Why Federal Employees Should Stay Proactive with Their TSP Investments
Recent performance of the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) funds underscores the need for federal employees to stay engaged with their retirement planning. In April, the C and S Funds saw declines, while the I Fund extended its positive streak (FedWeek).
For those relying on TSP as a cornerstone of their federal retirement benefits, understanding these trends is crucial. Market shifts can affect retirement timelines, making proactive management essential.
Strategies to Strengthen Your Federal Retirement Plan
- Rebalance Periodically – Adjust your TSP allocations based on performance and risk tolerance.
- Consider Lifecycle (L) Funds – These automatically adjust asset allocation as you near retirement.
- Supplement with Other Benefits – Federal employees should explore FERS pensions, Social Security integration, and FEHB health benefits for a comprehensive retirement strategy.
