Summary Information
Investment Objectives, Strategies and Risks
TIAA-CREF Life Funds consists of five different investment portfolios (funds):
Growth Equity Fund
Growth & Income Fund
International Equity Fund
Stock Index Fund
Social Choice Equity Fund
Dual Investment Management Strategy(SM)
Three of the funds (the Growth Equity Fund, the Growth & Income Fund, and the
International Equity Fund) use TIAA-CREF's Dual Investment Management
Strategy,(SM) with each having a "stock selection" and an "enhanced index"
segment.
o The stock selection segment holds a relatively small number of stocks that the
fund management team believes offer superior returns. These stocks are chosen
using fundamental analysis.
o The enhanced index segment seeks to outperform the fund's benchmark index
while limiting the possibility of significantly underperforming the benchmark.
The fund management team attempts to outperform the benchmark index by over-
or under-weighting many stocks in the index by small amounts, based on
proprietary scoring models.
The Dual Investment Management Strategy gives fund managers the flexibility to
allocate amounts between the two segments, based on the investment opportunities
that the fund management team determines to be available at a particular time.
This approach enables the funds to stay fully invested even when the fund
management team can't find sufficient investment opportunities for the stock
selection segment.

General Risks of Investing in the Funds
You can lose money in any of these funds, or the funds could underperform other
investments. In particular, the funds are subject to the following general
risks:
o Market Risk--Stock and bond prices in general can decline over short or
extended periods as a result of political or economic events.
o Interest Rate Risk--Bond or stock prices may decline or a fund's income may
fall if interest rates change.
o Company Risk--A company's current earnings can fall or its overall financial
soundness may decline. As a result, the price of its securities may go down,
or the company may not be able to pay principal and interest on its bonds when
due.
o Foreign Investment Risk--The value of a fund's foreign investments could be
reduced by, among other things, changes in currency exchange rates, the
possible imposition of market controls or currency exchange controls, lower
liquidity and higher volatility in some foreign markets and/or political,
social or diplomatic events.
Special additional risks associated with particular funds are discussed in the
following fund summaries and elsewhere in this prospectus.
An investment in TIAA-CREF Life Funds is not a deposit of any bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.

Growth Equity Fund
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Investment The fund seeks a favorable long-term return, mainly through capital

that present the opportunity for exceptional growth.
Principal The fund invests in stocks of companies in new and emerging areas of
investment the economy and companies with distinctive products or promising
strategies market conditions, using the Dual Investment Management Strategy.
For its stock selection segment, the fund looks primarily for companies
that we believe have the potential for strong earnings or sales growth,
or that appear to be undervalued based on current earnings, assets or
growth prospects. It can also invest in companies to benefit from
prospective acquisitions, reorganizations, or corporate restructurings or
other special situations. Foreign investments may range from 0% to
40% of the fund's portfolio. The benchmark index for the fund is the
Russell 3000(R) Growth Index. (Russell 3000 is a trademark and a
service mark of the Frank Russell Company.)
Special The fund may sometimes hold a significant amount of stocks of smaller,
investment lesser-known companies whose stock prices may fluctuate more than
risks those of larger companies. This means the fund will probably be more
volatile than the overall stock market.
Who may The fund may be appropriate for investors who are looking for long-term
want to capital appreciation, but who are willing to tolerate fluctuations in
invest value. The risk of investing in the fund relative to the potential rewards
is moderate to high.

Growth & Income Fund
Investment The fund seeks a favorable long-term return through capital appreciation
objective and investment income.
Principal The fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks
investment selected for their investment potential, using the Dual Investment
strategies Management Strategy. For its stock selection segment, the fund management
team looks primarily for stocks of larger, well-established, mature
growth companies that we believe are attractively priced, show the
potential to grow faster than the rest of the market, and offer a
growing stream of dividend income. The fund may also invest in rapidly
growing smaller companies and may have up to 20% of its assets in
foreign securities. Normally, at least 80% of the fund's assets will be
income-producing equity securities selected for their investment
potential. The benchmark index for the fund is the Standard & Poor's 500
("S&P 500") Index.
Special Stocks paying relatively high dividends may significantly underperform
investment other stocks during periods of rapid market appreciation.

International Equity Fund
Investment The fund seeks favorable long-term returns, mainly through capital

Principal The fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of primarily foreign
investment equity investments, using the Dual Investment Management Strategy.
strategies For the fund's stock selection segment, we concentrate on individual
stocks rather than on geographic regions, sectors, or industries. We look
for companies of all sizes that have certain characteristics such as
sustainable growth, consistent cash flow and attractive stock prices based
on current earnings, assets and long-term growth prospects. The benchmark
index for the fund is the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI")
EAFE(R) (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index.
Special Foreign investment risk is the most important risk of investing in this
investment fund. Changes in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of
risks market controls, currency exchange controls, or foreign taxes, lower
liquidity and higher volatility in some foreign markets and/or political,
social or diplomatic events could reduce the value of the fund's
investments. These risks may be even more pronounced for the fund's
investments in emerging market countries.
Who may The fund may be appropriate for investors who seek above-average
want to long-term returns, understand the advantages of diversification across
invest international markets and are willing to tolerate the greater risks of
international investing. The risk of investing in the fund relative to the
potential rewards is moderate to high.

Stock Index Fund
Investment The fund seeks a favorable long-term rate of return from a diversified
objective portfolio selected to track the overall market for common stocks
publicly traded in the U.S., as represented by a broad stock market index.
Principal The fund is designed to track U.S. equity markets as a whole and invests
investment in stocks in the Russell 3000(R) Index. The fund uses a sampling
strategies approach to create a portfolio that closely matches the overall
investment characteristics (for example, yield and industry weight) of the
index without actually investing in all 3,000 stocks in the index.
Special While the fund attempts to closely track the Russell 3000(R) Index, it
investment does not invest in all 3,000 stocks in the index. Thus there is no
risks guarantee that the performance of the fund will match that of the index.
Who may The fund may be appropriate for investors who seek a fund that tracks

Social Choice Equity Fund
Investment The fund seeks a favorable long-term rate of return that tracks the
objective investment performance of the U.S. stock market while giving special
consideration to certain social criteria.
Principal The fund invests primarily in a diversified set of common stocks. The
investment fund attempts to track the return of the U.S. stock market as represented
strategies by the S&P 500 Index, while investing only in companies whose activities
are consistent with the fund's social criteria. It does this primarily
by investing in S&P 500 companies that are not excluded by the fund's
social criteria, so that the fund's portfolio approaches the overall
investment characteristics (e.g., yield and industry weight) of the S&P
500.
Special Because its social criteria exclude some investments, this fund may not

More Information About the Funds
This section provides more information about each fund's investment objective,
the principal investment strategies and techniques each fund uses to accomplish
its objective, and the principal types of securities each fund purchases. These
policies and techniques are not fundamental and may be changed by TIAA-CREF Life
Funds' board of trustees without shareholder approval. However, we'll notify you
of any significant changes. For a complete listing of the funds' policies and
restrictions, see the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI").

