All TSP Funds Rebound in June

Following a May in which most of the federal 401(k)-style retirement savings program's funds lost value, all offerings in the Thrift Savings Plan rebounded last month.

The common stocks of the C Fund led the way, gaining 7.04% in June. Since January, the C Fund has grown 18.53%. The small- and mid-size businesses of the S Fund increased 6.8%, bringing its 2019 growth to 19.48%.

The G Fund, which is made up of government securities, increased 0.19% last month, for a 2019 total of 1.28%.

All portfolios in the TSP’s lifecycle funds, which shift toward more stable investments as participants get closer to retirement, also increased in June. The L Income Fund, designed for people who already have begun making withdrawals, grew 1.57% last month; L 2020, 2.04%; L 2030, 4.11%; L 2040, 4.87%; and L 2050, 5.52%.
