    BNY Mellon Investment Portfolios, Small Cap Stock Index Portfolio

    Why invest in this Fund?

    The fund seeks to match the performance of the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index.

    To pursue this goal, the fund invests in a representative sample of stocks included in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, and in futures whose performance is related to the index, rather than attempt to replicate the index.

    The fund attempts to have a correlation between its performance and that of the index of at least .95, before expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the fund and the index were perfectly correlated.

    The fund's portfolio investments are selected by a 'sampling' process based on market capitalization, industry representation and other means. Sampling is a statistical process used to select stocks so that the portfolio has investment characteristics that closely approximate those of the index. The fund expects to invest in approximately 500 or more of the stocks in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. However, at times, the fund may be fully invested in all the stocks that comprise the index. Under these circumstances, the fund maintains approximately the same weighting for each stock as the index does.

        Main Risks

        An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program.
        While stocks have historically been a leading choice of long-term investors, they do fluctuate in price. The value of your investment in the fund will go up and down, which means that you could lose money.
        Compared to larger, more established companies, smaller companies are subject to more erratic market movements and carry additional risks because their earnings tend to be less predictable and their stocks less liquid and more volatile.
        The fund does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the effects of any long-term periods of poor stock performance.
        Please refer to the prospectus for a more complete discussion of the fund's main risks.
