Letter from the President

John P. Arnhold

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

At First Eagle we remain committed to protecting and preserving our shareholders' purchasing power over time. Irrespective of short-term market events, swings in investor confidence or the pressure to follow a new market paradigm, our first priority is unwavering: to provide prudent stewardship of the assets you have placed in our care.

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the S&P 500 index increased 4.4% while the MSCI World and EAFE indices increased 5.1% and 6.8% respectively, reflecting the continued strength of the global equity markets. In Europe, the German DAX Index rose 22.8% and the French CAC 40 Index increased 19.2%. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 Index increased 18.9%. During the same time period, the dollar has strengthened 10.4% versus the Euro and 6.3% versus the Yen. Not surprisingly, dollar-linked commodity prices have suffered with crude oil falling 30% to $59.63 a barrel. However, the price of gold remained relatively unchanged, increasing less than 1% to $1,184.37 an ounce.

During the same period, the Barclay's U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.1% and the Barclay's U.S. High Yield Corporate Index returned 1.5%. High yield spreads ended April at 459 bps.

The appreciating dollar has been a major theme over the last few months and may prove to be a headwind for an already slow U.S. recovery. In addition to the stronger dollar, the U.S. continues to face the looming prospect of rate normalization. The Federal Reserve has made clear its intention to eventually increase rates, but the timing of the increase and its impact on the equity and debt markets remains to be seen. While the age of Quantitative Easing (QE) is over in the U.S., the European Central Bank is embarking on its own version of QE, which may prove to have a profound impact on global markets.

It seems clear that growth in China is slowing, and that this slowdown is having many effects across the globe, but the full extent of the change in both current growth and future expectations is difficult to ascertain. While the Chinese leadership is taking measures intended to stimulate domestic growth, the mere fact that such measures are deemed necessary confirms the slowdown.

Letter from the President

It is possible that Japan is beginning to move out of its twenty year period of deflation; but it is not yet certain. Thus the major parts of the world's economy—the U.S., Europe, China and Japan—are all at best experiencing "slow growth" and perhaps "no growth."

As usual, we have many concerns surrounding the global macroeconomic landscape, but as you would expect, we are not focused on predicting the outcomes of global events or the direction of the markets. Rather, we continue to strive to build what we believe are durable portfolios that can participate in the upside of rising markets, but also should provide some protection in distressed markets.

Global Value Team

Despite the buoyant global equity markets, the Global Value team's fundamental concerns have not been alleviated. The team maintains the view that current negative real interest rates are a tax on prudence. There is great concern over an environment that punishes people who hold cash or low-risk bonds, but rewards those who take on leverage and pile into riskier assets.

Bottom-up opportunities that the team believes represent a margin of safety have been scarce. As such, they are patiently holding cash and awaiting what they believe are better bargains at current valuation levels.

The Global Value team has unwound most of their hedges against the Yen and the Euro in the last several months based on valuations.

High Yield Team

High yield securities have generally rebounded in the last few months. The drop in energy prices at the end of last year had an outsized effect on high yield issues. However, in 2015 investor concerns regarding energy-related defaults abated as companies aggressively cut capital expenditures and operating costs.

As of April 30, 2015, the team had allocated approximately 50% to single-B issues compared with about 33% allocated to double-B issues. This reflects the Portfolio Managers' continued bias towards shorter duration and preference for taking credit risk over interest rate risk. We believe this positioning may help to minimize the effects of a rise in interest rates on the portfolio since double-B issues have historically had longer maturities and greater interest-rate sensitivity. As of April 30, 2015, the Fund had a duration of 3.2 years.

Letter from the President

Fund of America Team

The U.S. equity markets have been strong for over half a decade now, but high levels of corporate cash, an abundance of credit on attractive terms and an increase in activist investors have been positive factors for the Fund of America team. The team remains focused on identifying compelling opportunities of corporate change, with strong free cash flow and outstanding management teams.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

John P. Arnhold
President

Performance Chart (unaudited)

1  The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Market volatility can dramatically impact the fund's short-term performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than figures shown.

The average annual returns for Class A Shares "with sales charge" of First Eagle Global, Overseas, U.S. Value, Gold, Fund of America, and Global Income Builder give effect to the deduction of the maximum sales charge of 5.00%. The average annual returns for Class A Shares "with sales charge" of First Eagle High Yield gives effect to the deduction of the maximum sales charge of 4.50%.

