Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund would have lost $2,750,256 in 2018, according to a Lake County Gazette analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $21,015,845 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in eight years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $1,469,579 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $1,280,677 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 $850,296 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $589,303 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $205,423 – $26,756 less than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $1,055,719 in 2018.
