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

Report on TIAA-CREF Life Funds

 

The first half of 2005 was a textbook case of how unpredictable the financial markets can be.

 

The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates four times during the period, lifting them to 3.25%, their highest level since September 2001. Many investors thought these rate hikes would drive long-term rates up and dampen economic growth. As a result, the Russell 3000® Index, which measures the broad U.S. stock market, lost 2.20% during the first quarter.

 

During the second quarter, however, strong demand for bonds actually sent long-term rates lower. Stock investors took heart from this decline, which promised to extend the housing boom and to fuel spending by consumers and companies alike. The Russell 3000 rose 2.24% for the quarter, regaining nearly all the ground it had lost in the first.

 

Gains in bonds helped offset the losses posted by domestic and foreign stocks.

 

Stock prices were also supported by steady economic growth and an improved employment picture. Bonds did even better than domestic stocks. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures the investment-grade bond market, gained 3.01%.

 

For the six-month period, the Russell 3000 was nearly flat—it posted a 0.01% loss—but the Lehman index was up 2.51%. Foreign stocks performed well, too, in terms of their local currencies, but a stronger dollar turned those gains into losses for U.S. investors. In dollar terms, the MSCI EAFE® Index, which tracks stocks in 21 developed nations, fell 1.17%.

 

This was a period when many market timers suffered because both the stock and bond markets reacted in unusual ways. For investors with a well-diversified portfolio, however, the gains in bonds helped offset the losses posted by domestic and foreign stocks.

 

Of course, building a diversified portfolio requires investment funds that provide pure exposure to their asset classes. Otherwise, an investor may find that a portfolio includes investments that are inappropriate for his or her situation. To achieve pure exposure, each fund must be fully invested, rather than holding large amounts of cash as a cushion against possible losses.

 

The fund also should be broadly diversified within its part of the market. That’s because individual

industry sectors often perform very differently from a diversified portfolio, even over extended periods of time. For example, the Russell 3000 had an average annual return of 10.05% for the ten years ended June 30, 2005. Over the same period, the technology sector of the index returned just 7.19% per year.

 

Finally, pure exposure to an asset class requires that a fund have low expenses. Each dollar spent on expenses is one less dollar invested in that asset class, and the effect of expenses is compounded over time.

 

Each of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds meets these criteria. They are fully invested, diversified within their portion of the market and low-cost. By combining them, you can create a broadly diversified portfolio that suits your needs.

 

The following pages provide a detailed explanation of how the Life Funds performed during the first half of 2005. Returns for our equity funds ranged from –2.28% for the Growth Equity Fund to 5.93% for the Real Estate Securities Fund.

 

The Bond Fund benefited from the second-quarter rally in the bond market and posted a return of 2.65%.

 

The Federal Reserve’s increases in the federal funds rates continued to lift money market rates, and the Money Market Fund returned 1.35% for the six-month period.

 

As you review the results of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds for the first half of 2005, I want to remind you that it is important to review your portfolio’s asset allocation on a regular basis. Varying investment returns may have altered your previous allocations. If so, you may want to make a transfer to rebalance your portfolio, either by calling us or by visiting our Web Center.

More information about the report

 

Portfolio listings

 

SEC rules intended to provide investors with more meaningful information about fund performance allow investment companies to list the top holdings of each fund in their annual and semiannual reports instead of providing complete portfolio listings as they did previously. Companies will continue to file complete listings with the SEC, and these will remain available to investors.

 

You can obtain a complete list of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ holdings (called “TIAA-CREF Life Funds Statements of Investments”) as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter (currently for the period ended June 30, 2005) in the following ways:

 

    by visiting the TIAA-CREF Web Center at www.tiaa-cref.org; or

 

    by calling TIAA-CREF at 800 842-2776 to request a copy, which will be provided free of charge.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2005, and for other reporting periods, you can also obtain a complete listing of TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ holdings on Form N-CSR (for periods ended either June 30 or December 31) or on Form N-Q (for the most recently completed fiscal quarter, either March 31 or September 30)

 

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

 

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

 

Proxy voting

 

TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ ownership of stock gives it the right to vote on proxy issues of companies in which it invests.

Special terms

 

Agency securities are bonds issued by U.S. government entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (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, used to compare the performance of an investment.*

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Mortgage-backed securities are bonds that represent an interest in a pool of mortgages issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), Fannie Mae or other federal entities.