Funds Using the Dual Investment
Management Strategy(SM)
The Growth Equity Fund, the Growth & Income Fund, and the International Equity
Fund use TIAA-CREF's Dual Investment Management Strategy(SM), which works like
this:
Each of these three funds has two separate segments called the "stock selection"
segment and the "enhanced index" segment. The relative sizes of these two
segments vary as the fund management team shifts money between them in response
to investment opportunities.
The stock selection segment holds a relatively small number of stocks that the
fund management team believes offer superior returns. The managers of these
equity funds will usually use fundamental analysis to select individual stocks
or sectors for investment in the stock selection segment. Each fund's stock
selection segment is described further below.
Money that is not invested in a fund's stock selection segment goes to its
enhanced index segment. Here the goal is two-fold: (1) to outperform each fund's
benchmark index and (2) to limit the possibility of significantly
underperforming that benchmark. The funds' managers attempt to outperform the
benchmark indexes by over- or under-weighting many stocks in the index by small
amounts, based on proprietary stock scoring models. In other words, a fund will
hold more or less of some stocks than does its benchmark index. The managers
attempt to control the risk of underperforming the benchmarks by maintaining the
same overall financial characteristics (such as volatility, dividend yield and
industry weights) as the benchmarks.
11
<PAGE>
The Dual Investment Management Strategy enables the funds to stay fully invested
even when the fund management team can't find sufficient investment
opportunities for the stock selection segment.
The benchmarks for each fund's enhanced index segment currently are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Fund Benchmark
- ---- ---------
Growth Equity Fund Russell 3000(R) Growth Index
Growth & Income Fund S&P 500(R) Index
International Equity Fund MSCI EAFE(R) (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index
</TABLE>
Using these benchmarks is not a fundamental policy of any of the TIAA-CREF Life
Funds, so we can substitute other benchmark indices without shareholder
approval. We'll notify you before we make such a change.
Growth Equity Fund
The Growth Equity Fund seeks a favorable long-term return, mainly through
capital appreciation, primarily from a diversified portfolio of common stocks
that present the opportunity for exceptional growth. Normally, the fund will
have at least 80% of its assets in equity securities that have the potential for
capital appreciation.
The fund uses the Dual Investment Management Strategy. The fund's stock
selection segment can invest in companies of all sizes, including companies in
new and emerging areas of the economy and companies with distinctive products or
promising markets. We choose individual investments based on a company's
prospects under current or forecasted economic, financial and market conditions,
looking for companies we believe have the potential for strong earnings or sales
growth, or that appear to be undervalued based on current earnings, assets, or
growth prospects.
The fund can also invest in large, well-known, established companies,
particularly when we believe they have new or innovative products, services, or
processes that enhance future earnings prospects. The fund can also invest in
companies in order to benefit from prospective acquisitions, reorganizations, or
corporate restructurings or other special situations.
12
<PAGE>
The Growth Equity Fund can buy foreign securities and other instruments if we
believe they have superior investment potential. Depending on investment
opportunities, the fund may have up to 40% of its assets in foreign securities.
The securities will be those traded on foreign exchanges or in other foreign
markets and may be denominated in foreign currencies or other units of account.
Special Investment Risks: The fund is subject to the general investment risks
described on page 4, including the risks of foreign investments. In addition,
there are special risks to investing in growth stocks. The fund may at times
hold a significant amount of stocks of smaller, lesser-known companies. Their
stock prices may fluctuate more than those of larger companies because smaller
companies may depend on narrow product lines, have limited track records, lack
depth of management, or have thinly-traded securities. Also, stocks of companies
involved in reorganizations and other special situations can often involve more
risk than ordinary securities. Accordingly, the Growth Equity Fund will probably
be more volatile than the overall stock market, and it could significantly
outperform or underperform the stock market during any particular period.
Growth & Income Fund
The Growth & Income Fund seeks a favorable long-term return through capital
appreciation and investment income, primarily from a broadly diversified
portfolio of common stocks. Normally, at least 80% of the fund's assets will be
income-producing equity securities selected for their investment potential.
The fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks, using the
Dual Investment Management Strategy. The fund's stock selection segment
concentrates on individual companies rather than sectors or industries. We look
for stocks of larger, well-established companies that we believe are
attractively priced, show the potential to grow faster than the rest of the
market, and offer a growing stream of dividend income. In particular, we look
for companies that are leaders in their industries. We also look for companies
with shareholder-oriented managements dedicated to creating shareholder value.
The fund may also invest in rapidly growing smaller companies. It can have up to
20% of its assets in foreign securities.
Special Investment Risks: The fund is subject to the general investment risks
described on page 4, including the risks of foreign investments. In addition,
stocks paying relatively high dividends may at times significantly underperform
other stocks during periods of rapid market appreciation.
13
<PAGE>
International Equity Fund
The International Equity Fund seeks a favorable long-term return, mainly through
capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio that consists
primarily of foreign equity investments. The fund intends to always have at
least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies located in at least
three different countries, other than the United States.
The fund uses the Dual Investment Management Strategy. The fund may invest in
companies of all sizes. For the fund's stock selection segment, we concentrate
on individual stocks rather than on geographic regions, sectors, or industries.
We do, however, regularly monitor the the fund's sector and country exposure in
order to control risk.
In particular, we look for companies of all sizes that have certain
characteristics, such as:
o sustainable growth
o focused management with successful track records
o unique and easy-to-understand franchises (brands)
o stock prices that do not fully reflect the inherent value of the security
based on the company's current earnings, assets, and long-term growth
prospects
o consistent generation of free cash flow
Special Investment Risks: The fund is subject to the general investment risks
described on page 4, especially the risks of foreign investments. In particular,
investing in securities traded on foreign exchanges or in foreign markets can
involve risks beyond those of domestic investing. These include: (1) changes in
currency exchange rates; (2) possible imposition of market controls or currency
exchange controls; (3) possible imposition of withholding taxes on dividends and
interest; (4) possible seizure, expropriation, or nationalization of assets; (5)
more limited foreign financial information or difficulty in interpreting it
because of foreign regulations and accounting standards; (6) the lower liquidity
and higher volatility in some foreign markets; (7) the impact of political,
social, or diplomatic events; (8) the difficulty of evaluating some foreign
economic trends; or (9) the possibility that a foreign government could restrict
an issuer from paying principal and interest to investors outside the country.
Brokerage commissions and transaction costs are often higher for foreign
investments, and it may be harder to use foreign laws and courts to enforce
financial or legal obligations.
14
<PAGE>
The risks noted above often increase in countries with emerging markets. For
example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed
countries, and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Because
their securities markets may be very small, share prices may be volatile. In
addition, foreign investors are subject to a variety of special restrictions in
many emerging countries. The fund will focus its investments primarily in those
countries which are included in the MSCI EAFE Index.
Other Funds
Stock Index Fund
The Stock Index Fund seeks a favorable long-term rate of return from a
diversified portfolio selected to track the overall market for common stocks
publicly traded in the U.S., as represented by the Russell 3000(R), a broad
market index.
Although the fund invests in stocks in the Russell 3000 Index, it doesn't invest
in all 3,000 stocks in the index. Rather, we use a sampling approach to create a
portfolio that closely matches the overall investment characteristics (for
example, yield and industry weight) of the index. This means that a company can
remain in the fund even if it performs poorly, unless the company is removed
from the Russell 3000.
Using the Russell 3000 Index isn't fundamental to the fund's investment
objective and policies. We can change the index used in this fund at any time
and will notify you if we do so.
The fund can also invest in securities and other instruments, such as futures,
whose return depends on stock market prices. We select these instruments to
attempt to match the total return of the Russell 3000 but may not always do so.
The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index of stocks of the 3,000 largest
publicly traded U.S. companies, based on market capitalization. Russell 3000
companies represent about 98% of the total market capitalization of the publicly
traded U.S. equity market. The market
15
<PAGE>
capitalization of the individual companies in the index ranged from $178 million
to $407 billion with an average of $5.34 billion as of December 31, 1999. The
Frank Russell Company determines the composition of the index based only on
market capitalization and can change its composition at any time. The Russell
3000 Index is not a mutual fund and you cannot invest directly in the index.
Special Investment Risks: The fund is subject to the general investment risks
described on page 4, although it does not have foreign investment risk. In
addition, while the fund attempts to closely track the Russell 3000 Index and
changes are made to its holdings to reflect changes in the index, the fund does
not invest in all 3,000 stocks in the index. Thus, there is no guarantee that
the performance of the fund will match that of the index. Also, because the
index's returns aren't reduced by investment and other operating expenses, the
fund's ability to match the index will be adversely affected by the costs of
buying and selling stocks as well as other expenses. The stock prices of
smaller, lesser-known companies, which make up a small portion of the index, may
fluctuate more than those of larger companies because smaller companies may
depend on narrow product lines, have limited track records, lack depth of
management, or have thinly-traded securities.
Social Choice Equity Fund
The Social Choice Equity Fund seeks a favorable long-term rate of return that
reflects the investment performance of the U.S. stock market while giving
special consideration to certain social criteria. Normally, at least 80% of the
fund's assets will be invested in common stocks.
The fund attempts to track the return of the U.S. stock market as represented by
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. It does this primarily by investing in S&P 500
companies that are not excluded by the fund's social criteria, so that the
fund's portfolio approaches the overall investment characteristics (e.g., yield
and industry weight) of the S&P 500.
The social criteria the fund takes into consideration are non-fundamental
investment policies. They can change without the approval of the fund's
shareholders. Currently, the fund invests only in companies that do not:
16
<PAGE>
o engage in activities that result or are likely to result in significant damage
to the natural environment;
o have a significant portion of its business in weapons manufacturing;
o produce and market alcoholic beverages or tobacco products;
o produce nuclear energy; or
o have operations in Northern Ireland and have not adopted the MacBride
Principles (a fair employment code for U.S. firms operating in Northern
Ireland) or have not operated consistently with such principles and in
compliance with the Fair Employment Act of 1989 (Northern Ireland).
For the first three criteria, we examine the company to decide whether the
activity is a "significant" part of its business--basing our decision on, for
example, how large a part of a company's operation the activity involves or how
much revenue it brings in. In determining whether a particular activity is
significant to a company, we do not rely on strict objective criteria, but
rather make judgments based on the facts and circumstances pertaining to the
company.
The TIAA-CREF Life Funds board of trustees receives guidance from Teachers
Advisors, Inc. (Advisors), the fund investment adviser, in deciding whether
investments meet the social criteria. Advisors uses information from independent
organizations such as the Investor Responsibility Research Center, Inc., as well
as from information compiled by the affiliated TIAA-CREF Corporate Governance
and Social Responsibility Committees. We'll do our best to make sure the fund's
investments meet the social criteria, but we can't guarantee that every holding
will always do so. Even if an investment is not excluded by the social criteria,
we have the option of excluding it if we decide it is not suitable.
The fund isn't restricted from investing in any securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The fund can also
invest in securities issued by other countries or their agencies and
instrumentalities, as approved by the TIAA-CREF Life Funds' board of trustees.
The fund can also invest up to 15% of its assets in foreign securities.
Special Investment Risks: The fund is subject to the general investment risks
described on page 4. In addition, because its social criteria exclude some
investments, this fund may not be able to take advantage of the same
opportunities or market trends as do the funds that don't use such criteria.
17
<PAGE>
Additional Investment Strategies
While the funds invest primarily in common stocks, each fund can also invest, to
a limited extent, in other equity securities such as preferred stock,
convertible securities, and warrants. Each fund can also hold short-term debt
securities and other money market or short-term instruments, including those
denominated in foreign currencies. These help the funds maintain liquidity, use
cash balances effectively, and take advantage of attractive investment
opportunities. The funds can also hold fixed-income securities they acquire
because of mergers, recapitalizations, or otherwise.
Similarly, each fund may also buy and sell options, futures contracts, and
options on futures. We intend to use options and futures primarily for hedging
or for cash management. To manage currency risk, the funds can also enter into
forward currency contracts, and buy or sell options and futures on foreign
currencies.
The funds can also invest in newly developed financial instruments, such as
equity swaps (including arrangements where the return is linked to a stock
market index) and equity-linked fixed-income securities, so long as these are
consistent with a fund's investment objective and restrictions.
Fund Management
Teachers Advisors, Inc. (Advisors) manages the TIAA-CREF Life Funds' assets,
under the supervision of the board of trustees of TIAA-CREF Life Funds, and is a
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association
of America (TIAA). Advisors is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The specialized
portfolio management teams of Advisors who manage the funds also manage the
investments of TIAA Separate Account VA-1, TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds, and
18
<PAGE>
TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds, and, through an affiliated investment
adviser, TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC (Investment Management), the
investment accounts of the College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF). Advisors is
located at 730 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017.
Under its investment management agreement with TIAA-CREF Life Funds, Advisors is
entitled to an annual fee based on a percentage of the average daily net assets
of each fund. Advisors has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
management fee for each fund. The waivers are contractual and will remain in
effect until April 1, 2003. The management fees with and without the waivers are
as follows:

Advisors' duties include conducting research, recommending investments, and
placing orders to buy and sell securities. Advisors is also responsible for
providing or obtaining at its own expense the services necessary to operate the
TIAA-CREF Life Funds on a day-to-day basis. These include custodial,
administrative, portfolio accounting, dividend disbursing, auditing, and
ordinary legal services.
The funds are managed by Advisors through specialized portfolio management teams
whose members are jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the
funds.

objectives, policies, strategies and risks that are substantially the same as
those of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. The performance of an appropriate broad-based
19
<PAGE>
securities market index, adjusted to reflect the reinvestment of dividends on
securities in the index, is also presented for each fund. The portfolios
presented are:
o the TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds' Growth Equity Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and
International Equity Fund, mutual funds managed by Advisors;
o the Stock Index Account of TIAA Separate Account VA-1, a variable annuity
managed account managed by Advisors; and
o the Growth Account and Equity Index Account of CREF, variable annuity managed
accounts managed by the same portfolio management teams in their capacities
with Investment Management.
(We have not included the performance of the TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual
Funds in the chart, since its portfolios, some of which are substantially
similar to the TIAA-CREF Life Funds, have not been in operation for a full year.
Also note that, except for the unseasoned Institutional Social Choice Equity
Fund, there is no investment portfolio managed by Advisors' personnel that is
substantially similar to TIAA-CREF Life Fund's Social Choice Equity Fund.)
The historical performance results presented below are net of investment
management and other operating expenses of the portfolios, including any
applicable waivers. We have included in parenthesis, next to each portfolio, the
annual expense ratios (net of any waivers) for each portfolio, as of December
31, 1999. (Note that CREF deducts its expenses at cost, and the expenses quoted
below have varied over time.) The expenses for the CREF and TIAA Separate
Account VA-1 accounts include certain administrative and mortality expenses
that, for insurance contract holders indirectly investing in the TIAA-CREF Life
Funds, would be deducted at the contract level and not the fund level. (The
investment management component of the expenses for these accounts were as
follows: CREF Growth Account-0.11%; CREF Equity Index Account-0.06%; TIAA
Separate Account VA-1 Stock Index Account-0.07%.) A contract holders' actual
returns on its indirect investment in the TIAA-CREF Life Funds will be lower
once contract level expenses are deducted. For example, the TIAA-CREF Life
Personal Annuity Select variable annuity contract deducts an additional 0.30%
from fund returns.

