Retirement Plan for Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland Unrepresented Employees
Sponsored by Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland, Oakland, CA
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 30 Jun 2025, Retirement Plan for Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland Unrepresented Employees covered 262 participants and held $133M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland of Oakland, California.
Net assets came to $506,265 per participant, well above the $87,254 median for defined benefit plans with 250 to 499 participants and well above the $62,049 median for defined benefit plans in health care and social assistance. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Employer contributions were $7.1M for the year ($62,281 per active participant) and benefits paid were $4.6M. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 6 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $530K: $2,021 per participant, well above the same-size median of $413. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $556K. 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 $81.4M in 2018 to $133M in 2024 (up 63%), and participants from 330 to 262 (down 21%).
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 Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland contribute per participant?
The filing reports $7,100,000 in employer contributions for the year, which is $62,281 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $11,032 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 $529,619 in compensation to service provider organisations, $2,021 per participant or 0.40% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $413 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $556,182. 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 Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland. Recordkeeping or administration: Transamerica Retirement Solutions. Trustee or custodian: Transamerica Retirement Solutions and State Street Global Advisors. The financial statements were audited by Baker Tilly 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 Jul 2024 to 30 Jun 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 15 Apr 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.
