True the "L" fund carries more risk but the employee still has the option of staying in the "L" fund or moving it to something more comfortable or something riskier. The hardest thing is getting new employees educated on how to handle their TSP.

The hardest thing has been to get them to access their accounts. Many don’t know where their initial password notification and PIN are.

That was one of the first things I drove hard to get when I first got hired. Get my PIM and password and change it to something I could remember and log-in when need-be. I've been working with people who have been in at least 2-3 years and say they've never touched their TSP account and it just sits in the G-fund.

In the beginning when TSP became available my money sat in the G fund for a few years. I didn't know any better. That and it was difficult to make any changes and there weren't many options (G and C). If you wanted to make a change you had snail mail or a phone call (but that took a few days to take effect). Much easier now.

Oh how I remember those days. Had to mail your change by the end of the month to take effect the following month, not the next month.
 
Interesting look at the Tracker. Including the "Premium" folks there are 1334 people on the Tracker the difference between the #1 spot and the last spot is 0.36%. The #1 spot is 0.18% and the #1334 spot is -0.18%. Today will shake everything up.

The raise will never pass. I'm like you, I'll believe it when I see it.
 
Made my move a few days ago and should have given more thought to the I fund, only move left is to the G. bummer.
Good luck, hope the I rallies for you.