12  For the First Eagle High Yield and Global Income Builder Funds had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed in the past, returns would have been lower.

13  These are the actual fund operating expenses prior to the application of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee at an annual rate in the amount of 0.05% of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets for the period January 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016. This waiver has the effect of reducing the management fee for the term of the waiver from 0.70% to 0.65%.

These expense ratios are presented as of October 31, 2014 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 countries, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. 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.

The principal risk of investing in value stocks is that the price of the security may not approach its anticipated value or may decline in price.

Investment in gold and gold related investments present certain risks, including political and economic risks affecting the price of gold and other precious metals like changes in U.S. or foreign 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.

The event-driven investment style used by First Eagle Fund of America carries the additional risk that the event anticipated occurs later than expected, does not occur at all or does not have the desired effect on the market price of the securities.

Performance Chart (unaudited)

First Eagle High Yield and Global Income Builder Funds invest in high yield securities that are non-investment grade. High yield securities are rated lower than investment-grade securities because there is a greater possibility that the issuer may be unable to make interest and principal payments on those securities. High yield securities involve greater risk than higher rated securities and portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not.

For the First Eagle High Yield and Global Income Builder Funds, bank loans are often less liquid than other types of debt instruments. There is no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral from a secured bank loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation or that such collateral could be liquidated.

The First Eagle High Yield fund's investment strategies may result in high turnover rates. This may increase the Fund's brokerage transaction costs, which would reduce performance. Rapid portfolio turnover also exposes shareholders to a higher current realization of short-term gains, which could cause you to pay higher taxes.

Funds that invest in bonds are subject to interest-rate risk and can lose principal value when interest rates rise. Bonds are also subject to credit risk, in which the bond issuer may fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perception of the issuer's ability to make such payments may cause the price of that bond to decline.

Income generation and dividends are not guaranteed. If dividend paying stocks in a fund's portfolio stop paying or reduce dividends, the fund's ability to generate income will be adversely affected.

All investments involve the risk of loss.

First Eagle High Yield Fund | Fund Overview

Growth of a $10,000 Initial Investment

Performance data quoted herein represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future results. Performance data quoted herein does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. The average annual returns shown above are historical and reflect changes in share price, reinvested dividends and are net of expenses.

Class I Shares require $1mm minimum investment and are offered without sales charge. Performance information is for Class I Shares and assumes all distributions have been reinvested and if a sales charge was included values would be lower. Had fees not been waived and/or expenses reimbursed, the performance would have been lower.

The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is composed of fixed-rate, publicly issued, non-investment grade debt, is unmanaged, with dividends reinvested, and is not available for purchase. The index includes both corporate and non-corporate sectors. The corporate sectors are Industrial, Utility, and Finance, which include both U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. The index is presented here for comparison purposes only. One cannot invest directly in an index.

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 ("1940 Act"). The Trust consists of eight separate portfolios, First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Gold Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund, First Eagle High Yield Fund, First Eagle Fund of America and First Eagle Absolute Return Fund (each individually a "Fund" or collectively the "Funds"). All the Funds are diversified mutual funds except for First Eagle Gold Fund, First Eagle Absolute Return Fund and First Eagle Fund of America, which are non-diversified. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust. The First Eagle Global Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a range of asset classes from markets in the United States and throughout 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, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in domestic equity and debt securities. The First Eagle Gold Fund seeks to provide investors the opportunity to participate in the investment characteristics of gold (and to a limited extent other precious metals) for a portion of their overall investment portfolio. The First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund (which commenced operations on May 1, 2012) seeks current income generation and long-term growth of capital. The First Eagle High Yield Fund seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income. The First Eagle Fund of America seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in domestic stocks and, to a lesser extent, in debt and international equity securities. No results are presented in these financial statements for First Eagle Absolute Return Fund, which commenced operations on May 14, 2014 and is described in a prospectus and annual report separate from that for the other seven Funds discussed here.

Effective at the close of business on Friday, May 9, 2014, the First Eagle Overseas Fund is closed to new investors, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additional information can be found in the prospectus.

