By Deven Mitchell, CEO & Executive Director, Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation
In the nearly 50 years since Alaskans overwhelmingly voted to create the Alaska Permanent Fund, it has become a globally recognized sovereign wealth fund and a household name for every Alaskan. It symbolizes the conservative nature and strength of character of our forebearers, who saved a portion of their generation’s money earned from Alaska’s natural resources to provide financial benefits for all generations to come. The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation and our dedicated team are tasked with and committed to protecting and growing the Permanent Fund for the benefit of every Alaskan.
