    What is the deal with the I Fund?

    Thank you, this is very good, very accurate information. My next question is why does the TSP misrepresent its Fund's performance when it should be posting the MSCI Index? i.e., I don't mind the return being lower as much as I don't like being mislead when the correct information is available.

    'Round and 'round she goes

    imported post Thanks for the input; I don't mean to steal your thunder, because everyone knows (and appreciates) that you report on the EAFE daily. I just got this idea and couldn't wait. btw how many "points" should I put you down for?
