S&P Municipal Yield Index measures the performance of high yield and investment grade municipal bonds. Index constituents are market value-weighted and adjusted for credit rating and concentration limits.
S&P Short Duration Municipal Yield Index measures the performance of high yield and investment grade municipal bonds with duration range of one to 12 years maturity.
Indices are unmanaged and do not incur management fees or other operating expenses. One cannot invest directly in an index.
NAV (Net Asset Value) is the month ending price for the various share classes indicated.
30-day SEC Yield is a standard yield calculation developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the Fund's filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the Fund's expenses. This is also referred to as the 'standardized yield.' The number is then annualized. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund, and therefore may not be correlated with dividends and distributions paid. Had fees not been waived and or/expenses reimbursed, the SEC Yield would have been lower.
The Subsidized 30-Day SEC Yield includes contractual expense reimbursements and it would be lower without those reimbursements
The Unsubsidized 30-Day SEC Yield excludes contractual expense reimbursements
The Fund intends to declare income dividends daily and distribute them monthly at rates intended to maintain a more stable level of distributions than would result from paying out amounts solely based on current net investment income by paying out less than all of its net investment income or paying out undistributed income from prior months (with any potential remaining deficiencies characterized as a return of capital at year end). The distributions might not be made in equal amounts, and one month's distribution may be larger than another. Distribution rate presented excludes any special dividends and indicates the annual rate received if the most recent monthly distribution paid (for each class) was the same for an entire year. The rate represents a distribution and does not represent the total return of the Fund. Because the distribution rate is annualized from a single month's distribution, investors would not necessarily receive this rate amount in a given year. The rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent monthly distribution paid for each class and dividing it by that class's NAV on the last day of the month.
Risk Disclosures:
First Eagle High Yield Municipal Fund
The Fund's investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer's bond counsel and, in the case of derivative securities, sponsors' counsel, that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued, and neither the Fund nor the Adviser will independently review the bases for those tax opinions. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the 'IRS'), and if any of those tax opinions are ultimately determined to be incorrect or if events occur after the security is acquired that impact the security's tax-exempt status, the Fund and its shareholders could be subject to substantial tax liability for the current or past years and shareholders may have to file amended tax returns and pay additional taxes, interest and penalties. In addition, an IRS assertion of taxability may impair the liquidity and the fair market value of the securities. If you redeem Fund shares or exchange them for shares of another Fund, you generally will be treated as having sold your shares and any gain on the transaction will be subject to tax.
Funds that invest in bonds are subject to interest-rate risk and can lose principal value when interest rates rise, while they typically increase their principal values when interest rates decline. Bonds are also subject to credit risk, in which the bond issuer may fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perception of the issuer's ability to make such payments may cause the price of that bond to decline.
The Fund may invest in high yield, fixed income securities that, at the time of purchase, are non-investment grade. High yield, lower rated securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than high rated fixed income securities. High yield securities are rated lower than investment-grade securities because there is a greater possibility that the issuer may be unable to make interest and principal payments on those securities. High yield securities involve greater risk than higher rated securities and portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than portfolios that do not.
Municipal bonds are subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and call risk. However, the obligations of some municipal issuers may not be enforceable through the exercise of traditional creditors' rights. The reorganization under federal bankruptcy laws of a municipal bond issuer may result in the bonds being cancelled without payment or repaid only in part, or in delays in collecting principal and interest.
All investments involve the risk of loss of principal.
Diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss.

What Next as Ether Zooms 7%, DOGE Leads Majors Gains Amid Bitcoin Euphoria
Ether posted a sharp 7% gain in the past 24 hours as bitcoin's steady climb past $109,000 boosted an otherwise flat crypto market. Dogecoin added over 5% to trade near 19 cents as of Asian afternoon hours Tuesday, while Cardano's ADA rose more than 5% as risk appetite returned after last week's volatility. Overall market capitalization rose more than 3%, with the broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20) adding 4%. The rebound came as traders continued to digest the latest US-China trade developments and braced for key inflation data this week that could set the tone for interest rate expectations. 'Bitcoin surged to around $110K as US-China trade talks resumed while the SEC greenlights new crypto ETFs, giving investors a renewed bullish sentiment,' said Augustine Fan, Head of Insights at SignalPlus, in an email to CoinDesk. 'We anticipate a continuation of the bullish trends as crypto attracts more institutions and retail investors with innovations and competitive returns.' Kay Lu, CEO of HashKey Eco Labs, said the market's reaction to the Trump-Musk spat last week may have been overdone. 'We're seeing some market recovery as fundamentals remain strong,' Lu said. 'The CPI data on Wednesday could be a key catalyst for price moves.' Meanwhile, Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, warned that the current cycle may not be straightforward. 'We're seeing more options for investors to get crypto exposure, whether through ETFs, corporate treasuries, or stablecoin issuers,' Mei said. 'This cycle will be more nuanced as crypto matures as a macro asset class.' Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, noted that Bitcoin's price action above $109,000 showed resilience in the face of mixed signals. 'Bitcoin's climb amid geopolitical and macro headwinds reinforces its standing as a macro asset class,' Ruck said. 'ETF momentum has put crypto back on the radar for mainstream investors.'

