KPMG LLP C/o Total Rewards Dept of Montvale, New Jersey sponsors KPMG Partner Retirement Savings Plan, a profit-sharing plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 30 Apr 2025 shows 2,601 participants (1,544 active) and $524M in net assets.
Net assets came to $201,462 per participant, well above the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above the $73,951 median for defined contribution plans in professional, scientific and technical 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 2 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $127K: $48.68 per participant, well below the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $144K. 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 $207M in 2009 to $524M in 2024 (up 153%), and participants from 2,092 to 2,601 (up 24%).
