SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To Be Held On October 23, 2017

 

The Proxy Statement is also available at: www.mainstayinvestments.com/otherregulatorydocuments

 

Introduction

 

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) of MainStay Funds Trust (“Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, on behalf of the Funds, for a Special Meeting of shareholders of the Funds (with any postponements or adjournments, “Special Meeting”). The Special Meeting will be held on October 23, 2017, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the offices of New York Life Investment Management LLC (“New York Life Investments” or “Manager”), 51 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010. This Proxy Statement, the attached Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed proxy card will be first distributed on or about September 8, 2017, to all shareholders of record of each Fund as of the close of business on August 24, 2017 (“Record Date”).

 

At the Special Meeting, and as described in this Proxy Statement, shareholders of the Funds will be asked to consider and approve the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

 

1.To elect eight Trustees to the Board of Trustees of the Trust;

 

2.To approve amendments of the fundamental investment restrictions for certain Funds; and

 

3.To transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting.

 

The Board has recommended that Proposal 1 be presented to all shareholders of the Funds and that Proposal 2 be presented to the shareholders of certain Funds for their consideration and approval. Although the Trustees believe that the Proposals are in the best interests of each Fund, the final decision to approve each Proposal is up to you. After careful consideration, the Board recommends that you vote FOR each Proposal.

In addition, shareholders will be asked to consider and approve such other matters as may properly come before the Special Meeting.

 

Only shareholders who owned shares of any class of a Fund on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Each share of a Fund that you owned as of the Record Date entitles you to one (1) vote with respect to the Proposal applicable to the Fund and such other matters applicable to the Fund as may properly come before the Special Meeting. A fractional share has a fractional vote.

 

It is important for you to vote on the Proposals described in this Proxy Statement. We recommend that you carefully read this Proxy Statement in its entirety as the explanations will help you to decide how to vote on the Proposals.

 

 

PROPOSAL 1

 

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

Affected Funds: All Funds

 

What are Shareholders Being Asked to Approve?

 

The purpose of this Proposal is to elect eight Trustees to the Board. At a Board meeting held on June 22, 2017, the current Trustees unanimously nominated the eight persons described below for election as Trustees (each a “Nominee”). Each Nominee also currently serves as a Trustee.

 

Members of the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) considered each Nominee’s qualifications in accordance with the Committee’s policies and procedures for the consideration of board member candidates (which can be found in Appendix B) and recommended his or her nomination to the Board. Based on this recommendation, the Board nominated each of the Nominees to the Board.

 

Why are Shareholders Being Asked to Elect Trustees Now?

 

Although each Nominee currently serves as a Trustee, not all of the Trustees were elected to his or her position by the shareholders of the Trust. Instead, certain of these Trustees were appointed by the Board. The Trust’s Declaration of Trust does not provide for the annual election of Trustees. However, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), at least two-thirds of the Trustees must have been elected by shareholders before the Board may fill any vacancy on the Board that may arise through an appointment and without the need for shareholder approval. The Trust is currently below the minimum two-thirds requirement and needs to elect Trustees for the Board to be able to add new Board members through appointment. By electing (or re-electing, as the case may be) all Trustees, the Board will be able to add new members (consistent with the two-thirds requirement) without the expense of conducting additional shareholder meetings.

 

All proxies will be voted in favor of the Nominees listed in this Proxy Statement unless a contrary indication is made. If, prior to the Special Meeting, any Nominee becomes unable to serve, the proxies that otherwise would have been voted for such Nominee will be voted for such substitute nominee as may be selected by the current Board.

 

Who are the Nominees to the Board?

 

The table below lists the Nominees, their ages, current positions held with the Trust, length of time served, term of office, principal occupations during the last five years, number of funds currently overseen by the Nominee, and other directorships held outside of the Trust. A table with similar information concerning the officers of the Trust is also set forth below. The business address of each Nominee is 51 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010.

 

Nominees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) are referred to herein as “Independent Trustees.” The Nominee who is deemed to be an “interested person” of the Trust under the 1940 Act is referred to as the “Interested Trustee.”

 

The Board oversees the Trust, The MainStay Funds, MainStay VP Funds Trust, MainStay DefinedTerm Municipal Opportunities Fund, the Manager and the subadvisors, and elects the officers of the Trust who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Trust. Each Trustee serves until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her resignation, death or removal. Under the Board's retirement policy, unless an exception is made, a Trustee must tender his or her resignation by the end of the calendar year during which he or she reaches the age of 75. Officers serve a term of one year and are elected annually by the Board. Mr. Meenan reached the age of 75 during the calendar year 2016, and his term was extended for one additional year. Accordingly, if elected, Mr. Meenan is expected to serve until the end of calendar year 2017, at which time he intends to retire.

Compensation

 

The following Compensation Table reflects the compensation received by certain Trustees for the year ended April 30, 2017, from the Fund Complex. The Fund Complex consists of the Trust, The MainStay Funds, MainStay VP Funds Trust and MainStay DefinedTerm Municipal Opportunities Fund. Prior to January 1, 2017, the Independent Trustees received from the Fund Complex, either directly or indirectly, an annual retainer of $185,000; a fee of $15,000 for each regular Board meeting and associated Committee meeting attended; and fees of $7,500 per day for other in-person Board meetings, $2,500 per day if a Trustee attended a regular in-person meeting telephonically, and $7,500 per day if a Trustee attended an in-person Board meeting that is not regularly scheduled telephonically. Trustees also were reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and Committee meetings. The Chairman of the Board was also paid an annual fee of $80,000 and the Chairmen of each Committee (except the Valuation Committee) each received an annual fee of $20,000. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, Mr. Meenan was Chairman of the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee but did not receive any compensation for this role. Effective January 1, 2017, the Independent Trustees’ compensation arrangement changed in several ways. The Independent Trustees receive from the Fund Complex, either directly or indirectly, an annual retainer of $205,000. The Chairmen of the Committees no longer receive an annual fee. In addition, the annual fee paid to the Chairman of the Board was reduced to $60,000. All other elements of the compensation structure remained the same. Each fund in the Fund Complex pays a pro-rata share of these fees based on its net assets relative to the other funds in the Fund Complex as of the end of the relevant fiscal year.

