The First Eagle US Equity ETF (USFE) utilizes a value-centric investment philosophy, with a primary focus on safeguarding capital through rigorous stock selection. The fund endeavors to pinpoint companies whose market valuation falls below the advisor's estimate of their inherent worth, with a strong emphasis on their fiscal resilience, enduring business viability, and the caliber of their leadership. Investment choices are not dictated by company size, thus permitting allocations across large, mid, and small-cap US equities, alongside a select number of international listings. The portfolio tends to be concentrated, illustrating a high-conviction strategy rather than an effort to achieve broad market replication. Employing this valuation-driven methodology, the fund's objective is to foster long-term capital appreciation while actively working to mitigate the potential for permanent investment losses.
