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.
Brightway Insurance, LLC of Jacksonville, Florida sponsors Brightway Insurance 401(k) Plan, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 414 participants (360 active) and $9.3M in net assets.
Net assets came to $22,475 per participant, well below the $48,746 median for defined contribution plans with 250 to 499 participants and well below the $92,294 median for defined contribution plans in finance and insurance. 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 $536K during the year, or $1,490 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,017; participants contributed $1.1M and $416K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $1.2M.
Schedule C lists 11 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $35K: $85.55 per participant, well below the same-size median of $141. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $35K. 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 $1.5M in 2013 to $9.3M in 2024 (up 536%), and participants from 136 to 414 (up 204%).
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 Brightway Insurance 401(k) Plan?
414 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 360 were active employees, with net assets of $9,304,555. 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 Brightway Insurance, LLC contribute per participant?
The filing reports $536,484 in employer contributions for the year, which is $1,490 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 $35,416 in compensation to service provider organisations, $85.55 per participant or 0.38% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $141 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $35,416. 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 Brightway Insurance, LLC. Recordkeeping or administration: T. Rowe Price RPS, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: T. Rowe Price RPS, Inc., American Funds and MFS Funds. Trustee or custodian: T. Rowe Price RPS, Inc.. The financial statements were audited by Ellin & Tucker. 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 30 Jul 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.