 

Please note that each Fund, except for MainStay Absolute Return Multi-Strategy Fund, MainStay Tax Advantaged Short Term Bond Fund, MainStay Cushing Energy Income Fund, MainStay Cushing MLP Premier Fund and MainStay Cushing Renaissance Advantage Fund, has a fiscal year ending October 31. MainStay Cushing Energy Income Fund, MainStay Cushing MLP Premier Fund and MainStay Cushing Renaissance Advantage Fund each have a fiscal year ending November 30. MainStay Absolute Return Multi-Strategy Fund and MainStay Tax Advantaged Short Term Bond Fund each have a fiscal year ending April 30.

Board Structure and Leadership

 

The Board oversees the business and affairs of the Trust, including oversight of key service providers to the Trust, including the Manager and subadvisors. The Board holds regularly scheduled in person meetings on a quarterly basis and other special in person and telephonic meetings on an as needed basis.

 

The Board has elected an Independent Trustee to serve as its Chairman. The Chairman is responsible for setting the agendas of all regular and special Board meetings, assists in identifying the information to be presented to the Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Board, and presides over all Board meetings. In between meetings, the Chairman is responsible for communicating with other Trustees, Trust officers, and personnel of the Manager and other service providers as necessary to enable the Board to carry out its primary responsibility of overseeing the Trust and its operations.

 

As discussed further below, the Board has established various Committees through which the Trustees focus on matters relating to particular aspects of the Trust’s operations, such as valuation of portfolio holdings, investments, risk oversight and compliance, fund fees and expenses and financial reporting. The Trustees periodically review the effectiveness of the Committee structure and each Committee’s responsibilities and membership.

 

The Trustees believe that the Board’s leadership and committee structure is appropriate in light of the nature and size of the Trust because, among other things, it fosters strong communication between the Board, its individual members, the Manager and other service providers, allocates responsibilities among the Committees and permits Committee members to focus on particular areas involving the Funds. In addition, the Committees support and promote the Independent Trustees in their oversight of all aspects of the Trust’s operations and their independent review of proposals made by the Manager.

 

Risk Oversight

 

While responsibility for day-to-day risk management relating to the Funds and their operations resides with the Manager, subadvisors or other service providers (subject to the supervision of the Manager), the Board actively performs a risk oversight function, both directly and through its Committees, as described below. The Board and its Committees exercise this function through regular and ad hoc Board and Committee meetings during which the Board and its Committees meet with representatives of the Manager, the subadvisors, and other key service providers. In addition, the Board has established a Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee that has the responsibility of coordinating the Board’s oversight of the implementation of the risk management and compliance programs of, and related to, the Trust. The Audit Committee also meets regularly with the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer to discuss internal controls and financial reporting matters, among other things. The Board and Committees regularly require senior management of the Manager and senior officers of the Trust to report to the Board and the Committees on a variety of risk areas relating to the Trust, including, but not limited to, investment/portfolio risks (e.g., performance, compliance, counterparty, credit, liquidity and valuation risks) and operational/enterprise risks (e.g., financial, reputational, compliance, litigation, personnel and business continuity risks), as well as more general business risks. The Board reviews, on an ongoing basis, the funds’ performance, operations and investment practices. The Board also conducts reviews of the Manager in its role in managing the Trust’s operations. In addition, the Board has engaged counsel to the Independent Trustees and consults with such counsel both during and between meetings of the Board and the Committees.

 

The Board and the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee also meet regularly with the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), who reports directly to the Board. The CCO has responsibility for testing the compliance procedures of the Trust and its service providers. The CCO regularly discusses issues related to compliance and provides a quarterly report to the Board regarding the Trust’s compliance program. In order to maintain a robust risk management and compliance program for the Trust, the Board and the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee also regularly review and approve, as necessary, the Trust’s compliance policies and procedures and updates to these procedures, as well as review and approve the compliance policies and procedures of certain of the Trust’s service providers to the extent that those policies and procedures relate to the operations of the funds. In addition to the meetings with various parties to oversee the risk management of the Trust, the Board and its Committees also receive regular written reports from these and other parties which assist the Board and the Committees in exercising their risk oversight function.

 

The Board also benefits from other risk management resources and functions within the Manager’s organization, such as the Manager’s risk management personnel and the internal auditor of the Manager’s parent company. For example, the Board and the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee meet periodically with the Manager’s risk management personnel, including the Manager’s Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”). The CRO is responsible for overseeing the measurement and monitoring of operational risks across the Manager’s enterprise. In addition, the Board benefits from the work of the Manager’s Risk Management Committee, which is comprised of senior personnel of the Manager and seeks to identify and address material risks within the Manager’s businesses across its multi-boutique structure. The Board recognizes that it is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Trust or to develop processes and controls to mitigate or eliminate all risks and their possible effects, and that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment risks) to achieve the funds’ investment objectives. The Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight.

11

This submission to the Secretary of the Trust must include: (a) contact information for the nominating shareholder or shareholder group; (b) a certification from the nominating shareholder or shareholder group which provides the number of shares which the person or group has: (i) sole power to vote or direct the vote; (ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote; (iii) sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares; and (iv) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares and (v) held the shares continuously for at least two years as of the date of the nomination; (c) the candidate's contact information and the number of applicable Fund shares owned by the candidate; (d) all information regarding the candidate that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of directors required by Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (e) a notarized letter executed by the candidate, stating his or her intention to serve as a candidate and be named in the Trust’s proxy statement, if so designated by the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Trust’s Board.

The Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee shall recognize the risk and compliance oversight roles of other committees of the Board, and shall defer to such other committees with respect to compliance or risk oversight matters that relate specifically to the purposes or responsibilities of such other committees.

 

The Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee shall not assume any day-to-day compliance or risk management functions or activities. The Funds' investment adviser, investment subadvisors, and other service providers (“Fund management”) are responsible for the day-to-day implementation, maintenance, and administration of the compliance policies and procedures of the Funds that are required to be reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Funds and their primary service providers with applicable federal securities laws. The Funds’ CCO shall oversee Fund management’s execution of its aforementioned compliance responsibilities. Fund management is responsible for the day-to-day implementation, maintenance, and administration of policies, procedures, systems and practices designed to identify, monitor, and control risks to which the Funds are or may be exposed.

