Fund Management
The Alaska Permanent Fund is a globally recognized sovereign wealth fund, established in 1976 by Alaskans to preserve and convert the State’s non-renewable oil and mineral wealth into a renewable financial resource for all generations of Alaskans.
The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation was created by the Alaska State Legislature in 1980 as an independent state entity tasked with the mission to manage and invest the assets of the Permanent Fund and other funds designated by law.
