TSP's C Fund up in December
The Thrift Savings Plan's C Fund - which invests in common stocks - gained nearly 6 percent in December, following a 2 percent gain in November, according to the latest statistics from the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board.
After losing 0.01 percent in November, the F Fund (fixed-income bonds) declined again, by 0.45 percent, in December. The G Fund (government securities) was up 0.54 percent, following a gain of 0.51 percent in November.
The monthly C, F and G Fund returns reflect net earnings on the changing balances invested during the month.
Over the past year (December 1998 to December 1999), the C Fund is up 20.95 percent, the F Fund is down 0.85 percent and the G Fund is up 5.99 percent.
