Investing for Alaska

On November 2, 1976, Alaskans did something extraordinary. They chose to save a share of the state’s resource wealth for the benefit of generations yet to come, an enduring act of intergenerational stewardship.

Fifty years later, the Alaska Permanent Fund stands as one of Alaska’s most important financial resources and a lasting testament to that vision.

The Alaskans of 1976 could not have known what markets, Alaska’s economy, or state finances would look like in 2026. Nor can we know what they will look like in 2076. What we do know is what has proven durable: sustainable use, strong governance, disciplined investing, a mission-driven team, and a clear understanding of who we are working for: Alaskans.

As we celebrate what Alaska built, our responsibility is to carry that same spirit of stewardship forward, so the Alaskans of 2076 can be as grateful to us as we are to the Alaskans of 1976.
