New York Life and MainStay Investments are all about delivering long-term results to our clients. We have four distinct attributes that we believe give us a competitive advantage, making us a premier provider of mutual funds and retirement income solutions:



A Heritage of Financial Strength
Our parent company, New York Life Insurance Company, has a long history of integrity and financial strength.1

With our multi-boutique structure, investors can access highly specialized institutional asset managers through MainStay Funds, closed end funds, alternative strategies, and separately managed accounts.2


Guaranteed Income Solutions
As the leading provider of income annuities in the industry, we are able to provide clients with a guaranteed income stream for a specified period of time or for the duration of their life.3


Thought Leadership
We provide investment insights, perspectives, and wealth-building and wealth-preservation educational tools.
