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. The difference between the two shows the fund’s annual loss without subsidies.

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.

In all, subsidies amounted to $293,743 in 2018.
