DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)
For the period of September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by John C. Bailer, Brian C. Ferguson, and Keith Howell, Portfolio Managers of Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (NIMNA), the fund’s sub-adviser.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 7.57%, Investor shares produced a total return of 7.39%, Class A shares produced a total return of 7.41%, Class C shares produced a total return of 6.93%, Class I shares produced a total return of 7.42% and Class Y shares produced a total return of 7.45%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend™ Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 5.40% for the same period.2
Income-oriented stocks performed well as investors began to anticipate interest-rate reductions by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). The fund outperformed the Index mostly due to favorable security selection.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income). To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks. The fund seeks to focus on dividend-paying stocks and other investment techniques that produce income. We choose stocks through a disciplined investment process that combines quantitative modeling techniques, fundamental analysis and risk management. The fund emphasizes those stocks with value characteristics, although it may also purchase growth stocks. The fund may invest in the stocks of companies of any size, although it focuses on large-cap companies. The fund’s investment process is designed to provide investors with investment exposure to sector weightings and risk characteristics generally similar to those of the Index.
Equities Post Solid Gains
Equities markets benefited from a stronger-than-expected economy, easing inflation and investor anticipation that the Fed would begin cutting interest rates sometime in 2024. Strong interest in artificial intelligence also provided support. The primary beneficiaries of this support were large-cap companies, especially the “Magnificent Seven,” including Microsoft, Google, Apple and other mega-cap, growth-oriented companies.
The fourth quarter of 2023 started with a continuation of concerns about stronger-than-expected employment and growth data, coupled with inflation that remained slightly higher than anticipated, suggesting that the economy was running too hot. This pushed yields on Treasury bonds markedly higher. However, equities rebounded at the end of October on the back of sharply falling government bond yields, which were driven in part by lower inflation data for October and November. But a marked change in tone from the Fed also contributed, steering investors away from expectations of interest rates staying “higher for longer” and toward anticipating rate cuts in the first half of 2024.
The Fed’s change in tone became the chief catalyst for the equity market’s rally in the final few weeks of 2023 and heralded the prospect of achieving the “soft landing.” In aggregate, these gains far outweighed the losses experienced in October, and thus resulted in robust returns from equity markets over the quarter.
The market’s sector skew was undoubtedly beneficial, given the renewed vigor of technology, its largest exposure, in an environment of falling discount rates. However, the final two months of the year witnessed a broadening out of the performance contribution, both in terms of sectors and market capitalization.
Stocks continued to rise early in 2024, supported by strong economic data and the increasing likelihood that the Fed would achieve a “soft landing.” But the yield curve remained inverted, suggesting that the much-anticipated recession was still on the table.
While growth stocks performed well during the period, income-oriented stocks were hampered somewhat by a concern that interest-rate cuts by the Fed would be postponed until the second half of 2024. The November presidential election also figured into considerations, as investors believed the Fed would want to avoid appearing to be influenced by political considerations, potentially resulting in a delay in rate cuts.
Performance Aided Largely by Stock Selection
The fund’s outperformance versus the Index benefited mainly from stock selection decisions, with asset allocations also contributing somewhat. The financials sector was the leading performer. Shares of JP Morgan Chase & Co. were the leading contributor as the bank has continued to gain market share and has seen its net interest margins expand as a result of higher interest rates. Shares of insurance companies, which also benefit from higher interest rates, were also advantageous. The Allstate Corp., in particular, performed well, gaining from higher auto insurance premiums, which produced stronger profit margins. The utilities sector also contributed, where a position in Constellation Energy Corp., the largest owner and operator of nuclear power plants, was advantageous. The company is benefiting from incentives passed in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and from the growth of artificial intelligence, which requires energy-hungry data centers. The materials sector contributed positively as well. A position in CRH PLC., a construction materials company, continues to capitalize on the onshoring trend, which is resulting in large construction projects.
On a less positive note, positions in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors detracted from performance. In the consumer discretionary sector the fund’s position in International Game Technology PLC., a maker of slot machines and provider of lottery services declined. The company is attempting to sell its slot machine business and is facing some uncertainty regarding the renewal of its contract for the lottery in Italy. In the energy sector, shares of EQT Corp., a leading producer of natural gas, were hurt by lower natural gas prices stemming from a winter that has been milder than anticipated.
An Uncertain Outlook
We view the economic environment as highly uncertain. While the economy has been stronger than expected, signs of weakness have begun to appear. In addition, the yield curve remains inverted, and this typically signals future economic weakness.
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)
Accordingly, we are positioned to benefit from companies that will hold up in a weaker economic environment.
In this environment, we remain focused on high-quality companies with strong balance sheets and less need to refinance existing debt. On the other hand, we are also positioned to capitalize on a higher-rate environment. We particularly see opportunities among insurance companies, which typically benefit from higher interest rates.
In addition, some companies are likely to benefit from secular trends such as continued spending on infrastructure. Regardless of election results in November 2024, infrastructure spending is likely to continue, and we are positioned to capitalize on this trend.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. The fund’s returns reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. pursuant to an agreement in effect through December 29, 2024, for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y, at which time it may be extended, terminated or modified. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns for those share classes would have been lower.

For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by Alicia Levine of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Primary Portfolio Manager responsible for investment allocation decisions.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 11.32%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 11.21%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 11.53% for the reporting period.2 The Russell Midcap® Growth Index and Russell Midcap® Value Index, the fund’s secondary benchmarks, produced total returns of 16.53% and 9.49%, respectively, for the same period.3,4
Mid-cap stocks gained ground over the reporting period as inflation eased and investors began to anticipate the end of the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) monetary tightening program. The fund lagged the Index due to underperformance by three of the underlying strategies.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks capital appreciation. The fund pursues its goal by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of mid-cap companies. The fund considers mid-cap companies to be those companies with market capitalizations that are within the market-capitalization range of companies comprising the Index. Furthermore, the fund normally allocates assets across multiple investment strategies employed by the investment adviser and unaffiliated sub-investment advisers that invest primarily in equity securities issued by mid-cap companies. The investment adviser determines the investment strategies and sets target allocations and ranges. The fund is designed to provide exposure to various investment strategies and styles, including the Mid Cap Tax-Sensitive Core Strategy, Opportunistic Mid Cap Value Strategy, Mid Cap Growth Strategy, Boston Partners Mid Cap Value Strategy and Geneva Mid Cap Growth Strategy, all as more particularly described in the fund’s prospectus.
Equities Post Solid Gains
Equities markets benefited from a stronger-than-expected economy, easing inflation and investor anticipation that the Fed would begin cutting interest rates sometime in 2024. Strong interest in artificial intelligence (“AI”) also provided support. The primary beneficiaries of this support were large-cap companies, especially the “Magnificent Seven,” including Microsoft, Google, Apple and other mega-cap, growth-oriented companies.
The fourth quarter of 2023 started with a continuation of concerns about stronger-than-expected employment and growth data, coupled with inflation that remained slightly higher than anticipated, suggesting that the economy was running too hot.

However, equities rebounded at the end of October on the back of sharply falling government bond yields, which were driven in part by lower inflation data for October and November. But a marked change in tone from the Fed also contributed, steering investors away from expectations of interest rates staying “higher for longer” and toward anticipating rate cuts in the first half of 2024.
This change in tone from the Fed became the chief catalyst for the equity market’s rally in the final few weeks of 2023 and heralded the prospect of achieving the “soft landing.” In aggregate, these gains far outweighed the losses experienced in October and thus resulted in robust returns from equity markets over the quarter.

Stocks continued to rise early in 2024, supported by strong economic data and the increasing likelihood that the Fed would achieve a “soft landing.” But the yield curve remained inverted, suggesting that the much-anticipated recession was still on the table.
Performance Drivers Mixed
The fund’s overweight to the growth category, which outperformed the benchmark by ~5%, was hindered by manager underperformance during the period. The value strategies outperformed their respective benchmark and the overall mid-cap index but contribution to the portfolio’s active return was limited by the underweight. The fund’s overweight to the tax-sensitive strategy outperformed the benchmark and was a positive contributor to outperformance.
A Positive Outlook
We remain constructive on the outlook and think recession odds have decreased since the beginning of the year. A number of factors support this view. Corporate America appears to be in good financial health as the economy has outperformed expectations even as interest rates have increased. The stronger-than-expected economic growth suggests that the economy is less sensitive to higher interest rates than in the past.
In addition, we expect U.S. economic leadership to persist, particularly regarding AI, and, in fact, AI may already be having a positive effect on productivity. As a result, the odds of a “no landing” scenario, that is, continued expansion that avoids both the “hard landing” of a recession and the “soft landing” of a slowdown, appear to be increasing. Moreover, because an incumbent president is running for re-election, historical data suggest that the market will perform well in this election year. When an incumbent runs for re-election, returns average around 14%, easily beating the roughly flat performance that occurs when an incumbent does not run.
Some risks to this scenario exist, however. These include a softening in the job market and an inflationary environment that remains stickier than expected. Inflation could persist, particularly if housing prices continue to rise. Alternatively, the high level of debt service at the federal level could drive spending lower, potentially hindering economic growth. In addition, the precarious status of the commercial real estate market could affect regional banks. Finally, markets could be

derailed by geopolitical risks, including Ukraine, the Middle East and other hotspots.
Nevertheless, on balance, we think markets will finish the year higher, though there could be some interim consolidation, given the run-up over the last year and expectations for higher interest rates.
Given this environment, we are maintaining a bias in favor of domestic, large-cap stocks as U.S. outperformance is expected to continue. In fact, while cash remains relatively attractive, we believe that given the likelihood of the Fed easing in 2024-2025, cash is likely to underperform. In fact, history shows that staying in cash doesn’t work over the long run, while staying invested and diversified does.

