About Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA)

TIAA, formerly TIAA-CREF, operates as a financial services group that supplies retirement services to people in academic, research, medical, cultural and governmental fields. Its origins go back to 1918, when Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie Foundation helped set up a pension system for professors. A 1997 tax law ended its tax exemption, and it now runs as a non-profit board overseeing taxable subsidiaries. Its headquarters address is 730 Third Avenue in New York City.

Its offerings include retirement plans, annuities, mutual funds, and brokerage accounts, along with financial planning and wealth management services. Some products, such as certain annuities and the Investment Solutions IRA, are limited to people connected with nonprofit schools, hospitals, museums, libraries and similar institutions. The organization's New York State location directory lists offices in Amherst, Ithaca, Latham, Melville, New York, Rochester, Syracuse and White Plains. The sources reviewed do not describe any legal practice areas, so none are listed here.
