The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires the TIAA-CREF Life Separate Account VA-1 (which offers the Personal Annuity Select, Lifetime Variable Select and Single Premium Immediate Annuity contracts) and the TIAA-CREF Life Separate Account VLI-1 (which offers the Variable Universal Life and Intelligent Life contracts) to provide investors with periodic reports on the financial condition and portfolio holdings of the funds in which the accounts invest. The funding vehicles for these accounts are the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. The returns of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds shown here do not reflect the administrative expense and the mortality and expense risk charges deducted under the products mentioned above. Because of these additional deductions, the returns on the investment subaccounts offered through the contracts that invest in these funds are lower, for the same periods, than the figures shown here.

Investments in the TIAA-CREF Life Money Market Fund are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The current yield more closely reflects current earnings than does the total return. We will attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share for this fund, but it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

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 above, and you may have a gain or a loss when you redeem your shares.

Report on TIAA-CREF Life Funds

During the first half of 2006, investors drove stock prices higher and then engaged in a sell-off that erased a sizable portion of the year’s gains. The Russell 3000^® Index, which measures the broad U.S. stock market, was up 5.3% in the first quarter but dropped 2% in the second, ending the six-month period with a return of 3.2%.

Investors changed course largely out of fear that higher interest rates and increased energy prices would derail economic growth and reduce corporate profits.

The Federal Reserve reacts to rising prices

The year began with the U.S. economy in high gear. The nation’s Gross Domestic Product jumped by 5.6% in the first quarter of 2006, but this surging growth—along with the rising cost of energy—raised the threat of higher inflation. At the end of March, the Consumer Price Index was up 3.4% from its level of a year earlier.

In response to robust growth and rising inflation, the Federal Reserve continued the credit-tightening policy it began in June 2004. It raised short-term interest rates four times during the first half of 2006, and these hikes helped push longer-term rates higher, too.

The yield on 10-year Treasury notes, which serves as the benchmark for the bond market, went from 4.39% at the end of December 2005 to 5.14% at the end of June 2006.

During the six-month period, returns varied widely among asset classes.

Bonds fade, foreign stocks shine

Rising yields on newly issued bonds reduced the market value of the bonds already held in many investment portfolios. Income from interest on bond holdings offset some of that decline, but the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which measures the investment-grade bond market, posted a 0.7% loss for the six-month period.

Foreign stocks remained one of the brighter parts of the investment landscape. During the period, a stronger euro and pound boosted the MSCI EAFE^® Index to a 10.2% return, in terms of U.S. dollars. The EAFE index tracks 21 stock markets in developed nations outside North America.

Over the five years ended June 30, 2006, the foreign stocks of the EAFE

4 | 2006 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Life Funds

index have produced a cumulative return of 61.5%, versus the 18.9% return of U.S. stocks, as measured by the Russell 3000.

Funds post mixed results

During the six-month period, returns varied widely among asset classes, and, accordingly, among the ten TIAA-CREF Life Funds as well.

Returns for the equity funds ranged from –2.7% for the Growth Equity Fund to 12.0% for the Real Estate Securities Fund. The International Equity Fund, which invests in foreign stocks, returned 11.1%.

The decline in U.S. bond prices continued to hamper the fixed-income market. The Bond Fund posted a return of –0.5%.

The Federal Reserve’s ongoing program of rate hikes lifted money market rates throughout the six-month period, and the Money Market Fund posted a gain of 2.4%.

Our strategy is to stay fully invested

Throughout the period, each of our funds remained fully invested in order to participate in any gains achieved by its market segment. At the same time, we continued to pay close attention to costs, delivering highly disciplined investment management along with some of the lowest expense ratios in the industry.

Special terms

Agency securities are bonds issued by U.S. government entities such as Fannie Mae.

Asset-backed securities are bonds backed by loans or by the outstanding amounts owed to a bank, credit card company or other lender.

Benchmarks (benchmark indexes) are groups of securities, such as the Russell 3000^® Index or S&P 500^® Index, whose performance can be used as a standard by which to judge the performance of a fund.*

Commercial paper refers to short-term debt obligations issued to investors by banks, corporations and other borrowers. Maturities range from 1 to 270 days.

Expense ratio is the amount that investors pay for the management of a fund. The amount is expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. Expense ratios do not include front-end or back-end sales charges, if any, or trading costs. See “Total return.”

Inception date is the first date on which investors can invest in a fund. The fund begins to record investment performance on that date.

Market capitalization is the total value of a company’s outstanding stock. It is calculated by multiplying the total number of a company’s outstanding shares by the current market price per share.

Maturity date is the date on which the principal amount of a note, bond or other debt instrument becomes due or payable.

Mortgage-backed securities are bonds that represent an interest in a pool of mortgages usually issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or other federal entities.

Overweight holding is a security held by a fund. In terms of market capitalization, its percentage of the fund is larger than that same security’s percentage of the benchmark. See also “Underweight holding.”

Peer groups are groupings of funds with a similar objective whose performance can be compared with the performance of a single fund.

Relative performance is the return of a fund in relation to the return of its benchmark index.

Securities is a general name for stocks (also known as “equities”), bonds (also known as “fixed-income securities”) or other investments.

Total return is the amount an investment provides to investors after expenses are deducted. Total return is expressed as a percentage. It includes any interest or dividends, as well as any change in the market value of the investment.

