Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the East Peoria Police Pension Fund would have lost $557,788 in 2018, according to a Peoria Standard analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $27,583,971 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 50 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $1,691,945 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $2,249,733 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 $1,811,005 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $1,268,764 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $416,303 – $69,813 more than five years ago.
