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 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”). 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 and was, until April 23, 2004, a Maryland corporation operating under the name First Eagle Funds, Inc. 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. 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 around 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, primarily in equity and debt issued by U.S. corporations. The First Eagle Gold Fund’s investment objective is to provide exposure to the investment characteristics of gold and, to a limited extent, other precious metals. The First Eagle Fund of America is primarily a U.S. equity fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. stocks and to a lesser extent in debt and foreign equity securities.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adhered to by the Funds and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

Effective December 7, 2009, Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder Advisers, LLC, has changed its corporate name to First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”).

 

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 in the case of NASDAQ securities, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (‘NOCP’)).

 

Commodities (such as physical metals) are valued at the spot price at the time trading on the New York Stock Exchange closes (normally 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.).

 

Forward currency contracts are valued at the current cost of covering or offsetting such contracts.

 

All bonds, whether listed on an exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market (and except for short-term investments as described in the next sentence), 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 (or discount amortized, as the case may be), which is deemed to approximate value.

 

The 2:00 pm E.S.T. exchange rates typically 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 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.

 

The Funds with significant 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 on that foreign market.

The values assigned to a Fund’s holdings therefore may differ on occasion from reported market values. The Trust and the Adviser believe relying on the procedures described above will result in prices that are more reflective of the actual market value of portfolio securities held by the Funds.

 

The Funds adopted provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures that define fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands 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 Fund’s 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 a fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments).

 

The following is a summary of each Fund’s inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of January 31, 2010:

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 credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.

 

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 Funds’ currency transactions may include transaction hedging and portfolio hedging involving either specific transactions or portfolio positions. Transaction hedging is the purchase or sale of a forward contract (or other cash management position) with respect to specific payables or receivables of each Fund in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities. 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. 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. These contracts are valued at the current cost of covering or offsetting such contracts.

 

Each Fund could be 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 the Fund’s schedule of investments. Outstanding contracts at period-end are indicative of the volume of activity during the period.

 

At January 31, 2010, the Funds had the following foreign forward currency contracts grouped into appropriate risk categories illustrated below:

Options—In order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities, the Funds may buy and sell put and call options, write covered call options on portfolio securities and write cash-secured put options.

 

First Eagle Fund of America generally writes covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. The Fund may also use options for speculative purposes, although it generally does not employ options for this purpose. The Fund will earmark assets to cover its obligations under option contracts.

 

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. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on the sale of a written call option, the purchase cost of a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is 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.

 

Each Fund may write “covered” call options on equity or debt securities and on stock indices in seeking to enhance investment return or to hedge against declines in the prices of portfolio securities or may write put options to hedge against increases in the prices of securities which it intends to purchase. A call option is covered if a Fund holds, 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 Fund in cash, Treasury bills or other high grade short-term obligations in a segregated account with its custodian). A put option is “covered” if a Fund maintains cash, Treasury bills or other high grade short-term obligations with a value equal to the exercise price in a segregated account with its custodian, or holds on a share-for-share basis a put on the same equity or debt security as the put written where the exercise price of the put held is equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put written, or lower than the exercise price of the put written if the difference is maintained in a segregated account 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 a Fund in the case of a call option, or a moderate increase in the value of securities a Fund intends to purchase in the case of a put option. If a covered option written by a Fund expires unexercised, it will realize income equal to the amount of the premium it received for the option. If an increase occurs in the underlying security or stock index sufficient to result in the exercise of a call written by a Fund, 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 Fund. The risk in writing a 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 risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases 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 Fund may also write over-the-counter options where the completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of the counterparty. Outstanding contracts at period-end are indicative of the volume of activity during the period.
