Investing in the Next Generation

At the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC), managing one of the largest sovereign wealth Funds in the country means thinking long-term about capital, risk, and people. Our internship program reflects the same commitment to Alaskan students, developing leaders to carry Alaska’s financial legacy forward.

Each summer, APFC welcomes undergraduate and graduate students into paid internships in investments and finance at our headquarters in Juneau. In addition, APFC has external partners that welcome interns across the U.S. Interns will gain firsthand experience in the professional world of institutional investing and accounting while contributing to the stewardship of Alaska’s most important financial asset.

At APFC, interns participate in real projects, collaborate across teams, and gain insight into the operations of a globally diversified Fund that manages more than $84 billion on behalf of Alaskans.

Whether analyzing markets, contributing to research, or working closely with our partners, interns gain invaluable exposure to institutional practices, and many stay connected to the Corporation long after the program ends.

Key features of the program include:

• 12–13 weeks of employment with dates tailored to students’ academic calendar
• Investment and Finance positions based in Juneau (external internship locations vary)
• Opportunities to work directly with industry experts
• Presentations, mentorship, and access to senior leadership
• Insight into asset management, investment portfolios, and finance

APFC is committed to investing in the next generation of informed Alaskans, while also creating opportunities, cultivating expertise, and equipping stewards for Alaska’s future. Many past interns have gone on to successful careers in finance, law, and public service, carrying forward the values of integrity, discipline, and long-term thinking that define APFC.

Applications for APFC’s 2026 internship program are now open and will be accepted through December 31, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. Alaska Time.

Candidates interested in investing and finance are encouraged to apply.
