The Future Fund is a long‑term investment portfolio established to provide a sustainable source of income to support the Foundation’s activities.
The Fund is governed by contractual agreements with the Australian Government, which require that the original capital base, adjusted to maintain its real value in line with Darwin CPI, is preserved. Accordingly, only investment earnings are available for use.
The Fund is managed in accordance with an Investment Policy Statement, with oversight by the Board and the Audit, Risk and Investment Committee.
Certain components of the Fund are subject to restrictions on the use of earnings, including requirements that funds support activities in the Northern Territory.