Underweight holding is a security held by a fund. In terms of market capitalization, its percentage of the fund is smaller than that same security’s percentage of the benchmark. See also “Overweight holding.”

Understanding investment risk

All investing involves an element of risk. For example, investors in U.S. Treasury bonds, which are generally considered among the safest of investments, face the risk that inflation will erode their principal and interest over time.

Some kinds of risk apply to all investments; other risks only apply to certain types of securities. For example, the price of any publicly traded security, such as a stock or bond, may decline in response to general market or economic conditions. This is referred to as “market risk.” An example of a risk that applies only to bonds is “credit risk”—the possibility that a company may be unable to repay the principal of its bonds or pay interest on them.

In general, funds that invest in stocks are subject to market risk and company risk. Bond funds are subject to market risk, company risk, interest-rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and income volatility risk. A fund that operates in a limited area of either the stock or bond markets is subject to additional, special risks. For a full explanation of the funds’ risks, please see the prospectus.

The glossary below describes the general risks outlined above, as well as the special risks described in the discussions of each fund.

Company risk is the risk that the earnings prospects and overall financial position of the issuer of a security will deteriorate, causing a decline in the security’s value over short or extended periods of time.

Credit risk (a type of company risk) is the risk that a decline in a company’s overall financial soundness may make it unable to pay principal and interest on bonds when due.

Dividend risk is the risk associated with investments in stocks paying relatively high dividends. These stocks may significantly underperform other stocks during periods of rapid market appreciation.

Extension risk is the risk that the value of certain fixed-income securities will decline because principal payments have not been made as early as possible.

Foreign investment risks are the risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, in securities or contracts traded on foreign exchanges or in foreign markets, or in securities or contracts payable in foreign currency. Foreign investing involves special risks, including erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These investment risks may be magnified in emerging markets.

Growth investing risks include the risk that, due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks will be more volatile than value stocks. In addition, the value of growth stocks is generally a function of their expected earnings growth. If that growth fails to occur or to be sustained, share prices can be adversely affected.

Illiquid security risk is the risk that investments in illiquid securities may be difficult to sell for their fair market value.

Income volatility risk is the risk that the level of current income from a portfolio of fixed-income securities may decline in certain interest-rate environments.

8 | 2006 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Life Funds

Index risk is the risk that a fund’s performance will not match the performance of its benchmark index for any particular period of time. Although certain funds attempt to closely track the investment performance of their indexes, they may not duplicate the composition of these indexes. In addition, a fund’s performance, unlike that of its index, is affected by investment and other operating expenses.

Interest-rate risk (a type of market risk) is the risk that bond prices or a fund’s income may decline if interest rates change.

Large-cap risk is the risk that, by focusing on investments in securities of larger companies, a fund may have fewer opportunities to identify securities that the market misprices. In addition, larger companies may grow more slowly than the economy as a whole or not at all.

Market risk is the risk that the price of securities may decline in response to general market and economic conditions or events.

Prepayment risk is the risk that certain fixed-income securities that allow for the prepayment of principal will decline in value, and that a fund’s income will decline as a result.

Real estate investing risks are the risks associated with real estate ownership, including fluctuations in property values, higher expenses or lower income than expected, and potential environmental problems and liability.

Real estate securities risk is the risk that a fund that concentrates its investments in real estate securities and holds securities of relatively few issuers may experience greater fluctuations in value and be subject to a greater risk of loss than other mutual funds.

Reorganization risk is the risk that the stock of a company will lose value because the company is involved in a reorganization or some other special situation.

Risk of socially screened investing is the possibility that, because its social screens exclude some investments, a fund will not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as funds that do not use such criteria.

Small-cap risk is the risk that the securities of smaller companies may experience steeper fluctuations in price than those of larger companies. These securities may also have to be sold at a discount from their current market prices or in small lots over an extended period.

Style risk is the risk that a fund’s style—whether growth-investing or value-investing—will pass out of favor in the marketplace for various periods of time.

Value investing risks are the risks that (1) the issuer’s potential business prospects may not be realized; (2) the securities’ potential values may never be recognized by the market; and (3) due to unanticipated problems associated with the issuer or industry, the securities were appropriately priced (or overpriced) when acquired.

Important information about expenses

DISCLOSURE

Shareholders in the TIAA-CREF Life Funds incur only one of two potential types of costs.

•

Shareholders incur no transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends or on other distributions. There are also no redemption fees or exchange fees.

•

However, they do incur ongoing costs, including management fees.

The TIAA-CREF Life Funds are the underlying investment vehicles for certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company. These contracts have additional administrative expense fees and mortality and expense risk charges. Because of these additional deductions, the costs to investors will be higher than the figures shown in the expense examples.

The examples that appear on the performance pages are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each fund. The examples are also designed to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples assume $1,000 was invested on January 1, 2006, and held for six months until June 30, 2006.

Actual expenses

The first line in each table uses the fund’s actual expenses and its actual rate of return. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six-month period.

Simply divide your fund value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 fund value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses paid” to estimate the expenses you paid during the six-month period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the table shows hypothetical fund values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio for the six-month period and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses—which is not the fund’s actual return.

Do not use the hypothetical fund values and hypothetical expenses to estimate the actual expenses you paid for the period. Instead, you can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in an individual fund with the ongoing costs of other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Growth Equity Fund | Large-cap growth stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Growth Equity Fund returned –2.74% for the period, trailing the –0.93% return of the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index, and the –1.32% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Growth category.

