First National’s Wealth Management and Trust department has provided fiduciary services since 1947.  Over the years, our team has changed, but our focus has never wavered – helping Alaskans achieve their financial goals. At the heart of our team are experts you can trust. Backed by a strong corporate governance and culture, we are committed to:

Putting your interests first

Leading by example with ethics, honor and integrity

Listening and always striving to improve 

Investing in the future of our communities while mentoring the next generation

Wealth and investment management is not a one-time event but a dynamic process.  Because of this, it is important to have experts who lead with ethics, honor and integrity, giving you confidence and peace of mind at every step of the process.
