TSP Mutual fund window

I was planning to rollover my TSP account to Schwab, as the money market rates are dropping and I was unenthusiastic about using an index fund

However, I looked at the choices in the TSP Mutual Fund Window and am quite impressed. In addition to all the usual suspects, there are GMO funds, DFA funds and a lot of our favorites, many in institutional classes. No PRWCX though

Anybody else tried this?

  • What are the fees? Brokerage windows within workplace plans aren't cheap and that may be by design to discourage overuse by the uninitiated.

    "Fees you’ll pay
    $55 annual administrative fee to ensure that use of the mutual fund window does not indirectly increase TSP administrative expenses for TSP participants who choose not to use the mutual fund window
    $95 annual maintenance fee
    $28.75 per-trade fee
    Other fees and expenses specific to the mutual funds you choose, which you can review in each fund’s prospectus"
  • Yes I saw those. I would only use it for outstanding funds that were unavailable elsewhere, like GMO and DFA
