About FESOX
First Eagle Overseas Fund Class C is a mutual fund that focuses on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies domiciled outside the United States. The fund predominantly allocates capital to established, mature foreign markets such as Japan, Germany, and France, while retaining the flexibility to invest in select emerging market economies as well. It employs a bottom-up, fundamental investment approach, seeking businesses with scarce, durable assets that offer persistent earnings power and are priced at a discount to their intrinsic value. The fund maintains broad diversification across approximately 165 holdings, spanning sectors like health care, energy, and technology. Managed by First Eagle Investment Management since its inception in June 2000, this fund is categorized as a Foreign Large Blend, meaning it holds a blend of growth and value stocks among large international companies. Its mandate allows for the inclusion of relevant derivative positions to meet its foreign securities allocation. Designed for investors seeking diversified exposure to non-U.S. equities, First Eagle Overseas Fund Class C serves as a core holding for those aiming to access global market opportunities while benefiting from active risk management and a focus on capital preservation.
