The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
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"), First Eagle Gold Fund (the "Gold Fund") and First Eagle Global Real Assets Fund (the "Global Real Assets 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., First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd., and First Eagle Global Real Assets 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.

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.
A portfolio security (including an option or warrant), 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 quoted 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 available are generally priced at the evaluated bid price provided by an approved pricing service as of the close of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), 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. The Adviser's Valuation Committee, at least annually, will review the pricing service's inputs, methods, models and assumptions for its evaluated prices. Short-term debt maturing in 60 days or less is 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.
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, as provided by an independent pricing source.
The spot exchange rates, as provided by an independent price source as of the close of the NYSE, 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. When market prices are determined to be "stale" as a result of limited market activity for a particular holding or have been materially affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded but before the Fund's NAV is calculated, or in other circumstances when market quotations are not readily available within the meaning of applicable regulations, such as for private placements, or determined to be unreliable for a particular holding, such holdings may be "fair

valued" in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees ("Board") . The values assigned to a Fund's holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values.
Additionally, trading of foreign equity securities on most foreign markets is completed before the close in trading in the U.S. markets. The Funds have implemented fair value pricing on a daily basis for all foreign securities, as available, to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE. The fair value pricing utilizes factors provided by an independent pricing service. 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.
Fair valuation of securities, other financial investments or other assets (collectively, "securities") held by the Funds are determined in good faith by the

Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Board. The Board Valuation, Liquidity and Allocations Committee (the "Committee") oversees the execution of the valuation and liquidity procedures for the Funds. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Funds' Board has designated the Adviser the "valuation designee" to perform the Fund's fair value determinations. The Adviser's fair valuation process is subject to Board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements.
The following is a summary of the Funds' inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of October 31, 2024. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the fund has a material amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the period in relation to the Fund's net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation as the balance of Level 3 investments were not considered to be material to each Fund's net assets at the beginning or end of the period.

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, except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. The Funds may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which a Fund invests. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign taxes are accrued based on gains realized by a Fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. 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, and certain other funds also managed by the Adviser. Generally, expenses that do not pertain specifically to a Fund are allocated to each Fund based upon the percentage of net assets a Fund bears to the total net assets of all the Funds that share the expense. 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

Notes to Financial Statements
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 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 and First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts primarily to man- age 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, 2024, 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:

Notes to Financial Statements
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.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that may help the Funds mitigate counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a 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 Funds 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 a 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 Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Asset and Liabilities.

g) Tender Option Bonds — Inverse floating rate interests ("Inverse Floaters") are issued in connection with municipal tender option bond ("TOB") financing transactions (secured borrowing) to generate leverage for a Fund. Such instruments are created by a special purpose trust (a "TOB Trust") that holds long-term fixed rate bonds sold to it by a Fund (the underlying security), and issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests ("Floaters"), which are sold to other investors, and Inverse Floaters, which are purchased by the Fund. A Fund also may (and the High Yield Municipal Fund and Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund generally will) purchase Floaters issued by a TOB Trust. The Floaters have first priority on the cash flow from the
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024
241
Notes to Financial Statements
underlying security held by the TOB Trust, have a tender option feature that allows holders to tender the Floaters back to the TOB Trust for their par amount and accrued interest at specified intervals and bear interest at prevailing short-term interest rates. Tendered Floaters are remarketed for sale to other investors for their par amount and accrued interest by a remarketing agent to the TOB Trust and are ultimately supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank, upon which the TOB Trust can draw funds to pay such amount to holders of Tendered Floaters that cannot be remarketed. A Fund, as holder of the Inverse Floaters, is paid the residual cash flow from the underlying security. Accordingly, the Inverse Floaters provide a Fund with leveraged exposure to the underlying security. When short-term interest rates rise or fall, the interest payable on the Floaters issued by a TOB Trust will, respectively, rise or fall, leaving less or more, respectively, residual interest cash flow from the underlying security available for payment on the Inverse Floaters. Thus, as short-term interest rates rise, Inverse Floaters produce less income for a Fund, and as short-term interest rates decline, Inverse Floaters produce more income for the Fund. The price of Inverse Floaters is expected to decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates decline, in either case generally more so than the price of a bond with a similar maturity, because of the effect of leverage. As a result, the price of Inverse Floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities, especially if the relevant TOB Trust is structured to provide the holder of the Inverse Floaters relatively greater leveraged exposure to the underlying security (e.g., if the par amount of the Floaters, as a percentage of the par amount of the underlying security, is relatively greater). Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events (including a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying security or a substantial decrease in the market value of the underlying security), a TOB Trust may be collapsed by the remarketing agent or liquidity provider and the underlying security liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the Inverse Floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the shortfall, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the principal amount of the Floaters. Consequently, in a rising interest rate environment, the Fund's investments in Inverse Floaters could negatively impact the Fund's performance and yield, especially when those Inverse Floaters provide the Fund with relatively greater leveraged exposure to the underlying securities held by the relevant TOB Trusts.
A Fund may invest in Inverse Floaters on a non-recourse or recourse basis. If a Fund invests in an Inverse Floater on a recourse basis, the Fund will be required to reimburse the liquidity provider of a TOB Trust for any shortfall between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the principal amount of the Floaters in the event the Floaters cannot be successfully remarketed and the Fund could suffer losses in excess of the amount of its investment in the Inverse Floater.
The Underlying Bond deposited into the TOB Trust is identified in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments as "(g) All or portion of principal amount transferred to

