Alaska Celebrates the Fund’s First 50 Years, Prepares for the Next 50 Years

January 14, 2026
Established by Alaskans for Alaskans
Fifty years ago, in 1976, Alaskan voters amended the state constitution to set aside a portion of the state’s revenues from oil and minerals to establish the Alaska Permanent Fund to benefit future generations of Alaskans.

“The generations who established and built the Permanent Fund prioritized the future of Alaska over their ability to take more for themselves. Fortunately for our state, they turned a time of short-term extraordinary wealth from nonrenewable resources into Alaska’s greatest renewable resource.  Fifty years later, it is our turn to lead to ensure that the Fund continues to serve Alaskans for generations to come.”

— Deven Mitchell, Executive Director & CEO
A portion of all oil and mineral revenues, along with special appropriations to grow the Fund and inflation proofing to maintain its purchasing power, are deposited into the Fund’s Principal. These contributions generate income that supports state services and the annual Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), distributed directly to Alaska residents.
Annual withdrawals for state services and the PFD are governed by a Percent of Market Value (POMV) draw, calculated using a five-year rolling average of the Fund’s value. Set in statute at 5 percent, the POMV framework is designed to maintain and protect the Principal over time.

“As a Board, we are deeply honored to help steward a resource that now provides the majority of Alaska’s annual revenue. As we mark the 50th anniversary, I’m profoundly grateful for the collaboration across this state that has brought us to this milestone. Our responsibility is clear: to ensure the Fund remains strong and sustainable so it can serve generations long after us.”

— Jason Brune, Chair, Board of Trustees

EDUCATION

  • Ten years after Alaska achieved statehood, oil was discovered on the North Slope, which led to Alaskans voting to create a Permanent Fund to invest oil proceeds for future generations. The first deposit was $734,000. After 40 years of wise management, APFC has grown the Permanent Fund to more than $85.8 billion. Want to know how we did it?

  • The Permanent Fund has two parts: the Principal and the Earnings Reserve Account (“ERA”). Both are invested together using the same asset allocation, but they are very different in how they can be used by law: the Principal is permanent savings, the ERA is available to spend.

  • APFC is a team of financial and legal professionals. It operates as a separate state entity under the oversight of an independent, professional Board of Trustees, who serve as fiduciaries of the Fund. The Board sets investment policy, reviews the portfolio’s performance, and works with management to determine APFC’s strategic direction.

  • It’s the APFC’s job to prudently manage the assets of the Alaska Permanent Fund. Our staff of professionals works with a team of international managers to invest the Permanent Fund’s billions across eight asset classes in both private and public markets. Under APFC’s stewardship, the Permanent Fund is recognized as one of the best-managed sovereign wealth funds in the world – well poised to serve Alaskans now and for many decades to come.

  • The Permanent Fund has largely replaced oil as a source of unrestricted revenues for our state government, which means it is more important to Alaskans than ever. We are pleased to present this booklet, which offers the basics of the Alaska Permanent Fund, its history, how APFC manages and invests these assets, and its essential role in Alaska's future.
