PMC Consolidated Pension Plan Covering Certain Employee Groups is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by PMC Specialties Group, Inc. of Sun Valley, California. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 547 participants, 1 of them active, and net assets of $16.1M.
Net assets came to $29,489 per participant, well below the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well below 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.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $311K: $569 per participant, well above the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $369K. 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 $4.2M in 2009 to $16.1M in 2024 (up 287%), and participants from 301 to 547 (up 82%).
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 PMC Specialties Group, 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 $311,431 in compensation to service provider organisations, $569 per participant or 1.9% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $368,597. 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 PMC Specialties Group, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. Trustee or custodian: Matrix Trust Company. The financial statements were audited by Miller Kaplan Arase 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 6 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.