Growth sharply lags value

A global stock rally helped lift large-cap growth stocks 3.09% in the first quarter. However, they declined 3.90% in the second quarter, when a spike in the U.S. inflation rate rattled investors and caused a sell-off that hit technology stocks hardest.

For the six-month period, large-cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, trailed the 6.56% gain of the Russell 1000 Value Index and the 3.23% rise of the broad-market Russell 3000^® Index.

For the ten years ended June 30, 2006, the gap between the average annual returns of large-cap growth and large-cap value stocks widened to almost five and one-half percentage points.

Largest sectors stifle returns

The decline in large-cap growth stocks for the six-month period was driven by losses in the benchmark’s two largest sectors, technology and health care. Comprising more than 40% of the Russell 1000 Growth Index, these sectors fell 6.7% and 5.7%, respectively, and lagged all the other sectors of the benchmark. In contrast, the two largest sectors of the Russell 1000 Value Index, financials and utilities, advanced 4.4% and 9.4%, respectively.

Declining stocks lead to losses

Overweight positions in several stocks that did not perform as anticipated explain much of the fund’s underperformance. These stocks included St. Jude Medical, the largest detractor, as well as eBay and software maker Adobe Systems. A position in Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical, a stock not included in the benchmark, also hurt performance. Teva was held as an American Depositary Receipt (a receipt for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange).

These declines were partly offset by the positive effects of underweights such as chip maker Intel and UnitedHealth Group, an HMO. A position in oil field services provider Schlumberger Limited, a stock not held in the benchmark, and an overweight in computer company Network Appliance also added value.

On June 30, 2006, foreign securities made up 4.94% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts.

TIAA-CREF Life Funds 2006 Semiannual Report | 11

Growth Equity Fund | Large-cap growth stocks

Investment objective

The fund seeks a favorable long-term return, mainly through capital appreciation, primarily from equity securities.

Special investment risks

In addition to the risks of any equity investment, the fund is subject to special risks, including growth investing risks, large-cap risk, style risk, foreign investment risks and reorganization risk. For a further discussion of risk, please see page 8.

The fund’s benchmark

The Russell 1000^® Growth Index is a subset of the Russell 1000 Index, which measures the performance of the stocks of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000^® Index, based on market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of those stocks of the Russell 1000 with higher price-to-book ratios and higher relative forecasted growth rates. You cannot invest directly in these indexes.

PERFORMANCE

Fund expenses–six months ended June 30, 2006

The expense examples that appear below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund. They are also designed to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. (The costs shown do not reflect any separate account fees or expenses deducted under the variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts using the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. If those fees or expenses were included, the costs would be higher.)

The examples assume $1,000 was invested on January 1, 2006, and held for six months until June 30, 2006. Please see page 8 for a full description of the assumptions on which these examples are based and an explanation of how you can use this expense information.

Growth & Income Fund | Large-cap, dividend-paying stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Growth & Income Fund returned 2.64% for the period, closely tracking the 2.71% return of the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500^® Index, and topping the 2.40% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

S&P trails the broad market

A global stock rally helped lift the large-cap stocks of the S&P 500 4.21% in the first quarter. However, the index slipped 1.44% in the second quarter when a spike in the U.S. inflation rate startled investors. For the six-month period, the S&P 500 trailed the 3.23% return of the broad-market Russell 3000^® Index, which benefited from continuing strength in small- and mid-cap issues.

Two large sectors post losses

Although eight of the S&P 500’s ten industry sectors recorded positive returns, two of the largest, information technology and health care—together comprising more than one-quarter of the market capitalization of the index—fell 5.9% and 3.8%, respectively.

The energy sector, which made up about one-tenth of the index, rose 13.7%. The considerably smaller telecommunications services sector was the only other sector with a double-digit gain, rising 13.8%.

Stock selections produce mixed results

The fund’s return slightly trailed the benchmark’s because of numerous stock selections that did not perform as anticipated. These included three stocks in the health care sector that were overweight relative to the benchmark: insurer Cigna, medical products maker Boston Scientific and Coventry Health Care.

The negative effects of these holdings were partly offset by stock selections that added value, relative to the benchmark. The top contributor to performance was French industrial giant Alstom, a stock not included in the index. Successful overweights included Occidental Petroleum, computer graphics company Nvidia and Marathon Oil. Underweights such as UnitedHealth Group, an HMO, and chip maker Intel also helped returns.

On June 30, 2006, foreign securities made up 7.69% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts (receipts for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange).

International Equity Fund | Foreign stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The International Equity Fund returned 11.11% for the period, topping both the 10.16% return of the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE^® Index, and the 8.89% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category.

Weak dollar boosts foreign stock gains

Gains for foreign stocks were concentrated in the first quarter of 2006, when the fund’s benchmark jumped 9.40%. Momentum reversed sharply in May, and the benchmark struggled to eke out a positive second quarter. A weaker dollar helped: during the quarter the EAFE lost 4.25% in terms of local currencies but gained 0.70% in dollar terms.

For the six-month period, the dollar’s weakness converted the EAFE’s 3.59% return in local currencies to 10.16% in dollars. This double-digit gain was more than triple the 3.23% return of the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000^® Index.

