Juneau – The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC) welcomes the recognition by PEI’s Private Debt Magazine as one of the “30 Most Influential Investors in Private Credit” for our internal management team’s pioneering contributions to this asset class.
On learning of this honor, Marcus Frampton, APFC’s Chief Investment Officer, remarked that “the purpose of our work is to generate attractive returns for the State not win awards, but it is great to see hard work and innovative thinking recognized with an industry ranking.”
The Alaska Permanent Fund’s Private Credit portfolio as of June 30, 2018 is valued at $1.2 billion and is comprised of investments that are asset backed and designed to generate high, regular income within the risk guidelines established by APFC’s Board of Trustees. This portfolio exemplifies APFC’s work to bring more management in-house. Since coming on staff in 2016 Jared Brimberry, Senior Portfolio Manager, has been successful in developing this program from a fund-of-funds approach to a leading direct allocator and co-investor, while providing excellent returns, earning 8.79%, 6.47%, and 7.20% in the fiscal year, 3 years, and 5 years ended June 30, 2018.
In May of this year, APFC launched the $1 billion hybrid credit effort named Alaska Direct Alternative Credit (ADAC), which is a collaboration between our Private Credit and Fixed Income Plus internal management staff. Investments in ADAC include a liquid portfolio of internally managed non-investment grade bonds and ETFs, and a private portfolio of co-investments alongside APFC’s private credit managers.

The Board of Trustees held a special meeting to discuss legislative initiatives designed to further APFC’s ability to deliver compelling returns and a sustainable revenue stream for Alaska.
In providing guidance on rules-based withdrawals for the Fund and to help ensure the long term sustainability of using Fund earnings for the benefit of all generations of Alaskans, the Board passed Resolution 18-04 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE ALASKA PERMANENT FUND CORPORATION RELATING TO A SUSTAINABLE RULES BASED LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR FUND TRANSFERS. The Resolution is in support of SB26 Chapter 16 SLA 18, an important first step in codifying a set of rules to establish a sustainable annual draw from the earnings reserve account.
Chair Craig Richards noted “with the passage of Resolution 18-04, the Board of Trustees affirm the importance of formulaic management of transfers into and out of the Earnings Reserve Account. Through the resolution the Board of Trustees encourage and support methods of effective transfers that help ensure sustainability and long term growth of the Fund.
