Why TSP Guru Stands Out

Traditional TSP approach
• Great for long-term investors who prefer a hands-off plan
• Typically stays fully invested through all market conditions
• Can feel uncertain during volatility

TSP Guru approach
• Uses a simple, rules-based framework tested on historical data
• Designed around TSP constraints (including IFT limits)
• Helps you decide when to be more aggressive vs more defensive

The goal isn’t prediction. It’s having a repeatable process for risk awareness.
