Letter from the President (unaudited)

Mehdi Mahmud

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

We wrote in the last few letters about the distinction between volatility and risk, and the divergent paths they have taken. On the one hand, low equity volatility meant that the market marched steadily higher, thereby pricing increasingly optimistic scenarios into future expectations. On the other hand, the risk side of the ledger grew meaningfully over time across the spectrum of stretched asset valuations, inflated fiscal imbalances and thorny geopolitical tensions. Sooner or later, the dichotomy between volatility and risk had to correct, either with increased volatility and concomitant negative impact on asset valuations, or through the benign resolution of key risks. Over the course of 2018, many of the key risks have come into sharper focus in the broader market, and we are experiencing an increase in volatility and consequent contraction in asset valuations. We see this increase in risk-perception as a positive development over the longer term.

Emerging equity and debt markets have remained under pressure for much of the year. In particular, stocks in China generally suffered steep declines, with the equity market down approximately 20% year-to-date based on the MSCI China Index. Problems in China run deeper than the trade dispute with the U.S. China has been at the epicenter of the boom in global money-supply growth and debt creation, which has been the source of sustained economic growth not only in China but also across the globe. Even small downshifts in economic conditions could cause the debt cycle to turn viciously negative, and we believe investors are only beginning to understand and price the potential impact of this risk into asset valuations.

Europe continues to struggle with growth, and the rise of nationalism is starting to nip at the edges of the grand experiment that is the European Union—Brexit and the recently proposed Italian budget are striking examples, but the theme manifests itself in political trends across much of Europe. European unemployment is down, as it is in many regions, and commentators say that economic conditions appear benign, but we wonder to what extent economic conditions supported by negative real interest rates should be considered "benign." European banks' share prices are down substantially and could be the proverbial canary in the coal mine.

Letter from the President (unaudited)

Conditions in the U.S. are in stark contrast with most large economies. The U.S. economy has recovered strongly from the Great Recession, and unemployment is at 3.7%,* a level last seen in the late 1960s. What worries us about the U.S. is the budget deficit, which is currently at 4%* and is expected to grow. This deficit is large relative to where we are in the business cycle, and it raises the specter of even larger deficits if the economy were to weaken. By comparison, when unemployment was last approximately 4%* in the late 1990s, the U.S. had a budget surplus. It will take a few more quarters to determine how much of the recent growth in corporate earnings was the result of fiscal stimulus, including tax reform, and how much of that growth might be self-sustaining.

More generally, economies around the world did not use the upcycle since the global financial crisis to deleverage; if anything, the leverage that was applied to aid in recovery efforts has multiplied over time. As a result, debt (in proportion to GDP) is higher than in 2007-2008 for most developed markets. The recent increase in financial market volatility—across all asset classes, not just equities—is a sign that investors are finally beginning to factor risk into their assessments of valuation. This is a healthy, if sometimes nerve-wracking, process.

Our patient, long-term-oriented, "margin-of-safety" driven approach to value investing has led us in our view to be positioned appropriately for current conditions. We believe it is important to remain prudent and to proceed with caution while taking advantage of volatility by deploying capital into great businesses at sensible valuations.

Global Value Team

The Global Value team maintained a cautious posture, holding slightly less than 30% of the Global, Overseas and U.S. Value funds in cash, cash equivalents, bonds, gold and gold-related investments, and approximately 10% of the Global Income Builder Fund in cash, cash equivalents and gold. Despite overall caution, cash levels recently decreased to their lowest levels since early 2016. As volatility returned to markets in the fall, some share prices fell to attractive levels, and the team was able to initiate a few new positions and enlarge many existing positions in companies across various sectors and geographies.

High Yield Team

During this period, volatility also rose in the fixed income markets. Yields of ten-year Treasuries gyrated as the market was pulled in opposite directions by the transition to a more normal monetary policy and a generalized risk-off sentiment. The High Yield team continued to work to reduce exposure to risks for which the market was not providing adequate compensation. The team kept duration short and

emphasized bonds of relatively high credit quality, including a sizable allocation to investment-grade bonds. The team attempted to steer clear of smaller bonds and loans that might have limited liquidity, and also maintained a substantial cash position.

Fund of America Team

In an environment changed by both the end of the Federal Reserve accommodation and an increase in concerns about global economic growth, markets placed a premium on certainty. Against this backdrop, corporate change stories did not fare very well. The Fund of America team continued to focus on areas where it expected change catalysts to be robust, such as stories of management change or impending spinoffs. The Fund sought investments in companies that could deploy a large amount of financial self-help to take advantage of market volatility.

We are thankful for the opportunity to serve you.

Sincerely,

Mehdi Mahmud
President

First Eagle defines "margin-of-safety" as the difference between a company's purchase price and our estimate of its intrinsic value.

Effective July 1, 2018, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive First Eagle High Yield Fund's management fee at an annual rate in the amount of 0.10% of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets for the period through February 29, 2020. This waiver has the effect of reducing the management fee for the term of the waiver from 0.70% to 0.65% until June 30, 2018 and from 0.70% to 0.60% from July 1, 2018 through the end of the year on First Eagle High Yield Fund.

¹⁶  For the First Eagle U.S. Value Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund, had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed, returns would have been lower.

