Another great week for the markets as the major indices again hit historic highs. 1 March marched in with the Dow closing up 303 points and crossing that 21,000 level. Given that, the rate of return is usually how most investors assess individual account performance. Within the TSP, we have the Personal Investment Performance (PIP) on the Account Balance tab. However, it would be nice to see Year to Date (YTD) performance. For that, go to the “Activity Summary” tab which defaults to YTD. It won’t give you a percentage (which they should incorporate), but gives you dollar amounts for customizable date periods. That said, TSP TIPs will now start offering end of month YTD returns when the end of month occurs during that week. Hope this helps as we strive to be receptive to your comments, and thanks for subscribing. YTD % thru 28 Feb 2017: 5.07%