Fund and Market Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 1.63%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 1.47%.1 In comparison, the fund’s primary benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 8.97% for the same period.2 The Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Value Index, the fund’s secondary benchmarks, produced total returns of 10.21% and 7.70%, respectively, for the same period.3,4
Small-cap stocks gained ground over the reporting period as inflation eased and investors began to anticipate the end of the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed) monetary tightening program. The fund lagged the Index, primarily due to the underperformance of the fund’s underlying strategies.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks capital appreciation. The fund pursues its goal by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small-cap companies. The fund currently considers small-cap companies to be those companies with market capitalizations that are equal to or less than the market capitalization of the largest company included in the Index. Furthermore, the fund normally allocates assets across multiple investment strategies employed by the investment adviser that invest primarily in equity securities issued by small-cap companies. The investment adviser determines the investment strategies and sets target allocations and ranges. The fund is designed to provide exposure to various investment strategies and styles, including the Opportunistic Small Cap Strategy, the Small Cap Value Strategy and the Small Cap Growth Strategy—all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus.

The November presidential election also figured into considerations, as investors believed the Fed would want to avoid appearing to be influenced by political considerations, potentially resulting in a delay in rate cuts.
Underlying Funds Hindered Performance
All three underlying funds detracted from relative performance. The primary detractor in the fund’s relative performance was the Small Cap Value Strategy, which subtracted 186 basis points (bps) from performance. An overweight to this category, however, helped to offset this effect somewhat. The Small Cap Opportunistic Strategy hampered returns as well, subtracting 180 bps from returns. The overweight to this category had a neutral effect. The Small Cap Growth Strategy also hampered relative returns, making a negative contribution of 73 bps. The decision to underweight this strategy also detracted from performance.
A Positive Outlook
We remain constructive on the outlook and think recession odds have decreased since the beginning of the year. A number of factors support this view. Corporate America appears to be in good financial health as the economy has outperformed expectations even as interest rates have increased.

For the period of September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by portfolio manager, James A. Lydotes, of Newton Investment Management North America, LLC, sub-adviser.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon International Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 6.21%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 6.06%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 9.23% for the same period.2
International equity markets posted gains as inflation eased, and investors began to anticipate an easing of tight monetary policy. The fund lagged the Index primarily due to unfavorable stock selections.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue this 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 size. 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 assets at the time of purchase.
The stocks purchased may have value and/or growth characteristics. The portfolio managers employ 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 Index, has a below-average price/earnings ratio and an above-average earnings growth trend.
Equities Post Solid Gains
Equities markets benefited from a stronger-than-expected economy, easing inflation and investor anticipation that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would begin cutting interest rates sometime in 2024. Strong interest in artificial intelligence (“AI”) also provided support. The primary beneficiaries of this support were large-cap companies, especially the “Magnificent Seven,” including Microsoft, Google, Apple and other mega-cap, growth-oriented companies.
The fourth quarter of 2023 started with a continuation of concerns about stronger-than-expected employment and growth data, coupled with inflation that remained slightly higher than anticipated, suggesting that the economy was running too hot.

The November presidential election also figured into considerations, as investors believed the Fed would want to avoid appearing to be influenced by political considerations, potentially resulting in a delay in rate cuts.
Stock Selection Drove Results
The fund lagged the Index due primarily to unfavorable stock selection. Selections in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors were a key to the relative underperformance. In health care, Bayer AG experienced a large failure in its drug pipeline, which left investors more skeptical about the company’s ability to manage through their planned restructuring. In addition, the company cut its dividend to focus on deleveraging the balance sheet. Given the continued enthusiasm around Ozempic and other GLP1 drugs for Type-2 diabetes, our lack of exposure there also negatively affected performance. Our performance in the consumer discretionary sector was hurt by a position in UK fashion retailer Burberry Group PLC. The company is managing through a restructuring, and that has taken longer than expected, which further pressured the shares over the last six months. Geographically, the worst-performing markets were Germany and the UK.
Positive contributors included stock selections in the materials and information technology sectors. In materials, a large and new position in CRH contributed. CRH, an Ireland-based building materials company, changed its primary exchange listing to the U.S. in an attempt to raise the profile of the business and to reflect its large exposure to that market. This resulted in a sizable rerating of the stock, which helped performance over the period. In information technology, strong performance by Japanese semiconductor equipment manufacturer Tokyo Electron Ltd. drove the outperformance in this sector over the period. The AI narrative continues to attract capital into the sector, and Tokyo Electron Ltd. should be very well positioned given their product lineup. Geographically, the best-performing markets were Ireland and Japan.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)
An Optimistic Outlook for International Stocks
The outlook for international equities continues to be very strong. We are nearly through the winter season, and like last year, the mild winter has been a benefit by helping to ease inflationary pressures on both the consumer and the industrial complex. In addition, with valuation levels remaining supportive in the region, we think this should be one of the biggest drivers of a value-driven market as the year progresses.

Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 4.26%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 4.02%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 4.93% for the same period.2
Emerging markets (EM) were quite volatile over the reporting period as investor sentiment rotated between expecting interest rates to stay “higher for longer” to anticipating rate cuts in the first half of 2024 and the prospect of achieving the preferred “soft landing.” In aggregate, the gains outweighed the losses, resulting in solid returns from global and emerging equity markets over the period. Many of the greatest gains among emerging markets came from Latin America and Indian stocks. China experienced a loss during the period, owing to continued market skepticism on the country’s economic recovery. The fund underperformed the Index. While the fund benefited mostly from stock selections in the information technology and communication services sectors, selection in financials detracted.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital growth. To pursue its goal, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies organized, or with a majority of assets or operations, in countries considered to be emerging markets. Emerging-markets countries generally include all countries represented by the Index. The fund may invest in companies of any size.
Normally, the fund will invest in a broad range of (and in any case, at least five different) emerging-markets countries. The stocks purchased may have value and/or growth characteristics. The portfolio managers employ 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 Index, has a below-average price/earnings ratio and an above-average earnings growth trend.
Inflation and China Influence Markets
EM stocks experienced volatility during the six-month reporting period, largely in response to inflation, U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) policy and Treasury bond yields. China also exerted some influence. But the Index finished higher for the period.
The early part of the period played out in two distinct phases. The first phase, comprising September and the majority of October 2023, witnessed equity market weakness, as stronger-than-expected U.S. employment and growth data, coupled with persistent inflation, suggested the U.S. economy was running too hot. This pushed yields on U.S. Treasury bonds markedly higher. In contrast, the second phase witnessed a dramatic rebound in equities on the back of sharply falling government bond yields. Lower inflation prints for October and November 2023 undoubtedly played a role in pushing yields down, as did the U.S. Treasury’s decision to focus issuance on short-dated maturities. However, a marked change in tone from the Fed steered investors away from expectations that interest rates would stay “higher for longer” and toward anticipating rate cuts in the first half of 2024. This became the chief catalyst for the equity market’s rally in the final few weeks of 2023, and heralded the prospect of achieving the much-favored “soft landing.” In aggregate, these gains far outweighed the losses experienced in October, resulting in robust returns from global and emerging equity markets over the quarter. Many of the greatest EM gains came from Latin America, following the Fed’s dovish pivot, and India, where investors were encouraged by favorable state election results. China experienced a loss during the quarter, owing to continued market skepticism on the economic recovery, as well as further regulatory uncertainty on gaming companies.
The new year started weakly, as negative sentiment pervaded, but losses in January 2024 were reversed in February, as emerging markets joined developed markets in registering a strong return over the month. Despite diminished expectations of an interest-rate cut in March, robust economic data and corporate earnings growth — particularly in the U.S. — boosted investor sentiment. EM-specific help came from China, with some positive consumer data around the lunar New Year and expectations of stimulus announcements from the National People’s Congress in March to address weakness in equity and property markets. The South Korean market was lifted by the government’s “Corporate Value-up Program,” which focuses on improving corporate governance and shareholder returns.
Performance Hindered by Stock Selection
The fund’s performance was hindered primarily by stock selections in the financials sector. While the fund enjoyed positive contributions from Grupo Financiero Banorte SAB de CV and Bank Mandiri Persero Tbk PT, this was outweighed by other selections. India’s HDFC Bank Ltd. struggled over the period as a tighter liquidity environment contributed to sluggish deposit growth. Hong Kong insurer AIA Group Ltd. underperformed as higher U.S. interest rates, China’s weak economic recovery and turmoil for the Hong Kong’s property sector affected sentiment for the stock. The fund’s lack of exposure to Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing was a further detractor.
On a more positive note, contributions from the information technology and communication services sectors were led by Taiwanese fabless semiconductor design company, MediaTek, Inc. The company announced progress in potential opportunities on edge artificial intelligence (AI) and revealed a double-digit, quarter-over-quarter increase in revenues and profits due to the bottoming and recovery of demand from the smart phone market. The position in ASML Holdings NV outperformed as well. Given its leadership position in extreme ultraviolet lithography and dominant position in the semiconductor supply chain, it was viewed as a business that is well-positioned as a beneficiary of AI demand. India’s Info Edge India Ltd. also performed well on confidence that an improvement in the global macroeconomic outlook would lead to a recovery in IT hiring, while strength in non-IT recruitment should offset near-term weakness. Weighing against this was the
11
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)
holding in battery maker Samsung SDI Co. Ltd., which underperformed on concerns about weakening sales of electric vehicles. Chinese technology company, Kingdee International Software Group Co. Ltd. also underperformed on concerns about decreasing demand.
In the consumer discretionary sector, performance was mixed, with gains edging out losses. Food services platform Zomato Ltd. performed well, with its quarterly numbers revealing that its operating margin had reached breakeven point on a consolidated basis. An underweight in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. was also a contributor, as its share price fell with the announcement that plans to spin off its cloud computing unit had been cancelled. Offsetting some of the gains was Chinese food-delivery platform Meituan, which warned of a slowdown in demand for its services. Shares of fast-food restaurant company Yum China Holdings, Inc. fell sharply after reporting softening consumer demand, but losses were pared in the last month of the review period, with Yum’s latest quarterly sales and earnings coming in ahead of estimates.
Attractive Opportunities in the Consumer Staples and Industrial Sectors
As long-term investors, we are excited about the prospects for emerging markets. In our opinion, the challenges of the last decade have also brought significant innovation in products and services across the region. The fund has exposure to companies with potential for strong, sustainable returns and long growth runways, either addressing evolving domestic needs or taking a share of global industries. Current valuations look compelling versus developed markets or, in some cases, versus their own history.
On a sector basis, the fund is most overweight in the consumer staples and industrials sectors. We are positive about the strong economic backdrop, which should benefit from nearshoring and a young and growing population. In addition, minimum wages are up strongly, and remittances income remains robust.

