Filings lag by design: a plan can file up to 9½ months after its year ends, so this is the newest data on file. Why filings lag

A plan counts toward American Trust only when its Schedule C names a provider the pipeline could map to this brand. A filing naming a provider it could not map is counted in nobody’s book, so every count here is a lower bound rather than a full book.
What do 401(k) plans recordkept by American Trust pay in fees?
The median plan-paid administrative cost across the 90 published plans recordkept by American Trust is $186.33 per participant, against $122.17 across all 54,782 published plans with fee data. 23 of the 90 (26%) pay less than that all-plans median.
These are plan-paid expenses from Schedule H only. Fees the sponsor pays directly, and fees embedded in fund expense ratios, never appear here, so every figure is a floor, not the all-in cost. The recordkeeper is one of several providers a plan pays. 1 of the 91 published plans report no computable plan-paid cost and are excluded from the median.

Which are the biggest 401(k) plans American Trust administers?
