Our Process

The First Eagle Credit Opportunities Fund is a flexible alternative credit portfolio that seeks to deliver current income with a secondary objective of providing long-term risk-adjusted returns. Employing a variety of fundamental and technical factors—at both the security and industry levels—the team establishes risk/return expectations across the investment opportunity set and constructs a portfolio of a variety of credit asset classes that balances the need for current income with potentially more long-term risk-adjusted returns.

  1. The annual expense ratio is based on expenses incurred by the fund, as stated in the most recent prospectus. FEIM has contractually undertaken to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and expenses of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) (‘‘annual operating expenses’’) of the Class A, Class A-2 and Class I shareholders are limited to 2.25%, 2.75% and 2.00%, respectively, of average net assets. This undertaking lasts until April 30, 2024 and may not be terminated during its term without the consent of the Board of Trustees. The Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for the class provided that repayment does not cause annual operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed 2.25%, 2.75% and 2.00% of the class’ average net assets, or such other lower amount as may be in place at the time of repayment. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the date in which the Fund incurred the fee and/or expense.

  1. Disclosures

  2. The Fund continuously offers its Common Shares through FEF Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), as principal underwriter, on a best efforts basis. Class A Shares, Class A-2 Shares and Class I Shares will be sold on a continuous basis at the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”) per Share, plus for Class A Shares and Class A-2 Shares only, a maximum front-end sales commission of 2.50%. While neither the Fund nor the Distributor impose a front-end sales commission on Class I Shares, if you buy Class I Shares through certain financial firms, they may directly charge you transaction or other fees in such amount as they may determine. Please consult your financial firm for additional information.

  3. Investors that purchase $250,000 or more of the Fund’s Class A Shares and/or Class A-2 Shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, unless eligible for a waiver, purchases of $250,000 or more of Class A Shares or Class A-2 Shares will be subject to an early withdrawal charge of 1.50% if the shares are repurchased during the first 12 months after their purchase. See “Early Withdrawal Charges—Class A Shares and Class A-2 Shares”

  4. The Fund does not currently charge a repurchase fee. However, in the future the Fund may charge a repurchase fee of up to 2.00%.

  5. 1

    The above table illustrates the aggregate fees and expenses (based on average net assets) that the Fund expects to incur and that Shareholders can expect to bear directly or indirectly. Because the Fund has a limited operating history, many of these expenses are estimates

  6. 2

    The Management Fee paid by the Fund is calculated at the annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily value of the Fund’s Managed Assets which includes assets purchased with borrowed money. The table above assumes that the Fund borrows money for investment purposes at an average amount of 19.56% of its Managed Assets, which is the percentage of the Fund’s borrowings to Managed Assets as of December 31, 2022. The Management Fee in the table is greater than 1.25% since it is computed as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets for presentation therein. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes).

  7. 3

    Interest Payments on Borrowed Funds are estimated based on borrowings and interest rates as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, borrowings represented approximately 19.56% of the Fund’s Managed Assets and the Fund bears expenses relating to such borrowings at an annual effective interest rate of 7.32% (plus applicable fees the Fund incurs in connection with its credit facility).

  8. 4

    Other expenses include, but are not limited to, accounting, legal and auditing fees of the Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses, as well as fees payable to the Independent Trustees.

  9. 5

    The annual expense ratio is based on expenses incurred by the fund, as stated in the most recent prospectus. FEIM has contractually undertaken to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and expenses of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) (‘‘annual operating expenses’’) of the Class A, Class A-2 and Class I shareholders are limited to 2.25%, 2.75% and 2.00%, respectively, of average net assets. This undertaking lasts until April 30, 2024 and may not be terminated during its term without the consent of the Board of Trustees. The Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for the class provided that repayment does not cause annual operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed 2.25%, 2.75% and 2.00% of the class’ average net assets, or such other lower amount as may be in place at the time of repayment. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the date in which the Fund incurred the fee and/or expense.

  10. 6

    The Adjusted Expense Ratio excludes certain investment expenses, such as interest expense from borrowings and repurchase agreements and dividend expense from investments on short sales, incurred directly by the Fund or indirectly through the Fund’s investments in underlying First Eagle Funds (if applicable), none of which are paid to First Eagle.

