Vendor intelligence

Who runs the clubs’ benefit plans

When a club sponsors a retirement or welfare plan, its Form 5500 Schedule C names every service provider paid $5,000 or more — the recordkeeper, insurer, TPA, or investment advisor. These are the incumbent benefits vendors, ranked by how many clubs each serves.

Aggregated across the clubs we matched to a Form 5500 filing by sponsor EIN. Disclosed pay is the direct compensation reported on Schedule C; it is blank where the filer reported only indirect or eligible-indirect compensation. Coverage grows each year as more plan-year filings post — this is a floor, not a census.
