Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)Investment Choices

As a CSRS or FERS federal employee, you can invest any portion of your account in any of the Thrift Savings Plan investment funds:

  • G Fund (Government Securities Investment) 
  • F Fund (Fixed Income Index Investment)
  • C Fund (Common Stock Index Investment)
  • S Fund (Small Capitalization Stock Index Investment)
  • I Fund (International Stock Index Investment
  • L Funds (Lifecycle)

You can allocate any whole percentage of your future contributions (including loan payments and transfers from traditional IRAs or eligible employer plans) to any of the TSP investment funds by making a contribution allocation.  You can redistribute your existing account balance among the funds by making an interfund transfer.
