TSP's C Fund on the rise
The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board has reported that the Thrift Savings Plan's C Fund - which invests in common stocks - rose 5.5 percent in June, following a 2.4 percent drop in May.
After losing 0.89 percent in May, the F Fund (fixed-income bonds) dropped another 0.33 percent in June. The G Fund (government securities) was up 0.49 percent, following a gain of 0.47 percent in May.
The monthly C, F and G Fund returns reflect net earnings on the changing balances invested during the month.
Over the past year (June 1998 to June 1999), the C Fund is up 22.7 percent, the F Fund 3.1 percent and the G Fund 5.5 percent.
For a daily index of the performance of the C Fund, see the "TSP Ticker" on the front page of GovExec.com. For more TSP information, see the Thrift Savings Plan guide.
