    BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

    Why invest in this Fund?

    The fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

    To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds, the interest from which is exempt from federal and Massachusetts state personal income taxes. The fund also may invest in municipal bonds that are exempt from federal income taxes, but not Massachusetts personal income taxes, and in taxable bonds.

    The fund's investments in municipal and taxable bonds must be of investment grade (i.e. Baa/BBB or higher) quality at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the investment adviser. Generally, the fund's average effective portfolio maturity will be between three and ten years and its average effective portfolio duration will not exceed eight years. The fund may invest in individual municipal and taxable bonds of any maturity or duration.

    In calculating average effective portfolio maturity and average effective portfolio duration, the fund may treat a security that can be repurchased by its issuer on an earlier date (known as a "call date") as maturing on the call date rather than on its stated maturity date.

    The performance data quotes represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Yield, share price and investment return fluctuate and an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than original cost upon redemption. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Click above for month-end returns.

    The S&P Municipal Bond Investment Grade Intermediate Index consists of bonds in the S&P Municipal Bond Index that are rated at least BBB- by Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 by Moody’s or BBB- by Fitch Ratings. All bonds must also have a minimum maturity of 3 years and a maximum maturity of up to, but not including, 15 years as measured from the rebalancing date. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

    The total return performance figures presented for Investor Shares shares of the fund represent the performance of the fund's Class A for periods prior to September 06, 2002, the inception date for Investor Shares shares, and the performance of Investor Shares, respectively, from that inception date. Performance reflects the applicable class' distribution/servicing fees since the inception date. Had these fees and expenses been reflected for periods prior, performance would have been different.

    Investors should consider, when deciding whether to purchase a particular class of shares, the investment amount, anticipated holding period and other relevant factors.

          MORNINGSTAR CATEGORY Municipal Massachusetts


          Morningstar Rating™ as of 02/29/24 for the Investor Shares shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Overall rating for the Municipal Massachusetts. Fund ratings are out of 5 Stars: Overall 3 Stars (42 funds rated); 3 Yrs. 4 Stars (42 funds rated); 5 Yrs. 3 Stars (41 funds rated); 10 Yrs. 3 Stars (32 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. © Morningstar, Inc.

The fund represents a single portfolio with multiple share classes that have different expense structures. Other share classes may have achieved different results.

          Lipper Category returns and rankings as of 02/29/24, are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Category returns represent the average performance of included funds, while rankings compare an individual fund's returns to those of the other funds in its category. Both are based on total return performance, with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front or back-end sales charges. Rankings begin with the actual share class inception. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns. Rankings do not reflect sales loads

          Main Risks

          The fund is subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity, call, and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund's prospectus.
          Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes and rate increases can cause price declines.
          High yield bonds are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer's perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay principal upon maturity.
          Investing primarily in a single state may make the fund's portfolio securities more sensitive to risks specific to the state.
          Please refer to the prospectus for a more complete discussion of the fund's main risks..
