The nation’s largest retirement program — the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan — will begin offering ESG funds in the summer of 2022 through a new mutual fund “window” similar to a brokerage option.
As reported by Barron’s, the fund program will be run by Alight, a Lincolnshire, Ill.-based administrator, which will work with Accenture Federal Services, the plan’s record-keeper.
The plan currently offers ten target-date funds and five individual funds managed by BlackRock and State Street Global Advisors. The new window will include more than 5,000 funds.
