* | Non-income producing security. |
‡ | Value determined using significant unobservable inputs. |
(a) | Senior loans pay interest at rates that are periodically determined on the basis of a floating benchmark lending rate, sometimes subject to a floor, plus a spread, unless otherwise indicated. The most popular benchmark lending rates are LIBOR (the rate that contributor banks in London charge each other for interbank deposits), SOFR (a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities in the repurchase agreement market), and the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (“Prime”). LIBOR, SOFR and Prime were utilized as benchmark lending rates for the senior loans at March 31, 2022. The rates shown represent the contractual rates (benchmark rate or floor plus spread) in effect at period end. |
(b) | The Credit Facility is secured by a lien on all or a portion of the security. |
(c) | Represents a security that is subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. The Fund generally acquires its investments in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Its investments are therefore generally subject to certain limitations on resale, and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act. |
(d) | Represents less than 0.05% of net assets. |
(e) | Security fair valued as of March 31, 2022 in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Total value of all such securities at March 31, 2022 amounted to $110,066,801, which represents approximately 35.95% of net assets of the Fund. |
(f) | All or a portion of this position has not yet settled as of March 31, 2022. The Fund will not accrue interest on its Senior Loans until the settlement date at which point LIBOR, SOFR or Prime will be established. |
(g) | Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A or section 4(a)2 of the Securities Act of 1933. Total value of all such securities at March 31, 2022 amounted to $20,696,352, which represents approximately 6.76% of net assets of the Fund. |
(h) | Represents 7-day effective yield as of March 31, 2022. |

The Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its Managed Assets, defined as total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes), in a credit portfolio of below investment grade credit assets including syndicated bank loans, middle market “club” loans (senior secured loans in middle market companies funded by an arranged group of lenders that generally does not involve syndication), direct lending (consisting of first lien loans, including unitranche loans), asset-based loans, and high-yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk” bonds).
The Fund currently offers two classes of Common Shares: Class A Shares and Class I Shares. The Fund has been granted exemptive relief (the "Exemptive Relief") from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that permits the Fund to issue multiple classes of shares and to impose asset-based distribution fees and early-withdrawal fees. The Fund may offer additional classes of shares in the future.
First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (“FEIM” or the “Adviser “) is the investment adviser of the Fund. The Adviser is a subsidiary of First Eagle Holdings, Inc. (“First Eagle Holdings”). A controlling interest in First Eagle Holdings is owned by BCP CC Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BCP CC Holdings”). BCP CC Holdings GP L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, is the general partner of BCP CC Holdings and has two managing members, Blackstone Capital Partners VI L.P. (“BCP VI”) and Corsair IV Financial Services Capital Partners L.P. (“Corsair IV”). BCP VI and Corsair IV are indirectly controlled by Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) and Corsair Capital LLC (“Corsair”), respectively. Investment vehicles indirectly controlled by Blackstone and Corsair and certain co-investors own a majority economic interest in First Eagle Holdings and the Adviser through BCP CC Holdings.
First Eagle Alternative Credit, LLC (“FEAC” or the “Subadviser”), in its capacity as the alternative credit group of FEIM, serves as the Fund’s investment subadviser. The Subadviser is an investment adviser for both direct lending and broadly syndicated investments, through public and private vehicles, collateralized loan obligations, separately managed accounts and commingled funds. The Subadviser was formed in 2009 under the name THL Credit Advisors LLC. In January 2020, the Subadviser was acquired by FEIM and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies that are adhered to by the Fund. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards (the “FASB”) Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
| a. | Investments in Subsidiaries - The First Eagle Credit Opportunities Fund SPV, LLC (the “SPV”), established on January 11, 2021, is a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, which functions as the Fund’s special purpose, bankruptcy-remote, financing subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the SPV. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of March 31, 2022, the SPV has $70,327,880 in net assets, representing 22.97% of the Fund’s net assets. |
| b. | Investment Valuation - The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of the Fund, less its liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding at the time of such computation. The Fund computes its NAV per share as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. |
Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. In circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted methods for determining the fair value of such securities and other assets.
The Fund’s securities are valued by various methods, as described below:
Senior Loans refers to Loans and Assignments, Bank Loans, Direct Lending and Middle Market “Club” Loans. Senior Loans are primarily valued by using a composite loan price at the mean of the bid and ask prices from an approved pricing service. Investments, including Direct Loans, which are in their early stages of a private investment are generally fair valued at their cost which approximates market value and are monitored by FEIM and FEAC (individually or collectively referred to as “First Eagle Management”) for any significant positive or negative events that would impact valuation of the investment.
All bonds, whether listed on an exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are generally priced at the evaluated bid price provided by an approved pricing service as of the close of trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 PM EST), or dealers in the over-the-counter markets in the United States or abroad. Pricing services and broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, dealers or pricing services utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the dealers or pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable instruments and the various relationships between instruments in determining value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique features of the instrument in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. First Eagle Management's Oversight Committee, at least annually, will review the pricing service’s inputs, methods, models, assumptions for its evaluated prices.
