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.
In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, SPX Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan covered 6,818 participants and held $1.10B in net assets. The plan is an ESOP with a 401(k) feature sponsored by SPX Enterprises, LLC of Charlotte, North Carolina.
Net assets came to $141,908 per participant in plan year 2024, well above the $64,499 median for defined contribution plans with 5,000 to 24,999 participants and well above the $62,303 median for defined contribution 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.
The employer contributed $11.8M during the year, or $3,254 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,424; participants contributed $21.1M and $2.6M arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $104M.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $472K: $69.16 per participant, well above the same-size median of $53.38. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $496K. 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 $687M in 2022 to $1.10B in 2025 (up 61%), and participants from 6,598 to 6,818 (up 3%).

Questions and answers
How big is SPX Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan?
6,818 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 3,638 were active employees, with net assets of $1,103,249,526. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 5,000 to 24,999 participants band, which held 2,605 plans in plan year 2024.
What does SPX Enterprises, LLC contribute per participant?
The filing reports $11,836,837 in employer contributions for the year, which is $3,254 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,424 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 $471,515 in compensation to service provider organisations, $69.16 per participant or 0.04% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $53.38 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $495,933. 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 SPX Enterprises, LLC. Recordkeeping or administration: Fidelity Investments Institutional. Investment advisory or management: Plante & Moran. The financial statements were audited by BDO USA, P.C.. 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. 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 2025 to 31 Dec 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 23 Jul 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.
