Net assets came to $2,135 per participant, well below the $64,499 median for defined contribution plans with 5,000 to 24,999 participants and well below the $54,962 median for defined contribution 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.
The employer contributed $5.0M during the year, or $703 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,424; participants contributed —. Benefits paid out totalled $1.3M.

What does Board of Trustees - Southeast Laborers Supplemental Pension Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $5,018,645 in employer contributions for the year, which is $703 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,424 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 $173,665 in compensation to service provider organisations, $7.61 per participant or 0.36% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $53.38 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $258,418. 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 - Southeast Laborers Supplemental Pension Fund. Recordkeeping or administration: Southern Benefit Administrators. Investment advisory or management: UBS Financial Services and Money Market & Mutual Funds. Trustee or custodian: UBS Financial Services and Money Market & Mutual Funds. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?

How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 May 2024 to 30 Apr 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 16 Feb 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.
