Net assets came to $4,267 per participant, well below the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well below the $73,951 median for defined contribution plans in professional, scientific and technical services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.

What does V W International, Inc. contribute per participant?

What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $54,209 in compensation to service provider organisations, $507 per participant or 11.9% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $194 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $58,441. 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.

The sponsor is V W International, Inc.. Trustee or custodian: Ti-Trust. The financial statements were audited by Weaver and Tidwell, 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 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 17 Dec 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.
