Investment Philosophy

The Overseas Equity ETF philosophy reflects the teachings of Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett. We believe there is a persistent market failure to recognize a company’s “intrinsic value.” The Fund attempts to exploit this failure on behalf of our investors through a bottom-up, fundamental investment approach.

  • Seeking Resilient Wealth Creation

    The team builds long-term-oriented portfolios that seek to persevere across disparate market conditions and in the face of periodic challenges.

  • Scarcity-Driven Selectivity

    The team focuses on persistent businesses that possess scarce assets, sound balance sheets and prudent management teams, and invests in these companies only when they are trading at a discount to our calculation of intrinsic value.

  • Experienced Approach to Global Value Investment

    Access to the Global Value team’s experience in stock picking as a pioneer in global value investing since 1979.

Our Process

The Fund looks for opportunities in companies that have temporarily disappointed investors; industries in turmoil or out of favor; and countries in economic downturns or overlooked by the market.

The investment process involves the following steps:

  • 01

    Analyze, Understand Business Models

    Thoroughly understand a company and the market in which it operates. Among other critical factors, the team’s document-driven analysis examines:

    • A company’s market share
    • The nature of its products and its business contingencies
  • 02

    Recast Financial Statements

    Financial statements are recast because:

    • Conservative accounting practices can mask the true earnings power of a company
    • In our view, accounting practices are sometimes too liberal
    • Our goal is to uncover a company’s true economic earnings using only demonstrated results.
  • 03

    Calculate Intrinsic Value

    The team places great emphasis on:

    • Balance sheet valuation (such as Enterprise Value to Asset Replacement Value)
    • Cash flow valuation (such as EV/EBIT)
    • Investments are made based on significant discounts to what is believed to be a company’s intrinsic value.
  • 04

    Typically Invest for the Long Term

    The team typically seeks a discount to what they believe is a company’s intrinsic value:

    • They seek further downside mitigation by determining a “margin of safety” in each holding
    • This “margin of safety” is viewed as a form of risk mitigation against uncertainty in a fundamentally unknowable future.
  1. Disclosures

  2. “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.

  3. First Eagle defines "margin of safety" as the difference between a company's market price and our estimate of its intrinsic value. An investment made with a margin of safety is no guarantee against loss.

  4. One cannot invest directly in an index. Indices do not incur management fees or other operating expenses.

  5. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. 

    Investments involve risk. Principal loss is possible. 

  6. Definitions

  7. Active Share: measures the percentage of a fund’s portfolio holdings differing from its benchmark. Active share can range from 0% (index fund) to 100% (no commonality with the benchmark index).

    Distribution Rate: The amount of a fund’s most recent distribution divided by the fund’s current market price, then multiplied by the number of distribution payments made in a 12-month period.

    Distribution Yield: The distribution yield of a security is calculated by dividing the distributions paid (yearly, monthly, etc.) by its cost or net asset value. Distribution yield can be used as a measure of investment cash flow provided by an investment relative to the cost paid for that investment.

    Dividend Yield: A financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price.

    Median 30 Day Spread Percentage: The difference between the bid price for a security and its ask (or offer) price. It represents the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for a security and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept.

    Net Asset Value (NAV): The per share value of a mutual fund, found by subtracting the fund's liabilities from its assets and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Mutual funds calculate their NAVs at least once a day.

    Premium/Discount Percentage: The difference between the daily market price of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). The daily market price is calculated using the mid-point between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time).

    Price-to-Book Ratio (“P/B Ratio”): A weighted average ratio used to compare a stock's market value to its book value. It is calculated by dividing the current price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share.

    Price-To-Cash-Flow Ratio: A weighted average measure of the market's expectations of a firm's future financial health. Because this measure deals with cash flow, the effects of depreciation and other non-cash factors are removed. Like the price-earnings ratio, this measure provides an indication of relative value.

    Price-to-Earnings Ratio (“P/E Ratio”): A weighted average current share price of a stock divided by its earnings per share.

    SEC Yield: The SEC yield is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The SEC yield is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The formula is based on maximum offering price per share. The Fund does not include fee waivers. This is also referred to as the "standardized yield", “30-Day Yield” and “Current Yield”.

    Sharpe Ratio: A measure that uses standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The greater a fund’s Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been.

    Standard Deviation: Standard deviation of returns measures the average a return series deviates from its mean. It is often used as a measure of risk. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance implies greater volatility.

    Taxable Distribution Rate: The portion of dividends or capital gains paid out by a fund that is subject to individual taxation. 

    MSCI EAFE Index (Net): measures the performance of large and midcap securities across 21 developed markets countries around the world excluding the US and Canada. A net-return index tracks price changes and reinvestment of distribution income net of withholding taxes.

