A plan counts toward Newport Group 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 Newport Group pay in fees?

The median plan-paid administrative cost across the 629 published plans recordkept by Newport Group is $160.89 per participant, against $122.17 across all 54,782 published plans with fee data. 233 of the 629 (37%) 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 630 published plans report no computable plan-paid cost and are excluded from the median.
