Permanent Fund (Rare Earth Elements)

The Permanent Fund for Rare Earth Elements (REEs) is a large, stable reserve of these critical minerals, which are essential for electronics, renewable energy, and advanced technology. Instead of actively mining and selling REEs right now, the fund invests these resources to generate ongoing income and safeguard future supplies. This approach ensures that even if immediate extraction isn't possible, the value of the resources is preserved for long-term economic and strategic benefits. Essentially, it’s a financial strategy to manage and protect rare earth resources for future use and stability.
