Debt Securities Risk: The risks of investing in debt securities include (without limitation): (i) credit risk, i.e., the issuer may not repay the loan created by the issuance of that debt security; (ii) maturity risk, i.e., a debt security with a longer maturity may fluctuate in value more than one with a shorter maturity; (iii) market risk, i.e., low demand for debt securities may negatively impact their price; (iv) interest rate risk, i.e., when interest rates go up, the value of a debt security goes down, and when interest rates go down, the value of a debt security goes up; (v) selection risk, i.e., the securities selected by the Subadvisor may underperform the market or other securities selected by other funds; and (vi) call risk, i.e., during a period of falling interest rates, the issuer may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates.

 

Interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historic lows, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising rates. Moreover, rising interest rates may lead to decreased liquidity in the bond markets, making it more difficult for the Fund to sell its bond holdings at a time when the Subadvisor might wish to sell. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of the Fund’s bond holdings.

 

B. MainStay Convertible Fund, MainStay Government Fund, MainStay Income Builder Fund, MainStay Short Duration High Yield Fund, MainStay Short Term Bond Fund, MainStay Unconstrained Bond Fund only

 

Debt Securities Risk: The risks of investing in debt securities include (without limitation): (i) credit risk, i.e., the issuer may not repay the loan created by the issuance of that debt security; (ii) maturity risk, i.e., a debt security with a longer maturity may fluctuate in value more than one with a shorter maturity; (iii) market risk, i.e., low demand for debt securities may negatively impact their price; (iv) interest rate risk, i.e., when interest rates go up, the value of a debt security goes down, and when interest rates go down, the value of a debt security goes up; (v) selection risk, i.e., the securities selected by the Subadvisor may underperform the market or other securities selected by other funds; and (vi) call risk, i.e., during a period of falling interest rates, the issuer may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates.

 

 
 

 

 

Interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historic lows, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising rates. Moreover, rising interest rates may lead to decreased liquidity in the bond markets, making it more difficult for the Fund to sell its bond holdings at a time when the Subadvisor might wish to sell. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of the Fund’s bond holdings.

 

Additional risks associated with an investment in the Fund include the following: (i) not all U.S. government securities are insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government—some are backed only by the issuing agency, which must rely on its own resources to repay the debt; and (ii) the Fund’s yield will fluctuate with changes in short-term interest rates.

  

C. MainStay Floating Rate Fund only

 

Debt Securities Risk: The risks of investing in debt securities include (without limitation): (i) credit risk, i.e., the issuer may not repay the loan created by the issuance of that debt security; (ii) maturity risk, i.e., a debt security with a longer maturity may fluctuate in value more than one with a shorter maturity; (iii) market risk, i.e., low demand for debt securities may negatively impact their price; (iv) interest rate risk, i.e., when interest rates go up, the value of a debt security goes down, and when interest rates go down, the value of a debt security goes up; (v) selection risk, i.e., the securities selected by the Manager may underperform the market or other securities selected by other funds; and (vi) call risk, i.e., during a period of falling interest rates, the issuer may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates.

Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of the Fund’s bond holdings.

 

D. MainStay Indexed Bond Fund only

 

Debt Securities Risk: The risks of investing in debt securities include (without limitation): (i) credit risk, i.e., the issuer may not repay the loan created by the issuance of that debt security; (ii) maturity risk, i.e., a debt security with a longer maturity may fluctuate in value more than one with a shorter maturity; (iii) market risk, i.e., low demand for debt securities may negatively impact their price; (iv) interest rate risk, i.e., when interest rates go up, the value of a debt security goes down, and when interest rates go down, the value of a debt security goes up; (v) selection risk, i.e., the securities selected by the Manager may underperform the market or other securities selected by other funds; and (vi) call risk, i.e., during a period of falling interest rates, the issuer may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates.

 

There is no assurance that the investment performance of the Fund will equal or exceed that of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. If the value of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index declines, the net asset value of shares of the Fund are also likely to decline. The Fund's ability to track the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index may be affected by, among other things, transaction costs; changes in either the composition of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index or the number of bonds outstanding for the components of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index; and timing and amount of purchases and redemptions of the Fund's shares.

The risk entitled “Debt Securities Risk” in the “Principal Risks of the Underlying Funds” section is deleted in its entirety and replaced with respect to each Fund as follows:

 

Debt Securities Risk: The risks of investing in debt securities include (without limitation): (i) credit risk, i.e., the issuer may not repay the loan created by the issuance of that debt security; (ii) maturity risk, i.e., a debt security with a longer maturity may fluctuate in value more than one with a shorter maturity; (iii) market risk, i.e., low demand for debt securities may negatively impact their price; (iv) interest rate risk, i.e., when interest rates go up, the value of a debt security goes down, and when interest rates go down, the value of a debt security goes up; (v) selection risk, i.e., the securities selected by the Underlying Fund’s manager or subadvisor may underperform the market or other securities selected by other funds; and (vi) call risk, i.e., during a period of falling interest rates, the issuer may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Underlying Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates.

 

Interest rates in the United States are at, or near, historic lows, which may increase an Underlying Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising rates. Moreover, rising interest rates may lead to decreased liquidity in the bond markets, making it more difficult for an Underlying Fund to sell its bond holdings at a time when the manager or subadvisor might wish to sell. Decreased market liquidity also may make it more difficult to value some or all of an Underlying Fund’s bond holdings.
