The ETF.net USFE Grade
Score 40 of 100 sits in the C band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on USFE
CFirst Eagle built its name buying resilient businesses only at a discount to what they are worth. USFE puts that margin-of-safety discipline on US stocks, priced below most active rivals.
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.45% a year, well under the 0.65% median for active US equity funds in its peer group. Cheap freight for a stockpicker.
- Runs First Eagle's signature playbook: resilient companies with strong balance sheets and prudent management, bought only at a "margin of safety" to estimated intrinsic value.firsteagle.com
- A fully active, transparent 1940 Act fund whose stated goal is long-term growth of capital, extending an ETF lineup the firm started in late 2024.firsteagle.com
Worth knowing
- Launched in 2026, still small and thinly traded. Little live history to judge, and spreads can run wider than on a big index fund.
- The 0.45% is net of a contractual expense cap; the stated management fee is 0.79%. Check the current prospectus for how long the waiver runs.sec.govsec.gov
- Broad rivals like DFAU (0.12%) and AVLC (0.15%) cost a third as much. Here you pay for stockpicking and a value tilt that moves differently from the market.