It is expected that the compensation structure for the Trustees will not change as a result of the approval of the Proposals.

 

It is expected that the Board will meet at least quarterly at regularly scheduled meetings. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, the Board met 9 times. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2016, the Board met 5 times. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Board met 5 times. Each current Trustee attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board held during the last fiscal year, including the meetings of the Board’s standing Committees on which such Trustee was a member. The Trust does not hold annual meetings, and therefore, the Board does not have a policy with regard to Board member attendance at such meetings.

 

Shareholder Approval

 

The Nominees for election to the Board at the Special Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the total votes cast at the Special Meeting by the holders of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such action. This Proposal applies on a Trust-wide basis, and all Funds and classes thereof will vote together on this Proposal.

 

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

 

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF THE TRUST

PROPOSAL 2

 

APPROVAL TO AMEND THE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

Affected Funds:

MainStay Conservative Allocation Fund

MainStay Epoch U.S. All Cap Fund

MainStay Floating Rate Fund

MainStay Growth Allocation Fund

MainStay Indexed Bond Fund

MainStay Moderate Allocation Fund

MainStay Moderate Growth Allocation Fund

MainStay S&P 500 Index Fund

MainStay Tax Advantaged Short Term Bond Fund

MainStay Total Return Bond Fund


For the purposes of Proposal 2, the terms “Fund” or “Funds” refers only to the Funds listed above.

 

The 1940 Act requires all mutual funds, including the Funds, to adopt “fundamental” investment restrictions with respect to several specific types of activities, including a Fund’s ability to: (1) borrow money; (2) issue senior securities; (3) underwrite securities issued by other persons; (4) purchase or sell real estate; (5) purchase or sell commodities; (6) make loans to other persons; and (7) concentrate its investments in any particular industry or group of industries. The 1940 Act also requires each Fund to state whether it is a “diversified company” or “non-diversified company” as those terms are defined in the 1940 Act.

 

In addition, the 1940 Act permits each Fund to designate any of its other policies as fundamental policies, as the Fund deems necessary or desirable. Fundamental policies are those that may be modified or eliminated only with the approval of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. In contrast, policies that are non-fundamental may be modified or eliminated by action of the Board, without shareholder action.

 

The Board has reviewed the Funds’ current fundamental investment restrictions and, after careful consideration, has unanimously recommended that the current fundamental restrictions be amended, as described below, in order to simplify and modernize the restrictions to reflect current law, to make the restrictions more consistent with those of other funds in the Fund Complex and to increase the investment flexibility of the Funds. If approved by shareholders, the Proposal will take effect on or about October 24, 2017.

 

Why are Shareholders Being Asked to Approve Changes to the Funds’ Investment Restrictions?

 

As more fully discussed in each individual sub-proposal below, Proposal 2 is intended to modernize and simplify the Funds’ investment restrictions, increase the investment flexibility of the Funds, and create uniform investment restrictions among the Funds. Presently, many of the Funds’ investment restrictions are more restrictive than the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and applicable guidance issued by the SEC and its staff otherwise require. This unnecessarily limits the Funds’ investment strategies and results in operating inefficiencies and additional costs. In general, the proposed changes are intended to provide the Funds with the maximum investment authority to engage in certain investment strategies and techniques consistent with current law and are generally written with reference to the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable law. In so doing, these restrictions will provide the Funds with the maximum flexibility to invest in a manner consistent with any future changes in the 1940 Act and interpretation and guidance without requiring the Funds to incur the additional expense and time necessary to seek shareholder approval of those changes. Additionally, these changes will allow the Funds to have fundamental investment restrictions which are identical to many other funds in the Fund Complex, thus promoting uniformity, facilitating Board oversight and assisting New York Life Investments and portfolio managers in monitoring the Funds’ compliance with the restrictions.

 

Due to these and other factors and considerations, the Board recommends that shareholders approve the amendment of the Funds’ current fundamental investment restrictions as described in greater detail below.

What Effect will the Proposed Changes to the Funds’ Investment Restrictions Have on the Funds?

 

While this Proposal is intended to, among other things, provide New York Life Investments and the Funds’ subadvisors with greater flexibility in managing each Fund’s portfolio, the Funds would continue to be managed subject to the limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder, as well as the investment strategies, objectives and policies stated in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

 

Importantly, neither New York Life Investments nor the Funds’ subadvisors presently intends to alter materially the way in which they manage any of the Funds, and therefore believe that the proposed changes will not, either individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the investment risk currently associated with any Fund. No material change would be made to the manner in which a Fund invests or operates without prior Board approval and an appropriate amendment to the Fund’s Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information, if necessary.

 

Shareholder Approval

 

Each Fund will vote on Proposals 2.A through 2.H separately. Approval of each of Proposals 2.A through 2.H with respect to each Fund requires a separate affirmative vote of the holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. Should a Fund’s shareholders not approve a specific Proposal to amend a particular fundamental investment restriction, the Fund’s current fundamental investment restriction would continue to apply unchanged. The effectiveness of any of Proposals 2.A through 2.H, if approved by shareholders of a Fund, is not contingent upon the approval of any other such Proposals by shareholders of the Fund.

 

Please see the section entitled “Voting Information” for more details.

 

PROPOSAL 2.A — BORROWING

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing states that each Fund may not:

 

Borrow money or issue senior securities, except that a Fund may (i) borrow from banks or enter into reverse repurchase agreements, but only if immediately after each borrowing there is asset coverage of 300%, and (ii) issue senior securities to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.A is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing would state that each Fund:

 

May borrow money to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, as such may be interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time.

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

Unless further restricted, all investment companies are limited in the amount they may borrow by the 1940 Act. Currently, the 1940 Act permits a mutual fund to borrow from banks in an amount up to 33 1/3% of the fund’s assets, including the amount borrowed. This means that the 1940 Act requires a Fund to maintain continuous asset coverage of 300% of the amount borrowed. If the asset coverage should fall below 300% of the amount borrowed as a result of market fluctuations or other reasons, a Fund may be required to sell some of its portfolio holdings within three days to reduce the debt and restore the 300% asset coverage, even though it may be disadvantageous from an investment standpoint to sell the portfolio holdings at that time and could cause the Fund to be unable to meet certain requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The SEC takes the position that other transactions that have a leveraging effect on the capital structure of a Fund or are economically equivalent to borrowing can be viewed as constituting a form of borrowing by the Fund for purposes of the 1940 Act. These transactions can include entering into reverse repurchase agreements, engaging in mortgage dollar roll transactions, selling securities short (other than short sales “against the box”), buying and selling certain derivatives (such as futures contracts), selling (or writing) put and call options, engaging in sale-buybacks, entering into firm-commitment and standby-commitment agreements, engaging in when-issued, delayed-delivery, to-be-announced securities, or forward-commitment transactions, and other trading practices that have a leveraging effect on the capital structure of a Fund or are economically equivalent to borrowing.

