    As of March 31, 2025. Amounts shown reflect the fair value of invested capital, which includes any related unfunded delayed draw commitments and/or unfunded revolving credit facilities, and outstanding committed investor capital for any investment vehicles, partnerships, and separately managed accounts for which FEAC provides advisory services to. Certain investment vehicles managed by FEAC can enter into credit facilities which allow such investment vehicles to incur borrowings for investment purposes in excess of the committed investor capital.  The committed amount of such credit facilities, whether drawn or undrawn, may be included in the assets under management by FEAC.  For CLOs and related warehouses, the aggregate par value of the underlying collateral plus cash is included in the assets under management by FEAC.
    FEAC’s measure of AUM for these purposes may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.  This measure also differs from the manner in which FEAC is required to report “Regulatory Assets Under Management” on Form ADV and Form PF.

Fund Features

  • Current Income

    Seeks to generate income primarily via privately negotiated loans to US middle market corporate borrowers.1

  • Downside Mitigation

    Seeks senior secured loans to mitigate risk to lenders via contractual covenants and first recourse on borrowers’ assets.2

  • Evergreen Structure

    Continuously offered fund with monthly subscriptions and quarterly tenders at NAV.3

     

    † Evergreen Structure refers to the fund continually accepting additional capital and making new investments.

    FEPCF is a non-exchange traded business development company (“BDC”) that expects to invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments (loans and other credit instruments that are issued in private offerings or issued by private U.S. or non-U.S. companies). This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in FEPCF.

  1. * These are the actual fund operating expenses prior to the application of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The Advisers have agreed to waive all management, incentive and subadvisory fees payable to them under the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement through June 30, 2025 (the “Advisory Fee Waiver”). The Advisory Fee Waiver is not revocable during its term and amounts waived pursuant to the Advisory Fee Waiver will not be subject to any right of future recoupment in favor of FEIM and FEAC. 

    ** Class D and Class S listed as (With Upfront Placement Fee) reflect the returns after the maximum upfront placement fees that selling agents may charge (1.5% for Class D and 3.5% for Class S). Class D and Class S listed as (No Upfront Placement Fee) exclude upfront placement fees. Class I does not have upfront placement fees.

  1. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS and there can be no assurance that FEPCF will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses. Prior to June 6, 2024, FEPCF operated as a private BDC. Total Return for Class I shares includes FEPCF’s prior performance while operating as private BDC, which commenced its loan origination process and investment activities on July 10, 2023. Total Return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. All returns are derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all FEPCF expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, incentive fees, and share class specific fees but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Unless otherwise noted, returns are prior to the impact of any potential upfront placement fees. Inception to date Total Return has been annualized for periods less than or greater than one year. An investment in FEPCF is subject to a maximum upfront placement fee of 1.5% for Class D and 3.5% for Class S, which would reduce the amount of capital available for investment, if applicable. There are no upfront placement fees for Class I shares. Inception to date figures for Class I, Class D, and Class S shares use the initial offering price per share as the beginning NAV. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in FEPCF’s portfolios which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for FEPCF’s NAV. Valuations based on unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value, and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated. The payment of future distributions is subject to the discretion of FEPCF’s Board of Trustees, and there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions. Distributions are not guaranteed. Distributions may be funded through sources other than FEPCF’s cash flow. See FEPCF’s prospectus for more information and notices regarding distributions subject to Section 19(a), if applicable.

    You will bear substantial fees and expenses in connection with your investment. See “Fees and Expenses” in FEPCF's Prospectus.

1.  Distributes 90% of annual net income; expected distributions on a monthly basis. There is no assurance we will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. Any distributions we make will be at the discretion of our board of trustees. We may fund any distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and although we generally expect to fund distributions from cash flow from operations, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled.

2. FEPCF is subject to the risk of capital loss and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Loans may have fewer or no financial maintenance covenants and restrictions, particularly with respect to broadly syndicated loans, which typically results in a lender having less of an ability to proactively exercise rights and remedies as a result of financial performance until a payment default occurs. Loans may be secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral securing senior secured debt of a borrower. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from the sale of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligations secured by the second priority liens after payment in full of all obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral. See the Prospectus for additional information.

3. Quarterly tender offers are expected but not guaranteed. The Board of Trustees may amend, suspend or terminate these share repurchases in its discretion. An investment in Shares has limited or no liquidity outside of the share repurchase program. An investment in our Shares is only intended for investors who do not need the ability to sell Shares in the near future since we are not obligated to offer to repurchase any of our Shares in any particular quarter. Quarterly repurchases are generally limited to 5.0% of aggregate shares outstanding (either by number of shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. Shares not held for one year will be repurchased at 98% of NAV.

