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.
