Post Your "12-Month Personal Rate of Return"

[KevinD]

I just checked my account and they've gone back to calling it personal investment performance or PIP.

Personal Investment Performance (PIP)

The rate of return earned by your entire account during the 12-month period ending on the date indicated on your annual statement or on your Account Balance page of the TSP website. The PIP is a time-weighted return that has been calculated using a modified-Deitz method (a method used by many financial institutions and an industry standard). The PIP adjusts for the distorting effects of cash flows into or out of your account. It is an estimate; therefore, your PIP may not be the same as the 12-month performance of the TSP funds, which are time-weighted returns.

I don't know if it is beacause they changed to PIP, but I went from 54% last month to 38.6% this month. Anyway, WTF is up with the market this week and last week. I'm pissed!

 

[Frixxxx]

Big change......22.75% this month!

 

[nasa1974]

According to TSP 17.63%. It would have been higher but I lost 4.97% in the last 5 days of trading.

 

[RealMoneyIssues]

12.56% for me. My TSP was safe, but my SDIRA was demolished this last week; down 18.65% so far...

 

[jpcavin]

14.29%

 

[Elgallo]

20.51%

 

[MacDaddy]

45.73%.

 

[Aviator_Guy]

23.87%


I tried getting into TSPTALK this morning using my smart phone and iTouch, but I kept getting a pop up saying “Mobile Site Coming Soon”... I don’t recall ever seeing that before, they must be working on a mobile version which is cool, but the old site worked fine on my portable devices just fine in the past.

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 07/31/2011 is 21.9%.
(Your PIP is posted by the 3rd business day of each month.)

Am thinking it's downhill from here for a while...

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 07/31/2011 is 18.49%.
Yeah....that # is going to get worse before it gets better.

I've decided to post my most recent IRR:

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 07/31/2011 is 17.11%.

I wanted to make certain that I got it in before it was, ahem, updated to reality.

 

[KevinD]

10.49

 

[rikarus]

Well I'm new here, and WAS a buy and holder, and it looks like I am about -3.4% for the year to date from 1/1/11. BUT I will now be learning to recover that and not get shafted any further. :nuts:

 

[dpmp]

10 Aug 2010 to 10 Aug 2011 = 22.12%.

Formula: (new balance) minus (old balance) then divide by (old balance) and mult by 100. Let me know if I need to fix the formula

I went in stock funds 100% in mid Nov but I have sidelined since May 19th. All contributions going to G fund for now. Coulda use F for more money but I am not greedy.

Welcome!

Enjoy the ride!

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 07/31/2011 is 23.12%.

Now I have a question, how do contributions affect this number? Do they only count increase in funds deposited, or are contributions considered an increase since the beginning of the year?

 

[malyla]

"are contributions considered an increase since the beginning of the year?"

Your entire balance (contributions over the month and earnings/loses) is used for the 12-month PPR.
