TSP Market Summary: Week of March 16, 2015

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • Market showed extreme daily volatility with 4 of 5 days having 100+ point Dow moves
  • Overall market decline was minimal despite the week's dramatic daily swings
  • Current TSP allocation strategy remains unchanged due to net small market impact

Volatility was the hallmark for this past week, which included 4 of the 5 days having over 100 point moves on the Dow. However, all told, the overall market only decreased by a small percentage. While we usually look at reallocations every two weeks, we'll still stay the course and keep the allocation as is.
