Thread: A Few TSPer Stats Based on the AutoTracker

1071 TSP Talk Participants on the AutoTracker (which includes Fund Accounts - G, C, S, F, I, L Funds):
TSPers have averaged 2.83 IFTs per person to this point in the year.
The average gain to this point in the year is 3.96%.
We are currently invested in TSP as follows: G Fund -35.18%, F-Fund -7.33%, C Fund - 12.04%, S Fund - 29.79%, and I Fund - 10.13%, L Inc - .56%, L2020 - .86%, L2030 - 1.05%, L2040 - 1.18%, L2050 - 1.88% (Totals - 100)

Top 50 TSPers on AutoTracker:
The Top 50 averaged 7.24 IFTs per person to this point in the year.
The average gain to this point in the year is 10.35%.
The Top 50 are currently invested in TSP as follows: G Fund -42.6%, F Fund -3%, C Fund -2.7%, S Fund -20.9%, I Fund 27.8%, L Inc - 1%, L2020-L2040 - 0%, L2050 - 2%. (Totals -100)

Median Group (25 participants above and below the #535 on the AutoTracker):
The Median 50 averaged 2.28 IFTs to this point in the year.
The average gain for the Median 50 is 4.20% (slightly above the mean)
The Median 50 are currently invested in TSP as follows: G Fund - 20.22%, F Fund - 6.76%, C Fund - 21.84%, S Fund - 25.32%, I Fund - 12.66%, L inc - 0%, L2020 - .5%, L2030 - 12.3%, L2040 - 1.7%, L2050 - .7% (Totals - 102)

Just a note: The totals for Median 50 Invested came out to 102, not 100. No idea why. I ran the numbers twice after copying them from the AutoTracker. But I'm pretty certain the error is in my spreadsheet. I'll look for it tomorrow or Wednesday when I do this again out interest. It doesn't make much difference in the averages for the Median 50 but I'll look at it again.

I enjoy getting a sense of the TSP environment and while this is hardly definitive, it is interesting.
