• Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation
– The Chief Executive Officer and her staff have been diligently working to ensure that a business continuity plan is in place to protect the assets, should there be a government shutdown.
This includes, ensuring that protocols with the Fund’s custodial bank are in place and that the ability to transfer money and make payments under existing agreements are secured. It is important to note that this plan does not provide for the active forward looking investment of the Fund that the Corporation engages in on a day to day basis.
Based on the advice received from the Department of Law, it is anticipated that during a shutdown no new investments will be pursued. There can be no assurance that a government shutdown will not have a material impact on the earnings and performance of the Fund for Fiscal Year 2018.
The APFC staff manages and invests the assets of the Alaska Permanent Fund and assets on behalf of the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority; they are among the many state employees who got lay-off notices.
