TIAA TREA graph includes M* misc sector comparison?

Post by ResearchMed »

TIAA has a regular summary page for TREA, and that includes a "growth" graph where one can select from a drop-down menu of various look-back periods, from 3 mos to 10 years.
(That also happens to show the nice 10.10% YTD return :-) )

This should be the publicly available TREA page.
Sorry: I don't know how to link it without risking including some identifiers.

Very recently, that graph shows a second comparison graph, for the time period approx 2012 - 2015. (2012 is as far back as this graph can go.)

It is labeled "Category Average". That made no sense; what is the "category" for TREA other than perhaps RE or REITS, in which case, why not label it that way?
However, only while hovering over that graph, it shows a temporary label of "Morningstar Miscellaneous Sector".
Some "miscellaneous" sector? What is that supposed to mean?

And if there are values from 2012 - 2015, what happened to 2015 --> ?

This is something quite new.

This signature is a placebo. You are in the control group.
