What are the main issues?

What outsiders say

The Peterson Sovereign Wealth Fund Report

April 2008 A Blueprint for Sovereign Wealth Fund Best Practices

Alaska number 10 world wide in size

Structure – 100

Governance – 80

Accountability and transparency – 100

Behavior – 84

Total: 94

13

Only beaten by the Canadian and New Zealand Pension Funds with 95’s

Why the 80 in governance?

Probably because it has not adopted ethical guidelines limiting investments in instruments, activities or countries.

Why the 84 in behavior?

Possibly because no rule or guideline on how it adjusts its portfolio (like using inflows to adjust allocation).
