Thanks, johnN. Not sure why you posted this or where you found it, but the M* ratings are generally positive (3****, 1 ***), and all seem to be above 30%tile over time. Since I have a residual 403b with TIAA , although the university (and business school, I suspect) extorted access to a selection of non-TIAA funds that seemed superior at the time, these do offer the relatively conservative approach that we geezerly baby boomers need with fairly modest expenses. (And, btw, I resent the comment posted a few days ago that "no one under 75 reads newspapers anymore", since i am under 75, and have been known to peruse newsprint relatively often.) I'll compare the ERs with the non-TIAA funds, but there seem to be some relative winners here.
