How to Make an Interfund Transfer.
There is a monthly limit of 2 interfund transfers (IFTs), but after IFT #2 you can still move money into the G-fund, as long as only the G-fund allocation is the only one increasing.

Interfund transfer requests are applied to the entire balance that is already in your account. It will not affect your future contributions. To change the funds in which your future contributions are invested, you must make a new "contribution allocation."
If you want to make a fund transfer, the deadline each day is 12 noon EST. If you complete the transaction before noon EST your new allocation will begin the next morning. If you miss the 12 noon EST deadline your money will be moved the following day. To have a transaction effective on a Monday, you must meet the deadline on Friday at noon.
When will you see the effect of an interfund transfer on your account? It depends. Back to Top

Participants have asked why, on some days, the change in the I Fund share price reported by the TSP does not match the change reported for the Morgan Stanley EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) index, which the I Fund tracks. This happens when the Board's investment manager, Barclays Global Investors (BGI) reprices its EAFE Equity Index Fund, in which the TSP invests, after the close of the foreign markets. This process, known as "fair valuation," occurs when there are large U.S. market or currency movements between the time the foreign markets close and 4:00 p.m., eastern time, when BGI's share prices are determined. Fair valuation ensures that traders cannot "market time" the I Fund by making investment decisions based on the "stale" prices, thus diluting the returns of other participants who invest in the I Fund. Because the EAFE uses the foreign market closing prices to calculate its values, its price change will differ from the TSP's on those days. Back to Top
