Semi-Annual Report

March 31, 2019

FOREWORD

This report is for the information of the shareholders of the Funds. It is the policy of each Fund described in this report to mail only one copy of a Fund’s prospectus, annual report, semi-annual report and proxy statements to all shareholders who share the same mailing address and share the same last name and have invested in a Fund covered by the same document. You are deemed to consent to this policy unless you specifically revoke this policy and request that separate copies of such documents be mailed to you. In such case, you will begin to receive your own copies within 30 days after our receipt of the revocation. You may request that separate copies of these disclosure documents be mailed to you by writing to us at: Foresters Investor Services, Inc., Raritan Plaza I, Edison, NJ 08837-3620 or calling us at 1-800-423-4026.

You may obtain a free prospectus for any of the Funds by contacting your representative, calling 1-800-423-4026, writing to us at the following address: Foresters Financial Services, Inc., 40 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005, or by visiting our website at www.foresters.com. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a Fund carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the Fund, and should be read carefully before investing.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although the Government Cash Management Fund seeks to preserve a net asset value at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in it, just as it is possible to lose money by investing in any of the other Funds. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. There is no guarantee that a Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

A Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) for any of the Funds may also be obtained, without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-423-4026, writing to us at our address or by visiting our website listed above. The SAI contains more detailed information about the Funds, including information about its Trustees.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)

FIRST INVESTORS INCOME FUNDS

FIRST INVESTORS EQUITY FUNDS

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including a sales charge (load) on purchase payments (on Class A shares only) and a contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions (on Class B shares and, under certain circumstances when a Class A load was waived, on Class A shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees; distribution and service fees (12b-1) (on Class A and Class B shares only); and other 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.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 in each Fund at the beginning of the period, October 1, 2018, and held for the entire six-month period ended March 31, 2019. The calculations assume that no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

Actual Expenses Example:

These amounts help you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, 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 during this period, simply divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number given for your Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Hypothetical Expenses Example:

These amounts provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares of a Fund, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads) or account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as an annual custodial fee of $15 for certain IRA accounts and certain other retirement accounts or an annual custodial fee of $30 for 403(b) custodial accounts (subject to exceptions and certain waivers as described in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the hypothetical expenses example 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 costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

FLOATING RATE FUND

March 31, 2019

The Fund’s assets and liabilities are classified into the following three levels based on the inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1 –

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 –

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 –

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The inputs methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, U.S. government securities are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

The following is a summary, by category of Level, of inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2019:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Loan Participations	$	—	$	226,101,766	$	—	$	226,101,766
Corporate Bonds		—		20,890,180		—		20,890,180
Total Investments in Securities^*	$	—	$	246,991,946	$	—	$	246,991,946

^*	The Portfolio of Investments provides information on the industry categorization of loan participations and corporate bonds.

There were no transfers into or from Level 1 and Level 2 by the Fund for the period ended March 31, 2019. Transfers, if any, between Levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

FIRST INVESTORS EQUITY FUNDS

March 31, 2019

1. Significant Accounting Policies—First Investors Income Funds (“Income Funds”) and First Investors Equity Funds (“Equity Funds”), each a Delaware statutory trust (each a “Trust”, collectively, “the Trusts”), are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as open-end management investment companies and operate as series funds. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.The Income Funds issues shares of beneficial interest in the Floating Rate Fund, Fund For Income, Government Cash Management Fund, International Opportunities Bond Fund, Investment Grade Fund, Limited Duration Bond Fund and Strategic Income Fund. All Funds in the Income Funds are diversified funds except for International Opportunities Bond Fund which is a non-diversified fund. The Equity Funds issues shares of beneficial interest in the Covered Call Strategy Fund, Equity Income Fund, Global Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund, International Fund, Opportunity Fund, Premium Income Fund, Select Growth Fund, Special Situations Fund and Total Return Fund. All Funds in the Equity Funds are diversified funds. Each Fund in the Income Funds and Equity Funds is referred to as a “Fund” and collectively, “the Funds”. The Trusts account separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund. The objective of each Fund as of March 31, 2019, is as follows:

Floating Rate Fund seeks a high level of current income.

Fund For Income seeks high current income.

Government Cash Management Fund seeks to earn a high rate of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.

International Opportunities Bond Fund seeks total return consisting of income and capital appreciation.