 

15 

 

 

Borrowing tends to exaggerate the effect on a fund’s net asset value per share of any changes in the market value of the fund’s portfolio securities. In addition, any money borrowed will be subject to interest and other costs, which may exceed the gain on securities purchased with borrowed funds. The additional costs and risks to which the Fund may be exposed because of borrowing are limited, however, by the borrowing limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and any other law, rule, exemption or interpretation thereof that may be applicable.

 

The current fundamental investment restriction is consistent with the 1940 Act’s limit on borrowing. However, the proposed fundamental investment restriction would permit the funds to borrow for any purpose to the full extent permitted by the 1940 Act and would enable the Funds to take advantage of future changes in the 1940 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder.

 

However, notwithstanding the above, it is not currently proposed that any Fund’s investment strategy be changed to engage in additional borrowing.

 

PROPOSAL 2.B — SENIOR SECURITIES

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restriction regarding issuing senior securities states:

 

Each Fund may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except that a Fund may (i) borrow from banks or enter into reverse repurchase agreements, but only if immediately after each borrowing there is asset coverage of 300%, and (ii) issue senior securities to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.B is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding issuing senior securities would read:

 

May issue senior securities, to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, as such may be interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time.

 

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

A “senior security” means any bond, debenture, note, or similar obligation or instrument constituting a security and evidencing indebtedness, and any stock of a class having priority over any other class as to distribution of assets or payment of dividends. The 1940 Act generally prohibits an open-end fund from issuing senior securities in order to limit the fund’s ability to use leverage. In general, leverage occurs when a fund borrows money to enter into securities transactions or acquires an asset without being required to make payment until a later time.

 

The proposed fundamental investment restriction will not change the current extent to which a Fund can issue senior securities. Rather, the proposed fundamental investment restriction will enable the Funds to take advantage of future changes in the 1940 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder.

 

PROPOSAL 2.C — UNDERWRITING SECURITIES

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restriction regarding underwriting securities states:

 

Each Fund may not act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except to the extent that in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”).

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.C is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding underwriting securities would read:

 

Each Fund may act as an underwriter of securities within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), to the extent permitted under the 1933 Act, as such may be interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time.

 

16 

 

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

The current investment restriction prohibits each Fund from acting as an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) unless the Fund is technically acting as an underwriter under the 1933 Act in connection with selling portfolio securities.  The exception under the current fundamental investment restriction refers to a provision under the 1933 Act whereby a person who purchases unregistered securities from an issuer and then resells such securities to the public could be deemed to be an underwriter.  However, the current fundamental investment restriction is more restrictive than necessary as the Investment Company Act permits investment companies such as the Funds to act as underwriters subject to certain limitations.  Accordingly, even though the Funds do not intend at this time to engage in underwriting activities, the proposed fundamental investment restriction would provide the Funds with maximum flexibility to participate in future investment opportunities to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to each Fund’s investment objective and strategies.

 

However, the proposed fundamental investment restriction will enable the Funds to take advantage of future changes in the 1933 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder. Notwithstanding the above, it is not currently proposed that any Fund’s investment strategy be changed to permit additional underwriting activities.

 

PROPOSAL 2.D — REAL ESTATE

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in real estate states:

 

May not purchase or sell real estate (although it may purchase securities secured by real estate or interests therein, or securities issued by companies which invest in real estate, or interests therein).

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.D is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in real estate would read:

 

Each Fund may purchase or sell real estate or any interest therein to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, as such may be interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time.

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

The proposed fundamental investment restriction would provide the Funds greater flexibility with respect to investments or transactions in real estate, as permitted under the 1940 Act. For example, the proposed fundamental investment restriction clarifies the Funds’ ability to acquire or lease office space for their own use, in addition to holding and selling real estate acquired as a result of the ownership of securities (for example, as the holder of a bond in a company that goes bankrupt). Each Fund would continue to be able to purchase securities secured by real estate or interests therein, or securities issued by companies which invest in real estate or interests therein.

 

PROPOSAL 2.E — COMMODITIES

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in commodities states:

 

May not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except that, subject to restrictions described in the Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information, (i) a Fund may enter into futures contracts on securities, currencies or on indexes of such securities or currencies, or any other financial instruments and options on such futures contracts; (ii) a Fund may enter into spot or forward foreign currency contracts and foreign currency options.

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.E is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in commodities would read:

 

17 

 

 

Each Fund may not purchase physical commodities or contracts relating to physical commodities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as such may be interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time.

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

The current fundamental investment restriction regarding commodities prohibits the Funds from investing in commodities or commodity contracts, with certain exceptions. The proposed fundamental investment restriction more clearly indicates that this limitation applies to physical commodities or contracts relating to physical commodities. The proposed fundamental investment restriction would permit the Funds to purchase or sell commodities and contracts, instruments and interests related to commodities to the fullest extent permitted by the 1940 Act and would enable the Funds to take advantage of future changes in the 1940 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder.

 

The proposed fundamental investment restriction does not limit each Fund’s ability to purchase other types of financial instruments or derivatives, certain of which may be deemed to be commodity contracts. Such investments are generally accepted under modern investment management and are regularly used by many mutual funds and other institutional investors. As described in the applicable Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information, the Funds are able to invest in certain types of financial instruments or derivatives, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, options or futures contracts, spot or forward currency contracts and foreign currency options.

 

Derivatives are investments the value of which depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying instrument, such as a security, asset, reference rate or index. Derivative strategies often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Fund to lose more money than it would have lost had it invested in the underlying instrument. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value. Derivatives may also be subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will unable to honor its contractual obligations to the Fund.

