You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you, together with certain related accounts, invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $25,000 in the Global Fund. Information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the How to Purchase Shares and Public Offering Price of Class A Shares sections on pages 77 and 83, respectively.

Expenses shown in the table above (and that form the basis of the expense example on the following page) reflect annual expenses for the Fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. The methodology for the allocation of certain expenses among the various First Eagle Funds and their share classes is subject to change and will be changed in certain respects effective January 1, 2015. Total expenses shown for some Funds and share classes will decrease or increase. The Funds do not anticipate that these changes will increase the total expenses shown above by more than 0.06% of the average daily value of the net assets, calculated at an annual rate, of any Fund or share class.
