Protecting Federal Retirement Savings from National Security Risks in TSP Investments.
This law introduces new rules for managing the Thrift Savings Fund (TSP), the retirement plan for federal employees and military personnel. Fund managers must now actively prevent investments in companies that could harm U.S. national security. This means certain investments, especially those linked to entities in designated adversarial countries (like China or Russia), will be restricted to safeguard both retirement savings and national interests.
Key points
TSP fund managers (for federal employees and military) are given a new duty: ensuring investments do not pose a threat to U.S. national security.
The law presumes harm if TSP funds are invested in entities on specific government blacklists, including those linked to the Chinese military or other covered countries (e.g., Russia, Iran).
The goal is to protect retirement savings by excluding investments that might inadvertently support entities detrimental to U.S. interests.
The Department of Labor, in consultation with security agencies, must establish detailed regulations defining which investments are prohibited.
