Trimark Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Trimark Corporation of New Hampton, Iowa. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 435 participants, 360 of them active, and net assets of $25.3M.
Net assets came to $58,195 per participant, above the $48,746 median for defined contribution plans with 250 to 499 participants and below the $62,303 median for defined contribution plans in manufacturing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $87K: $201 per participant, well above the same-size median of $141. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $73K. 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 $6.9M in 2009 to $25.3M in 2024 (up 265%), and participants from 330 to 435 (up 32%).
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 Trimark Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan?
435 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 360 were active employees, with net assets of $25,314,785. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 250 to 499 participants band, which held 17,456 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Trimark Corporation contribute per participant?
This filing has no Schedule H financial statement, so employer contributions are not reported here.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $87,250 in compensation to service provider organisations, $201 per participant or 0.34% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $141 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $73,428. 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 Trimark Corporation. Recordkeeping or administration: Empower Annuity Insurance Co. of Am and Coastal Pension Services. Investment advisory or management: UBS Financial Services Inc. and Empower Advisory Group. The financial statements were audited by RSM US 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 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 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 13 Oct 2025. 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.