    Beta is a measure of the fund's volatility (risk) relative to the overall market. The higher the fund's Beta, the more the fund price is expected to change in response to a given change in the value of the market.

    Investments involve risk. Principal loss is possible. 

  1. Definitions

  2. Active Share: measures the percentage of a fund’s portfolio holdings differing from its benchmark. Active share can range from 0% (index fund) to 100% (no commonality with the benchmark index).

    Distribution Rate: The amount of a fund’s most recent distribution divided by the fund’s current market price, then multiplied by the number of distribution payments made in a 12-month period.

    Distribution Yield: The distribution yield of a security is calculated by dividing the distributions paid (yearly, monthly, etc.) by its cost or net asset value. Distribution yield can be used as a measure of investment cash flow provided by an investment relative to the cost paid for that investment.

    Dividend Yield: A financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price.

    Median 30 Day Spread Percentage: The difference between the bid price for a security and its ask (or offer) price. It represents the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for a security and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept.

    Net Asset Value (NAV): The per share value of a mutual fund, found by subtracting the fund's liabilities from its assets and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. Mutual funds calculate their NAVs at least once a day.

    Premium/Discount Percentage: The difference between the daily market price of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). The daily market price is calculated using the mid-point between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time).

    Price-to-Book Ratio (“P/B Ratio”): A weighted average ratio used to compare a stock's market value to its book value. It is calculated by dividing the current price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share.

    Price-To-Cash-Flow Ratio: A weighted average measure of the market's expectations of a firm's future financial health. Because this measure deals with cash flow, the effects of depreciation and other non-cash factors are removed. Like the price-earnings ratio, this measure provides an indication of relative value.

    Price-to-Earnings Ratio (“P/E Ratio”): A weighted average current share price of a stock divided by its earnings per share.

    SEC Yield: The SEC yield is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The SEC yield is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The formula is based on maximum offering price per share. The Fund does not include fee waivers. This is also referred to as the "standardized yield", “30-Day Yield” and “Current Yield”.

    Sharpe Ratio: A measure that uses standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The greater a fund’s Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been.

    Standard Deviation: Standard deviation of returns measures the average a return series deviates from its mean. It is often used as a measure of risk. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance implies greater volatility.

    Taxable Distribution Rate: The portion of dividends or capital gains paid out by a fund that is subject to individual taxation. 

    MSCI EAFE Index (Net): measures the performance of large and midcap securities across 21 developed markets countries around the world excluding the US and Canada. A net-return index tracks price changes and reinvestment of distribution income net of withholding taxes.

    Beta is a measure of the fund's volatility (risk) relative to the overall market. The higher the fund's Beta, the more the fund price is expected to change in response to a given change in the value of the market.

Investment Process

The Fund looks for opportunities in companies that have temporarily disappointed investors; industries in turmoil or out of favor; and countries in economic downturns or overlooked by the market. 

The investment process involves the following steps:

  • 01

    Analyze, Understand Business Models


    Thoroughly understand a company and the market in which it operates. Among other critical factors, the team's document-driven analysis examines:

    • A company's market share. 
    • The nature of its products and its business contingencies
  • 02

    Recast Financial Statements


    Financial statements are recast because:

    • Conservative accounting practices can mask the true earnings power of a company
    • In our view, accounting practices are sometimes too liberal

    Our goal is to uncover a company's true economic earnings using only demonstrated results.

  • 03

    Calculate Intrinsic Value

    The team places great emphasis on:

    • Balance sheet valuation (such as Enterprise Value to Asset Replacement Value)
    • Cash flow valuation (such as EV/EBIT)
    • Investments are made based on significant discounts to what is believed to be a company's intrinsic value.
  • 04

    Typically Invest for the Long Term

    The team typically seeks a discount to what they believe is a company's intrinsic value

    • They seek further downside mitigation by determining a “margin of safety” in each holding
    • This “margin of safety” is viewed as a form of risk mitigation against uncertainty in a fundamentally unknowable future.

    1. Risk Disclosures

      All investments involve the risk of loss of principal.

      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.

      The Fund will invest in 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 holder of a smaller company's securities, also may be more difficult or expensive to trade. The Fund defines mid-cap companies as those that have at the time of investment a market capitalization not greater than that of the largest company in the Russell Mid Cap® Index.

      “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.

      The Fund may hold foreign securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some Foreign Custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. The Fund may invest in foreign investments (including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”)). Foreign 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.

    2. The information is not intended to provide and should not be relied on for accounting or tax advice.  Any tax information presented is not intended to constitute an analysis of all tax considerations.

      This information does not represent a solicitation of any order to buy or sell a security mentioned herein. Nothing here constitutes investment advice or insight as to the merits of any security or investment strategy mentioned herein.
