CULTURE
LIFE IN ALASKA
Alaskan residents rank quality of life as the number one reason they live here. From the moment you step off the plane, it is easy to see that Alaska is one of the best-kept secrets in the country. Beautiful, forested mountains, glaciers, flowing rivers, and ocean channels are around every turn. With minimal traffic, no pollution, and some of the cleanest water you will ever have, the last frontier is just secluded enough to balance small-town charm with a strong political and economic presence.
What is it like to live and work here? For many, it is the chance of a lifetime to escape the hassles/stresses of city life, live more simply, and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime. Traffic in Alaska is negligible relative to the average large city; the average commute in Juneau is just 7-12 minutes, and around 19 minutes in Anchorage. This can save you up to 130 hours (almost 17 workdays) a year spent commuting. What an incredible opportunity to work with a dynamic, progressive organization while maintaining an exceptional work-life balance.
DIVERSITY
Built on the foundation of trust and respect, we have experts from all over the world working together to challenge the status quo and provide insight in to the investment landscape that is uniquely APFC. We take a great deal of pride in our cultural diversity and will continue to build our organization with an emphasis on expanding our diverse team.
INTERNSHIPS
APFC has two programs available to qualifying Alaska students to gain relevant experience in investment management and finance.
INTERNAL INTERNSHIPS
Pictured above are APFC 2023 interns: Finance Intern Tatum Hines and Investment Intern Ellie Knapp.
Each year APFC selects two interns for a 12-13 week internship program working in our corporate headquarters; both internships provide exposure to the daily operations of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation. The Investment and Research Internship provides an introduction to the actual workings of the investment industry and hands-on experience, and the Accounting Internship provides an introduction to the basic principles of investment accounting and hands-on accounting experience. These opportunities are open for application around the first of the year and are exclusively for students with direct ties to Alaska.
EXTERNAL INTERNSHIPS
Through our External Manager Internship Program, APFC works in conjunction with several of our external managers and partners to provide more opportunities for students seeking hands-on experience. APFC facilitates the intern candidate pools for our External Managers. The length of the internship is dependent upon the External Managers organization policies. Candidates must have direct ties to Alaska and a keen interest in working with APFC’s managers. These internships are typically in Alaska, California, Massachusetts, New York and Texas.
