This is a pooled fund: many plans invest in it, and it holds the underlying securities.
This filing is a Direct Filing Entity (DFE) — a master trust or collective investment trust that pools assets from multiple participating plans. It does not have plan participants of its own, and the Plan Health Score formula doesn’t apply. Individual participant-facing plans that invest in this trust are the appropriate target for fiduciary analysis.
Cited interest vs pooled assets: cited interest sums what each participating plan reported holding in this trust, measured at that plan’s own year-end — and those filings span different years. Pooled assets is this single filing’s balance at one date. They’re independent measurements, so cited interest can land slightly above or below the pooled balance and won’t reconcile exactly.
Why no Schedule of Assets here? DFE holdings often live on the master trust’s own audited statement, not as a 4i schedule on the participating plans’ filings. We’re extending the parsing pipeline to cover DFE filings — see Methodology.

This filing is a master trust (Direct Filing Entity). It reports its pooled balance on Schedule H and lists 6 pooled (Schedule D) interests it feeds into; the line-item Schedule of Assets (Schedule H, Line 4i) attached to its PDF has not yet been parsed by our offline pipeline, so its individual fund-level holdings aren’t shown here.
See Methodology > Data linkages for how Form 5500 / Schedule H / Schedule D / Schedule of Assets fit together.