¹⁷  Certain other share classes were newly organized during the period but did not yet have assets or expenses during the period.

These expense ratios are presented as of March 1, 2018 and may differ from corresponding ratios shown elsewhere in this report because of differing time periods (and/or, if applicable, because these expense ratios do not include expense credits or waivers).

Performance Chart (unaudited)

There are risks associated with investing in funds that invest in securities of foreign countries, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These risks may be more pronounced with respect to investments in emerging markets. Funds whose investments are concentrated in a specific industry or sector may be subject to a higher degree of risk than funds whose investments are diversified and may not be suitable for all investors.

All securities may be subject to adverse market trends. The value of a Fund's portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to the companies or stock or bond markets in which a Fund invests, as well as economic, political, or social events in the United States or abroad. This may cause a Fund's portfolio to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer or the market as a whole. As a result, a portfolio of such securities may underperform the market as a whole.

In addition to investments in larger companies, each Fund may invest in small and medium-size companies, which historically have been more volatile in price than larger company securities, especially over the short term. Positions in smaller companies, especially when the Fund is a large holder of a small company's securities, also may be more difficult or expensive to trade. Among the reasons for the greater price volatility are the less certain growth prospects of smaller companies, the lower degree of liquidity in the markets for such securities and the greater sensitivity of smaller companies to changing economic conditions. In addition, smaller companies may lack depth of management, they may be unable to generate funds necessary for growth or development, or they may be developing or marketing new products or services for which markets are not yet established and may never become established. The Funds consider small companies to be companies with market capitalizations of less than $1 billion and medium-size companies to have market capitalizations of less than $10 billion.

Holding illiquid securities restricts or otherwise limits the ability for a Fund to freely dispose of its investments for specific periods of time. A Fund might not be able to sell illiquid securities at its desired price or time. Changes in the markets or in regulations governing the trading of illiquid instruments can cause rapid changes in the price or ability to sell an illiquid security. The market for lower-quality debt instruments, including junk bonds and leveraged loans, is generally less liquid than the market for higher-quality debt instruments.

Investment in gold and gold-related investments present certain risks, including political and economic risks affecting the price of gold and other precious metals like changes in U.S. or foreign regulatory policies, tax, currency or mining laws, increased environmental costs, international monetary and political policies, economic conditions within an individual country, trade imbalances, and trade or currency restrictions between countries. The price of gold, in turn, is likely to affect the market prices of securities of companies mining or processing gold, and accordingly, the value of investments in such securities may also be affected. Gold-related investments as a group have not performed as well as the stock market in general during periods when the U.S. dollar is strong, inflation is low and general economic conditions are stable. In addition, returns on gold-related investments have traditionally been more volatile than investments in broader equity or debt markets.

The event-driven investment style of the First Eagle Fund of America carries the additional risk that the event anticipated occurs later than expected, does not occur at all, or does not have the desired effect on the market price of the securities.

First Eagle High Yield and Global Income Builder Funds invest in high yield instruments (commonly known as "junk bonds") which may be subject to greater levels of interest rate, credit (including issuer default) and liquidity risk than investment grade instruments and may experience extreme price fluctuations. The securities of such companies may be considered speculative and the ability of such companies to pay their debts on schedule may be uncertain.

Performance Chart (unaudited)

First Eagle High Yield and Global Income Builder Funds invest in bank loans. These investments potentially expose a fund to the credit risk of the underlying borrower, and in certain cases, of the financial institution. The fund's ability to receive payments in connection with the loan depends primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The market for bank loans may be illiquid and the fund may have difficulty selling them, especially in the case of leveraged loans, which can be difficult to value. In addition, bank loans often have contractual restrictions on resale, which can delay the sale and adversely impact the sale price. At times, a fund may decline to receive non-public information relating to loans, which could disadvantage the fund relative to other investors.

Funds that invest in bonds are subject to credit and interest rate risk. The value of a fund's portfolio may fluctuate in response to the risk that the issuer of a bond or other instrument will not be able to make payments of interest and principal when due. In addition, fluctuations in interest rates can affect the value of debt instruments held by a fund. An increase in interest rates tends to reduce the market value of debt instruments, while a decline in interest rates tends to increase their values. Longer duration instruments tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter durations.

Income generation and dividends are not guaranteed. If dividend paying stocks in the fund's portfolio stop paying or reduce dividends the fund's ability to generate income will be adversely affected.

An investment made at a perceived "margin of safety" or "discount to intrinsic or fundamental value" can trade at prices substantially lower than when an investment is made, so that any perceived "margin of safety" or "discount to value" is no guarantee against loss.

All investments involve the risk of loss.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

First Eagle Funds (the "Trust"), is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). The Trust consists of seven separate portfolios, First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Gold Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund, First Eagle High Yield Fund and First Eagle Fund of America (each individually a "Fund" or collectively the "Funds"). All the Funds are diversified mutual funds except for First Eagle Gold Fund and First Eagle Fund of America, which are non-diversified. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust. The First Eagle Global Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a range of asset classes from markets in the United States and throughout the world. The First Eagle Overseas Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equities issued by non-U.S. corporations. The First Eagle U.S. Value Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in domestic equity and debt securities. The First Eagle Gold Fund seeks to provide investors the opportunity to participate in the investment characteristics of gold (and to a limited extent other precious metals) for a portion of their overall investment portfolio. The First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund seeks current income generation and long-term growth of capital. The First Eagle High Yield Fund seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income. The First Eagle Fund of America seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in domestic stocks and, to a lesser extent, in debt and foreign equity securities.