Notes to Financial Statements
a Tender Option Bond ("TOB") Issuer in exchange for TOB Residuals and cash." with the Fund recognizing as liabilities, labeled "Payable for Floating Rate Note Obligation" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, (a) the liquidation value of Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, and (b) the amount of any borrowings by the TOB Trust from a Liquidity Provider to enable the TOB Trust to purchase outstanding Floaters in lieu of a remarketing. In addition, the Fund recognizes in "Investment Income" the entire earnings of the Underlying Bond, and recognizes (a) the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or on the TOB Trust's borrowings, and (b) other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust, as a component of "Interest expense" on the Statement of Operations. Earnings due from the Underlying Bond and interest due to the holders of the Floaters as of the end of the reporting period are recognized as components of "Accrued interest and dividends receivable" and "Interest expense and fees payable" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, respectively.
As of October 31, 2024, the aggregrate value of Floaters issued by the Fund's TOB Trusts were as follows:
| | Floating Rate Obligations: | |
First Eagle High Yield Municipal Fund | | $ | 326,775,000 | | |
For period ended October 31, 2024, the average amount of Floaters outstanding (beginning September 12, 2024, when the Fund began investing in TOB transactions), and the average annual interest rates and fees related to Inverse Floaters (starting from October 1, 2024, when the Fund 's first TOB settled), were as follows:
| | Average Floating Rate Obligations Outstanding | | Average Annual Interest Rate and Fees | |
First Eagle High Yield Municipal Fund | | $ | 93,791,700 | | | | 3.69 | % | |
h) 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.
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024

Notes to Financial Statements
In general, a call option is covered if a Fund holds, 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 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 a Fund 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 a Fund, 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 a Fund. The risk in writing a covered call option is that a Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. A Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
A Fund may also write over-the-counter options where the completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of the counterparty.
Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act permits the Funds to enter into Derivatives Transactions (as defined below) and certain other transactions notwithstanding the restrictions on the issuance of "senior securities" under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Section 18 of the 1940 Act, among other things, prohibits open-end funds, including the Funds, from issuing or selling any "senior security," other than borrowing from a bank (subject to a requirement to maintain 300% "asset coverage").
Under Rule 18f-4, "Derivatives Transactions" include the following: (1) any swap, security-based swap (including a contract for differences), futures contract, forward contract, option (excluding purchased options), any combination of the foregoing, or any similar instrument, under which a Fund is or may be required to make any payment or delivery of cash or other assets during the life of the instrument or at maturity or early termination, whether as margin or settlement payment or otherwise; (2) any short sale borrowing; (3) reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions (e.g., recourse and nonrecourse tender option bonds, and borrowed bonds), if a Fund elects to treat these transactions as Derivatives Transactions under Rule 18f-4; and (4) when issued or forward-settling securities (e.g., firm and standby commitments, including to-be-announced ("TBA") commitments, and dollar rolls) and nonstandard settlement cycle securities, unless a Fund intends to physically settle the transaction and the transaction will settle within 35 days of its trade date.
Unless a fund is relying on the Limited Derivatives User Exception (as defined below), a fund must comply with Rule 18f-4 with respect to its Derivatives

