    BNY Mellon International Fund

    Overview

    Why invest in this Fund?

    The fund seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of foreign issuers. Foreign issuers are companies organized under the laws of a foreign country, whose principal trading market is in a foreign country or with a majority of their assets or business outside the United States. The fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. Though not specifically limited, the fund ordinarily will invest in a broad range of (and in any case at least five different) countries. The fund will limit its investments in any single company to no more than 5% of the fund's net assets at the time of purchase.

    The stocks purchased may have value and/or growth characteristics. The fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (NIMNA), an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNYIA), employs a bottom-up investment approach which emphasizes individual stock selection.

    The stock selection process is designed to produce a diversified portfolio that, relative to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index, has a below-average price/earnings ratio and an above-average earnings growth trend.

    The fund typically sells a stock when, in the view of the fund's sub-adviser, it appears less likely to benefit from the current market and economic environment, shows deteriorating fundamentals or declining momentum, or falls short of the expectations of the fund's sub-adviser.

          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.
          The fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. These special risks include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged.
          Emerging markets tend to be more volatile than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries.
          Please refer to the prospectus for a more complete discussion of the fund's main risks.