The Funds offer seven share classes, Class A shares, Class C shares, Class I shares, Class R3 shares, Class R4 shares, Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares. Additionally, First Eagle Fund of America also offers Class Y shares.

a)  Investments in Subsidiaries — The First Eagle Global Fund (the "Global Fund"), First Eagle Overseas Fund (the "Overseas Fund"), First Eagle U.S. Value Fund (the "U.S. Value Fund"),

Notes to Financial Statements

and First Eagle Gold Fund (the "Gold Fund") may invest in certain precious metals through their investment in the First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd., First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd., First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd., and First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd., respectively, each a wholly owned subsidiary (each referred to herein as a "Subsidiary" or collectively "the Subsidiaries"). Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of its respective Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary has the ability to invest in commodities and securities consistent with the investment objective of its respective Fund. Substantially all of each Subsidiary's assets represent physical gold bullion, and First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd. also holds physical silver. Trading in bullion directly by the Funds presents the risk of tax consequences (e.g., a change in the Funds' tax status subjecting the Funds to be taxed at the Fund level on all of their income if the Funds' "non-qualifying income" exceeds 10% of the Funds' gross income in any taxable year). Trading in bullion by the Subsidiaries generally does not present the same tax risks.

The First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on October 18, 2013, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the First Eagle Global Fund and the First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of October 31, 2018, the First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd. has $3,925,699,567 in net assets, representing 7.68% of the Global Fund's net assets.

The First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on October 18, 2013, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the First Eagle Overseas Fund and the First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd.

The First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on January 24, 2012, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the First Eagle U.S. Value Fund and the First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of October 31, 2018, the First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd. has $181,943,411 in net assets, representing 9.95% of the U.S. Value Fund's net assets.

The First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on May 28, 2010, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the First Eagle Gold Fund and the First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

b)  Investment valuation — Each Fund computes its net asset value once daily as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading. The net asset value per share is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of a Fund, less its liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding at the time of such computation.

Notes to Financial Statements

A portfolio security (including an option), other than a bond, which is traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or a securities exchange abroad is generally valued at the price of the official close (last sales price if an official closing price is not available) as of the local market close on the primary exchange. If there are no round lot sales on such date, such security will be valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices (and if there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long or short positions, respectively). Securities, other than bonds, traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices prior to the time of valuation (and if there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long or short positions, respectively), except if such unlisted security is traded on the NASDAQ in which case it is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Such prices are provided by approved pricing vendors or other independent pricing sources.

All bonds, whether listed on an exchange or traded in the over-counter-market for which market quotations are readily available are generally priced at the evaluated bid price provided by an approved pricing service, 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 securities and the various relationships between securities 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 security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Short-term investments are valued at evaluated bid prices.

Commodities (such as physical metals) are valued at a calculated evaluated mean price, as provided by an independent price source as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Prior to June 18, 2018, commodities were valued at the indicative mean of the best-bid/best-offer immediately prior to the close of the NYSE.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the current cost of covering or offsetting such contracts, by reference to forward currency rates at the time the NYSE closes (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), as provided by an independent pricing source.

The exchange rates, as provided by an independent price source as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) are used to convert foreign security prices into U.S. dollars.

Any security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange (or traded in multiple markets) is valued at the official close on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded. In the absence of such a quotation, a security may be valued at the last quoted sales price on the most active exchange or market as determined by the independent pricing agent. The Funds use pricing services to identify the market prices of publicly traded securities in their portfolios.

Notes to Financial Statements

When market prices are determined to be "stale" as a result of limited market activity for a particular holding, or in other circumstances when market prices are unavailable, such as for private placements, or determined to be unreliable for a particular holding, such holdings may be "fair valued" in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees ("Board"). The values assigned to a Fund's holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values.

Certain Funds with non-U.S. holdings have adopted procedures under which movements in the prices for U.S. securities (beyond specified thresholds) occurring after the close of a foreign market may require fair valuation of securities traded in that foreign market. The determination of whether a particular foreign investment should be fair valued will be based on review of a number of factors, including developments in foreign markets and security-specific events. The values assigned to a Fund's holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values, especially during periods of higher market price volatility. The Board and the Adviser believe relying on the procedures as just described will result in prices that are more reflective of the actual market value of portfolio securities held by the Funds than relying solely on reported market values.

The Funds 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 Funds disclose the fair value of their 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 Funds' 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 significant unobservable inputs that may be used in determining valuations for investments identified within Level 3 are market comparables and the enterprise value of a company. Indications of value and quotations may be observable at any given time, but are currently treated by the Funds as unobservable. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement.

Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for marketability, probability of insolvency and probability of default may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement.

Notes to Financial Statements

Fair valuation of securities, other financial investments or other assets (collectively, "securities") held by the Funds shall be determined in good faith under the supervision and responsibility of the Board. The Board has created a Board Valuation Committee (the "Committee") to oversee the execution of the valuation and liquidity procedures for the Funds.

