The Power of Just 1%
TSP Guru’s backtested strategy beat the market by a wide margin. TSP Guru shares research and tools to help you make calmer TSP decisions. Here’s how a 1% difference can compound over time.
Suppose you're starting from scratch and contributing $10,000 annually ($384.62 each bi-weekly pay period). Here’s how much more your TSP could grow by simply adding an extra 1% per year to your returns:
After 30 Years (example):
C Fund (11%): Approximately $2,356,778
Strategy (12%): Approximately $2,941,364
Difference: +$584,586
A simple, rules-based approach
• Uses historical data + rules-based signals to help you decide risk-on vs risk-off
• Built around TSP constraints (including IFT limits)
• You stay in control — we explain the “why,” not just the “what”
Don’t Forget: TSP doesn’t stop at retirement
You can stay invested and rebalance your allocations long after you stop contributing.
The decisions you make now can compound for decades
