Letter from the President

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Financial market sentiment fluctuated significantly over the 12 months covered by this report, as investors sought to discern the path of global monetary policy while also processing the potential impacts of a range of exogenous shocks, from wars and other geopolitical tensions to bank failures and threats of government shutdowns in the US. Despite these potential headwinds, risk assets generally moved higher over the past year, even if much of the heavy lifting at the index level was done by a small cohort of very large tech-oriented companies tapping into secular growth trends like artificial intelligence.
We have seen indicators of slowing in many Asian and European economies, but the U.S. economy continues to be strong 18 months into a rate-hike cycle that brought the Federal Reserve's policy rate from zero to an upper bound of 5.5%. Such persistence is not guaranteed, however, and it seems likely that conditions will become more challenging as the aggregate impacts of policy tightening mount. And though Fed rhetoric suggests the central bank is still hopeful for a "soft landing," the prospects of such an outcome do not necessarily appear more certain now than they have at any other point since the Fed began squeezing liquidity from the system. Inflation has eased considerably, but it remains above the Fed's target—and the last mile may be the hardest mile. Energy costs, housing prices and tight labor markets are all fighting against the Fed, and it's unclear what it will take to tame them. It may be a bumpy ride from here to the terminal rate.1
Perhaps more concerning, however, is the massive amount of sovereign debt outstanding. It's been our observation that the accumulation of debt in certain pockets of the economy has often served as fertile breeding ground for crises, and we believe sovereign debt is at the epicenter of indebtedness today. We believe fiscal policy has been on an unsustainable trajectory since the global financial crisis, not just in the US but across advanced economies, as governments provided extensive support in response to two large-scale economic dislocations. This federal largesse was supported by very low interest rates that kept interest expenses manageable and by long-lived, large-scale quantitative easing programs that provided ample demand to absorb government debt issuance.
While the ongoing rollback of crisis-era monetary accommodation continues to alter the calculus of government borrowing, indications that near-term fiscal policy will be adjusted to reflect the new math are limited. There are signs that investors have slowly begun demanding greater premia for exposure to government debt, and a meaningful rerating of this risk could have significant and far-reaching impacts.

Recognizing that the true state of uncertainty is well beyond what one can measure statistically at any given point in time, First Eagle has maintained the distinction between backward-looking quantifiable risks, which can be modeled and thus managed, and the true unknown "risk" of investing. We will continue to look for opportunities where we can find them, but we remain on our guard. Across market cycles, macroeconomic conditions and disruptive events, we remain focused on our goal of delivering long-term shareholder value while avoiding the permanent impairment of your capital.
As always, I want to thank you for entrusting your assets to our stewardship.
Sincerely,

Mehdi Mahmud,
President

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Global Equities
Equity-oriented funds managed by the Global Value team, listed below, delivered positive absolute returns in the 12-month period covered in this report, though bias toward growth stocks relative to value stocks in many equity markets served as a headwind to relative performance. Gold and gold-related equities, which many of our funds hold as a potential hedge against extreme risk and market turbulence, played their part effectively despite the rise in real interest rates. We are hopeful that the move toward a more normal policy environment in which money again has a cost may promote the effective allocation of capital across the economy and performance more in line with historical norms. At the same time, we are cognizant of the many persistent vulnerabilities in global financial and political structures. As always, we continue to seek resilience in our funds from the bottom up, searching for cash-flow-generative companies with strong market positions, healthy balance sheets and prudent management teams, and buying these stocks only when available at a discount to our estimate of their intrinsic value.2

higher cost of capital—leading the way. While it seems logical that a persistently high cost of capital would have a negative impact on the less financially sound companies, we've yet to see evidence in leveraged credit performance. In such an environment, we believe it is wise to focus on seeking to minimize downside risk through shorter-duration, higher-quality, more-liquid issues from companies that we believe have the pricing power to pass along rising input prices. We are comfortable being highly selective, allocating capital countercyclically as spread widening presents idiosyncratic opportunities.