The following is a summary of the Funds' inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of October 31, 2018:

†  See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

c)  Investment transactions and income — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The specific identification method is used in determining realized gains and losses from investment transactions. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis. In computing investment income, each Fund accretes discounts and amortizes premiums on debt obligations using the effective yield method. Investment income is allocated to each Fund's share class in proportion to its relative net assets. Payments received from certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, capital gains and return of capital. The Funds originally estimate the expected classification of such payments. The amounts may subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of information from the issuer.

d)  Expenses — Expenses arising in connection with a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Expenses common to all Funds may be allocated to each Fund in proportion to its relative net assets. Certain expenses are shared with the First Eagle Variable Funds, an affiliated fund group. Such costs are generally allocated using the ratio of the Fund's average daily net assets relative to the total average daily net assets of the First Eagle Variable Funds. Earnings credits may reduce shareholder servicing agent fees by the amount of interest earned on balances with such service provider.

e)  Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The market values of securities which are not traded in U.S. currency are recorded in the financial statements after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rates at the end of the period. The costs of such securities are translated at exchange rates prevailing when acquired. Related interest, dividends and withholding taxes are accrued at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The net assets of each of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period. The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are

First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2018
156

Notes to Financial Statements

included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations. However, for federal income tax purposes each Fund does isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the changes in market prices for realized gains and losses on debt obligations.

f)  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — In connection with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign currencies, each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies. The Funds' currency transactions include portfolio hedging on portfolio positions. Portfolio hedging is the use of a forward foreign currency exchange contract (or other cash management position) with respect to one or more portfolio security positions denominated or quoted in a particular currency. Currency exchange transactions involve currencies of different countries that the Funds invest in and serve as hedges against possible variations in the exchange rates between these currencies and the U.S. dollar. Each Fund may engage in portfolio hedging with respect to the currency of a particular country in amounts approximating actual or anticipated positions in securities denominated in that currency. Hedging can reduce exposure to currency exchange movements, but cannot eliminate that exposure. It is possible to lose money under a hedge.

Funds investing in forward foreign currency exchange contracts are exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Fund is unable to enter into a closing position. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund's portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the average monthly outstanding currency purchased or sold in U.S. dollars for forward foreign currency exchange contracts held by the Funds were as follows:

	First Eagle Global Fund		First Eagle Overseas Fund		First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund		First Eagle High Yield Fund
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:
Average Settlement Value — Purchased	$	157,325,346	$	60,384,371	$	1,727,860	$	763,650
Average Settlement Value — Sold		2,650,907,419		1,482,841,999		60,278,372		771,357

The Funds adopted provisions surrounding disclosures of derivative instruments and hedging activities which require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about currency-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

Notes to Financial Statements

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that may help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter ("OTC") derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds may be required to post or receive collateral in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies. Daily movement of cash collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Collateral received by the Funds is held in a segregated account at the Funds' custodian bank. These amounts are not reflected on the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are disclosed in the table below. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Asset and Liabilities.

At October 31, 2018, the Funds had the following forward foreign currency exchange contracts grouped into appropriate risk categories illustrated below:

g)  Options — In order to seek to produce incremental earnings or protect against declines in the value of portfolio securities, each Fund may write covered call options on portfolio securities. The Funds may also use options for speculative purposes, although they generally do not employ options for this purpose.

Options contracts are valued daily based upon the official closing price on the relevant exchange on which the option is traded. If there is no official closing price, the mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on the sale of a written call option are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. When a written option expires, the Funds will realize a gain equal to the amount of the premium received. When the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, the Funds will realize a gain (or loss, if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and the liability related to such option is eliminated.

The Funds may be required to segregate or earmark assets to cover its obligations under option contracts. In general, a call option is covered if the Funds hold, on a share-for-share basis, either the underlying shares or a call on the same security as the call written where the exercise price of the call held is equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written (or greater than the exercise price of the call written if the difference is maintained by the Funds in cash, Treasury bills or other high grade short-term obligations earmarked with its custodian). One

Notes to Financial Statements

reason for writing options is to attempt to realize, through the receipt of premiums, a greater return than would be realized on the securities alone. Another reason for writing options is to hedge against a moderate decline in the value of securities owned by the Funds in the case of a call option. If an increase occurs in the underlying security or stock index sufficient to result in the exercise of a call written by the Funds, it may be required to deliver securities or cash and may thereby forego some or all of the gain that otherwise may have been realized on the securities underlying the call option. This "opportunity cost" may be partially or wholly offset by the premium received for the covered call written by the Funds. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

The Funds may also write over-the-counter options where the completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of the counterparty.

As of October 31, 2018 for First Eagle Fund of America, portfolio securities valued at $230,973,125 were earmarked to cover collateral requirements for written options.

For the year ended October 31, 2018 for First Eagle Fund of America, the average monthly outstanding contract amount for written options and purchased options totaled 66,240 and 16,686 respectively.

