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.
Swiss Re America Holding Corporation of Armonk, New York sponsors Swiss Re Group U.S. Employees' Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 1,887 participants (290 active) and $395M in net assets.
Net assets came to $209,502 per participant, well above the $87,935 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above the $119,983 median for defined benefit plans in finance and insurance. 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 $934K: $495 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 $346M in 2009 to $395M in 2024 (up 14%), and participants from 2,702 to 1,887 (down 30%).
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 Swiss Re Group U.S. Employees' Pension Plan?
1,887 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 290 were active employees, with net assets of $395,330,871. 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 Swiss Re America Holding 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 $933,780 in compensation to service provider organisations, $495 per participant or 0.24% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $325 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,126,790. 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 Swiss Re America Holding Corporation. Recordkeeping or administration: Aon Consulting, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Aon Investments USA Inc. and State Street Bank & Trust Company. Trustee or custodian: State Street Bank & Trust Company. The financial statements were audited by KPMG 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 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 2 Oct 2025. 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.
