Fair Value Explained by MSCI

[userque]

After doing a little research not long ago, I believe the TSP uses a fair valuation for the I fund that is based upon the (projected?) current trading price of the EAFE at (or near?) the time the TSP posts its daily prices.

The EAFE begins trading at or after our markets close. So today, it seems that there was a pull-back of sorts. I don't believe that they ever 'owe' us anything with regard to fair valuation.

Best paper so far I've read regarding fair valuation and our funds:

Good info! That's a keeper. I copied the above post from another thread so it's easier to find.

Just in case that link ever breaks, I made a copy here...

There's about half a percent of fair value on the S&P, Dow, and NASDAQ right now. Most I've seen in awhile.
