All annuity investment options at Corebridge and TIAA will no longer be available in the ORP effective December 2, 2024. This means that no new contributions will be allowed to be invested in the annuity options, however your ORP annuity account balances will remain. This may affect how your future contributions may be invested and how you manage your account balances.

+You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.
You are not permitted to make a direct exchange from New York Life Guaranteed Interest Account to Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund Investor Shares (considered “competing funds”). Before exchanging from New York Life Guaranteed Interest Account, you must first exchange to a “noncompeting” fund for 90 days. While these requirements may seem restrictive, they are typically imposed by issuers such as insurance companies, banks, or other approved financial institutions, as a condition for issuing investment contracts to retirement plans.
>CREF Money Market R3 is not an SEC-registered money market mutual fund and is not subject to the SEC’s requirements regarding the maturity, quality, and diversification of a money market fund’s underlying investments. There is no guarantee that this product will maintain a stable value, and the value of a share may vary.
