Questions and answers
How big is Adams Keegan Retirement Savings Plan?
30,254 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 25,713 were active employees, with net assets of $550,446,953. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 25,000 or more participants band, which held 608 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Adams Keegan Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $18,190,533 in employer contributions for the year, which is $707 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,417 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $924,074 in compensation to service provider organisations, $30.54 per participant or 0.17% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $36.41 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were −$140,672. 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 Adams Keegan Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: John Hancock Life Insurance Company. Investment advisory or management: Duncan Williams Asset Management and John Hancock Life Insurance Company. The financial statements were audited by Watkins Uiberall, PLLC. 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 15 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.
