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 May 2025, UA Local 190 Defined Contribution Plan covered 1,960 participants and held $69.1M in net assets. The plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Joint Board of Trustees of the UA Local 190 Defined Contribution Plan of Troy, Michigan. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $35,246 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 $1.7M during the year, or $1,352 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed $3.5M. Benefits paid out totalled $4.3M.
Schedule C lists 8 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $126K: $64.47 per participant, well below the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $137K. 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 $14.8M in 2009 to $69.1M in 2024 (up 368%), and participants from 1,430 to 1,960 (up 37%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is UA Local 190 Defined Contribution Plan?
1,960 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 May 2025, of whom 1,283 were active employees, with net assets of $69,081,569. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 10,207 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Joint Board of Trustees of the UA Local 190 Defined Contribution Plan contribute per participant?
The filing reports $1,734,045 in employer contributions for the year, which is $1,352 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 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 $126,358 in compensation to service provider organisations, $64.47 per participant or 0.18% 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 $137,208. 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 Joint Board of Trustees of the UA Local 190 Defined Contribution Plan. Recordkeeping or administration: Tic Midwest, LLC, Empower Annuity Insurance Co. of Ame and Benesys, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Empower Annuity Insurance Co. of Ame and Segal Advisors, Inc.. Trustee or custodian: Empower Annuity Insurance Co. of Ame. The financial statements were audited by Bennett & Associates CPAS 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 from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. 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 Jun 2024 to 31 May 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 13 Mar 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.