Investment Grade Fund seeks to generate a maximum level of income consistent with investment primarily in investment grade debt securities.

Limited Duration Bond Fund seeks current income consistent with low volatility of principal.

Strategic Income Fund seeks a high level of current income.

Covered Call Strategy Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Equity Income Fund seeks total return.

Global Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

Growth & Income Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and current income.

220

Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund seeks total return and, secondarily, capital preservation.

International Fund primarily seeks long-term capital growth.

Opportunity Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

Premium Income Fund seeks to generate income.

Select Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Special Situations Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Total Return Fund seeks high, long-term total investment return consistent with moderate investment risk.

A. Security Valuation—Except as provided below, a security listed or traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market is valued at its last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is principally traded, and lacking any sales, the security is valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market (including securities listed on exchanges whose primary market is believed to be OTC) and call and put options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices based on quotes furnished by a market maker for such securities or an authorized pricing service. Fixed income securities, other than short-term debt securities held by the Government Cash Management Fund, are priced based upon evaluated prices that are provided by a pricing service approved by the Trusts’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Other securities may also be priced based upon valuations that are provided by pricing services approved by the Board. The pricing services consider security type, rating, market condition and yield data as well as market quotations, prices provided by market makers and other available information in determining evaluated prices. The net asset value of the Strategic Income Fund is derived from the net asset values of the underlying Funds in which it invests.

The Funds monitor for significant events occurring prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange that could have a material impact on the value of any securities that are held by the Funds. Examples of such events include trading halts, natural disasters, political events and issuer-specific developments. If the Valuation Committee of Foresters Investment Management Company, Inc. (“FIMCO”) decides that such events warrant using fair value estimates, it will take such events into consideration in determining the fair values of such securities. If market quotations or prices are not readily available or are deemed to be unreliable, or do not appear to reflect significant events that have occurred prior to the time as of which the net assets value is calculated, the securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. The Funds also use evaluated prices from a pricing service to fair value certain foreign equity securities in the event that fluctuation in U.S. securities markets exceed a predetermined level or if a foreign market is closed. For valuation purposes, where

applicable, quotations of foreign securities in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollar equivalents using the foreign exchange quotation in effect.

The Government Cash Management Fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Amortized cost is an approximation of market value of an instrument, whereby the difference between its acquisition cost and market value at maturity is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the instrument. The effect of changes in the market value of a security as a result of fluctuating interest rates is not taken into account and thus the amortized cost method of valuation may result in the value of a security being higher or lower than its actual market value.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), investments held by the Funds are carried at “fair value”. As defined by ASC 820, fair value is the price that a fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments.

In addition to defining fair value, ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Equity securities and futures contracts traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy to the extent that they are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied. The underlying Funds in which Strategic Income Fund invests are also categorized in Level 1. Foreign equity securities that are fair valued in the event that fluctuations in U.S. securities markets exceed a predetermined level or if a foreign market is closed are categorized in Level 2. Variable and floating rate, corporate, sovereign and municipal bonds, asset backed, U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agency securities, pass-through certificates and loan participations are categorized in Level 2 to the extent that the inputs are observable and timely, otherwise they would be categorized in Level 3. Short-term notes that are valued at amortized cost by the Government Cash Management Fund are categorized in

222

Level 2. Call and put options contracts are categorized in Level 2 to the extent that the inputs are observable and timely. Foreign exchange contracts that are considered derivative instruments and are valued at the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the instruments are categorized in Level 2. Securities that are fair valued by the Valuation Committee may be categorized in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relative significance of the unobservable valuation inputs.

The aggregate value by input level, as of March 31, 2019, for each Fund’s investments is included following each Fund’s portfolio of investments.

