Board of Trustees Local 456 Annuity Fund of Elmsford, New York sponsors Teamsters Local 456 Annuity Fund, a profit-sharing plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025 shows 1,870 participants (993 active) and $246M in net assets. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $130,246 per participant in plan year 2024, well above the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above the $32,883 median for defined contribution plans in transportation and warehousing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $13.5M during the year, or $13,555 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed —. Benefits paid out totalled $22.9M.

Questions and answers
How big is Teamsters Local 456 Annuity Fund?
1,870 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 993 were active employees, with net assets of $245,906,142. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 10,207 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Board of Trustees Local 456 Annuity Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $13,460,468 in employer contributions for the year, which is $13,555 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $1,287,855 in compensation to service provider organisations, $689 per participant or 0.52% 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 $1,636,467. 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 Board of Trustees Local 456 Annuity Fund. Investment advisory or management: Merrill Lynch, Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC and Clearbridge Investments, LLC. Trustee or custodian: Global Trust Company and M&T Bank Inst'l Retirement Services. The financial statements were audited by Citrin Cooperman & Company, 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. 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 2025 to 31 Dec 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 29 Jul 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.
