Transhumance Inc. & Subsidiaries 401(k) Plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Transhumance Holding Company, Inc. of Sacramento, California. For the plan year ending 1 Nov 2025 it reported 442 participants, 407 of them active, and net assets of $12.3M.
Net assets came to $27,813 per participant, well below the $48,719 median for defined contribution plans with 250 to 499 participants and well below the $65,560 median for defined contribution plans in wholesale trade. 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 2 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $53K: $121 per participant, below the same-size median of $141. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $53K. 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 $3.6M in 2009 to $12.3M in 2024 (up 242%), and participants from 487 to 442 (down 9%).
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.

What does Transhumance Holding Company, Inc. 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 $53,336 in compensation to service provider organisations, $121 per participant or 0.43% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $141 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $53,325. 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 Transhumance Holding Company, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Principal Life Insurance Company. Investment advisory or management: Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith. 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 3 Nov 2024 to 1 Nov 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 14 Sep 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.
