Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Rolling Meadows Police Pension Fund would have lost $5,509,600 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 $41,977,567 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 $1,949,568 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $3,560,032 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 $3,480,637 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $2,483,648 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $505,917 – $1,245 less than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $3,986,554 in 2018.
