BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund

    Overview

    Why invest in this Fund?

    The fund seeks capital appreciation.

    The fund's investment strategy provides exposure to various mid cap equity portfolio managers, investment strategies and styles. The fund's investment adviser has allocated the fund's assets among multiple investment strategies employed by the fund's investment adviser and unaffiliated sub-investment advisers known as Boston Partners Global Investors Inc. (Boston Partners), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robeco US Holding, Inc., and Henderson Geneva Capital Management LLC (Geneva). To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of mid cap companies. The fund currently considers mid cap companies to be those companies with market capitalizations that are within the market capitalization range of companies comprising the Russell Midcap? Index, the fund's primary benchmark index. The fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in the equity securities of foreign issuers, including those in emerging market countries. The fund is designed to provide exposure to various mid cap portfolio managers, investment strategies and styles. The fund may purchase securities of companies in initial public offerings (IPOs) or shortly thereafter. The fund may also invest in publicly-traded real estate investment trusts and exchange-traded funds and similarly structured pooled investments. The fund's investment adviser determines the investment strategies and sets the target allocations and ranges. Allocations, which may be changed without shareholder approval or prior notice, include the following underlying strategies:

    1. Mid Cap Tax-Sensitive Core Strategy (Target: 30%; Range: 0% to 50%). This strategy's portfolio manager seeks to actively and opportunistically realize capital gains and/or losses as determined to be appropriate to improve the tax-sensitivity of the portfolio's investment performance. Thomas Murphy, the director of tax-managed equity at BNY Mellon Wealth Management and an employee of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., is the primary portfolio manager of the strategy.

    2. Opportunistic Mid Cap Value Strategy (Target: 20%; Range: 0% to 30%). This strategy's portfolio manager uses an opportunistic value approach to identify stocks whose current market prices trade at a large discount to their intrinsic value. The strategy is managed by a team of portfolio managers employed by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and Mellon Investments Corporation.

    3. Mid Cap Growth Strategy (Target: 20%; Range: 0% to 30%). In constructing this portion of the fund's portfolio, the portfolio managers use a "growth style" of investing, searching for companies whose fundamental strengths suggest the potential to provide superior earnings growth over time. Todd W. Wakefield, CFA and Robert C. Zeuthen, CFA, and John R. Porter since March 2017, employees of both Mellon Investments Corporation and BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., are the strategy?s portfolio managers.

    4. Boston Partners Mid Cap Value Strategy (Target: 20%; Range: 0% to 30%). The portion of the fund's assets allocated to this strategy normally is invested in a diversified portfolio of mid cap stocks identified as having value characteristics. Joseph F. Feeney, Jr., CFA and Steven L. Pollack, CFA are the strategy's portfolio managers.

    5. Henderson Geneva Mid Cap Growth Strategy (Target: 10%; Range: 0% to 30%). A mid cap growth strategy. William A. Priebe, CFA, Amy S. Croen, CFA, Michelle J. Picard, CFA and William Scott Priebe are the strategy's portfolio managers.

    The fund is permitted to use a "multimanager" arrangement whereby the fund's investment adviser may select one or more sub-investment advisers to manage distinct segments of the fund's portfolio without obtaining shareholder approval.

    The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell Midcap® Index is a subset of the Russell 1000® Index. It includes approximately 800 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell Midcap® Index represents approximately 31% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 companies. The Russell Midcap® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the mid-cap segment. The index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true mid-cap opportunity set. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

          MORNINGSTAR CATEGORY Mid-Cap Growth

          Morningstar Rating™ as of 08/31/24 for the Class M shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Overall rating for the Mid-Cap Growth. Fund ratings are out of 5 Stars: Overall 4 Stars (510 funds rated); 3 Yrs. 4 Stars (510 funds rated); 5 Yrs. 4 Stars (477 funds rated); 10 Yrs. 3 Stars (379 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.

          LIPPER CLASSIFICATION Mid-Cap Growth Funds

          Lipper Category returns and rankings as of 08/31/24, 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

          Equity funds are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer, and investment style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund's prospectus.
          Midsized companies carry additional risks because their operating histories tend to be more limited, their earnings and revenues less predictable, and their share prices more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. The shares of smaller companies tend to tradeless frequently than those of larger, more established companies.
          Please refer to the prospectus for a more complete discussion of the fund's main risks.