European stocks drive the benchmark

During the period, the benchmark’s European segment rose 13.58%, fueled by strong performance in France (up 16.06%), the United Kingdom (up 13.61%) and Germany (up 13.41%). Stocks in these three countries constituted more than 40% of the benchmark’s market capitalization. The Pacific segment was up a modest 3.53%, constrained by the relatively tame 1.91% return of the benchmark’s Japanese stocks, which are its largest component.

Successful stock selections lift returns

Positions in many well-performing stocks enabled the fund to outpace its benchmark. Among the largest contributors were overweights in Finnish energy company Fortum, Italian car maker Fiat and British brokerage company Man Group. A position in Swiss private bank Julius Baer, which was not in the benchmark, also aided returns.

The positive effects of these holdings were partly offset by positions in a number of underperforming stocks not listed in the benchmark. These included two Japanese companies, magnet maker Neomax and credit company Orient Corporation, as well as Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical. Teva was held as an American Depositary Receipt (a receipt for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange). Overweights in Switzerland’s Zurich Financial Services and Germany’s Deutsche Post also detracted from returns.

On June 30, 2006, stocks of companies in emerging markets, which are not included in the benchmark, made up approximately 2.5% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

Large-Cap Value Fund | Value stocks of larger companies

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Large-Cap Value Fund advanced 6.52% for the period, keeping pace with the strong 6.56% return of the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Value Index, and topping the 4.71% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Value category.

Value beats growth again

At the end of 2005, the annual return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, which measures large-cap value stocks, had outperformed that of the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which tracks large-cap growth stocks, for six years in a row.

That pattern continued in the first quarter of 2006, when large-cap value returned 5.93%, versus 3.09% for large-cap growth. Furthermore, in the sell-off that began in May, large-cap value stocks held up much better. For the second quarter, large-cap value gained 0.59% while large-cap growth posted a 3.90% loss.

Largest sectors drive gains

During the six-month period, the gains of the Russell 1000 Value Index were boosted by the 9.4% return of its second-largest sector, utilities, and the 13.2% return of its third-largest sector, integrated oils. Together, these two sectors made up nearly a quarter of the index in terms of market capitalization. These outsized gains were tempered by the more modest 4.4% return of the financial sector, which comprised more than a third of the index.

Selections fuel fund’s strong gains

An overweight position, relative to the benchmark, in Sears Holdings was the top contributor to the fund’s gains. Performance was also helped by stock selections that included several nonbenchmark stocks, such as French industrial giant Alstom, semiconductor manufacturer Atmel and computer network provider Brocade Communications.

These positive results were partly offset by positions in stocks that did not perform as anticipated. Four of these were nonbenchmark stocks, including medical products maker Boston Scientific—the largest detractor, RadioShack, and two Japanese companies, conglomerate Sojitz and real estate developer Daikyo.

On June 30, 2006, foreign securities made up 12.51% of the fund’s total portfolio investments. Many of these securities were held as American Depositary Receipts (a receipt for shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange).

Small-Cap Equity Fund | Stocks of smaller companies

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Small-Cap Equity Fund returned 9.03% for the period, outpacing the 8.21% return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Index, and the 7.01% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Small Blend category.

Small caps take the lead

For the six-month period, small caps scored gains that were more than twice the 3.23% return of the broad U.S. market, as measured by the Russell 3000^® Index.

Small caps lagged large- and mid-cap stocks in 2005, but investors showed a fresh appetite for risk in the first quarter of 2006, and small caps jumped 13.94%. It was more than triple their return for all of 2005.

However, investors became worried over increases in oil prices and in interest rates, and small caps gave back 5.02% in the second quarter. This drop was considerably steeper than that of the overall market, which fell 1.98%.

Three sectors drive returns

For the period, all twelve of the benchmark’s sectors moved upward, and eight posted double-digit gains. The largest contribution to the benchmark’s return came from the 8.9% rise of financial stocks, which made up more than one-fifth of the index in terms of market capitalization on June 30.

Outsized gains in materials and processing (up 17.6%) and in producer durables (up 15.2%) also boosted the benchmark’s performance. The smallest return came from the health care sector (up 0.2%).

Stock picks lift the fund above the benchmark

Advantageous stock weightings enabled the fund to outperform its benchmark during the period. These included overweight holdings, relative to the benchmark, in oil companies Alon USA Energy and Frontier Oil, construction company Emcor and Jones Lang LaSalle, a real estate company.

These positive results were partly offset by overweight positions in several stocks that did not perform as anticipated, such as medical devices maker Thoratec, fashion retailer New York & Company and Internet provider Earthlink. An underweight investment in Hansen Natural, a beverage maker, also reduced returns slightly.

The fund continued to use proprietary mathematical models to evaluate and choose small-cap stocks that appeared to be attractively priced.

Stock Index Fund | U.S. stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Stock Index Fund returned 3.21% for the period, closely tracking the 3.23% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000^® Index, and topping the 2.40% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category.

Second-quarter slide erodes gains

In response to a strong global economy and healthy corporate earnings growth, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, climbed 5.31% in the first quarter of 2006. Stocks reversed course in the second quarter, however, in reaction to rising interest rates and the threat of inflation. The Russell 3000 fell 1.98%, giving back more than a third of its first-quarter gain. For the six months, the Russell 3000 failed to keep pace with the 10.16% advance of foreign stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE^® Index.

