Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Sugar Grove Police Pension Fund would have lost $215,935 in 2018, according to a Kane County Reporter analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $3,483,392 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 17 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $149,704 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $365,639 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 $356,414 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $276,383 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $94,437 – $5,350 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $450,851 in 2018.
