Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Morton Grove Police Pension Fund would have lost $4,950,935 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 $33,521,597 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in seven years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $1,247,471 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $3,703,464 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 $2,695,291 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $1,746,014 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $465,264 – $65,674 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $3,160,555 in 2018.
