Roofers Union Local 33 No. Thrift Fund is a money purchase plan sponsored by Roofers Union Local No. 33 Thrift Fund Thrift FD of Stoughton, Massachusetts. For the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025 it reported 1,258 participants, 1,030 of them active, and net assets of $136M. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $107,886 per participant, well above the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above the $54,962 median for defined contribution plans in construction. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $9.6M during the year, or $9,311 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed $4.4M and $49K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $14.1M.
Schedule C lists 6 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $406K: $322 per participant, well above the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $449K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $25.3M in 2009 to $136M in 2024 (up 437%), and participants from 814 to 1,258 (up 55%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

1,258 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025, of whom 1,030 were active employees, with net assets of $135,720,713. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 10,207 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Roofers Union Local No. 33 Thrift Fund Thrift FD contribute per participant?
The filing reports $9,590,772 in employer contributions for the year, which is $9,311 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $405,670 in compensation to service provider organisations, $322 per participant or 0.30% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $449,310. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Roofers Union Local No. 33 Thrift Fund Thrift FD. Recordkeeping or administration: Roofers Local 33 Admin FD and Empower Annuity Ins. Co. of America. Investment advisory or management: Empower Adivsory Group, LLC. The financial statements were audited by Manzi & Associates L.L.C.. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Oct 2024 to 30 Sep 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 15 Jul 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
