Inside the Principal & ERA: What Changes Each Fiscal Year September 10, 2025
Principal & ERA: Yearly Shifts Explained
Understanding the Fund’s structure is crucial, particularly the difference between the portion categorized as Principal and the Earnings Reserve Account (ERA).
- The start of each fiscal year brings a significant change in reported values, as the Percent of Market Value (POMV) transfer is moved out of the ERA to support state services and the dividend.
- The State of Alaska relies on the annual Percent of Market Value Draw (POMV) from the earnings of the Alaska Permanent Fund to provide more than 50% of the state’s unrestricted general fund revenues.
What to Know: At a Glance
Monitoring the Fund’s values enhances transparency, supports rules-based actions, and strengthens public confidence in its management.
- The ERA has a sufficient balance to provide for the FY27 POMV commitment for the current generation’s use of the Fund.
- Inflation proofing of the Principal was not appropriated in FY25 and FY26, impacting the intergenerational benefits of the Fund.
