    Why? I don't exactly know, but I presume somebody is making a kickback off of it or something.

    It makes no economic sense, but that is the formal policy in place right now for the "G" Fund.

    The 'G Fund' is not the 'F Fund'. It is more like a Money Market Fund with higher returns. And, do you really want to sell long duration bonds in a crashing bond market? To me, it is not a bad move. Most financial advisers are now recommending the purchase of short and mid-range bonds rather than the long term ones.


    Frixxxxx,

    The current interest rate is: 1.625%

    Another .125% increase

    hmmmmmmm.......
    That is not the best thing I have read recently. Two bumps in two months. I reiterate for the reading public:
    That seems to actually be a largish change. Has the Fed lost control of the gubmint Bond market?
    Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!

    Thanks, I always forget to look it up, isn't this less than half of what it was in 2007?

    With big jump in rates relatively speaking this month, I'm thinking we should get a nice pop in G fund rate in June. Can hurt to hope.

    "Pop" is kind of strong. Maybe a nudge.

    Rates are just pushing above the high from earlier this year, but new highs may be a prelude to higher rates later this year.
