you'll need the account number from Fidelity, which will be the same at Tiaa-Cref...  looking over the portfolios... my daughter is 2 and will need this when she's 17/18.. so that leaves about 15 years for investment.. should I go aggressive or index fund?

Putting everything into a stock index fund would be the easy way to go.  What are you considering that would be more aggressive than that?

Over the long haul, actively managed under performs indexed, unless you have a superstar manager which I'm guessing Tiaa-Cref doesn't have.  Even superstar managers tend to lose their touch sooner or later.

He is definitely the poster child, but Bill Gross and a couple of high profile hedge funds also come to mind.  The "new normal" has ruined the records of many previously "untouchable" managers.