Technology and health care dampen returns

Nine of the benchmark’s twelve sectors showed positive returns for the six months, and five sectors—utilities, autos and transportation, integrated oils, materials and processing, and “other energy”—produced double-digit gains. However, the benchmark’s overall return was trimmed by losses in technology and health care. These two sectors, which represented more than a quarter of the Russell 3000’s market capitalization on June 30, 2006, fell 4% and 3.3%, respectively. Financials, the largest sector in the benchmark, rose 4.4%, while the second-largest, consumer discretionary, returned just 1%.

Two of the largest stocks post losses

Returns for the benchmark’s five largest companies varied widely, reflecting the divergent performance of their industry sectors. In descending order according to cap size, these stocks performed as follows: ExxonMobil, 10.4%; General Electric, –4.5%; Citigroup, 1.5%; Bank of America, 6.5%; and Microsoft, –10.3%.

Returns for the Russell 3000 were boosted by the 8.21% return of small-cap stocks and the 4.84% return of mid caps. Together, small- and mid-cap stocks made up about one-third of the index on June 30, 2006. Large-cap stocks gained just 2.76%.

For the period, the fund’s return was comparable to that of the benchmark, minus the effects of expenses and of some cash holdings for liquidity. The fund also had a risk profile similar to that of the benchmark.

Social Choice Equity Fund | Socially screened stocks

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Social Choice Equity Fund returned 2.71% for the period, trailing the 3.23% gain of its benchmark, the Russell 3000^® Index. However, the fund surpassed the 2.40% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Large Blend category. Unlike the fund, the benchmark and the Morningstar category do not screen investments according to social criteria.

Social screens hinder performance

The fund’s social screens prevented it from investing in several stocks that are large components of the Russell 3000 in terms of market capitalization. During the period, the net effect of these exclusions was to reduce the fund’s return in relation to the return of its benchmark.

Exclusion of oil stocks trims gains

The largest drag on relative performance during the period was the exclusion of ExxonMobil, which gained 10.4%. The fund’s performance was also reduced by the omission of other well-performing stocks that included Caterpillar, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and agricultural giant Archer Daniels Midland.

However, avoiding General Electric helped returns because the stock fell 4.5%. The omission of Yahoo!, Dow Chemical, insurer American International Group and drug maker Genentech also had positive effects on performance.

Coca-Cola and JPMorgan Chase were dropped from the portfolio during the second quarter because they failed the qualitative social screens used to evaluate stocks. Bank of America was added to the list of major holdings.

Statistical techniques help manage risk

The fund’s managers use statistical techniques to ensure that the portfolio’s risk characteristics resemble those of the index. One method is to overweight or underweight certain stocks relative to each one’s percentage of capitalization within the benchmark.

During the period, relative performance suffered from overweight holdings in chip maker Intel; Medtronic, a medical products manufacturer; and UnitedHealth Group, an HMO. Other overweights, however, including Disney, steel producer Nucor and OGE Energy, a gas and electric company, boosted returns.

Real Estate Securities Fund | Real estate securities

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Real Estate Securities Fund returned 12.01% for the period, trailing the 14.08% return of its benchmark, the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index, and the 12.46% average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Specialty Real Estate category.

REITs deliver, while other asset classes disappoint

For the six-month period, the return of real estate investment trusts (REITs) was far ahead of the 3.23% gain of the Russell 3000^® Index, which tracks the broad U.S. equity market. REITs also trounced the 1.60% rise of high-yield bonds and the 0.72% loss of investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.

An up-and-down first half for REITs

Three factors helped lift the benchmark to a 15.42% first-quarter surge. First, REITs became a hotbed of mergers-and-acquisition activity; investors hoped to profit if the companies went private. Second, institutional investors who had previously sold REITs and taken profits began buying them again for fear of missing out on another big run-up. Finally, a sharp rise in home prices increased demand for apartment REITs.

In the second quarter, income-seeking investors took advantage of rising interest rates and bought Treasuries instead. In addition, REITs’ own high valuations prompted investors to take profits. The upshot was that the benchmark gave back 1.16%.

Strong gains trail the benchmark

For the six months, the fund’s return was strong in absolute terms and superior to those of many other income-producing assets as well as to returns from the U.S. stock market. However, the fund’s advance lagged the benchmark’s, due in part to overweight selections in office REITs. Holdings in mortgage REITs and specialty finance REITs also hurt returns; by the end of the period, the fund had eliminated nearly all its holdings in these two out-of-benchmark sectors.

Performance was enhanced slightly by underweight holdings in diversified REITs and overweights in industrial REITs.

The fund’s portfolio manager was replaced in February, and a new management team was assembled. This group first used some transitional strategies to make adjustments to the portfolio. Then the team focused on the attributes of particular companies rather than on broad economic conditions in order to add attractively valued benchmark stocks. The goal was to boost relative performance while limiting risk.

Bond Fund | Intermediate-term bonds

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Bond Fund returned –0.53% for the period, compared with the –0.72% return of its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index. The average return of similar funds, as measured by the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond category, was –0.73%.

Short-term rates keep rising

On January 31, the Federal Reserve met for the final time under Alan Greenspan and continued its slow-but-steady tightening of credit, raising the federal funds rate (the rate that banks charge one another for overnight loans) by a quarter point, to 4.50%. Many observers expected the economy to weaken, making further increases unnecessary.

Instead, the economy got stronger. On March 28, with Ben Bernanke at the helm, the Fed mandated another quarter-point boost. At both its January and March meetings, the central bank expressed concerns about the effects of high energy prices and the surging economy.