Pricing of Fund Shares
We determine the net asset value (NAV) per share (share price) of a fund on each
day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, when trading closes on all
U.S. national exchanges where securities or other investments of the fund are
principally traded. We will not price fund shares on days that the New York
Stock Exchange is closed. We compute the fund's NAV by dividing the value of a
fund's assets, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of that
fund.
We usually use market quotations or independent pricing services to value
securities and other instruments held by the funds. If market quotations or
independent pricing services aren't readily available, we'll use a security's
"fair value", as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the
TIAA-CREF Life Funds' board of trustees. Money market instruments with
maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost. We also may use
fair value if events materially affecting the value of an investment (as
determined in our sole discretion) occur between the time when its price is
determined and the time the fund's net asset value is calculated.
Offering, Purchasing and Redeeming Shares
Shares of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds are not sold directly to you, but rather are
sold in a continuous offering to TIAA-CREF Life separate accounts to fund
variable annuity or other insurance contracts. Your premiums under the contracts
are placed in the appropriate investment account of the separate account, and
the assets of the investment account are invested in the shares of the TIAA-CREF
Life Funds. The separate account purchases and redeems shares of the appropriate
fund for net asset value without sales or redemption charges.
For each day on which the TIAA-CREF Life Funds' net asset value is calculated,
the separate account transmits to the fund any orders to purchase or redeem
shares of the fund based on the purchase payments, redemption requests, death
benefits, contract charges, and transfer requests from contractowners and
beneficiaries that have been processed on that day. The
22
<PAGE>
separate account purchases and redeems shares of a fund at the fund's net asset
value per share calculated as of that same day.
For more information about investing in the TIAA-CREF Life Funds, see the
prospectus describing the contract, which can be obtained by calling us
toll-free at 800 842-2733, extension 5509.
Dividends, Distributions and Taxes
The tax status of your investment depends upon your variable insurance contract.
For a complete discussion of the tax status of your contract, please refer to
the prospectus describing the contract.
Shares in the funds may only be held through a variable annuity or other
variable insurance contract. Under current tax law, any dividend or capital
gains distributions from the fund will be exempt from current taxation if left
to accumulate within your variable contract. Withdrawals from your contract may
be taxed as ordinary income. You may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax if a
withdrawal is made before age 59 1/2.
The funds expect to declare and distribute to its shareholders (i.e., any
separate accounts) substantially all of their net investment income and net
realized capital gains. Normally, each of the funds will distribute dividends
and capital gains annually. In addition, each fund may occasionally be required
to make supplemental dividend or capital gains distributions at some other time
during the year.
All dividend and capital gains distributions from a fund will be automatically
reinvested by the separate account in additional shares of the fund.
Each fund intends to qualify for taxation as a "regulated investment company"
under the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be subject to federal income
tax to the extent its
23
<PAGE>
income and net capital gains are distributed to shareholders. In addition, the
funds intend to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the
diversification requirements related to the tax-deferred status of insurance
company separate accounts.
General Matters
Voting Rights
We don't plan to hold annual shareholder meetings. However, we may hold special
meetings to elect trustees, change fundamental policies, approve a management
agreement, or for other purposes. Each share (including fractional shares) is
entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value represented by that
share on all matters to which shareholders are entitled to vote. You should
refer to the SAI, as well as the separate prospectus describing your contract
and the separate account, which accompanies this prospectus, for more
information on your voting rights.

