TIAA

TIAA (Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America) is a nonprofit financial services organization founded in 1918 by Andrew Carnegie. It was established to provide a pension system for educators in the United States, addressing the need for retirement benefits in this sector. Headquartered in New York City, TIAA serves millions of clients, primarily in education, research, medical, cultural, and governmental fields.

TIAA offers a range of retirement solutions, including traditional pensions and defined contribution plans tailored for educators and nonprofit employees. Its signature product, the TIAA Traditional annuity, guarantees principal and provides dividends based on investment performance. The company also introduced the College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF), the first variable annuity, and offers real estate investments through the TIAA Real Estate account. Additionally, TIAA emphasizes socially responsible investing with its Social Choice variable annuity, focusing on ESG criteria. Through its acquisition of Nuveen, TIAA enhances its asset management capabilities, providing diverse investment options and lifetime income solutions.
