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.

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.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. economy added 632,000 jobs during the
second quarter of 2018 compared to 655,000 jobs during the first quarter. The economy created
an average of 211,000 jobs over the past three months, above the 12-month average of 198,000.
After holding steady for six straight months at 4.1%, the unemployment rate decreased to 3.9%,
3.8%, and 4.0% throughout the second quarter with a quarterly average of 3.9%.
Finance and professional & business services are the primary drivers of office space demand. The financial services sector added 28,000 jobs as compared to 37,000 in the first quarter of 2018, while the professional and business services sector added 152,000 jobs compared to 140,000 previously. According to data from CB Richard Ellis Econometric Advisors (“CBRE-EA”), demand for both suburban and downtown office space led to a decrease in vacancy, from 13.1% in the first quarter to 13.0% in the second quarter. Vacancy rates declined in 40 of the 63 markets tracked by CBRE-EA.
The national industrial availability rate ticked down to 7.2% in the second quarter, as compared to 7.3% in the first quarter. Overall, availability rates decreased in 39 of the 64 industrial markets
tracked by CBRE-EA. Continuing strength in domestic economic fundamentals including gains in employment, real disposable income, and households’ net worth continue to be supportive of
strong consumer activity, suggesting that the industrial sector still has ways to go in its growth
cycle.
The national apartment vacancy rate decreased to 4.6% in the second quarter from 5.0% in the first quarter. Of the 66 apartment markets tracked by CBRE-EA, data indicates that vacancy rates increased in 35 markets, and remained unchanged in three. Market conditions are expected to continue to soften as new supply delivers, however many markets have room to tighten. Generally, the U.S. economy continues to support strong rental demand and solid growth, but the evolving balance of supply and demand and increased competition has led to moderation in rent growth and increased concessions.
Preliminary data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that retail sales excluding motor vehicles
and parts increased 1.7% during the second quarter when compared to the first quarter. Further,
the previous quarter had a quarter-over-quarter growth of nearly half, at 0.8%. Availability rates
decreased to 9.3% for the second quarter as compared to 9.4% during the first quarter. Economic
conditions have led to increased consumer spending, potentially resulting in a higher demand for retail space in the coming quarters.
