Remained in risk-on. Equity momentum continues above threshold.

The C Fund Has Averaged Nearly 11% Per Year Since 2003. So Why Do Most TSP Holders Earn Far Less?

The C Fund's long-term returns are excellent. The problem isn't the returns — it's surviving the path to get them.

In 2008, the C Fund lost over 50% of its value from peak to trough. Most people who watched this happen didn't hold steady — they moved to the G Fund near the bottom, then stayed there for years, missing most of the recovery.

This is called the behavior gap — the difference between what the market returns and what investors actually earn. It's the #1 destroyer of retirement wealth, and it affects TSP holders just as much as anyone else.

You don't need better funds. You need a system that keeps you invested when it's safe and moves you to protection when it's not.

21 Years of Data. Every Market Crash Included.

Backtested from 2004-07 through 2026-02 (260 months) using actual TSP fund prices.

Growth of $100,000

Both strategies grew $100,000 to roughly the same place. The difference is what happened along the way.

The model grew $100K to $948,720 — while cutting the worst decline by 75%.

A 50% loss requires a 100% gain just to get back to even. A 13% loss requires only a 15% gain. That's the difference between a temporary setback and a retirement-altering event.

Drawdown Comparison

Maximum decline from prior peak. The C Fund required surviving a 50% loss. The model's worst was 12.6%.

How the Model Makes Decisions

1

Measure Momentum

Track 12-month trailing returns for the C, S, and I Funds. Rank them by performance to find the strongest equity fund.

2

Safety Check

Compare the top equity fund’s 3-month return against the G Fund. If equities aren’t outperforming the safest option, it’s a warning sign.

3

Allocate or Protect

If equities pass the safety check, allocate proportionally to the strongest funds. If not, move everything to the G or F Fund — whichever has better recent performance.

4
