Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Carlinville Police Pension Fund would have lost $145,266 in 2018, according to a South Central Reporter analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $4,110,734 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 29 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $183,049 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $328,315 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 $356,939 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $219,898 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $66,720 – $16,218 more than five years ago.