 

Overweight holding is a security held by a fund. In terms of market capitalization, it forms a larger percentage of that fund than that same security’s percentage of the benchmark. Fund managers may overweight those securities they think will produce higher returns than the benchmark. See also “Underweight holding.”

 

Peer groups are groupings of mutual funds with a similar objective whose performance is compared with the performance of a single mutual fund.

 

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

 

Securities is a general name for stocks (also known as “equities”), bonds (also known as “fixed income”) 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 fund’s holdings.

 

Underweight holding is a security held by a fund. In terms of market capitalization, it forms a smaller percentage of that fund than that same security’s percentage of the benchmark. Fund managers may underweight those securities they think will produce lower returns than the benchmark. See also “Overweight holding.”

Understanding investment risk

 

All investing involves an element of risk. For example, investors in U.S. Treasury bonds, which are generally considered among the safest of investments, face the risk that inflation will erode their principal and interest over time.

 

In general, funds that invest in stocks are subject to market risk and company risk. Bond funds are subject to market risk, company risk, interest-rate risk, income volatility risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. A fund that operates in a limited area of either the stock or bond markets is subject to additional, special risks. For a full explanation of the funds’ risks, please see the prospectus.

 

The glossary below describes the general risks outlined above, as well as the special risks listed in the discussion of each fund.

 

Company risk is the risk that the earnings prospects and overall financial position of the issuer of a security will deteriorate, causing a decline in the security’s value over short or extended periods of time.

 

Credit risk (a type of company risk) is the risk that a decline in a company’s overall financial soundness may make it unable to pay principal and interest on bonds when due.

 

Dividend risk is the risk associated with investments in stocks paying relatively high dividends. These stocks may significantly underperform other stocks during periods of rapid market appreciation.

 

Extension risk is the risk of decline in value for certain fixed-income securities because principal payments are not made as early as possible.

 

Foreign investment risks are the risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, in securities or contracts traded on foreign exchanges or in foreign markets, or in securities or contracts payable in foreign currency. Foreign investing involves special risks, including erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These investment risks may be magnified in emerging markets.

 

Growth investing risks include the risk that, due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks will be more volatile than value stocks. In addition, because the value of growth companies is generally a function of their expected earnings growth, there is a risk that such earnings growth may not occur or cannot be sustained.

 

Illiquid security risk is the risk that investments in illiquid securities may be difficult to sell for their fair market value.

 

Income volatility risk is the risk that the level of current income from a portfolio of fixed-income securities may decline in certain interest-rate environments.

 

Index risk is the risk that a fund’s performance will not match the performance of its benchmark index for any period of time. Although the fund attempts to closely track the investment performance of the index, it may not duplicate the composition of this index. In addition, the fund’s performance, unlike that of its index, is affected by investment and other operating expenses.

 

6  |    2005 Semiannual Report    TIAA-CREF Life Funds


Interest-rate risk (a type of market risk) is the risk that bond prices or a fund’s income may decline if interest rates change.

 

Large-cap risk is the risk that, by focusing on investments in securities of larger companies, a fund may have fewer opportunities to identify securities that the market misprices. In addition, larger companies may grow more slowly than the economy as a whole or not at all.

 

Market risk is the risk that the price of securities may decline in response to general market and economic conditions or events.

 

Prepayment risk is the risk of a decline for certain fixed-income securities that allow for the prepayment of principal, and the risk that a fund’s income will decline as a result.

 

Real estate investing risks are the risks associated with real estate ownership, including fluctuations in property values, higher expenses or lower income than expected, and potential environmental problems and liability.

 

Real estate securities risk is the risk that a fund that concentrates its investments in real estate securities and holds securities of relatively few issuers may experience greater fluctuations in value and be subject to a greater risk of loss than other mutual funds.

 

Reorganization risk is the risk that stocks of companies involved in reorganizations and other special situations can often involve more risk than ordinary securities. Accordingly, the performance of a fund that invests in such companies is often more volatile than the performance of the overall stock market, and the fund could significantly outperform or underperform the stock market during any particular period.

 

Risk of socially screened investing is the possibility that, because its social screens exclude some investments, a fund may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as funds that do not use such criteria.

 

Small-cap risk is the risk that the securities of smaller companies may experience steeper fluctuations in price than those of larger companies. These securities may also have to be sold at a discount from their current market prices or in small lots over an extended period.

