About 5 million people have a TSP account with choice of only 5 funds: the S, C, I, G, F funds. A unique strategy must be devised, due to the inherent restrictions on these accounts.

-- Less active TSP managers will just max out on the strongest fund (C fund, as of March 2020) through highs and lows.
-- More active TSP managers have been rotating between funds, per an established backtested pattern, such as what is displayed on chart #1 (TLH) below. Bottom line: more active management of the TSP per this method, has generated approx *60 PERCENT HIGHER yearly returns* than the less active strategy.

If you like this method, schedule a call to talk with me monthly.
