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.

Call to discuss my philosophic approaches to retirement account management, scripting alerts, scans, macroeconomic indicators, valuation filters, screens, using leverage (3x ETFs vs options), economic development, philanthropy, etc. --- or, just to let me know how this approach has helped you and your family.