 

Style risk is the risk that a fund’s growth-investing or value-investing style may be out of favor in the marketplace for various periods of time.

 

Value investing risks are the risks that (1) the issuer’s potential business prospects may not be realized; (2) the securities’ potential values may never be recognized by the market; and (3) due to unanticipated problems associated with the issuer or industry, the securities were appropriately priced (or overpriced) when acquired.

Important information about expenses

 

DISCLOSURE

 

Shareholders in the TIAA-CREF Life Funds incur only one of two potential types of costs.

 

    Shareholders incur no transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends or on other distributions. There are also no redemption fees or exchange fees.

 

    However, they do incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses.

 

The TIAA-CREF Life Funds are the underlying investment vehicles for certain variable 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, 2005, and held for six months until June 30, 2005.

 

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.

Growth Equity Fund | Large-cap growth stocks

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Growth Equity Fund returned –2.28% for the period, trailing the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned –1.72%, and the –1.78% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Growth category.

 

Sectors diverge in a divided market

 

Stocks underperformed bonds during the first half of 2005. The Russell 3000® Index, which measures the broad U.S. stock market, was down 4.33% through the end of April but rallied in May and June to end the semiannual period with a return of –0.01%. The foreign stocks of the MSCI EAFE® Index advanced 8.07% in terms of local currencies. A weaker euro, pound and yen turned that gain into a 1.17% loss in dollar terms. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 2.51% for the six-month period.

 

Although growth stocks beat value stocks during the second quarter, value outperformed growth for the period as a whole, continuing a long-term trend. The market’s driving factor was sector performance. Consumer discretionary, technology and financials, three of the larger sectors in the Russell 1000 Growth Index, posted year-to-date returns between –4.7% and –6.2%. Two smaller sectors, utilities and “other energy,” advanced 9.7% and 22.3%, respectively, for the six-month period.

 

Fund detractors and contributors

 

The fund’s return trailed the benchmark’s because of individual stock selections. The largest detractors from relative performance included overweights in several stocks that failed to perform as anticipated, such as Qualcomm, eBay and pharmaceuticals company Biogen. Failure to invest in well-performing stocks such as Boeing and UnitedHealth Group also reduced returns.

 

These detractors from relative performance were partially offset by overweights in several stocks that outpaced the benchmark. The top performer among these was Google, whose stock soared 52.6% for the period. Returns were also helped by overweights in Gillette and in online prescription provider Express Scripts. Avoiding IBM, whose shares lost 24.7% during the period, also aided returns.

 

The fund had 1.88% of its total assets invested in foreign securities as of June 30, 2005.

PERFORMANCE

 

Fund expenses—six months ended June 30, 2005

 

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

 

The examples assume $1,000 was invested on January 1, 2005, and held for six months until June 30, 2005. Please see page 8 for a full description of the assumptions on which these examples are based and an explanation of how you can use this expense information.

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

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Growth & Income Fund returned –0.24% for the period, compared with the –0.81% return of the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, and the –0.61% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

 

S&P 500 trails broad market

 

The large-cap stocks of the S&P 500 Index, like the broader U.S. stock market, posted a small decline for the first half of 2005. The Russell 3000® Index, which includes stocks of all sizes, returned –0.01%. Large caps led the market during the first four months of the year, but small- and mid-cap stocks fared better than large caps during the stock market rally in May.

 

Skyrocketing oil prices and rising short-term interest rates were the key factors restraining equity prices during most of the period. In May, however, positive economic news, attractive valuations among lower-quality stocks and speculation that the Federal Reserve was nearing the end of its rate hikes sent the S&P 500 up 3.18%. These gains contributed to positive second-quarter returns but could not entirely reverse the 4.00% decline in the index during the first four months of the year.

 

Stock selection drives results

 

The fund outperformed the benchmark, aided by positions in stocks not included in the benchmark. These included holdings in animation movie studio Pixar, our top-performing position, and Google. An underweight in eBay and overweights in insurer American International Group and energy company EOG Resources also added value.

 

The positive effect of these holdings on performance was partly offset by lower returns from selections that included an underweight in Eli Lilly and overweights in Schering-Plough and DuPont. A position in OSI Pharmaceuticals, which is not included in the benchmark, was the largest single detractor.

 

The fund had 3.05% of its total invested assets in foreign securities as of June 30, 2005.

