Net assets came to $532,639 per participant, well above the $48,746 median for defined contribution plans with 250 to 499 participants and well above the $73,951 median for defined contribution plans in professional, scientific and technical services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 1 service provider organisation paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $64K: $135 per participant, close to the same-size median of $141. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $64K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
