NEW YORK NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Eagle Investments' actively managed ETF platform has exceeded $3 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of May 12th, 2026, less than 18 months after its launch, underscoring accelerating investor adoption of active equity ETFs. Year-to-date inflows, led by global strategies, have already matched full-year 2025 totals in less than half the time, as investors increasingly turn to active, valuation-driven strategies amid elevated market concentration.

Strong gold and copper prices drove cash flows during the quarter, and operating leverage was enhanced by resumed gold production in Mali.

Risk assets in general capped off a strong year with a solid fourth quarter. In contrast with recent trends, non-US equity markets led the way in 2025. Equity market valuation multiples are rich, high yield spreads are tight and implied volatility is low. Spending on data centers and other AI infrastructure by hyperscalers is forecast to continue, but its current rate of growth is unsustainable absent some other sources of financing.

After debuting its first ETFs in late 2024, First Eagle Investments just added two more funds to its growing active ETF lineup with the First Eagle Mid Cap Equity ETF (FEMD) and the First Eagle US Equity ETF (USFE). Per a press release, the firm has already accumulated $1.
