Winstead Non-Share Atty 401(k) Savings & Profit Sharing Plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Winstead PC of Dallas, Texas. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 327 participants, 156 of them active, and net assets of $35.2M.
Net assets came to $107,617 per participant, well above the $48,746 median for defined contribution plans with 250 to 499 participants and well above 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.
The employer contributed $632K during the year, or $4,053 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,017; participants contributed $2.6M and $92K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $3.4M.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $143K: $437 per participant, well above the same-size median of $141. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $102K. 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 $14.6M in 2009 to $35.2M in 2024 (up 141%), and participants from 269 to 327 (up 22%).
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 Winstead Non-Share Atty 401(k) Savings & Profit Sharing Plan?
327 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 156 were active employees, with net assets of $35,190,659. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 250 to 499 participants band, which held 17,456 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Winstead PC contribute per participant?
The filing reports $632,202 in employer contributions for the year, which is $4,053 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,017 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 $142,867 in compensation to service provider organisations, $437 per participant or 0.41% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $141 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $101,554. 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 Winstead PC. Recordkeeping or administration: Principal Life Insurance Company. Investment advisory or management: Cook Street Consulting and Morgan Stanley Global Ba. The financial statements were audited by Whitley Penn 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 14 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.
