Hawaii Laborers' Pension Trust Fund
Sponsored by Hawaii Laborers' Pension Trust Fund, Honolulu, HI
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 28 Feb 2025, Hawaii Laborers' Pension Trust Fund covered 6,020 participants and held $426M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Hawaii Laborers' Pension Trust Fund of Honolulu, Hawaii. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $70,803 per participant, below the $87,623 median for defined benefit plans with 5,000 to 24,999 participants and well below the $119,983 median for defined benefit plans in finance and insurance. 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 $19.3M for the year ($7,862 per active participant) and benefits paid were $24.4M. 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 10 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $2.2M: $372 per participant, well above the same-size median of $232. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $2.6M. 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 $243M in 2009 to $426M in 2024 (up 75%), and participants from 5,582 to 6,020 (up 8%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is Hawaii Laborers' Pension Trust Fund?
6,020 participants at the end of the plan year ending 28 Feb 2025, of whom 2,457 were active employees, with net assets of $426,235,054. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 5,000 to 24,999 participants band, which held 651 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Hawaii Laborers' Pension Trust Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $19,316,161 in employer contributions for the year, which is $7,862 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $9,468 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 $2,241,359 in compensation to service provider organisations, $372 per participant or 0.53% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $232 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $2,647,174. 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 Hawaii Laborers' Pension Trust Fund. Recordkeeping or administration: Pacific Adminstrators Inc.. Investment advisory or management: Raymond James, Victory Capital Management and Focus Investment Advisors. Trustee or custodian: Central Pacific Bank. The financial statements were audited by Eide Bailly 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 Mar 2024 to 28 Feb 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 15 Dec 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.
