What We Offer
We aim to specialize in providing monthly visualizations of TSP fund performance. Our insights focus on:
- Comparing expected performance for each pair of TSP funds.
- Evaluating data covariance, a measure of variability or risk, to highlight potential trade-offs.
- Looking back a historical window of approximately three years, ensuring depth and reliability in our analyses.
Our goal is to provide a clear picture of how TSP funds interact, helping you find the balance between risk and return.
How It Works
Our visualizations are built on a robust and transparent methodology:
- Data Collection:
We gather historical data for all major TSP funds, including G, F, C, S, and I funds. - Statistical Analysis:
Each month, we calculate the expected performance (average return) and covariance (variability) for fund pairs to help you understand the risk versus reward. - Visualization Creation:
We produce intuitive, easy-to-read charts that compare fund pairs, delivering actionable insights at a glance. - Monthly Updates:
The charts are refreshed monthly to reflect the latest data, ensuring you have access to the most relevant information.
By focusing on fund pairs, we aim to highlight complementary investment strategies within TSP to help you optimize your portfolio.
