5.38% | 8.61% | (11.94%) | (7.32%) | (21.86%) |
* The G, F and C Fund returns for the last 12 months assume, except for the crediting of earnings, unchanging balances (time-weighting) from month to month and assume earnings are compounded on a monthly basis. The S and I Funds were implemented in May 2001, so the 12-month returns reflect the performance of the S and I Funds for May 2001 and the related Barclay’s funds in which they are invested for the previous 11 months. Percentages in parenthesis are negative.
The monthly G, F, C, S and I Fund returns represent the actual total rates of return used to allocate monthly earnings to participant accounts. Allocations are usually completed by the 4th business day of the month. The returns are shown after deduction of accrued TSP Administrative expenses. The F, C, S and I Fund returns also reflect the deduction of trading costs and accrued investment management fees.
