  • Mutual Fund Window

    Mutual Fund Window
    2024/07/17
    The government made changes to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) by introducing a mutual fund window in 2022, offering access to 5,000 additional mutual funds beyond the typical GFC Sni funds. To explore these mutual funds, individuals can log into tsp.gov, create a mutual fund window account, and assess the fees associated with these funds. Despite the potential for higher fees, it's essential to evaluate if utilizing these mutual funds aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
