Portfolio Strategies
 
 Performance
This variable annuity account seeks favorable long-term returns primarily through rental income and appreciation of real estate and real estate-related investments owned by the Account. The Account will also invest in non-real estate-related publicly traded securities and short-term higher quality liquid investments that are easily converted to cash to enable the Account to meet participant redemption requests, purchase or improve properties or cover other expense needs. The Account intends to have between 75% and 85% of its net assets invested directly in real estate or real estate-related assets with the goal of producing favorable long-term returns. The Account’s principal strategy is to purchase direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate, primarily office, industrial, retail and multi-family residential properties. The Account may also make foreign real estate investments. Under the Account’s investment guidelines, investments in direct foreign real estate, together with foreign real estate-related securities and foreign non-real estate-related liquid investments may not comprise more than 25% of the Account’s net assets. The Account will invest the remaining portion of its assets (targeted between 15% and 25% of net assets) in publicly traded, liquid investments.

The returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate. Current performance may be higher or lower than that shown, and you may have a gain or a loss when you redeem your accumulation units. For current performance information, including performance to the most recent month-end, please visit TIAA.org, or call 800-842-2252. Performance may reflect waivers or reimbursements of certain expenses. Absent these waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance may be lower.
 
1    The total annual expense deduction, which includes investment management, administration, and distribution expenses, mortality and expense risk charges, and the liquidity guarantee, is estimated each year based on projected expense and asset levels. Differences between actual expenses and the estimate are adjusted quarterly and are reflected in current investment results. Historically, adjustments have been small.
 
2    The Account’s total annual expense deduction appears in the Account’s prospectus, and may be different than that shown herein due to rounding. Please refer to the prospectus for further details.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. economy added 581,000 jobs during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 498,000 jobs during the first quarter of 2017. The economy created an average of 194,000 jobs over the past three months, more than enough to absorb the increase in the labor force. The unemployment rate ended the second quarter at 4.4%, down from 4.5% from the first quarter, matching its 2007 low.
Finance and professional and business services are the primary drivers of office space demand. In the second quarter, the financial services sector added 46,000 jobs as compared to 39,000 in the first quarter of 2017, while professional and business services employment added 137,000 jobs as compared to 152,000 previously. CB Richard Ellis Econometric Advisors (“CBRE-EA”) reported that national office vacancy went unchanged at 13.0% in the second quarter, closing in on its 2007 low of 12.4%. Vacancy rates declined in 31 of the 63 office markets tracked by CBRE-EA.
The national industrial availability rate edged down to 7.8% in 2Q17 from 7.9% in the first quarter. The 2Q decrease follows the prior quarter’s uptick, which was the only increase after the sector’s 27th consecutive quarterly decline – the longest period on record. CBRE-EA noted that increasing supply contributed to the first quarter uptick in the availability rate while second quarter completions were weaker than expected. Availability rates decreased in 42 of the 64 industrial markets tracked by CBRE-EA.
The national apartment vacancy rate increased for the fifth consecutive quarter on a year-over-year basis to 4.6%, up from 4.4% during second quarter 2016. (Year-over-year comparisons are necessary due to seasonal leasing patterns.) CBRE-EA data indicate that vacancy rates increased in 46 of the 65 apartment markets tracked, while four markets went unchanged. Vacancy rates are expected to soften in many markets as new supply continues to deliver. The apartment market is expected to stabilize over the next two years, as the pipeline diminishes.
Preliminary data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that retail sales excluding motor vehicles and parts increased 0.2% from first quarter 2017 and 3.5% over second quarter 2016 sales. Lower gasoline prices contributed to weakened retail sales. CBRE-EA data indicate that retail market conditions remained steady during the second quarter as the national availability rate held at 10.1% for the third consecutive quarter.
