401(k) Monitor

Iowa 401(k) plans with 5,000 or more participants

11 large 401(k) plans sponsored from Iowa reported 5,000 or more participants on their latest Form 5500 and have a page here. All of them are listed here, ranked by active participants.

Active participants means people still building up a balance, which is the count Form 5500 reports separately from total participants. Every row links to its own page, where the figures below come with the filing they were read from. The site reads every large filing in the DOL data and publishes a page for a part of it.

The plans

Ranked by active participants, the same order the site publishes plan pages in. Assets are Schedule H total assets at end of plan year, in USD. Cost per participant is plan-paid administrative expense, and a filing that itemized none says so instead of showing a zero.