First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (the "Adviser"), a subsidiary of Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder Holdings, Inc. ("ASB Holdings"), manages the Funds.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies that are adhered to by the Funds and that are in conformity with 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"), and First Eagle Gold Fund (the "Gold 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., and First Eagle Gold 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). Trading in bullion directly by the Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

presents the risk of tax consequences (e.g., a change in the Funds' tax status subjecting the Funds to be taxed at the Fund level on all of their income if the Funds' "non-qualifying income" exceeds 10% of the Funds' gross income in any taxable year). Trading in bullion by the Subsidiaries generally does not present the same tax risks.

The First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on October 18, 2013, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

The First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on October 18, 2013, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

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), 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 investment 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 traded on the NASDAQ, in which case it is valued at its last sale price (or, if available, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price).

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. Broker-Dealers or pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, dealers or pricing services may 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. Starting with: "Effective December 15, 2014, short term investments..."

Commodities (such as physical metals) are valued at the spot price at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T., as provided by an independent pricing source.

Forward contracts are valued at the current cost of covering or offsetting such contracts by reference to forward currency rates as of 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.

The 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. exchange rates 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 by the Adviser 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 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 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 a 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.

First Eagle Funds | Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2015

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Certain Funds with non-U.S. holdings have adopted procedures under which movements in the prices for U.S. securities (beyond specified thresholds) occurring after the close of a foreign market may require fair valuation of securities traded in that foreign market. The values assigned to a Fund's foreign holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values. The Trust 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 as of 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.

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 shall be determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board, generally acting through its designated Board Valuation Committee or Valuation Committee (collectively, the "Committees"). The Committees' responsibilities include making determinations regarding Level 3 fair value measurements and providing the results to the Board, in accordance with the Funds' valuation policies.

It is the policy of the Funds to recognize significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 and to disclose those transfers as of the date of the underlying event which caused the movement.

  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, there was no security transfer activity from Level 1 to Level 2 and no security transfer activity from Level 2 to Level 1.

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. 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. Such costs are generally allocated using the ratio of the Fund's average daily net assets relative to the total average daily net assets of the First Eagle Variable Funds. 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 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

First Eagle Funds | Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2015

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

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 currency contracts — In connection with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign currencies, each Fund may enter into forward currency contracts. The First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund enter into foreign exchange contracts primarily to manage 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 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 foreign 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 currency contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund's portfolio. Outstanding contracts at period end are indicative of the volume of activity during the period, proportionate to the net assets of the Fund.

The Funds adopted provisions surrounding disclosures and 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.

At April 30, 2015, the Funds had the following foreign forward currency contracts grouped into appropriate risk categories illustrated below:

g)  Options — In order to seek to produce incremental earnings or protect against declines in the value of portfolio securities, First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle Fund of America 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 last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation/depreciation is recorded. If there is no sale on such day, the mean between the last bid and asked prices is 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 | Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2015
187



Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

The Funds may be required to earmark assets to cover its obligations under option contracts. In general, a call option is covered if the Funds hold, 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 the Funds 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 the Funds, 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 the Funds. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

The Funds may also write over-the-counter options where the completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of the counterparty.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle U.S. Value Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle Fund of America had the following options transactions.

(3)  Statements of Operations location: Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of written options & investment transactions.

h)  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.

i)  Term Loans — A Fund may invest in term 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. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the Borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower, the selling participant and any intermediary between the Fund and the Borrower ("Intermediate Participants"). In the event that the Borrower, selling participant or Intermediate Participants become 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.

j)  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 inflation (deflation) adjustment is applied to the principal of each bond on a daily basis and is accounted for as interest income on the Statements of Operations. TIPS are subject to interest rate risk.

k)  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.

l)  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 the Code for a Regulated Investment Company. The Funds declare and pay such income and capital gains on an annual basis except for the First Eagle High Yield Fund which declares income daily and pays monthly and First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund which declares income daily and pays quarterly.

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.

m)  Class Accounting — Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gain or loss on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.

n)  Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

o)  Redemption Fee — A redemption fee of 2% will be applied to the First Eagle Gold Fund for the sale or exchange within 60 days of the purchase of such shares.

p)  Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

The Adviser has agreed to waive First Eagle High Yield Fund's management fee at an annual rate in the amount of 0.05% of the daily average net assets to 0.65% for the period January 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016.

