The Fund may invest in such derivatives to try to enhance returns or reduce the risk of loss by hedging certain of its holdings. Investment Process: New York Life Investment Management LLC (New York Life Investment Management) uses statistical techniques to determine which stocks are to be purchased or sold to replicate the S&P 500 Index to the extent feasible. From time to time, adjustments may be made in the Fund's holdings because of changes in the composition of the S&P 500 Index. The correlation between the investment performance of the Fund and the S&P 500 Index is expected to be at least 0.95, before charges, fees and expenses, on an annual basis. A correlation of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation, which would be achieved when the net asset value of the Fund, including the value of its dividend and capital gains distributions, increases or decreases in exact proportion to changes in the S&P 500 Index. The Fund is classified as a diversified investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). However, the Fund may become non-diversified under the 1940 Act without the approval of shareholders solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of its benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index, which it seeks to track.
