Methodology

The figures use F's price data from January 2021 through 2026-10-16.

The entry price is the December 2020 month-end close and the exit is the latest close, both from IEX Historical Data. Price return: adjusted for stock splits, dividends not included. The market comparison uses the TSP C Fund's monthly returns, published at tsp.gov.

Buying at a month-end close misses the highs and lows inside the month, and the figures ignore taxes and fees. To try another amount, month or monthly contribution, use the F calculator, which also shows the best and worst entry points in your window.