On May 10, the Fed raised rates yet again, and investors feared that this campaign to subdue inflation would end up tipping the economy into recession. Stock prices tumbled worldwide.

Short-term and long-term yields zigzag

Purchasers of longer-dated bonds usually receive higher yields, which compensate them for the risk that inflation will erode the value of their interest payments. However, when 2006 began, 10-year Treasuries yielded 4.39%—less than the 4.40% for 2-year Treasuries. During the six-month period, both yields advanced, and each took the lead in turn. The 2-year note was ahead in early June and finished with a 5.15% to 5.14% advantage over the 10-year note.

Bond prices, which move inversely to yields, fell during the period, and this drop was only partly offset by rising interest income. Nearly all of the benchmark’s decline came from two sectors: Treasuries, which made up about one-quarter of the index, and corporate bonds, which constituted roughly one-fifth.

The fund’s strategies trim losses

For the period, the fund benefited from an underweight in Treasuries. Also boosting returns were holdings in corporate bonds and mortgage-and asset-backed securities. Both sectors outperformed Treasuries.

Money Market Fund | Cash equivalents

DISCUSSION

Performance in the six months ended June 30, 2006

The Money Market Fund returned 2.35% for the period, topping the 2.05% return of the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report Averages™—All Taxable, a simple average of over 1,000 taxable money market funds.

Fed keeps boosting rates

The year started with the federal funds rate at 4.25%, after a series of quarter-point hikes that began in June 2004. (The federal funds rate is the rate commercial U.S. banks charge one another for overnight loans.) Over the first half of 2006, the Federal Reserve raised the rate four more times, lifting it to 5.25%, its highest level since March 2001.

The Fed said it was reacting to the inflation threat posed by higher prices for energy and other commodities and to signs that the nation was using a high percentage of its productive capacity. Fuller use of capacity often leads to price increases.

LIBOR turns volatile

During the six-month period, the prospect of additional rate increases caused a wide fluctuation in the shape of the LIBOR curve, indicating that market participants were uncertain about future interest rates. (The LIBOR, the interest rate that banks charge one another for loans on the London market, is the most widely used benchmark for short-term rates.) By the end of June, however, the LIBOR curve had flattened considerably.

Asset allocations boost results

The fund maintained a sizable exposure to commercial paper, despite a decline in its supply in the second quarter. Commercial paper generally offered higher returns without appreciably higher risk. On June 30, 2006, securities of this type accounted for 80.4% of the portfolio.

The fund increased its holdings of certificates of deposits and bank notes, from 3.9% on December 31, 2005, to 9.7% at the end of the six-month period. The remaining 9.9% of the fund was invested in government agency securities, versus 14.1% six months earlier.

On June 30, 2006, foreign securities made up 14% of the fund’s total portfolio investments.

During the period, the weighted average maturity of the fund fluctuated between 34 and 47 days. As of June 27, 2006, it stood at 40 days, versus 38 for the average iMoneyNet fund.

Note 1—significant accounting policies

TIAA-CREF Life Funds (the “Funds” or individually, the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust that was organized on August 13, 1998, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Funds consist of ten series (each referred to as a “Fund”). Certain registered separate accounts (“the Account”) of TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company (“TIAA-CREF Life”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”), have various sub-accounts which correspond to and invest in the Funds. The Stock Index Fund commenced operations on December 1, 1998. The Growth Equity, Growth & Income, International Equity and Social Choice Equity Funds commenced operations on March 1, 2000. The Large-Cap Value, Small-Cap Equity and Real Estate Securities Funds commenced operations on September 4, 2002. The Bond and Money Market Funds commenced operations on July 8, 2003. TIAA invested seed money in each of the Funds at its commencement of operations. At June 30, 2006, the Accounts and TIAA held the following amounts in the Funds:

Money Market Fund		32,542,826		12,500,000

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which may require the use of estimates made by management. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.

Valuation of investments: Equity securities listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued based on their sale price on such market or exchange at the close of business on the date of valuation, or at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices if no sale is reported. Net asset value of underlying funds is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Debt securities will generally be valued using prices provided by a pricing service, which may employ various indications of value including but not limited to broker-dealer quotations. Certain debt securities, other than money market instruments, are valued based on the most recent bid price or the equiv - -


112		2006 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Life Funds


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)		continued

alent quoted yield for such securities (or those of comparable maturity, quality and type). Money market instruments (other than those in the Money Market Fund), with maturities of one year or less, are valued in the same manner as debt securities or derived from a pricing matrix that has various types of money market instruments along one axis and various maturities along the other. For the Money Market Fund, all of its investments are valued using the amortized cost method. Investments in other registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. Foreign investments are valued at the closing values of such securities as of the date of valuation under the generally accepted valuation method in the country where traded, converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange on the date of valuation. Stock and bond index futures and options, which are traded on commodities exchanges, are valued at the last sale price as of the close of such commodities exchanges.

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Portfolio securities may also be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees if events materially affecting their value occur between the time their price is determined and the time a Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service, which attempts to calculate a fair value for securities based on numerous factors, including correlations of a security’s price with securities indices and other appropriate indicators, such as American Depositary Receipts and futures contracts. Other factors may also be considered in determining fair value, such as fundamental analytical data, market and trading trends, and public trading of similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over the counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic stock market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. If events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net assets are calculated, such securities may be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Funds have retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for Funds that primarily invest in international securities.

