I was told that when you look at a lot of these funds - they have been merged into other funds - this is to hide thier serious underperfomance. It is an old trick - www.fundalarm.com - he keeps up with this stuff. Some of these funds are bond funds - they haven't done so well in an environment where interest has went up eh? The funds included - have they had poor performance the past 3,5, 10 years? The move is intended to reduce investor confusion and help maintain fees at a competitive level, Fees - that is always a good sign you are gonna pay more eh? Here is more talk about TIAA fees going up in this merger. socialize.morningstar.com