For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by Alicia Levine of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., Primary Portfolio Manager responsible for investment allocation decisions.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund (the “fund”) produced a total return of 8.61% for Class M shares, and 8.42% for Investor shares.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 7.36% for the same period.2
Global equities and bonds gained ground during the reporting period as inflationary pressures eased, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) paused its program of interest-rate hikes, and economic growth remained positive. The fund outperformed the Index with positive attribution led by fixed income and then equity.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks long-term growth of principal in conjunction with current income. The fund may invest in both individual securities and other investment companies, including other BNY Mellon funds, funds in the BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. Family of Funds and unaffiliated open-end funds, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “underlying funds”). To pursue its goal, the fund currently intends to allocate its assets, directly and/or through investment in the underlying funds, to gain investment exposure to the following asset classes: large-cap equities, small-cap and mid-cap equities, developed international and global equities, emerging-markets equities, investment grade bonds, high yield bonds, emerging-markets debt, diversifying strategies and money market instruments.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (“BNYM Investment Adviser”) allocates the fund’s investments among these asset classes using fundamental and quantitative analysis and its outlook for the economy and financial markets. The underlying funds are selected by BNYM Investment Adviser based on its investment objectives and management policies, portfolio holdings, risk/reward profiles, historical performance and other factors, including the correlation and covariance among the underlying funds.
Stocks and Bonds Gain Ground Amid Easing Inflation and Economic Growth
Stocks and bonds came under pressure in October 2023, due to uncertainty regarding the Fed’s interest-rate stance in the wake of its aggressive rate hikes in 2022 and the first half of 2023. Sentiment turned positive in November 2023 as inflation fell to near 3%, still above the Fed’s 2% target rate, but generally moving in the desired direction. While the Fed kept the federal funds rate steady throughout the reporting period at 5.25%–5.50%, in December, Fed Chair Powell indicated a likelihood of rate cuts later in 2024. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to display surprising resilience, bolstered by strong consumer spending, rising wages and healthy levels of employment. Most other major global economies lagged, with higher rates of inflation and more modest levels of economic growth.
For the balance of the reporting period, risk-on sentiment prevailed within the equities market, with hopes for continued economic growth outweighing concerns regarding high interest rates and persistent inflation. Stocks trended higher on balance, largely driven by strong corporate earnings and optimism regarding developments in artificial intelligence (“AI”). Technology-related growth-oriented shares, particularly those leveraged to AI, tended to outperform their value-oriented counterparts. Bonds generally gained ground as well, with attractive yields driven by high interest rates. Corporate bonds generally outperformed government issues, with longer-duration instruments outperforming their shorter-duration counterparts, and lower-credit-quality issues, led by high yield, outperforming higher-credit-quality securities.
Fixed-Income Drives Relative Returns Followed by Equities
While most of the fund’s total gains were driven by equity positions, particularly in the large-cap and mid-cap blend categories, the contribution to relative returns was more balanced but led by fixed income. By style, positive active returns were driven by asset allocation led by domestic large blend equity followed by fixed income. From a manager selection perspective, the contribution from equity was negative and flat for fixed income.
Maintaining a Positive Outlook
As of February 29, 2024, our view of the markets is broadly positive. Corporate America appears financially healthy and resilient, and the economy seems less rate-sensitive due to the prior decade of zero rates. Developments in AI are likely to remain a significant force driving equity market gains. While inflation continues to slowly approach the Fed’s target, we see diminishing chances of recession and less risk of Fed actions surprising the market. We also note that markets have historically tended to outperform in election years when an incumbent is running for re-election. On the other hand, inflation remains sticky, particularly in the housing market. High levels of government debt servicing may drive spending lower, and the potential for contagion in the commercial real estate and banking industries remains present, along with unpredictable geopolitical risks.
Given this environment, our investment strategy team favors continuing to allocate the majority of the fund’s assets to equities, with a mild emphasis on large-cap blend and slightly underweight exposure to international developed and emerging markets. On the fixed-income side, the fund expects to maintain roughly market-weight exposure in most sectors, except for an
13

underweight position in emerging-markets debt. The fund also continues to find value in a modest diversifying allocation to alternatives.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class of each fund for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover rate) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. These figures have been derived from the funds’ financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company, operates as a series company currently consisting of eighteen series, including the following diversified funds: BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund, BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund and BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund (each, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”). The objectives of the funds are as follows: BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund seek capital appreciation and BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund seek total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income). BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund seek long-term capital growth. BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund seeks long-term growth of principal in conjunction with current income.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as each fund’s investment adviser. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (“Boston Partners”), and Geneva Capital Management LLC (“Geneva”), serve as BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s sub-adviser with respect to the Boston Partners Mid Cap Value Strategy and the Geneva Mid Cap Growth Strategy, respectively. Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (“NIMNA”), also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser serves as a sub-adviser of (i) BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund; (ii) BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund responsible for the portions of the fund’s assets allocated to the Opportunistic Mid Cap Value Strategy and the Mid Cap Growth Strategy; (iii) BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund responsible for the portions of the fund’s assets allocated to the Opportunistic Small Cap Strategy, the Small Cap Value Strategy and the Small Cap Growth Strategy; and (iv) BNY Mellon International Fund. NIMNA, subject to the Adviser’s supervision and approval, provides investment advisory assistance and research and the day-to-day management of the respective fund’s assets or the portion of the respective fund’s assets allocated to the strategies described above. NIMNA entered into a sub-sub-investment advisory agreement with its affiliate, Newton Investment Management Limited (“NIM”), to enable NIM to provide certain advisory services to NIMNA for the benefit of the funds, including, but not limited to, portfolio management services. NIM is subject to the supervision of the NIMNA and the Adviser. NIM, also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the sub-adviser for BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund. NIM entered into a sub-sub-investment advisory agreement with its affiliate, NIMNA, to enable NIMNA to provide certain advisory services to NIM for the benefit of the funds, including, but not limited to, portfolio management services. NIMNA is subject to the supervision of the NIM and the Adviser.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of each fund’s shares. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor and for BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund only Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y. Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution and/or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class A shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more may be charged a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if redeemed within one year. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of purchase, without the imposition of a sales charge. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share generally to institutional investors, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class I and Class Y shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on
80
investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value each fund’s investments are as follows:
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as each fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to each fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund: Investments in debt securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills) are valued each business day by one or more independent pricing services (each, a “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of a Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by a Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Securities are valued as determined by a Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in equity securities and exchanged traded funds are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are
81
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. U.S Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted prices and asked prices by the Service. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a Service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the funds calculate their net asset value, the funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.
The following below summarizes the inputs used as of February 29, 2024 in valuing each fund’s investments:

(b) Foreign currency transactions: Each relevant fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are also included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Foreign taxes: Each relevant fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the funds’ understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of February 29, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY Mellon, the funds may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Adviser, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or re-pledged by the funds, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in each fund’s Statements of Investments. The funds are entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, BNY Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the funds or credit the funds with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the funds’ rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. Table 1 summarizes the amount BNY Mellon earned from each relevant fund from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement during the period ended February 29, 2024.

