Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Huntley Police Pension Fund would have lost $488,066 in 2018, according to a McHenry Times analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $9,360,842 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 20 years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $132,054 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $356,012 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 $811,523 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $462,721 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $318,896 – $42,846 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $1,130,419 in 2018.