B. Federal Income Taxes—No provision has been made for federal income taxes on net income or capital gains since it is the policy of each Fund to continue to comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to investment companies, and to make sufficient distributions of income and capital gains (in excess of any available capital loss carryovers) to relieve it from all, or substantially all, such taxes. At September 30, 2018, capital loss carryovers were as follows:

			Capital Loss Carryovers Not Subject to Expiration
Fund	Total		Long-Term		Short-Term		Utilized		Expired
Floating Rate	$	3,538,184	$	2,992,449	$	545,735	$	380,941	$	—
Fund For Income		38,335,803		34,401,802		3,934,001		650,564		110,622,886

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2016 – 2018, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2019 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, New York State, New York City and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

C. Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends from net investment income of Floating Rate Fund, Fund For Income, Investment Grade Fund, Limited Duration Bond Fund, and Strategic Income Fund are generally declared daily and paid monthly. The Government Cash Management Fund declares distributions, if any, daily and pays distributions monthly, from the total of net investment income plus or minus all realized short-term gains and losses on investments. Dividends from net investment income, if any, of International Opportunities Bond Fund, Covered Call Strategy Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Premium Income Fund and Total Return Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from net investment income, if any, of Global Fund, Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund, International Fund, Opportunity Fund, Select Growth Fund and Special Situations Fund are declared and paid annually. Premium Income Fund may distribute net short term capital gains, if any, on a quarterly basis. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, of each of the Funds are normally declared and paid annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for capital loss carryforwards, deferral of wash sales losses, post-October capital losses, late loss deferrals, net operating losses and foreign currency transactions.

D. Expense Allocation—Expenses directly charged or attributable to a Fund are paid from the assets of that Fund. General expenses of the Trusts are allocated among and charged to the assets of each Fund on a fair and equitable basis, which may be based on the relative assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability to each Fund.

E. Use of Estimates—The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F. Foreign Currency Translations—The accounting records of all of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars, including those Funds that invest in foreign securities. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities, dividend income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

International Opportunities Bond Fund, Global Fund, Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund and International Fund do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on foreign investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. These changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

224

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions include gains and losses from the sales of foreign currency and gains and losses on accrued foreign dividends and related withholding taxes.

G. Other—Security transactions are generally accounted for on the first business day following the date the securities are purchased or sold, except for financial reporting purposes, which is trade date. Investments in securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are generally reflected in the assets of the Funds on the first business day following the date the securities are purchased and the Funds segregate assets for these transactions. Cost of securities is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign dividends, as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Bond discounts and premiums are accreted or amortized using the interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as custodian for the Funds and may provide credits against custodian charges based on uninvested cash balance of the Funds. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, the Income Funds and Equity Funds received credits in the amount of $16,526 and $80,949, respectively. Certain of the Equity Funds reduced expenses through brokerage service arrangements. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, expenses were reduced by a total of $19,663 for certain of the Equity Funds under these arrangements.

5. Derivatives—Some of the Funds may invest in various derivatives. A derivative is a financial instrument which has a value that is based on – or “derived from” – the values of other assets, reference rates, or indices. The Funds may invest in derivatives for hedging purposes.

Derivatives may relate to a wide variety of underlying references, such as commodities, stocks, bonds, interest rates, currency exchange rates, and related indices. Derivatives include futures contracts and options on futures contracts, forward-commitment transactions, options on securities, caps, floors, collars, swap contracts, and other financial instruments. Some derivatives, such as futures contracts and certain options, are traded on U.S. commodity and securities exchanges, while other derivatives, such as swap contracts, are privately negotiated and entered into in the over-the-counter market (“OTC”). The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.

The use of a derivative involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party to the contract (usually referred to as a “counterparty”) or the failure of the counterparty to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. Additionally, the use of credit derivatives can result in losses if FIMCO, or a Fund’s subadviser, as applicable, does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the issuer on which the credit derivative is based.

Derivatives may be subject to liquidity risk, which exists when a particular derivative is difficult to purchase or sell. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is relatively illiquid (as is the case with many OTC derivatives), it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price.

Derivatives may be subject to pricing or “basis” risk, which exists when a particular derivative becomes extraordinarily expensive relative to historical prices or the prices of corresponding cash market instruments. Under certain market conditions, it may not be economically feasible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position in time to avoid a loss or take advantage of an opportunity.

Because many derivatives have leverage or borrowing components, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate, or index can result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment.

Like most other investments, derivative instruments are subject to the risk that the market value of the instrument will change in a way detrimental to the Funds’ interest. The Funds bear the risk that FIMCO will incorrectly forecast future market trends or the values of assets, reference rates, indices, or other financial or economic factors in establishing derivative positions for the Funds. If FIMCO attempts to use a derivative as a hedge against, or as a substitute for, a portfolio investment, the Funds will be exposed to the risk that the derivative will have or will develop an imperfect or no correlation with the portfolio investment. This could cause substantial losses

236

for the Funds. While hedging strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in other investments. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and often valued subjectively. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to a Fund.

