Wellframe 401(k) Plan
Sponsored by Wellframe, Inc., Boston, MA
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 Dec 2021, Wellframe 401(k) Plan covered 186 participants and held $4.7M in net assets. The plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Wellframe, Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts.
Net assets came to $25,525 per participant, well below the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well 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 1 service provider organisation paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $1,905: $10.24 per participant, well below the same-size median of $194. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $1,905. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
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.

What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $194 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,905.

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 2021 to 31 Dec 2021, received by the Department of Labor on 21 Feb 2025.
