About MainStay

MainStay is the advisor distribution arm of a top institutional money manager that has over $225 billion in assets and is ranked among the top 40 managers in the world.1 We are part of New York Life Insurance Company known for its long history of integrity and strong company values. We are organized as a multi-boutique investment manager, offering advisors single access to the diverse expertise of several established institutional boutiques with the autonomy to focus on their unique investment styles and core competencies. Our organizational culture prides itself on the promotion of ideas and cultivates the passion and energy of our people.

We give advisors four distinct advantages over other investment firms:

> Multi-Boutique Investment Management
We believe that the key to generating consistent returns is organizing around autonomous institutional investment boutiques. Each boutique preserves the integrity of its own investment process and culture leading to greater consistency of returns for clients. Collectively, the boutiques offer a disciplined investment approach, long-term performance strategies, and a powerful mix of solution-based investment products, including mutual funds and managed accounts.
> Proven Business-Building Programs
Successful advisors are looking for simple and proven revenue-generating programs. Our actionable LifeFolio and RetirementFolio tools help advisors continually develop business from new and existing clients as well as educate clients about important issues, including retirement income and legacy planning.
> Highly-Visible, Hands-On Senior Wholesalers
Our Senior Wholesalers are hired and trained to be business-building experts. They are true advocates of the tools, training, and actionable programs that allow advisors to better respond to increasing client demands and an ever-changing investment environment.
> Integrity for the Long Term
Integrity in business dealings and relationships is a core value of MainStay and important to clients. Moreover, our company has deep roots in tradition and values—we are part of New York Life, one of America's oldest and most respected financial institutions.
