L 2035 Fund. The L 2035 Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a moderate to high level of growth with a low emphasis on preservation of assets. The Fund's allocation in the G, F, C, S, and I Funds is adjusted quarterly. The L 2035 Fund will roll into the L Income Fund automatically in July 2035 when its allocation becomes the same as the allocation of the L Income Fund.

TSP says the L 2035 Fund suits participants born between 1970 and 1974 or who will withdraw their money beginning 2033 through 2037. TSP also says you are not required to invest in any specific L Fund.

TSP’s target allocation for the L 2035 Fund for the October 2026 quarter is G 27.89%, F 6.17%, C 34.29%, S 8.57%, I 23.08%. That puts 65.94% in the stock funds (C, S and I) and 34.06% in the G and F Funds. In TSP’s published glide path, each L Fund reaches the L Income mix for July 2028 (G 64.75%, F 5.25%, C 15.60%, S 3.90%, I 10.50%; 30.00% in stock funds) in July of its target year, when it rolls into L Income. TSP says L Income generally keeps the same target allocation after that.

The L 2035 Fund’s stock share already falls at every quarterly adjustment, from 65.94% in the October 2026 quarter to 65.93% in January 2027.

At five-year marks along the glide path, the L 2035 Fund holds 52.50% in October 2031, and 30.00% when it rolls into L Income in July 2035.

Each L Fund is a mix of the five individual funds (G, F, C, S and I). TSP rebalances it at the end of every trading day to keep the target mix and resets target allocations each quarter (January, April, July and October). The L 2035 Fund rolls into the L Income Fund automatically in July 2035, when its allocation becomes the same as the allocation of the L Income Fund; money in it then becomes part of L Income.

TSP rates the L 2035 Fund’s risk (potential for short-term loss) as Medium.

The L 2035 Fund’s total expense ratio was 0.038% as of December 31, 2025: a net administrative expense ratio of 0.033% plus an investment expense ratio of 0.005%. That is $0.38 a year for every $1,000 invested. TSP publishes expense ratios once a year.

Through September 2026, TSP’s published average annual returns for the L 2035 Fund are 12.92% over 1 year, 15.92% over 3 years, 9.14% over 5 years, 11.24% since its July 1, 2020 inception; the year-to-date return is 10.02%. Its best calendar year in TSP’s data is 2023 (16.91%) and its worst is 2022 (-11.65%).

On the average annual return since each fund’s inception, the L 2035 Fund shows 11.24% against the C Fund’s 11.45% (higher) and the G Fund’s 4.64% (lower). The funds started on different dates, so those periods are not the same length. Past returns do not predict future results.