The following provides more information on specific types of derivatives and activity in the Funds.

Options Contracts—Some of the Funds may write covered call and put options on securities, derivative instruments, or currencies the Fund owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Some of the Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium which is included in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Futures Contracts—The Funds may enter into futures contracts including interest rate futures contracts and index futures, including futures on equity market indices and debt market indices. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the stock market. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments (variation margin) are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is presented in the Statement of Operations. Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption “Futures Contracts”. The notional amount at value reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end.

The Funds may enter into interest rate futures contracts on U.S. Treasury obligations and options thereon that are traded on a U.S. exchange. An interest rate futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the purchase by another party of a specified amount of a particular financial instrument (debt security) at a specified price, date, time and place. Such investments may be used for, among other purposes, the purpose of hedging against changes in the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and market conditions. A public market exists for interest rate futures contracts covering a number of debt securities, including long-term U.S. Treasury Bonds, 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes and three-month U.S. Treasury Bills. No price is paid upon entering into futures contracts. Instead, upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with its custodian in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker through which the transaction is effected an amount of cash or U.S. Government securities generally equal to 3%-5% or less of the contract value. This amount is known as “initial margin.”

An option on an interest rate futures contract generally gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. The Funds may purchase put and call options on interest rate futures contracts on U.S. Treasury obligations which are traded on a U.S. exchange as a hedge against changes in interest rates, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. There is no guarantee such closing transactions can be effected. When writing a call or put option on a futures contract, margin also must be deposited in accordance with applicable exchange rules. Initial margin on futures contracts is in the nature of a performance bond or good-faith deposit that is returned to a Fund upon termination of the transaction, assuming all obligations have been satisfied. Under certain circumstances, such as periods of high volatility, a Fund may be required by an exchange to increase the level of its initial margin payment. Subsequent payments, called “variation margin,” to and from the broker, are made on a daily basis as the value of the futures position varies, a

240

process known as “marking to market.” Variation margin does not involve borrowing to finance the futures transactions, but rather represents a daily settlement of a Fund’s obligation to or from a clearing organization. A Fund is also obligated to make initial and variation margin payments when it writes options on futures contracts.

To the extent that a Fund participates in the futures or options markets, it will incur investment risks and transaction costs to which it would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including: (1) dependence on the ability of the Funds’ investment adviser, FIMCO, or a Fund’s subadviser, as applicable, to predict correctly movements in the direction of interest rates and securities prices; (2) imperfect correlation between the price of futures contracts and options thereon and movements in the prices of the securities or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills needed to use these strategies are different from those needed to select portfolio securities; (4) the leverage (if any) that is created by investing in the option or futures contract; and (5) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time. If FIMCO’s, or a Fund’s subadviser, as applicable, prediction of movements in the direction of the securities and interest rate markets is inaccurate, the adverse consequences to that Fund may leave it in a worse position than if such strategies were not used. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value.

Foreign Exchange Contracts—The International Opportunities Bond Fund, Global Fund and Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund may enter into foreign exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at negotiated rates at future dates. These contracts are considered derivative instruments and a Fund may invest in them in order to hedge its currency exposure in bond positions or to gain currency exposure held by the Fund. A Fund could be exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. Foreign exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rate and the resulting unrealized gains and losses are reflected in the Funds’ assets. During the period, the Funds used currency forwards to hedge currency exposure from certain bonds as well as to gain currency exposure in certain countries.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities—Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.

A Fund may mitigate credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. These agreements may allow the Fund and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Fund’s custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

The Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities (“SOAL”) presents financial instruments on a gross basis, therefore there are no net amounts and no offset amounts within the SOAL to present

6. High Yield Credit Risk—The investments in high yield securities of Floating Rate Fund, Fund For Income, Investment Grade Fund, Limited Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Fund, whether rated or unrated, may be considered speculative and subject to greater market fluctuations and risks of loss of income and principal than lower-yielding, higher-rated, fixed-income securities. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for holders of high-yielding securities, because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

