- First Eagle Overseas Fund Class A (SGOVX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equities issued by non-U.S. corporations traded in mature and developing markets worldwide; it maintains at least 80% of its net assets in foreign securities, including gold bullion via a Cayman Islands subsidiary, cash equivalents, and limited U.S. stocks and bonds. The fund offers Class A shares with a 5.00% front-end load, 1.15% net expense ratio, and minimum initial investment of $2,500, targeting individual and institutional investors focused on value-oriented, benchmark-agnostic strategies emphasizing downside protection across sectors like consumer defensive, industrials, and financial services. Geographic exposure spans developed Asia (e.g., Japan), Eurozone, United Kingdom, Canada, and emerging markets including South Korea, France, Switzerland, Hong Kong, China, and Germany. Managed by First Eagle Investment Management, LLC, a subsidiary of First Eagle Investments headquartered in New York and founded in 1864 (with U.S. operations since 1937), the fund launched on August 31, 1993, and oversees approximately $1.66 billion in Class A assets within a total net asset base exceeding $15 billion as of recent reports. Portfolio composition features top holdings such as gold bullion (8.9%), Imperial Oil Ltd., British American Tobacco plc, Shell plc, and Prosus NV, with 88.9% in common stocks, 8.9% in commodities, and 2.2% in short-term investments; turnover stands low at 7.17%. In recent developments, First Eagle Investments, the parent firm managing $161 billion in assets as of June 30, 2025, closed a majority investment by Genstar Capital in August 2025, succeeding prior owners Blackstone and Corsair (who invested in 2015) to fuel organic growth and acquisitions while preserving investment autonomy. Additionally, in December 2025, First Eagle announced the acquisition of Diamond Hill Investment Group, enhancing its equity strategies with aligned long-term, disciplined approaches and global resources. These moves support expanded capabilities in equities, fixed income, alternative credit, and multi-asset solutions without altering the Overseas Fund's objectives, management team (Matthew McLennan, Kimball Brooker, Christian Heck, and Alan Barr), or policies.
