What W. R. Berkley puts in, and what the plan costs
What W. R. Berkley put into the plan, per active participant
$10,876
W. R. Berkley Corporation put $10,876 into this plan for each of its 6,382 active participants in plan year 2024. This is the whole employer side of the plan: matching money, profit sharing, non-elective and safe-harbor contributions, and reallocated forfeitures. The Form 5500 does not separate them, so this is what the employer put in and not the match.
W. R. Berkley put in more per active participant than 95% of plans with 5,000+ participants at holding companies. The middle plan in that group of 62 reported $4,209. Holding companies comes from business code 551112, which W. R. Berkley entered on its own Form 5500. Sponsors pick that code themselves, so a code that does not describe what the employer does ranks the plan against the wrong companies.

What this figure cannot separate: how much W. R. Berkley pays, and how much it puts in
This is dollars, not a rate. A Form 5500 carries no payroll, so the figure reflects both how much the employer puts in and how much the employer pays: two plans running the same formula report different amounts when one pays better. Crossing the peer group with industry holds most of that difference still, and none of it disappears.
This is one plan year, not an average. A true-up, a plan merger or a one-off contribution moves a single year on its own.

The $10,876 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. W. R. Berkley Corporation also files a Form 11-K, which states what the employer contributes for plan year 2025: the card below reads $2,475 a year at a $49,500 salary, and the same filing states employer contributions made outside the match. That second figure is what the formula pays one worker on that salary, and not an amount either filing reports. The two figures cover different plan years and measure different things, so neither one is the other one corrected.
What W. R. Berkley puts in
$2,475
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The filing discloses no match. The employer contributes 5% of pay on its own, whether or not the worker contributes.
The match paragraph, word for word
“Each Plan Year, the Company makes an Employer Profit Sharing Contribution to the Plan. The Company’s current minimum Employer Profit Sharing Contribution for each Plan Year is 5% of a Participant’s Earnings for the period of the calendar year that the Employee was a Participant, up to the maximum amount permitted for one year by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”). The Company’s Employer Profit Sharing Contribution is allocated as follows: 60% to the Participant’s Company Profit Sharing Account, subject to the Plan’s vesting schedule; and 40% to the Participant’s Tax-Deferred Contribution Account, which is 100% vested.”
What you contribute to collect all of it
Nothing.
There is no match to collect. The employer contributes whether or not you do.
Vesting score

How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. No schedule among the 369 we have scored is lower.
It measures vesting speed and nothing else. It says nothing about the size of the match, what the plan charges, or the funds inside it.
Share of the employer's money that is the worker's at hire and at each of the first 6 anniversaries: 0%, 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“Participants are fully vested in their Tax-Deferred and after-tax Roth Contributions, Roll-Over Contributions, Catch-up Contributions, the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution to their Tax-Deferred Contribution Account, and earnings thereon. Effective January 1, 2007, the vesting percent in the portion of the Employer Profit Sharing Contribution allocated to the Participant’s Company Profit Sharing Account occurs at the rate of 20% per year beginning on the second anniversary of continuous employment.”
The wait before the match starts and the year-end true-up appear above when the filing states them. Neither is part of the score, and a filing that is silent on one of them is not a plan without it.
What the plan costs, against plans of its size
33rd percentile
$39.44 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 67% of plans with 5,000+ participants.
What is W. R. Berkley's 401(k) match formula?
W. R. Berkley's filing discloses no employer matching contribution for this plan. Employer money that does not depend on what you put in is not a match, whatever the plan calls it. What counts as a match sets out the difference.
