Ctdu - Pension Fund of Chicago, Illinois sponsors Ctdu - Pension Fund, a defined benefit pension plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Mar 2025 shows 2,305 participants (81 active) and $29.8M in net assets. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $12,933 per participant, well below the $87,935 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well below 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 $698K for the year ($8,613 per active participant) and benefits paid were $9.2M. 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 7 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $350K: $152 per participant, well below the same-size median of $325. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $847K. 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 $110M in 2009 to $29.8M in 2024 (down 73%), and participants from 5,009 to 2,305 (down 54%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is Ctdu - Pension Fund?
2,305 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Mar 2025, of whom 81 were active employees, with net assets of $29,809,449. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 1,540 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Ctdu - Pension Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $697,656 in employer contributions for the year, which is $8,613 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,593 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 $350,072 in compensation to service provider organisations, $152 per participant or 1.2% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $325 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $847,394. 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 Ctdu - Pension Fund. Recordkeeping or administration: Legacy Professionals, LLP. Investment advisory or management: Strategic Capital Investment Advsrs and Northern Trust Company. The financial statements were audited by Legacy Professionals, 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. 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 Apr 2024 to 31 Mar 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 14 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.
