Prohibition of ESG Investments in Federal Employee Savings Plan
This new law aims to prohibit investment funds within the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for federal employees from making investment decisions primarily based on environmental, social, or governance (ESG) criteria. This means your retirement savings in TSP will not be able to be invested in funds promoting these criteria, unless they also maximize monetary returns. If you currently have such investments, they will be automatically re-invested into other funds unless you choose otherwise.
