Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Shiloh Police Pension Fund would have lost $20,502 in 2018, according to a Metro East Sun analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $5,586,422 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 273 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $238,964 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $259,466 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 $407,906 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $307,243 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $122,068 – $19,887 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $529,974 in 2018.
