The Prudential Employee Savings Plan
Sponsored by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Newark, NJ
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 31 Dec 2024, The Prudential Employee Savings Plan covered 38,003 participants and held $10.7B in net assets. The plan is an ESOP with a 401(k) feature sponsored by The Prudential Insurance Company of America of Newark, New Jersey.
Net assets came to $282,328 per participant, well above the $62,774 median for defined contribution plans with 25,000 or more participants and well above the $92,294 median for defined contribution plans in finance and insurance. 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 $85.2M during the year, or $5,241 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,417; participants contributed $299M. Benefits paid out totalled $1.26B.
The filing reports no service provider compensation on Schedule C. That is common where fees are paid by the employer or taken from investment returns, neither of which appears there. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $0.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $5.29B in 2009 to $10.7B in 2024 (up 103%), and participants from 44,985 to 38,003 (down 16%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is The Prudential Employee Savings Plan?
38,003 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 16,248 were active employees, with net assets of $10,729,306,593. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 25,000 or more participants band, which held 608 plans in plan year 2024.
What does The Prudential Insurance Company of America contribute per participant?
The filing reports $85,158,725 in employer contributions for the year, which is $5,241 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,417 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 no provider compensation for the year. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $0. 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 The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The financial statements were audited by Mitchell & Titus. 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 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 24 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.