7. Capital—The Trusts are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. The Trusts consist of the Funds listed on the cover page, each of which is a separate and distinct series of the Trusts. Each Fund has designated four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares (each, a “Class”) except for Government Cash Management Fund which has designated only Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares, Strategic Income Fund which has designated only Class A and Advisor Class shares and Floating Rate Fund, International Opportunities Bond Fund, Limited Duration Bond Fund, Covered Call Strategy Fund, Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund and Premium Income Fund, which have designated only Class A, Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares. Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares became available for sale to the public, for those Funds in existence at the time, in May 2013 and October 2013, respectively. Not all classes of shares of each Fund may be available in all jurisdictions. Effective February 1, 2019, class B shares are no longer offered for sale to the public. Each share of each Class has an equal beneficial interest in the assets, has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and is subject to the same terms and conditions except that expenses allocated to a Class may be borne solely by that Class as determined by the Board and a Class may have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that Class. Government Cash Management Fund’s Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares are sold without an initial sales charge; however, its Class B shares may only be acquired through an exchange of Class B shares from another First Investors eligible Fund or through the reinvestment of dividends on Class B shares and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge at the rate of 4% in the first year and declining to 0% over a six-year period, which is payable to FFS as underwriter of the Trusts. The shares sold by the other Funds have a public offering price that reflects different sales charges and expense levels. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4% for the First

245

FIRST INVESTORS INCOME FUNDS

March 31, 2019

Investors Income Funds, except for Floating Rate Fund and Limited Duration Bond Fund which have an initial sales charge of up to 2.5% (effective June 12, 2017, the maximum sales charge on Class A shares was changed from 5.75% to 4% on the Income Funds, except for Floating Rate Fund and Limited Duration Bond Fund which was changed to 2.5%) and 5.75% for the First Investors Equity Funds and together with the Class B shares are subject to distribution plan fees as described in Note 3. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge, but are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge which declines in steps from 4% to 0% over a six-year period. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares after eight years. There are no sales charges associated with the purchase of Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares. Realized and unrealized gains or losses, investment income and expenses (other than distribution plan fees and shareholder servicing costs) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets to each class.

Effective on or about June 14, 2019, the issued and outstanding Class B shares of each Fund will convert to Class A shares without the imposition of any front-end or deferred sales load, fees or other charges. If you are a shareholder of Class B shares on that date, your Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on the basis of their relative net asset value per share. This conversion is not expected to be a taxable event for shareholders and the aggregate tax basis of your Class A shares will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Class B shares being converted. You should consult your tax adviser for any tax-related questions you may have. Any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSC) will not be applied on Class B share redemptions effective as of May 31, 2019. Following the conversion of the Funds’ Class B shares, Class B shares will be terminated. Accordingly, on or about June 14, 2019, all references to Class B shares in the Prospectuses, Summary Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information are hereby deleted.

8. Litigation—The Blue Chip and Equity Income Funds have been named, and have received notice that they may be putative members of the proposed defendant class of shareholders, in a lawsuit filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on November 1, 2010, by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Company (the “Committee”). The Committee is seeking to recover all payments made to beneficial owners of common stock in connection with a leveraged buyout of the Tribune Company (“LBO”), including payments made in connection with a 2007 tender offer into which the Blue Chip and Equity Income Funds tendered their shares of common stock of the Tribune Company. On December 9, 2011, the Blue Chip Fund was reorganized into the Growth & Income Fund pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Termination, whereby all of the assets of the Blue Chip Fund were transferred to the Growth & Income Fund, the Growth & Income Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the Blue Chip Fund, including any contingent liabilities with respect to pending or threatened litigation or actions, and shareholders of Blue Chip Fund became shareholders of Growth & Income Fund. The adversary proceeding brought by the Committee has been transferred to the Southern District of New York and administratively consolidated with other similar suits as discussed below. In addition, on June 2, 2011, the Blue Chip and Equity Income Funds were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought in connection with the Tribune Company’s LBO by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as successor indenture