 

However, notwithstanding the above, it is not currently proposed that any Fund’s investment strategy be changed to engage in additional derivatives investments.

 

PROPOSAL 2.F — MAKING LOANS

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restriction regarding making loans states:

 

May not lend any funds or other assets, except that a Fund may, consistent with its investment objectives and policies: (i) invest in debt obligations including bonds, debentures or other debt securities, bankers' acceptances and commercial paper, even though the purchase of such obligations may be deemed to be the making of loans; (ii) enter into repurchase agreements; and (iii) lend its portfolio securities in accordance with applicable guidelines established by the SEC and any guidelines established by the Board.

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.F is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding making loans would read:

 

Each Fund may make loans to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, as such may be interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time.

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

Current SEC guidance limits loans of a fund’s securities to one-third of the fund’s assets, including any collateral received from the loan, provided that loans, among other things, are 100% collateralized by cash or cash equivalents, and limits the amount of loans a fund may invest in to one-third of the fund’s total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. The Funds’ current fundamental investment restrictions are consistent with this limitation. However, the proposed fundamental investment restriction will enable the Funds to take advantage of future changes in the 1940 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder.

 

18 

 

 

The proposed change permits the Funds to engage in all forms of lending, including securities lending and participation in the Funds’ Interfund Lending Program, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and by SEC guidance. It is not currently anticipated that the Funds would engage in forms of lending other than as described in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

 

PROPOSAL 2.G — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENTS

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restriction regarding concentration of investments states:

 

May not invest in a security if, as a result of such investment, 25% or more of its total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers in any particular industry, except that this restriction does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities (or repurchase agreements with respect thereto) and at such time that the 1940 Act is amended to permit a registered investment company to elect to be “periodically industry concentrated,” (i.e., a fund that does not concentrate its investments in a particular industry would be permitted, but not required, to invest 25% or more of its assets in a particular industry) the Funds elect to be so classified and the foregoing limitation shall no longer apply with respect to the Funds.

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.G is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding concentration of investments would read:

 

Each Fund may not “concentrate” its investments in a particular industry or group of industries, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time, provided that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this limitation will not apply to a Fund’s investments in: (i) securities of other investment companies; (ii) securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and/or interest by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; or (iii) repurchase agreements (collateralized by the instruments described in Clause (ii)).

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

Each Fund currently has, and will continue to have, a fundamental investment restriction that specifies whether the Fund may concentrate its investments in any one industry or group of industries. While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC staff has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry (excluding the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities) normally constitutes concentration. For the purposes of this fundamental investment restriction, each Fund may use the industry classifications provided by Bloomberg, L.P., the MSCI/Standard & Poor's Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) or any other reasonable industry classification system. Wholly-owned finance companies will be considered to be in the industries of their parents (or affiliated entity) if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of the parents (or affiliated entity). Due to their varied economic characteristics, issuers within the diversified financial services industry will be classified at the sub-group level. Utilities will be divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and gas, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry. Securities issued by foreign governmental entities (including foreign agencies, foreign municipalities, and foreign instrumentalities) will be classified by country. For purposes of classifying such securities, each foreign country will be deemed a separate industry. Also, for purposes of industry concentration, tax-exempt securities issued by states, municipalities and their political subdivisions are not considered to be part of any industry. The exclusion set forth above with respect to tax-exempt securities does not include municipal securities whose payments of interest and/or principal are dependent upon revenues derived from projects, rather than the general obligations of the municipal issuers (such as private activity and revenue bonds).

 

For purposes of determining compliance with a Fund’s policy on concentrating its investments in any one industry, the Funds generally do not look through investments in underlying investment companies for purposes of applying their concentration limitations, unless the underlying investment company itself has a policy to concentrate in a particular industry. In that case, the particular industry in which the underlying investment company invests would be counted for purposes of calculating the Funds’ concentration limitation.

 

19 

 

 

The Funds’ current fundamental investment restrictions are more prohibitive than this interpretation. The proposed fundamental investment restriction aligns the concentration limit with that of the 1940 Act and allows the Funds the flexibility to take advantage of any future changes in the 1940 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance issued thereunder.

 

PROPOSAL 2.H — DIVERSIFICATION

 

CURRENT FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS: The Funds’ current fundamental investment restrictions regarding diversification states:

 

Invest in a security if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of any one issuer, except that this restriction does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities;

 

Invest in a security if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, it would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, except that this restriction does not apply to U.S. government securities.

 

PROPOSED NEW FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTION: If Proposal 2.H is approved by shareholders, each Fund’s sub-classification as a diversified Fund would read:

 

Shall be a “diversified company” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, as interpreted or modified by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, from time to time.

 

Discussion of Proposed Modification

 

Section 8(b) of the 1940 Act requires each series of an investment company to state whether it is “diversified” or “non-diversified,” as those terms are defined in the 1940 Act. As the term “diversified” is used in the 1940 Act, and as reflected in the Funds’ current fundamental investment restrictions, a diversified portfolio may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, (1) invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one issuer, or (2) hold more than 10% of the outstanding securities of such issuer (the “75% test”). Under the 1940 Act, a “non-diversified” portfolio is any portfolio that is not considered diversified and is not, therefore, constrained by the 75% test.

 

No change is being proposed to a Fund’s designation as a diversified Fund. Instead, the proposed change would modify the Funds’ fundamental investment restriction regarding each Fund’s sub-classification under the 1940 Act to rely on the definitions of the terms diversified and non-diversified in the 1940 Act rather than stating the relevant percentage limitations expressed under current law. Therefore, the proposed fundamental investment restriction will enable the Funds to take advantage of future changes in the 1940 Act and the rules and interpretive guidance provided thereunder.

 

It is not anticipated that this change would have any effect on the operations of the Funds. The Funds would remain subject to the same limitations on their investments under the definition of “diversified” as embodied in the Funds’ current fundamental policies, as well as to any additional restrictions on concentration under the 1940 Act (as discussed in Proposal 2.G) or other investment restrictions of the Funds. In addition, each of the Funds will remain subject to the relevant diversification provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the requirement that at the end of each quarter of a Fund’s taxable year, with respect to 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund has invested no more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer and holds no more than 10% of such issuer’s outstanding voting securities.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

 

THE BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE PROPOSALS 2.A THROUGH 2.H.

