The Thrift Savings Plan funds do not publish full portfolio holdings, but they track indexes that are shared with other mutual funds. TSP L 2050 is a mix of the TSP C, S, I, F, and G funds. We model the L fund portfolios using the allocation details published by the Thrift Savings Plan, and use matching index funds to represent the constituent TSP funds.
