Company Profile
TIAA was the vision of philanthropist Andrew Carnegie -- and founded in 1918 through his Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Carnegie Foundation, with the goal of supporting the financial well-being of college teachers through a pioneering system of annuities and low-cost life insurance.
Between 1940 and 1950, holders of TIAA annuities faced skyrocketing inflation that almost halved the purchasing power of their annuity checks. TIAA studied the problem and came up with an innovative approach that added common stocks for retirement savings and income. In 1952, TIAA introduced the world's first variable annuity, now known as the CREF Stock Account.
Since 1918, TIAA-CREF participants have received a total of $316.8 billion in annuity payments and other benefits. Today, TIAA-CREF offers a full range of financial services to meet the needs of people in the academic, medical, governmental, research and cultural fields.
