Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Roselle Police Pension Fund would have lost $3,222,077 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 $24,840,164 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 $1,150,254 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $2,071,823 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 $1,238,650 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $1,008,712 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $274,064 – $79,886 less than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $1,512,714 in 2018.
