TSP's C Fund drops steeply in November
The Thrift Savings Plan's C Fund - which invests in common stocks - continued its fall swoon, dropping 7.87 percent in November, according to the latest statistics from the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board.
The steep drop came on the heels of a 0.4 percent decline in October and a 5.27 percent decrease in September. The C fund has dropped in eight different months this year.
The F Fund (fixed-income bonds) was up 1.65 percent in November, while the G Fund (government securities) gained 0.48 percent.
The monthly C, F and G Fund returns reflect net earnings on the changing balances invested during the month.
Overall, the C Fund has lost 4.25 percent over the past year (December 1999 to November 2000), the F Fund is up 9.13 percent and the G Fund is up 6.48 percent.
