Ledvance LLC Pension Plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Ledvance LLC of Wilmington, Massachusetts. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2022 it reported 1,200 participants, 139 of them active, and net assets of $146M.
Net assets came to $116,196 per participant in plan year 2024, well above the $87,935 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and above the $94,230 median for defined benefit plans in management of companies (holding companies). 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 5 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $322K: $268 per participant, well above the same-size median of $325. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $1.4M. 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 $202M in 2017 to $146M in 2025 (down 28%), and participants from 1,217 to 1,200 (down 1%).
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 Ledvance LLC Pension Plan?
1,200 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2022, of whom 139 were active employees, with net assets of $145,695,492. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 1,540 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Ledvance LLC 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 $321,619 in compensation to service provider organisations, $268 per participant or 0.22% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $325 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,430,122. 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 Ledvance LLC. Investment advisory or management: Aon Hewitt Investment Consultants. Trustee or custodian: The Bank of New York Mellon and State Street Global Advisors. The financial statements were audited by RSM US 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 2022 to 31 Dec 2022, received by the Department of Labor on 13 Jan 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.
