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.
Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. of New York, New York sponsors Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. Frozen Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 425 participants (141 active) and $41.8M in net assets.
Net assets came to $98,407 per participant, above the $87,254 median for defined benefit plans with 250 to 499 participants and below the $119,983 median for defined benefit 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.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $139K: $326 per participant, well below the same-size median of $413. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $139K. 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 $44.0M in 2011 to $41.8M in 2024 (down 5%), and participants from 470 to 425 (down 10%).
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.

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $413 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $138,674.

Was the audit opinion unqualified?