Bitcoin: US-China Talk Optimism, Institutional Buying May Spark Retest of ATHs
US regulatory signals and trade stability are supporting crypto market growth. Bitcoin is near $111,000, driven by institutional interest and short closures. SEC's supportive crypto stance continues to fuel optimism. Looking for actionable trade ideas to navigate the current market volatility? Subscribe here to unlock access to InvestingPro's AI-selected stock winners. The crypto market is seeing positive growth due to signals from US regulators, stable international trade conditions, and the return of big investors. Recently, Bitcoin hit a value of $110,000 after briefly dropping to $100,000 last week. The cryptocurrency started the week strong, moving towards $110,000 and has been growing steadily since April. A major reason for this growth is the renewed interest from large investors. On Monday, spot Bitcoin ETFs received $386 million, mainly from Fidelity Wise (LON:WISEa) Origin Bitcoin Fund (NYSE:FBTC), showing that market confidence is returning after recent outflows. Another reason for the price increase is the closure of short positions in futures markets. Closing about $38 million worth of short positions helped push prices up, and a large purchase of 1,045 BTC (around $110 million) indicates that investor interest is on the rise. Globally, the ongoing trade talks between the US and China in London are gaining attention. Their willingness to cooperate in key areas like rare earth elements and semiconductors is boosting global investor confidence and encouraging interest in alternative assets like Bitcoin. Additionally, the market's anticipation of upcoming US inflation data is causing a shift towards riskier assets. In the US, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins' supportive stance on crypto is being well-received by the market. His defense of personal control over crypto assets and his suggestion for an "innovation exemption" for DeFi platforms are creating optimism that regulatory pressure might ease. As a result, Bitcoin is gaining strength not only from technical factors but also from political and institutional support. In the last week of May and the first week of June, Bitcoin experienced a dip, falling below $103,000. However, it quickly rebounded as buyers returned around the $100,000 mark. Since May, Bitcoin has been in a consolidation phase, with ongoing volatility. As of this week, it has maintained the positive momentum seen over the past three months and is approaching the $111,000 mark, which is close to a record level. Bitcoin might reach a new record this week, depending on current market conditions. According to technical indicators like the Stochastic RSI, the upward trend is likely to continue. Bitcoin's price is above its short and medium-term moving averages on the daily chart, suggesting it is in a positive position. If Bitcoin can remain in the $111,000 to $114,000 range and buyers manage to overcome any selling pressure, the next target levels could be $119,000 and then $125,000. However, if Bitcoin faces strong resistance around $111,000, there might be an increase in profit-taking, potentially causing the price to drop back to around $105,000. If Bitcoin manages to find support between $103,000 and $105,000, a stronger upward trend could develop. Current macroeconomic factors and market risk appetite might continue to support Bitcoin's rise, but it's important to keep an eye on the support zone during any potential pullbacks. Ethereum is one of the assets directly benefiting from Bitcoin's rise. After finding support around the $2,430 mark last week, ETH saw an increase of over 10% and reached the upper limit of its trading range. For the past month, Ethereum has been fluctuating between $2,430 and $2,730, and it continues in this range thanks to strong institutional demand. Interest in Ethereum ETFs is strong, and on-chain data shows a significant increase in interest, with the number of weekly active wallets hitting an all-time high of 17.4 million. This indicates that both individual and institutional buyers are becoming more active on the network. Additionally, a record 34.8 million ETH is locked up, suggesting that investors are choosing to stake rather than sell. This suggests the market may be entering another accumulation phase. SEC Chairman Atkins' recent statements at the DeFi meeting on June 9 clarified that staking activities won't be classified as securities, a key legal development for Ethereum. This may speed up the approval process for ETFs with staking features. For instance, BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETHA has been steadily accumulating ETH for 23 consecutive trading days without any outflows, suggesting a strong base for ETH at its current levels over the medium to long term. Can Ethereum Breach $2,700 Resistance? Although the positive winds continue to blow for Ethereum, which leads the altcoin market, the cryptocurrency has not yet found enough support to overcome its resistance in the $ 2,700 region. After Ethereum rose to the $2,730 mark again earlier this week, it is seen that purchases have weakened at this point. However, the technical outlook continues to generate positive signals at the point of breaking this resistance level. According to the current outlook, a daily close above $2,730 or volume buying could quickly move ETH to the $3,000 region. Then the next target will be followed as the $ 3,400 area. In the lower region, if $ 2,700 cannot be passed, we may see a new swing towards $ 2,430. On this path, the range of $ 2,540-2,580 may appear as an intermediate support. As a result, Ethereum is likely to move quickly towards the exit direction from the $ 2,400-2,700 range. ****Be sure to check out InvestingPro to stay in sync with the market trend and what it means for your trading.
