BNY Mellon National Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

    Overview

    Why invest in this Fund?

    The fund seeks to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent 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 that provide income exempt from federal income tax. The fund occasionally, including for temporary defensive purposes, may invest in taxable bonds.

    The fund's investments in municipal and taxable bonds must be of investment grade quality (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) 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 SEC 30-day Yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period (calculated in accordance with regulatory guidelines) by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.

    Unsubsidized yield displays what the fund's 30-Day SEC Yield would have been had no fee waiver or expense reimbursement been in place during the period.

    The taxable-equivalent yield is the return that a taxable bond fund needs to possess for its yield to equal the yield on a comparable tax-exempt bond fund, such as a municipal bond fund.

    Tax rates are subject to change; please consult with your financial or tax professional for information concerning your specific situation.

          MORNINGSTAR CATEGORY Municipal National Intermediate

          Morningstar Rating™ as of 08/31/24 for the Class M shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Overall rating for the Municipal National Intermediate. Fund ratings are out of 5 Stars: Overall 3 Stars (265 funds rated); 3 Yrs. 3 Stars (265 funds rated); 5 Yrs. 3 Stars (244 funds rated); 10 Yrs. 3 Stars (180 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 Intermediate Municipal Debt 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

          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.
