Overview
Description
First Eagle Gold Fund - Class A is an actively managed mutual fund dedicated to providing exposure to the investment characteristics of gold. Structured as a non-diversified fund, its primary objective is to allocate at least 80% of its net assets to gold, securities directly linked to gold, or companies principally engaged in the gold industry, such as gold mining and precious metals firms. The fund invests across a select range of holdings, with an emphasis on both physical gold and leading gold-related equities, including major mining companies from the basic materials sector.
This fund plays a niche role in the financial markets, offering investors a way to participate in movements of gold prices and gain indirect access to the gold mining industry. With a history dating back to 1993 and total assets exceeding $3.7 billion, First Eagle Gold Fund - Class A can serve as a portfolio diversifier, especially during periods of inflation or economic uncertainty, when gold-related assets often behave differently from broad equity markets. Its focused strategy and specialist sector exposure make it a recognized option for those seeking targeted precious metals exposure in their investment portfolios.
