The short version

What the latest filing tells us

For the plan year ended Dec 31, 2024, AERO METALS, INC. reported $110,000 in employer contributions across the plan and 191 active participants. That works out to $576 per active participant. It is useful context, but it is not the current match formula and it does not show what any one employee received.

Participation proxy78%

Active participants divided by all end-of-year plan participants. This is not the company participation rate because the filing does not report every eligible employee.

Employer money trendNot enough history

Change in reported employer contribution per active participant across the filing history shown.

Expense trendDown 6.4%

Change in reported administrative expense per participant. Investment expenses may not be included.

Peer context17/100

A filing comparison among similar-size plans in the same industry when enough peers exist.

Where the public filing stops

Current match, vesting, eligibility, employee fees, and investment choices require a dated plan document. Until we have one, those details stay blank.