U.S. Small Cap Equities
Historically, smaller companies have led market rebounds, but these stocks have been unable to shake the negative sentiment associated with March's banking turmoil. While the funds managed by the Small Cap team lost ground over the past 12 months as a result, they were able to deliver relative outperformance. Conditions likely will become more challenging as the accumulated impacts of policy tightening continue to reverberate—especially for those smaller businesses with more limited financing options—but our experience has been that such environments often provide us with potential attractive opportunities to move into stocks we consider undervalued relative to their fundamentals. As always, we remain focused on finding what we consider are the best stocks while controlling the one variable that we can—the price we pay for each stock.

expenses of Classes A, I and R6 so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) ("annual operating expenses") of each class are limited to 1.20%, 0.95% and 0.95% of average net assets, respectively.

These expense ratios are presented as of March 1, 2023 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).
There are risks associated with investing in funds that invest in securities of foreign companies, 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 and liquidity 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. Markets may be volatile, and prices of individual securities and other investments including those of a particular type, may decline significantly and rapidly. 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. Recent market conditions and events, including a global public health crisis, wars and armed conflicts and actions taken by governments in response, may exacerbate volatility and may continue to negatively affect the price and liquidity of individual securities, national economies and global markets generally. Prices of individual securities and other investments, including those of a particular type, may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Rapid changes in value or liquidity, which often are not anticipated and can relate to events not connected to particular investments, may limit the ability of a Fund to dispose of its assets at the price or time of its choosing and can result in losses. Changes in price may be temporary or may last for extended periods. If a Fund sells a portfolio position before it reaches its market peak, it may miss out on opportunities for better performance.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantines and restrictions resulted in high unemployment, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, and general concern and uncertainty, with corresponding impacts on financial markets worldwide. COVID-19 remains a risk with the potential that new variants could lead to increased government restrictions and consumer caution. Additionally,

