Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Danville Police Pension Fund would have lost $2,617,515 in 2018, according to a Chambana Sun analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $18,666,903 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 $1,019,086 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $3,636,601 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 $2,856,389 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $1,586,574 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $406,201 – $27,835 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $3,262,590 in 2018.
