TSP 101
L Funds are built from a target mix of the G, F, C, S, and I Funds that shifts over time toward more conservative investments as the target date approaches. To keep that mix on track day to day, the L Funds use automatic daily rebalancing, which adjusts the proportions regardless of how markets move.