International Equity Fund | Foreign stocks

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The International Equity Fund returned –2.09% for the period, versus the –1.17% return of the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index. The average return of similar funds was –1.19%, as measured by the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category.

 

Surging dollar erases foreign stock gains

 

During the period, foreign stocks outperformed U.S. stocks, as they did in 2004. The EAFE index rose 8.07% in terms of local currencies, while the Russell 3000® Index, which measures the broad U.S. stock market, fell 0.01%. However, a stronger dollar reversed the EAFE’s gains for U.S. investors, transforming its healthy advance in local currencies into a 1.17% decline in dollar terms.

 

In the EAFE’s European component, which represents more than two-thirds of the market capitalization of the index, the dollar’s surge versus the euro and British pound turned a 10.15% gain in local currencies into a 0.38% loss in dollars. Likewise, in the Japanese portion of the index, the dollar’s strength turned a 1.82% rise in yen terms into a 5.85% drop in dollar terms.

 

Detractors and contributors

 

The fund lagged the benchmark because of a number of individual holdings that did not perform as anticipated. The biggest detractors from relative performance included overweights in Swiss semiconductor maker STMicroelectronics, Swiss staffing company Adecco and Italian car manufacturer Fiat. Underweights in British energy companies BP and Shell, both of which benefited from soaring oil prices, also hurt returns.

 

The negative effects of these holdings were partly offset by the fund’s larger-than-benchmark weightings in a number of European stocks that performed well, including French construction and engineering firm Vinci, German stock exchange operator Deutsche Börse, and British plumbing and heating supply company Wolseley. The fund also benefited from avoiding Irish biotechnology firm Elan and German electrical engineering giant Siemens, two stocks included in the benchmark that declined sharply during the period.

Stock Index Fund | U.S. stocks

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Stock Index Fund returned –0.08% for the period, in line with the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, which returned
–0.01%, and well ahead of the –0.61% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

 

Stocks falter, then rebound

 

After rising 11.95% in 2004, the stocks of the Russell 3000 edged downward in the first half of 2005. The weak returns were concentrated in the first quarter, when the index lost 2.20%, reflecting concerns about higher oil prices and rising short-term U.S. interest rates.

 

At the end of April, the index was down 4.33% year-to-date, but it rebounded 3.79% in May and added another 0.70% in June. These second-quarter gains all but erased the market’s first-quarter losses.

 

During the six-month period, value stocks gained 1.69%, but growth stocks posted a 1.88% decline. Mid-cap stocks led the market with a 3.92% advance, while large caps returned 0.11% and small caps lost 1.25%.

 

Sector returns vary widely

 

The market’s driving factor was sector performance. Three of the four largest sectors of the Russell 3000 posted losses for the period: the financial sector, which makes up almost a quarter of the index, was off 1.5%; consumer discretionary goods, the next-largest sector, lost 3.9%; and technology dropped 5.6%. Among the four, only health care had a positive return, gaining 4.2%.

 

The integrated oils and “other energy” sectors—buoyed by oil prices that peaked above $60 a barrel in June—climbed 17.1% and 26.6%, respectively. Although these sectors made up a total of less than 10% of the Russell 3000 as of June 30, based on market capitalization, their strong performance contributed significantly to overall returns, particularly in June.

 

For the period, the fund’s returns were comparable to those of the benchmark, minus the effect of expenses and of some cash holdings for liquidity. The fund also had a risk profile similar to that of the benchmark.

Social Choice Equity Fund | Socially screened stocks

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Social Choice Equity Fund returned –0.70% for the period, lagging the –0.01% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund’s return also trailed the –0.61% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category. Neither the benchmark nor the Morningstar category screens investments according to social criteria, as the fund does.

 

Excluded stocks dampen fund’s returns

 

Because of its social screens, the fund did not invest in several stocks that are large components of the benchmark in terms of market capitalization. While the exclusion of these stocks both helped and hurt performance, the overall effect was negative.

 

The fund suffered most from avoiding ExxonMobil, which was the second-largest holding in the Russell 3000. This stock’s 12.1% return was far ahead of the benchmark’s return. The fund’s return was also reduced by the exclusion of other stocks that outperformed the benchmark during the period, including ConocoPhillips and Boeing.

 

Conversely, the fund’s social screens helped relative performance by excluding a number of under performing stocks, including General Electric, the largest holding in the Russell 3000, as well as Wal-Mart, Citigroup and Ford Motor Company.

