Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Peotone Police Pension Fund would have lost $132,237 in 2018, according to a Will County Gazette analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $1,446,604 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 11 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $48,312 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $180,549 in expenses, according to the 2019 biennial report detailing the health of each of the state’s pension funds and retirement systems. The difference between the two shows the fund’s annual loss without subsidies.

Taxpayers added $163,970 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $158,476 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $47,724 – $3,579 less than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $211,694 in 2018.
