Example

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Real Assets Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This hypothetical example assumes you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem all shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes the average annual return is 5% and operating expenses remain the same (except that the fee waiver is taken into account only for the one-year expense example). Please keep in mind your actual costs may be higher or lower.


Share Status	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Class A
Sold or Held		$607		$1,614		$2,620		$5,124
Class I
Sold or Held		$87		$1,101		$2,117		$4,671
Class R6
Sold or Held		$87		$1,108		$2,132		$4,700

Portfolio Turnover Rate

The Real Assets Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example above, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Real Assets Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 40.98% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

To achieve its objective of long-term capital growth, the Real Assets Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in a variety of assets believed by the Adviser to represent interests in “real assets” or “real asset” industries. It is anticipated that the Fund will primarily invest in equity securities (including convertible securities) of U.S. and foreign companies, with the balance invested in precious metals and related securities, cash and cash equivalents (such as Treasury bills), fixed income securities including inflation-linked fixed income securities (such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities or “TIPS”) and debt instruments that are below investment grade, commonly known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. “Real assets,” in which the Fund will invest, include physical assets and assets that are otherwise recognized as stores of value, such as gold bullion or other precious metals, certain commodities and inflation-linked fixed income securities. While the Fund has no current intention to make direct investment in real estate, land or equipment, it will target the industries of companies that are related to these assets (e.g., real estate investment trusts, developers and construction businesses, real estate finance companies, real estate brokerages and other related businesses, such as home improvement and home furnishings retailers). Specifically, “real asset” industries are those that relate to ownership or production of such assets or products or services otherwise supporting such assets. These industries may include basic materials, industrials, chemicals, energy, infrastructure, real estate, and utilities, as well as related suppliers and similarly connected businesses such as businesses within the telecommunications, health care, automobile and consumer staples sectors or industries. The strategy seeks to preserve flexibility to shift allocations modestly among sectors and asset classes to invest where the Adviser believes the market offers the most appropriate risk-reward opportunities at any given time, within the above framework. Real assets are generally thought to perform well in periods of rising or high inflation, as compared to a broader equity portfolio.

Investment decisions for the Fund are made without regard to the capitalization (size) of the companies in which it invests. The Fund may invest in any size company, including large, medium and smaller companies. The Fund may also invest in debt instruments (e.g., notes and bonds) without regard to credit rating or time to maturity, short-term debt instruments, futures contracts related to precious metals, forward contracts related to foreign exchange and options on equity securities or indices. The Fund “counts” relevant derivative positions towards its “80% of assets” allocation and, in doing so, values each position at the price at which it is held on the Fund’s books (generally market price, but anticipates valuing each such position for purposes of assessing compliance with this test at notional value in connection with new rules requiring that treatment, which come into effect in 2025). Under normal circumstances, the Fund anticipates it will allocate a portion of its assets to foreign investments (including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”)). The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages to any particular countries, but normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States). The countries in which the Fund may invest may include countries whose economies are still developing (sometimes called “emerging markets”). Through its investments in “real assets” or “real asset” industries, the Fund will be invested in a number of different countries, which may include Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

The investment philosophy and strategy of the Fund can be broadly characterized as a “value” approach, as it generally seeks a “margin of safety” in its investment purchases with the goal being to avoid permanent impairment of capital (as opposed to temporary losses in share value relating to shifting investor sentiment or other normal share price volatility). In particular, a discount to “intrinsic value” is sought even for the best of businesses, with a deeper discount demanded for companies that we view as under business model, balance sheet, management or other stresses. “Intrinsic value” is based on our judgment of what a prudent and rational business buyer would pay in cash for all of the company in normal markets. See also the Defensive Investment Strategies section of the Fund’s Prospectus.

The Fund makes some investments through a special purpose trading subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) and may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the Fund, organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company. Generally, the Subsidiary will invest in commodities and related instruments, including derivatives (e.g., gold bullion and other precious metals and related futures, and commodities-related derivatives contracts).

Principal Investment Risks

As with any mutual fund investment, you may lose money by investing in the Real Assets Fund. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time. An investment in the Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.

