What the Filing Says About AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION RETIREMENT PLAN

AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION RETIREMENT PLAN is a 401(k) retirement plan sponsored by AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION INC., headquartered in West Virginia. As of the 2023 Form 5500 filing, the plan reports $259M in total end-of-year assets and covers 5,728 participants across the Educational Services industry.

Year over year, total assets moved from $215M at the beginning of 2023 to $259M at year-end — a gain of 20.7%. Net assets (after liabilities) closed the year at $259M, with reported net income of $44M driven by investment returns, contributions received, and benefit payments during the period. These figures reflect what the plan administrator certified on Schedule H or Schedule I of the Form 5500 annual return and can be compared against 2 prior plan-year filings from the same sponsor shown below.

Asset totals and participant counts reflect a single plan year snapshot and can change materially with market conditions, plan mergers, or workforce changes. Fields such as "net income" include both realized investment performance and contribution/distribution flows — a single-year figure does not by itself indicate plan health or participant outcomes.
