1 Rates vary by contract. Guarantees of fixed monthly payments are only associated with TIAA's fixed annuities. TIAA Traditional is a guaranteed insurance contract and not an investment for federal securities law purposes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Rate increase applies to new contributions to TIAA Traditional within TIAA IRAs and Investment Solutions (IS) IRAs. The rates TIAA credits are quoted as effective annual rates with interest compounded daily. Crediting rate may fluctuate based on the contribution month. New money allocated to TIAA Traditional will receive the rate for the month in which the contribution is made and is guaranteed through February 28, 2026. New money is defined as any contribution made to TIAA Traditional within an existing or new TIAA IRA or IS IRA. This includes dollars reallocated from another investment into TIAA Traditional as well as transfers, rollovers and contributions.

2 Converting some or all of your savings to income benefits (referred to as "annuitization") is a permanent decision. Once income benefit payments have begun, you are unable to change to another option.

3 Prior to rolling over, consider your other options. You may be able to leave money in your current plan, withdraw cash or roll over the assets to a new employer's plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted. Compare the differences in investment options, services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, other plan features and tax treatment. Speak with a TIAA consultant and your tax advisor regarding your situation. Learn more at TIAA.org/reviewyouroptions.
