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.
Wingate Management Company LLC of Newton, Massachusetts sponsors Wingate Management Company 401(k) Plan, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 938 participants (781 active) and $29.6M in net assets.
Net assets came to $31,562 per participant, well below the $46,267 median for defined contribution plans with 500 to 999 participants and well below the $40,415 median for defined contribution plans in real estate and rental and leasing. 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 $372K during the year, or $477 per active participant against a same-size median of $1,934; participants contributed $2.1M and $1.1M arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $3.5M.
Schedule C lists 6 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $121K: $129 per participant, above the same-size median of $113. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $72K. 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 $15.9M in 2017 to $29.6M in 2024 (up 86%), and participants from 620 to 938 (up 51%).
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.

Questions and answers
How big is Wingate Management Company 401(k) Plan?
938 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 781 were active employees, with net assets of $29,605,249. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 10,588 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Wingate Management Company LLC contribute per participant?
The filing reports $372,299 in employer contributions for the year, which is $477 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $1,934 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 $120,783 in compensation to service provider organisations, $129 per participant or 0.41% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $113 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $72,027. 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 Wingate Management Company LLC. Recordkeeping or administration: CBIZ Benefits & Ins Services Inc. and The Pension Service Inc.. Investment advisory or management: CBIZ Investment Advisory Services L, Empower Advisory Group, LLC and OneDigital Investment Advisors LLC. The financial statements were audited by Gray, Gray & Gray, 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 16 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.
