Such a fund already exists in the form of the Social Security Trust fund which primarily invests in United States Treasuries. The US Government also has In-Q-Tel which invests in pre-IPO startups (including SpaceX, Palantir). From time to time, the Treasury does make investments in certain sectors such as the financial industry (TARP) or the automotive industry.
