I am a retiree, drawing down about 4 percent annually from both Federal Thrift Savings and TIAA-CREF 401(k) and 403(b) accounts. Barclays passively manages several of TSP's index funds. The bond funds track Lehman's. These accounts were not huge to start with, but I can't see anything I can do to stop the bleeding as my retirement funds dwindle. These accounts were not listed in the funds having most exposure. Do I assume the Barclays involvement in Fannie/Freddie are my answer?
