TIAA builds financial security for the people who shape our future. Founded in 1918 through the philanthropy of Andrew Carnegie, TIAA began with a singular mission: to help educators retire with dignity. Today, the organization manages over $250 billion in assets and serves millions of professionals in academic, medical, cultural, and research fields. TIAA offers a comprehensive suite of financial products including retirement plans, annuities, investment solutions, and banking services.
What sets TIAA apart is its commitment to those who serve others. The company operates with a values-driven culture that prioritizes long-term financial wellness over short-term gains. TIAA's unique heritage as a nonprofit founded specifically for educators shapes its approach to financial services. The organization continues to expand its mission, now fighting for retirement security for all Americans with guaranteed lifetime income solutions and outcome-focused investment strategies. TIAA combines over a century of expertise with modern innovation to help people achieve the secure retirement they deserve.