Accounting for investments: Securities transactions and investments in Underlying Funds are accounted for as of the trade date. Interest income is recorded as earned and includes amortization of discounts and premiums using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon thereafter as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Accounting for Real Estate Investments Trusts: The Funds may own shares of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs” or individually, “REIT”). The Real Estate


		TIAA-CREF Life Funds 2006 Semiannual Report		113


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)		continued

Securities Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in such REITs; therefore it may be more affected by economic developments in the real estate industry than would a general equity fund.

REITs report information on the source of their distributions once per year, in January. Such distributions may include one or more of the following components: ordinary income, long-term capital gains or a return of capital. The Funds have estimated what the components of these REIT distributions are and have reflected these amounts accordingly in the financial statements.

Foreign currency transactions and translation: Portfolio investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments made in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of the transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on portfolio investments are included in the net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions include maturities of forward foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, and currency gains and losses between the accrual and receipt dates of portfolio investment income and between the trade and settlement dates of portfolio investment transactions.

Forward foreign currency contracts: The Funds may use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Such contracts are entered into directly with a counterparty and are “marked-to-market” at the end of each day’s trading. The Funds are also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward foreign currency contracts, which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.

Forward foreign currency contracts will be used primarily to protect the Funds from adverse currency movements and will generally not be entered into for terms greater than one year. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund’s investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Statements of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to risks if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of assets and liabilities. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts as of the end of the six month period ended June 30, 2006.


114		2006 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Life Funds


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)		continued

Futures contracts: The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the equity markets or for cash management purposes to remain highly invested in the equity markets while minimizing transaction costs. Buying futures contracts tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument/index, while selling futures contracts tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument/index or hedge other investments. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into a futures contract and variation margin payments are made or received reflecting changes in the value of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the last sale price as of the close of the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Daily changes in the value of such contracts are reflected in net unrealized gains and losses. Gains or losses are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform in accordance with contractual provisions.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts, that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities, or that the counterparty to a contract may default on its obligation to perform. There were no open futures contracts as of the end of the six month period ended June 30, 2006.

Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it is required to have segregated assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments. Credit risks exist on these commitments to the extent of any unrealized gains on the underlying securities purchased and any unrealized losses on the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. In addition to, the normal credit and market risks, transactions with delayed settlement dates may expose the Funds to greater risk that such transactions may not be consummated.

Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities: The Bond Fund invests in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), specially structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The adjustments for interest income due to inflation are reflected in interest income in the Statements of operations. TIPS are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. TIPS are subject to interest rate risk. However, because TIPS have better price protection through inflation adjustments, they tend to perform well in a rising interest-rate environment if rates increase due to inflation.

Restricted securities: Restricted securities held by the Funds, if any, may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the


		TIAA-CREF Life Funds 2006 Semiannual Report		115


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)		continued

Securities Act of 1933. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the risk of investing in securities that are widely held and publicly traded.

Distributions to shareholders: Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds, except for the Money Market Fund, in which case distributions are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and paid annually for each of the Funds to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryovers. Accumulated undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on total investments may include temporary and permanent book and tax differences. Temporary differences will reverse in subsequent periods and are generally due to differing book and tax treatments for the timing and recognition of gains and losses on securities, forwards, and futures, including post-October losses. Permanent differences will result in reclassifications among the respective components of net assets and are generally due to REIT adjustments, foreign currency transactions, distribution reclassifications, and gains on certain equity securities designated and issued by “passive foreign investment companies”.

Income taxes: The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that they distribute all taxable income each year and comply with various other Code requirements. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to a Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.

Foreign taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Funds invest.

Transactions with affiliates: The Funds may purchase or sell investment securities in transactions with affiliated entities under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940. These transactions are effected at market rates without incurring broker commissions.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Also, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the Trustees and Officers of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Note 2—management agreement

Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TIAA and a registered investment adviser, provides investment advisory services for the Funds pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement between Advisors and the Funds. Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, each Fund pays a fee for investment management services, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, Advisors received the following annualized percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets:


	Investment Management Fee
Growth Equity Fund	0.25	%
Growth & Income Fund	0.23	%
International Equity Fund	0.29	%
Large-Cap Value Fund	0.24	%

The difference between book basis and tax basis net investment income, net realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization, for tax purposes, of unrealized gains and losses on certain forward foreign currency contracts, on investments in passive foreign investment companies, adjustments for REIT distributions, and the use of capital loss carryovers.

At December 31, 2005, the following funds had capital loss carryovers, which will expire as follows:

Note 5—line of credit

Each of the Funds, except the Bond and Money Market Funds, participates in a $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for temporary purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemptions. Certain affiliated accounts and mutual funds, each of which is managed by Advisors, or an affiliate of Advisors, also participate in this facility. An annual commitment fee for the credit facility is borne by Advisors. Interest associated with any borrowing under the facility by the Funds will be charged to Advisors rates that are based on the Federal Funds Rate in effect during the time of the borrowing. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no borrowings under this credit facility by the Funds.

Note 6—subsequent event

On July 27, 2006, the Funds entered into a four-year agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company to engage in securities lending transactions. Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers consisting of financial institutions and brokers. By lending such securities, the Funds will attempt to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest on collateral (after rebates and fees). The loans will be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned for U.S. securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned for foreign securities. All cash collateral will be invested in the State Street Bank Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio.