Pursuant to a subadvisory agreement, dated December 10, 2002 (agreement was amended and restated most recently in September 2009) ("Subadvisory Agreement") Iridian Asset Management LLC ("Iridian" or "Sub-Adviser") manages the investments of the First Eagle Fund of America. The fees paid to Iridian by the Adviser under the Subadvisory Agreement are based on a reference amount equal to 50% of the combined (i) fees received by the Adviser for advisory services on behalf of the Fund and (ii) the fees received by the Fund's distributor for its shareholder liaison services on behalf of the Fund. These amounts are reduced by certain direct marketing costs borne by the Adviser in connection with the Fund and are further reduced by the amount paid by the Adviser for certain administrative expenses incurred in providing services to the Fund.

The Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses, for the First Eagle High Yield Fund and First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund, as allowed by law, so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items) of the First Eagle High Yield Fund's Class A, Class C and Class I shares did not exceed 1.25%, 2.00% and 0.80%, respectively, and the First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund's Class A, Class C and Class I shares did not exceed 1.30%, 2.05%, and 1.05%, respectively, through December 31, 2013.

The Adviser may seek reimbursement for fees waived and other expenses paid by the Adviser pursuant to the Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Agreement ("Agreement"). A repayment should be payable only to the extent it can be made during the thirty-six months following the applicable period during which the Adviser waived fees or reimbursed operating expenses under the Agreement. As of April 30, 2015, the Adviser may seek reimbursement of the remaining waived and reimbursed fees as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

At April 30, 2015, no shareholders owned more than 5% of any class of the First Eagle Funds.

Note 7 — 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. 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 of America 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 High Yield Fund and First Eagle Global Income Builder 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 8 — 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 as of April 30, 2015.

Note 9 — Subsequent Events

In accordance with the provision surrounding Subsequent Events adopted by the Funds, management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Funds' financial statements. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosures in the Funds' financial statements.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the First Eagle Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including front-end and contingent deferred sales charges (loads), and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution fees (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2014 and held for the six-months ended April 30, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The table below titled "Based on Actual Total Return" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period".

(1)  For the six-months ended April 30, 2015.

(2)  Past performance does not guarantee future results. Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable sales charge, exchange fees or redemption fees. Had the effect of sales charges been reflected, expenses would have been higher and returns lower. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year.

(3)  Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below titled "Based on Hypothetical Total Return" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the First Eagle Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example relating to the Funds with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2014 and held for the six-months ended April 30, 2015.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or back-end sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Consideration of Investment Advisory Agreements

The Advisory Agreements between the Trust and the Adviser as to First Eagle Global Fund ("Global Fund"), First Eagle Overseas Fund ("Overseas Fund"), First Eagle U.S. Value Fund ("U.S. Value Fund"), First Eagle Gold Fund ("Gold Fund"), First Eagle Fund of America ("First Eagle Fund of America") First Eagle High Yield Fund ("High Yield Fund") and First Eagle Global Income Builder ("Global Income Builder") continue in effect only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the Investment Company Act. The Advisory Agreements also provide that the Adviser will not be liable for any error of judgment or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which the Advisory Agreements relate, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty. The Advisory Agreements also provide that they will terminate automatically if assigned, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, and that they may be terminated without penalty by either party upon not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice.

The Board of Trustees approved the Advisory Agreements most recently on December 12, 2014. As part of their review of the agreements, the Trustees requested and received information on, among other things, the Funds' performance and fees as well as the services provided by the Adviser and its profitability. Prior to approving the agreements, the Independent Trustees met in Executive Session with their independent counsel and reviewed their legal and fiduciary obligations and the factors relating to their approval. In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. At the conclusion of their review the Trustees determined that the advisory fees were fair and reasonable and within the range of what could be negotiated at arm's length, and that the continuance of the agreements should serve the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Trustees considered the following topics in reaching their conclusion to continue the 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 the Funds consistent with the Funds' investment objectives, policies and restrictions as set forth in the Funds' Prospectuses.

•  The Trustees reviewed each Fund's long-standing historical relationship with the Adviser and the institutional resources available to the Adviser. 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 over the course of the year.

First Eagle Funds | Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2015

Investment Performance of Fund and Adviser

•  The Trustees reviewed the performance of each Fund on both an absolute and a relative basis. Outperformance for some Funds over the various periods listed below was noted relative to the Funds' benchmarks, to the performance of peer mutual funds and to Morningstar, Lipper and the Performance Universe average (all periods ending as of September 30, 2014):

°  Global Fund: Outperformed composites over the trailing 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; outperformed peer group median over the trailing 10-year period; outperformed benchmark over the trailing 10-year period.

