Beginning 2001:Q4, annual market value level is benchmarked to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) I Fund total assets. Quarterly unadjusted transactions are from unpublished TSP I fund net purchases data. Quarterly capital gains are estimated using the change in the Morgan Stanley World ex U.S. Stock Index. Non-benchmark quarterly levels are the previous level, plus the quarterly unadjusted transactions, plus quarterly capital gains. Data for the most recent ten years show no significant seasonality.
