Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Naperville Police Pension Fund would have lost $15,939,824 in 2018, according to a DuPage Policy Journal analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $167,064,794 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 11 years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $8,335,404 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $7,604,420 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 $7,224,321 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has decreased from $7,731,885 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $1,763,521 – $188,193 more than five years ago.
