The Alaska Permanent Fund is a constitutionally established fund, managed by a semi-independent corporation, established by Alaska in 1976. Shortly after the oil from Alaska’s North Slope began flowing to market through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, the Permanent Fund was created by an amendment to the constitution of the U.S. state of Alaska to be an investment for at least 25% of proceeds from some minerals [such as oil and gas] sale or royalties. The Fund does not include either property taxes on oil company property nor income tax from oil corporations, so the minimum 25% deposit is closer to 11% if those sources were also considered. The Alaska Permanent Fund sets aside a certain share of oil revenues to continue benefiting current and all future generations of Alaskans. Many citizens also believed that the legislature too quickly and too inefficiently spent the $900 million bonus the state got in 1969 after leasing out the oil fields. This belief spurred a desire to put some oil revenues out of direct political control.

  • The Alaska Permanent Fund is a constitutionally established fund, managed by a semi-independent corporation, established by Alaska in 1976. Shortly after the oil from Alaska’s North Slope began flowing to market through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, the Permanent Fund was created by an amendment to the constitution of the U.S. state of Alaska to be an investment for at least 25% of proceeds from some minerals [such as oil and gas] sale or royalties. The Fund does not include either property taxes on oil company property nor income tax from oil corporations, so the minimum 25% deposit is closer to 11% if those sources were also considered. The Alaska Permanent Fund sets aside a certain share of oil revenues to continue benefiting current and all future generations of Alaskans. Many citizens also believed that the legislature too quickly and too inefficiently spent the $900 million bonus the state got in 1969 after leasing out the oil fields. This belief spurred a desire to put some oil revenues out of direct political control. The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation manages the assets of both the Permanent Fund and other state investments, but spending Fund income is up to the Legislature. The Corporation is to manage for maximum prudent return, and not--as some Alaskans at first wanted--as a development bank for in-state projects. The Fund grew from an initial investment of $734,000 in 1977 to the current sum of approximately forty billion dollars as of July 13, 2007. Some growth was due to good management, some to inflationary re-investment, and some via legislative decisions to deposit extra income during boom years. Each year, the fund's realized earnings are split between inflation-proofing, operating expenses, and the annual Permanent Fund Dividend. (en)
  • El Alaska Permanent Fund es un fondo fideicomiso gestionado por la Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation, propiedad del estado de Alaska, que opera con el dinero procedente de al menos el 25% del capital que genera la explotación de minerales y petróleo en el Estado. La peculiaridad de este fondo reside en que constituye uno de los principales incentivos a los residentes en Alaska ya que toda persona que resida legalmente durante un mínimo de 6 meses recibe un dividendo correspondiente a una parte del rendimiento medio del fondo durante los últimos cinco años. En 2006 el pago ascendió a 1. 106$. Desde sus orígenes este fondo ha sufrido muchas modificaciones, representando actualmente una cartera diversificada a escala mundial por un importe superior a 23. 000 millones de dólares. (es)

  • Der Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) ist ein staatlich eingerichteter Fonds, der die Gewinne aus der lokalen Ölförderung Alaskas verwaltet. Der APF wurde 1976 durch einen Volksentscheid eingerichtet. Der Regierung war zuvor vorgeworfen worden, die Einnahmen aus dem Ölgeschäft zu schnell auszugeben. Seitdem fließen 25% der staatlichen Rohstoffeinnahmen an den Fonds. Die Hälfte des jährlichen Gewinnes wird nun über eine Dividende direkt an die Bewohner Alaskas ausgeschüttet. Jeder Bewohner erhält den gleichen Betrag, über den er frei verfügen kann. Der Kapitalstock betrug im Jahre 1977 734. 000 US-$ und wuchs bis 2007 auf über 40 Mrd. US-$ an. Der jedem Bewohner ausgezahlte Dividendenanteil betrug 2007 1654.00 US-$ (Ende 2007 über 1150 €). Die Auszahlung an die Bewohner Alaskas erfolgt bedingungslos. Der APF wird auch in Zusammenhang mit dem bedingungslosen Grundeinkommen genannt, obgleich der ausgezahlte Betrag nicht existenzsichernd ist. Er wird als Musterbeispiel angeführt, wie ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen kapitalgedeckt finanziert werden könnte. (de)
