4 For stability, claims-paying ability and overall financial strength, Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) is one of only three insurers in the United States to currently hold the highest possible rating available to U.S. insurers from all four leading insurance company rating agencies: A.M. Best (A++ rating affirmed as of July 25, 2025 ), Fitch (AAA rating affirmed as of February 13, 2026), Standard & Poor’s (AA+ rating affirmed as of August 27, 2025), and Moody’s Investors Service (Aa1 rating affirmed as of February 12, 2026). There is no guarantee that current ratings will be maintained. The financial strength ratings represent a company’s ability to meet policyholders’ obligations and do not apply to variable annuities or any other product or service not fully backed by TIAA’s claims-paying ability. The ratings also do not apply to the safety or the performance of the variable accounts or investment products, which will fluctuate in value.

6 Any guarantees under annuities issued by TIAA are subject to TIAA’s claims-paying ability. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Guarantees of fixed monthly payments are only associated with fixed annuities.
7 TIAA may share profits with TIAA Secure Income Account owners through declared additional amounts of interest during accumulation, higher initial annuity income, and through further increases in annuity income benefits during retirement. TIAA fixed annuity interest and income benefits include guaranteed amounts plus additional amounts as may be established on a year-by-year basis by the TIAA Board of Trustees. The additional amounts, when declared, remain in effect through the “declaration year,” which begins each March 1 for accumulating annuities and January 1 for payout annuities. Additional amounts are not guaranteed beyond the period for which they are declared. Lifetime income payments from TIAA Secure Income Account may include a TIAA Loyalty Bonus® which is discretionary and determined annually.
8. Guarantees are only applicable to the amount allocated to the fixed annuity portion of the solution. The value of the rest of the solution isn’t guaranteed at any time, and will fluctuate with market changes and investors may lose money. Asset allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Additionally, there is no guarantee this investment option will provide adequate income at or through retirement.
