The Auckland Future Fund’s purpose is to enhance Auckland’s physical and financial resilience, and help fund regional services and infrastructure, thereby reducing reliance on rates.
By diversifying Auckland Council’s major investments, the Auckland Future Fund is part of a financial strategy to better protect and strengthen Auckland in times of need.
The fund is designed to create long-term benefits for the Auckland region and protect the value of intergenerational financial investments, so it benefits future generations and provides a positive return to council. There are strict management protections in place to maintain the real value of the fund over time.
The Auckland Future Fund was introduced as part of Auckland Council’s Long-term Plan 2024-2034. It launched in September 2024 as a council-controlled organisation.