For financial reporting purposes, each relevant fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a securities lending agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of February 29, 2024, each relevant fund had securities lending and the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the securities lending agreement are detailed in the following tables:

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(e) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect each fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.
Foreign Investment Risk: To the extent each fund invests in foreign securities, each fund’s performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards.
Emerging Market Risk: The securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging market countries tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of issuers located in countries with more mature economies. Emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in these countries may be subject to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. Special risks associated with investments in emerging market issuers may include a lack of publicly available information, a lack of uniform disclosure, accounting and financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and limited investor protections applicable in developed economies. The risks also may include unpredictable political and economic policies, the imposition of capital controls and/or foreign investment limitations by a country, nationalization of businesses and the imposition of sanctions or restrictions on certain investments by other countries, such as the United States.
ETF And Other Investment Company Risk: To the extent each relevant fund invests in pooled investment vehicles, such as ETFs and other investment companies, each relevant fund will be affected by the investment policies, practices and performance of such entities in direct proportion to the amount of assets each relevant fund has invested therein. The risks of investing in other investment companies, including ETFs, typically reflect the risks associated with the types of instruments in which the investment companies invest. When each relevant fund invests in an ETF or other investment company, shareholders of the fund will bear indirectly their proportionate share of the expenses of the ETF or other investment company (including management fees) in addition to the expenses of each relevant fund. ETFs are exchange-traded investment companies that are, in many cases, designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index. The value of the underlying securities can fluctuate in response to activities of individual companies or in response to general market and/or economic conditions. Additional risks of investments in ETFs include: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading may be halted if the listing exchanges’ officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts trading generally. The fund will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs.
86
Fixed-Income Market Risk: The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). An unexpected increase in each of the relevant fund redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of each of the relevant fund’s shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause each of the relevant fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect each of the relevant fund’s share price and increase each of the relevant fund’s liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Federal Reserve policy in response to market conditions, including with respect to interest rates, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Policy and legislative changes worldwide are affecting many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time.
(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by each fund on the ex-dividend date. BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund and BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund normally declare and pay dividends from net investment income monthly. BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund normally declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers of a fund, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(g) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
As of and during the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the three-year period ended August 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, each fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
Table 2 summarizes each relevant fund’s unused capital loss carryover available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, realized subsequent to August 31, 2023.
Table 3 summarizes each fund’s tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Pursuant to separate sub-investment advisory agreements, Geneva and Boston Partners serve as a sub-adviser responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective portion of BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser pays Boston Partners and Geneva separate monthly fees at an annual percentage of BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s average daily net assets allocated to the Boston Partners Mid Cap Value Strategy and the Geneva Mid Cap Growth Strategy, respectively. The Adviser has obtained an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”), upon which the funds may rely, to use a manager of managers approach that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions and approval by the Board, to enter into and materially amend sub-investment advisory agreements with one or more sub-advisers who are either unaffiliated with the Adviser or are wholly-owned subsidiaries (as defined under the Act) of the Adviser’s ultimate parent company, BNY Mellon, without obtaining shareholder approval.

89
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
disclose the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to any unaffiliated sub-adviser in the aggregate with other unaffiliated sub-advisers in documents filed with the SEC and provided to shareholders. In addition, pursuant to the Order, it is not necessary to disclose the sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser separately to a sub-adviser that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon in documents filed with the SEC and provided to shareholders; such fees are to be aggregated with fees payable to the Adviser. The Adviser has ultimate responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board) to supervise any sub-adviser and recommend the hiring, termination, and replacement of any sub-adviser to the Board.

The funds have an arrangement with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent fees. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statements of Operations.
The funds have an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Each fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing transfer agency services for BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares and cash management services for the funds. The majority of Transfer Agent fees for BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY Mellon pays each fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust, excluding BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund, Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares. Table 6 summarizes the amount each fund was charged during the period ended February 29, 2024, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statements of Operations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund
UPDATES TO SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS AVAILABLE FROM CERTAIN FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES:
The availability of certain sales charge reductions and waivers will depend on whether you purchase fund shares directly from the fund or through a financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load reductions or waivers or CDSC waivers, which are described in the fund’s prospectus. In all instances, it is the investor’s responsibility to notify the fund or the investor’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the investor for sales charge reductions or waivers. For reductions or waivers not available through a particular financial intermediary, investors will have to purchase fund shares directly from the fund or through another financial intermediary to receive these reductions or waivers.
Edward Jones
Clients of Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (Edward Jones) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge reductions and waivers, which can differ from the sales charge reductions and waivers described elsewhere in the fund’s prospectus or the SAI or through another financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of BNY Mellon Family of Funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge reductions or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Front-end sales charge reductions on Class A shares purchased on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms
Shareholders purchasing Class A shares of the fund on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms can reduce their initial sales charge in the following ways:
· Transaction size breakpoints, as described in the fund’s prospectus.
· Rights of accumulation (ROA), which entitle shareholders to breakpoint discounts as described in the fund’s prospectus, will be calculated based on the aggregated holdings of shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) held by the purchaser or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”) and, if grouping assets as a shareholder, includes all share classes of such funds held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. Shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds may be included in the ROA calculation only if the shareholder notifies Edward Jones about such shares. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge. The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level. For purposes of determining the value of a shareholder’s aggregated holdings, eligible shares held will be valued at the higher of their cost minus redemptions or current market value.
· Letter of intent (LOI), which allows for breakpoint discounts as described in the fund’s prospectus, based on anticipated purchases of shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds purchased over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. Eligible shares purchased pursuant to a LOI will be valued at the higher of their cost or current market value for purposes of determining the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts with respect to such share purchases. Each purchase a shareholder makes pursuant to a LOI during the 13-month period will receive the front-end sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount indicated in the LOI. Shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds may be included in the LOI calculation only if the shareholder notifies Edward Jones about such shares at the time of calculation. Shares purchased before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid by the shareholder. The sales charge will be adjusted if the shareholder does not meet the goal indicated in the LOI. If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
Front-end sales charge waivers on Class A shares purchased on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms
Shareholders purchasing Class A shares of the fund on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms may purchase Class A shares at NAV without payment of a sales charge as follows:
· shares purchased by associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones’ policies and procedures)
· shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program
· shares purchased through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions of the fund

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)
For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by John F. Flahive, CFA, portfolio manager with BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 2.35%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 2.18%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 2.35% for the same period.2
Bonds gained ground during the reporting period, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund produced mixed performance relative to its benchmark, with generally positive credit and sector positioning balanced by negative issue effects among Treasury holdings.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks total return (consisting of capital appreciation and current income). To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNY Mellon Investment Adviser) actively manages the fund’s bond market and maturity exposure and credit profile and uses a disciplined process to select bonds and manage risks. The fund’s investments in bonds must be rated investment grade (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the investment adviser.3 Investments in bonds may include government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities and municipal securities. Generally, the average effective duration of the fund’s portfolio will not exceed eight years.
Bonds Gain as Rates Plateau and the Economy Grows
The reporting period began on a negative note as bond yields rose and prices dipped, due to uncertainty regarding the Fed’s interest-rate stance in the wake of its aggressive rate hikes in 2022 and the first half of 2023. Sentiment turned positive in November 2023 as inflation fell to near 3%, still above the Fed’s 2% target rate, but generally moving in the desired direction. While the Fed kept the federal funds rate steady at 5.25%–5.50%, in December, Fed Chair Powell indicated a likelihood of rate cuts later in 2024. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to display surprising resilience, bolstered by strong consumer spending, rising wages and healthy levels of employment. Risk-on sentiment prevailed within the bond market, with long-term U.S. Treasury securities underperforming most other sectors, including short-term Treasury bonds. Corporate bonds generally outperformed government issues, with longer-duration instruments outperforming their shorter-duration counterparts, and lower-credit-quality issues, led by high yield, outperforming higher-credit-quality securities.
Credit and Sector Positioning Balanced by Treasury Selection
The fund performed in line with the Index, generally enhancing returns through effective credit and sector positioning but losing ground due to issue-related effects among Treasury holdings. Overweight exposure to corporate bonds—supported by strong issue selection—bolstered relative returns, with the greatest gains coming from the finance and industrial sectors, partly offset by the negative impact of lack of utility exposure. From a credit-quality perspective, the fund held overweight exposure to better-performing, lower-credit-quality securities rated BBB, and underweight exposure to bonds rated A and above. While these positions generally added value, negative issue and duration effects undermined returns in the AAA-rated group. The fund’s average duration was slightly long relative to the Index at the beginning of the period and extended further as the period progressed, further enhancing returns. Overall yield curve positioning proved additive as well, largely driven by duration and income effects.
Positioned for a Favorable Environment
As of February 29, 2024, we believe the bond market continues to look attractive in both absolute and relative terms, given the continued resilience of the U.S. economy and the Fed’s progress in bringing inflation under control. While high interest rates may prompt some economic weakness later in 2024, we believe a recession is unlikely and see most corporations as well positioned to weather a mild economic downturn, given generally solid balance sheets and modest levels of leverage. We remain confident in the ability of our experienced team to evaluate the creditworthiness of individual securities, providing an additional level of comfort in the fund’s exposure to lower-credit-quality assets. We continue to seek added yield by positioning the fund with a longer average duration than the Index and with overweight exposure to issues rated BBB and below.
March 15, 2024
1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.
2 Source: Lipper Inc. — The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable bond market. The Index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and nonagency). Investors cannot invest directly in any index.
3 The fund may continue to own investment-grade bonds (at the time of purchase), which are subsequently downgraded to below investment grade.
Bond funds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity 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.
Investing in foreign denominated and/or domiciled securities involves special risks, including changes in currency exchange rates, political, economic, and social instability, limited company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and less market liquidity. These risks generally are greater with emerging market countries.