Notes to Financial Statements
Transactions. Rule 18f-4, among other things, requires a fund to adopt and implement a comprehensive written derivatives risk management program ("DRMP") and comply with a relative or absolute limit on fund leverage risk calculated based on value-at-risk ("VaR"). The DRMP is administered by a "derivatives risk manager," who is appointed by the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, and periodically reviews the DRMP and reports to the Board.
Rule 18f-4 provides an exception from the DRMP, VaR limit and certain other requirements if the Fund's "derivatives exposure" (as defined in Rule 18f-4) is limited to 10% of its net assets (as calculated in accordance with Rule 18f-4) and the Fund adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage its derivatives risks (the "Limited Derivatives User Exception"). As of the date hereof, each Fund is relying on the Limited Derivatives User Exception.
As of October 31, 2024, portfolio securities valued at $165,711,884 were earmarked to cover collateral requirements for written options for First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements
i) 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.
j) 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. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, a Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any intermediary between a 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.
k) 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. These adjustments are recorded as increases or decreases to interest income on the Statements of Operations and reflected in market value of the securities. TIPS are subject to interest rate risk.
l) 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.
m) New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in the ASU clarify that a contractual restriction
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024
246
Notes to Financial Statements
on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, should not be considered in measuring fair value. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with the option of early adoption. There is no material impact to the financial statements and related disclosures.
n) 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 Global Income Builder Fund, the First Eagle High Yield Municipal Fund, and the First Eagle Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund which declare income daily and pay monthly, and First Eagle Rising Dividend Fund which distributes income on a quarterly basis.
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, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Undistributed Tax-Exempt | | Undistributed Ordinary | | Undistributed Net Realized | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | Capital Loss Carryforward | |

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, straddle loss deferral, foreign repatriated earnings for First Eagle Overseas Fund, investment in partnerships, global intangible low-taxed income from investment in certain foreign corporations for First Eagle Overseas Fund, wash sales and amortization on certain callable bond investments for First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund, First Eagle High Yield Municipal Fund and First Eagle Short Duration High Yield Fund.
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. For the current year, the First Eagle Gold Fund utilized $80,626,187 in net capital loss carryforward.
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, 2024, none of the Funds had late year loss deferrals.
o) 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, a reclassification has been