Investment Policies, Strategies and Restrictions
The following information is intended to supplement the description of the
investment objective and policies of each fund in the prospectus. Under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), a fund's fundamental
policies may not be changed without the vote of a majority of the fund's
outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act). The non-fundamental
investment restrictions contained in "Non-Principal Investment Strategies and
Risk Considerations" below, may be changed by the TIAA-CREF Life Funds' board of
trustees at any time.
Fundamental Policies
The following restrictions are fundamental policies of each fund:
1. The fund will not issue senior securities except as SEC regulations permit;
2. The fund will not borrow money, except: (a) it may purchase securities on
margin, as described in restriction 8 below; and (b) from banks (only in
amounts not in excess of 33 1/3% of the market value of the fund's assets at
the time of borrowing), and, from other sources, for temporary purposes
(only in amounts not exceeding 5%, or such greater amount as may be
permitted by law, of the fund's total assets taken at market value at the
time of borrowing);
3. The fund will not underwrite the securities of other companies, except to
the extent that it may be deemed an underwriter in connection with the
disposition of securities from its portfolio;
4. The fund will not, with respect to at least 75% of the value of its total
assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one
issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed by the United States
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities;
5. The fund will not invest in an industry if after giving effect to that
investment the fund's holding in that industry would exceed 25% of its total
assets; however, this restriction does not apply to investments in
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities;
6. The fund will not purchase real estate or mortgages directly;
7. The fund will not purchase commodities or commodities contracts, except to
the extent financial contracts (such as futures) are purchased as described
herein; and
8. The fund will not purchase any security on margin except that the fund may
obtain such short-term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of
purchases and sales of portfolio securities).
The following restriction is a fundamental policy of each fund (other than the
Stock Index Fund):
9. The fund will not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result,
more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but
this limit does not apply to repurchase agreements.
The following restriction is a fundamental policy of the Stock Index Fund:
10. The fund will not make loans, except: (a) that the fund may make loans of
portfolio securities not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets,
which are collateralized by either cash, United States Government
securities, or other means permitted by applicable law, equal to at least
the market value of the loaned securities, as reviewed daily; (b) loans
through entry into repurchase agreements; (c) privately-placed debt
securities may be purchased; (d) participation interests in loans, and
similar investments, may be purchased; or (e) through an interfund loan
program with affiliated investment companies, to the extent permitted by
applicable SEC regulations.
If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of investment, a later
increase or decrease in percentage beyond the specified limit resulting from a
change of values of portfolio securities will not be considered a violation.
Non-Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
General
The funds, in addition to stocks, can hold other types of securities with
equity characteristics, such as bonds convertible into common stock, warrants,
preferred stock, and depository receipts for such securities. These securities
are generally subject to the same types of market and financial risks that are
described in the prospectus.
When market conditions warrant, the funds can hold debt securities, including
those that it acquires because of mergers, recapitalizations, or otherwise. For
liquidity, the funds can also invest in short-term debt securities and other
money-market instruments, including those denominated in foreign currencies.
Fixed-income securities, including short-term debt securities and other money
market instruments, are subject to interest rate risks and financial risks.
Interest rate risks are the risks that the instrument's value will decline if
interest rates change. A rise in interest rates usually causes the market value
of fixed-rate securities to go down, while rate deductions usually result in a
market value increase. Financial risks come from the possibility the issuer
won't be able to pay principal and interest when due.
The funds also can invest in options and futures, as well as newly developed
financial instruments, such as equity swaps and
B-3
<PAGE>
equity-linked fixed-income securities, so long as these are consistent with its
investment objective and regulatory requirements.
These investments and other fund investment strategies are discussed in detail
below.
Options and Futures
The funds can buy and sell options (puts and calls) and futures to the extent
permitted by the New York State Insurance Department, the SEC, and the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). We do not intend to use options
and futures strategies in a speculative manner but rather we would use them
primarily as hedging techniques or for cash management purposes.
Options and futures transactions may increase a fund's transaction costs and
portfolio turnover rate and will be initiated only when consistent with its
investment objectives.
Options. Option-related activities could include: (1) the sale of covered call
option contracts, and the purchase of call option contracts for the purpose of a
closing purchase transaction; (2) buying covered put option contracts, and
selling put option contracts to close out a position acquired through the
purchase of such options; and (3) selling call option contracts or buying put
option contracts on groups of securities and on futures on groups of securities
and buying similar call option contracts or selling put option contracts to
close out a position acquired through a sale of such options. This list of
options-related activities is not intended to be exclusive, and the funds may
engage in other types of options transactions consistent with its investment
objective and policies and applicable law.
A call option is a short-term contract (generally for nine months or less) which
gives the purchaser of the option the right to purchase the underlying security
at a fixed exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option
regardless of the market price of the security during the option period. As
consideration for the call option, the purchaser pays the seller a premium,
which the seller retains whether or not the option is exercised. The seller of a
call option has the obligation, upon the exercise of the option by the
purchaser, to sell the underlying security at the exercise price at any time
during the option period. Selling a call option would benefit the seller if,
over the option period, the underlying security declines in value or does not
appreciate above the aggregate of the exercise price and the premium. However,
the seller risks an "opportunity loss" of profits if the underlying security
appreciates above the aggregate value of the exercise price and the premium.
The funds may close out a position acquired through selling a call option by
buying a call option on the same security with the same exercise price and
expiration date as the call option that it had previously sold on that security.
Depending on the premium for the call option purchased by a fund, the fund will
realize a profit or loss on the transaction.
A put option is a similar short-term contract that gives the purchaser of the
option the right to sell the underlying security at a fixed exercise price at
any time prior to the expiration of the option regardless of the market price of
the security during the option period. As consideration for the put option the
purchaser pays the seller a premium, which the seller retains whether or not the
option is exercised. The seller of a put option has the obligation, upon the
exercise of the option by the purchaser, to purchase the underlying security at
the exercise price at any time during the option period. The buying of a covered
put contract limits the downside exposure for the investment in the underlying
security to the combination of the exercise price less the premium paid. The
risk of purchasing a put is that the market price of the underlying stock
prevailing on the expiration date may be above the option's exercise price. In
that case the option would expire worthless and the entire premium would be
lost.
The funds may close out a position acquired through buying a put option by
selling a put option on the same security with the same exercise price and
expiration date as the put option which it had previously bought on the
security. Depending on the premium of the put option sold by a fund, the fund
would realize a profit or loss on the transaction.
In addition to options (both calls and puts) on individual securities, there are
also options on groups of securities, such as the Standard & Poor's 100 Index
traded on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. There are also options on the
futures of groups of securities such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index
and the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index. The selling of such calls can
be used in anticipation of, or in, a general market or market sector decline
that may adversely affect the market value of a fund's portfolio of securities.
To the extent that a fund's portfolio of securities changes in value in
correlation with a given stock index, the sale of call options on the futures of
that index would substantially reduce the risk to the portfolio of a market
decline, and, by so doing, provides an alternative to the liquidation of
securities positions in the portfolio with resultant transaction costs. A risk
in all options, particularly the relatively new options on groups of securities
and on the futures on groups of securities, is a possible lack of liquidity.
This will be a major consideration before the fund deals in any option.
There is another risk in connection with selling a call option on a group of
securities or on the futures of groups of securities. This arises because of the
imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the call option on a
particular group of securities and the price of the underlying securities held
in the portfolio. Unlike a covered call on an individual security, where a large
movement on the upside for the call option will be offset by a similar move on
the underlying stock, a move in the price of a call option on a group of
securities may not be offset by a similar move in the price of securities held
due to the difference in the composition of the particular group and the
portfolio itself.
B-4
<PAGE>
Futures. To the extent permitted by applicable regulatory authorities, the funds
may purchase and sell futures contracts on securities or other instruments, or
on groups or indexes of securities or other instruments. The purpose of hedging
techniques using financial futures is to protect the principal value of the fund
against adverse changes in the market value of securities or instruments in its
portfolio, and to obtain better returns on future investments than actually may
be available at the future time. Since these are hedging techniques, the gains
or losses on the futures contract normally will be offset by losses or gains
respectively on the hedged investment. Futures contracts also may be offset
prior to the future date by executing an opposite futures contract transaction.
A futures contract on an investment is a binding contractual commitment which,
if held to maturity, will result in an obligation to make or accept delivery,
during a particular future month, of the securities or instrument underlying the
contract. By purchasing a futures contract--assuming a "long" position--a fund
legally will obligate itself to accept the future delivery of the underlying
security or instrument and pay the agreed price. By selling a futures
contract--assuming a "short" position--it legally will obligate itself to make
the future delivery of the security or instrument against payment of the agreed
price.
Positions taken in the futures markets are not normally held to maturity, but
are instead liquidated through offsetting transactions which may result in a
profit or a loss. While futures positions taken by the funds usually will be
liquidated in this manner, the funds may instead make or take delivery of the
underlying securities or instruments whenever it appears economically
advantageous to a fund to do so. A clearing corporation associated with the
exchange on which futures are traded assumes responsibility for closing out
positions and guarantees that the sale and purchase obligations will be
performed with regard to all positions that remain open at the termination of
the contract.
A stock index futures contract, unlike a contract on a specific security, does
not provide for the physical delivery of securities, but merely provides for
profits and losses resulting from changes in the market value of the contract to
be credited or debited at the close of each trading day to the respective
accounts of the parties to the contract. On the contract's expiration date, a
final cash settlement occurs and the futures positions are closed out. Changes
in the market value of a particular stock index futures contract reflect changes
in the specified index of equity securities on which the future is based.
Stock index futures may be used to hedge the equity investments of the funds
with regard to market (systematic) risk (involving the market's assessment of
overall economic prospects), as distinguished from stock specific risk
(involving the market's evaluation of the merits of the issuer of a particular
security). By establishing an appropriate "short" position in stock index
futures, the funds may seek to protect the value of its securities portfolio
against an overall decline in the market for equity securities. Alternatively,
in anticipation of a generally rising market, the funds can seek to avoid losing
the benefit of apparently low current prices by establishing a "long" position
in stock index futures and later liquidating that position as particular equity
securities are in fact acquired. To the extent that these hedging strategies are
successful, the funds will be affected to a lesser degree by adverse overall
market price movements, unrelated to the merits of specific portfolio equity
securities, than would otherwise be the case.
Unlike the purchase or sale of a security, no price is paid or received by the
funds upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Initially, the funds will
be required to deposit in a custodial account an amount of cash, United States
Treasury securities, or other permissible assets equal to approximately 5% of
the contract amount. This amount is known as "initial margin." The nature of
initial margin in futures transactions is different from that of margin in
security transactions in that futures contract margin does not involve the
borrowing of funds by the customer to finance the transactions. Rather, the
initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on
the contract which is returned to a fund upon termination of the futures
contract assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent
payments to and from the broker, called "variation margin," will be made on a
daily basis as the price of the underlying stock index fluctuates making the
long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a
process known as "marking to the market." For example, when a fund has purchased
a stock index futures contract and the price of the underlying stock index has
risen, that position will have increased in value, and the fund will receive
from the broker a variation margin payment equal to that increase in value.
Conversely, where a fund has purchased a stock index futures contract and the
price of the underlying stock index has declined, the position would be less
valuable and the fund would be required to make a variation margin payment to
the broker. At any time prior to expiration of the futures contract, a fund may
elect to close the position by taking an opposite position which will operate to
terminate the fund's position in the futures contract. A final determination of
variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be paid by or
released to the fund, and the fund realizes a loss or a gain.
There are several risks in connection with the use of a futures contract as a
hedging device. One risk arises because of the imperfect correlation between
movements in the prices of the futures contracts and movements in the securities
or instruments which are the subject of the hedge. The funds will attempt to
reduce this risk by engaging in futures transactions, to the extent possible,
where, in our judgment, there is a significant correlation between changes in
the prices of the futures contracts and the prices of the fund's portfolio
securities or instruments sought to be hedged.
Successful use of futures contracts for hedging purposes also is subject to the
user's ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of the market.
For example, it is possible that, where a
B-5
<PAGE>
fund has sold futures to hedge its portfolio against declines in the market, the
index on which the futures are written may advance and the values of securities
or instruments held in the fund's portfolio may decline. If this occurred, the
fund would lose money on the futures and also experience a decline in value in
its portfolio investments. However, we believe that over time the value of a
fund's portfolio will tend to move in the same direction as the market indices
which are intended to correlate to the price movements of the portfolio
securities or instruments sought to be hedged. It also is possible that, for
example, if a fund has hedged against the possibility of the decline in the
market adversely affecting stocks held in its portfolio and stock prices
increased instead, the fund will lose part or all of the benefit of increased
value of those stocks that it has hedged because it will have offsetting losses
in its futures positions. In addition, in such situations, if a fund has
insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities or instruments to meet daily
variation margin requirements. Such sales may be, but will not necessarily be,
at increased prices which reflect the rising market. The fund may have to sell
securities or instruments at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
In addition to the possibility that there may be an imperfect correlation, or no
correlation at all, between movements in the futures contracts and the portion
of the portfolio being hedged, the prices of futures contracts may not correlate
perfectly with movements in the underlying security or instrument due to certain
market distortions. First, all transactions in the futures market are subject to
margin deposit and maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional
margin deposit requirements, investors may close futures contracts through
offsetting transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the
index and futures markets. Second, the margin requirements in the futures market
are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities market, and as a
result the futures market may attract more speculators than the securities
market does. Increased participation by speculators in the futures market also
may cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility of price
distortion in the futures market and also because of the imperfect correlation
between movements in the futures contracts and the portion of the portfolio
being hedged, even a correct forecast of general market trends by Advisors, the
investment advisor for each of the funds, still may not result in a successful
hedging transaction over a very short time period.
The funds may also use futures contracts and options on futures contracts to
manage its cash flow more effectively. To the extent that the funds enter into
non-hedging positions, it will do so only in accordance with certain CFTC
exemptive provisions. Thus, pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.5, the aggregate initial
margin and premiums required to establish non-hedging positions in commodity
futures or commodity options contracts may not exceed 5% of the liquidation
value of the fund's portfolio, after-taking into account unrealized profits and
unrealized losses on any such contracts it has entered into (provided that the
in-the-money amount of an option that is in-the-money when purchased may be
excluded in computing such 5%).
Firm Commitment Agreements and Purchase of "When-Issued" Securities
The funds can enter into firm commitment agreements for the purchase of
securities on a specified future date. We expect that these transactions will be
relatively infrequent. When a fund enters into a firm commitment agreement,
liability for the purchase price--and the rights and risks of ownership of the
securities--accrues to the fund at the time it becomes obligated to purchase
such securities, although delivery and payment occur at a later date.
Accordingly, if the market price of the security should decline, the effect of
the agreement would be to obligate the fund to purchase the security at a price
above the current market price on the date of delivery and payment. During the
time a fund is obligated to purchase such securities, it will be required to
segregate assets. See "Segregated Accounts," below.
Securities Lending
Subject to the funds' fundamental investment policies relating to loans of
portfolio securities set forth above, the funds may lend its securities to
brokers and dealers that are not affiliated with TIAA-CREF Life Insurance
Company, are registered with the SEC and are members of the NASD, and also to
certain other financial institutions. All loans will be fully collateralized.
In connection with the lending of its securities, the fund will receive as
collateral cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the United States
Government (i.e., Treasury securities), or other collateral permitted by
applicable law, which at all times while the loan is outstanding will be
maintained in amounts equal to at least 102% of the current market value of the
loaned securities, or such lesser percentage as may be permitted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (not to fall below 100% of the market
value of the loaned securities), as reviewed daily. By lending its securities,
the funds will receive amounts equal to the interest or dividends paid on the
securities loaned and in addition will expect to receive a portion of the
income generated by the short-term investment of cash received as collateral
or, alternatively, where securities or a letter of credit are used as
collateral, a lending fee paid directly to the fund by the borrower of the
securities. Such loans will be terminable by the fund at any time and will not
be made to affiliates of TIAA. The funds may terminate a loan of securities in
