TSP 101
The G Fund's rate isn't set by daily trading like the other funds. Instead, the U.S. Treasury calculates it once a month, based on the weighted average yield of around 202 Treasury securities as of the last day of the previous month. Because that rate stays fixed for the whole month, the G Fund's share price tends to rise by a small, steady amount almost every trading day.
