First Eagle’s Core Values
Caution is always in order.
» Conservative
We seek to consistently generate positive absolute returns over the long-term through our conservative approach to global value investing. We believe that preserving capital is the foundation to growing wealth. We don’t need to win everyday; we just need to win over time.
» Cautious
We construct a well diversified portfolio through cautious security selection with an emphasis on risk aversion. Our insistence on a substantial margin of safety, healthy balance sheets and clear business models enables the avoidance of risk and the allowance to generate positive absolute returns over time.
» Conviction
We believe we create value through our investment team’s bottom-up, disciplined security analysis, independent of broad market conditions or industry trends. Our allegiance to the fundamentals of intelligent value investing has guided us to avoid detrimental market bubbles over time.
