Sharp Electronics Corporation Pension Plan
Sponsored by Sharp Electronics Corporation, Montvale, NJ
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.
In the plan year ending 31 Mar 2025, Sharp Electronics Corporation Pension Plan covered 568 participants and held $49.8M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Sharp Electronics Corporation of Montvale, New Jersey.
Net assets came to $87,600 per participant, close to the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well above the $61,809 median for defined benefit plans in wholesale trade. 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 5 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $261K: $460 per participant, above the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $703K. 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 $109M in 2010 to $49.8M in 2024 (down 54%), and participants from 1,535 to 568 (down 63%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is Sharp Electronics Corporation Pension Plan?
568 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Mar 2025, of whom 110 were active employees, with net assets of $49,756,558. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 873 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Sharp Electronics Corporation contribute per participant?
This filing has no Schedule H financial statement, so employer contributions are not reported here.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $261,404 in compensation to service provider organisations, $460 per participant or 0.53% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $702,681. 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 Sharp Electronics Corporation. Recordkeeping or administration: Schwab Retirement Plan Services Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Sun Life Capital MGMT US LLC and CAPTRUST Advisors LLC. The financial statements were audited by PKF O'Connor Davies, 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 Apr 2024 to 31 Mar 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 15 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.