For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by John F. Flahive, CFA, Portfolio Manager with BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 2.82%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 2.56%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 2.62% for the same period.2
Intermediate-term bonds gained ground during the reporting period, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund produced mixed performance relative to its benchmark, with generally positive credit and sector positioning balanced by negative issue effects among Treasury holdings.

When managing the fund, we use a disciplined process to select bonds and manage risk. We generally choose bonds based on yield, credit quality, the level of interest rates and inflation, general economic and financial trends, and our outlook for the securities markets. Our management process also includes computer modeling and scenario testing of possible changes in market conditions.

Overweight exposure to corporate bonds—supported by strong issue selection—bolstered relative returns, with the greatest gains coming from the industrial sector, particularly communications and energy. From a credit-quality perspective, the fund held overweight exposure to better-performing, lower-credit-quality securities rated BBB, and underweight exposure to bonds rated A and above. While these positions generally added value, negative income and issue effects undermined returns in the A-rated group. The fund’s average duration was short relative to the Index, although it extended as the period progressed. Overall yield curve positioning proved additive, with overweight exposure at the front end of the curve providing the strongest relative gains.
Positioned for a Favorable Environment
As of February 29, 2024, we believe the bond market continues to look attractive in both absolute and relative terms, given the continued resilience of the U.S. economy and the Fed’s progress in bringing inflation under control. While high interest rates may prompt some economic weakness later in 2024, we believe a recession is unlikely and see most corporations as well positioned to weather a mild economic downturn, given generally solid balance sheets and modest levels of leverage. We remain confident in the ability of our experienced team to evaluate the creditworthiness of individual securities, providing an additional level of comfort in the fund’s exposure to lower-credit-quality assets. We continue to seek added yield by positioning the fund with a longer average duration than the Index and with overweight exposure to issues rated BBB.

For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by John F. Flahive, CFA, portfolio manager with BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 4.68%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 4.59%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Credit Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 3.49%, and the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index, the fund’s secondary benchmark, produced a total return of 3.63% for the same period.2,3
Corporate bonds gained ground during the reporting period, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund outperformed the Index primarily due to favorable sector and credit positioning.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks total return (consisting of capital appreciation and current income). To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in corporate bonds, which include U.S. dollar-denominated bonds issued by U.S. and foreign corporations. The remainder of the fund’s assets may be invested in U.S. government and agency bonds, mortgage-related securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, foreign corporate bonds denominated in foreign currencies, foreign government bonds, municipal bonds and commercial paper, and other money market instruments. For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by the investment adviser, but no lower than Ba/BB (or the unrated equivalent as determined by the investment adviser) in the case of mortgage-related and asset-backed securities.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. uses a disciplined process to select bonds and manage risk. The investment adviser chooses bonds based on yield, credit quality, the level of interest rates and inflation, general economic and financial trends, and its outlook for the securities markets. In selecting corporate bonds for investment, the fund’s portfolio managers analyze fundamental metrics, including the issuer’s cash flow, leverage and operating margins, as well as its business strategy and operating performance, and macroeconomic factors.
Bonds Gain as Rates Plateau and the Economy Grows
The reporting period began on a negative note as bond yields rose and prices dipped, due to uncertainty regarding the Fed’s interest-rate stance in the wake of its aggressive rate hikes in 2022 and the first half of 2023. Sentiment turned positive in November 2023 as inflation fell to near 3%, still above the Fed’s 2% target rate, but generally moving in the desired direction. While the Fed kept the federal funds rate steady at 5.25%–5.50%, in December, Fed Chair Powell indicated a likelihood of rate cuts later in 2024. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to display surprising resilience, bolstered by strong consumer spending, rising wages and healthy levels of employment. Risk-on sentiment prevailed within the bond market. Corporate bonds generally outperformed government issues, with longer-duration instruments outperforming their shorter-duration counterparts, and lower-credit-quality issues, led by high yield, outperforming higher-credit-quality securities.
Outperforming Along Multiple Dimensions
Unlike the Index, which includes a significant allocation to government-related issues, including agencies, local authorities, sovereigns and supranationals, the fund held relatively little exposure outside of corporate bonds, a position that significantly enhanced relative returns, as did strong issue selection among corporates. From a sector perspective, the fund’s best returns came from finance, followed by industrial, with lack of exposure to utilities detracting slightly. Credit positioning also produced strongly positive relative returns, bolstered by significantly overweight exposure to credits rated BBB and below, and underweight exposure to higher-rated AA and A credits. The fund held no exposure to AAA-rated securities, further contributing to outperformance. Duration contributed positively to relative returns as well, with average duration slightly longer than the Index at the beginning of the reporting period, and extending to significantly longer by the end of the period.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)
For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by Lawrence R. Dunn, CFA, portfolio manager with BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 2.57%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 2.49%.1 In comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. Government 1-3 Year Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a total return of 2.46% for the same period.2
Short-term U.S. government bonds gained ground during the reporting period, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund outperformed the Index, largely due to out-of-Index allocations to mortgage-related securities.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital. To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, and in repurchase agreements. The fund may invest in mortgage-related securities issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, such as mortgage pass-through securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). The fund may also invest in collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), including stripped mortgage-backed securities. Generally, the fund’s average effective portfolio maturity and the average effective duration of the fund’s portfolio will be less than three years.
When choosing securities, we typically first examine U.S. and global economic conditions and other market factors to estimate long- and short-term interest rates. Using a research-driven investment process, generally we then seek to identify what we believe are potentially profitable sectors before they are widely perceived as such by the market. We also seek to identify underpriced or mispriced securities that appear likely to perform well over time.
Bonds Gain as Rates Plateau and the Economy Grows
The reporting period began on a negative note as bond yields rose and prices dipped, due to uncertainty regarding the Fed’s interest-rate stance in the wake of its aggressive rate hikes in 2022 and the first half of 2023. Sentiment turned positive in November 2023 as inflation fell to near 3%, still above the Fed’s 2% target rate, but generally moving in the desired direction. While the Fed kept the federal funds rate steady at 5.25%–5.50%, in December, Fed Chair Powell indicated a likelihood of rate cuts later in 2024. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to display surprising resilience, bolstered by strong consumer spending, rising wages and healthy levels of employment. Risk-on sentiment prevailed within the bond market, with long-term U.S. Treasury securities underperforming most other sectors, including short-term Treasury bonds. Government-related bonds, including agencies and local authorities, outperformed Treasury securities, as did most securitized products, including mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and commercial mortgage obligations (“CMOs”).
Allocations Bolster Relative Performance
Unlike the Index, which includes a significant allocation (over 95% during the reporting period) to Treasury securities, the fund allocated the majority of its assets (over 65%) to securitized products, including MBS, CMBS and CMOs, in an effort to enhance yield. These out-of-Index positions accounted for most of the fund’s outperformance. At the same time, we made successful efforts through careful issue selection to defend the fund’s mortgage-related holdings from prepayment risk and other key risks associated with such securities. A small, out-of-Index allocation to taxable municipal bonds also contributed slightly to relative returns. Throughout the period, we worked to keep the fund’s duration relatively neutral compared to the Index, with an average duration of 1.80 years versus 1.86 years for the Index. In aggregate, duration exposure provided a modestly positive contribution to relative performance. Yield curve exposure proved slightly positive as well, primarily due to the favorable impact of exposure to relatively long-maturity Treasury bonds during pullbacks in the market.
Positioned for a Favorable Environment
As of February 29, 2024, we believe the government bond market continues to look attractive in both absolute and relative terms, given the continued resilience of the U.S. economy and the Fed’s progress in bringing inflation under control. We expect to see rates begin to turn lower sometime in 2024, with the timing and degree driven by the Fed’s analysis of inflation and economic data. We expect to continue working to extend the fund’s duration, given the likelihood of declining rates, with a focus on increasing exposure to longer-duration Treasury securities. At the same time, we expect to maintain substantial out-of-Index exposure to securitized assets to maximize yield.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class of each fund for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. These figures have been derived from the funds’ financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company, operates as a series company currently consisting of eighteen series, including the following diversified funds: BNY Mellon Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund (each, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”). The objectives of the funds are as follows: BNY Mellon Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund seek total return (consisting of capital appreciation and current income). BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as each fund’s investment adviser. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of each fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Shareholder Service Plan and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs, and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
42
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value each fund’s investments are as follows:
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as each fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to each fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
Investments in debt securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills) are valued each business day by one or more independent pricing services (each, a “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of a Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by a Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Securities are valued as determined by a Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Each relevant fund: Investments in equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a Service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the funds calculate their net asset value, the funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following below summarizes the inputs used as of February 29, 2024 in valuing each fund’s investments:

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY Mellon, the funds may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Adviser, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or re-pledged by the funds, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in each fund’s Statements of Investments. The funds are entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, BNY Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the funds or credit the funds with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the funds’ rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. Table 1 summarizes the amount BNY Mellon earned from each relevant fund from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement during the period ended February 29, 2024.

