About MHCAX

NYLI MacKay High Yield Corporate Bond Class A is a mutual fund that seeks maximum current income by investing at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high-yield corporate debt securities, rated below investment grade or unrated but deemed comparable in quality, with capital appreciation as a secondary goal. Managed by experienced credit specialists at MacKay Shields with over 40 years in fixed-income investing, it employs a disciplined process combining bottom-up fundamental credit analysis and proprietary relative-value discipline to manage risk effectively. The fund features lower exposure to the riskiest CCC-rated bonds compared to benchmarks, contributing to reduced credit risk while aiming for equity-like returns with lower volatility and outperformance across market cycles. High-yield bonds provide attractive income potential over traditional fixed-income, alongside diversification benefits due to low correlation with other sectors. Supporting a total net asset base exceeding $11 billion, it holds over 600 securities, including notable positions in issuers like Great Outdoors Group and TransDigm, and intends monthly distributions from net investment income. Class A shares carry a maximum 4.5% initial sales charge and 0.96% expense ratio.
