Sponsored by Board of Trustees, Roofers Local No. 74/NO. 203 Pension Fund, West Seneca, NY
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.
In the plan year ending 30 Jun 2025, Roofers Local No. 74/ No. 203 Pension Plan covered 798 participants and held $71.4M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Board of Trustees, Roofers Local No. 74/NO. 203 Pension Fund of West Seneca, New York. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $89,415 per participant, close to the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and below the $100,593 median for defined benefit plans in construction. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Employer contributions were $3.8M for the year ($11,751 per active participant) and benefits paid were $5.9M. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 10 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $389K: $488 per participant, well above the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $634K. 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 $45.9M in 2009 to $71.4M in 2024 (up 55%), and participants from 721 to 798 (up 11%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is Roofers Local No. 74/ No. 203 Pension Plan?
798 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Jun 2025, of whom 322 were active employees, with net assets of $71,352,947. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 873 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Board of Trustees, Roofers Local No. 74/NO. 203 Pension Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $3,783,906 in employer contributions for the year, which is $11,751 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,758 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 $389,023 in compensation to service provider organisations, $488 per participant or 0.55% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $634,124. 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, Roofers Local No. 74/NO. 203 Pension Fund. Investment advisory or management: UBS Financial Services, Inc., Equity Investment Corporation and Sage Advisory Services, Ltd.. The financial statements were audited by Arcara Lenda Eusanio & Stacey CPAS. 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 Jul 2024 to 30 Jun 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 14 Apr 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.