  11. 7

    The Management Fee paid by the Fund is calculated at the annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily value of the Fund’s Managed Assets (including assets purchased with borrowed money) for advisory, administrative, and other services, which is equivalent to 1.55% on the Fund's net assets. The Fund remains responsible for certain fees and expenses that are not covered by the Management Fee.

  12. Class A Shares. The minimum initial investment for Class A Shares is $2,500 per account. The minimum subsequent investment amount for Class A Shares is $100.

  13. The initial investment minimums may be modified for certain financial firms that submit orders on behalf of their customers. The Fund or the Distributor may lower or waive the minimum initial investment for certain classes of shares or categories of investors at their discretion. The minimum initial investment may also be modified for current officers, trustees, directors, and employees of the Fund, First Eagle, the Adviser, the Subadviser, the Distributor, certain other subsidiaries of First Eagle, The Blackstone Group Inc., Corsair Capital LLC, employees of certain firms providing services to the Fund (such as the custodian and the shareholder servicing agent), and to the immediate family members of any such persons or to any trust, pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for only such persons. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for details.

  14. “With load” performance for Class A Shares gives effect to the deduction of the maximum sales charge of 2.50%.

  15. The Credit Opportunities Fund’s Common Shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, have no trading market and no market is expected to develop.

  2. The Fund continuously offers its Common Shares through FEF Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), as principal underwriter, on a best efforts basis. Class A Shares, Class A-2 Shares and Class I Shares will be sold on a continuous basis at the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”) per Share, plus for Class A Shares and Class A-2 Shares only, a maximum front-end sales commission of 2.50%. While neither the Fund nor the Distributor impose a front-end sales commission on Class I Shares, if you buy Class I Shares through certain financial firms, they may directly charge you transaction or other fees in such amount as they may determine. Please consult your financial firm for additional information.

  3. Investors that purchase $250,000 or more of the Fund’s Class A Shares and/or Class A-2 Shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, unless eligible for a waiver, purchases of $250,000 or more of Class A Shares or Class A-2 Shares will be subject to an early withdrawal charge of 1.50% if the shares are repurchased during the first 12 months after their purchase. See “Early Withdrawal Charges—Class A Shares and Class A-2 Shares”

  4. The Fund does not currently charge a repurchase fee. However, in the future the Fund may charge a repurchase fee of up to 2.00%.

  5. 1

    The above table illustrates the aggregate fees and expenses (based on average net assets) that the Fund expects to incur and that Shareholders can expect to bear directly or indirectly. Because the Fund has a limited operating history, many of these expenses are estimates

  6. 2

    The Management Fee paid by the Fund is calculated at the annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily value of the Fund’s Managed Assets which includes assets purchased with borrowed money. The table above assumes that the Fund borrows money for investment purposes at an average amount of 19.56% of its Managed Assets, which is the percentage of the Fund’s borrowings to Managed Assets as of December 31, 2022. The Management Fee in the table is greater than 1.25% since it is computed as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets for presentation therein. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes).

  7. 3

    Interest Payments on Borrowed Funds are estimated based on borrowings and interest rates as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, borrowings represented approximately 19.56% of the Fund’s Managed Assets and the Fund bears expenses relating to such borrowings at an annual effective interest rate of 7.32% (plus applicable fees the Fund incurs in connection with its credit facility).

  8. 4

    Other expenses include, but are not limited to, accounting, legal and auditing fees of the Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses, as well as fees payable to the Independent Trustees.

  9. 5

    The annual expense ratio is based on expenses incurred by the fund, as stated in the most recent prospectus. FEIM has contractually undertaken to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and expenses of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) (‘‘annual operating expenses’’) of the Class A, Class A-2 and Class I shareholders are limited to 2.25%, 2.75% and 2.00%, respectively, of average net assets. This undertaking lasts until April 30, 2024 and may not be terminated during its term without the consent of the Board of Trustees. The Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for the class provided that repayment does not cause annual operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed 2.25%, 2.75% and 2.00% of the class’ average net assets, or such other lower amount as may be in place at the time of repayment. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the date in which the Fund incurred the fee and/or expense.

