About FEVAX
First Eagle U.S. Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in U.S. equity and debt securities. The fund is managed by First Eagle Investment Management and typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to domestic stocks and bonds, with flexibility to invest across companies of all sizes and in fixed income securities of varying maturities and credit qualities. Notably, the fund emphasizes value investing, seeking opportunities in undervalued companies across diversified sectors, and maintains moderate risk characteristics, as reflected in its moderately aggressive allocation and a lower-than-market beta. The portfolio is actively managed, with a significant active share, and features both equity holdings—such as large positions in healthcare, technology, consumer defensive, and energy companies—and allocations to alternative assets, evidenced by its notable stake in gold bullion. Since its inception in 2001, First Eagle U.S. Fund Class A has operated as a balanced vehicle for investors seeking a blend of capital appreciation and income, benchmarking its performance against the S&P 500 Index and distinguishing itself with consistent risk-managed returns and broad market exposure.
