TSP Updates - New Thrift Savings Plan Mutual Fund Window

In June of 2022 The Thrift Savings Plan, which is the retirement plan available for all military and federal workers, is being updated with many big changes. There will be a lot of cosmetic changes, a new website design, a new mobile app, and improved online process for completing paperwork for rollovers and withdrawals. But perhaps the change with the biggest impact on your retirement is the addition to what they are calling the mutual fund window. This adds thousands of more investment options onto the TSP platform. Now you will have many more options than just the G, F, C, S, and I funds you have been used to in the past. And while it may seem that adding more investment options would be a good thing, there are a few things you’ll want to understand before making the change. First, there’s added fees if you elect to use these new investments. In addition to a $150 per year administrative fee, there is a $28 fee for each trade in the mutual fund window, and the potential for much higher fees by way of the expense ratios on each of the new investment options. Depending on your account balance and the new funds you choose, this may result in thousands of dollars in extra fees per year. So, before you jump into any new investments outside of the traditional TSP funds, make sure that any perceived benefits are worth the added price. For most, they won’t be. Because ultimately, what made the TSP such a great plan is that it offered very low cost investment options really some of the lowest fees anywhere in the industry, and made it simple to create a diversified portfolio. While the options may have seemed limited, it also kept a lot of investors out of trouble by avoiding higher risk, and higher fee options that exist for others using IRAs or other 401(k) plans. Now, TSP users will need to be extra careful that the investments they choose are truly the best option for them and they aren’t being taken advantage of....(read more)
