The monthly returns of the individual TSP funds and the L Funds are the percentage change in their respective share prices from the end of the prior month. The changes in share prices reflect net earnings after accrued administrative expenses have been deducted, and, in the cases of the F, C, S, and I Funds, after trading costs and accrued investment management fees. There are no investment management fees that are specific to the L Funds; however, the performance of the L Funds is affected by administrative expenses, trading costs, and investment management fees charged to the individual TSP Funds that comprise each L Fund.

Future performance of the individual TSP funds and the L Funds will vary and may be significantly different from the returns shown above. See the Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan or the Funds Information Sheets for detailed information about the funds and their investment risks.
