First Eagle Investments adds Private Credit Strategy to the Schwab Alternative Investment OneSource® Platform

The First Eagle Private Credit Fund is now available on the Schwab Alternative Investment OneSource® Platform

New York, August 5, 2025— First Eagle Investments (“First Eagle”) is pleased to announce the recent addition of the First Eagle Private Credit Fund (“FEPCF”) to the Schwab Alternative Investment OneSource Platform.  FEPCF builds on the success of prior vehicles from First Eagle offering retail investors access to alternative credit assets.

The Schwab Alternative Investment OneSource platform provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of non-listed alternative investments issued by well-known asset managers and offers streamlined execution, consolidated reporting and no annual custody fee.

“Private credit offers a differentiated source of current income, diversification from traditional fixed income and the potential for resilience across market cycles," said Frank Riccio, Head of US Wealth Solutions at First Eagle. "We are excited to provide the RIA community access to strategies typically reserved for institutional investors.”

FEPCF offers individual investors access to First Eagle’s $5 billion-plus direct lending strategy focused on directly originated, senior-secured, floating-rate loans to US lower and core middle market companies, aligning with the firm’s commitment to disciplined credit management and effective capital deployment.

This addition marks the first offering from First Eagle to be added to the Schwab Alternative Investment OneSource platform.

The information contained in this Press Release is being made available solely for information purposes. Any potential investors are urged to carefully read the applicable offering documentation and other materials in their entirety before making an investment decision.

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. All investments involve the risk of loss of principal.

Diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss.

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 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 period from the effective date of the registration statement relating to this offering through June 30, 2025, 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. Certain companies may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of our realizing any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment. In addition, they typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns.
•    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. 

Investors should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