Principal risks of investing in the Real Assets Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value and total return, are:

•

Market Risk — The value and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to the issuers or markets in which the Fund invests, as well as economic, political, or social events in the United States or abroad. Markets may be volatile, and prices of individual securities and other investments, including those of a particular type, may decline significantly and rapidly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Recent market conditions and events, including a global public health crisis, wars and armed conflicts and actions taken by governments in response, may exacerbate volatility. Rapid changes in prices or liquidity, which often are not anticipated and can relate to events not connected to particular investments, may limit the ability of the Fund to dispose of its assets at the price or time of its choosing and can result in losses. Changes in prices may be temporary or may last for extended periods.

•

Equity Risk — The value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to the risk that the prices of equity securities, including common stock, rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than debt securities.

•

Convertible Security Risk — Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality. Convertible securities may gain or lose value due to changes in the issuer’s operating results, financial condition, credit rating and changes in interest rates and other general economic, industry and market conditions.

•

Foreign Investment Risk — The Fund may invest in foreign investments (including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”)). Foreign

Summary Prospectus | March 1, 2025

investments, which can be denominated in any applicable foreign currency, are susceptible to less politically, economically and socially stable environments, foreign currency and exchange rate changes, and adverse changes to government regulations. While depositary receipts provide an alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their respective national markets and currencies, investments in ADRs, GDRs and EDRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign investments. The Fund’s investments may subject it to the risks associated with investing in the European markets, including the risks associated with the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.

•

Emerging Market Risk — Investments in emerging market countries are subject to greater risk and overall volatility than investments in the U.S. and other developed markets. Emerging market countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, less developed legal and regulatory regimes, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. In addition to the risks associated with investing outside the U.S., emerging markets are more susceptible to governmental interference, political and economic uncertainty, local taxes and restrictions on the fund’s investments, less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity, and more volatile currency exchange rates.

•

Geographic Investment Risk — To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region. While the Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages to any particular countries, it normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States). The Fund reserves the right to dynamically allocate its assets across countries and regions. Listed below are some of the geographies to which the Fund has significant exposure as of the date of this Prospectus.

Canada Risk — The Canadian economy is susceptible to adverse changes in certain commodities markets, including those related to the mining and agricultural industries. It is also heavily dependent on trading with key partners. Any reduction in this trading may adversely affect the Canadian economy. Recent political developments in the United States have raised potential implications for the current trade arrangements between the United States and Canada, which could negatively affect the value of Canadian securities.

European Risk — The Fund’s investments may subject it to the risks associated with investing in the European markets, including the risks associated with the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (“Brexit”) and the war in Ukraine. Investments in a single region, even though representing a number of different countries within the region, may be affected by common economic forces and other factors. Further, political or economic disruptions in European countries, even in countries in which the Fund is not invested, may adversely affect security values and thus the Fund’s holdings. The impact of Brexit on the United Kingdom and European economies is still not fully understood, but could result in increased volatility and illiquidity and lower economic growth for companies that rely significantly on the United Kingdom and/or Europe for their business activities and revenues. Any further exits from the European Union, or an increase in the belief that such exits are likely or possible, would likely cause additional market disruption globally and introduce new legal and regulatory uncertainties. Recent political developments in the United States have raised potential implications for the current trade arrangements between the United States and Europe, which could negatively affect the value of European securities.

Mexico Risk — The Mexican economy is dependent upon external trade with other economies, specifically with the United States and certain Latin American countries. Mexico is an emerging market and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets. Mexico is dependent on, among other things, the U.S. economy and any change in the price or demand for Mexican exports may have an adverse impact on the Mexican economy. Recent political developments in the United States have raised potential implications for the current trade arrangements between the United States and Mexico, which could negatively affect the value of Mexican securities.

•

Real Assets Companies Risk — The Fund will invest in companies operating in various industries related to real assets. To the extent there is a downturn in one or more of these industries, there would be a larger impact on the Fund than if the Fund’s portfolio were more broadly diversified. Factors that may affect these industries include, but are not limited to, government regulation or deregulation, energy conservation and supply/ demand, raw material prices, commodities regulation, cost of transport, cost of labor, interest rates, and broad economic developments such as growth or contraction in different markets, currency valuation changes and central bank movements.

•

Inflation/Deflation Risk — Although the Fund is intended to provide a measure of protection against inflation, it is possible it will not do so to the extent intended. The Fund’s investments may be adversely affected to a greater extent than other investments during periods of deflation.

•

Natural Resources Risk — The Fund may invest in securities of companies that focus on natural resources. The securities of these companies may be negatively affected by a variety of factors, including but not limited to, natural disasters in natural resource areas, commodity price volatility, government regulations, conservation efforts and other global political and economic developments.

