Even in hot stock market TSP investors love super-cool G fund


Despite 20-30-plus-percent returns for the TSP’s C, S and I stock index funds last year, a slight majority of federal workers investing for retirement have most of their optional retirement nest egg money in the super-safe, Treasury securities G fund.

The C fund, which tracks the S&P 500 index, returned 31.45% in 2019. The small cap S fund return was 27.97% and the international stock index I fund was up 27.97%. The F fund (bonds) return was 8.68% while the popular G fund returned 2.24% in calendar 2019.

As of Dec. 31, 2019, the TSP total value was $632.6 billion.

Isn't something a miss in this paragraph ?
{Among the popular self-adjusting Lifecycle funds the L-income’s — with the smallest percentage of stocks and largest investment in treasury securities and bonds — return was 7.60% last year. The L-2030 fund return was 17.60% and the L-2050 returned 23.33% in 2018.
I believe 2018 should read 2019.

Yes it should, based on the data presented to the right of the article. As a long time reader of Federal Employee newspapers, including the frequently inaccurate/incomplete Federal Jobs Digest, editing mistakes are all too common.

At least their performances and fees are very reasonable appeals to others
