I understand the 25% max about investing into the MFW from the standard 5 TSP funds. But is there a limit on how much your MFW can grow as a total of your overall portfolio?
I've tried reading as much as possible but can't find anything stating facts one way or another. I assume the silence means there are no limits on what the MFW can grow to but wondering if anyone has run that down.
Just seems odd that they would limit the amount you can invest but not what it could grow to. Is that just a "protecting you from yourself" rule?

Re: MFW Limit?
Someone probably said "jeeze these fees are a lot higher than the traditional TSP funds. Response from new management... "Ok we will only let them put in 25% of their account". Clueless administration says, "Great Idea" ??? lol
I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

Re: MFW Limit?
No, there is no limit to how much your MFW can grow. It is theoretically possible for you to invest 25% of your account and then grow it so it makes up 99% of your TSP.
If they forced you to take your winnings, then it would be pretty difficult to earn more than the core funds, rendering it useless.
