The G Fund is managed internally by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board. Assets of the F, C, S, and I Funds are managed externally. The Board currently has contracts with BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A., to manage the F, C, S, and I Fund assets. The F, C, S, and I Funds invest in commingled trust funds, in which the assets of tax-deferred employee benefit plans are combined and invested together. The F, C, S, and I Funds and the BlackRock funds are passively managed index funds.

Future performance of the funds will vary and may be significantly different from the returns shown above. See the Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan for detailed information about the funds and their investment risks. The monthly returns of the TSP Funds represent net earnings for the month after deduction of accrued administrative expenses and, except for the G Fund, after deduction of trading costs and accrued investment management fees as well. The returns for the four indexes shown do not include any of these deductions.

* Implemented May 2001.