For financial reporting purposes, each relevant fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a securities lending agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of February 29, 2024, each relevant fund had securities lending and the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the securities lending agreement are detailed in the following tables:

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(d) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect each fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.
Government Securities Risk: Not all obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Some obligations are backed only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there may be some risk of default by the issuer. Any guarantee by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities of a security held by the fund does not apply to the market value of such security or to shares of the fund itself.
Mortgage-Related Securities Risk: Mortgage-related securities are complex derivative instruments, subject to credit, prepayment and extension risk, and may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to price accurately than more traditional debt securities. The fund is subject to the credit risk associated with these securities, including the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuing federal agency, as well as the credit quality of the underlying assets. Although certain mortgage-related securities are guaranteed as to the timely payment of interest and principal by a third party (such as a U.S. government agency or instrumentality with respect to government-related mortgage securities) the market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of certain mortgage-related securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates. However, although the value of a mortgage-related security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true, since in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages underlying the security are more likely to be prepaid causing the fund to purchase new securities at current market rates, which usually will be lower. The loss of higher yielding underlying mortgages and the reinvestment of proceeds at lower interest rates, known as prepayment risk, can reduce the fund’s potential price gain in response to falling interest rates, reduce the fund’s yield and/or cause the fund’s share price to fall. When interest rates rise, the effective duration of the fund’s mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities may lengthen due to a drop in prepayments of the underlying mortgages or other assets. This is known as extension risk and would increase the fund’s sensitivity to rising interest rates and its potential for price declines.
Short-Term Trading Risk: At times, the fund may engage in short-term trading, which could produce higher transaction costs and taxable distributions and lower the fund’s after-tax performance.
Fixed-Income Market Risk: The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). An unexpected increase

in fund redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the funds’ shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause the funds to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the funds’ share price and increase the funds’ liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Federal Reserve policy in response to market conditions, including with respect to interest rates, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Policy and legislative changes worldwide are affecting many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time.
(e) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by each fund on the ex-dividend date. The funds normally declare and pay dividends from net investment income monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers of a fund, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
As of and during the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the three-year period ended August 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, each fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
Table 2 summarizes each relevant fund’s unused capital loss carryover available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, realized subsequent to August 31, 2023.
Table 3 summarizes each fund’s tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The funds participate with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $738 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY Mellon (the “BNYM Credit Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions (each, a “Facility”). The Citibank Credit Facility is available in two tranches: (i) Tranche A is in an amount equal to $618 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the funds, and (ii) Tranche B is in amount equal to $120 million and is available only to the BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. Prior to September 27, 2023, the Citibank Credit Facility was $823.5 million with Tranche A available in an amount equal to $688.5 million and Tranche B available in an amount equal to $135 million. In connection therewith, each fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNYM Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the funds based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Management Fee, Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is payable monthly and computed on the average daily value of each fund’s net assets at the following annual rates: .40% of BNY Mellon Bond Fund, .40% of BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund, .40% of BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund and .35% of BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund.
For BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Adviser has contractually agreed, from September 1, 2023 through December 29, 2024, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund so that the direct expenses of neither class of fund shares (excluding Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. On or after December 29, 2024, the Adviser may terminate this expense limitation agreement at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $71,988 during the period ended February 29, 2024.
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, The Bank of New York Mellon provides or arranges for fund accounting, transfer agency and other fund administration services and receives a fee based on the total net assets of the Trust based on the following rates:
0 up to $6 billion .15%
$6 billion up to $12 billion .12%
In excess of $12 billion .10%
(b) Each fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to its Investor shares. Each fund pays the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of its Investor shares average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding a fund, and services related to the maintenance of such shareholder accounts. The Shareholder Services Plan allows the Distributor to make payments from the shareholder services fees it collects from each fund to compensate service agents (certain banks, securities brokers or dealers and other financial institutions) with respect to these services. Table 4 summarizes the amounts Investor shares were charged during the period ended February 29, 2024, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statements of Operations.

The funds have an arrangement with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent fees. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statements of Operations.
The funds have an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Each fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the funds. The Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on cash management fees which are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY Mellon pays each
48
fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust. These fees, if any, are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits for each fund, also summarized in Table 5.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)
As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review your fund’s expenses
The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each class of each fund from September 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)
Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class of each fund for the fiscal periods indicated. All information reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. These figures have been derived from the funds’ financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company, operates as a series company currently consisting of eighteen series, including the following diversified funds: BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund and BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund (each, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”). The objectives of the funds are as follows: BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
Each fund is managed by Dreyfus, a division of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as each fund’s investment adviser. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
Effective September 1, 2023, the Adviser has engaged its affiliate, Dreyfus, to serve as the funds’ sub-investment adviser. Dreyfus is a division of Mellon Investments Corporation, a registered investment adviser and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon, with its principal office located at One Boston Place, 15th Floor, Boston, MA 02108.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Shareholder Service Plan and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
As of February 29, 2024, MBC Investments Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of BNY Mellon, held 40,000 shares of investor shares for BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund.
It is each fund’s policy to maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) per share of $1.00; the funds have adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the funds will be able to maintain a constant NAV per share of $1.00.
BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund operates as a “retail money market fund” as that term is defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Act. BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund is a “government money market fund” as that term is defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the
20
general oversight of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
At February 29, 2024, all of the securities in each fund were considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Adviser, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, each relevant fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, each relevant fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller. The collateral is held on behalf of each relevant fund by the tri-party administrator with respect to any tri-party agreement. The fund may also jointly enter into one or more repurchase agreements with other funds managed by the Adviser in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to section 17(d) and Rule 17d-1 under the Act. Any joint repurchase agreements must be collateralized fully by U.S. Government securities.
For financial reporting purposes, each relevant fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a Repurchase Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of February 29, 2024, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the Repurchase Agreement are detailed in the following tables:
| | | | | | |
| | | Assets ($) | | Liabilities ($) | |
BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund | | | | |
Repurchase Agreements | | 115,000,000 | | - | |
Total gross amount of assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | 115,000,000 | | - | |

Net amount | | - | | - | |
1 | The value of the related collateral received by the fund normally exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement by the fund. See Statement of Investments for detailed information regarding collateral received for open repurchase agreements. |
(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public
21
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken world-wide in response by governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines of large populations, and by businesses, including changes to operations and reducing staff.
Government Securities Risk: Not all obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Some obligations are backed only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there may be some risk of default by the issuer. Any guarantee by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities of a security held by the fund does not apply to the market value of such security or to shares of each relevant fund itself.
Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed or enhanced by the taxing authority of a local government, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by the credit of, or liquidity enhancement provided by, a private issuer. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or each relevant fund's ability to maintain a stable net asset value.
Repurchase Agreement Counterparty Risk: The fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty in a repurchase agreement could fail to honor the terms of the agreement.
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of each fund to declare dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
It is the policy of BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
As of and during the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the three-year period ended August 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, each fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $4,927 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2023. The fund has $222 of short-term capital losses and $4,705 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders for each fund during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023 was all ordinary income for BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund and for BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund were as follows: tax exempt income $7,026,672, ordinary income $28,935. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
At February 29, 2024, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for each relevant fund was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statements of Investments).
22
NOTE 2—Management Fee, Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is payable monthly and computed on the average daily value of each fund’s net assets at the following annual rates: .15% of BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund and .15% of BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund.
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, The Bank of New York Mellon provides or arranges for fund accounting, transfer agency and other fund administration services and receives a fee based on the total net assets of the Trust based on the following rates:
0 up to $6 billion .15%

(b) Each fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to its Investor shares. Each fund pays the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of its Investor shares average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding a fund, and services related to the maintenance of such shareholder accounts. The Shareholder Services Plan allows the Distributor to make payments from the shareholder services fees it collects from each fund to compensate service agents (certain banks, securities brokers or dealers and other financial institutions) with respect to these services. Table 1 summarizes the amounts Investor shares were charged during the period ended February 29, 2024, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statements of Operations.

The funds have an arrangement with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent fees. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statements of Operations.
BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby BNY Mellon Government Money Market Fund will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when positive cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund has an arrangement with the Custodian to receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which were used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as expense offsets in the Statements of Operations.
Each fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the funds. The Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on cash management fees which are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY Mellon pays each fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust. These fees, if any, are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. These fees were offset by earnings credits for each fund, also summarized in Table 2.
Each fund compensates the Custodian, under a custody agreement, for providing custodial services for each fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. Table 3 summarizes the amount each fund was charged during the period ended February 29, 2024 pursuant to the custody agreement. These fees were offset by earnings credits for each relevant fund, also summarized in Table 3.

