Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Stone Park Police Pensionfund would have lost $731,424 in 2018, according to a West Cook News analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $3,983,989 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in six years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $197,310 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $928,734 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 $817,095 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has decreased from $2,515,374 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $60,576 – $40,269 less than five years ago.
