TRHWX Investment Objective and Strategy
TIAA-CREF Small-Cap Blend Index Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Tiaa-Cref Funds.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity securities in smaller domestic companies based on a market index.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities included in its benchmark index, the Russell 2000 Index. A small-cap equity security is a security within the capitalization range of the companies included in the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Fund buys most, but not necessarily all, of the stocks in its benchmark index, and will attempt to closely match the overall investment characteristics of its benchmark index. For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the term assets means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund is designed to track various U.S. equity markets as a whole or a segment of these markets.
The Fund primarily invests its assets in equity securities its investment adviser, Teachers Advisors, LLC (Advisors), has selected to track a designated stock market index. Because the return of an index is not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, the Funds ability to match the returns of the Russell 2000 Index is negatively affected by the costs of buying and selling securities as well as the Funds fees and other expenses. The use of a particular index by the Fund is not a fundamental policy and may be changed without shareholder approval. The portfolio management team of Advisors will attempt to build a portfolio that generally matches the market weighted investment characteristics of the Funds benchmark index.
