TSP Market Summary: Week of September 09, 2017

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • US equity markets took a breather with S&P 500 closing at 2461
  • Bond (F) and International (I) funds showed strength, hitting new record highs
  • Recommended strategy shift toward bonds and international due to outperformance

The U.S. equity markets took a little breather this week with the S&P closing at 2461 on Friday. However, we continued to see strength in the Bond and International sectors with both the F and I funds hitting new highs. As such, we are recommending a slight adjustment in the TSP by increasing the allocation of the F fund and I fund by 5%. Lastly, to our TSP TIPS Florida subscribers, we hope that you and your families remain safe during Hurricane Irma.