order to regain record ownership of, and to exercise beneficial rights related
to, the loaned securities, including but not necessarily limited to voting or
subscription rights, and may, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties,
terminate a loan in the event that a vote of holders of those securities is
required on a material matter. The funds may pay reasonable fees to persons
unaffiliated with the fund for services or for arranging such loans. Loans of
securities will be made only to firms deemed creditworthy. As with any
extension of credit, however, there are risks of delay in recovering the loaned
securities, or in liquidating collateral, should the borrower of securities
default, become the subject of bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise be unable
to fulfill its obligations or fail financially.
Borrowing and Lending Among Affiliates
At some time in the future, the funds may establish a facility for borrowing
and lending money among themselves as well as with
B-6
<PAGE>
TIAA or other registered investment companies managed by Advisors or Investment
Management.
If a fund borrows money, it could leverage its portfolio by keeping securities
it might otherwise have had to sell. Leveraging exposes a fund to special risks,
including greater fluctuations in net asset value in response to market changes.
Preferred Stock
The funds can invest in preferred stock consistent with their investment
objectives.
Illiquid Securities
The funds can invest up to 15% of their assets in investments that may not be
readily marketable. It may be difficult to sell these investments for their
fair market value.
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements are one of several short-term vehicles the funds can use
to manage cash balances effectively. In a repurchase agreement, we buy an
underlying debt instrument on condition that the seller agrees to buy it back
at a fixed time (usually a relatively short period) and price. The period from
purchase to repurchase is usually no more than a week and never more than a
year. Repurchase agreements have the characteristics of loans, and will be
fully collateralized (either with physical securities or evidence of book entry
transfer to the account of the custodian bank) at all times. During the term of
the repurchase agreement, a fund retains the security subject to the repurchase
agreement as collateral securing the seller's repurchase obligation,
continually monitors the market value of the security subject to the agreement,
and requires the fund's seller to deposit with the fund additional collateral
equal to any amount by which the market value of the security subject to the
repurchase agreement falls below the resale amount provided under the
repurchase agreement. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with
member banks of the Federal Reserve System, and with primary dealers in United
States Government securities or their wholly-owned subsidiaries whose
creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by Advisors and who
have, therefore, been determined to present minimal credit risk.
Securities underlying repurchase agreements will be limited to certificates of
deposit, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, or obligations issued or
guaranteed by the United States Government or its agencies or instrumentalities,
in which the fund entering into the agreement may otherwise invest.
If a seller of a repurchase agreement defaults and does not repurchase the
security subject to the agreement, the fund entering into the agreement would
look to the collateral security underlying the seller's repurchase agreement,
including the securities subject to the repurchase agreement, for satisfaction
of the seller's obligation to the fund; in such event the fund might incur
disposition costs in liquidating the collateral and might suffer a loss if the
value of the collateral declines. In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings are
instituted against a seller of a repurchase agreement, realization upon the
collateral may be delayed or limited.
Swap Transactions
The funds may, to the extent permitted by the SEC, enter into privately
negotiated "swap" transactions with other financial institutions in order to
take advantage of investment opportunities generally not available in public
markets. In general, these transactions involve "swapping" a return based on
certain securities, instruments, or financial indices with another party, such
as a commercial bank, in exchange for a return based on different securities,
instruments, or financial indices.
By entering into a swap transaction, the funds may be able to protect the value
of a portion of its portfolio against declines in market value. The funds may
also enter into swap transactions to facilitate implementation of allocation
strategies between different market segments or countries or to take advantage
of market opportunities which may arise from time to time. A fund may be able to
enhance its overall performance if the return offered by the other party to the
swap transaction exceeds the return swapped by the fund. However, there can be
no assurance that the return the fund receives from the counterparty to the swap
transaction will exceed the return it swaps to that party.
While the funds will only enter into swap transactions with counterparties
considered creditworthy (and will monitor the creditworthiness of parties with
which it enters into swap transactions), a risk inherent in swap transactions is
that the other party to the transaction may default on its obligations under the
swap agreement. If the other party to the swap transaction defaults on its
obligations, the fund entering into the agreement would be limited to the
agreement's contractual remedies. There can be no assurance that the fund will
succeed when pursuing its contractual remedies. To minimize a fund's exposure in
the event of default, it will usually enter into swap transactions on a net
basis (i.e., the parties to the transaction will net the payments payable to
each other before such payments are made). When a fund enters into swap
transactions on a net basis, the net amount of the excess, if any, of the fund's
obligations over its entitlements with respect to each such swap agreement will
be accrued on a daily basis and an amount of liquid assets having an aggregate
market value at least equal to the accrued excess will be segregated by the
fund's custodian. To the extent a fund enters into swap transactions other than
on a net basis, the amount segregated will be the full amount of the fund's
obligations, if any, with respect to each such swap agreement, accrued on a
daily basis. See "Segregated Accounts," below.
Swap agreements may be considered illiquid by the SEC staff and subject to the
limitations on illiquid investments. See "Illiquid Securities" above.
B-7
<PAGE>
To the extent that there is an imperfect correlation between a fund's obligation
to its counterparty under the swap and the return on related assets in its
portfolio, the swap transaction may increase a fund's financial risk. No fund
therefore will enter into a swap transaction unless it owns or has the right to
acquire the securities or instruments representative of the return it is
obligated to swap with the counterparty to the swap transaction. It is not the
intention of any fund to engage in swap transactions in a speculative manner but
rather primarily to hedge or manage the risks associated with assets held in, or
to facilitate the implementation of portfolio strategies of purchasing and
selling assets for, the fund.
Segregated Accounts
In connection with when-issued securities, firm commitment agreements, and
certain other transactions in which any of the funds incur an obligation to
make payments in the future, the fund involved may be required to segregate
assets with its custodian bank in amounts sufficient to settle the transaction.
To the extent required, such segregated assets can consist of liquid assets,
including equity or other securities, or other instruments such as cash, United
States Government securities or other obligations as may be permitted by law.
Investment Companies
Each fund can invest up to 10% of its assets in other investment companies.
Borrowing
Each fund can borrow money from banks (no more than 33 1/3% of the market value
of its assets at the time of borrowing), rather than through the sale of
portfolio securities, when such borrowing appears more attractive for the fund.
Each can also borrow money from other sources temporarily (no more than 5% of
the total market value of its assets at the time of borrowing), when, for
example, the fund needs to meet liquidity requirements caused by greater than
anticipated redemptions. See "Fundamental Policies" above.
Currency Transactions
The value of a fund's assets as measured in United States dollars may be
affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and exchange control regulations, and the fund may incur costs in connection
with conversions between various currencies. To minimize the impact of such
factors on net asset values, the fund may engage in foreign currency
transactions in connection with their investments in foreign securities. The
funds will not speculate in foreign currency exchange, and will enter into
foreign currency transactions only to "hedge" the currency risk associated with
investing in foreign securities. Although such transactions tend to minimize
the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they
also may limit any potential gain which might result should the value of such
currency increase.
The funds will conduct their currency exchange transactions either on a spot
(i.e., cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market, or
through forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. A forward
currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency
at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the
contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract.
These contracts are entered into with large commercial banks or other currency
traders who are participants in the interbank market.
By entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of foreign currency
involved in underlying security transactions, a fund is able to protect itself
against possible loss between trade and settlement dates for that purchase or
sale resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the U.S.
dollar and such foreign currency. This practice is sometimes referred to as
"transaction hedging." In addition, when it appears that a particular foreign
currency may suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, a fund may
enter into a forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency
approximating the value of some or all of its portfolio securities denominated
in such foreign currency. This practice is sometimes referred to as "portfolio
hedging." Similarly, when it appears that the U.S. dollar may suffer a
substantial decline against a foreign currency, a fund may enter into a forward
contract to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount.
The funds may also hedge their foreign currency exchange rate risk by engaging
in currency financial futures, options and "cross-hedge" transactions. In
"cross-hedge" transactions, a fund holding securities denominated in one foreign
currency will enter into a forward currency contract to buy or sell a different
foreign currency (one that generally tracks the currency being hedged with
regard to price movements). Such cross-hedges are expected to help protect a
fund against an increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against
certain foreign currencies.
The funds may hold a portion of their respective assets in bank deposits
denominated in foreign currencies, so as to facilitate investment in foreign
securities as well as protect against currency fluctuations and the need to
convert such assets into U.S. dollars (thereby also reducing transaction costs).
To the extent these monies are converted back into U.S. dollars, the value of
the assets so maintained will be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations.
The forecasting of short-term currency market movement is extremely difficult
and whether a short-term hedging strategy will be successful is highly
uncertain. Moreover, it is impossible to forecast with absolute precision the
market value of portfolio securities at the expiration of a foreign currency
forward contract. Accordingly, a fund may be required to buy or sell additional
currency on the spot market (and bear the expense of such transaction) if its
predictions regarding the movement of foreign currency or securities markets
prove inaccurate. In addition, the use of cross-hedging transactions may involve
special risks, and may leave a fund in a
B-8
<PAGE>
less advantageous position than if such a hedge had not been established.
Because foreign currency forward contracts are privately negotiated
transactions, there can be no assurance that a fund will have flexibility to
roll-over the foreign currency forward contract upon its expiration if it
desires to do so. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the other party
to the contract will perform its obligations thereunder.
There is no express limitation on the percentage of a fund's assets that may be
committed to foreign currency exchange contracts. A fund will not enter into
foreign currency forward contracts or maintain a net exposure in such contracts
where that fund would be obligated to deliver an amount of foreign currency in
excess of the value of that fund's portfolio securities or other assets
denominated in that currency or, in the case of a cross-hedge transaction,
denominated in a currency or currencies that fund's investment adviser believes
will correlate closely to the currency's price movements. The funds generally
will not enter into forward contracts with terms longer than one year.
Foreign Investments
As described more fully in the prospectus, certain funds may invest in foreign
securities, including those in emerging markets. In addition to the general
risk factors discussed in the Prospectus, there are a number of country- or
region-specific risks and other considerations that may affect these
investments.
Investment in Europe. The total European market (consisting of the European
Union, the European Free Trade Association and Eastern European countries)
contains over 450 million consumers, a market larger than either the United
States or Japan. European businesses compete both intra-regionally and globally
in a wide range of industries, and recent political and economic changes
throughout Europe are likely further to expand the role of Europe in the global
economy. As a result, a great deal of interest and activity has been generated
aimed at understanding and benefiting from the "new" Europe that may result. The
incipient aspects of major developments in Europe as well as other
considerations means that there can be no guarantee that outcomes will be as
anticipated or will have results that investors would regard as favorable.
The European Union. The European Union ("EU") consists of Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (the "EU Nations"),
with a total population exceeding 370 million. The EU Nations have undertaken to
establish, among themselves, a single market that is largely free of internal
barriers and hindrances to the free movement of goods, persons, services and
capital. Although it is difficult to predict when this goal will be fully
realized, macro- and micro-economic adjustments already in train are indicative
of significant increases in efficiency and the ability of the EU Nations to
compete globally by simplifying product distribution networks, promoting
economies of scale, and increasing labor mobility, among other effects. The
establishment of the eleven-country European Monetary Union, a subset of the
European Union countries, with its own central bank, the European Central Bank;
its own currency, the Euro; and a single interest rate structure, represents a
new economic entity, the Euro-area. While authority for monetary policy thus
shifts from national hands to an independent supranational body, sovereignty
elsewhere remains largely at the national level. Uncertainties with regard to
balancing of monetary policy against national fiscal and other political issues
and their extensive ramifications represent important risk considerations for
investors in these countries.
Investment in the Pacific Basin. The economies of the Pacific Basin vary widely
in their stages of economic development. Some (such as Japan, Australia,
Singapore, and Hong Kong) are considered advanced by Western standards; others
(such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia) are considered "emerging"--rapidly
shifting from natural resource- and agriculture-based systems to more
technologically advanced systems oriented toward manufacturing and services. The
major reform of China's economy and polity continues to be an important
influence on economic growth internally, and, through trade, across the region.
Intra-regional trade has become increasingly important to a number of these
economies. Japan, the second largest economy in the world, is the dominant
economy in the Pacific Basin, with one of the highest per capita incomes in the
world. Its extensive trade relationships also contribute to expectations for
regional and global economic growth. Economic growth has historically been
relatively strong in the region, but recent economic turmoil among the emerging
economies, and unmitigated recessionary impulses in Japan, in the recent past
have raised important questions with regard to prospective longer-term outcomes.
Potential policy miscalculations or other events could pose important risks to
equity investors in any of these economies.
Investment in Canada. Canada, a country rich in natural resources and a leading
industrial country of the world, is by far the most important trading partner of
the United States. The U.S., Canada, and Mexico have established the North
American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"), which is expected to significantly
benefit the economies of each of the countries through the more rational
allocation of resources and production over the region. Uncertainty regarding
the longer-run political structure of Canada is an added risk to investors,
along with highly volatile commodity prices.
Investment in Latin America. Latin America (including Mexico and Central
America) has a population of approximately 455 million and is rich in natural
resources. Important gains in the manufacturing sector have developed in several
of the major countries in the region. A number of countries in the region have
taken steps to reduce impediments to trade, most notably through the NAFTA
agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico and the Mercosur agreement between
Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, with Chile as an associate member.
Restrictions on international capital flows, intermittent problems with capital
flight, and some potential difficulties in the repayment of external debt,
B-9
<PAGE>
however, remain important concerns in the region--exacerbating the risks in
these equity markets. As a result, Latin American equity markets have been
extremely volatile. Efforts to restructure these economies through privatization
and fiscal and monetary reform have been met with some success, with gains in
output growth and slowing rates of inflation. These efforts may result in
attractive investment opportunities. However, recent events have shown that
large shifts in sentiment in markets elsewhere on the globe may very quickly
reverberate among these markets, adding greater risk to already volatile
markets. There can be no assurance that attempted reforms will ultimately be
successful or will bring about results investors would regard as favorable.
Other Regions. There are developments in other regions and countries around the
world which could lead to additional investment opportunities. We will monitor
these developments and may invest when appropriate.
Depository Receipts. The funds can invest in American, European and Global
Depository Receipts ("ADRs," "EDRs" and "GDRs"). They are alternatives to the
purchase of the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies.
Although their prices are quoted in U.S. dollars, they don't eliminate all the
risks of foreign investing.
ADRs represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a
domestic bank or a foreign correspondent bank. To the extent that a fund
acquires ADRs through banks which do not have a contractual relationship with
the foreign issuer of the security underlying the ADR to issue and service such
ADRs, there may be an increased possibility that the fund would not become aware
of and be able to respond to corporate actions such as stock splits or rights
offerings involving the foreign issuer in a timely manner. In addition, the lack
of information may result in inefficiencies in the valuation of such
instruments. However, by investing in ADRs rather than directly in the stock of
foreign issuers, a fund will avoid currency risks during the settlement period
for either purchases or sales. In general, there is a large, liquid market in
the U.S. for ADRs quoted on a national securities exchange or the NASD's
national market system. The information available for ADRs is subject to the
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards of the domestic market or
exchange on which they are traded, which standards are more uniform and more
exacting than those to which many foreign issuers may be subject.
EDRs and GDRs are receipts evidencing an arrangement with a non-U.S. bank
similar to that for ADRs and are designed for use in non-U.S. securities
markets. EDRs and GDRs are not necessarily quoted in the same currency as the
underlying security.
Other Investment Techniques and Opportunities
The funds may take certain actions with respect to merger proposals, tender
offers, conversion of equity-related securities and other investment
opportunities with the objective of enhancing the portfolio's overall return,
regardless of how these actions may affect the weight of the particular
securities in the fund's portfolio. It is not our policy to select investments
based primarily on the possibility of one or more of these investment
techniques and opportunities being presented.
Portfolio Turnover
The transactions a fund engages in are reflected in its portfolio turnover
rate. The rate of portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of
the amount of purchases or sales of portfolio securities during the fiscal year
by the monthly average of the value of the fund's portfolio securities
(excluding from the computation all securities, including options, with
maturities at the time of acquisition of one year or less). A high rate of
portfolio turnover generally involves correspondingly greater brokerage
commission expenses, which must be borne directly by the fund and ultimately by
the fund's shareholders. However, because portfolio turnover is not a limiting
factor in determining whether or not to sell portfolio securities, a particular
investment may be sold at any time, if investment judgment or account
operations make a sale advisable.
The funds do not have fixed policies on portfolio turnover although, because a
higher portfolio turnover rate will increase brokerage costs, Advisors will
carefully weigh the added costs of short term investment against the gains
anticipated from such transactions.

