As a lifelong Alaskan, I’m continually astounded by the history, foresight, and vision that the founders of the Alaska Permanent Fund exhibited. By permanently allocating a portion of the royalties and providing ongoing protection against inflation, they made sacrifices to ensure all generations would benefit from the state’s resource wealth. The resilience demonstrated over the years in defending and advancing the Fund to its present level is something that every Alaskan can take great pride in.

This legacy frames the duty and responsibility for us as the current generation of Alaskans, to protect and manage the wealth of the Fund. We face many challenges in today’s dynamic market but remain diligent in our portfolio management, focusing on achieving best-in-class performance. Investing the Fund to ensure that it benefits us both today and in the long term requires commitment, discipline, and accountability.
