The returns of the TSP funds may, from time to time, differ from the index returns. Also, some of the money in the F, C, S, and I Funds is temporarily invested in the G Fund and earns the G Fund return.From https://www.tsp.gov/investmentfunds/...mponents.shtmlThe prices reflect returns on investments, accrued administrative expenses, and trading costs.
C,S,and I Fund Gross Earnings:
Capital gain/loss (net of trading costs)
Dividends
Interest on short-term investments
Securities lending income

Thanks for your responses. It looks like the only explanation that could account for the 2% difference between TSP share price and S&P 500 is dividends that are priced back into the TSP share price. The admin expenses and trading costs would actually make the share price lower than the S&P 500. Still, 2% seems pretty steep for the delta. That's some good dividends!