 

Adjusted weightings help control risk

 

Since the fund cannot invest in some of the stocks within the Russell 3000, the fund’s managers employ statistical techniques to ensure that the portfolio’s risk characteristics resemble those of the index. One method used is to overweight or underweight certain stocks relative to each one’s percentage of capitalization within the benchmark.

 

During the period, overweight holdings in several well-performing energy stocks, including EOG Resources, Valero Energy and Apache, helped the fund’s relative performance. Other adjusted holdings, including overweights in IBM, McDonald’s and home mortgage provider Fannie Mae, detracted from returns.

Large-Cap Value Fund | Value stocks of larger companies

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Large-Cap Value Fund returned –0.45% for the period, compared with 1.76% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, and the 0.38% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Value category.

 

Value maintains its dominance

 

Value stocks, which have outperformed growth issues every year since 2000, continued to do so in the first half of 2005. The Russell 3000® Value Index, which tracks value stocks of all sizes, gained 1.69%, while its growth counterpart, the Russell 3000 Growth Index, fell 1.88%. (These two indexes are subsets of the Russell 3000 Index, a measure of the broad U.S. stock market.) This spread for the six-month period—about 3.5 percentage points—was considerably smaller than the more-than-ten-point spread in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004.

 

For the first half of 2005, large-cap value stocks performed better than small-cap value issues, which returned 0.90%, but were outpaced by mid-cap value stocks, which climbed 5.51%. Over longer timeframes, large caps have performed exceptionally well; they outperformed the broader U.S. market for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30.

 

Stock selections hamper returns

 

The fund underperformed the benchmark because of a number of individual stock selections. The largest detractors from relative performance included OSI Pharmaceuticals, Northwest Airlines and semiconductor manufacturer Atmel, three companies not included in the benchmark. Relative performance was also reduced by overweight holdings in insurance broker Marsh & McLennan and media giant Viacom.

 

These detractors were partially offset by overweight holdings in stocks that outperformed the benchmark, including Sears, energy company Kerr-McGee and credit card company MBNA. Also boosting performance were an underweight position in IBM and a holding in CMS Energy, a stock not listed in the benchmark.

 

The fund had 2.14% of its total invested assets in foreign securities as of June 30, 2005.

Small-Cap Equity Fund | Stocks of smaller companies

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Small-Cap Equity Fund returned –1.20% for the period, compared with the –1.25% return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, and the 0.21% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Small Blend category.

 

After a slow start, small caps regroup

 

During the first quarter of 2005, U.S. stocks experienced a broad-based retreat, and the small-cap stocks of the Russell 2000 suffered a 5.34% drop—their worst three-month return since the third quarter of 2002. The large-cap stocks of the Russell 1000® Index lost 1.91%, and the Russell Midcap® Index dipped 0.25%.

 

In the second quarter, small caps rebounded strongly. Their 4.32% advance outpaced both the 4.18% return of mid caps and the 2.05% return of large caps. Of the twelve industry sectors in the Russell 2000 Index, eleven posted gains for the second quarter.

 

The small-cap stocks of the Russell 2000 generated larger average annual returns than the overall U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, for both the one-year and the five-year periods ended June 30. For the ten-year period, the Russell 3000 performed better by a slim margin (10.05% versus 9.90% per year).

 

Contributors and detractors

 

The fund continued its use of proprietary mathematical models to evaluate and choose small-cap stocks that appear to be attractively priced. During the reporting period, these stock selections included overweight holdings such as oil refiners and marketers Tesoro and Frontier Oil and delivery company Overnite. Each of these contributed positively to relative performance. Underweight holdings, including business software provider Ariba, also helped relative performance.

 

The positive effect of these stocks on relative performance was partly offset by overweight holdings in companies that included Steel Technologies, marketing firm Miva and R&G Financial. Underweight holdings did not meaningfully hurt performance relative to the benchmark’s.

Real Estate Securities Fund | Real estate securities

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Real Estate Securities Fund returned 5.93% for the period, trailing the 6.79% return of its benchmark, the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index, but topping the 5.52% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Specialty Real Estate category.

 

REITs stagger, then rebound strongly

 

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) started the year slowly after a 16.46% surge during the fourth quarter of 2004. The REIT market fell 6.43% during the first quarter of 2005. The broader U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, lost 2.20%. Weaker demand for REITs contributed to their sharp downturn, with many yield-hungry investors turning to bonds as long-term rates rose.

