Source: Schedule C of Form 5500 filings, form year 2024, DOL EFAST2 bulk data · DOL EFAST2

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

The published subset skews toward the largest plans, so its totals and medians do not describe the whole The Standard (StanCorp) book. The universe counts do.

What do 401(k) plans recordkept by The Standard (StanCorp) pay in fees?

The median plan-paid administrative cost across the 1,051 published plans recordkept by The Standard (StanCorp) is $94.88 per participant, against $122.17 across all 54,783 published plans with fee data. 614 of the 1,051 (58%) 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. 2 of the 1,053 published plans report no computable plan-paid cost and are excluded from the median.
