Date 13/07/2021

New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced that TIAA-CREF Individual & Institutional Services, Inc. — a subsidiary of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) — has agreed to pay $97 million in restitution to tens of thousands of customers who were fraudulently misled into moving their retirement investments into higher-fee accounts offered by the company. Over the course of six years, tens of thousands of customers were pressured by TIAA advisors to move their investments from low-cost, employer-sponsored retirement plans to higher-cost, individually-managed accounts. The program was significantly more expensive for clients and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in fees for TIAA. As part of today’s agreements — which resolve parallel investigations by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — TIAA is not only providing significant relief to customers, but has also agreed to undertake significant internal reforms.