 

During the second quarter, REITs rallied, propelled by the drop in long-term interest rates. The 10-year Treasury note fell from 4.64% in March to just 3.92% on June 30, 2005. The Wilshire index climbed 14.13%, achieving its third-best quarter on record.

 

Mixed results from sector weights

 

The fund trailed the benchmark for the six-month period, primarily because of a large overweight, relative to the benchmark, in the mortgage sector. The mortgage sector often performs strongly when the market believes that the Federal Reserve will soon cease raising short-term interest rates.

 

However, after five quarter-point hikes during 2004, with indications by the Fed that rates would be nudged higher in the coming months, this sector did not perform well. Also reducing returns was a large underweight in the office sector. Nearly all of the underperformance here came from a single stock that performed better than expected.

 

These results were partly offset by successful weightings in other sectors. Relative performance was boosted by a large overweight in the hotel sector, which benefited from increased business and leisure travel. Also helping returns was an underweight holding in the industrial sector. This component of the benchmark is highly sensitive to expectations of economic growth. When the economy did not rebound as robustly as the market had anticipated, the sector’s performance suffered, and the portfolio’s trimmed exposure proved beneficial.

 

Throughout the period, the fund’s portfolio was diversified across eleven sectors, with nearly 80% of the fund’s assets concentrated in five sectors. The fund was also diversified across market capitalizations.

Bond Fund | Intermediate-term bonds

 

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Bond Fund returned 2.65% for the period, topping both the 2.51% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, and the 1.94% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category.

 

Bonds gain despite volatility

 

The prices of investment-grade bonds moved down and then up, as investors reacted to changing economic signals. In the first quarter, signs that an expanding economy might fuel inflation and cause the Federal Reserve to raise short-term interest rates more aggressively drove bond prices down. The Lehman index fell 0.48%.

 

During the second quarter, a stronger dollar allayed fears of inflation, and the Fed continued to raise interest rates in small increments. Bonds rallied, and the Lehman index returned 3.01%. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes fell from 4.64% in March to 3.91% at the end of June.

 

U.S. Treasuries and government agency securities outperformed other parts of the domestic bond market during the six months, as investors sought safety and foreign banks were attracted to the notes’ relatively high yields. Corporate securities lagged Treasuries, due to the downgrading of General Motors and Ford bonds to “junk” status. Corporate bonds recovered somewhat in June, after Lehman dropped both automakers from the benchmark.

 

Portfolio strategies pay off

 

The fund benefited from holdings in U.S. agency securities that were nearly twice their benchmark weighting. In particular, a position in home mortgage provider Fannie Mae helped performance. An ongoing strategy of underweighting short-term bonds and overweighting longer-term issues also continued to pay off. An underweight position in corporate securities enhanced relative returns as well.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the fund’s overall option-adjusted duration was 4.11 years, versus 4.16 years for the benchmark. Duration is a measure of bonds’ sensitivity to interest-rate changes. Keeping the fund’s duration close to the benchmark’s helps reduce the risk that the fund will underperform the benchmark.

Fund expenses–six months ended June 30, 2005

 

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

 

The examples assume $1,000 was invested on January 1, 2005, and held for six months until June 30, 2005. Please see page 8 for a full description of the assumptions on which these examples are based and an explanation of how you can use this expense information.

DISCUSSION

 

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2005

 

The Money Market Fund returned 1.35% for the period, surpassing the 1.05% return of the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report AveragesTM—All Taxable, a simple average of over 1,000 taxable money market funds.

 

Rising oil and commodity prices sparked inflation fears in the first quarter of 2005. However, in May, consumer prices declined for the first time in ten months, and those fears subsided.

 

During the six-month period, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate from 2.25% to 3.25%, its highest level since September 2001. (The federal funds rate is the rate commercial U.S. banks charge each other for overnight loans.) In March, the Money Fund Report All Taxable Average, driven by the short-term rate hikes, rose above 2.0% for the first time since November 2001.

 

LIBOR curve flattens

 

The LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) curve flattened over the six-month period, increasingly so during the second quarter due to expectations that the inflation rate would be lower in the future. The spread between the one-month LIBOR and twelve-month LIBOR actually grew to almost a full percentage point in the first quarter before narrowing to 0.54 of a point on June 30, 2005.

