What does Board of Trustees, Tile Industry Retirement Savings contribute per participant?
The filing reports $5,491,618 in employer contributions for the year, which is $2,774 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 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 $473,907 in compensation to service provider organisations, $138 per participant or 0.36% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $537,768. 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 Board of Trustees, Tile Industry Retirement Savings. Recordkeeping or administration: Benesys, Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Wedge Capital Management LLP, Investment Performance Services LLC and U.S. Bank NA. Trustee or custodian: U.S. Bank NA. 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. 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 10 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.
