Money market mutual funds

Money market mutual funds are securities that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933. Although money market funds attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share, there is no guarantee that the fund will in fact maintain a $1 per share stable net asset value. Money market funds are not insured by the FDIC. Money market funds are, however, securities subject to SIPC protection in the event of insolvency of Pershing, LLC as the brokerage firm holding your account and cash or securities are owed to you. SIPC is a nonprofit member corporation funded primarily by member securities brokerage firms registered with the SEC, which protects customers up to certain limits in the event of the failure of a brokerage firm where cash and securities are owed to customers.

See the TIAA Brokerage SIPC Asset Protection GuideOpens pdf for more information. SIPC does not protect against loss due to market fluctuation or failure of the issuer of a money market fund. More specific information about a particular money market mutual fund, including applicable fund restrictions, fees and expenses and other important information, can be found in the fund's prospectus, which can be obtained from our forms page (within Agreements & Disclosures) or by contacting 800-842-2252, weekdays, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. (ET).
