To Be Held On October 23, 2017

Introduction
This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) of The MainStay Funds (“Trust”), a Massachusetts business 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 10:00 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:
1. | To elect eight Trustees to the Board of Trustees of the Trust; and |
2. | To transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting. |
The Board has recommended that Proposal 1 (the “Proposal”) be presented to all shareholders of the Funds for their consideration and approval. Although the Trustees believe that the Proposal is in the best interests of each Fund, the final decision to approve the Proposal is up to you. After careful consideration, the Board recommends that you voteFOR the 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 the Funds 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 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 Proposal 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 Proposal.

PROPOSAL
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, MainStay Funds Trust, 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 October 31, 2016, from the Fund Complex. The Fund Complex consists of the Trust, MainStay Funds Trust, 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.

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.
9
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.
Board Committees
Trustees. The committees of the Board include the Audit Committee, the Contracts Committee, the Investment Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee. The Funds also have established a Valuation Committee and Valuation Subcommittee, which may include members who are not Trustees.
Audit Committee. The purposes of the Audit Committee, which meets at least twice annually, are to oversee the Funds’ processes for accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and related internal controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The Nominating and Governance Committee has adopted Policies for Consideration of Trustee candidates (the “Candidate Policy”), formal policies on the consideration of Trustee candidates, including nominees recommended by shareholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee may solicit suggestions for nominations from any source, which it deems appropriate, including independent consultants engaged specifically for such a purpose.
Shareholders or shareholder groups submitting candidates to the Nominating and Governance Committee must show that the candidate satisfies the Nominating and Governance Committee qualifications for submission, at the time of submitting the candidate to the attention of the Trust’s Secretary, who will provide all qualified submissions to the Nominating and Governance Committee. 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 applicableFund 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. It shall be in the Nominating and Governance Committee's sole discretion whether to seek corrections of a deficient submission or to exclude a candidate from consideration.
Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee. The purpose of the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee is to assist the Board in overseeing the policies, procedures, practices and systems relating to identifying and managing the various risks and compliance matters that are or may be applicable to the Trust. The Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee serves as the primary link between significant areas of risk management and compliance that may affect theFunds, their investment adviser and investment subadvisors, and other service providers to the Trust. The Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee also oversees the implementation of the Trust’s proxy voting policies and procedures. 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. TheFunds' 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 theFunds that are required to be reasonably designed to ensure compliance by theFunds and their primary service providers with applicable federal securities laws. TheFunds’ 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 theFunds are or may be exposed. The Chief Risk Officer of the Manager shall oversee Fund management’s execution of its aforementioned risk management responsibilities. The members of the Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee include: David H. Chow (Chairman), Susan B. Kerley, Alan R. Latshaw, Peter Meenan, Richard H. Nolan, Jr., Jacques P. Perold and Richard S. Trutanic. The Risk and Compliance Oversight Committee held4 meetings during the fiscal year endedOctober 31, 2016.
11
Valuation Committee. The purposes of the Valuation Committee are to oversee the implementation of the Trust’s valuation procedures and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board as specified in such valuation procedures. The members of the Valuation Committee include: Christopher Feind (Chairman), Jack R. Benintende, Kevin M. Bopp (non-voting member), David H. Chow, J. Kevin Gao, Dale A. Hanley, Ping Jiang, Susan B. Kerley, Alan R. Latshaw, Peter Meenan, Richard H. Nolan, Jr., Jacques P. Perold and Richard S. Trutanic. The Valuation Committee meets as often as necessary to ensure that each action taken by the Valuation Subcommittee is reviewed within a calendar quarter of such action. The Valuation Committee held4 meetings during the fiscal year endedOctober 31, 2016.
Valuation Subcommittee. The purposes of the Valuation Subcommittee, which meets on an as needed basis, are to establish prices of securities for which market quotations are not readily available or the prices of which are not often readily determinable pursuant to the Trust’s valuation procedures. Meetings may be held in person or by telephone conference call. The Subcommittee may also take action via electronic mail in lieu of a meeting pursuant to the guidelines set forth in the valuation procedures. The members of the Valuation Subcommittee include: Jack R. Benintende, Kevin M. Bopp (non-voting member), Christopher Feind, J. Kevin Gao, Thomas J. Girard, Dale A. Hanley, Amaury Rzad and Ping Jiang. The Valuation Subcommittee held132 meetings during the fiscal year endedOctober 31, 2016.
It is expected that the compensation structure for the Trustees will not change as a result of the approval of the Proposal.
It is expected that the Board will meet at least quarterly at regularly scheduled meetings. 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
12
VOTING INFORMATION
This Proxy Statement is being provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board to solicit your vote for the Proposal at the Special Meeting, which will be held on October 23, 2017, at 10:00 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 Proposal.
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 the holders of the majority of outstanding shares of a Fund on the Record Date shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of all business.
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.
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).
Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the Proposal.
13
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 the 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 million and $1.2 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.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services
(1) Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for the Trust (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP for the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by KPMG LLP in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were as follows.
Fiscal Period Ended
| Fees |
October 31, 2016 | $690,100 |
October 31, 2015 | $656,500 |
(2) Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by KPMG LLP to the Trust that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Trust’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (1) above were as follows:
Fiscal Period Ended
| Fees |
October 31, 2016 | $2,500 |
October 31, 2015 | $0 |
These audit-related services included review of financial highlights for the Funds’ registration statements and issuance of consents to use of the auditor’s reports.
(3) Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed to the Trust in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the last two fiscal years were as follows:
Fiscal Period Ended
| Fees |
October 31, 2016 | $0 |
October 31, 2015 | $0 |
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 the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, and (ii) $0 during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.
All non-audit fees billed by KPMG LLP for services rendered to the Funds for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2016 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 for the year ended October 31, 2016, and (ii) $0 for the year ended 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.
Exhibit B-1 |
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.

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 |
5. | Oversee the self-assessment of the Board, its committees and its members. |
In carrying out these purposes, the Committee will, as it deems necessary or appropriate:
A-1 |
Fund Governance
1. | provide recommendations to the Board for improving the effectiveness of the Board in carrying out its responsibilities in governing the Funds and overseeing the management of the Funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the responsibilities of the Board and its committees; (ii) the relationship of the Board to the adviser(s) to the Funds; (iii) the standard of conduct expected of members of the Board, (iv) the respective functions of the Chairman of the Board and the officers of the Funds, and (v) the process of Board self-assessment. |
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. |
Self-assessment of the Board and its Members
1. | The Committee shall recommend a plan and schedule to the Board for annual self-assessment by the Board, its committees and its individual members. |
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. |
A-2 |
Powers of the Committee
In carrying out its purposes, the Committee will have the following powers:
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. |
Reporting
At each regular meeting of the Board following a Committee meeting, the Committee will report to the Board on its activities and its findings and recommendations, if any.
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.

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.

(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. |

(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:

In addition the certification shall provide that the shares have been held 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; |
1 The terms “immediate family member” and “control” shall be interpreted in accordance with the federal securities laws.

(e) | A notarized letter executed by the candidate, stating his or her intention to serve as a candidate and be named in the Funds’ proxy statement, if so designated by the Nominating & Governance Committee and the Funds’ Board. |
