TSP Market Summary: Week of February 26, 2025

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • U.S. stocks fell consistently with S&P 500 down ~0.5% Monday and Tuesday, brief recovery failed
  • International stocks (I Fund) now outperforming domestic stocks (C Fund) on performance rankings
  • Mid-week reallocation alert expected Wednesday for potential Friday execution before month-end

Last weekend we mentioned that ..theres a lot to digest in the front half of next week. For TSP TIPS we are going into the end of February with one investment mix remaining. As such stand by for a mid-week alert on Wednesday afternoon for a possible reallocation to be executed prior to noon on Friday/end of February. Well, U.S. major market indices continued downward on Monday and Tuesday with the S&P 500 down approximately 0.5% each day. On Wednesday morning it looked like we were going to have a rebound, but those gains were shed around noon time. However, over the last week we have also seen the I fund overtake the C fund on the Performance Ranking leaderboard. As such we recommend the following investment mix as we close out February.