 

 

20 

 

VOTING INFORMATION

 

This Proxy Statement is being provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board to solicit your vote for the Proposals at the Special Meeting, which will be held on October 23, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, at the offices of New York Life Investments, 51 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010.

 

You may vote in one of four ways:

 

Complete and sign the enclosed proxy card and mail it to us in the enclosed prepaid return envelope (if mailed in the United States);
Vote on the Internet at the website address printed on your proxy ballot;
Call the toll-free number printed on your proxy ballot; or
Vote in-person at the Special Meeting.

 

Please note, to vote via the Internet or telephone, you will need the “control number” that appears on your proxy card. Not all voting options may be available to you. Please see your proxy card for more details.

 

You may revoke a proxy once it is given by submitting a later-dated proxy or a written notice of revocation to the Funds within the voting period. You may also give written notice of revocation in person at the Special Meeting. All properly executed proxies received in time for the Special Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy, or, if no specification is made, FOR the Proposals.

 

Only shareholders of the Funds as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. Each share held as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote. The presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast 33⅓% of votes eligible to be cast at the Special Meeting will constitute a quorum for the conduct of all business.

 

Voting Requirements - Proposal 1

 

When a quorum is present, the Nominees for election to the Board at the Special Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the total votes cast at the Special Meeting by the holders of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such action. A “plurality” means that Nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast (even if they receive less than a majority) will be elected as Trustees. Since the Nominees are running unopposed, each Nominee only needs one vote to be elected if there is a quorum present at the Special Meeting. This Proposal applies on a Trust-wide basis, and all Funds and classes thereof will vote together on this Proposal.

 

Voting Requirements - Proposal 2

 

When a quorum is present, approval of the Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of each affected Fund, which is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (1) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund present at the Special Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present in person or by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

 

The Special Meeting may be adjourned from time to time by vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy, whether or not a quorum is present, and the Special Meeting may be held as adjourned within a reasonable time after the original date set for the Special Meeting without further notice. The persons named as proxies will vote those shares that they are entitled to vote in favor of adjournment if adjournment is necessary to obtain a quorum or to obtain a favorable vote on any proposal. Business may be conducted once a quorum is present and may continue until adjournment of the Special Meeting. If the Special Meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned Special Meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date of the adjourned Special Meeting is fixed. At any adjourned Special Meeting, the Trust may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original Special Meeting. Although it is not expected that the Funds will receive abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter), abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum. In addition, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, if a broker has not received instructions from beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the proposal to be voted upon may “affect substantially” a shareholder’s rights or privileges, the broker may not vote the shares as to that proposal even if it has discretionary voting power. As a result, these shares also will be treated as broker non-votes for purposes of proposals that may “affect substantially” a shareholder’s rights or privileges (but will not be treated as broker non-votes for other proposals, including adjournment of the Special Meeting).

 

21 

 

 

Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on Proposal 1, but will have the same effect as shares voted against Proposal 2, which can have the effect of causing shareholders who choose not to participate in the proxy vote to prevail over shareholders who cast votes or provide voting instructions to their brokers or nominees.

 

The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote in accordance with the shareholder’s direction, as indicated thereon, if the proxy card is received and is properly executed. If a shareholder properly executes a proxy and gives no voting instructions with respect to a Proposal, the shares will be voted in favor of the Proposal.

 

The Board knows of no matters other than those described in this Proxy Statement that will be brought before the Special Meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting, it is the Board’s intention that proxies will be voted on such matters based on the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy. The proxies, in their discretion, may vote upon such other matters as may properly come before the Special Meeting.

 

Solicitation Expenses and Other Expenses Related to the Special Meeting. 100% of the direct expenses relating to the Special Meeting, including the preparation, distribution, solicitation, and tabulation of the proxy and costs related to the necessary prospectus supplements, will be borne by the Funds. The proxy costs are estimated to be between $1.2 million and $1.5 million. The Trust has retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to provide proxy solicitation services in connection with the Special Meeting. Proxies will be solicited via regular mail and also may be solicited via telephone, e-mail or other personal contact by personnel of New York Life Investments, a Fund, their respective affiliates, or, in New York Life Investments’ discretion Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. or another, a commercial firm retained for this purpose.

 

The Funds will reimburse upon request persons holding shares as nominees for their reasonable expenses in sending soliciting material to their principals.

These services primarily included preparation of federal, state and local income tax returns. Additionally, services included the preparation of excise tax returns and excise tax distribution requirements.

 

(4) All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by KPMG LLP, other than the services reported in paragraphs (1) through (3) above were: (i) $0, during each of the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2017, November 30, 2016 and October 31, 2016, and (ii) $0, during each of the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2016, November 30, 2015 and October 31, 2015.

 

All non-audit fees billed by KPMG LLP for services rendered to the Funds for each of the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2017, November 30, 2016 and October 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, November 30, 2015 and October 31, 2015 are disclosed in paragraphs (2) through (4) above.

 

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by KPMG LLP for services rendered to the Service Affiliates for the last two fiscal years were approximately: (i) $0, each of the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2017, November 30, 2016 and October 31, 2016, and (ii) $0, for each of the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2016, November 30, 2015 and October 31, 2015.

 

The Trust’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Trust’s investment advisor (not including any subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment advisor) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the Trust that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

 

Pursuant to the Trust’s Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee has adopted Pre-approval Policies and Procedures (the “Procedures”) to govern the pre-approval of (i) all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Trust by its independent registered public accounting firm, and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by such independent accounting firm to any of the Funds’ Service Affiliates if the engagement directly impacts the Trust’s operations and financial reporting.

 

In accordance with the Procedures, the Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement, with the approval of a majority of the Independent Trustees, of the independent registered public accounting firm to certify the Trust’s financial statements for each fiscal year. With respect to the pre-approval of non-audit services provided to the Trust and its Service Affiliates, the Procedures provide that the Audit Committee may annually consider and/or pre-approve a list of the types of services the Trust may request from the independent registered public accounting firm in that fiscal year. In addition, the Audit Committee may pre-approve non-audit services on a project-by-project basis as they arise. The Procedures also permit the Audit Committee to delegate authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees (the “Designated Member”) to pre-approve or refer to the full Audit Committee any proposed non-audit services that have not been previously approved by the Audit Committee or any proposed material change in the nature or extent of any non-audit services previously approved by the Audit Committee, subject to certain conditions. Any action by the Designated Member in approving a requested non-audit service shall be presented for ratification to the Audit Committee not later than at its next scheduled meeting. If the Designated Member does not approve the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of a requested non-audit service, the matter may be presented to the full Audit Committee for its consideration and action.

