In Alaska Statute 37.13.040, the Legislature highlighted APFC's purpose to manage and invest the assets of the Permanent Fund and other funds designated by law in accordance with AS 37.13.010 — 37.13.190.
In accordance with this statute, assets held by several other funds are invested by the Corporation under the same investment authority and fiduciary responsibility as the Permanent Fund. The assets of these other funds are commingled with those of the Permanent Fund for investment purposes. Earnings are separately allocated to the other funds on a pro-rata basis.
