Question
RE: TSP
Will the bail out of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac have an affect on the G Fund
Thanks
Since US Treasuries are backed by the Federal Government, there is virtually zero risk of default. However, the interest rate is not fixed. Anything in our global economy that affects interest rates in the US will affect the interest rate you receive on your money in the G Fund.
