Learn about retirement mutual fund options at campus forums

Representatives from TIAA-CREF will be on campus in July for group presentations and individual meetings about the company's new retirement investment accounts. Since June 1, TIAA-CREF has offered nine mutual fund accounts, in addition to its 10 annuity products.

The nine mutual funds are intended to give participants more options for diversifying -- or focusing -- their investment strategies. The mutual funds focus on specific segments of the market, for example, real estate products, international companies, companies that pass specific social screens, and companies that show better than average potential for growth.

General presentations on the new products and how to sign up for them are scheduled for 9 a.m. and noon as follows:

9 a.m. meetings

July 8, 2050 Agronomy
July 8, 301 Spedding
