You have a number of choices when choosing a TSP allocation plan. There are plans that change allocations many times in a month, there are plans that change their allocations twice a month and then there are plans that change just once a month. TSP Coach changes allocations just once a month while returning outstanding returns.

TSP Coach Keeps It Simple

Since I have never found a decent website exploring the different TSP programs being offered, I am providing comparisons of the different TSP allocation plans below with the actual names of the companies replaced by a letter of the alphabet. They all start out with either $10,000 initial investment in 2005, which is the first full year of my program, or if they began after my program, they started with values equal to my program and then went from there in the following years. Some companies do not give a detailed history of their returns, and so therefore, I have omitted them.

HOW IT WORKS

We have developed a simple, yet effective, investment program that reallocates our TSP Funds at the end of each month, when necessary.

TSP COACH PROGRAM

Start managing your TSP account the way the experts do. We have adapted our program for the true purpose of the TSP Program, a vehicle for long term investment.

The returns with our program are significantly higher than the fixed allocation buy and hold strategies employed by the Lifestyle Funds available through TSP, and our performance outperforms many other TSP subscription services with much lower subscription fees, no emergency, mid-month or large numbers of TSP allocation changes, just proven returns with end of month TSP Fund allocation and account rebalancing.
We have maximized our returns while minimizing our risk in a repeatable, consistent manner. Don't delay, subscribe today!

WHY ARE WE BETTER?

1. Annualized return of 13.48% since its inception in 2004.

2. Simple TSP allocation strategy changes allocations and monthly fund percentages once a month-perfect for all investors. One allocation change, once a month, at the end of the month, is all I do.

3. Strategy has not changed in over 19 years.

4. Methodology is rooted in investment research spanning over five decades. I utilize the Sharpe Ratio with my own proprietary formula to arrive at my allocation percentages.

5. Most affordable TSP newsletter around!

ALLOCATION HISTORY

TSP Coach uses the Sharpe Ratio, Modern Portfolio Theory, and a proprietary formula to calculate our allocation percentages. Since the Thrift Savings Plan limits investors to just five funds and only two inter-fund transfers a month, it really is not appropriate, at least in our minds, to make allocation decisions based on market timing or overly complex analysis of daily market swings. With these factors in mind, we decided to implement a simple allocation strategy which calculates TSP Fund allocation percentages once a month.
With our simple allocation strategy, We Outperform Everyone.
