S Fund Tracking DWCPF

Post by seawatcher »

What index and web site do you follow to track the S Fund?

TSP.gov states "The S Fund's investment objective is to match the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total Stock Market Index, a broad market index made up of stocks of U.S. companies not included in the S&P 500 Index." So that would be DWCPF.

MarketWatch.com shows this index reporting 1pm and ending 8pm Eastern Time. And it does not always match S fund performance, sometimes not even close. Today, it shows DWCPF is down 1% but S fund is up a bit. https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/i ... trycode=xx

Other Web Sites show DWCPF reporting 9:30am-4pm and show returns more close to S fund performance. For example - https://www.google.com/search?tbm=fin&q ... xu2dmAE1:0

Thanks in advance if you can clear up this confusion.
Good luck with your TSP and retirement plans!

I use Yahoo Finance to follow the symbol ^DWCPF (Dow Jones U.S. Completion Total) in realtime when the stock market is open. It always matches or is very close (say, within 01%) to the S Fund performance on any given day.

Here is the weblink:
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EDWCPF?p=^DWCPF

Today (01 July 2020), the S Fund returned 0.07% while the ^DWCPF returned 0.08%.

Hope this helps!

The only other fund that tracks this index (that I know of) is Fidelity's FSMAX. VXF tracks a different index, but quite similar. If you want exact, then I would suggest to check out the S-Fund as it will post pretty much the same time as FSMAX. If you want "good enough" then VXF will give you a good idea how that index is doing.

Remember that the S-Fund is mid and small caps. In fact, many times of the year it is more mid cap than small cap.

Best,

Bubba
