IBEW Local Union 64 Pension Plan

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, IBEW Local Union 64 Pension Plan covered 624 participants and held $43.1M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by IBEW Local Union 64 Pension Plan Joint Board of Trades of Canfield, Ohio. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $69,100 per participant, well below the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well below the $100,593 median for defined benefit 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.
Employer contributions were $3.3M for the year ($10,467 per active participant) and benefits paid were $2.9M. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 8 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $209K: $335 per participant, below the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $243K. 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 $17.7M in 2009 to $43.1M in 2024 (up 144%), and participants from 496 to 624 (up 26%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

What does IBEW Local Union 64 Pension Plan Joint Board of Trades contribute per participant?
The filing reports $3,276,309 in employer contributions for the year, which is $10,467 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,758 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 $208,895 in compensation to service provider organisations, $335 per participant or 0.48% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $243,090. 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 IBEW Local Union 64 Pension Plan Joint Board of Trades. Recordkeeping or administration: Benesys, Inc. and PNC Bank, National Association. Investment advisory or management: American Realty Advisors, National Real Estate Advisors and PNC Bank, National Association. Trustee or custodian: PNC Bank, National Association. The financial statements were audited by Yurchyk & Davis Cpa's, Inc.. 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 9 Oct 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.
