"First Eagle Global Fund posted strong Q4 2025 returns but adopts a highly cautious stance, hedging against unsustainable US twin deficits and AI tech spend with low-beta equities and a 10.87% gold allocation."
In its Q4 2025 commentary, the First Eagle Global Fund reported a Q4 return of 5.35% (Class A without sales charge), outperforming the MSCI World Index. Despite strong year-end equity performance, the manager maintains a highly cautious stance due to deep macroeconomic risks. Key concerns include the tightening US 'double bind' of concurrent fiscal and current account deficits, alongside unsustainable AI-driven capital expenditures by hyperscalers that are expected to decelerate. Geopolitical issues are also on the rise, highlighted by US military actions in Venezuela. To manage these risks, the fund prioritizes low-correlation, high-quality, low-beta equities and holds a substantial 10.87% strategic allocation in gold bullion.
