The Alternative Credit team combines a national presence with a strong regional focus to offer clients broad access to public and private alternative credit markets in the US. The highly experienced team presents a distinct combination of expertise across direct lending, middle-market club loans, syndicated loans, high yield bonds and asset-based loans.

Our Finance team is a key source of timely information and analysis delivered to a variety of users, from company management and the board of directors to clients and regulatory authorities. Consisting of multiple subgroups, the team’s wide-ranging responsibilities include financial reporting and forecasting, budget analysis, P&L statement oversight, regulatory and Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) compliance, security valuation and many others.

In pursuit of attractive real returns over time, the Global Value team employs a bottom-up, fundamental, benchmark-agnostic approach to portfolio construction that rests on four pillars: security selection, cash as deferred purchasing power, gold as a potential hedge and thoughtful currency management. Key to the Global Value team’s investment process is the distinct temperament of the professionals comprising it, characterized by patience, humility and flexibility.

The Human Resources team partners with the firm’s business lines and management to nurture an environment in which First Eagle colleagues are empowered to do their life’s best work. To this end, the team develops and implements policies and programs designed to attract a talented, inclusive workforce; promote professional development; and support our colleagues’ physical, mental and emotional welfare.

The Institutional team is responsible for delivering First Eagle’s differentiated investment solutions to institutional investors worldwide, both directly and through investment consultants, and servicing those clients on an ongoing basis.

The Small Cap team believes a disciplined approach executed by experienced investment professionals is critical in an asset class where increased volatility and inefficiency can provide opportunities for active investors. The team seeks to build diversified portfolios of stocks that not only are trading at a discount to what we believe to be their normalized valuations but also have a visible and fundamentally sound catalyst for price improvement.

The Technology & Operations team has broad responsibilities that significantly impact the day-to-day experience of First Eagle employees, external stakeholders and clients. The team develops and manages the technology infrastructure that supports First Eagle’s business activities, including everything from our phones and desktop computers to trading, settlement and reconciliation activities and client onboarding and reporting.
