Company Description

The Heritage Savings Trust Fund, or Heritage Fund, was established in 1976 to collect a portion of Alberta’s nonrenewable resource revenue. From an initial investment of $1.5 billion, the Heritage Fund’s value has grown to $31.9 billion as of December 31, 2025.

The Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund Act creates and establishes the mandate and governance structure for the Heritage Fund. The act states that the mission of the Heritage Fund is to provide prudent stewardship of the savings from Alberta’s non-renewable resources by providing the greatest financial returns on those savings for current and future generations of Albertans.

In 2022-23, the act was amended to require that income generated by the fund stays in it unless a withdrawal is authorized by Treasury Board. This change was, and remains, instrumental to the continued growth of the Heritage Fund.

Heritage Fund Opportunities Corporation

Operating under authority delegated by the Minister of Finance, the Heritage Fund Opportunities Corporation provides prudent stewardship of the Heritage Fund and other provincial endowments. The corporation is led by a skilled and highly qualified board of directors responsible for setting strategic direction, and the board operates independently at arm’s‑length from government.

The corporation is strengthening Heritage Fund oversight, while maintaining a strong commitment to operational accountability, transparency and cost discipline.