NOTE 3—Securities Transactions:
BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the fund from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common Trustees and/or common officers, complies with Rule 17a-7 under the Act. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the fund engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the Act amounting to $72,130,000 and $83,335,000 respectively.
NOTE 4—Subsequent Event:
On July 12, 2023, the SEC adopted amendments to rules that govern money market funds. The amendments include a mandatory liquidity fee for institutional prime and institutional tax-exempt money market funds, which will apply when a fund experiences daily net redemptions that exceed 5% of net assets. The amendments maintain a fund board’s ability to impose liquidity fees (not to exceed 2% of the value of the shares redeemed) on a discretionary basis for non-government money market funds. The amendments also substantially increase the required minimum levels of daily and weekly liquid assets for all money market funds from 10% and 30%, to 25% and 50%, respectively. Further, the amendments remove a money market fund’s ability to impose temporary “gates” to suspend redemptions in order to prevent dilution and remove the link between a money market fund’s liquidity level and its imposition of liquidity fees. The amendments became effective October 2, 2023 with tiered compliance dates. The removal of the link between liquidity levels and the imposition of liquidity fees, as well as the removal of a money market fund’s ability to impose redemption gates, became effective on October 2, 2023. On April 2, 2024, money market funds will be required to comply with the increased daily and weekly liquid asset minimums, and non-government money market funds will be permitted to impose discretionary liquidity fees. On October 2, 2024, money market funds will be required to comply with the new mandatory liquidity fee framework.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)
For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by John F. Flahive, CFA and Mary Collette O’Brien, Portfolio Managers with BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon National Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 4.04%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 3.84%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Investment Grade Intermediate Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 3.83%.2
Intermediate municipal bonds gained ground, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth, strong levels of municipal solvency and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund outperformed its benchmark largely due to the positive impacts of credit, duration positioning and individual issue selection.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
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 in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax. The fund’s investments in municipal and taxable bonds must be rated investment grade at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the investment adviser.3 Generally, the fund’s average effective portfolio maturity will be between three and 10 years, and the average effective duration of the fund’s portfolio will not exceed eight years.
Municipal Bonds Gain as Rates Plateau and the Economy Grows
The reporting period began on a negative note as bond yields rose and prices dipped, due to uncertainty regarding the Fed’s interest-rate stance in the wake of its aggressive rate hikes in 2022 and the first half of 2023. Sentiment turned positive in November 2023 as inflation fell to near 3%, still above the Fed’s 2% target rate, but generally moving in the desired direction. While the Fed kept the federal funds rate steady at 5.25%–5.50%, in December, Fed Chair Powell indicated a likelihood of rate cuts later in 2024. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to display surprising resilience, bolstered by strong consumer spending, rising wages and healthy levels of employment. Although pandemic-era federal support for municipalities waned, most U.S. state and local governments continued to enjoy significant financial surpluses with ample resources to meet debt obligations. Within the municipal bond market, as within the broader bond market, lower-credit-quality and longer-duration instruments tended to generate stronger returns than higher-credit-quality and shorter-duration issues.
Credit and Curve Positioning Bolster Relative Returns
The fund outperformed the Index primarily due to credit and duration positioning. From a credit-quality perspective, the fund held overweight exposure to better-performing, lower-credit-quality municipals, with more than twice the Index exposure among BBB-rated securities. Underweight exposure to bonds rated AAA and AA further bolstered relative returns. Duration positioning proved positive as well, with the fund’s average duration shifting from slightly short compared to the Index at the start of the period, when the market rewarded shorter durations, to closer to neutral as of the end of the period. Even more significantly, the fund maintained a barbelled strategy in its maturity positioning, with overweight exposure to the short and long ends of the yield curve, and underweight exposure to the middle, or “belly,” of the curve. While overweight short-end exposure detracted from relative performance, overweight long-end exposure more than made up for it, enabling overall maturity positioning to materially bolster returns. Issue-specific effects proved materially positive as well, with security selection enhancing returns across the fund’s holdings. From a sector perspective, tax-supported state general obligation, local general obligation and dedicated tax issues were additive to performance, as were utility holdings.
Positioned for a Favorable Environment
As of February 29, 2024, we believe the municipal bond asset class continues to look attractive in both absolute and relative terms, given the continued resilience of the U.S. economy, the Fed’s progress in bringing inflation under control and the healthy financial condition of most state and local governments. While high interest rates may prompt some economic weakness later in 2024, we believe a recession is unlikely and see municipalities as well positioned to weather a mild economic downturn. We remain confident in the ability of our experienced team to evaluate the creditworthiness of individual securities, providing an additional level of comfort in the fund’s exposure to lower-credit-quality assets. We continue to seek added yield by positioning the fund with overweight exposure to issues rated A and below, and with out-of-Index exposure to bonds with maturities of 15 years and more.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)
For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by John F. Flahive, portfolio manager with BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon National Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 2.24%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 2.11%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark index, the S&P Municipal Bond Investment Grade Short Index2 (the “Index”), produced a total return of 2.23%.
Short-term municipal bonds gained ground, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth, strong levels of municipal solvency and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund produced mixed performance relative to its benchmark, with positive credit and sector positioning balanced by negative duration and income effects.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
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 in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax. The fund’s investments in municipal and taxable bonds must be rated investment grade at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the investment adviser.3 Generally, the average effective portfolio maturity and the average effective portfolio duration of the fund’s portfolio will be less than three years.
Municipal Bonds Gain as Rates Plateau and the Economy Grows
The reporting period began on a negative note as bond yields rose and prices dipped, due to uncertainty regarding the Fed’s interest-rate stance in the wake of its aggressive rate hikes in 2022 and the first half of 2023. Sentiment turned positive in November 2023 as inflation fell to near 3%, still above the Fed’s 2% target rate, but generally moving in the desired direction.

Within the municipal bond market, as within the broader bond market, lower-credit-quality and longer-duration instruments tended to generate stronger returns than higher-credit-quality and shorter-duration issues.
Credit and Sector Positioning Balanced by Duration and Income Effects
The fund performed in line with the Index, generally enhancing returns through effective credit and sector positioning but losing ground due to duration and income effects. From a credit-quality perspective, the fund held overweight exposure to better-performing, lower-credit-quality municipals, with overweight exposure than the Index to securities rated A and BBB; however, negative income and duration effects constrained the positive relative performance within these credit ratings groups. Underweight exposure to bonds rated AA bolstered relative returns as well; however, once again, negative income and duration effects took a toll on relative performance. Issue-specific effects proved materially positive, with security selection enhancing returns across the fund’s holdings. From a sector perspective, housing, tax-supported and Industrial Development Revenue/Pollution Control Revenue (IDR/PCR) were most additive to performance. The impact of the fund’s positioning along the yield curve proved mixed.
Positioned for a Favorable Environment
As of February 29, 2024, we believe the municipal bond asset class continues to look attractive in both absolute and relative terms, given the continued resilience of the U.S. economy, the Fed’s progress in bringing inflation under control and the healthy financial condition of most state and local governments. While high interest rates may prompt some economic weakness later in 2024, we believe a recession is unlikely and see municipalities as well positioned to weather a mild economic downturn.

We continue to seek added yield by positioning the fund with overweight exposure to issues rated A and below, and with out-of-Index exposure to bonds with maturities of four years and more.

Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 3.91%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 3.69%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Investment Grade Intermediate Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 3.83%. 2
Intermediate municipal bonds gained ground, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth, strong levels of municipal solvency and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund produced mixed performance relative to its benchmark, with positive credit and sector positioning balanced by negative duration effects.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state personal income taxes. These municipal bonds include those issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as well as those issued by territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, or multistate agencies and authorities, and certain other specified securities. The fund’s investments in municipal and taxable bonds must be rated investment grade (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the investment adviser.3 Generally, the fund’s average effective portfolio maturity will be between three and 10 years, and the average effective duration of the fund’s portfolio will not exceed eight years.

The fund maintained a barbelled strategy in its maturity positioning, with overweight exposure to the short and long ends of the yield curve, and underweight exposure to the middle, or “belly,” of the curve.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)
For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by Mary Collette O’Brien and Stephen J. O’Brien, portfolio managers of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 3.89%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 3.68%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Investment Grade Intermediate Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 3.83%.2
Intermediate municipal bonds gained ground, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth, strong levels of municipal solvency and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. Fund performance tracked the benchmark, with positive effects from credit and sector positioning balanced by negative duration effects.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state income taxes as is 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 and Massachusetts state personal income taxes. The fund’s investments in municipal and taxable bonds must be rated investment grade at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the investment adviser.3 Generally, the fund’s average effective portfolio maturity will be between three and 10 years, and the average effective duration of the fund’s portfolio will not exceed eight years.

Underweight exposure to bonds rated AAA and AA further bolstered relative returns. Issue-specific effects proved materially positive as well, with security selection enhancing returns across the fund’s holdings. From a sector perspective, education, and tax-supported issues (particularly state general obligation bonds) were most additive to performance, while Industrial Development Revenue/Pollution Control Revenue (IDR/PCR), transportation and housing bonds detracted. The impact of the fund’s positioning along the yield curve proved mixed. The fund maintained a barbelled strategy in its maturity positioning, with overweight exposure to short and long segments of the yield curve relative to the benchmark, and underweight exposure to the middle, or “belly,” of the curve. While overall yield curve positioning added value, securities with shorter durations at some points along the curve detracted from that.

Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 3.89%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 3.66%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Investment Grade Intermediate Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 3.83% for the same period.2
Intermediate municipal bonds gained ground, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth, strong levels of municipal solvency and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund produced mixed performance relative to its benchmark, with positive credit and sector positioning balanced by negative duration and income effects.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. This objective may be changed without shareholder approval. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City personal income taxes. These municipal bonds include those issued by New York State and New York City, as well as those issued by U.S. territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, or multistate agencies and authorities, and certain other specified securities. Generally, the fund’s average effective portfolio maturity will be between three and 10 years.

