Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Schaumburg Police Pension Fund would have lost $1,147,741 in 2018, according to a North Cook News analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $114,962,261 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 101 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $7,221,047 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $8,368,788 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 $5,471,525 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $4,158,651 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $1,124,803 – $58,576 more than five years ago.
