BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund

Overview

Why invest in this Fund?

The fund seeks to match the total return of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (the 'Index'). Accordingly, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds that are included in the Index.

To maintain liquidity, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in various short-term, fixed-income securities and money market instruments. The fund's investments are selected by a "sampling" process, a statistical process used to select bonds.

Morningstar Rating™ as of December 31, 2021 for the Investor Shares class shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Overall rating for the Intermediate Core Bond category. Fund ratings are out of 5 Stars: Overall 2 Stars (386 funds rated); 3 Yrs. 2 Stars (386 funds rated); 5 Yrs. 2 Stars (348 funds rated); 10 Yrs. 2 Stars (253 funds rated). The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products with at least a 3-year history. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance (not including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees if applicable), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Managed products; including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds; are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. ©2021 Morningstar, Inc.

        Main Risks

        Bonds are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, call and market risks, to varying degrees. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes and rate increases can cause price declines.
        The fund uses an indexing strategy. It does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the effects of any long-term periods of poor stock performance.
        Recent market risks include pandemic risks related to COVID-19. The effects of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more dramatically than others. To the extent the fund may overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market sectors, such positions will increase the fund's exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors.
