Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Trustees
New York Life Investments Funds Trust:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
NYLI Cushing MLP Premier Fund (the Fund), as of and for the year ended
November 30, 2025, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the Fund's
internal control over financial reporting, including controls over
safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for
the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to
comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess
the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the
design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in
the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of
the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was
for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not
necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we
noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting
and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of November 30,2025.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management
and the Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.