Note 5 — Line of Credit
On June 24, 2024, the Funds renewed a $200 million committed, unsecured line of credit ("Credit Facility") with JPM for the First Eagle Funds and First Eagle Variable 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 with a termination date of June 23, 2025. Under the Credit Facility arrangement, each Fund has agreed to pay a per annum rate of interest for borrowings generally based on 1.00% plus the higher of Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a ten basis point credit spread adjustment, Overnight Bank Funding Rate or Effective Federal Funds Rate and a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. A portion of the commitment fees related to the Credit Facility are paid by the Funds and are included in other expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds had no borrowings under the agreement.
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.
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024
259
Notes to Financial Statements
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 Global Income Builder Fund, First Eagle High Yield Municipal Fund and First Eagle Short Duration High Yield Municipal 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, 2024.
Note 8 — Subsequent Events
The First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund is in the process of establishing a wholly owned subsidiary (First Eagle Global Income Builder Cayman Fund, Ltd.), which will be an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Item 11 Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
At a meeting held on June 5-6, 2024, 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"). The Advisory Agreement for First Eagle Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund was reviewed but no action was required as the agreement was still within its initial two-year term.
In response to a letter sent to the Adviser on behalf of the Independent Trustees requesting information about the Advisory Agreements and other arrangements and plans, the Trustees received extensive materials from the Adviser, including reviews of performance and expense information compared against the Funds' respective composites, benchmarks and peer groups compiled by an independent data provider. The Trustees also had the benefit of receiving presentations from and holding discussions with management throughout the year.
Prior to approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions 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 dispositive. At the conclusion of their review, the Trustees determined that the advisory fees were fair and reasonable under the circumstances and within the range of what could be negotiated at arm's length, and that the continuance of the Advisory 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 Advisory Agreements:
Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services Provided by Adviser
• The Trustees reviewed the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds. The Adviser provides the Funds with investment research, advice and supervision, and continuously furnishes an investment portfolio for each Fund consistent with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions as set forth in each Fund's Prospectus. The Trustees were assured that service levels for the Funds subject to fee waivers, breakpoints or fee reductions are not affected by the terms of the applicable fee waiver, breakpoint or fee reduction.
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024
263
• The Trustees reviewed each Fund's generally long-standing historical relationship with the Adviser and the institutional resources available to the Funds under that relationship. The Trustees, in their deliberations, recognized that, for many of the Funds' shareholders, the decision to purchase Fund shares included a decision to select the Adviser as the investment adviser and that there is a strong association in the minds of Fund shareholders between the Adviser and each of the Funds.
• The Trustees commented on 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 and in prior periods. The Trustees also appreciated new product development as a further indication of investment in the Adviser's capabilities. The Trustees noted, based on reports by senior management, that the Adviser's ownership group continues to be strongly supportive of the business and is engaged in appropriate and thoughtful strategic planning for the future.
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 (where applicable, with no performance presented for the Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund given it is recently formed, has very limited performance to review and does not have an advisory contract subject to review at this time).
• The Trustees noted that the Rising Dividend Fund changed management teams and its investment objective as of August 1, 2020, and changed its strategy as of August 1, 2020 and March 1, 2023, and that performance for prior periods was under the prior management team and prior objective and strategy.
• The Trustees also noted that the High Yield Municipal Fund changed management teams, investment objective and strategy as of December 27, 2023, and that performance for prior periods was under the prior management team and prior objective and strategy.
• Performance over these various periods was noted relative to the Funds' respective benchmarks, to the performance of peer mutual funds and to Morningstar and Lipper Category Averages (the category averages being referred to as "composites"). The comparative review reflected research and benchmarking by an independent data provider, with periods of outperformance and lagging performance generally as follows (all periods ended as of March 31, 2024):
| | Composite #1 | | Composite #2 | | Peer Group | | Benchmark | |
Global Fund | | Outperformed over all periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 3-, 5- and 10-year periods Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Matched over trailing 1-year period Outperformed all other periods shown | | Lagged all periods shown | |
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024