  10. 6

    The Adjusted Expense Ratio excludes certain investment expenses, such as interest expense from borrowings and repurchase agreements and dividend expense from investments on short sales, incurred directly by the Fund or indirectly through the Fund’s investments in underlying First Eagle Funds (if applicable), none of which are paid to First Eagle.

  11. 7

    The Management Fee paid by the Fund is calculated at the annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily value of the Fund’s Managed Assets (including assets purchased with borrowed money) for advisory, administrative, and other services, which is equivalent to 1.55% on the Fund's net assets. The Fund remains responsible for certain fees and expenses that are not covered by the Management Fee.

  12. Class I Shares. The minimum initial investment for Class I Shares is $1 million per account. There is no minimum subsequent investment amount for Class I Shares.

  13. The initial investment minimums may be modified for certain financial firms that submit orders on behalf of their customers. The Fund or the Distributor may lower or waive the minimum initial investment for certain classes of shares or categories of investors at their discretion. The minimum initial investment may also be modified for current officers, trustees, directors, and employees of the Fund, First Eagle, the Adviser, the Subadviser, the Distributor, certain other subsidiaries of First Eagle, The Blackstone Group Inc., Corsair Capital LLC, employees of certain firms providing services to the Fund (such as the custodian and the shareholder servicing agent), and to the immediate family members of any such persons or to any trust, pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for only such persons. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for details.

  14. “With load” performance for Class A Shares gives effect to the deduction of the maximum sales charge of 2.50%.

Fund Performance and Outlook

Fund Performance and Outlook
  1. The prospectus and summary prospectus may be viewed online or by calling us at 800-334-2143. Please read our prospectus carefully before investing.  Investments are not FDIC insured or bank guaranteed and may lose value.

  2. FEF Distributors, LLC (“FEFD”) (SIPC), a limited purpose broker-dealer, distributes certain First Eagle products. FEFD does not provide services to any investor, but rather provides services to its First Eagle affiliates. As such, when FEFD presents a fund, strategy, or other product to a prospective investor, FEFD and its representatives do not determine whether an investment in the fund, strategy or other product is in the best interests of, or is otherwise beneficial or suitable for, the investor. No statement by FEFD should be construed as a recommendation. Investors should exercise their own judgment and/or consult with a financial professional to determine whether it is advisable for the investor to invest in any First Eagle fund, strategy, or product.

  1. Risk Disclosures

  2. An investment in the First Eagle Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) involves a number of significant risks. Before you invest, you should be aware of various risks, including those described below. For a more complete discussion of the risks of investing in the Fund, see the Fund’s prospectus under the heading, “Principal Risks of the Fund.”

  3. All investments involve the risk of loss of principal. The Fund may not be able to pay distributions or may have to reduce distribution levels if the income and/or dividends the Fund receives from its investments decline.

  4. Investment in private and middle market companies is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk of credit loss, and therefore the Fund’s securities may not be suitable for someone with a low tolerance for risk. The Fund is required to rely on the ability of the First Eagle Alternative Credit’s investment professionals to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from investing in these companies.

  5. Below investment grade securities or comparable unrated instruments may be subject to greater risks than securities or instruments that have higher credit ratings, including a higher risk of default, and the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price.

  6. Investments in loans potentially expose the Fund to the credit risk of the underlying borrower, and in certain cases, of the financial institution. The Fund’s ability to receive payments in connection with the loan depends primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. Even investments in secured loans present risk, as there is no assurance that the collateral securing the loan will be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligation. The market for certain loans is expected to be illiquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. In addition, loans often have contractual restrictions on resale, which can delay the sale and adversely impact the sale price

  7. Investments in debt securities and other obligations of companies that are experiencing significant financial or business distress involve a substantial degree of risk, including a material risk that the issuer will default on the obligations or enter bankruptcy. The level of analytical sophistication, both financial and legal, necessary for successful investment in distressed assets is unusually high. There is no assurance that First Eagle Alternative Credit will correctly evaluate the value of the assets collateralizing the Fund’s investments or the prospects for a successful reorganization or similar action in respect of any company.
