In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, Sheet Metal Workers Local No. 2 401(k) Plan covered 3,386 participants and held $108M in net assets. The plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Board of Trustees Sheet Metal Workers Local 2 of Kansas City, Missouri. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $31,932 per participant, well below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 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 $1.5M during the year, or $512 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed $4.2M and $5,686 arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $7.0M.
Schedule C lists 9 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $298K: $87.94 per participant, above the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $300K. 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 $37.8M in 2009 to $108M in 2024 (up 186%), and participants from 2,264 to 3,386 (up 50%).
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 Sheet Metal Workers Local No. 2 401(k) Plan?
3,386 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 3,023 were active employees, with net assets of $108,122,272. 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 Sheet Metal Workers Local 2 contribute per participant?
The filing reports $1,546,537 in employer contributions for the year, which is $512 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 $297,764 in compensation to service provider organisations, $87.94 per participant or 0.28% 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 $300,296. 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 Sheet Metal Workers Local 2. Recordkeeping or administration: Tic International Corporation and Empower Annuity Ins Co. of America. Investment advisory or management: SageView Advisory Group, LLC. The financial statements were audited by Novak Birks, P.C.. 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 19 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.
