Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 05/31/2013 is 17.01%.

This is the highest I've ever seen it, and it's a 9.58 pt increase from last month. It's good to dump May 2012. Tons of credit goes to the good folks here that have taught me so much.

Re: PIP

Yep, I'm still around and last year I really tried to sock some cash into TSP. By the power of DCA and a few decent moves I did well. Now I"m going to use some of that and gains in my personal account to put a nice down payment on my first house! I've learned a lot of things, both good and bad...all have helped me make money in recent years. Thanks!

Woohoo! That's mostly due to dollar cost averaging into a great bull run. May it continue.

Almost 10% in 1 month? Not bad!

Those PIP reports have always seemed high to me. It may behoove us to do our own calculations and compare them. Are they just trying to make us feel better? I've looked at them in previous years after my May losses and they were rosier than expected. I felt like my PIP should have read:

Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 05/31/2012 is: You just lost your shirt!
(Our PIP is posted by the 3rd business day of each month so you better get moving before you loose your shorts.)

I have compared my end of Dec PIP to my TSPTalk annual return and they are really close. I must make up all my losses in the Autumn. :nuts:

 

[jpcavin]

I think it's a combination of me doing well in May and last May dropping off.

 

[Mapper]

I don't know exactly the method they use to calculate but what likely happened for JP and others, including myself, is:

Likely you were in the markets some or part of May 2012 and lost money from market declines. Whereas in May 2013 you made money. It's a moving average. You just dropped the losses from May 2012 and added the gains from May 2013, thus the big one month jump.

Also, if you have been continuously adding money each payday, the last 12 months have been VERY good to you too. Especially this last run since Dec 2012. It all helps your 12 month moving average.
