The TSP has implemented long-awaited new withdrawal options and while the investment choices are still limited compared to an IRA, the program is still very good, and expenses are some of the lowest you can find (over time this adds up in a big way).

This new 6th Edition guide is designed to help you take full advantage of the TSP, understand the program's rules and important dates, and help set yourself up for a secure retirement.

What's inside

You already know the basics of your TSP plan; now it's time to kick things into high gear. We developed the TSP Investors Handbook especially to help you squeeze the most out of your investments and other benefits of the popular TSP program. This brand new “6th Edition” handbook places the TSP among your other assets, explains the real value of its best features.

Take a look at just some of what's new in this All New Sixth Edition of The Thrift Savings Plan Investor's Handbook:

◦New, more flexible withdrawal options.

◦TSP's new policies on investment limits, inter-fund transfers and transfers from other retirement savings programs.

◦Roth investing (tax-free withdraws to benefit more from compound interest).

◦A detailed perspective on what the “new” TSP is all about-and what it means to you.

◦The relationship between the TSP and IRAs-what types of accounts can be involved in transfers and under what circumstances.

◦Special rules for employees who are also Reservists or National Guard members-when they can establish a second, “military” TSP account, how much they can invest in it, how the two accounts work in relation to each other, and considerations for combining accounts.

◦Newly Revised tables on rates of return and an analysis-and how they can guide your TSP investment and withdrawal strategies.

◦Completely updated guide to resources, forms and services available in the TSP program.
