TSP Market Summary: Week of September 12, 2015

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • Tuesday's strong performance drove most of the week's market gains across equity funds
  • Current TSP allocations unchanged as markets await Fed interest rate decision Thursday
  • Federal Reserve announcement could create significant volatility for all TSP fund categories

In this holiday shortened week, Tuesday ruled supreme. The majority of the week’s gains were made on that day, which would have coincided with last week’s equity sell recommendation. This week the market will anxiously be on Fed watch awaiting their interest rate announcement on Thursday afternoon. As such, allocations remain the same.
