About TLYIX
Nuveen Lifecycle Index 2035 Fund R6 is a target-date mutual fund designed primarily to help investors prepare financially for retirement expected around the year 2035. Functioning as a fund of funds, it strategically invests in a diversified mix of underlying Nuveen-managed index funds that span both equity and fixed-income markets. The portfolio allocation automatically adjusts over time, gradually shifting from a higher emphasis on equity assets toward more conservative, income-focused fixed-income investments as the target date approaches, embodying a glidepath approach to risk management. This design helps balance the need for capital appreciation in early years with capital preservation as retirement nears. The fund notably maintains a low expense ratio, employs a passive index-based strategy, and offers broad exposure across U.S., international, and emerging market equities, as well as various bond segments. As part of the TIAA/CREF family, the fund plays a significant role in retirement planning, offering investors a professionally managed, diversified, and efficient investment vehicle aligned with long-term retirement goals.
