SUPPLEMENT NO. 1

dated October 1, 2015
to the Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2015 (“SAI”)

 

New third-party vendor relationships

 

CREF (the “Accounts”) has entered into agreements to disclose portfolio holdings information to certain additional third-party vendors. Accordingly, the following information hereby replaces in its entirety the 5th paragraph of the section entitled “Disclosure of portfolio holdings” beginning on page B-24 of the SAI (changes in bold):

 

“Currently, the Accounts have ongoing arrangements to disclose their portfolio holdings in accordance with the time restrictions and other provisions of the Accounts’ portfolio holdings disclosure policy to the following recipients: Lipper, Inc., a Reuters Company; Morningstar, Inc.; Mellon Analytical Solutions; S&P; The Thomson Corporation; Command Financial Press; the Investment Company Institute (the “ICI”); R.R. Donnelley; Bloomberg Finance, L.P.; Data Explorers Limited; eA Data Automation Services LLC; Markit on Demand; Objectiva Software (d/b/a Nu:Pitch); CoreOne Technologies; Cabot Research, LLC; Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC; Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.; Fidelity Information Services, LLC; EquiLend Holdings LLC and FactSet Research Systems Inc. and the lenders under the Accounts’ credit facility (Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.; Citibank, N.A.; State Street and Trust Company; Bank of America, N.A.; Barclays Bank PLC; Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch; Goldman Sachs Bank USA; Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A.; HSBC Bank USA, National Association; The Royal Bank of Scotland plc; The Bank of New York Mellon; The Northern Trust Company; U.S. Bank National Association and BMO Harris Financing, Inc.).

Each of these entities receives portfolio holdings information on a monthly basis at least 10 days after the end of the most recent calendar month. The ICI, however, generally receives this information more quickly than the other entities listed above. No compensation was received by the Accounts, TCIM or their affiliates as part of these arrangements to disclose portfolio holdings of the Accounts.”
