Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
Board of Trustees Local 805 of New York, New York sponsors Local 805 Pension & Retirement Fund, a defined benefit pension plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Mar 2025 shows 1,923 participants (440 active) and $176M in net assets. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $91,551 per participant, close to the $87,935 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and close to the $94,853 median for defined benefit plans in transportation and warehousing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Employer contributions were $1.8M for the year ($4,194 per active participant) and benefits paid were $11.9M. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 14 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $990K: $515 per participant, well above the same-size median of $325. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $1.1M. 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 $78.9M in 2009 to $176M in 2024 (up 123%), and participants from 2,054 to 1,923 (down 6%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is Local 805 Pension & Retirement Fund?
1,923 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Mar 2025, of whom 440 were active employees, with net assets of $176,052,238. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 1,540 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Board of Trustees Local 805 contribute per participant?
The filing reports $1,845,569 in employer contributions for the year, which is $4,194 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,593 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 $989,838 in compensation to service provider organisations, $515 per participant or 0.56% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $325 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,094,517. 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 Board of Trustees Local 805. Recordkeeping or administration: Savasta and Company, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Insight Investment, Quan-Vest Consultants and Prudential Trust Company. Trustee or custodian: US Bancorp Asset Management. The financial statements were audited by Gould, Kobrick & Schlapp P.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 Apr 2024 to 31 Mar 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 12 Jan 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.
