Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the South Holland Police Pension Fund would have lost $118,187 in 2018, according to a South Cook News analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $26,964,471 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 229 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $1,912,656 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $2,030,843 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 $1,389,014 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $944,381 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $408,216 – $28,120 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $1,797,230 in 2018.
