Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) Manifesto

Sovereign Wealth Fund Manifesto
A Vision for Transparency, Ethical Governance, and Public Wealth Distribution

Preamble

The U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a stronger, more equitable economy that serves the interests of all Americans, not just the powerful elite. This fund, derived from the collective wealth and resources of the nation, must be managed with integrity, accountability, and a conscious commitment to economic justice.

The SWF Manifesto establishes a framework for how this fund should operate—ensuring transparency, ethical governance, and a direct reinvestment of wealth into the people, communities, and future of the United States.

🔹 Core Principles of the SWF Manifesto

1️⃣ Radical Transparency: The People’s Right to Know

💠 Public Reporting – All investments, asset allocations, and financial movements within the SWF must be publicly disclosed quarterly. No secret deals, no hidden agendas.

💠 Independent Audits – A nonpartisan financial oversight committee must conduct annual audits, ensuring compliance with ethical investment standards.

💠 Citizen Access to SWF Data – The public should have easy, real-time access to how their collective wealth is being managed.

2️⃣ Public Wealth for Public Good: Reinvesting in America

💠 A Mandatory Reinvestment Clause – A minimum of 50% of all SWF-generated profits must be reinvested directly into public services, including:

Universal healthcare access

Education & student debt relief

Infrastructure & clean energy initiatives

Social safety nets & economic development programs

💠 No Corporate Giveaways – The SWF must not be used as a backdoor for corporate bailouts, crony capitalism, or political favoritism. Public money must serve the public.

3️⃣ Ethical Investment: A Conscious Economy Approach

💠 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Compliance – The SWF must adhere to high ethical investment standards—prioritizing sustainability, fair labor practices, and long-term societal well-being.

💠 No Investments in Destructive Industries – The fund must divest from fossil fuels, exploitative labor industries, and companies engaged in environmental destruction or human rights violations.

💠 Future-Proofing the Economy – The SWF should strategically invest in green technology, regenerative agriculture, and AI for public benefit—ensuring economic resilience for future generations.

4️⃣ Independent Governance: Shielding the Fund from Corruption

💠 An Independent SWF Oversight Commission – A nonpartisan, ethically guided body should oversee the SWF, with citizen representation included in its decision-making process.

💠 No Political Manipulation – SWF funds must not be weaponized for political agendas, campaign contributions, or partisan economic policies.

💠 Strict Conflict of Interest Laws – No government official, corporate executive, or lobbyist should personally profit from SWF investment decisions.

5️⃣ Collective Ownership: A Sovereign Fund for the People

💠 Every American is a Stakeholder – The SWF belongs to the people, not the government or financial elites.

💠 Exploring Direct Dividends – Future SWF profits should be explored as direct universal basic income (UBI) payments or tax relief for working-class Americans.

💠 State & Local Collaboration – SWF funds should also be used to empower state and municipal projects that align with ethical investment and public wealth creation.

🔹 The Call to Action: Ensuring This Vision Becomes Reality

The SWF Manifesto is a bold declaration that public wealth must serve public good. However, without legislative protections, this fund risks becoming yet another vehicle for elite wealth extraction.

🛑 We Demand:

✅ Congress must pass an SWF Anti-Corruption & Transparency Act to safeguard against corporate and political manipulation.

✅ A Citizens’ Oversight Board must be established to ensure transparency and ethical governance.

✅ SWF profits must be reinvested into the people and future of the country—not hoarded by financial elites.

📢 It’s time for the people to reclaim their wealth. Join the movement. Sign the petition. Demand accountability. This is our future. 🚀
