Uma Supplemental 403(b) Plan is a 403(b) plan sponsored by University Medical Associates of the Medical Univ. of South Carolina of Charleston, South Carolina. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 3,302 participants, 3,064 of them active, and net assets of $158M.
Net assets came to $47,733 per participant, below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above the $30,764 median for defined contribution plans in health care and social assistance. 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 6 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $124K: $37.69 per participant, well below the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $128K. 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 $61.3M in 2017 to $158M in 2024 (up 157%), and participants from 2,068 to 3,302 (up 60%).
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 does University Medical Associates of the Medical Univ. of South Carolina 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 $124,466 in compensation to service provider organisations, $37.69 per participant or 0.08% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $128,319. 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.

Investment advisory or management: Cap Financial Partners, LLC and Cambridge Investment Research. Trustee or custodian: Charles Schwab Trust Bank and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.. The financial statements were audited by Forvis Mazars, 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 15 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.