Board approval of investment management agreement

TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ Board is responsible for overseeing the TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ corporate policies and for adhering to fiduciary standards under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Most significantly, the Board is responsible for the initial approval and annual renewal of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds’ investment management agreement with Advisors (the “Management Agreement”). Under the Management Agreement, Teachers Advisors, Inc. (“Advisors”) assumes responsibility for providing to, or obtaining for, the TIAA-CREF Life Funds all of the services necessary for their ordinary operation, including investment advisory, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, custody, accounting and administrative services.

In considering whether to renew the Management Agreement, the Board, at its April 3, and May 16, 2006 meetings, reviewed the following factors with respect to each Fund: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Advisors to each Fund; (2) the investment performance of each Fund; (3) the costs of the services provided to each Fund and the profits realized or to be realized by Advisors and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as each Fund grows; (5) whether the level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Advisors with other clients; and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Advisors from its relationship with the Funds. The factors should be viewed in their totality, with no single factor being the principal factor in determining whether to approve the renewal of the Management Agreement.

Set forth below are the general factors the Board considered for all of the Funds, followed by an outline of the specific factors the Board considered for each particular Fund.

The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered that Advisors is an experienced investment adviser that has managed the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds since 1997, the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds and the TIAA-CREF Life Funds since 1999. The investment professionals of Advisors have also managed various accounts of the College Retirement Equities Fund (“CREF”) since their inception. Under the Management Agreement, Advisors is responsible for managing the assets of the Funds, including conducting research, recommending investments and placing orders to buy and sell securities for the Funds’ investment portfolios; active and extensive monitoring of the investment portfolios daily by various personnel with specific responsibility for the particular type of investment in question; and reporting on the investment performance of the Funds to the Boards at their scheduled quarterly meetings. The Board considered that Advisors has carried out these responsibilities in a highly professional manner.

The Board considered, among other things, the performance of each of the Funds, as discussed below.


		TIAA-CREF Life Funds 2006 Semiannual Report		121


Board approval of investment management agreement		continued

Performance. The Board considered the performance of each Fund over the past year, three years, five years and since inception and the Funds’ performance as compared to their peer groups and benchmark indices. The Board considered the comparative performance and expense data for each Fund prepared by an independent third party, Lipper, Inc.’s Global Fiduciary Review unit (“Lipper”) for each pertinent Fund, as well as Fund performance against its performance benchmark. In looking at this data, the Board considered that most of the Funds met their benchmarks over the long-term (when factoring the effect of expenses) and ranked in the top-three quintiles versus their peers, with the exception of the Growth Equity Fund and the Real Estate Securities Fund. For additional detail about each Fund of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds, see the Fund-by-Fund synopsis below.

Cost and Profitability. The Board considered the materials it received reflecting Advisors’ revenues for providing investment management and other services to the Funds and that Advisors is providing these services overall at a loss. The Board noted that the Funds’ unitary fee structure provided no flexibility to the Advisor in the face of rising costs. The Board considered the detailed Fund-by-Fund analysis of Advisors’ profitability with respect to each Fund, calculated for the year ended December 31, 2005, as outlined in the synopsis below. In reviewing the profitability information provided, the Board considered that Advisors runs substantial losses. In addition, the Board considered that Advisors’ revenues are reasonable from a shareholder perspective, but may not be adequate when considering the nature, quality and cost of Advisors’ services to the Funds.

Fees Charged by Other Advisers. The Board considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar Funds. The Board received comparative fee information for comparable peer group Funds prepared by Lipper. The Board considered that the proposed advisory fee to be paid to Advisors for its services to each Fund compared favorably to the advisory fees charged to other comparable funds. The Board considered that, for the most part, the fees under Advisors’ current management agreements with the Funds are lower than those of the peer group funds identified by Lipper. See the Fund-by-Fund detail below.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Advisors may experience economies of scale in connection with the operation of each Fund. In making this determination, the Board considered that almost all of the Funds operate at a loss to Advisors. While Advisors experiences certain economies of scale by sharing investment personnel with TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC and among the Funds, this generally does not offset these losses. While breakpoints could be an appropriate way for Advisors to share economies of scale with Funds that have substantial assets or that have grown materially over the year, Advisors does not believe there is a direct relationship between the economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by Advisors as assets increase. This is largely because any economies of scale realized by Advisors and Investment Management are across a variety of classes, services, and products and not due to the growth of a single Fund.


122		2006 Semiannual Report TIAA-CREF Life Funds


Board approval of investment management agreement		continued

Fee Comparison with Other Advisors Clients. The Board considered that Advisors provides similar investment management services to each of the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds, the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds, TIAA-CREF Life Funds, and TIAA Separate Account VA-1, although distribution channels differ. In addition, Advisors, through its TIAA-CREF Asset Management (TCAM) division, manages large institutional client assets through unregistered commingled Funds and separate accounts with similar investment strategies and investment staff. The Board considered the schedule of fees for each of the comparable Funds, and the fact that the fees Advisors charges are the same or lower than Advisors’ comparable Funds.

Other Benefits. Advisors and its affiliates may benefit from the advisory relationship with the Funds to the extent this relationship results in potential investors viewing the TIAA-CREF group of companies as a leading retirement plan provider in the academic and nonprofit market and a single source for all their financial service needs. Also, certain investment portfolios managed by Advisors are managed in the same manner and by the same personnel as certain CREF accounts, resulting in the possibility for benefits associated with economies of scale.