Management of the Fund
The Board
A board of trustees (the Board) oversees the TIAA-CREF Life Funds' business
affairs and is responsible for major decisions about its investment objective
and policies. The Board delegates the day-to-day management of the fund to
Advisors and its officers (see below). The Board meets periodically to review
the fund's activities, contractual arrangements with companies that provide
services to the fund, and the performance of the investment portfolio.

Investment Advisory and Other Services
Investment Advisory Services
As explained in the prospectus, investment advisory services and related
services for the TIAA-CREF Life Funds are provided by personnel of Advisors,
which is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Advisors manages
the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds,
subject to the direction and control of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds' board of
trustees. Advisors' will perform all research, make recommendations, and place
orders for the purchase and sale of securities. Advisors also provides for
portfolio accounting, custodial, and related services for the assets of the
Stock Index Fund.
Advisory fees are payable monthly to Advisors. They are calculated as a
percentage of the average value of the net assets each day for each fund, and
are accrued daily proportionately at 1/365th (1/366th in a leap year) of the
rates set forth in the prospectus. For 1999, the total dollar amount of
investment management expenses for the Stock Index Fund attributable to advisory
fees, before and after Advisors' waiver of a portion of its fees, was $101,980
gross expenses, $78,185 waived expenses and $23,795 net expenses.
Personal Trading Policy. TIAA-CREF Life Funds and Advisors have adopted a
personal trading policy under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Under the policy, personnel of Advisors and members of their households are
limited in trading for their own accounts. The policy generally requires these
individuals to preclear and report all their securities transactions including
transactions in securities that are held or purchased by the TIAA-CREF Life
Funds. The policy can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room
in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room

