Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Anna Police Pension Fund would have lost $138,694 in 2018, according to a Southern Illinois News analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $2,555,898 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 19 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $65,539 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $204,233 in expenses, according to the 2019 biennial report detailing the health of each of the state’s pension funds and retirement systems.

Taxpayers added $258,330 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $224,945 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $35,413 – $10,133 more than five years ago.
