Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Monticello Police Pension Fund would have lost $153,280 in 2018, according to a Chambana Sun analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $1,199,302 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in eight years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $9,502 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $162,782 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 $211,346 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $192,621 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $29,884 – $2,614 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $241,230 in 2018.
