Net assets came to $27,246 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 $6.2M during the year, or $3,776 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed —. Benefits paid out totalled $7.3M.

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $382,457. 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.

Investment advisory or management: Union Labor Life Insurance Co., Intercontinental Real Estate Corp. and American Core Realty. Trustee or custodian: PNC Bank NA.
