PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING
TIAA-CREFs
Five Easy Steps
Your Retirement
I Look for ratings.
Check out how an insurance company has been
rated by the three leading tarings analysts: A. M. Best
Company, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Inves
tors Service. TIAA has earned the highest ratings:
A++(Superior) from A.M Best, AAA from Standard &
Poor’s and Aaa from Moody’s.
4 Look for reputation and resources.
TIAA-CREF has been serving the education
and research communities for over 70 years.
We can help you with all your retirement
needs, and you get a full range of products along with a
variety of services that are absolutely free.
2 Look for rotes.
TIAA offers a guaranteed minimum rate of
3%, plus dividends (which are declared
annually). New premiums to TIAA Retire
ment Annuities currently earn 7.5%* (guaranteed
interest plus dividends), while our “old money” earns
between 8% and 8.5%, depending on the year the
funds were received and the actual investment
performance that year.
5 Look for low expense charges.
With TIAA-CREF, each dollar invested on
your behalf is working for you right from the
beginning. We have no sales charges of any
kind, and only a minimal expense/operating charge is
deducted each year from overall annuity assets.
3 Look for o combination of safety and growth.
TTAA’s traditional annuity gives you security,
while CREF’s variable annuity gives you the
choice of several distinct and diversified invest
ment accounts. Like all variable annuities, returns will
fluctuate and are not guaranteed.

municator, but he was just giving
'BS' (Sunday night). He was say
ing whatever needed to be done
would get done, but I don't think
he realizes the intensity of the
position."
Steve Rosner, a senior market
ing major, agreed. Perot provid
ed nothing more than a pep talk,
he said.
"He was just a cheerleader,"
he said. "He was trying to pump-
up the crowd. Perot didn't have
any plans. He basically didn't
say anything."
Sweeney felt that Clinton
fared better than Bush in the ex
changes between the two. Bush
did not motivate the crowd
while Clinton offered appealing
ideas of change, she said.
"He wasn't as intense as he
needed to be. He didn't provoke
the enthusiasm in me. But the
things Clinton said convinced
me that maybe he is the change
" I don't think Bush knows the
first thing about domestic
affairs, or solving any of our
domestic problems."
- Kimberly Smith, a senior from
Cypress
"Perot came out ahead because
of his platform. He has more to
offer people. "

Johnson thought Bush was
"basically effective," but said he
was disappointed that Bush
missed many opportunities to
define his position against Clin
ton.
"He (Bush) could have re
sponded in different ways,"
Johnson said. "Like, whenCi
ton would say something about
health care, I thought ofathoii’
sand different responses thante
ones Bush gave."
Dan Quayle, Sen. Al Gore and
James Stockdale will faceoff
tonight at 6 in the vice pres
idential debate in Atlanta.
