Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Hampshire Police Pension Fund would have lost $26,929 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 $1,639,239 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 61 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $10,625 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $37,554 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 $200,000 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $126,076 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $86,757 – $9,829 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $286,757 in 2018.
