FIRST EAGLE FUNDS

NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS (Unaudited)

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 five separate portfolios, First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Gold 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 and was until April 23, 2004 a Maryland corporation operating under the name First Eagle Funds, Inc. (First Eagle SoGen Funds, Inc. prior to December 31, 2002). First Eagle Fund of America, previously a portfolio of a separate Delaware statutory trust, was reorganized as a portfolio of the Trust effective December 31, 2002. The First Eagle Global Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a wide range of asset classes from markets in the United States and around 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 primarily in equities issued by U.S. corporations. The First Eagle Gold Fund’s investment objective is to provide exposure to the investment characteristics of gold and, to a limited extent, other precious metals. The First Eagle Fund of America is a U.S. equity fund with a unique event-driven bias that seeks capital appreciation.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adhered to by the Funds and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

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 investment (including an option), other than a bond, which is traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or a securities exchange abroad is normally valued at the price of the last sale on the exchange as of the close of business on the date on which assets are valued. If there are no sales on such date, such portfolio securities 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 price). 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 price), except if such unlisted security is traded on the NASDAQ in which case it is valued at its last sale price (or, if available in the case of NASDAQ securities, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”)).

Commodities (such as physical metals) are valued at the spot price at the time trading on the New York Stock Exchange closes (normally 4:00 pm E.S.T). Forward currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering or offsetting such contracts.

All bonds, whether listed on an exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market (and except for short-term investments as described in the next sentence), for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices received from dealers in the over-the-counter market in the United States or abroad, except that when no asked price is available, bonds are valued at the last bid price alone. Short-term investments maturing in sixty days or less are valued at cost plus interest earned (or discount amortized, as the case may be), which is deemed to approximate value.


London closing exchange rates typically 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 relevant quotation on the exchange or market deemed to be the primary trading venue for that security. In the absence of such a quotation, a quotation from the exchange or market deemed by the Adviser to be the secondary trading venue for the particular security shall be used. The Funds use pricing services to identify the market prices of publicly trade securities in its portfolio. 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”). Additionally, with respect to foreign holdings, specifically in circumstances leading the Adviser to believe that significant events occurring after the close of a foreign market have materially affected the value of the Fund’s holdings in that market, such holdings may be fair valued to reflect the events in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. 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, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and security-specific events. The values assigned to a Fund’s holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values.
