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.
Four Winds, Inc. of Katonah, New York sponsors Four Winds 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 1,127 participants (977 active) and $42.1M in net assets.
Net assets came to $37,367 per participant, well below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and above the $30,764 median for defined contribution plans in health care and social assistance. 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 $232K: $206 per participant, well above the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $147K. 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 $23.0M in 2009 to $42.1M in 2024 (up 83%), and participants from 1,081 to 1,127 (up 4%).
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.

What does Four Winds, Inc. contribute per participant?

What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $231,789 in compensation to service provider organisations, $206 per participant or 0.55% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $146,965. 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 Four Winds, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Principal Life Insurance Company and Orenda Retirement, LLC. Investment advisory or management: Wilshire Advisors LLC. Trustee or custodian: Four Winds, Inc.. The financial statements were audited by EisnerAmper 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 3 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.
