HOW TO INVEST IN SILVER: Silver IRA Investing

On March 12th, 2019, the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) announced that it would be making some changes to its funds. The TSP is a retirement savings plan for federal employees and members of the military, and it is one of the largest retirement plans in the world, with over $500 billion in assets.

The TSP will be adding two new funds to its lineup: the TSP F Fund and the TSP I Fund. The F Fund will invest in a broad range of fixed-income securities, including U.S. Treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The I Fund will invest in international stocks and bonds.

In addition to the new funds, the TSP will also be changing the benchmarks it uses for its funds. For example, the C Fund, which currently tracks the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, will be switching to the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market index. This change will broaden the scope of the fund, as it will now include small and mid-sized companies in addition to large-cap stocks.

The TSP is also making some changes to its Lifecycle (L) Funds, which are designed to automatically adjust the allocation of stocks and bonds based on the investor’s projected retirement date. The TSP will be adding a new L Fund, the L 2065 Fund, which is designed for investors who will be retiring around the year 2065. This new fund will have a more aggressive investment strategy, with a higher allocation to stocks.

Overall, the changes to the TSP’s funds are aimed at providing investors with more options and a more diverse range of investments. The TSP is always looking for ways to improve its offerings and provide the best possible retirement savings options for federal employees and members of the military. With these new changes, the TSP continues to be a top choice for retirement savings.
