Latest update
The Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund 2022-23 Second Quarter Report was released on November 24, 2022.
Over the quarter, performance was flat; however, fiscal year to date, the Fund is down 4.2%. The net financial assets of the Heritage Fund have fallen from $18.7 billion at March 31, 2022 to $17.9 billion at September 30, 2022.
Historically, fixed income and equity assets perform differently throughout various market cycles and add diversification benefits to the total portfolio. The worsening economic outlook, combined with increases in interest rates, have resulted in negative returns in equity and fixed income assets during the same time frame.
The Heritage Fund is focused on long-term results. Over the last 10 years, the Heritage Fund earned a return of 8.5%, while the target real return was 6.3%.

About the Heritage Fund
The Heritage Fund is Alberta’s main long-term savings fund. The Fund was established in 1976 to collect a portion of Alberta’s non-renewable resource revenue for future generations.
Today, the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) invests the Fund in a globally diversified portfolio across many assets classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.
The income produced by the Fund supports government programs essential to Albertans like health care, education and infrastructure.
The Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund is unique to Alberta. No other province has such a fund.
