What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $141 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $14,020. 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.

The sponsor is BMW Management, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: John Hancock Life Insurance Co. USA. Investment advisory or management: John Hancock Life Insurance Co. USA. The financial statements were audited by Pension Assurance LLP. 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 from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. 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 Jan 2025 to 31 Dec 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 27 May 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.