•

Commodity Investments Risk — The Fund may invest in commodities-related businesses and instruments. Commodities generally can be more volatile than other types of assets. Factors that affect the volatility of commodities include, but are not limited to, commodity price movements (whether of individual commodities or indexes or other instruments linked to commodities, changes in demand, costs of transport, interest rate changes, natural disasters and extreme weather changes, and regulatory developments, such as embargoes and tariffs.

•

Energy Risk — The Fund may invest in energy companies, which may be negatively affected by natural disasters, the high investment costs of exploration and other long-term projects, maintenance costs (and risks of obsolescence) associated with significant fixed assets, commodity prices, government regulations, and conservation efforts, among other factors.

•

Infrastructure Risk — The Fund may invest in securities of companies that focus on infrastructure related activities, including utilities and transport companies. These securities are subject to various related risks, including but not limited to, supply and demand for infrastructure related services, the high investment costs of long-term projects, maintenance costs (and risks of obsolescence) associated with significant fixed assets, political developments, changing interest rates which may affect infrastructure financing, regulatory changes and catastrophic weather events.

•

Environmental and Climate Risk — Real asset companies and industries can be especially exposed to environmental risks, including climate change. These include, but are not limited to, environmental pollution and degradation (with potentially significant remediation costs); major weather events such as storms, droughts and wildfires; geographic and sector risks (with, for example, different regions and industries being subject to widely different levels of natural disaster and climate risk); weather pattern changes; expansion or contraction of growing seasons; company-level risks associated with differential levels of company-specific exposure and preparedness; economic risks associated with, for example, supply chain disruption, supply and demand imbalances and price shocks, infrastructure impacts and the like; commodities risks; geopolitical risks; political, regulatory and government intervention risks; and consumer sentiment risks, including the risk of boycotts and similar organized action.

•

Real Estate Industry Risk — The Fund may invest in securities of companies that focus on real estate related activities. Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are an example, as are developers and construction businesses, real estate finance companies, real estate brokerages and other related businesses, such as home improvement and home furnishings retailers. Real estate and its related businesses are highly dependent on market conditions, including interest rates. Other real estate industry risks include competition, property obsolescence and casualty risks (such as fire, flood and the like). REITs are subject special risks including the quality and skill of REIT management and the internal expenses of the REIT. Many types of businesses, including hotels, hospitals, agriculture and forestry, are significant owners and operators of real estate and can be directly or indirectly exposed to similar risks in addition to their own more sector-specific risks. Real estate income and values may be negatively affected by general and local economic developments such as extended vacancies of properties, as well as demographic trends, such as population movement or changing tastes and values. Real estate income and values also may be negatively affected by condemnations, tax law changes, zoning law changes, regulatory limits on rent, environmental regulations and the availability of mortgage financing and changes in interest rates.

First Eagle Global Real Assets Fund

•

Utilities Industry Risk — The Fund may invest in securities of companies in the utilities sector. Securities in the utilities industry can be volatile and affected significantly by supply and demand for services or fuel, government regulation, including rate regulations and conversation programs, commodity price volatility, interest rate changes and other financing considerations. Additionally, climate change or man-made disasters may have a catastrophic impact on existing plants and equipment of utility companies.

•

Telecommunications Industry Risk — The Fund may invest in telecommunications companies. Telecommunication companies are primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing or provision of communications services or equipment, including cable, satellite, radio, telephone and communication mediums. Risks associated with telecommunications companies include government regulation of rates and prices, anti-trust considerations, competition, rapid obsolescence and changes in consumer tastes.

•

Health Care Sector Risk — The Fund may invest in companies in the health care sector, including health care facility companies. Health care companies are subject to federal, state and local oversight regarding, as an example, licensing, certification, pharmaceutical distribution and provision of care. Health care companies are also dependent on the continued availability of government reimbursement programs (Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security) for revenues.

•

Automobile Industry Risk — The Fund may invest in the automobile industry, including automobile component manufacturing companies. The securities of automobile companies may be negatively affected by labor relations and costs, automotive technology developments (including autonomous vehicles) and consumer preferences. The automobile and automobile component sector may also be subject to significant government regulation, including tariffs, taxes, subsidies, import and export restrictions and environmental regulations.

