Learning Objective

  • Discuss why participation in the TSP is critical.
  • Review strategies around investing, asset allocation, and diversification.
  • Analyze retirement accumulation forecasts.
  • Explain how to continue building your FERS puzzle.

Course Overview

Although three separate components comprise the FERS retirement package, only one, the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), allows federal employees to build true wealth. As the only one of the three components that rely on the individual to manage their retirement money, understanding the power of the TSP is the key. 

Let's begin by discussing critical elements such as the Minimum Retirement Age and the Age and Service Requirements for a Full Annuity. Understanding these milestones is fundamental to crafting a strategic Retirement Plan tailored to your needs and circumstances.

This CPE course will cover the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), often hailed as your secret weapon in retirement. From examining the TSP's structure to uncovering its investment options, we'll equip you with the knowledge to leverage this powerful resource effectively. We'll also address risk from both short-term and long-term perspectives, providing insights into managing volatility while aiming for sustainable growth within your retirement portfolio.

In this webinar, we'll focus on practical strategies for asset allocation, continue to build your FERS puzzle and utilize the Rule of 72 to forecast investment growth. Additionally, we'll explore seven key questions designed to contextualize your choices, empowering you to make informed decisions that align with your retirement goals. 

This course covers the following Major Topics: 

  • Minimum Retirement Age
  • Age and service Requirements for Full Annuity
  • The TSP: Your Secret Weapon in Retirement
  • Thrift Savings Plan 
  • Asset Allocation Strategies

Join us on this journey as we unravel the complexities of FERS retirement planning and pave the way toward a financially secure future.
