Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Roscoe Police Pension Fund would have lost $262,649 in 2018, according to a Rockford Sun analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $3,840,096 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 15 years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $60,774 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $201,875 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 $309,890 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $235,839 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $99,150 – $35,263 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $409,040 in 2018.
