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 Coteau Properties Company Pension Plan covered 370 participants and held $94.8M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by The Coteau Properties Company of Plano, Texas.
Net assets came to $256,114 per participant, well above the $87,254 median for defined benefit plans with 250 to 499 participants and well above the $88,081 median for defined benefit plans in mining. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $172K: $464 per participant, above the same-size median of $413. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $214K. 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 $78.3M in 2015 to $94.8M in 2024 (up 21%), and participants from 401 to 370 (down 8%).
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 The Coteau Properties Company Pension Plan?
370 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 29 were active employees, with net assets of $94,762,016. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 250 to 499 participants band, which held 873 plans in plan year 2024.
What does The Coteau Properties Company contribute per participant?
This filing has no Schedule H financial statement, so employer contributions are not reported here.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $171,505 in compensation to service provider organisations, $464 per participant or 0.18% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $413 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $213,576. 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 Coteau Properties Company. Recordkeeping or administration: Vanguard Group, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Vanguard Group, Inc.. Trustee or custodian: Vanguard Group, Inc.. The financial statements were audited by Crowe 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 5 Nov 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.
