Thanks everyone for the welcome messages.

A little bit more about myself
I just started investing into the TSP about 5 months ago with 100% in the G fund. I just started my job here with the government. I'm 24 years old, just graduated with a B.S. in EE.

My mind is trying to comprehend all the terms and trying to find what funds relate to what index.

S&P 500 index is the C fund.
Dow is the S Fund
EFA is the I Fund

Are these the index names I would search for in the market to find the information?

Welcome aboard.

“S” Fund matches the performance of the Dow Jones Wilshire 4500 Completion (DJW 4500) Index.
