Neca Local 145 I.B.E.W Annuity and Profi of Moline, Illinois sponsors Neca Local 145 IBEW Annuity and Profit Sharing Pla, a defined contribution plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Mar 2025 shows 1,314 participants (1,161 active) and $162M in net assets. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $123,067 per participant, well above the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above 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 $8.9M during the year, or $7,708 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed —. Benefits paid out totalled $8.2M.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $60K: $45.48 per participant, well below the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $82K. 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 $70.6M in 2013 to $162M in 2024 (up 129%), and participants from 1,060 to 1,314 (up 24%).

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 $59,759 in compensation to service provider organisations, $45.48 per participant or 0.04% 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 $82,122. 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.

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?

How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Apr 2024 to 31 Mar 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 13 Jan 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.
