Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Elburn Police Pension Fund would have lost $105,960 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 $1,135,340 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 11 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $4,254 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $110,214 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 $193,972 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has decreased from $224,970 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $42,291 – $3,756 less than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $236,263 in 2018.