4. Fund Leverage Ratio represents the Fund’s debt-to-equity leverage ratio.

5. As a percentage of FEPCF’s investment portfolio based on fair value.

      1 We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital, or offering proceeds, and although we generally expect to fund distributions from cash flow from operations, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. A return of capital (1) is a return of the original amount invested, (2) does not constitute earnings or profits and (3) will have the effect of reducing the basis such that when a shareholder sells its shares the sale may be subject to taxes even if the shares are sold for less than the original purchase price. Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the investment adviser or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the investment adviser or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled

        Measured as the fair value of investments for each category versus fair value of all investments. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

          Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell securities. Based on total fair value of investment and cash/cash equivalents. Not a guarantee of future portfolio composition. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

          Short-Term, Cash & Cash Equivalents include short-term investments; e.g., short-term commercial paper (0.00% of net assets) that settles in [90] days or less, longer-term commercial paper (0.00% of net assets) that settles in [91] days or more, with the balance in US T-bills or money market funds.

           

            1. Weighted average spread above the applicable reference rate (i.e. SOFR, Base Rate, etc.) for the Direct Lending portfolio, weighted based on the fair value of each respective investment.

            2. Average adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the Direct Lending portfolio, weighted based on fair value of each respective investment. This calculation includes all Direct Lending investments for which fair value is determined by the Fund’s valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) and excludes quoted assets and ABL investments, as well as companies with negative or de minimis EBITDA. Amounts are derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, have not been independently estimated by the Fund, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Fund makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information.

            3. Average loan-to-value (“LTV”) represents the net ratio of loan-to value for each Direct Lending portfolio company, weighted based on the fair value of each respective investment. This calculation includes all Direct Lending investments for which fair value is determined by the Valuation Designee and excludes quoted assets and ABL investments. Loan-to-value is calculated as the current total net debt through each respective loan tranche divided by the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company. Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, have not been independently verified by the Fund, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Fund makes no representation or warranty in respect of the information.

            4. Average company leverage represents the leverage ratio for each Direct Lending portfolio company, weighted based on the fair value of each respective investment. This calculation includes all Direct Lending investments for which fair value is determined by the Valuation Designee and excludes quoted assets and ABL investments, as well as companies with negative or de minimis EBITDA. Company leverage is calculated as the current total debt as defined in the underlying applicable investment credit agreement through each respective loan tranche divided by the adjusted EBITDA as defined in the underlying applicable investment credit agreement of the portfolio company. Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, have not been independently verified by the Fund, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Fund makes no representation or warranty in respect of the information.

              1. FEPCF is a non-exchange traded business development company (“BDC”) that expects to invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments (loans and other credit instruments that are issued in private offerings or issued by private U.S. or non-U.S. companies). This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in FEPCF. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

                Summary of Risk Factors

                • We have limited prior operating history and there is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.

                • Our Board of Trustees (the "Board") may amend our third amended and restated agreement and declaration of trust (the “Declaration of Trust”) without prior shareholder approval.

                • The majority of our portfolio investments will be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by First Eagle Investment Management, LLC (the "Adviser"), as valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Board and under the oversight of the Board, and, as a result, there could be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.

                • Because subscriptions must be submitted at least five (5) business days prior to the first calendar day of each month, you will not know the NAV per share at which you will be subscribing at the time you subscribe.

                • You should not expect to be able to sell your common shares of beneficial interest (the "Common Shares") regardless of how we perform.

                • We do not intend to list our Common Shares on any securities exchange, and we do not expect a secondary market in our Common Shares to develop prior to any listing.

                • Because you may be unable to sell your Common Shares, your ability to reduce your exposure in any market downturn will be limited.

                • We intend to implement a share repurchase program, but only a limited number of Common Shares will be eligible for repurchase and repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions.

                • An investment in our Common Shares is not suitable for you if you need access to the money you invest in a specified time frame. See “Suitability Standards” and “Share Repurchase Program” in FEPCF's Prospectus.

                • You will bear substantial fees and expenses in connection with your investment. See “Fees and Expenses” in FEPCF's Prospectus.

                • We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do, we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and although we generally expect to fund distributions from cash flow from operations, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.

                • Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Adviser, First Eagle Alternative Credit, LLC ("FEAC") and, together with the Adviser, the "Advisers" or their affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Adviser, FEAC or their affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled. For the avoidance of doubt, the Advisers’ waiver of management, incentive and subadvisory fees for the six (6) months following the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to this offering is not subject to future recoupment in favor of the Advisers.

                • When we use leverage, the potential for loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us. Leverage may also adversely affect the return on our assets, reduce cash available for distribution to our shareholders and result in losses.

                • We may default under our credit facilities.

                •  Provisions in a credit facility may limit our investment discretion.

                • We qualify as an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Common Shares less attractive to investors.

                • Our investments in prospective private and middle market portfolio companies are risky, and we could lose all or part of our investment.

                • Our investments in lower credit quality obligations are risky and highly speculative, and we could lose all or part of our investment.

                • We may not be in a position to exercise control over our portfolio companies or to prevent decisions by management of our portfolio companies that could decrease the value of our investments.

                • The Advisers and their affiliates, senior management and employees have certain conflicts of interest, including with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities.

                • We may be obligated to pay the Adviser incentive compensation even if we incur a net loss due to a decline in the value of our portfolio.

                • If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could fail to qualify as a BDC or be precluded from investing according to our current business strategy, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, but not limited to, the tax status of any distributions.

Any oral or written predictions about the amount or certainty of any cash benefits or tax consequences that may result from an investment in our Common Shares is prohibited.
