Performance
Performance
Class A: 3.00% and INV: 2.50% maximum initial sales charge; a 1% CDSC may be imposed on certain redemptions made within 18 months of the date of purchase on shares that were purchased without an initial sales charge. Class C: 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year. Class I: No initial sales charge or CDSC.
Returns represent past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. No initial sales charge applies on investments of $250,000 or more (and certain other qualified purchases). However, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may be imposed on certain redemptions made within 18 months of the date of purchase on shares that were purchased without an initial sales charge. Expenses stated are as of the fund's most recent prospectus.
Effective July 19, 2024, the Aquila Tax-Free Fund of Colorado (the "Predecessor Fund") was reorganized into the MainStay MacKay Colorado Muni Fund ("the Fund"). As accounting successor to the Predecessor Fund, the Fund has assumed the Predecessor Fund's historical performance. Therefore, the performance information shown is that of the Predecessor Fund, which had a different fee structure from the Fund. The returns of the Predecessor Fund have not been adjusted to reflect the applicable expenses of the Fund.
Performance reflects a contractual fee waiver and/or expense limitation agreement for Class I shares in effect through 2/28/27, without which total returns may have been lower. This agreement renews automatically for one-year terms unless written notice is provided before the start of the next term or upon approval of the Board.
Portfolio
Portfolio
Percentages are based on fixed-income securities held in the Fund's investment portfolio and exclude any equity or convertible securities, credit default swaps, and cash or cash equivalents. Ratings apply to the underlying portfolio of debt securities held by the Fund and are rated by an independent rating agency, such as Standard and Poor's or Moody's. If ratings are provided by three rating agencies, but differ, the middle rating will be utilized. If ratings are provided by two rating agencies, but differ, the higher rating will be utilized. If only one rating is provided, the available rating will be utilized. Securities that are unrated by the rating agencies are reflected as such in the breakdown. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. S&P rates borrowers on a scale from AAA to D. AAA through BBB represent investment grade, while BB through D represent non-investment grade.
Distribution & Yields
Distribution & Yields
Distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, and/or a return of capital (ROC) of your investment in the fund. Because the distribution rate and the 12-month rate may include a ROC, they should not be confused with yield or income. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the composition of distributions. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099 DIV sent to shareholders each January.
Distribution Rate: The distribution rate measures the percentage return in the form of dividends. It is calculated daily by annualizing the most recent dividend distribution and dividing by the daily share price (NAV or POP). If the Fund did not make a distribution as of the latest scheduled distribution date, "N/A" will be displayed.
12-month Rate: The 12-month rate measures the percentage return in the form of dividends. It is calculated monthly by taking the sum of the trailing 12-month dividend payments divided by the last month's ending share price (NAV or POP) plus any capital gains distributed over previous 12 months. If the Fund did not make any distributions over the previous 12 months, "N/A" will be displayed.
The 30 Day SEC Yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the first 30 days of the month by the offering price per share at the end of that period. The yield reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the Fund's expenses. Yield reflects a fee waiver and/or expense limitation agreement without which the 30 Day SEC Yield would have been lower.
Unsubsidized 30-Day Yield reflects what the yield would have been without the effect of waivers and/or reimbursements.
Dividend distributions are the distribution of a dividend to mutual fund shareholders as of a certain date. The following Funds declare daily dividends: NYLI MacKay California Muni Fund, NYLI Floating Rate, NYLI MacKay High Yield Muni Bond Fund, NYLI MacKay U.S. Infrastructure Bond Fund, NYLI Money Market, NYLI MacKay New York Muni Fund, NYLI MacKay Short Term Muni Fund and NYLI MacKay Tax Free Bond.
