Federal employees who have been dutifully contributing to their Thrift Savings Plan for decades but still feel lost when it comes to understanding how the individual funds work now have a new resource at their disposal. Gasima Financial, a Venice, Florida-based firm that coordinates investments, taxes, and retirement planning through a single platform, has officially launched the TSP Market Summary — a free monthly newsletter aimed at current and retired federal workers.

Led by financial advisor and retired federal employee Anthony Patton, the free newsletter analyzes the individual TSP funds and the market trends shaping them.

For millions of federal workers and members of the uniformed services, the Thrift Savings Plan serves as the primary vehicle for retirement savings. The new newsletter is designed to break down where each TSP fund currently stands and what broader market forces are influencing those positions. Importantly, it’s written in straightforward language — no jargon, no sensational headlines — for people who simply want to better understand their own accounts.

VENICE, FL, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The author behind the newsletter is Anthony Patton, a financial advisor at Gasima Financial who brings a rare dual perspective to the role. Before transitioning to financial advice, Patton spent more than 30 years serving in various capacities within the U.S. Intelligence Community, including senior leadership posts around the world. He holds the Series 65 license and has completed Level III of the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program.

“I spent my whole career as a federal employee, so I know the TSP from the inside,” said Patton. “Most of the people I talk to have been contributing for decades and still aren’t sure how the funds fit together, or how the TSP fits with their pension, Social Security, and taxes. The newsletter is meant to give them a clear, regular read on what’s going on.”

For Gasima Financial, this newsletter is a natural extension of the firm’s existing work with federal employees — a group that frequently confronts decisions spanning multiple financial domains. These include figuring out when and how to roll over a TSP account, understanding how a FERS pension and Social Security will be taxed, and determining whether a Roth conversion makes sense during a lower-income year.

“A TSP account is one piece of a much larger picture,” said Tony Pacione, Managing Partner of Gasima Financial. “Our whole firm is built on coordinating your investments, taxes, and retirement income through one customer portal so nothing gets handled in isolation. Anthony brings a federal employee’s perspective to that work, and the newsletter is the easiest way for people to get to know how we think.”

The TSP Market Summary is available at no cost, with new editions published every month. Those interested can sign up and browse past issues at https://gasimafinancial.com/tsp-newsletter/.

The newsletter is provided for educational purposes only and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any fund.
