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.
