Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Quincy Police Pension Fund would have lost $814,713 in 2018, according to a Quincy Reporter analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $35,990,410 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 45 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $2,761,046 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $3,575,759 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 $2,822,719 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $1,712,630 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $543,001 – $56,244 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $3,365,720 in 2018.
