Yahoo Finance 3 TIAA Mutual Funds for Solid Returns
The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America Fund (TIAA), which was formerly known as TIAA CREF, was established in 1918. Currently managed by Nuveen, it offers a variety of assets such as equities, fixed-income, real estate and many more. These investment options focus on providing returns while adhering to investment principles. Returns are updated monthly, providing investors with timely insights. TIAA mutual funds provide a reliable anchor during market volatility with a disciplined approach to risk management.
Also, mutual funds, in general, diversify one’s portfolio without several commission charges that are mainly associated with stock purchases and trim transaction costs (read more: Mutual Funds: Advantages, Disadvantages, and How They Make Investors Money).
