**In relation to this strategy, risk is defined as the use of high yield securities rated below the highest rated category of non-investment grade. High yield bonds include those that carry rating such as Ba1/BB+ or lower by credit rating agencies. All high yield securities are considered "speculative" and are often referred to as "junk" bonds. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
***Prior to October 2011, results were achieved at a firm other than First Eagle. Portfolios are actively managed and subject to change.