 

(5) Independence. In accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 (“PCAOB Rule 3526”), KPMG LLP has informed the Audit Committee that it may not qualify as independent under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “Loan Provision”), as interpreted by the Staff of the SEC, in light of a lending relationship certain employees of KPMG LLP maintain with the parent company of a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the equity securities of the MainStay Epoch Capital Growth Fund (the “Fund”). KPMG LLP has indicated that this relationship does not influence the audits of the Fund or KPMG LLP’s objectivity and impartiality on issues encompassed within its engagement, and that it believes that a reasonable investor possessing all the facts regarding its borrowing and audit relationships would conclude that KPMG LLP was able to exhibit the requisite objectivity and impartiality to report on the Fund’s financial statements. Legal counsel to the Fund has advised the Fund that it may rely on recent “no-action” relief granted by the Staff of SEC to continue to fulfill its regulatory requirements under the federal securities laws by using the audit services performed by KPMG LLP. KPMG LLP acted as independent auditors of the Fund for its most recently completed fiscal year and has been appointed as independent auditors for the Fund’s current fiscal year.

NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHARTER

 

MAINSTAY FUNDS TRUST

THE MAINSTAY FUNDS

MAINSTAY VP FUNDS TRUST

MAINSTAY DEFINEDTERM MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND

 

(each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

 

Nominating and Governance Committee Charter

 

 

Formation

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of each Fund has established a Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of each Fund, subject to the terms and conditions of this Charter. The Committees of the Funds may meet and act jointly. This Charter is intended to govern the conduct of each Committee, as well as the Committees’ joint actions. References in this Charter to “Committee” are, as the context warrants, to each Committee or to the Committees acting jointly as a single body.

 

Membership

 

The Committee will be composed exclusively of Trustees of the Funds, each of whom is not an “interested person” of the Funds (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)) (“Independent Trustees”). The Committee will have at least three (3) members. Other Board members, while not serving as members of the Committee, nonetheless will be expected to have a role in the nominating process by identifying and recommending potential candidates to the Committee for its consideration, and by otherwise assisting the Committee in the discharge of its responsibilities. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, will select the members of the Committee and the chairman of the Committee.

 

Purposes

 

The purposes of the Committee are to:

 

1.Make recommendations to the Board with respect to the effectiveness of the Board in carrying out its responsibilities in governing the Funds and overseeing the management of the Funds;

 

2.Make recommendations to the Board regarding (a) its size, structure and composition; (b) qualifications for Board membership; and (c) compensation for Board Members;

 

3.Identify and recommend qualified individuals for Board membership and for the chairmanship of the Board;

 

4.Make recommendations to the Board with respect to the Board’s committee structure, committee membership and chairmanship; and

Size, Structure and Composition of the Board and Qualifications for Membership

 

1.review periodically the size, structure and composition of the Board to determine the appropriate number of Trustees comprising the Board, the ratio of interested to Independent Trustees, the number and types of committees, the functions of the Funds’ officers and the types of expertise and experience needed among the Trustees;

 

2.be involved in the orientation and training of new Trustees and continuing the education of all Trustees; and

 

3.recommend to the Board with respect to the level and types of compensation for Board members. The Committee shall review such compensation arrangements annually or at such other times or intervals as it deems necessary or appropriate.

 

Identification and Nomination of Candidates for Membership; Board Committees

 

1.develop a list of possible candidates in the event of any vacancies on or additions to the Board;

 

2.evaluate the candidates’ qualifications for such positions, and in the case of candidates for Independent Trustee positions, their independence from any investment adviser or other principal service provider. Persons nominated as Independent Trustees may not be “interested persons” of the Funds as that term is defined in the 1940 Act;

 

3.evaluate any candidates nominated by shareholders in compliance with appropriate policies or procedures;

 

4.recommend candidates for nomination by the Board for Board membership; and

 

5.recommend the Board’s committee structure, committee membership and chairmanship for action by the Board.

2.The Committee shall oversee the process of self-assessment approved by the Board.

 

Other

 

1.Review and consider compliance and risk-related matters relevant to the duties and responsibilities of the Committee, in coordination with the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee of the Board, as appropriate.

 

2.Consider such other matters as applicable laws or regulations may require, as the Board may request, or the Committee may deem appropriate in carrying out its duties and responsibilities.

 

Powers of the Committee

 

In carrying out its purposes, the Committee will have the following powers:

 

 A-2 

 

a.consistent with the terms of this Charter, to meet with and obtain information and reports from the Funds’ service providers on such subjects relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Committee;

 

b.to recommend to the Board appropriate action with respect to any matter within the scope of the Committee’s duties and responsibilities;

 

c.to consult with counsel to the Funds or to the Independent Trustees, as appropriate, concerning the requirements of the 1940 Act applicable to the selection and qualification of Independent Trustees and to retain at the Funds’ expense and receive the advice and assistance of such additional experts as it may deem necessary in connection with its work, it being the Board’s intention that the Committee have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities as set out in this Charter;

 

d.to delegate any portion of its authority to one or more members, with any action taken pursuant to such delegation to be reported to the Committee at its next meeting; and

 

e.to perform such other duties as are consistent with the Committee’s purposes or are assigned to the Committee by the Board from time to time..

Meetings

 

A majority of the members of the Committee must be present in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of the Committee’s business. The Committee will hold, whether in person or by telephone conference, such regular or special meetings, pursuant to such notice and call as it may determine in its discretion. The Committee may also act by written consent to action without a meeting, as permitted by the Funds’ organizational documents. The Committee will prepare minutes for each meeting, and such minutes will be provided to the Board and maintained in the records of the Funds.