issue a variable annuity. Together, TIAA and CREF
B-12
<PAGE>
form the principal retirement system for the nation's education and research
communities and one of the largest retirement systems in the world, based on
assets under management. TIAA-CREF serves approximately 2.2 million people. As
of December 31, 1999, TIAA's assets were approximately $110 billion; the
combined assets for TIAA and CREF totalled approximately $288 billion.
TIAA owns all of the shares of TIAA-CREF Enterprises, Inc., which in turn owns
all the shares of Advisors, TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company, and Teachers
Personal Investors Services, Inc., the principal underwriter for the TIAA-CREF
Life Funds and the TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company variable annuity contracts
funded by the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. TIAA also holds all the shares of TIAA-CREF
Investment Management, LLC ("Investment Management"). Investment Management
provides investment advisory services to the College Retirement Equities Fund,
TIAA's companion organization. All of the foregoing are affiliates of the
TIAA-CREF Life Funds and Advisors.
Custodian
Under the terms of a contract with Advisors, State Street Bank & Trust Company
("State Street"), 225 Franklin Street, Boston, MA 02209 acts as custodian for
the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. Advisors has agreed to pay State Street for these
services.
Administrative Services
Advisors has retained State Street to provide the TIAA-CREF Life Funds with
certain administrative services, including preparation of each fund's federal,
state and local tax returns, preparation of fund financial information, and
various other administrative services. Advisors, not the TIAA-CREF Life Funds,
has agreed to pay State Street a fee for such services.
Auditors
The financial statements of TIAA-CREF Life Funds are audited by Ernst & Young
LLP. The principal business address of Ernst & Young LLP is 787 Seventh Avenue,
New York, New York 10019.
Fund History and Description of the Fund
TIAA-CREF Life Funds is a Delaware business trust organized on August 13, 1998,
and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a
diversified "open-end" management investment company. It currently has five
investment portfolios (funds). As a Delaware business trust, the fund's
operations are governed by its Declaration of Trust dated August 13, 1998, as
amended (the Declaration). A copy of the fund's Certificate of Trust, dated
August 13, 1998, is on file with the Office of the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware.
Shareholders Meetings and Voting Rights
Under the Declaration, the TIAA-CREF Life Funds are not required to hold annual
meetings to elect Trustees or for other purposes, and therefore, we do not
anticipate that the fund will hold shareholders' meetings unless required by
law. The TIAA-CREF Life Funds will be required to hold a meeting to elect
Trustees to fill any existing vacancies on the Board if, at any time, fewer
than a majority of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders of the
TIAA-CREF Life Funds.
With regard to matters for which the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires a
shareholder vote, the separate account which issues the variable contracts
funded by the TIAA-CREF Life Funds, as the legal owner of the TIAA-CREF Life
Funds shares, typically votes fund shares in accordance with instructions
received from contractowners (or annuitants or beneficiaries thereunder) having
a voting interest in the separate account. Shares held by the separate account
for which no instructions are received are generally voted by the separate
account for or against any proposition, or in abstention, in the same proportion
as the shares for which instructions have been received. You should refer to the
separate prospectus, which accompanies this prospectus, describing your contract
and the separate account, for more information on your voting rights.
Shares
The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest in the fund, all without par value. Shares are divided into and may be
issued in a designated series representing beneficial interests in one of the
fund's investment portfolios. There is currently five series of shares and five
investment portfolios.
Each share of a series issued and outstanding is entitled to participate equally
in dividends and distributions declared by such series and, upon liquidation or
dissolution, in net assets allocated to such series remaining after satisfaction
of outstanding liabilities. The shares of each series, when issued, will be
fully paid and non-assessable and have no preemptive or conversion rights.
Each share (including fractional shares) is entitled to one vote for each dollar
of net asset value represented by the share on all matters to which the holder
of that share is entitled to vote. The shares do not have cumulative voting
rights.
Additional Portfolios
The TIAA-CREF Life Funds currently consists of five investment portfolios, or
funds. Pursuant to the Declaration, the Trustees may establish additional
investment funds (technically "series" of shares).
Valuation of Assets
The assets of the TIAA-CREF Life Funds are valued as of the close of each
valuation day in the following manner:
Equity Securities
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the
market value of such investments, determined as follows:
Equity securities listed or traded on a national market or exchange are valued
based on their sale price on such market or exchange at
B-13
<PAGE>
the close of business (usually 4:00 p.m. eastern time) on the date of valuation,
or at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices if no sale is reported. Such
an equity security may also be valued at fair value as determined in good faith
under the direction of the the board of trustees if events materially affecting
its value occur between the time its price is determined and the time a fund's
net asset value is calculated.
Foreign Investments
Investments traded on a foreign exchange or in foreign markets 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.
Since the trading of investments on a foreign exchange or in foreign markets is
normally completed before the end of a valuation day, such valuation does not
take place contemporaneously with the determination of the valuation of certain
other investments held by the fund. If events materially affecting the value of
foreign investments occur between the time their share price is determined and
the time when a fund's net asset value is calculated, such investments will be
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of trustees.
Debt Securities and Money Market Instruments
Debt securities (excluding money market instruments) for which market
quotations are readily available are valued based on the most recent bid price
or the equivalent quoted yield for such securities (or those of comparable
maturity, quality and type). These values will be derived utilizing an
independent pricing service, except when we believe the prices don't accurately
reflect the security's fair value.
Values for money market instruments with maturities of sixty days or less are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Values for money market
instruments with maturities of more than sixty days are valued in the same
manner as debt securities stated in the preceding paragraph, or derived from a
pricing matrix that has various types of money market instruments along one axis
and various maturities along the other.
All debt securities may also be valued at fair value as determined in good faith
by the board of trustees.
Options
Portfolio investments underlying options are valued as described above. Stock
options written by a fund are valued at the last quoted sale price, or at the
closing bid price if no sale is reported for the day of valuation as determined
on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The value of a fund's
net assets will be increased or decreased by the difference between the
premiums received on writing options and the costs of liquidating such
positions measured by the closing price of the options on the date of
valuation.
For example, when a fund writes a call option, the amount of the premium is
included in the fund's assets and an equal amount is included in its
liabilities. The liability thereafter is adjusted to the current market value of
the call. Thus, if the current market value of the call exceeds the premium
received, the excess would be unrealized depreciation; conversely, if the
premium exceeds the current market value, such excess would be unrealized
appreciation. If a call expires or if a fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction it realizes a gain (or a loss if the cost of the transaction exceeds
the premium received when the call was written) without regard to any unrealized
appreciation or depreciation in the underlying securities, and the liability
related to such call is extinguished. If a call is exercised, a fund realizes a
gain or loss from the sale of the underlying securities and the proceeds of the
sale increased by the premium originally received.
A premium paid on the purchase of a put will be deducted from a fund's assets
and an equal amount will be included as an investment and subsequently adjusted
to the current market value of the put. For example, if the current market value
of the put exceeds the premium paid, the excess would be unrealized
appreciation; conversely, if the premium exceeds the current market value, such
excess would be unrealized depreciation.
Stock and bond index futures, and options thereon, which are traded on
commodities exchanges, are valued at their last sale prices as of the close of
such commodities exchanges.
Investments for Which Market Quotations Are Not Readily Available
Portfolio securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily
available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the
direction of the board of trustees.
Brokerage Allocation
Advisors is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the fund as
well as for selecting brokers and, where applicable, negotiating the amount of
the commission rate paid. It is the intention of Advisors to place brokerage
orders with the objective of obtaining the best execution, which includes such
factors as best price, research and available data. When purchasing or selling
securities traded on the over-the-counter market, Advisors generally will
execute the transactions with a broker engaged in making a market for such
securities. When Advisors deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the
best interests of the fund, its personnel may, consistent with their fiduciary
obligations, decide either to buy or to sell a particular security for the fund
at the same time as for TIAA Separate Account VA-1, TIAA-CREF Mutual Funds,
TIAA-CREF Institutional Mutual Funds or any other investment account that it may
be managing, or at the same time as for a CREF account or other account that it
may also be managing on behalf of Investment Management, the other investment
adviser affiliated with TIAA. In that event, allocation of the securities
purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be
made in an equitable manner.
B-14
<PAGE>
Domestic brokerage commissions are negotiated, as there are no standard rates.
All brokerage firms provide the service of execution of the order made; some
brokerage firms also provide research and statistical data, and research reports
on particular companies and industries are customarily provided by brokerage
firms to large investors. In negotiating commissions, consideration is given by
Advisors to the quality of execution provided and to the use and value of the
data. The valuation of such data may be judged with reference to a particular
order or, alternatively, may be judged in terms of its value to the overall
management of the portfolio.
Advisors will place orders with brokers providing useful research and
statistical data services if reasonable commissions can be negotiated for the
total services furnished even though lower commissions may be available from
brokers not providing such services. Advisors follows guidelines established by
the Board for the placing of orders with the brokers providing such services. In
1999, no brokerage commissions were paid by the Stock Index Fund to brokers on
account of research services.
The aggregate amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Stock Index Fund
during 1999 was $7,098.
Research or services obtained for one fund may be used by personnel of Advisors
in managing the other funds or other investment company accounts, or the CREF
accounts for Investment Management. In such circumstances, the expenses incurred
will be allocated in an equitable manner consistent with the fiduciary
obligations of personnel of Advisors to each of the funds.
During 1999, the Stock Index Fund acquired securities of certain of the regular
brokers or dealers or their parents. These entities and the value of the Stock
Index Fund's aggregate holdings in the securities of those entities are set
forth below:

</TABLE>
Performance Information
From time to time, we will advertise the total return and average annual total
return of the fund. Total return is computed on a per share basis and assumes
the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Total return generally is
expressed as a percentage rate which is calculated by combining the income and
principal changes for a specified period and dividing by the net asset value per
share at the beginning of the period. Advertisements may include the percentage
rate of total return or may include the value of a hypothetical investment at
the end of the period, which assumes the application of the percentage rate of
total return.
Average annual total return is calculated pursuant to a standardized formula
which assumes that an investment in the fund was purchased with an initial
payment of $1,000 and that the investment was redeemed at the end of a stated
period of time, after giving effect to the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions during the period. The return is expressed as a percentage rate
which, if applied on a compounded annual basis, would result in the redeemable
value of the investment at the end of the period. Advertisements of the fund's
performance will include the fund's average annual total return for one-, five-
and ten-year periods (and occasionally other periods as well).
All performance figures are based on past investment results. They aren't a
guarantee that the fund will perform equally or similarly in the future. Write
or call us for current performance figures for the fund.
Calculation of Performance Data
We may quote a fund's performance in various ways. All performance information
in advertising is historical and is not intended to indicate future returns. A
fund's share price, yield, and total return fluctuate in response to market
conditions and other factors, and the value of fund shares when redeemed may be
more or less than their original cost. Performance of the funds will be
presented net of any separate account fees and charges.
Total Return Calculations
Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all aspects of a fund's returns,
including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain distributions,
and any change in the fund's NAV over a stated period. Average annual returns
are calculated by determining the
B-15
<PAGE>
growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in the fund
over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded percentage
rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline
in value had been constant over the period according to the following formula:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
P (1 + T)n = ERV
where: P = the hypothetical initial payment
T = average annual total return
n = number of years in the period
ERV = ending redeemable value of the hypo-
thetical payment made at the beginning
of the one-, five-, or 10-year period at
the end of the one-, five-, or 10-year
period (or fractional portion thereof).
</TABLE>
For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would produce an average
annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate that would equal 100%
growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While average annual returns are a
convenient means of comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize
that the fund's performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to
year, and that average annual returns represent averaged figures as opposed to
the actual year-to-year performance of the fund.
In addition to average annual returns, we may quote a fund's unaveraged or
cumulative total returns reflecting the actual change in value of an investment
over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total returns may be quoted
as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be calculated for a single
investment, a series of investments, or a series of redemptions, over any time
period. Total returns may be broken down into their components of income and
capital (including capital gains and changes in share price) in order to
illustrate the relationship of these factors and their contributions to total
return. Total returns may be quoted on a before or after tax basis. Total
returns, yields, and other performance information may be quoted numerically or
in a table, graph, or similar illustration.
Performance Returns
Set forth below is the calculation of the Stock Index Fund's performance, which
reflects all expense deductions from fund assets, applied to a hypothetical
investment of $1,000 in that fund. Because they are new, we have not included
the returns of the other funds.

formula calculations (e.g., yield) may differ from index to index. In addition,
there can be no assurance that any of the funds will continue its performance as
compared to such indices.
We may also advertise ratings or rankings the funds receive from various rating
services and organizations, including but not limited to any organization listed
above.
The Stock Index Fund is not promoted, sponsored, endorsed, or sold by, nor

