aka "a loss"?

If you have your money in a target date fund or other fund that is largely bonds, you probably lost money. The bonds sector has been terrible.

I think from looking at the TSP website that is the monthly return, not the last 12 month return as of Oct.

S&P is up 5.28% from Oct 31 2017 (2575) to Oct 31 2018 (2711). So yeah you severely underperformed — I’m guessing you have a lot in a target fund which are heavy on bonds or you separately hold a lot of G, F, or I.

What is your allocation to the different funds?

The F fund and the I fund are the only funds to be negative over the last 12 months. Do you have a lot of int'l?

I still have a positive gain for the past 12 months but I've lost some money in the last month. Looks like October was a negative hit for a lot of the funds.

That’s amazing. I assume C/S funds? Are you a relatively new?

What fund(s) are you in? None of them show anything like 10% for the year. Are you sure you aren't counting contributions too?