At October 31, 2018, the First Eagle Fund of America had the following options grouped into appropriate risk categories illustrated below:

Notes to Financial Statements

h)  Repurchase agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that meet the Adviser's credit guidelines. Each repurchase agreement is valued at market. The Funds require that the collateral received in a repurchase agreement transaction be transferred to a custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the Funds to obtain collateral in the event of a counterparty default. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.

i)  Bank Loans — A Fund may invest in bank loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. Loan participations and assignments are agreements to make money available to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (the "Borrower") in a specified amount, at a specified rate and within a specified time. A loan is typically originated, negotiated and structured by a U.S. or foreign bank, insurance company or other financial institution (the "Agent") for a group of loan investors ("Loan Investors"). The Agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other Loan Investors in the syndicate and may hold any collateral on behalf of the Loan Investors. Such loan participations and assignments are typically senior, secured and collateralized in nature. A Fund records an investment when the Borrower withdraws money and records interest as earned. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any intermediary between the Fund and the Borrower ("Intermediate Participants"). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants becomes insolvent or enters into bankruptcy, each Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

j)  Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities — The Funds may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") which are specially structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted to keep pace with inflation. The principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward and any increase or decrease in the principal amount of TIPS will be included as interest income in the Statements of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. TIPS are subject to interest rate risk.

k)  Restricted Securities — The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

l)  United States income taxes — No provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes since it is the intention of each Fund to distribute to shareholders all taxable net investment income and net realized gains on investments, if any, within the allowable time limit, and to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to the regulated investment company. The Funds declare and pay such income and capital gains on an annual basis except for the First Eagle High Yield Fund and the First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund which declare income daily and pay monthly.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Funds adopted provisions surrounding income taxes, which require the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a "more likely than not" standard that, based on their technical merits, have a more than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination. Management of the Trust has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (the current and the prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements.

At October 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Undistributed Net Investment		Undistributed Net Realized		Net Unrealized Appreciation			Capital Loss Carryforward
	Income		Gains		(Depreciation)			Short-Term		Long-Term
First Eagle Global Fund	$	377,852,763	$	2,442,229,921	$	9,120,537,846		$	—	$	—

First Eagle Fund of America		33,684,714		231,144,429		91,828,929			—		—

The components of distributable earnings' differences between book basis and tax basis are primarily due to the treatment of passive foreign investment companies, distributions from real estate investment trusts, the treatment of forward foreign currencies contracts, investment in grantor trusts, straddle loss deferral, foreign repatriated earnings for First Eagle Global Fund and First Eagle Overseas Fund, investments in corporate reorganizations and wash sales.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after December 31, 2010, may get carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses. First Eagle Gold Fund has capital losses to carry forward prior to the Act of $7,117,310.

Late year ordinary losses incurred after December 31st and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds' next taxable year. For the year ended October 31, 2018, First Eagle Gold Fund had a late year ordinary loss deferral of $2,924,362

m)  Reclassification of capital accounts — As a result of certain differences in the computation of net investment income and net realized capital gains under federal income tax rules and regulations versus GAAP, the following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

	Undistributed Net Investment Income (loss)			Undistributed Net Realized Gains (Losses)			Capital Surplus
First Eagle Global Fund	$	(55,881,677	)	$	(130,505,657	)	$	186,387,334
First Eagle Overseas Fund		(24,395,230	)		(52,229,324	)		76,624,554
First Eagle U.S. Value Fund		(513,901	)		(20,026,606	)		20,540,507
First Eagle Gold Fund		17,645,722			(25,783,509	)		8,137,787
First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund		(1,973,055	)		1,973,055			—

First Eagle Fund of America		(298,467	)		(34,671,469	)		34,969,936

The primary permanent differences causing such reclassification include the tax treatment of currency gains and losses, dividend redesignations, distributions paid in connection with the redemption of Fund shares, investments in corporate reorganizations, investments in passive foreign investment companies, foreign repatriated earnings for First Eagle Global Fund and First Eagle Overseas Fund and differing book and tax treatment of transactions with the Subsidiary.

At the year ended October 31, 2018, the First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd., First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd., First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd. and First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd. had unrealized losses for tax purposes. The Subsidiaries' loss for the current year is not available to offset their future taxable income. The unrealized losses to be recognized for tax purposes in the future can only be utilized by the Funds to the extent of tax basis realized gains in the Subsidiaries in the same year. Given the uncertainty of their future use, tax losses have been reclassified to Capital surplus.

n)  Distribution to shareholders — Distributions to shareholders during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on ex-dividend date.

	Ordinary Income				Long Term Capital Gains

o)  Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gain or loss on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

p)  Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

q)  Redemption Fee — A redemption fee of 2% will be applied to the First Eagle Gold Fund for the sale or exchange within 60 days of the purchase of such shares.

Pursuant to a subadvisory agreement, dated December 1, 2015 ("Subadvisory Agreement") Iridian Asset Management LLC ("Iridian" or "Sub-Adviser") manages the investments of the First Eagle Fund of America. The fees paid to Iridian by the Adviser under the Subadvisory Agreement are based on a reference amount equal to 50% of the combined (i) fees received by the Adviser for advisory services on behalf of the Fund and (ii) fees received by the Fund's distributor for its shareholder liaison services on behalf of the Fund. These amounts are reduced by certain direct marketing costs borne by the Adviser in connection with the Fund and are further reduced by the amount paid by the Adviser for certain administrative expenses incurred in providing services to the Fund.

The Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses, for the First Eagle High Yield Fund and First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund, so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items) of the First Eagle High Yield Fund's Class A, Class C and Class I shares did not exceed 1.25%, 2.00% and 0.80%, respectively, and the First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund's Class A, Class C and Class I shares did not exceed 1.30%, 2.05%, and 1.05%, respectively, through December 31, 2013. These waivers are no longer in effect.

The Adviser also performs certain administrative, accounting, operations, compliance and other services on behalf of the Funds, and in accordance with its agreement with the Adviser, the Funds (except for First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund which pay the fee described in the next paragraph) reimburse the Adviser for costs (including personnel and other costs) related to those services. These reimbursements may not exceed an annual rate of 0.05% of a Fund's average daily net assets.

Pursuant to Administrative Services Agreements between each of First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund, and the Adviser, each pay the Adviser a monthly administration fee that is accrued daily at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Funds have entered into a custody agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"). The custody agreement provides for an annual fee based on the amount of assets under custody plus transaction charges. JPM serves as custodian of the Funds' portfolio securities and other assets. JPM has directly entered into sub-custodial agreements to maintain the custody of gold and silver bullion in the Funds. Under the terms of the custody agreement between the Funds and JPM, JPM maintains and deposits in separate accounts, cash, securities and other assets of the Funds. JPM is also required, upon the order of the Funds, to deliver securities held by JPM and the sub-custodian, and to make payments for securities purchased by the Funds. JPM has also entered into sub-custodian agreements with a number of foreign banks and clearing agencies, pursuant to which portfolio securities purchased outside the United States are maintained in the custody of these entities.

The Funds have also entered into an agreement for administrative services with JPM, pursuant to which JPM provides certain financial reporting and other administrative services. JPM, as the Funds' administrator, receives annual fees separate from and in addition to the fees it receives for its services as the Funds' custodian.

The deferred fees are invested in various First Eagle Funds until distribution in accordance with the Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan. As of October 31, 2018, balances to the Plan are included in the fees payable to the Trustees on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 5 — Line of Credit

On June 18, 2018, the Funds renewed a $200 million committed, unsecured line of credit ("Credit Facility") with JPM for the Funds, to be utilized for temporarily financing the purchase or sale of securities for prompt delivery in the ordinary course of business or for temporarily financing the redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Under the Credit Facility arrangement, each Fund has agreed to pay

First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2018
169

Notes to Financial Statements

an annual commitment fee on the unused balance, allocated pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the Funds. A portion of the commitment fees related to the line of credit are paid by the Funds and are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the agreements.

Note 6 — Indemnification and Investment Risk

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States due to their investments in foreign countries or regions. Such foreign investments may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities. The securities markets in many emerging-market countries are substantially smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities markets of developed countries.

The First Eagle High Yield Fund and First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund invest in high yield securities which may be subject to greater levels of interest rate, credit and liquidity risk than investment grade securities. These high yield securities may be considered speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments and may be subject to significant price fluctuations.

The Funds are subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Funds could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

The Funds enter into derivatives which may represent off-balance sheet risk. Off-balance sheet risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular investment is greater than the value of such investment as reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 7 — Redemption In-Kind Transactions

The redemption in-kind policy for all of the Funds reserves the right of the Funds to pay redemptions in-kind (i.e., payments in the form of marketable securities or, as needed, other traded assets, rather than cash) if the redemption request is large enough to affect a Fund's operations (for example, if it represents more than $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's assets). When receiving assets distributed in-kind, the recipient will bear applicable commissions or other costs on their sale. There were no redemptions in-kind during the year ended October 31, 2018.

Note 8 — New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released its Final Rules on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the "Rules"). The Rules which introduce two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies—Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN—also contain amendments to Regulation S-X which require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The Regulation S-X amendments had a compliance date of August 1, 2017, and are reflected in these financial statements. The Funds' compliance date for Form N-PORT was June 1, 2018, but the Funds will not be required to make their initial filing on Form N-PORT until the period ending March 31, 2019. The Funds' compliance date for Form N-CEN was June 1, 2018, and the Funds will make their initial filing on Form N-CEN for the period ending October 31, 2018. The adoption will have no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The new rule amends certain disclosure requirements that the SEC determined to be redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds' financial statements in the current period. The adoption had no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations.

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements ("ASU 2018-13"). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Funds have elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 and the amendments are reflected in the current year financial statements. The adoption had no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations.

Note 9 — Subsequent Events

In accordance with the provision surrounding Subsequent Events adopted by the Funds, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Funds' financial statements. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosures in the Funds' financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees of First Eagle Funds and Shareholders of First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Gold Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund, First Eagle High Yield Fund, and First Eagle Fund of America

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Gold Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund, First Eagle High Yield Fund and First Eagle Fund of America (constituting the First Eagle Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below titled "Based on Hypothetical Total Return" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the First Eagle Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2018 and held for the six-months ended October 31, 2018.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or back-end sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Considerations for Continuation of Advisory Agreements

At a meeting held on June 7 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of the independent trustees (the "Independent Trustees"), approved the continuation of the Funds' advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements").

