Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Urbana Police Pension Fund would have lost $43,204 in 2018, according to a Chambana Sun analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $39,278,747 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 910 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $2,658,685 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $2,701,889 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 $1,263,112 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has decreased from $2,080,616 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $452,353 – $58,399 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $1,715,465 in 2018.
