Local One Security Officers Union Money Purchase Pension Plan is a money purchase plan sponsored by New York University of New York, New York. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 218 participants, 131 of them active, and net assets of $8.0M.
Net assets came to $36,639 per participant, well below the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well below the $73,018 median for defined contribution plans in educational 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 $3,011: $13.81 per participant, well below the same-size median of $194. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $3,011. 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 $4.8M in 2009 to $8.0M in 2024 (up 68%), and participants from 370 to 218 (down 41%).
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 New York University 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 $3,011 in compensation to service provider organisations, $13.81 per participant or 0.04% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $194 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $3,011. 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 New York University. Recordkeeping or administration: TIAA. Investment advisory or management: TIAA. The financial statements were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 4 Sep 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.