trustee for a certain series of Senior Notes, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, in its capacity as successor indenture trustee for a certain series of Senior Notes, and Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as successor indenture trustee for the PHONES Notes (together, the “Bondholder Plaintiffs”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The Blue Chip and Equity Income Funds have also been named in a similar suit filed on behalf of participants in Tribune defined-compensation plans (the “Retiree Plaintiffs”). As with the Bondholder Plaintiffs and the Committee, the Retiree Plaintiffs seek to recover payments of the proceeds of the LBO. (All of these suits have been removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and administratively consolidated with other substantially similar suits against other former Tribune shareholders (the “MDL Proceeding”)). On September 23, 2013, the Judge in the MDL Proceeding dismissed various state law constructive fraudulent transfer suits, resulting in the Funds being dismissed from the Bondholder and Retiree Plaintiffs’ actions. On September 30, 2013, counsel for the plaintiffs in those suits appealed the MDL Judge’s dismissal ruling to the Second Circuit. On March 24, 2016, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the MDL Judge’s dismissal of the various state law constructive fraudulent transfer suits. In September 2016, the Bondholder and Retiree Plaintiffs petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Second Circuit’s decision. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on that request. On January 9, 2017, the Tribune MDL judge granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Committee lawsuit alleging a single claim for intentional fraudulent transfer. An appeal of that decision to the Second Circuit is expected, but has not yet been made. The extent of the Funds’ potential liability in any such actions has not been determined. The Funds have been advised by counsel that the Funds could be held liable to return all or part of the proceeds received in any of these actions, as well as interest and court costs, even though the Funds had no knowledge of, or participation in, any misconduct. The Equity Income Fund received proceeds of $1,526,566 in connection with the LBO, representing 0.26% of its net assets as of March 31, 2019. The Blue Chip Fund received proceeds of $790,772 in connection with the LBO, representing 0.05% of the net assets of Growth & Income Fund as of March 31, 2019. The Equity Income and Growth & Income Funds cannot predict the outcomes of these proceedings, and thus have not accrued any of the amounts sought in the various actions in the accompanying financial statements.

9. Matters to be Submitted to a Vote by Shareholders—On April 9, 2019, The Independent Order of Foresters, the ultimate parent company of Foresters Investment Management Company, Inc. (“FIMCO”), which is the investment adviser to the separate series of the First Investors Income Funds, First Investors Equity Funds, First Investors Tax Exempt Funds and First Investors Life Series Funds (the “Funds”), Foresters Financial Services, Inc. (“FFS”), which is the Funds’ distributor, and Foresters Investor Services, Inc. (“FIS”), which is the Funds’ transfer agent, announced that it has entered into the two definitive purchase agreements described below that, once completed, will result in the sale of its U.S. North American Asset Management businesses.

First, FIMCO has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc. (“Macquarie”) whereby Macquarie, a global investment management firm headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will purchase FIMCO’s assets related to the mutual fund management business, including the Funds (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is not

expected to result in any material changes to the Funds’ investment objectives and principal investment strategies. However, upon the completion of the Transaction, Macquarie expects that each Fund will be reorganized into a substantially similar fund that is managed by Delaware Management Company, a subsidiary of Macquarie (the “Reorganizations”). The Transaction is expected to be completed during the fourth calendar quarter of 2019, pending the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and approvals, including approvals of the Reorganizations by the Funds’ Board of Trustees and Fund shareholders at a special shareholder meeting.

Second, FFS and Foresters Advisory Services, LLC (“FAS”) has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Cetera Financial Group, Inc. (“Cetera”), a U.S.-based wealth management firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado, whereby Cetera will purchase FFS’ retail brokerage business and FAS’ retail advisory business. This transaction is expected to be completed in the second calendar quarter of 2019.

Shareholders will receive a forthcoming proxy statement.

10. Subsequent Events—Subsequent events occurring after March 31, 2019 have been evaluated for potential impact to this report through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
First Investors Income Funds
First Investors Equity Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Floating Rate Fund, Fund For Income, Government Cash Management Fund, International Opportunities Bond Fund, Investment Grade Fund, Limited Duration Bond Fund and Strategic Income Fund, (the “Income Funds”), each a series of the First Investors Income Funds and the Covered Call Strategy Fund, Equity Income Fund, Global Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Hedged U.S. Equity Opportunities Fund, International Fund, Opportunity Fund, Premium Income Fund, Select Growth Fund, Special Situations Fund and Total Return Fund (the “Equity Funds”), each a series of First Investors Equity Funds, including the portfolio of investments, as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated thereon, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Income Funds and Equity Funds as of March 31, 2019, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Income Funds’ and Equity Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Income Funds’ and Equity Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Income Funds and Equity Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the First Investors Family of Funds since 1978.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Income Funds and Equity Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Income Funds’ and Equity Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall

284

presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