In response to a letter on behalf of the Independent Trustees requesting information about the Advisory Agreements and other arrangements and plans, the Board had received various background materials. The Board also had the benefit of presentations and discussions with management throughout the year.

Prior to approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their independent counsel to discuss management's responses to their information request and reviewed their legal and fiduciary obligations and the factors relating to their evaluation and approval. In their deliberations, Trustees attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. At the conclusion of their review the Trustees determined that the advisory fees were fair and reasonable and within the range of what could be negotiated at arm's length, and that the continuance of the agreements should serve the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees considered the following topics in reaching their conclusion to continue the agreements:

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Provided by Adviser

•  The Trustees reviewed the services provided and to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds. The Adviser (together with Iridian in the case of First Eagle Fund of America) provides the Funds with investment research, advice and supervision and continuously furnishes an investment portfolio for the Funds consistent with the Funds' investment objectives, policies and restrictions as set forth in the Funds' Prospectuses. The Trustees were assured that service levels for Funds subject to fee waivers or breakpoints do not change as a result of those waivers or breakpoints.

•  The Trustees reviewed each Fund's long-standing historical relationship with the Adviser (together with Iridian in the case of First Eagle Fund of America) and the organizational resources available to the Funds under that relationship. The Trustees noted the background and experience of the Funds' Portfolio Managers and the quality of the Trustees' frequent meetings with them both individually and as a group throughout the year.

Investment Performance of Fund and Adviser

•  The Trustees reviewed the performance of each Fund on both an absolute and a relative basis over 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. Performance for the Funds over these various periods was noted relative to the Funds' benchmarks, to Morningstar and Lipper Category

Board Considerations for Continuation of Advisory Agreements

averages (referred to as the composites below) and to a custom group of peer mutual funds. The comparative review reflected research and benchmarking by an independent data provider. Performance results generally were as follows (all periods ended as of March 31, 2018):

º  First Eagle Global Fund: Outperformed composites and peer group median over the trailing 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; outperformed benchmark over the trailing 10-year period. Lagged composites, benchmark and peer group median over the trailing 1-year period; lagged benchmark over the trailing 3- and 5-year periods.

º  First Eagle Overseas Fund: Outperformed composites, benchmark and peer group median over the trailing 10-year period. Lagged composites, benchmark and peer group median over the trailing 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods.

º  First Eagle U.S. Value Fund: Lagged composites, benchmark and peer group median over all periods (trailing 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year). No instances of outperformance reported.

º  First Eagle Gold Fund: Outperformed composites, benchmark and peer group median over the trailing 5- and 10-year periods; outperformed peer group median and one of the two composites over the trailing 1-year period. Lagged composites, benchmark and peer group median over the trailing 3-year period; lagged benchmark and one of the two composites over the trailing 1-year period.

º  First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund: Outperformed composites, one of the two benchmarks and peer group median over the trailing 3-year period; outperformed two of the three composites and one of the two benchmarks over the trailing 5-year period; outperformed one of the three composites and one of the two benchmarks over the trailing 1-year period. Lagged two of the three composites, one of the two benchmarks and peer group median over the trailing 1-year period; lagged one of the three composites, one of the two benchmarks and peer group median over the trailing 5-year period; lagged one of the two benchmarks over the trailing 3-year period.

º  First Eagle High Yield Fund: Outperformed composites, benchmark and peer group median for 1- and 10-year periods; outperformed composites for the trailing 3-year period; outperformed one of the two composites for the 5-year period. Lagged one of the two composites, benchmark and peer group median for the 5-year period; lagged benchmark and peer group median for the 3-year period.

º  First Eagle Fund of America: Lagged composites, benchmark and peer group median over all periods (trailing 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year). No instances of outperformance reported.

The Trustees noted (and management discussed) the generally less favorable near-term relative performance results for all but two Funds (First Eagle Gold Fund showed mixed near-term relative results and First Eagle High Yield Fund showed stronger near-term relative results). The Trustees also noted (and management discussed) that First Eagle U.S. Value Fund and First Eagle Fund of America lagged against all metrics selected across all periods. Contributors to lagging results (both with and without the impact of higher than median cash positions) were discussed. Gains on an absolute basis over the prior year were noted for all Funds except First Eagle Gold Fund.

Board Considerations for Continuation of Advisory Agreements

•  Performance for each Fund was determined to be adequate given benchmarks, peer comparisons and on an absolute basis, and reflective of each Fund's investment objective and philosophy.

•  The Trustees commented on the Funds' holdings of cash and, in some cases, gold positions, and noted that cash and gold are important elements of the Adviser's investment philosophy.

