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.