•

Consumer Staples Sector Risk — The Fund may invest in securities of companies in the consumer staples sector, including grocery stores and agricultural producers. The consumer staples sector may be negatively affected by demographic shifts, consumer preferences, costs of labor, environmental considerations and commodity price fluctuations. Domestic and foreign government regulations on agricultural production and trade also may affect the consumer staples sector.

•

Small and Medium-Size Company Risk — The Fund may invest in small and medium-size companies, the securities of which can be more volatile in price than those of larger companies. Positions in smaller companies, especially when the Fund is a large holders of a small company’s securities, also may be more difficult or expensive to trade. The Fund considers small companies to be companies with market capitalizations of less than $1 billion and medium-sized companies to have market capitalizations of less than $10 billion.

•

Large-Size Company Risk — The Fund may invest in larger, more established companies, the securities of which may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. The Fund considers large companies to be companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or greater.

•

Gold Risk — The Fund may invest in both physical gold and the securities of companies in the gold mining sector. Prices of gold-related issues are susceptible to changes in U.S. and foreign regulatory policies, taxes, currencies, mining laws, inflation, and various other market conditions. Gold-related investments as a group have not performed as well as the stock market in general during periods when the U.S. dollar is strong, inflation is low and general economic conditions are stable. In addition, returns on gold-related investments have traditionally been more volatile than investments in broader equity or debt markets.

•

Credit and Interest Rate Risk — The value of the Fund’s portfolio may fluctuate in response to the risk that the issuer of a bond or other instrument will not be able to make payments of interest and principal when due. The Fund may invest in debt instruments that are below investment grade, commonly known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, which are considered speculative, and carry a higher risk of default. In addition, fluctuations in interest rates can affect the value of debt instruments held by the Fund. A debt instrument’s “duration” is a way of measuring a debt instrument’s sensitivity to a potential change in interest rates. An increase in interest rates tends to reduce the market value of debt instruments, while a decline in interest rates tends to increase their values. Generally, debt instruments with long maturities and low coupons have the longest durations. Longer-duration instruments tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter durations. Recent market conditions and events, including increases in interest rates, may exacerbate the risk that borrowers will not be able to make payments of interest and principal when due. During periods of decreasing or prolonged low interest rates, financial markets in which the Fund invests could be negatively affected by, for example, increased volatility, reduced value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and perceptions of broader economic decline. In addition, there is risk of significant future rate moves and related economic and market impacts. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of an issuer’s securities.

•

Derivatives Risk — Futures contracts or other “derivatives,” including hedging strategies, present risks related to their significant price volatility and risk of default by the counterparty to the contract. Derivatives are anticipated to be used mainly under a hedging program intended to reduce the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on the Fund’s value. A futures contract is considered a derivative because it derives its value from the price of the underlying security or financial index. The prices of futures contracts can be volatile, and futures contracts may lack liquidity. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of a futures contract and the price of the underlying securities or financial index.

•

Options Risk — The Fund may engage in various options transactions in which the Fund may seek to gain exposure to an underlying investment or limit risk by purchasing the right to buy or sell, or by selling the obligation to buy or sell, a security at a set price in the future. The Fund pays a premium when buying options and receives a premium when selling options. When trading options, the Fund may incur losses or forego otherwise realizable gains if market prices do not move as expected.

•

Currency Risk — Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to that of the U.S. dollar and affect the Fund’s non-U.S. currencies or securities that trade in and receive revenue in non-U.S. currencies.

•

Value Investment Strategy Risk — An investment made at a perceived “margin of safety” or “discount to intrinsic or fundamental value” can trade at prices substantially lower than when an investment is made, so that any perceived “margin of safety” or “discount to value” is no guarantee against loss. “Value” investments, as a category, or entire industries or sectors associated with such investments, may lose favor with investors as compared to those that are more “growth” oriented. In such an event, the Fund’s investment returns would be expected to lag relative to returns associated with more growth-oriented investment strategies. Investing in or having exposure to “value” securities presents the risk that such securities may never reach what the Adviser believes are their full market values.

•

Subsidiary Risk — By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/ or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as expected and could adversely affect the Fund.

•

Cybersecurity Risk — The occurrence of a disaster such as a cyber-attack, a natural catastrophe, an industrial accident, a terrorist attack or war, events unanticipated in the disaster recovery systems of the Fund and Adviser, or a support failure from external providers, could have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to conduct business and on its results of operations and financial condition, particularly if those events affect the Fund and/or the Adviser’s computer-based data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems or destroy data.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