| | Composite #1 | | Composite #2 | | Peer Group | | Benchmark | |
Overseas Fund | | Lagged all periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 10-year period Lagged all other periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 3-year period Lagged all other periods shown | | Lagged all periods shown | |
U.S. Value Fund | | Outperformed over all periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 3-year period Lagged all other periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 3-year period Lagged all other periods shown | | Lagged all periods shown | |
Gold Fund | | Outperformed over all periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 3-, 5- and 10-year periods Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over trailing 3-, 5- and 10-year periods Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over all periods shown | |
Global Income Builder Fund | | Outperformed over trailing 3-, 5- and 10-year periods Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over trailing 3-year period Lagged all other periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 3- and 5-year periods Lagged all other periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 3-year period Lagged all other periods shown | |
High Yield Municipal Fund | | Outperformed over all periods shown | | Lagged over trailing 10-year period Outperformed all other periods shown | | Lagged over trailing 10-year period Outperformed all other periods shown | | Lagged over trailing 10-year period Outperformed all other periods shown | |
Rising Dividend Fund | | Lagged all periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period Lagged all other periods shown | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period Lagged all other periods shown | | Lagged all periods shown | |
Small Cap Opportunity Fund | | Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Lagged over trailing 1-year period | |
Global Real Assets Fund | | Lagged over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period | | Lagged over trailing 1-year period | |
Smid Cap Opportunity Fund | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period | | Outperformed over trailing 1-year period | |
• For Funds with comparatively lagging performance over longer periods, the Trustees noted that, while comparative performance review showed lagging performance relative to comparison groups and benchmarks, there have been periods of outperformance by these and other metrics in prior years. Performance for each Fund was determined to be adequate as compared to their respective benchmarks, peer comparisons and on an absolute basis, and reflective of each Fund's investment objective and philosophy.
• Memoranda provided to the Trustees with management commentary on performance was discussed. This included supplemental information showing downside risk analysis intended to support management's view that an emphasis on managing downside risk is an important consideration in assessing the performance of a number of the Funds. Certain of these Funds showed stronger downside risk protection relative to peers while others did not.
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024
265
• The Trustees commented, for the Global Value Funds, on holdings of short-term investments and, in some cases, gold positions, and noted that short-term investments and gold are important elements of the First Eagle Global Value team's investment philosophy and typically represent differentiating factors from peers for those Funds.
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 (notably under the administrative cost reimbursement program). They concluded that this compensation was 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 the 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 an independent data provider fee report, together with a management summary of the same. They 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 also considered, where applicable and available, the advisory fees charged to other clients of the Adviser 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 the Adviser's other accounts, there were operational differences and the Adviser provided different categories of services compared to the Funds (e.g., regulatory and operational structures may differ, frequency and scale of cash flows may differ, etc.), which has resulted in lower fees charged relative to certain Funds.
• Memoranda provided to the Trustees with management commentary on fees and expenses was discussed.
• While analyzing the effects of direct and indirect compensation to the Adviser and its affiliates (sometimes referred to as "fall-out benefits"), the Trustees considered 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 the Adviser is currently absorbing soft dollar costs and paying them itself. With regard to other possible benefits associated with the Adviser's management of the Funds, the Trustees noted, among other things, that the Distributor is generally able to retain revenue associated with Rule 12b-1 fees on the relatively limited amount of shareholders it services
First Eagle Funds | Annual Report | October 31, 2024
266
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 noted changes in the Funds' expense ratios over time, with some Funds showing decreases and some showing increases. In general, a contributing factor to the change in the Funds' expense ratios was an increase or decrease in the respective Fund's average net assets over the relevant period. In the case of each of High Yield Municipal Fund, Small Cap Opportunity Fund, Smid Cap Opportunity Fund, Rising Dividend Fund and Global Real Assets Fund, the Trustees considered that the Adviser contractually agreed to cover certain expenses through expense limitation agreements. The Trustees also considered the effect of Fund asset size on particular categories of expenses, both currently and relative to prior periods. The Trustees noted the impact on the Funds' expense ratios resulting from the administrative fees or reimbursements paid to or charged by the Adviser, as the case may be. While economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable, the Trustees noted that the Adviser may be able to employ economies of scale in certain areas relating to the management of the Funds, potentially including investment management, trading, compliance and back-office operations. In the case of the administrative expense reimbursements, which is the method by which the majority of the Funds "pay" for administrative services performed by the Adviser, because they represent the provision of services at cost, any economies of scale realized are, by definition, for the benefit of the Funds.
• The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's financial condition and profitability. Profits to the Adviser vary meaningfully depending on the particular Fund, with some Funds showing losses to the Adviser and others showing profits. Overall, profits were viewed as not excessive and providing appropriate incentives to the Adviser. The Trustees noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry and the related importance of profitability (when considered across the business) 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. Levels of support are not dependent on or reflective of the profits realized on a per-Fund basis. The Trustees reviewed personal investments 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 Funds by key personnel.