Illustrating Compounding, Tax Deferral, and Expense Deductions
We may illustrate in advertisements, sales literature, and reports to
contractowners or annuitants the effects of tax deferral and/or compounding of
earnings on an investment in the TIAA-CREF Life Funds. We may do this using a
hypothetical investment earning a specified rate of return. To illustrate the
effects of compounding, we would show how the total return from an investment
of the same dollar amount, earning the same or different interest rate, varies
depending on when the investment was made. To illustrate the effects of tax
deferral, we will show how the total return from an investment of the same
dollar amount, earning the same or different interest rates, for individuals in
the same tax bracket, would vary between tax-deferred and taxable investments.
We may also illustrate in advertisements, sales literature, and reports to
contractowners or annuitants the effect of an investment fund's expenses on
total return over time. We may do this using a hypothetical investment earning a
specified rate of return. We would show how the total return, net of expenses,
from an investment of the same dollar amount in funds with the same investment
results but different expense deductions varies increasingly over time. In the
alternative, we would show the difference in the dollar amount of total expense
charges paid over time by an investor in two or more different funds that have
the same annual total return but different asset-based expense charges. We may
also compare the TIAA-CREF Life Funds' expense charges to those of other
investment products.
Net Asset Value
Charts and graphs using a fund's NAVs, adjusted NAVs, and benchmark indices may
be used to exhibit performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid
by the fund and reflects all elements of its return.
Moving Averages
We may illustrate the fund's performance using moving averages. A long-term
moving average is the average of each week's adjusted closing NAV for a
specified period. A short-term moving average is the average of each day's
adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. "Moving Average Activity
Indicators" combine adjusted closing NAVs from the last business day of each
week with moving averages for a specified period to produce indicators showing
when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or stayed below its moving average.
Tax Status
Although the TIAA-CREF Life Funds are organized as a Delaware business trust,
neither the TIAA-CREF Life Funds nor any of the funds will be subject to any
corporate excise or franchise tax in the State of Delaware, nor will they be
liable for Delaware income taxes provided that each fund qualifies as a
"regulated investment company" ("RIC") for federal income tax purposes and
satisfies certain income source requirements of Delaware law. If the funds so
qualify and distribute all of their income and capital gains, they will also be
exempt from the New York State franchise tax and the New York City general
corporation tax, except for small minimum taxes.
Each fund intends to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In
general, to qualify as a RIC: (a) at least 90% of the gross income of the fund
for the taxable year must be derived from dividends, interest, payments with
respect to loans of securities, gains from the sale or other disposition of
securities or foreign currencies, or other income derived with respect to its
business of investing in securities; (b) the fund must distribute to its
shareholders 90% of its ordinary income and net short-term capital gains
(undistributed net income may be subject to tax at the fund level) and (c) the
fund must diversify its assets so that, at the close of each quarter of its
taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the fair market value of its total (gross)
assets is comprised of cash, cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities
of other regulated investment companies and other securities limited in respect
of any one issuer to no more than 5% of the fair market value of the fund's
total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and
(ii) no more than 25% of the fair market value of its total assets is invested
in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities and
securities of other regulated investment companies) or of two or more issuers
controlled by the fund and engaged in the same, similar, or related trades or
businesses.
If a fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the fund will be subject to federal and
possibly state and local corporate taxes on its taxable income and gains
(without any deduction for its distributions to its shareholders) and
distributions to its shareholders will constitute ordinary income to the extent
of the fund's available earnings and profits. Owners of a variable annuity or
other variable insurance contracts invested in the fund might be taxed currently
on the investment earnings under their contracts and thereby lose the benefit of
tax deferral. This could also happen if the fund fails to comply with the
diversification requirements required of insurance company separate accounts
under the Code.
Each fund must declare and distribute dividends equal to at least 98% of its
ordinary income (as of the twelve months ended December 31) and distributions of
at least 98% of its capital gain net income (as of the twelve months ended
October 31), in order to avoid a federal excise tax. Each fund intends to make
the required distributions, but they cannot guarantee that they will do so.
Dividends attributable to each fund's ordinary income and capital gains
distributions are taxable as such to shareholders in the year in which they are
received except dividends declared in October, November or December and paid in
January. Dividends in the latter category are treated as paid on December 31.
This discussion of the tax treatment of the funds and their distributions is
based on the federal, Delaware and New York tax laws in effect as of the date of
this SAI. Contractowners should consult their tax advisers to determine the tax
treatment of their investment.

constituting TIAA-CREF Life Funds) (the "Funds") as of March 10, 2000, and the
related statements of operations and changes in net assets and financial
highlights for the period March 1, 2000 (commencement of operations) to March
10, 2000. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of March 10, 2000, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Funds at March 10, 2000, and the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and the financial highlights for the period from March 1, 2000
to March 10, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.

TIAA-CREF LIFE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION
TIAA-CREF Life Funds is a Delaware business 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. It consists of five series, the Stock Index Fund
which invests in a diversified portfolio selected to track the overall market
for common stocks publicly traded in the United States, as represented by a
broad stock market index; the Growth Equity Fund which invests primarily in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks that present the opportunity for
exceptional growth; the Growth & Income Fund which invests primarily in a
broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks selected for their investment
potential; the International Equity Fund which invests primarily in a broadly
diversified portfolio of foreign equity investments and the Social Choice Equity
Fund which invests primarily in a diversified set of common stocks of companies
whose activities are consistent with the Fund's social criteria. These financial
statements consist of the Growth Equity, Growth & Income, International Equity
and Social Choice Equity Funds (the "Funds"). The financial statements of the
Stock Index Fund are not included in these financial statements.
TIAA-CREF Life Separate Account VA-1 (the "Account"), which is registered with
the Commission as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act consists of five
sub-accounts which correspond to and invest in each of the Funds. The Account is
a separate account of TIAA-CREF Life Insurance Company ("TIAA-CREF Life") which
commenced operations as a legal reserve life insurance company under the
insurance laws of the State of New York on December 18, 1996, and is a
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association
of America ("TIAA"), also a legal reserve life insurance company which was
established under the insurance laws of the State of New York in 1918.
The Funds commenced operations on March 1, 2000, when the Accounts purchased
4,000 shares at $25.00 per share for a total of $100,000 in each of the
corresponding Funds. On March 1, 2000, TIAA purchased 2,000,000 shares at $25
per share for a total of $50,000,000 in each of the Growth Equity, Growth &
Income and International Equity Funds and also purchased 1,000,000 shares at $25
per share for a total of $25,000,000 in the Social Choice Equity Fund. At March
10, 2000, the values of these investments were as follows:

Social Choice Equity Fund .......... 98,720 24,682,563
</TABLE>
Teachers Advisors, Inc. ("Advisors"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of
TIAA, which is registered with the Commission as an investment adviser, provides
investment management services for the Funds and is also responsible for
providing, or obtaining at its own expense, the services reasonably necessary
for the ordinary operation of the Funds. Advisors has borne any costs necessary
to organize the Funds.
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements may require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income,
expenses and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from those
estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
followed by the Funds, which are in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
Valuation of Investments: 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, except for bonds which are valued at
the most recent bid price or the equivalent quoted yield of such bonds. 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. Money market instruments are valued at fair market value,
except for such instruments within 60 days to maturity, which are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method
initially values securities at original cost and assumes a constant amortization
to maturity of any discount or premium. Portfolio securities for which market
quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities) are
valued at fair value, as determined in good faith under the direction of the
Board of Trustees.
B-26
<PAGE>
TIAA-CREF LIFE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accounting for Investments: Securities transactions are accounted for as of the
date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and
losses on securities transactions are accounted for on the specific
identification basis. Interest income is recorded as earned and, for short-term
money market instruments, includes accrual of discount and amortization of
premium. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain
foreign dividends which are recorded as the Funds are informed of the
ex-dividend date.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation: The records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. 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 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 enter into forward foreign
currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currency to accommodate foreign
investment transactions. Forward foreign currency contracts are "marked-to
market" at the end of each day's trading. Daily changes in the value of such
contracts are reflected in net unrealized gains and losses. Gains or losses are
realized upon maturity or if the counterparties do not perform in accordance
with contractual provisions.
Federal Income Taxes: The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment
companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and will not be
subject to income taxes to the extent that they distribute substantially all
taxable income each year.
NOTE 3--MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Under the terms of an Investment Management Agreement, each Fund pays a fee for
investment management services, based on the average daily net assets of each
Fund. Advisors has currently waived its right to receive a portion of its fee
from each Fund. As a result, Advisors will receive the following annual
percentages of each Fund's average daily net assets:

Item 25. Indemnification
As a Delaware business trust, Registrant's operations are governed by its
Declaration of Trust dated August 13, 1998, as amended (the Declaration of
Trust). Generally, Delaware business trust shareholders are not personally
liable for obligations of the Delaware business trust under Delaware law. The
Delaware Business Trust Act (the DBTA) provides that a shareholder of a trust
shall be entitled to the same limitation of liability extended to shareholders
of private for-profit Delaware corporations. Registrant's Declaration of Trust
expressly provides that it has been organized under the DBTA and that the
Declaration of Trust is to be governed by Delaware law. It is nevertheless
possible that a Delaware business trust, such as Registrant, might become a
party to an action in another state whose courts refuse to apply Delaware law,
in which case Registrant's shareholders could be subject to personal liability.
To protect Registrant's shareholders against the risk of personal liability,
the Declaration of Trust: (i) contains an express disclaimer of shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of Registrant and provides that notice of
such disclaimer may be given in each agreement, obligation and instrument
entered into or executed by Registrant or its Trustees; (ii) provides for the
indemnification out of Trust property of any shareholders held personally
liable for any obligations of Registrant or any series of Registrant; and (iii)
provides that Registrant shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim
made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of Registrant and
satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring
financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which all of the following factors are present: (i)
a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (ii) the liability arose under tort law
or, if not, no contractual limitation of liability was in effect; and (iii)
Registrant itself would be unable to meet its obligations. In the light
C-4
<PAGE>
of Delaware law, the nature of Registrant's business and the nature of its
assets, the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that Registrant shall indemnify each
of its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses reasonably
incurred by them, in connection with, or arising out of, any action, suit or
proceeding, threatened against or otherwise involving such Trustee or officer,
directly or indirectly, by reason of being or having been a Trustee or officer
of Registrant. The Declaration of Trust does not authorize Registrant to
indemnify any Trustee or officer against any liability to which he or she would
otherwise be subject by reason of or for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of such person's duties.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons, or
otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification may be against public policy as expressed in the Act and
may be, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or controlling person of Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
Trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement, will be
validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.

POLICY STATEMENT ON PERSONAL TRADING
------------------------------------
Introduction
- ------------
The federal securities laws impose certain standards upon the
personal trading activities of all individuals. In particular, all investors are
precluded from engaging in insider trading or tipping. Investment company
personnel, however, are subject to specific additional regulations that address
potential conflicts arising from their personal investment activities. These
potential conflicts -- and standards to address them -- are the subject of this
Policy Statement on Personal Trading.
All CREF Investments Area personnel are subject to the
standards set forth in this Policy Statement. In addition, all TIAA-CREF
personnel are subject to the Code of Business Conduct and to the TIAA-CREF
Policy Statement on Conflicts of Interest.
The Investment Law Division monitors TIAA-CREF's compliance
with the federal securities laws. Investment area operating divisions have
specific compliance responsibilities as stated below.

least six months and intend to reside together on a permanent
basis, are mutually responsible for their common welfare, and
maintain no other such domestic partnership or marriage.
o "Large Cap Securities" mean securities of companies with
market capitalizations of $5 billion or more.
