI is obligated to provide (or arrange and pay for) all of the services necessary for each Fund’s ordinary operations, including investment advisory, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, custody, accounting and administrative services. The Board considered TAI’s profit calculations with respect to its services to each Fund both before and after taking into account the costs incurred directly or indirectly by TAI in connection with the distribution of shares of the Funds. The Board considered that TAI has consistently incurred losses based on its services to each of the Funds under the Agreement. Among other considerations, the Board acknowledged the reasonableness of having fee rates which permit TAI to maintain and improve the quality of services provided to the Funds. In this connection, the Board noted its ongoing efforts to examine the level of personnel and other resources available to portfolio management functions so as to assess whether sufficient resources continue to be devoted to these functions. The Board also considered that it would continue to review the profitability levels of TAI annually during its yearly review of the Funds’ management arrangements to ensure that TAI’s fees remain fair and reasonable and that its profits (if any) for managing the Funds were not excessive.

FEES CHARGED BY OTHER ADVISERS

The Board considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar funds, as analyzed by Lipper. The Board determined that the fee rates charged to the Funds under the Agreement typically were lower or significantly lower than the fee rates charged by many or most comparable mutual funds. Based on all factors considered, the Board determined that the fee rates under the Agreement were reasonable in relation to those charged by appropriate groups of comparable mutual funds.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Board considered whether TAI has or would experience economies of scale in connection with the operation of each Fund. In this connection, the Board considered that TAI had incurred operating losses in 2006 with respect to its services provided to each of the Funds. The Board determined that current fee rates at current asset levels were low compared to peer groups of mutual funds. Thus, the Board determined that the Funds’ fee schedules were reasonable in light of current economies of scale considerations and current asset levels. In addition, the Board considered that it intends to work with management during the coming year to evaluate whether any material asset growth by the Funds has created or would create economies of scale for TAI and, if so, to determine whether any

 

 

TIAA-CREF Life Funds § 2007 Semiannual Report

137



BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

portion of savings from such economies of scale could be passed on to Fund shareholders through the addition of fee schedule breakpoints.

FEE COMPARISON WITH OTHER TAI CLIENTS

The Board considered that TAI provides similar investment management services to other affiliated investment companies. In addition, TAI, through its TIAA-CREF Asset Management division, manages large institutional client assets through unregistered commingled funds and separate accounts with similar investment strategies and investment staff. The Board considered the schedule of fees for each of the comparable funds. The Board also considered TAI’s representation that, while management fee rates may differ for comparable funds, this is due in part to the unitary nature of each Fund’s fees and to the fact that some of the comparable funds are offered through products that charge additional fees to its investors. In this connection, the Board considered TAI’s representation that because the comparable funds target different types of investors and use different distribution channels, these factors justify different pricing schedules.

OTHER BENEFITS

The Board also considered additional benefits to the Funds and to TAI arising from the Agreement. For example, TAI and its affiliates may benefit from the advisory relationship with the Funds to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA-CREF group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and nonprofit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. Also, certain Funds managed by TAI are managed in the same manner and by the same personnel as certain of the CREF Accounts, resulting in the possibility for benefits associated with economies of scale.

FUND-BY FUND FACTORS

The Funds’ Trustees considered the following specific factors (among others) during their determination to renew the Agreement for each Fund described in this Report. If a Fund is described in the following discussions as being in the “first” quintile, it is in the best of five groups (that is, the group has the best performance or the lowest expenses, as the case may be). References below to quintiles are based on data provided to the Board in the reports prepared by Lipper. All periods referenced below end as of December 31, 2006. Under the Morningstar rating system, 5 stars is the highest rating category and 1 star is the lowest rating category.
