The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.

Questions and answers
How big is Central National Gottesman Inc. Profit Sharing Plan?
367 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 295 were active employees, with net assets of $130,522,968. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 250 to 499 participants band, which held 17,456 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Central National Gottesman Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $2,739,164 in employer contributions for the year, which is $9,285 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,017 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 $1,272,524 in compensation to service provider organisations, $3,467 per participant or 0.97% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $141 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,333,949. 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 Central National Gottesman Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Greenhaven Associates and Brave Warrior Advisors, LLC. Trustee or custodian: JPMorgan Chase. The financial statements were audited by Crowe 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. 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 30 Apr 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.
