FIRST EAGLE FUNDS 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. 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”). 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. Additionally, effective May 23, 2000, the Funds'
fiscal year end changed from March 31 to October 31 of each year. 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 NYSE is closed on the following days: New Year's Day, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. 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, 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. 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, except if such unlisted security 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”)). All bonds, whether listed on an exchange or traded in the over-the-counter
market, 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, which approximates value. Gold and silver held in physical form are valued at the price of the last sale at that day's close on the COMEX. Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Trustees or their delegates. Most foreign markets close before the NYSE. Normally, developments that could affect the values of securities that occur between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will not be reflected in security valuations used by the Funds to compute their share price. However, if developments are so significant that they will, in the judgment of the Funds, clearly and materially affect security values, such valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Funds' Board of Trustees. 41
