Real estate
How safe is TIAA-CREF’s Real Estate Annuity Fund.
Fund invests mainly in actual real estate not REITs.
Real estate should be protected against inflation and large stock market losses.
I have about 30% of my assets in the fund.
Terry Says
Those fund shares have already declined a bit, reflecting uncertainty over future valuations and collections of rent. But this is inside your annuity, which must have other protective features. And real estate in general should be a good hedge against future inflation.
So I really can’t comment, except that I would never have 30 percent of my retirement assets in any one fund.
