    BNY Mellon Short Term 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 substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal personal income tax. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds rated, at the time of purchase, investment grade (Baa/BBB or higher) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Insight North America LLC, the fund's sub-adviser. For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal bonds rated, at the time of purchase, below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds) to as low as Caa/CCC or the unrated equivalent as determined by the fund's sub-adviser. The fund invests principally in municipal bonds with remaining maturities or mandatory puts of five years or less and generally maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of one to three years.

    Yield fluctuates and past performance is no guarantee of future results.

    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.

    * Based on maximum combined federal and Medicare tax of 40.80%. Other taxes not included.

    Portfolio Turnover Rate - It is a measure of how quickly securities in a fund are either bought or sold by the fund's managers, over a given period of time.

    Average Effective Maturity (AEM) - is a measure of maturity that takes into account the possibility that a bond might be called back by the issuer. For a portfolio of bonds, average effective maturity is the weighted average of the maturities of the underlying bonds.

    Average Effective Duration - It is used to measure the market price sensitivity of the fund’s portfolio holdings to changes in interest-rates. Duration is not a complete measure of bond risk and may not be successful.

    Yield To Worst - The holding-weighted average rate of return for a portfolio equal to the discount rate of interest and principal cash flows where the principal is returned at the earliest allowable date. If the earliest return of principal is at the stated maturity the Yield to Maturity % will be the same as the Yield to Worst %.

    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 Bloomberg Municipal Bond: 3-Year Index (1-3) is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the investment grade, geographically unrestricted 3-year tax-exempt bond market, consisting of municipal bonds with maturities of 1-3 years. Investor cannot invest directly in any index.

    The total return performance figures presented for Class Y shares of the fund represent the performance of the fund's Class D for periods prior to July 01, 2013, the inception date for Class Y shares, and the performance of Class Y, 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.

    When applicable, returns reflect a contractual expense reduction, without which returns would have been lower. Please see contractual expense reduction information, if any, in the Prospectus Fee Table below.

          Main Risks

          Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity, call and market risks, to varying degrees. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes and rate increases can cause price declines.

          The fund is non-diversified, which means the fund may invest in a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. Performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market of a single issuer.

          Municipal income may be subject to state and local taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.

          High yield bonds involve increased credit and liquidity risk than higher-rated bonds and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer's ability to pay interest and repay principal on a timely basis.

          Risk Metrics

          As of  07/31/25  3-Year Trailing Standard Deviation Alpha Beta R-Squared Sharpe Ratio
          DMYBX
          		2.54 -1.51 0.33 84.23 -1.02

          All risk metrics are provided by Morningstar. The index used in the calculations are determined by Morningstar which may not be the funds primary benchmark. The index Morningstar used for this analysis is Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index.


          Alpha - Alpha is a measure of a security's or portfolio's excess return.

          Beta - Beta is a measure of a security’s or portfolio’s volatility, or systematic risk.

          R-Squared - R-squared is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund’s or security’s movements that are explained by movements in a benchmark index.

          Sharpe Ratio - Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure that measures reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better.

          Standard Deviation - Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the degree to which an individual portfolio return tends to vary from the mean, based on the entire population. The greater the degree of dispersion, the greater the degree of risk. In mutual funds, the standard deviation tells us how much the return on the fund is deviating from the expected normal returns.