COVID-19 remains a challenge for global supply chain normalization. More recently, a number of major economies, including the United States, are adjusting to reduced levels of market and monetary support following periods of fiscal and monetary interventions, together with rising inflation and increases in interest rate targets by central banks. These circumstances have generated significant market stress and volatility, with market sentiment changing rapidly in response to changes in inflation or interest rate expectations.
To the extent a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region. For example, political and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country could significantly affect the market in that country and in surrounding or related countries and have a negative impact on a Fund's performance. Currency developments or restrictions, political and social instability, and changing economic conditions have resulted in significant market volatility. As of the date of this Annual Report, First Eagle Global Fund has significant exposure to Europe and Japan; the Overseas Fund has significant exposure to Canada, Europe and Japan; the Gold Fund has significant exposure to Brazil and Canada; the Global Income Builder Fund has significant exposure to Europe; and the Real Assets Fund has significant exposure to Canada. A Fund's exposure to a particular county is determined in accordance with the Adviser's "country of risk" assessment. "Country of risk" is based on a multi-factor country of risk assessment determined by the Adviser, including factors such as an issuer's country of domicile, and the country of the stock exchange on which it trades, among others.
Canada is a significant exporter of natural resources, such as oil, natural gas and agricultural products. As a result, the Canadian economy is susceptible to adverse changes in certain commodities markets. It is also heavily dependent on trading with key partners, including the United States, Mexico, and China. Any reduction in trading with these key partners may adversely affect the Canadian economy. Canada's dependency on the economy of the United States, in particular, makes Canada's economy vulnerable to political and regulatory changes affecting the United States economy. These and other factors could negatively affect a Fund's performance.
A Fund's investments may subject it to the risks associated with investing in the European markets, including the risks associated with the United Kingdom's ("UK") exit from the European Union ("Brexit"). Investments in a single region, even though representing a number of different countries within the region, may be affected by common economic forces and other factors. Further, political or economic disruptions in European countries, even in countries in which a Fund is not invested, may adversely affect security values and thus a Fund's holdings.
The Japanese economy is heavily dependent upon international trade and may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability, which could negatively affect a Fund. Japan has also experienced natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tidal waves, of varying degrees of severity, which also could negatively affect a Fund.
Investment in Brazilian issuers involves risks that are specific to Brazil, including legal, regulatory, political (including, instability and corruption), currency and economic risks. Brazilian issuers are subject to possible regulatory and economic interventions by the Brazilian government, including the imposition of wage and price controls and the limitation of imports. In addition, the market for Brazilian securities is directly influenced by the flow of international capital and economic and market conditions of certain countries, especially other emerging market countries in Central and South America. The Brazilian economy has historically been exposed to high rates of inflation and unemployment, a high level of debt and violence, each of which may reduce and/or prevent economic growth. Political tensions in Brazil may exacerbate these risks.
The value of a Fund's portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to the risk that the prices of equity securities, including common stock, rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than debt securities.
By investing in its Subsidiary, each of the First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Gold Fund and First Eagle Global Real Assets Fund is indirectly
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2023
25
Performance Chart1 (unaudited)
exposed to the risks associated with that Subsidiary's investments. The Subsidiaries are not registered under the 1940 Act and are not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of a Fund and/or a Subsidiary to operate as expected and could adversely affect the Fund.
In addition to investments in larger companies, each Fund may (and the First Eagle Small Cap Opportunity Fund and First Eagle U.S. Smid Cap Opportunity Fund generally will) 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 a 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. Each Fund (except the First Eagle Small Cap Opportunity Fund and First Eagle U.S. Smid Cap Opportunity Fund) considers 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. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. The First Eagle Small Cap Opportunity Fund considers small companies to be companies with market capitalizations not greater than that of the largest company in the Russell 2000® Index at the time of investment. The First Eagle U.S. Smid Cap Opportunity Fund considers small and medium companies to be companies with market capitalizations not greater than that of the largest company in the Russell 2500TM Index at the time of investment. Larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
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 including specific changes in U.S. and 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.
If one or more investors in a Fund initiate significant redemptions, it may be necessary to dispose of assets to meet the redemption request. This can make ordinary portfolio management and rebalancing decisions more complicated to implement and can result in a Fund's current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, which generally results in an increase in a Fund's expense ratio. The impact of these transactions is likely to be greater in highly volatile markets or less liquid markets when a significant investor purchases, redeems or owns a substantial portion of a Fund's shares.
First Eagle High Income and First Eagle Global Income Builder Funds will invest in high yield instruments (commonly known as "high yield" or "junk" bonds) which may be subject to greater levels of interest rate, credit (including issuer default) and liquidity risk than investment grade securities 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.
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2023

Performance Chart1 (unaudited)
First Eagle High Income and First Eagle 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. A 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 a 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. A debt instrument's "duration" is a way of measuring a debt instrument's sensitivity to a potential change in interest rates. Longer duration instruments tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter durations. Generally, debt instruments with long maturities and low coupons have the longest durations. Recent market conditions and events, including a global public health crisis and actions taken by governments in response, may exacerbate the risk that borrowers will not be able to make payments of interest and principal when due. In addition, there is risk of significant future rate moves and related economic and markets impact.
Income generation and dividends are not guaranteed. If dividend paying stocks in a Fund's portfolio stop paying or reduce dividends, a Fund's ability to generate income will be adversely affected.
First Eagle Global Real Assets Fund will invest in companies operating in various industries related to real assets. To the extent there is a downturn in one or more of these industries, there would be a larger impact on the Fund than if the Fund's portfolio were more broadly diversified. Factors that may affect these industries include, but are not limited to, government regulation or deregulation, energy conservation and supply/demand, raw material prices, commodities regulation, cost of transport, cost of labor, interest rates, and broad economic developments such as growth or contraction in different markets, currency valuation changes and central bank movements.
An investment strategy that employs a "value" approach may pose a risk to a Fund that such investment strategy may not be successfully achieved. In any Fund, 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. "Value" investments, as a category, or entire industries or sectors associated with such investments, may lose favor with investors as compared to those that are more "growth" oriented. In such an event, a Fund's investment returns would be expected to lag relative to returns associated with more growth-oriented strategies.
All investments involve the risk of loss.
