In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, Nwi Nashville, LLC Pension Plan covered 213 participants and held $24.8M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Nwi Nashville, LLC of Nashville, Tennessee.
Net assets came to $116,658 per participant, well above the $80,635 median for defined benefit plans with 100 to 249 participants and well above the $67,961 median for defined benefit plans in manufacturing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.

Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $196K. 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 $54.1M in 2020 to $24.8M in 2024 (down 54%), and participants from 296 to 213 (down 28%).
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 Nwi Nashville, LLC Pension Plan?
213 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 171 were active employees, with net assets of $24,848,186. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 100 to 249 participants band, which held 1,156 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Nwi Nashville, 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 $155,232 in compensation to service provider organisations, $729 per participant or 0.63% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $451 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $195,582. 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 Nwi Nashville, LLC. Investment advisory or management: The PNC Financial Services Group. The financial statements were audited by Forvis Mazars, 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 15 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.
