The thing about the TRP 2040 is that it will be too conservative for you at your age (24), unless you are aiming to retire before that date, making you 56-ish.

? I don't know the holdings or strategy of the 2040 fund offhand, but the whole point is if it's a retirement fund that far out, it would NOT be conservative, instead growing moreso as that date approaches.