Non-exchange traded equity securities may be valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on the average of the bid/ask prices quoted by brokers that are knowledgeable about the securities. If broker quotes are unavailable then the equity will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board.
Investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value.
If a price is not available from an independent pricing service or broker, or if the price provided is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. Fair value methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.
The Fund adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This applies to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency of those measurements and applies broadly to securities and other types of assets and liabilities.
The Fund discloses the fair value of the investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs or assumptions to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.);
Level 3 — Other significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments).
The two primary significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s debt investments is the weighted average cost of capital, or WACC, and the comparative yield. Significant increases (decreases) in the WACC or in the comparative yield in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. In determining the WACC, for the income, or yield approach, the Fund considers current market yields and multiples, portfolio company performance, leverage levels, credit quality, among other factors, including U.S. federal tax rates, in its analysis. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate WACC to use in the income approach. In determining the comparative yield, for the income, or yield approach, the Fund considers current market yields and multiples, weighted average cost of capital, portfolio company performance, leverage levels, credit quality, among other factors, including U.S. federal tax rates, in its analysis.
The primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s equity investments, investments in warrants, and other debt investments using a market approach is the EBITDA multiple adjusted by management for differences between the investment and referenced comparables, or the multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in the multiple in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. To determine the multiple for the market approach, the Fund considers current market trading and/or transaction multiples, portfolio company performance (financial ratios) relative to public and private peer companies and leverage levels, among other factors. Changes in one or more of these factors can have a similar directional change on other factors in determining the appropriate multiple to use in the market approach.
Fair valuation of securities, other financial instruments or other assets (collectively, “securities”) held by the Fund shall be determined in good faith under the supervision and responsibility of the Board. The Board has created a Credit Valuation and Allocation Committee to oversee the execution of the valuation and allocation procedures for the Fund.
The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments under the fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2022:

(a) This column represents the direction change in the fair value of Level 3 securities that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable inputs. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases of these inputs could result in significantly higher or lower gain value determination.
Note 3 - Securities and Other Investments
The Fund’s portfolio primarily consists of some combination of the following types of investments:
Syndicated Loans — Syndicated loans are typically underwritten and syndicated by large commercial and investment banks. These loans may be recently originated by such banks pursuant to the originating bank’s, or lead arranger’s, underwriting standards applicable to corporate borrowers at the time of issuance. The Fund may purchase syndicated loans either in the primary market in connection with their syndication or in the secondary market. In most cases, syndicated loans will be secured by specific collateral of the issuer. In general, most of the syndicated loans purchased by the Fund will be current on principal and interest payments at the time of purchase. However, the Fund can purchase syndicated loans that are not current on principal and are likely to default. In addition, syndicated loans held by the Fund may at times cease being current on principal and interest payments. When all or a portion of a loan held by the Fund has not yet settled, the Fund does not accrue interest on such a loan until the settlement date at which point LIBOR, SOFR or Prime will be established.
Middle Market “Club” Loans — Middle market “club” loans are loans made to upper middle market companies that may not have access to traditional capital markets. Middle market “club” loans are distinct from customary direct lending loans described herein in that they are generally more liquid, often rated by a third party and funded by more than one lender, often a “club” of unaffiliated lenders. Middle market “club” loans held by the Fund will consist of first lien senior secured loans.
Direct Lending — The Fund may invest in sponsor-backed, first lien senior secured directly originated loans (including “unitranche” loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt, generally in a first lien position) of middle-market U.S. companies. Direct lending middle market loans are generally illiquid, unrated and funded by one affiliated lender group.
Asset-Based Loans — Asset-Based loans are loans that are secured by collateral consisting of inventory, accounts receivable, machinery/equipment, real estate, intellectual property/brands and/or other assets owned by the borrower(s) where by the underlying loan will be underwritten by the value of the collateral. These loans are highly structured and typically include frequent monitoring including but not limited to financial and collateral reporting. The term loans are provided to both private and public borrowers with varying ownership structures.
High Yield Bonds — The Fund may invest in high-yield bonds, which are securities rated below “Baa3” by Moody’s, lower than “BBB-” by S&P and/or lower than “BBB-” by Fitch Ratings and unrated debt securities and other types of credit instruments of similar quality, commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” Such securities are predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. The ratings of S&P represent its opinion as to the credit quality of the securities it undertakes to rate. It should be emphasized, however, the ratings are relative and subjective and, although ratings may be useful in evaluating the safety of interest and principal payments, they do not evaluate the market price risk of these securities. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund depends on credit analysis to identify investment opportunities.
Note 4 - Unfunded Commitment/Delayed Draw Loan Commitment
As of March 31, 2022, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments outstanding, which could be extended at the option of the borrower:
