I currently have about $30,000 in the Thrift Savings Plan and have it pretty much spread across the board. I recently retired from the Federal governement in September 2004 and am wondering whether I should take the funds and roll them into another type of account.[color=blue][/color]

I guess it depends on a lot of factors. How old you are? Are you going to begin to draw on the money? Are you going to trade with it or do you want to leave it alone and watch it grow?
For me (keep in mind I'm not even eligible for 7 years), I plan on leaving it in TSP. I'll be using my balance for income. I'll have to use "substantially equal payments via the IRS life expectancy tables" because I'll be less than 55 when I go. But TSP does all that for you and I like the account access that I have now so I'm leaning towards leaving it in.

Can you do better elsewhere with other funds? That is the question to answer to answer your question.

TSP also has the advantage of moving $'s between funds without the charges you may accrue in other plans. TSP will likely cost less in terms of other management fees as well. I know that some funds cannot execute transfers as quickly as TSP does either, even with the lag time. So, there may be benefits that might justify staying with TSP, again, depending on how strong your other options are.

Thanks for sharing such great info, it will help me a lot. I agree that TSP is best for transferring.

The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a Federal Government-sponsored retirement savings and investment plan. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 extended participation in the TSP, which was originally only for Federal civilian employees, to members of the uniformed services, and members began enrolling on October 9, 2001.

The TSP has a selection of individual and lifecycle funds that offer broad market diversification. You can choose to have your retirement dollars invested in everything from a short-term U.S. Treasury security to index funds comprised of domestic and international stocks.
