Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Glen Carbon Police Pension Fund would have lost $391,460 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 $7,466,577 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 20 years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $211,557 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $179,903 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 $452,209 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $263,303 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $111,768 – $4,731 less than five years ago.
