Minnesota Teamsters Construction Division Pension Fund is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Trustees of Minnesota Teamsters Constr Division Pension Fund of Mendota Heights, Minnesota. For the plan year ending 30 Nov 2025 it reported 2,277 participants, 632 of them active, and net assets of $266M. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $116,615 per participant, well above the $87,371 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and above the $100,304 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 $9.8M for the year ($15,435 per active participant) and benefits paid were $16.1M. 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 10 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $965K: $424 per participant, well above the same-size median of $324. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $1.1M. 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 $98.3M in 2009 to $266M in 2024 (up 170%), and participants from 2,155 to 2,277 (up 6%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers

2,277 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Nov 2025, of whom 632 were active employees, with net assets of $265,532,520. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 1,558 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Trustees of Minnesota Teamsters Constr Division Pension Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $9,754,693 in employer contributions for the year, which is $15,435 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,551 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 $965,338 in compensation to service provider organisations, $424 per participant or 0.36% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $324 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,117,348. 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 Minnesota Teamsters Constr Division Pension Fund. Recordkeeping or administration: Zenith American Solutions, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Constitution Capital, Meketa Investment Group and Champlain Investment Partners. Trustee or custodian: Constitution Capital, Union Bank & Trust Company and State Street Global Advisors. 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 Dec 2024 to 30 Nov 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 11 Sep 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.
