Creative Wealth Funds
Permanent capital for a region’s creative economy.
A Creative Wealth Fund is an evergreen investment fund, established for one region with a public partner. It invests across that region’s creative economy: royalty and IP income, creators and their enterprises, productions, and the venues and studios where the work is made. Public and private capital invest side by side.
How the fund works
One fund. Public and private benefit by design.
Permanent.
An evergreen fund, built to hold creative assets for as long as their value keeps growing.
Private capital.
Investors take part in the fund’s performance alongside the public partner.
Public benefit.
The region’s share of the fund’s performance pays for public cultural programmes and reinvestment.
Independent decisions.
Each fund is independently governed and makes its own investment decisions.
What it invests in
Artistry
Royalty and IP income.
Catalogues and rights with contracted, long-lived income.
Creators and productions.
Growth investment in creators and their enterprises, and in film, series, games and writing. Creators keep majority ownership.
Infrastructure
Places to make the work.
Venues, studios and production space.
Bringing work to the region.
Co-investment alongside private capital in productions and enterprises that choose to base their work there.
Norway doesn’t subsidise its oil. It invests in it.
Norway chose to invest the wealth of a resource it already had, for the long term and for the public. A Creative Wealth Fund applies the same discipline to a region’s culture: a resource that renews, invested with private capital alongside.
Why it works for capital
Long-lived assets, priced short.
Creative rights earn for decades, and the most durable work is the most underpriced at the point of sale. A permanent fund can hold it while that value arrives.
Breadth across the creative economy.
Rights, creators, productions and facilities in one portfolio.
Public alignment.
Each fund is established with a public partner and anchored in the region’s creative economy and its long-term priorities.
One charter, many regions.
Every fund follows the same charter and runs on the same infrastructure, so allocators can build exposure region by region.
PNAQL and Creative Wealth
PNAQL and Creative Wealth are complementary and integrated entities, and each answers a different part of the same diagnosis. The Missing Market for Creative Utility finds that the lasting value of creative work goes unrealised for two reasons: no market architecture exists to unlock the value of creativity and the IP it creates, and no institution exists to hold that value on a community’s behalf.
PNAQL answers the first. It builds the market architecture the paper finds missing: the structures and infrastructure that unlock the value of creativity and IP, and make it something capital can reach through open, standardised instruments.
Creative Wealth answers the second. It is the non-profit, with PNAQL as its founding partner, that holds the charter for Creative Wealth Funds and works with regions to establish them, so that each fund holds the value of its region’s culture for the community that creates it.
The two are designed to work together. PNAQL is the market infrastructure every fund runs on, and each fund is a public-purpose institution with its own mandate in its region. One makes the value possible to hold, and the other holds it for a community.
The infrastructure every fund runs on.
Every Creative Wealth Fund runs on PNAQL infrastructure: the digital share register, issuance, transfer, investor checks and reporting. Creative Wealth, the non-profit that holds the charter, sets the standard every fund follows.
