What is the class action claim?
TIAA engaged in prohibited transactions under ERISA in connection with rolling participants in TIAA 401-K Plans out of TIAA record-kept plans and into TIAA managed IRAs which charged higher fees. Affected participants may have engaged in a partial rollover, leaving some assets in the plan invested in TIAA annuity funds, and rolling the rest into a managed IRA as part of the Completion Portfolio managed account program. Or a participant may have done a 100% rollover and invested in one of two TIAA managed account programs, Portfolio Advisor for accounts under $1m, and Private Asset Management for over $1 million.
Who can join this class action?
