Feds - TSP allocation?

I'm kind of ashamed to admit that after nearly 3 years of being a Fed, I haven't made any moves with my TSP allocation and it's still 100% in the G fund.  I''m thinking it's time to fix that.  This does make me a little nervous given the economy but I'm obviously in it for the long haul at my age (31).  I just feel so clueless when it comes to investing.  Should I dump it all into the L fund?  Keep some in G?  Does anyone mind sharing their TSP allocation?  Thanks ladies.Smile

Re: Feds - TSP allocation?

  • Ours is based on our goals and the mix of investments in our IRAs. You need to look at your bigger picture so you are diversified.    This is something that, IMO, is worth talking to an advisor about. 

    Of course, there are the target funds that are at least better than all G fund.

  • Thanks for your suggestion, Julie.  Looking into meeting with a financial planner.  This kind of stuff is over my head, so I think it's probably best to seek some professional guidance.

  • I think about 50% of mine is in the C fund, and the rest is divided among the others in 10-15% increments.  I'd have to look at the paper statement at home to tell you for sure though.  This is how I divided them when I joined the government back in 2002 (based on my father's advice), and I haven't touched them since then; I should probably re-evaluate them at some point.

  • I'm not 100% sure, but I think mine is 50% in the L fund, and the remainder divided up between S fund and C fund.
