Trustees of I.B. of T. Union Local 710 Pension Fund of Mokena, Illinois sponsors International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union Local 710 Pension Fund, a defined benefit pension plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025 shows 21,316 participants (7,390 active) and $4.77B in net assets. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $203,653 per participant in plan year 2024, well above the $87,623 median for defined benefit plans with 5,000 to 24,999 participants and well above the $94,853 median for defined benefit plans in transportation and warehousing. 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 $202M for the year ($27,300 per active participant) and benefits paid were $238M. 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 15 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $14.0M: $656 per participant, well above the same-size median of $232. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $19.0M. 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 $1.64B in 2009 to $4.77B in 2025 (up 191%), and participants from 20,634 to 21,316 (up 3%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union Local 710 Pension Fund?
21,316 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 7,390 were active employees, with net assets of $4,774,864,932. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 5,000 to 24,999 participants band, which held 651 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Trustees of I.B. of T. Union Local 710 Pension Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $201,750,096 in employer contributions for the year, which is $27,300 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $9,468 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 $13,975,632 in compensation to service provider organisations, $656 per participant or 0.29% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $232 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $19,006,259. 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 Trustees of I.B. of T. Union Local 710 Pension Fund. Investment advisory or management: Mesirow Financial, Harding Loevner LP and LSV Asset Management. The financial statements were audited by Calibre CPA Group, PLLC. 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 Feb 2025 to 31 Dec 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 23 Jul 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.
