TSP funds explained
The Thrift Savings Plan has five individual funds (G, F, C, S and I) and a set of Lifecycle (L) Funds that mix them for a target retirement date. Each one follows a different part of the market, so they rarely move the same way on the same day.

The five individual funds
- G FundTracks no market index: it holds special U.S. Treasury securities issued only to the TSP.
- F FundTracks the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: U.S. government, corporate and mortgage-backed bonds.
- C FundTracks the S&P 500 Index: about 500 of the largest U.S. companies.
- S FundTracks the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index: U.S. small and mid-size companies not in the S&P 500.
- I FundTracks the MSCI ACWI IMI ex USA ex China ex Hong Kong Index: international stocks in developed and emerging markets.
Lifecycle (L) Funds
Each L Fund is a ready-made mix of the five individual funds, chosen for a target retirement date. As the date approaches, the mix gradually shifts toward the G and F Funds; L Income is the mix for people already withdrawing.
