Vsco 401(k) Plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Visual Supply Company of San Francisco, California. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025 it reported 170 participants, 78 of them active, and net assets of $12.4M.
Net assets came to $57,950 per participant in plan year 2024, close to the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and below the $67,311 median for defined contribution plans in information. 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 2 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $27K: $162 per participant, well below the same-size median of $194. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $27K. 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 $798K in 2015 to $12.4M in 2025 (up 1459%), and participants from 142 to 170 (up 20%).
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 Vsco 401(k) Plan?
170 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 78 were active employees, with net assets of $12,439,366. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 100 to 249 participants band, which held 21,996 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Visual Supply Company 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 $27,487 in compensation to service provider organisations, $162 per participant or 0.22% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $194 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $27,487. 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 Visual Supply Company. Recordkeeping or administration: The Vanguard Group, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: World Investment Advisors. The financial statements were audited by Pension Assurance, 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 2025 to 31 Dec 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 14 Jul 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.