The fund performed in line with the Index, generally enhancing returns through effective credit and sector positioning but losing ground due to duration and income effects. From a credit-quality perspective, the fund held overweight exposure to better-performing, lower-credit-quality municipals, with significantly greater exposure to securities rated BBB than the Index and mildly greater exposure to bonds rated A; however, negative duration effects undermined relative performance within these credit ratings groups. Underweight exposure to bonds rated AA bolstered relative returns more substantially. Issue-specific effects proved materially positive, with security selection enhancing returns across the fund’s holdings. From a sector perspective, Industrial Development Revenue/Pollution Control Revenue (IDR/PCR), tax-supported, utilities and transportation were most additive to performance, while tobacco and housing detracted mildly. The impact of the fund’s positioning along the yield curve proved mixed.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)
For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by John F. Flahive, CFA, portfolio manager with BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund’s (the “fund”) Class M shares produced a total return of 5.55%, and Investor shares produced a total return of 5.50%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 4.33% for the same period.2
Municipal bonds gained ground, benefiting from positive U.S. economic growth, strong levels of municipal solvency and a shift by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) away from further rate hikes. The fund outperformed its benchmark largely due to the positive impacts of credit and duration positioning and interest-rate hedges.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to maximize total return consisting of high current income exempt from federal income tax and capital appreciation. This objective may be changed without shareholder approval. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-income securities that provide income exempt from federal income tax (municipal bonds). While the fund typically invests in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds, it may invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable fixed-income securities, including taxable municipal bonds and non-U.S. dollar-denominated, foreign-debt securities, such as Brady bonds and sovereign-debt obligations.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. seeks to deliver value-added, excess returns (“alpha”) by applying an investment approach designed to identify and exploit relative-value opportunities within the municipal bond market. Although the fund seeks to be diversified by geography and sector, it may at times invest a significant portion of its assets in a particular state or region or in a particular sector due to market conditions.
Municipal Bonds Gain as Rates Plateau and the Economy Grows
The reporting period began on a negative note as bond yields rose and prices dipped, due to uncertainty regarding the Fed’s interest-rate stance in the wake of its aggressive rate hikes in 2022 and the first half of 2023. Sentiment turned positive in November 2023 as inflation fell to near 3%, still above the Fed’s 2% target rate, but generally moving in the desired direction. While the Fed kept the federal funds rate steady at 5.25%–5.50%, in December, Fed Chair Powell indicated a likelihood of rate cuts later in 2024. At the same time, the U.S. economy continued to display surprising resilience, bolstered by strong consumer spending, rising wages and healthy levels of employment. Although pandemic-era federal support for municipalities waned, most U.S. state and local governments continued to enjoy significant financial surpluses with ample resources to meet debt obligations. Within the municipal bond market, as within the broader bond market, lower-credit-quality and longer-duration instruments tended to generate stronger returns than higher-credit-quality and shorter-duration issues.
Credit and Curve Positioning Bolster Relative Returns
The fund outperformed the Index due to several advantageous positioning decisions. From a credit-quality perspective, the fund held significantly overweight exposure to better-performing, lower-credit-quality municipals rated BBB and below, slightly overweight exposure to mildly outperforming A-rated bonds, and significantly underweight exposure to higher-quality, weaker-performing issues rated AA and above. All these credit positions added to the fund’s performance relative to the Index. Duration positioning proved positive as well, with the fund’s average duration substantially longer than the Index and extending further over the course of the reporting period, from 111.0% to 113.8%. In terms of yield curve positioning, the fund added value by employing a barbelled strategy, with overweight exposure to the short and long ends of the yield curve, and underweight exposure to the middle, or “belly,” of the curve. While a small number of these positions detracted from relative performance due to allocation or issue effects, on average, they materially bolstered returns. The fund gained additional relative value through the positive impact of Treasury bond futures, positions designed to dampen volatility and lower the fund’s effective duration. These positions effectively increased the fund’s exposure to the long end of the yield curve, where yields were most attractive, proving particularly effective during the early months of the period.
Positioned for a Favorable Environment
As of February 29, 2024, we believe the municipal bond asset class continues to look attractive in both absolute and relative terms, given the continued resilience of the U.S. economy, the Fed’s progress in bringing inflation under control and the healthy financial condition of most state and local governments. While high interest rates may prompt some economic weakness later in 2024, we believe a recession is unlikely and see municipalities as well positioned to weather a mild economic downturn. We remain confident in the ability of our experienced team to evaluate the creditworthiness of individual securities, providing an additional level of comfort in the fund’s exposure to lower-credit-quality assets. We continue to seek added yield by maintaining the fund’s overweight exposure to issues rated A and below, relatively long average duration and barbelled maturity positioning. While we have significantly decreased the fund’s hedging positions, we continue to maintain some hedges to dampen volatility and protect the fund against the possibility of rising interest rates.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable.

Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity 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. Municipal income may be subject to state and local taxes. Capital gains, if any, are taxable.
The fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund’s performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class of each fund for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover rate) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. These figures have been derived from the funds’ financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company, operates as a series company currently consisting of eighteen series, including the following diversified funds: BNY Mellon National Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon National Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund (each, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”). The objectives of the funds are as follows: BNY Mellon National Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and BNY Mellon National Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund seek to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund seeks to maximize total return consisting of high current income exempt from federal income tax and capital appreciation.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as each fund’s investment adviser. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of each fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Shareholder Service Plan and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
98
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value each fund’s investments are as follows:
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as each fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to each fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
Investments in municipal securities and futures are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Municipal investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Service is engaged under the general oversight of the Board. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the funds calculate their net asset value, the funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Futures are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following below summarizes the inputs used as of February 29, 2024 in valuing each fund’s investments:

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund each follow an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the funds.
(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect each fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.
Municipal Securities Risk: The amount of public information available about municipal securities is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the funds’ investments in municipal securities. Other factors include the general conditions of the municipal securities market, the size of the particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. Changes in economic, business or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, or state, territory or possession of the United States in which each fund invests may have an impact on the funds’ share price. Any such credit impairment could adversely impact the value of their bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the fund.
State-Specific Risk: BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund is subject to the risk that Pennsylvania’s economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in the municipal obligations of a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to that state and may entail more risk than investing in the municipal obligations of multiple states as a result of potentially less diversification.
BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund is subject to the risk that Massachusetts’ economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in the municipal obligations of a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to that state and may entail more risk than investing in the municipal obligations of multiple states as a result of potentially less diversification.
BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund is subject to the risk that New York’s economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in the municipal obligations of a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to that state and may entail more risk than investing in the municipal obligations of multiple states as a result of potentially less diversification.
Derivatives Risk: A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the relevant fund’s performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets, and the relevant fund’s use of derivatives may result in losses to the relevant fund. Derivatives in which the fund may invest can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the relevant fund will not correlate with the underlying assets or the relevant fund’s other investments in the manner intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment, and involve greater risks than the underlying assets because, in addition to general market risks, they are subject to liquidity risk, credit and counterparty risk (failure of the counterparty to the derivatives transaction to honor its obligation) and pricing risk (risk that the derivative cannot or will not be accurately valued).
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of each fund to declare dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the
101
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
As of and during the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the three-year period ended August 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, each fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
Table 1 summarizes each relevant fund’s unused capital loss carryover available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, realized subsequent to August 31, 2023.
Table 2 summarizes each fund’s tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

The funds have arrangements with the BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), both a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include net earnings credits, if any, as expense offsets in the Statements of Operations.
Each fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the funds. The Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on cash management fees which are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY Mellon pays each fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits for each relevant fund, also summarized in Table 4.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Inverse Floater Securities: BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund participates in secondary inverse floater structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds are transferred to a trust (the “Inverse Floater Trust”). The Inverse Floater Trust typically issues two variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a short-term floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals (“Trust Certificates”). A residual interest tax-exempt security is also created by the Inverse Floater Trust, which is transferred to the fund, and is paid interest based on the remaining cash flows of the Inverse Floater Trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the Inverse Floater Trust. An Inverse Floater Trust may be collapsed without the consent of the fund due to certain termination events such as bankruptcy, default or other credit event.
The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Inverse Floater Trust as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investments, and the related floating rate certificate securities reflected as fund liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The fund may invest in inverse floater securities on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. These securities are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to a termination event. When the fund invests in inverse floater securities on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination event to the holders of the Trust Certificates. When this occurs, the Liquidity Provider typically liquidates all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the Inverse Floater Trust. A liquidation shortfall occurs if the Trust Certificates exceed the proceeds of the sale of the bonds in the Inverse Floater Trust (“Liquidation Shortfall”). When a fund invests in inverse floater securities on a recourse basis, the fund typically enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the fund is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a fund investing in a recourse inverse floater security bears the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the inverse floater structure during the period ended February 29, 2024, was approximately $16,807,940, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 3.46%.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. 18f-4 under the Act regulates the use of derivatives transactions for certain funds registered under the Act. Each fund, with the exception of the BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund, is deemed a “limited” derivatives user under the rule and is required to limit its derivatives exposure so that the total notional value of applicable derivatives does not exceed 10% of each fund’s net assets, and is subject to certain reporting requirements.
BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund’s derivative transactions are subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain reporting and other requirements pursuant to a derivatives risk management program adopted by the fund. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by each relevant fund during the period ended February 29, 2024 is discussed below.
Futures: In the normal course of pursuing their investment objective, each relevant fund exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The funds invest in futures in order to manage their exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statements of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the funds recognize a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statements of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the funds with futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at February 29, 2024 are set forth in the each relevant fund’s Statements of Investments.