 

Limitation of Responsibilities

 

Absent actual knowledge to the contrary, each Committee member is entitled to rely upon (1) the integrity and competence of those persons and organizations that render services to the Funds and from whom the Committee receives information or reports and (2) the accuracy and completeness (both at the time of presentation and on a continuing basis, as appropriate) of the information and reports provided to the Committee by such persons or organizations. Nothing in this Charter is intended to impose, or should be interpreted as imposing, on any member of the Committee any additional duties or responsibilities over and above those placed on the member in his or her capacity as a Trustee of the Funds under applicable federal and state law.

 

Review of Charter

 

The Committee will review this Charter from time to time and recommend any changes it deems appropriate to the Board. The Board also may make changes to this Charter from time to time, with or without a prior recommendation by the Committee. This Charter, including any amendments to it, will be maintained in the records of the Funds.

 

The foregoing Charter was reviewed and approved by the Boards of Trustees of each Fund (except MainStay Funds Trust and MainStay VP Funds Trust) at a meeting held on June 7, 2007, by the Board of Trustees of MainStay Funds Trust at a meeting held on April 8, 2009, and by the Board of Trustees of MainStay VP Funds Trust at a meeting held on December 15, 2010; amended by the Boards of each Fund at a meeting held on December 14, 2011.

THE MAINSTAY FUNDS

MAINSTAY VP FUNDS TRUST

MAINSTAY DEFINEDTERM MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND

 

Policies for Consideration of Board Member Candidates

 

Pursuant to the Charter of the Nominating & Governance Committees of MainStay Funds Trust, The MainStay Funds, MainStay VP Funds Trust, and MainStay DefinedTerm Municipal Opportunities Fund (collectively, the “Nominating & Governance Committee” of the “Funds”), the Nominating & Governance Committee is charged with evaluating the qualifications of candidates to serve on the Boards of Directors/Trustees (collectively, the “Board”) and with making nominations for members of the Board who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) (“Independent Directors”). These Policies shall apply to the Nominating & Governance Committee’s consideration of Board member candidates.

 

Qualification of Candidates

 

In assessing the qualifications of a candidate for membership on the Board, the Nominating & Governance Committee may consider the candidate’s potential contribution to the operation of the Board and its committees, and such other factors as it may deem relevant, such as those set forth in Schedule A to these Policies. The Nominating & Governance Committee may solicit suggestions for nominations from any source it deems appropriate. The Nominating & Governance Committee also may engage independent consultants, as it deems necessary or appropriate, for the purpose of making recommendations concerning Board member candidates. All equally qualified candidates will be treated equally in consideration by the Nominating & Governance Committee.

 

No person shall be qualified to be a Board member unless the Nominating & Governance Committee, in consultation with legal counsel, has determined that such person, if selected or elected as a Board member, would not cause the Funds to be in violation of, or not in compliance with: (a) applicable law, regulation or regulatory interpretation; (b) the Funds’ organizational documents; or (c) any policy adopted by the Board regarding either the retirement age of any Board member or the percentage of the Board that would be composed of Independent Directors.

 

Nominations from Shareholders

 

While the Nominating & Governance Committee is solely responsible for evaluating and nominating candidates to serve on the Board, the Nominating & Governance Committee may consider nominations from shareholders of MainStay Funds Trust, The MainStay Funds, and MainStay Defined Term Municipal Opportunities Fund and owners of variable annuity contracts or variable universal life insurance policies that have selected MainStay VP Funds Trust as an investment option (collectively, “Shareholders”). Shareholders may submit for the Nominating & Governance Committee’s consideration recommendations regarding potential candidates for service on the Board. Each eligible Shareholder or shareholder group may submit no more than one candidate each calendar year.

 

In order for the Nominating & Governance Committee to consider Shareholder submissions, the following requirements must be satisfied regarding the candidate:

 

(a)The candidate must satisfy all qualifications provided herein and in the Funds’ organizational documents, including qualification as a possible Independent Director if the candidate is to serve in that capacity.

 

 B-1 

 

 

(b)The candidate may not be the nominating Shareholder, a member of the nominating shareholder group or a member of the immediate family of the nominating Shareholder or any member of the nominating shareholder group.[1]

 

(c)Neither the candidate nor any member of the candidate’s immediate family may be currently employed or employed within the year prior to the nomination by any nominating shareholder entity or entity in a nominating shareholder group.

 

(d)Neither the candidate nor any immediate family member of the candidate is permitted to have accepted directly or indirectly, during the year of the election for which the candidate’s name was submitted, during the immediately preceding calendar year, or during the year when the candidate’s name was submitted, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the nominating Shareholder or any member of a nominating shareholder group.

 

(e)The candidate may not be an executive officer, director (or person fulfilling similar functions) of the nominating Shareholder or any member of the nominating shareholder group, or of an affiliate of the nominating Shareholder or any such member of the nominating shareholder group.

 

(f)The candidate may not control the nominating Shareholder or any member of the nominating shareholder group (or, in the case of a holder or member that is a fund, an interested person of such holder or member as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act).

 

(g)A Shareholder or shareholder group may not submit for consideration a candidate which has previously been considered by the Nominating & Governance Committee.

 

In order for the Nominating & Governance Committee to consider Shareholder submissions, the following requirements must be satisfied regarding the Shareholder or shareholder group submitting the candidate:

 

(a)The Nominating & Governance Committee only will consider Shareholder submissions that are received within the one year immediately preceding the Nominating & Governance Committee’s consideration of Board member candidates.

 

(b)Any Shareholder or shareholder group submitting a candidate must beneficially own, either individually or in the aggregate, more than 5% of the securities of a series of the Funds that are eligible to vote both at the time of submission of the candidate and at the time of the Board member election. Each of the securities used for purposes of calculating this ownership must have been held continuously for at least two years as of the date of the nomination. In addition, such securities must continue to be held through the date of the meeting. The nominating Shareholder or shareholder group must also bear the economic risk of the investment.

 

Shareholders or shareholder groups submitting candidates to the Nominating & Governance Committee must substantiate compliance with the above requirements, at the time of submitting the candidate, to the attention of the Funds’ Secretary, who will provide all submissions meeting the requirements stated herein to the Nominating & Governance Committee. This submission to the Secretary of the Funds must include:

1        The terms “immediate family member” and “control” shall be interpreted in accordance with the federal securities laws.
