Bonds led and stocks slipped in October. Here's your Monday roundup: the federal headlines that matter, how every TSP fund did last month, and what's coming up this week.
Quick facts: October TSP returns (YTD / 12 months in parentheses): G Fund +0.46% (+3.89% / +4.61%), F Fund +2.47% (-0.35% / +0.03%), C Fund -0.87% (+11.75% / +12.09%), S Fund -0.40% (+11.17% / +10.10%), I Fund -2.89% (+13.09% / +17.02%). The F Fund had its best October on record, the G Fund had its best month of 2026, and the I Fund is still #1 for the year. Headlines: FERS retirees get a 2.6% COLA in January (CSRS and Social Security get 3.6%), the average FEHB premium is up 10.9% for 2027, the proposed 2027 raise is 0% and not final, and current government funding runs out Dec 11.
This week: Election Day is Tuesday (nothing changes for your benefits Wednesday), the IRS 2027 TSP limits could come out any day, and Open Season runs Nov 9 – Dec 14. Returns are through Oct 31, 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
