We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Is TSP better than 401k?

I would encourage you to keep the TSP. It has lower expenses than virtually any 401k out there, and is competitive or better than most IRAs. It also has fund options like the G fund which provides a higher risk-free return than you can get elsewhere, so is very helpful in/near retirement.

What is the purpose of a TSP?

The TSP is a retirement savings and investment plan for federal employees. The purpose of the TSP is to provide retirement income through savings and tax deferred benefits that many private corporations offer their employees.

What does Dave Ramsey say about TSP funds?

Dave Ramseys advice is to save 5% into the TSP to get the full match, then max out a Roth IRA, and then put more into the TSP if you are able to save more after that.

What is TSP and how does it work?

TSP offers a retirement strategy that makes it easier to save. Like the 401(k) plans offered by many private employers, TSP saves a percentage of your pay you decide how much through payroll deductions. Any contributions you make are yours to keep, whether you leave the military or stay in until retirement.

What is the best performing TSP fund?

The C and S Funds are generally considered the best TSP options for long-term growth. The C Fund invests in large-cap U.S. stocks (SP 500), while the S Fund covers small- and mid-sized companies. These stock funds tend to offer higher returns over time, especially when held consistently over many years.