 

Asset allocations drive returns

 

During the six-month period, the fund benefited from a continued sizable allocation to commercial paper, which generally provides higher yields than other parts of the money market. These securities represented 57.5% of the portfolio on June 30, 2005. The fund largely avoided floating-rate investments, which offered lower yields and less desirable maturities.

 

The fund also had 35.2% of its holdings in government and government agency securities at the end of the period. The remaining 7.3% of the portfolio was in certificates of deposit.

 

The fund benefited from a duration that was slightly longer than that of the Money Fund Report Average. During the period, the weighted average maturity of the fund fluctuated between 30 days and 47 days.

  TIAA-CREF Life Funds

 

 

Note 1—significant accounting policies

 

TIAA-CREF Life Funds (the “Funds”) is a Delaware statutory trust that was organized on August 13, 1998 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Funds consist of ten series (each referred to as a “Fund”). TIAA-CREF Life Separate Accounts (the “Accounts”), which are registered with the Commission as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act, have various sub-accounts which correspond to and invest in the Funds. The Accounts are separate accounts of TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company (“TIAA-CREF Life”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”). The Stock Index Fund commenced operations on December 1, 1998 with a seed money investment by TIAA. The Growth Equity, Growth & Income, International Equity and Social Choice Equity Funds commenced operations on March 1, 2000 with a seed money investment by TIAA. The Large-Cap Value, Small-Cap Equity and Real Estate Securities Funds commenced operations on September 4, 2002 with a seed money investment by TIAA. The Bond and Money Market Funds commenced operations on July 8, 2003 with a seed money investment by TIAA. At June 30, 2005, the Accounts and TIAA held the following amounts in the Funds:

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which may require the use of estimates made by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.

 

Valuation of investments:  Equity securities listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their sale price on such market or exchange at the close of business on the date of valuation, or at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices if no sale is reported. Debt securities, 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),

 

110     2005 Semiannual Report   TIAA-CREF Life Funds       


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)   continued

 


 

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 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 and bond index futures which are traded on commodities exchanges, are valued at the last sales price as of the close of such commodities exchanges. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Portfolio securities may also be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees if events materially affecting their value occur between the time their price is determined and the time a Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service, which attempts to calculate a fair value for securities based on numerous factors including correlations of a security’s price with securities’ indices and other appropriate indicators, such as ADRs 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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    TIAA-CREF Life Funds   2005 Semiannual Report     111

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

 

Futures contracts:  The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the equity markets or for cash management purposes to remain highly invested in the equity markets while minimizing transaction costs. Buying futures contracts tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument/index, while selling futures contracts tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument/index or hedge other investments. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into a futures contract and variation margin payments are made or received reflecting changes in the value of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Daily changes in the value of such contracts are reflected in net unrealized gains and losses. Gains or losses are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts, 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, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds except for the Money Market Fund which are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds. Accumulated undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on total investments may include temporary and permanent book and tax differences. Temporary differences will reverse in subsequent periods and are generally due to differing book and tax treatments for the timing and recognition of gains and losses on securities, forwards, and futures, including Post October losses. Permanent differences will result in reclassifications among the respective components of net assets and are generally due to REIT adjustments, foreign currency transactions, distribution reclass, and gains on certain equity securities designated and issued by “passive foreign investment companies”.

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. At December 31, 2004, the following Funds had capital loss carryovers:

Note 6—line of credit

 

Each of the Funds, except the Bond and Money Market Funds, participate in a $2.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for temporary purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemptions. Certain affiliated accounts and mutual funds, each of which is managed by Advisors, or an affiliate of Advisors, also participate in this facility. Interest associated with any borrowing under the facility will be charged to the borrowing accounts and mutual funds at rates which are based on the Federal Funds Rate in effect during the time of the borrowing. The Funds are not liable for borrowings under the facility by affiliated mutual funds or accounts. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, there were no borrowings under this credit facility by the Funds.

Board approval of investment management agreement

 


 

TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ Board is responsible for overseeing the TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ corporate policies and for adhering to fiduciary standards under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Most significantly, the Board is responsible for the initial approval and annual renewal of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”). Under the Management Agreement, Advisors assumes responsibility for providing to, or obtaining for, the TIAA-CREF Life Funds all of the services necessary for their ordinary operation, including investment advisory, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, custody, accounting and administrative services.

