Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
Board Considerations for Approval of Advisory Agreements
At a meeting held on December 11, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Funds’ advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) and the Funds’ subadvisory agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement” and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”).
In response to a Section 15(c) information request letter sent to the Adviser on behalf of the Independent Trustees requesting information about the Advisory Agreements and other arrangements and plans, the Trustees received extensive materials from the Adviser, including reviews of expense information and performance. The Trustees also had the benefit of presentations from and discussions with management.
Prior to approving the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their independent counsel to discuss management’s responses to their information request and reviewed their legal and fiduciary obligations and the factors relating to their evaluation and approval. In their deliberations, Trustees attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered dispositive. At the conclusion of their review, the Trustees determined that the advisory and subadvisory fee structures were fair and reasonable under the circumstances and within the range of what could be negotiated at arm’s length, and that the Advisory Agreements should serve the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees considered the following topics in reaching their conclusion to approve the Advisory Agreements:
Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services to be Provided
● The Trustees reviewed the proposed services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds. The Adviser would provide the Funds with investment research, advice and supervision and continuously furnish an investment portfolio consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions as set forth in the Fund’s Registration Statement.
● The Trustees reviewed the proposed services to be provided by Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (“ETC”) to the Funds. ETC would trade portfolio securities for the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions or in connection with any rebalancing of a Fund, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board. As part of its responsibilities, ETC may make investment decisions consistent with the Funds’ principal investment strategies, including as part of managing cash flow activity consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions as set forth in the Funds’ Registration Statement.
● The Trustees commented on the background and experience of the proposed Portfolio Managers, including experience with other funds and products within the First Eagle Complex and other managers.
● The Trustees commented on the representations received regarding the continued independent operations of the Adviser and appropriate resourcing of the investment and other core business functions. The Trustees also noted information provided on Genstar, including its track record of growing businesses, its likely time period of ownership of the business and possible later exit strategies, its familiarity with the investment management industry and other highly regulated financial services sectors, its support for the Adviser’s strategic direction, and potential resources and other support that might be made available to the Adviser over time.

Investment Performance
● No performance was presented for the Funds given that they were newly organized and had not yet commenced operations.
● The Trustees noted investment performance associated with other funds managed by FEIM and received general market information suggesting possible return profiles and targets for the Funds. Performance forecasts were determined to be adequate and reflective of the Funds’ investment objective and philosophy.
Costs of Services To Be Provided and Profits To Be Realized by Advisers and Affiliates From Relationship with the Funds; Economies of Scale; Fall-Out Benefits
● As part of their analysis, the Trustees considered fees paid by other funds with similar strategies within the First Eagle Complex and fees charged by investment advisers to peer funds for services comparable to those to be provided. While necessarily theoretical, general and imprecise, the Trustees also discussed the economics to be realized. Taking into account those considerations, the Trustees concluded that the Funds’ fee and expense terms were fair and reasonable under the circumstances.
● The Trustees also considered that the Adviser is paying all organizational expenses of the Funds and that the Adviser and its affiliates are investing significant resources in their development. These activities were considered to be of significant benefit to the Funds and to represent an entrepreneurial commitment to investing in the launch and operations.
● While analyzing the effects of direct and indirect compensation to the Adviser and its affiliates (sometimes referred to as “fall-out benefits”), the Trustees considered that the Funds do not charge Rule 12b-1 fees and, therefore, no revenue associated with Rule 12b-1 fees (if any) on shareholders it services directly (if any) would be retained. The Trustees noted that the Adviser also may be able over time to extend investment and operational efficiencies associated with the Funds to management of other types of accounts.
● In regard to economies of scale, it was noted that any expectations of scale benefits for the Funds are necessarily speculative at this point.
● The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s financial condition and profitability. Overall profits were believed to be robust, but no near-term profits are anticipated in respect of management of the Funds.
