Shares

My question is this. When I change my Allocations on the tsp web site, are my share balances supposed to change or not?

[tsptalk]

Number of shares? Yes they would change as long as the funds have different share prices.

For example, I have lets say 123 shares of the C fund, if I move shares (Allocation %) from one Fund to the C Fund shouldn't that 123 shares increase?

[tsptalk]

Yes. If you went from 20% C to 30% C, you should see the # of shares increase in your C fund.

balance = share-price * shares

shares = balance / share-price

share price = whatever the market says it is :D
