FIRST EAGLE FUNDS

NOTES TO SCHEDULE 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 seven 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 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. 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 net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) 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 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 foreign equity securities.

 

The Funds offer seven share classes, Class A shares, Class C shares, Class I shares, Class R3 shares, Class R4 shares, Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares. Additionally, First Eagle Fund of America also offers Class Y shares. Class R3 shares, Class R4 shares and Class R5 shares (which launched on March 1, 2017 together with Class R6 shares) are not currently funded, but are available for investment.

 

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. Additionally, Class Y on First Eagle Fund of America is closed to new investors, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additional information can be found in the Funds’ prospectus.

 

First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of First Eagle Holdings, Inc. (“First Eagle Holdings”), manages the Funds. Private equity funds managed by The Blackstone Group, LP and Corsair Capital LLC and certain co-investors own a controlling interest in First Eagle Holdings.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies that are adhered to by the Funds. 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”), 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 and silver bullion in the First Eagle Gold Fund only. Trading in bullion directly by the Funds 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Global Fund and the First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of July 31, 2017, the First Eagle Global Cayman Fund, Ltd. has $3,415,186,786 in net assets, representing 6.14% of the Global Fund’s net assets.

 

The First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on October 18, 2013, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Overseas Fund and the First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of July 31, 2017, the First Eagle Overseas Cayman Fund, Ltd. has $975,360,338 in net assets, representing 5.42% of the Overseas Fund’s net assets.

 

The First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on January 24, 2012, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the U.S. Value Fund and the First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of July 31, 2017, the First Eagle U.S. Value Cayman Fund, Ltd. has $198,304,517 in net assets, representing 9.14% of the U.S. Value Fund’s net assets.

 

The First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd., established on May 28, 2010, is an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Gold Fund and the First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As of July 31, 2017, the First Eagle Gold Cayman Fund, Ltd. has $273,875,586 in net assets, representing 22.30% of the Gold Fund’s net assets.

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 generally 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). 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 readily available, are generally priced at the evaluated bid price. 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. Short-term investments, maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at evaluated bid prices.

 

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

 

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 (normally 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.), as provided by an independent pricing source.

 

The exchange rates as of the NYSE Close (normally 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.) 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 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. 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”). The values assigned to a Fund’s holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values.

 

Certain Funds with non-U.S. holdings have adopted procedures under which movements in the prices for U.S. securities occurring after the close of a foreign market may require fair valuation of securities traded in that foreign market. 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 and security-specific events. The values assigned to a Fund’s foreign holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values. The Board and the Adviser believe relying on the procedures as just described will result in prices that are more reflective of the fair 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.).

 

43



 

FIRST EAGLE FUNDS

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (unaudited)

 

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 under the supervision and responsibility of the Board. The Board has created a Board Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) to oversee the execution of the valuation and liquidity procedures for the Fund.

 

It is the policy of the Funds to recognize significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 and to value those transfers as of the beginning of the period.

 

The following is a summary of the Funds’ inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of July 31, 2017:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments are listed above. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. 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 market discount may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in recent transaction may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement.

For the nine-month period ended July 31, 2017, there was no security transfer activity from Level 1 to Level 2 and no security transfer activity from Level 2 to Level 1.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ investments are disclosed after each table, if applicable. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. 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.

 

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, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund enter into forward foreign currency 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 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 nine-month period ended July 31, 2017, the average monthly principal amount outstanding for forward foreign currency exchange contracts totaled $1,717,401,613,

$935,534,072, $168,419, $36,971,934, and $2,010,525 for First Eagle Global Fund, First Eagle Overseas Fund, First Eagle Gold Fund, First Eagle Global Income Builder Fund and First Eagle High Yield Fund, respectively.

 

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 Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the 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 Fund 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 the 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.

 

At July 31, 2017, the Funds had the following forward foreign currency exchange contracts grouped into appropriate risk categories illustrated below:

FIRST EAGLE FUNDS

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (unaudited)

 

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 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 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.

 

The Funds may be required to segregate or 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.

c) New Accounting Pronouncements — In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
