First Eagle Investment Management is committed to nurturing an investment-centric culture with a long-term, global perspective. We view ourselves as a firm of investors, not asset-gatherers. As such, our interests are closely aligned with those of our clients; we measure our success by the same standard: consistently strong long-term performance.
First Eagle strives at all times to preserve the high standards we have maintained over our 200-year history: a record of unquestioned integrity, a work environment that fosters excellence and dedication, and the earned respect of our clients and peers.
The First Eagle family of funds, including Global Fund, Overseas Fund, U.S. Value Fund, Gold Fund, Global Income Builder Fund, First Eagle Fund of America and High Yield Fund, provides a fully complementary range of value-oriented investment options across the capital structure. While each fund has its own distinct investment mandate, all share a focus on discovering well-managed, undervalued or overlooked companies, as well as special situations.