°  Overseas Fund: Outperformed composites and benchmark median over the trailing 1-, 5- and 10-year periods; outperformed peer group median over the trailing 5- and 10-year periods.

°  U.S. Value Fund: Outperformed composites and benchmark over the trailing 10-year period.

°  Gold Fund: Outperformed composites, benchmark, and peer group median over the trailing 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods.

°  Global Income Builder Fund: Outperformed composites, one of its two indexes, and peer group median over the trailing 1-year period.

°  High Yield Fund: Outperformed composites and peer group median over the trailing 5-year period.

°  Fund of America: Outperformed composites, benchmark, and peer group median over the trailing 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods.

  The relative results of a number of the Funds (Global Fund, Overseas Fund, U.S. Value Fund, High Yield Fund and First Eagle Fund of America) were noted as being at or near the top of their peer groups for the following periods (all periods ending as of September 30, 2014):

°  Global Fund: the trailing 5- and 10-year periods.

°  Overseas Fund: the trailing 5- and 10-year periods.

°  Gold Fund: the trailing 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods.

°  Global Income Builder Fund: the trailing 1-year period.

°  High Yield Fund: the trailing 5-year period.

°  Fund of America: the trailing 1-, 5- and 10-year periods.

The Trustees commented on (and management discussed) the generally less favorable one-year relative performance results for Global Fund, Overseas Fund and U.S. Value Fund, though strong one-year relative results were noted for Gold Fund, Global Income Builder Fund and Fund of

America. Losses on an absolute basis over the prior year were noted for Gold Fund, though there was relative out-performance over the same period. Contributors to the lagging one-year results (both with and without the impact of higher than median cash positions) were discussed.

•  Performance for each Fund was determined to be appropriate given benchmarks, peer comparisons and on an absolute basis, and reflective of each Fund's investment objective and philosophy.

Costs of Services To Be Provided and Profits To Be Realized by Investment 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. 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 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 a report specifically prepared by an independent third party data provider in connection with the review of the arrangements between the Funds and the Adviser and a summary of such report prepared by Management. In doing so, they considered fees charged by investment advisers to peer mutual funds and 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 noted fee schedule "breakpoints" providing for potential reductions in the First Eagle Fund of America management fee over time. The Trustees also considered waived advisory fees to date from Global Income Builder Fund and High Yield Fund and noted that, while no waivers had been in effect for 2014, the Adviser had agreed to waive 5 b.p. of its advisory fee for High Yield Fund from January 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016. The Trustees also considered, where applicable, 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 these other accounts there are different styles and categories of services provided, which may be reflected in lower fees charged relative to the respective Fund. While analyzing the effects of direct and indirect compensation to the Adviser and its affiliates, such as soft dollar and other service benefits, the Trustees considered the levels of soft dollars, the absence of affiliated broker-dealer relationships, and the effects of the administrative service fees and reimbursements paid to the Adviser.

•  The Trustees reviewed the Funds' expense ratios, which were deemed reasonable both on an absolute basis and in comparison to peer funds. The Trustees discussed the impact of the advisory fee on the ratio of total expenses to total assets and noted that the Funds' expense ratios generally had decreased over time as the Funds grew, highlighting a benefit to shareholders

First Eagle Funds | Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2015
212



resulting from the development of economies of scale in the operation of the Funds. The Trustees noted that expense ratios for most of the Funds (excluding Gold Fund) had decreased relative to the prior year and reviewed the causes of those decreases. For each Fund (excluding Gold Fund), the principal contributing factor for this decrease is an increase in average net assets over the prior year. The Trustees also considered the effect of Fund asset size on particular categories of expenses, both currently and relative to prior periods. The Trustees again noted the fee schedule "breakpoints" providing for potential reductions in the First Eagle Fund of America management fee over time and the fee waiver to be implemented for High Yield Fund effective January 1, 2015. The Trustees noted the impact on expense ratios of the administrative fees or reimbursements paid to or charged by the Adviser, as the case may be. The Trustees noted that the Adviser is able to employ economies of scale in certain areas relating to the management of the Fund, such as investment management, trading, compliance and back-office operations.

•  The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's financial condition and profitability. They commented that profits appear strong, although not excessive and commensurate with the Funds' performance, based on the information provided at the meeting. 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 industry leading technologies. The Trustees reviewed the level of personal investment 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.
