Building Total Trust Assets

Other Information:

Measurements: Annual Revenues Total Asset Balance Annual Revenues Trust assets are built through revenues generated from trust lands and by the increase in market value on the investment of those revenues. Measuring trust land revenues is an important barometer of the new money coming into the permanent fund. Once the revenues are generated by the Trust Lands Administration, the monies are turned-over to the State Treasurer for investment in stocks, bonds, and other securities Total Asset Balance The Trust Lands Administration has set a goal of $1 billion in Total Trust Assets by 2010. The stock market decline of 2001-2002 has eroded some of the market value of trust assets, but it is our belief that reaching the $1 billion goal is still possible. This can be accomplished by continuing the revenue results of the Trust Lands Administration and by improvements anticipated in the securities market.
