Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Montgomery Police Pension Fund would have lost $81,505 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 $9,837,202 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 121 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $466,741 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $548,246 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 $580,602 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $388,546 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $223,418 – $53,786 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $804,020 in 2018.