Costs of Services To Be Provided and Profits To Be Realized by Adviser and its Affiliates From Relationship with Funds; Economies of Scale; Fall-Out Benefits

•  The Trustees reviewed the total compensation received by the Adviser and the Funds' total costs for using the Adviser's services, taking into account expenses incurred by the Adviser that are passed through to the Funds (e.g., under the administrative cost reimbursement program applicable to certain Funds). They concluded that this compensation was generally commensurate with the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided and therefore fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and referred to their prior discussion on performance of each Fund, including a review of performance against each Fund's respective composites, benchmark and peer group. As part of their analysis, the Trustees considered fees charged by investment advisers to peer mutual funds for services comparable to those provided by the Adviser and referred to a report specifically prepared by an independent third-party data provider in connection with the Trustees' review of the agreements, together with a management summary of the same. In doing so, they considered fees charged by investment advisers to peer mutual funds and determined that the Adviser's fees were competitive, with the net management fees for some Funds being higher and for some Funds being lower than their peer averages/medians, but all being within the range of peers. The Trustees noted the "breakpoints" providing for potential reductions in the First Eagle Fund of America management fee over time. The Trustees considered fee waivers in effect for First Eagle U.S. Value Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund (with a more favorable waiver also being implemented for First Eagle High Yield Fund). The Trustees also considered, where applicable, the advisory fees charged to other clients of the Adviser (or of Iridian in the case of First Eagle Fund of America) with similar investment objective(s) to a Fund and received information that for some Funds, the fees charged to these other clients were higher or lower relative to the respective Fund. The Trustees were apprised that for some of these other accounts there are different styles and categories of services provided, which may be reflected in lower fees charged relative to the respective Fund.

•  While analyzing the effects of direct and indirect compensation to the Adviser and its affiliates, such as soft dollar and other service benefits, the Trustees considered the levels of soft dollars, the absence of affiliated broker-dealer relationships and the effects of the administrative service fees and reimbursements paid to the Adviser. The Trustees noted that (except for First Eagle Fund of America) the Adviser generally is seeking to absorb soft dollar costs and pay them itself, with this change in approach effective January 1, 2018. With regard to other possible benefits associated with the Adviser's management of the Funds, the Trustees noted,

Board Considerations for Continuation of Advisory Agreements

among other things, that the Distributor is generally able to retain Rule 12b-1 fees on shareholders it services directly and that the Adviser may be able to extend investment and operational efficiencies associated with the Funds to its management of other types of accounts.

•  The Trustees reviewed the Funds' expense ratios, which were deemed reasonable both on an absolute basis and in comparison to peer funds. The Trustees again noted the scheduled "breakpoints" for the First Eagle Fund of America management fee and the fee waivers for First Eagle U.S. Value Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund. The Trustees noted the impact on expense ratios of the administrative fees or reimbursements paid to or charged by the Adviser, as the case may be.

•  The Trustees also noted that the Adviser is able to employ economies of scale in certain areas relating to the management of the Fund, such as investment management, trading, compliance and back-office operations. The Trustees discussed the impact of the advisory fee on the ratio of total expenses to net assets and noted that the Funds' expense ratios generally had decreased over time as the Funds grew, highlighting a benefit to shareholders resulting from the development of economies of scale in the operation of the Funds. The Trustees noted that expense ratios for all of the Funds had decreased relative to the prior year and reviewed the causes of those decreases. For each Fund, the principal contributing factor for this decrease was an increase in average net assets over the prior year and/or a decrease in transfer agency fees. The Trustees also considered the effect of Fund asset size on particular categories of expenses, both currently and relative to prior periods.

•  The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's financial condition and profitability. They noted that profits appear strong across most of the Funds, although not excessive and generally commensurate with the Funds' investment performance and other service indicia, based on the information provided at the meeting. The Trustees noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry and related importance of profitability in maintaining the Adviser's culture and management continuity. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has always shown the willingness to commit resources to support investment in the business and to maintain the generally high quality of the overall shareholder experience in the Funds, such as attracting and retaining qualified personnel and investing in technology. The Trustees reviewed the level of personal investment maintained in the Funds by certain portfolio managers (with those investments being both direct and "notional" under the Adviser's compensation plans), which was viewed as evidence of commitment to the organization by key personnel. The Trustees also considered that certain personnel participate in equity ownership and other incentives tied to the financial results of the Adviser as a whole.

Board Considerations for Continuation of Subadvisory Agreement

At a meeting held on June 7 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the First Eagle Fund of America Subadvisory Agreement.

In response to a letter on behalf of the Independent Trustees requesting information about the Subadvisory Agreement and other arrangements and plans, the Board had received various background materials. The Board also had the benefit of presentations and discussions with management of the Adviser and Subadviser throughout the year.

Prior to approving the continuation of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their independent counsel to discuss management's responses to a letter sent by the Independent Trustees requesting certain information relevant to the agreement and reviewed their legal and fiduciary obligations and the factors relating to their evaluation and approval. In their deliberations, Trustees attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. At the conclusion of their review the Trustees determined that the subadvisory fee was fair and reasonable and within the range of what could be negotiated at arm's length, and that the approval of the agreement should serve the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The Trustees considered information and views substantially similar to those described above relating to the Advisory Agreement for First Eagle Fund of America. Additionally, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of services provided and to be provided under the Subadvisory Agreement (and corresponding services provided by the Adviser). The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined, among other things, that the size and nature of the Subadviser's staff as it relates to First Eagle Fund of America, and the nature and quality of advisory services provided by the Subadviser, are satisfactory and appropriate. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the Subadviser, although it did consider the profitability of the Adviser in respect of First Eagle Fund of America, as the Subadviser's advisory fees are paid by the Adviser.
