“The announcement of the R6 share class reflects our commitment to offering MainStay Funds to the DCIO market,” said Tom Smythe, director and head of New York Life’s defined contribution investment-only channel (DCIO). “By allowing qualified plan sponsors to separate investment management fees from recordkeeping and administrative fees, the R6 share class broadens the number of qualified plans that can offer MainStay Funds.”  

MainStay’s new R6 Shares will be offered at net asset value (NAV) without front-end sales charges, contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC), or 12b-1 fees.