 

In considering whether to renew the Management Agreement, the Board, at its April 5, 2005 meeting, reviewed the following factors with respect to each fund: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Advisors to each fund; (2) the investment performance of each fund; (3) the costs of the services provided to each fund and the profits realized or to be realized by Advisors 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 level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Advisors with other clients; and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Advisors from its relationship with the funds. The factors should be viewed in their totality, with no single factor being the principal factor in determining whether to approve the renewal of the Management Agreement.

 

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.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered that Advisors is an experienced investment advisor that has managed the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds since 1997 and the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds and the TIAA-CREF Life Funds since 1999. The investment professionals of Advisors have also managed various accounts of the College Retirement Equities Fund (“CREF”) since their inception. Under the Management Agreement, Advisors is responsible for 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 and extensive monitoring of the investment portfolios daily by various personnel with specific responsibility for the particular type of investment in question; and reporting on the investment performance of the funds to the Boards at their scheduled quarterly meetings. The Board considered that Advisors has carried out these responsibilities in a highly professional manner.

 

The Board considered, among other things, the performance of each of the funds, as discussed below.

 

Performance. The Board considered the performance of each fund over the past year, three years and since inception and the funds’ performance as compared to their peer groups and benchmark indices. The Board considered the comparative

 

116     2005 Semiannual Report   TIAA-CREF Life Funds     


Board approval of investment management agreement   continued

 


 

performance and expense data for each fund prepared by an independent third party, Lipper, Inc.’s Global Fiduciary Review unit (“Lipper”) for each pertinent fund, as well as fund performance against its performance benchmark. In looking at this data, the Board considered that most of the funds met their benchmarks over the long term (i.e., three years) (when factoring the effect of expenses) and ranked in the top three quintiles versus their peers, with the exception of the Growth Equity Fund. For additional detail about each fund of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds, see the fund-by-fund synopsis below.

 

Cost and Profitability. The Board considered the materials it received reflecting Advisors’ revenues for providing investment management and other services to the funds and that Advisors is providing these services overall at a loss. The Board considered the detailed fund-by-fund analysis of Advisors’ profitability with respect to each fund, calculated for the year ended December 31, 2004, as outlined in the synopsis below. In reviewing the profitability information provided, the Board considered that Advisors runs substantial losses.

 

Fees Charged by Other Advisers. The Board considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar funds. The Board received comparative fee information for comparable peer group funds prepared by Lipper. The Board considered that the proposed advisory fee to be paid to Advisors for its services to each fund compared favorably to the advisory fees charged to other comparable funds. The Board considered that, for the most part, the fees under Advisors’ current management agreements with the funds are lower than those of the peer group funds identified by Lipper. See the fund-by-fund detail below.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Advisors may experience economies of scale in connection with the operation of each fund. In making this determination, the Board considered that most of the funds operate at a loss to Advisors. While Advisors experiences certain economies of scale by sharing investment personnel with TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC and among the funds, this generally does not offset the losses. For those particular funds with a small profit, the fees currently charged are quite low, and do not contain breakpoints. While breakpoints could be an appropriate way for Advisors to share economies of scale with funds that have substantial assets or that have grown materially over the year, Advisors does not believe that there is a direct relationship between the economies of scale realized by the funds and those realized by Advisors as assets increase. This is largely because any economies of scale realized by Advisors and Investment Management are across a variety of classes, services and products and not due to the growth of a single fund.

 

Fee Comparison with Other Advisors Clients. The Board considered that Advisors provides similar investment management services to each of the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds, the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds, TIAA-CREF Life Funds, and TIAA Separate Account VA-1, although distribution channels differ. In addition, Advisors, through its TIAA-CREF Asset Management (TCAM) division, manages large institutional client assets through unregistered commingled funds

 

    TIAA-CREF Life Funds   2005 Semiannual Report     117


Board approval of investment management agreement   continued

 


 

and separate accounts with similar investment strategies and investment staff. The Board considered the schedule of fees for each of the comparable funds, and the fact that the fees Advisors charges are the same or lower than Advisors’ comparable funds.

 

Other Benefits. Advisors 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 investment portfolios managed by Advisors are managed in the same manner and by the same personnel as certain CREF accounts, resulting in the possibility for benefits associated with economies of scale.

The funds’ trustees considered the following specific factors during their determination to renew the Management Agreement for each fund listed below:
