Performance among the Thrift Savings Plan’s stock funds was mostly down last month and the Lifecycle funds dropped, too, following slight gains in February.
Compared to a year ago, all funds posted lower returns except the G fund, according to monthly returns released by the TSP on Monday. The government securities investment G fund, which had a return of 0.13% for April 2021, had a 0.20% return in April 2022.
The G fund continues its streak of modest, yet consistent month-over-month growth that has been happening for at least 55 months — the earliest data Federal News Network has recorded.
The common stock index C fund had the biggest drop in April. It finished last month with a return of -8.72% compared to 3.72% in March. However, it is the only fund aside from the G fund that remains in the black over the last year, posting 12-month gains of 0.21%.
Lifecycle funds finished in the red last month after finishing entirely in the black for March. The biggest monthly losses were in the L 2055 and L 2060 funds, which both fell from 1.88% in March to -8.11% last month.
Year over year, all Lifecycle funds were down in March.
