Does anyone have more than a 30% allocation in the I fund? Seems this is the most underutilized of all the TSP funds.

I usually keep 32-40% in the I fund and 25% in G fund. The remainingbalance I put into C & S.

Hi Valeri -
Many of us here use the I fund. Right now I actually have 0% in the I fund. But I am not adverse to going 100% I fund it the situation presents itself.

A lot has been written on it... http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forum14/
Not to overpromote the I fund, as you say Tom, there's a time and a place for it, but didn't you say recently that something like 1% of all of the TSP is invested in the I fund and it made 50% in the last 18 months?

I was 50% these past couple days. I'm now @ 10%.

Welcome & God Bless:^

I fund is a scary place to be right now, too many uncertainties

I did say that. That doesn't mean it will outperform the S and C fund over the next week or so. I'm guessing it won't in the short term. I could be wrong.

EAFE is up pretty strongly thus far, mostly on the strength of the euro, I'd imagine (europe is relatively flat, the far east was up modestly).

If it holds, a 10-cent gain would be about right. Maybe more than that (hey I was pretty darn close on the nickel prediction yesterday :^).

I have a 24% committment to the I fund but was a little concerned when so few others seem to be using it. I think it adds a super level of diversification for me.

I'm new to this forum. Just made a post reply which didn't seem to take. Seems very slow. Anyway, I was just concerned that so few seem to carry an I fund allocation. For me it adds a necessary level of diversification.

I generally have 30% of my portfolio international; it is an important part of a healthy breakfast. Since I thinkthe US markets will be strong over the next four weeks and the dollar may temporarily reverse, I just sold my 30% I fund in favour of 20% C and 10% more S (80S/20C). My portfoliooverall contains 15% international atm.

Valeri,

Since foreign equities areapproximately 50% of the global equity capitalization available to investors, a 24% allocation to the I Fund is more than reasonable. In addition,the I Funddoes provide diversification and, this year, a high rate of return. Finally, if you believe in reversion to the mean, the I Fund's strong returns in the 80's and poorreturns in the 90's should be followed by astrong returns in this decade.
